Note 1.1 Significant Accounting Policies
i Basis of Preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of certain financial assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value, on an accrual basis of accounting.
The Companyâs financial statements are reported in Indian Rupees, which is also the Companyâs functional currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest lakhs (INR 00,000), except when otherwise indicated.
ii Operating cycle for current and non-current classification:
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current, wherever applicable, as per the operating cycle of the Company as per the guidance set out in Schedule III to the Act. Operating cycle for the business activities of the Company covers the duration of the project/ contract/ service including the defect liability period, wherever applicable, and extends upto the realisation of receivables (including retention monies) within the credit period normally applicable to the respective project.
iii Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS, requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the results of operation during the reported period. Although these estimates are based upon managementâs best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates which are recognised in the period in which they are determined.
iv Key estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Contract estimates
The Company, being a part of construction industry, prepares budgets in respect of each project to compute project profitability. The two major components of contract estimate are âclaims arising during construction periodâ (described below) and âbudgeted costs to complete the contractâ. While estimating these components various assumptions are considered by the management such as (i) Work will be executed in the manner expected so that the project is completed timely (ii) consumption norms will remain same (iii) Assets will operate at the same level of productivity as determined (iv) Wastage will not exceed the normal % as determined etc. (v) Estimates for contingencies (vi) There will be no change in design and the geological factors will be same as communicated and (vii) Price escalations etc. Due to such complexities involved in the budgeting process, contract estimates are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Recoverability of claims
The Company has claims in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work etc., which are at various stages of negotiation/discussion with the clients or under arbitration. The realisability of these claims are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience with similar claims as well as legal opinion obtained from internal and external experts, wherever necessary. Changes in facts of the case or the legal framework may impact realisability of these claims.
Valuation of investment in/ loans to subsidiaries/ joint ventures
The Company has performed valuation for its investments in equity of subsidiaries / joint ventures for assessing whether there is any impairment in the fair value. When the fair value of investments in subsidiaries cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. Similar assessment is carried out for exposure in the nature of loans and interest receivable thereon. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as expected earnings in future years, liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of these investments.
Deferred tax assets
In assessing the realisability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
Defined benefit plans
The cost and present value of the gratuity obligation and compensated absences are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
v. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, at fair value at each balance sheet date. (Refer Note 34)
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, In the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participantâs ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels inthe hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Companyâs accounting policies. For this analysis, the Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Management also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
vi. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition including attributable interest and finance costs, if any, till the date of acquisition/ installation of the assets less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Subsequent expenditure relating to Property, Plant and Equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use and the resultant gain or loss are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Capital work-in-progress, representing expenditure incurred in respect of assets under development and not ready for their intended use, are carried at cost. Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, related borrowing cost and other direct expenditure.
vii Intangible Assets
Intangible assets comprise of license fees and implementation cost for software and other application software acquired / developed for in-house use. These assets are stated at cost, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
viii Depreciation/ Amortisation Depreciation/ amortisation is provided:
a. Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on straight line basis considering the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Act on a pro-rata basis. However, certain class of plant and machinery used in construction projects are depreciated on a straight line basis considering the useful life determined based on the technical evaluation and the managementâs experience of use of the assets, that is a period of three to ten years, as against the period of nine to twenty years as prescribed in Schedule II to the Act.
b. Leasehold land is not amortised as these are in the nature of perpetual lease.
c. Computer software and other application software costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives that is over a period of three years.
The useful lives have been determined based on technical evaluation carried out by the managementâs expert, in order to reflect the actual usage of the assets. The assetâs useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
The estimated useful lives are as below:
Building : 60 years Pland and equipment: 5 - 12 years Office equipment : 5 years Furniture and fixtures :10 years
Vehicles : 6 years Computers : 3 years
An assetâs carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assetâs carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
ix Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a Financial Assets Initial Recognition
In the case of financial assets, not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model with an objective to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate (âEIRâ) method. Impairment gains or losses arising on these assets are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets are measured at fair value through OCI if these financial assets are held within a business model with an objective to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI is carried at FVPL.
Interest free intercompany loans
Intercompany loans to subsidiaries/ jointly controlled entities for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and in substance is a part of the Companyâs net investment in those subsidiaries/ jointly controlled entities, are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, and forms part of investment in other equity of these entities.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the expected credit loss (âECLâ) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures.
The Company follows âsimplified approachâ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
De-recognition of Financial Assets
The Company de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
b. Equity Instruments and Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments which are issued for cash are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Equity instruments which are issued for consideration other than cash are recorded at fair value of the equity instrument.
Financial Liabilities
1) Initial Recognition
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and borrowings and payables as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
2) Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at FVPL
Financial liabilities at FVPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation. Amortisation is recognised as finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3) De-recognition of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as de-recognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c. Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
x Employee Benefits
a. Defined Contribution Plan
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as provident fund, employeesâ state insurance, labour welfare are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further obligations beyond the monthly contributions.
b. Defined Benefit Plan
The Company also provides for gratuity which is a defined benefit plan, the liabilities of which is determined based on valuations, as at the balance sheet date, made by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of gratuity are recognised in the OCI, in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognised in OCI are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of plan amendment or curtailment. The classification of the Companyâs obligation into current and non-current is as per the actuarial valuation report.
c. Leave entitlement and compensated absences
Accumulated leave which is expected to be utilised within next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. Leave entitlement, other than short term compensated absences, are provided based on a actuarial valuation, similar to that of gratuity benefit. Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of leave entitlement are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.
d. Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as salaries, wages, performance incentives etc. are recognised as expenses at the undiscounted amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period in which the related service is rendered. Expenses on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised in the period in which the absences occur.
xi Inventories
The stock of construction materials is valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined on weighted average basis and includes all applicable cost of bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is estimated selling price in ordinary course of business less the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
xii Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprises of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three month or less, whichare subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
xiii Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker regularly monitors and reviews the operating result of the whole Company as one segment of âEngineering and Constructionâ. Thus, as defined in Ind AS 108 âOperating Segmentsâ the Companyâs entire business falls under this one operational segment and hence the necessary information has already been disclosed in the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss.
xiv Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Also, the EIR amortisation is included in finance costs.
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.
xv Foreign Exchange Translation of Foreign Projects and Accounting of Foreign Exchange Transaction
a. Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. However, for practical reasons, the Company uses a monthly average rate if the average rate approximate the actual rate at the date of the transactions.
b. Conversion
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported using the closing rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
c. Treatment of Exchange Difference
Exchange differences arising on settlement/ restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has opted to continue with the accounting for exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items, outstanding as on the transition date, as per previous GAAP. Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalised and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
xvi. Revenue Recognition
a. Accounting of Construction Contracts
The Company follows the percentage completion method, on the basis of physical measurement of work actually completed at the balance sheet date, taking into account the contractual price and revision thereto by estimating total revenue and total cost till completion of the contract and the profit so determined has been accounted for proportionate to the percentage of the actual work done. Unbilled work for projects under execution as at balance sheet date are valued at cost less provision for estimated losses, if any. The costs of projects in respect of which revenue is recognised under the Companyâs revenue recognition policies but have not been billed are adjusted for the proportionate profit recognized. The cost comprise of expenditure incurred in relation to execution of the project.
Revenue is recognised as follows:
- In case of item rate contracts on the basis of physical measurement of work actually completed, at the Balance Sheet date.
- In case of Lump sum contracts, revenue is recognised on the completion of milestones as specified in the contract or as identified by the management. Foreseeable losses are accounted for as and when they are determined except to the extent they are expected to be recovered through claims presented or to be presented to the customer or in arbitration.
Advance payments received from contractee for which no services are rendered are presented as âAdvance from contracteeâ.
b. Accounting of Supply Contracts-Sale of Goods
Revenue from supply contract is recognised when the substantial risk and rewards of ownership is transferred to the buyer, which is generally on dispatch, and the collectability is reasonably measured. Revenue from product sales are shown as net of all applicable taxes and discounts.
c. Accounting for Claims
Claims are accounted as income in the period of receipt of arbitration award or acceptance by client or evidence of acceptance received.
Other Income
a. Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable Effective Interest Rate (EIR).
d. Dividend Income
Dividend is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
c. Other Income
Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
xvii. Interest in Joint Arrangements
As per Ind AS 111 - Joint Arrangements, investment in Joint Arrangement is classified as either Joint Operation or Joint Venture. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor rather than legal structure of the Joint Arrangement. The Company classifies its Joint Arrangements as Joint Operations.
The Company recognises its direct right to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of Joint Operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.
xviii.Income Tax
Income tax comprises of current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent it relates to items directly recognised in equity or in OCI.
a. Current Income Tax
Current income tax is recognised based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax ct, 1961. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
b. Deferred Income Tax
Deferred tax is determined by applying the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible temporary differences between the financial statementsâ carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates that are substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realisation.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Minimum Alternative Tax (âMATâ) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent it is probable that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
xix. Leases
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the leased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Assets acquired on finance lease are capitalised at fair value or present value of minimum lease payment at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.
xx Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
As at each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognised in the previous periods. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
- In case of an individual asset, at the higher of the assetsâ fair value less cost to sell and value in use; and
- In case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of cash generating unitâs fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specified to the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market transaction are taken into account. If no such transaction can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.
xxi. Trade receivables
A receivable is classified as a âtrade receivableâ if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods sold or services rendered in the normal course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method, less provision for impairment.
xxii. Trade payables
A payable is classified as a âtrade payableâ if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods purchased or services received in the normal course of business. These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually settled as per the payment terms stated in the contract. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
xxiii. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company and weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares).
xxiv.Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions (excluding gratuity and compensated absences) are determined based on managementâs estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In case the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. A contingent liability also arises, in rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
xv. Exceptional Items
When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.

The carrying amounts of both tangible and intangible assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its value in use. A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.
1.6 Borrowing costs

present value and are determined based on management''s estimate
required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are
reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to refect the current
management estimates. Provisions are recognized in the financial
statements in respect of present probable obligations, for amounts
which can be reliably estimated. Contingent Liabilities are disclosed

with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (the ''Act'')
and comply in all material aspects with Accounting Standards prescribed
by the Central Government, in accordance with the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules 2006, to the extent applicable.
b. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of
financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses
during the reporting year. Key estimates include estimate of useful
life of fixed assets, unbilled revenue, income tax and future
obligations under employee retirement benefit plans. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates
will be recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.
c. Fixed assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated
depreciation. Cost includes inward freight, duties, taxes, and
incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation up to the
point the asset is ready for its intended use. Intangible assets
includes software which are not integral part of the hardware are
stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.
Capital work in progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of
capital projects under development and are carried at cost. Intangible
assets under development represents expenditure incurred in respect of
computer software under development and are carried at cost.
Cost includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost,
borrowing costs capitalized and other direct expenditure.
d. Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation on assets, other than pantoon, shuttering materials and
truss, is provided on written down value method, pro rata from the
period of use of assets, at the rates stipulated in Schedule XIV of the
Companies Act, 1956. Pantoon, shuttering material and truss are
depreciated over the period of 5 years based on the management''s
estimate of useful life of the asset. Individual assets costing less
than Rs. 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year they are put to use.
e. Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of the Company''s assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on
internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized whenever
the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where
applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset
belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its
value in use. Impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss or against revaluation surplus where applicable.
f. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time to get ready
for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent
they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
Other borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in
the year in which it is accrued.

investments are classified as long-term investments. Long-term
investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in
value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value
of the investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost

the balance sheet date, together with adjustments for unrecognised
actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit/
obligation is calculated at or near the balance sheet date by an
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial
gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial
assumptions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss
in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.

related to project works is valued at cost or estimated net realisable
value, whichever is lower, till such time the outcome of the related
project is ascertained reliably and at contract rates thereafter.

measured using the enacted tax rates or tax rates that are
substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet dates. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognised in the period that includes the enactment date. Where there
is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses, deferred tax assets
are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by
convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable
profits. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent
there is reasonable certainty of realization in the future. Such assets
are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realization.
Timing differences originating and reversing during the tax holiday
period are not considered for the purposes of computing deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
n. Provisions and Contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its
present value and are determined based on management estimate required
to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed
at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current
management estimates. Provisions are recognized in the financial
statements in respect of present probable obligations, for amounts
which can be reliably estimated.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations
that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the
occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Company.

A. Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
The financial statements which have been prepared under the historical
cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting, are in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (the ÃActÃ)
and comply in all material aspects with Accounting Standards prescribed
by the Central Government, in accordance with the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules 2006, to the extent applicable.
b. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of
financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses
during the reporting year. Key estimates include estimate of useful
life of fixed assets, unbilled revenue, income tax and future
obligations under employee retirement benefit plans. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates
will be recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.
c. Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated
depreciation. Cost includes inward freight, duties, taxes, and
incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation up to the
point the asset is ready for its intended use.
Capital work in progress represents expenditure incurred in respect of
capital projects under development and are carried at cost. Cost
includes related acquisition expenses, construction cost, borrowing
costs capitalized and other direct expenditure.
d. Depreciation
Depreciation on assets is provided on written down value method, pro
rata from the period of use of assets, at the rates stipulated in
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Individual assets costing
less than Rs 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year they are put
to use.
e. Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of the CompanyÃs assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on
internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized whenever
the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where
applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset
belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its
value in use. Impairment loss is recognized in the Profit and Loss
Account or against revaluation surplus where applicable.
f. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying asset which takes substantial period of time to get ready
for its intended use are added to the cost of such asset to the extent
they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
Other borrowing costs are charged to Profit and Loss Account in the
year in which it is accrued.
g. Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long- term investments. Long-term
investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in
value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value
of the investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost
and net realizable value determined on an individual investment basis.
h. Inventories
Inventory of construction materials is stated at lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost is determined using First-in-First-out (FIFO)
method.
i. Employee benefits
i. Defined Contribution Plan

Insurance Corporation Act, 1948 which is a defined contribution plan
and contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the
period in which services are rendered by the employee.
ii. Defined Benefit Plan
Gratuity is a post employment benefit and is in the nature of a defined
benefit plan. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect
of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/ obligation at
the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together
with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past
service costs. The defined benefit/ obligation is calculated at or near
the balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected
unit credit method.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in
actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the Profit and Loss
Account in the year to which such gains or losses relate.
iii. All short term employee benefits are accounted on undiscounted
basis during the accounting period based on services rendered by
employees. The Company does not have a policy for compensating
absences.
j. Revenue recognition
i. Revenue from construction contracts
The Company follows the percentage completion method, on the basis of
physical measurement of work actually completed at the balance sheet
date, taking into account the contractual price and revision thereto by
estimating total revenue and total cost till completion of the contract
and the profit so determined has been accounted for proportionate to
the percentage of the actual work done. Unbilled work- in-progress is
valued at contract rates. Foreseeable losses are accounted for as and
when they are determined except to the extent they are expected to be
recovered through claims presented.
ii. Revenue from joint venture contracts
a. Contracts executed in Joint Venture under work sharing arrangement
(consortium) are accounted in accordance with the accounting policy
followed by the Company for an independent contract to the extent work
is executed.
b. In respect of contracts executed in Integrated Joint Ventures under
profit sharing arrangement (assessed as Association of Persons under
Income tax laws), the services rendered to the Joint Ventures are

investment in the Joint Venture is reflected as investments, loans
and advances or current liabilities.

where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted
for on receipt basis.
