The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial statements.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration expected to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company recognises the revenue
as per five step model as specified in Ind AS 115. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured
at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The
transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts
and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
The revenue from the sale of software products (including IPR based licenses) is recognised on delivery/granting of
right to use. In respect of service contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there
is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, revenue is recognized over time. Revenue from
fixed price service contracts is recognised based on acts performed as specified in the contracts over the contract
period where performance of several acts is required over that period. In the case of time and material contracts,
revenue is recognised on the basis of hours completed and material used. Revenue from annual maintenance contracts,
lease of licenses, IT infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is recognised proportionately
over the period in which the services are rendered/licenses is leased. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on
transfer of control over the goods to the customer. Sales are recorded net of returns (if any), trade discounts, rebates,
and goods and service tax. Projected losses, if any, are provided in entirety as per Ind AS based on management''s
current estimates of cost to completion arrived at on the basis of technical assessment of time and effort required and
estimates of future expenditure.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which are referred to as unbilled revenue). Contract
assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive
cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as
contract liabilities (which are referred to as unearned revenues).
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest
rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to
the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the
expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment,
extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income in respect of
income tax is accounted on receipt basis.
Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease
and presented as other income.
i. Recognition and Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
The cost of PPE comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after
deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in the asset to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress".
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is recognised in Statement of Profit &
Loss.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits with
these will flow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated
residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leased assets and leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in
estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Freehold Land is not depreciated. For others, depreciation has been provided on the basis of estimated useful life
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The cost of intangible assets
comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts
and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective
individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Research costs
are expensed as incurred. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes
in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Company amortises intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows:
⢠Patents, copyright and other rights - 8 years
⢠Computer software - 4 to 6 years
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently investment properties
comprising buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Fair value is calculated using
discounted cash flow method and other relevant factors, if any. Useful life of the investment property is considered as
58 years.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that
are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of
balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instruments. The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which
it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at recognition.
Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss including cumulative gain or loss in
case of financial assets subsequently valued at fair value through other comprehensive income. In case of financial
assets subsequently fair valued through profit or loss, gain or loss is presented on a net basis.
In case of financial liability any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non¬
financial assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments as define in Ind AS 113, the
Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs, valuation adjustments, uses a variety of methods and
assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks, existing at each reporting date. The methods used to
determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All
methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
The Company is directly reducing the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable
expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition
event.
i. Financial Assets
For the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss, the Company tests loss allowances using
the expected credit loss (ECL) model and recognises, if any.
Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to
lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month
ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are
measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss
allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment
gain or loss in profit or loss.
ii. Non-financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Company''s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then asset''s / cash generating unit
(CGU)''s recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is estimated. An
impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment
losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting
date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only
to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at
the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate
at the reporting date. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.
i. Short-term Obligations
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services
rendered by employees is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee renders those services.
ii. Other long-term employee benefit obligations
Compensated Absences
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature.
The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an
independent actuary at each reporting date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected
to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date and recognised
in Statement of Profit and Loss. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the year in
which the absences occur.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (''the Gratuity Plan'') covering eligible
employees. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by actuaries using the projected unit credit
method.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognised, net of tax impact, in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are
included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the
present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised
immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. The amount of net interest expense calculated by applying the
liability discount rate to the net defined liability or asset is charged or credited to ''Finance Cost'' in Statement of
Profit and Loss.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations.
The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are
accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense
when they are due.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and it is recognised in profit or loss or in OCI.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or
recoverable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Interest income in respect of income tax is shown under
Other Income and accounted on receipt basis. Interest expenses and penalties, if any, are included in Current Tax
Expense. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset as per IND AS 12.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT
credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in
Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit
to the statement of profit and loss.
The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income
tax during the specified period.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax
rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint arrangements to the extent
that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable
that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future
taxable profits are determined based on business plans of the Company and the reversal of temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date
and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
they can be used. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and
their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the
purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
Provision is defined as per Ind AS 37. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Mar 31, 2024
The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial statements.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to receive in exchange for those products or services. The company recognises the revenue
as per five step model as specified in Ind AS 115. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
The revenue from the sale of software products (including IPR based licenses) is recognised on delivery/granting of right to use. In respect of service contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, revenue is recognized over time. Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on acts performed as specified in the contracts over the contract period where performance of several acts is required over that period. In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on the basis of hours completed and material used. Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are rendered/licenses is leased. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of control over the goods to the customer. Sales are recorded net of returns (if any), trade discounts, rebates, and goods and service tax. Projected losses, if any, are provided in entirety as per Ind AS based on management''s current estimates of cost to completion arrived at on the basis of technical assessment of time and effort required and estimates of future expenditure.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which are referred to as unbilled revenue). Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which are referred to as unearned revenues).
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income in respect of income tax is accounted on receipt basis.
Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and presented as other income.
i. Recognition and Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of PPE comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress".
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits with these will flow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leased assets and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Freehold Land is not depreciated. For others, depreciation has been provided on the basis of estimated useful life as follows.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The cost of intangible assets comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Company amortises intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows:
⢠Patents, copyright and other rights - 8 years
⢠Computer software - 4 to 6 years
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently investment properties comprising buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow method and other relevant factors, if any. Useful life of the investment property is considered as 58 years.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at recognition.
Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
Derecognition of financial instruments
A financial asset is derecognised by the Company only when:
⢠Contractual right to receive cash flows from the assets expires; or
⢠The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or
⢠If the Company has not retained control of the financial asset; or
⢠The Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss including cumulative gain or loss in case of financial assets subsequently valued at fair value through other comprehensive income. In case of financial assets subsequently fair valued through profit or loss, gain or loss is presented on a net basis.
In case of financial liability any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments as define in Ind AS 113, the Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs, valuation adjustments, uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks, existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes.

The Company is directly reducing the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
For the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss, the Company tests loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model and recognises, if any.
Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of the Company''s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then asset''s / cash generating unit (CGU)''s recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.
i. Short-term Obligations
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee renders those services.
ii. Other long-term employee benefit obligations Compensated Absences
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each reporting date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date and recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the year in which the absences occur.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (''the Gratuity Plan'') covering eligible employees. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised, net of tax impact, in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. The amount of net interest expense calculated by applying the liability discount rate to the net defined liability or asset is charged or credited to ''Finance Cost'' in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and it is recognised in profit or loss or in OCI. i. Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or recoverable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Interest income in respect of income tax is shown under Other Income and accounted on receipt basis. Interest expenses and penalties, if any, are included in Current Tax Expense. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset as per IND AS 12.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss.
The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans of the Company and the reversal of temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial statements. 3.1 Revenue
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on
account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
The revenue from the sale of software products (IPR based licenses) is recognised on delivery/granting of right to use. In respect of service contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized over time. Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on acts performed as specified in the contracts over the contract period where performance of several acts is required over that period. In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on the basis of hours completed and material used. Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are rendered/licenses is leased. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of control over the goods to the customer. Sales are recorded net of returns (if any), trade discounts, rebates, and goods and service tax. Projected losses, if any, are provided in entirety as per Ind AS based on management''s current estimates of cost to completion arrived at on the basis of technical assessment of time and effort required and estimates of future expenditure.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which are referred to as unbilled revenue). Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which are referred to as unearned revenues)
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established.
3.4 Investment Property Rental Income
Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and presented as other income. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
3.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
i. Recognition and Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of PPE comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress".
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of the asset. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits with these will flow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leased assets and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Freehold Land is not depreciated. For others, depreciation has been provided on the basis of estimated useful life as follows.

Assets costing up to ? 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition
iv. Reclassification to Investment Property
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified accordingly.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The cost of intangible assets comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Company amortises intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows:
⢠Patents, copyright and other rights - 8 years
⢠Computer software - 4 to 6 years
Investment property is measured at cost less impairment, if any. Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow method and other relevant factors, if any. Useful life of the investment property is considered as 58 year or lease period whichever is lower.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at recognition.

Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
Derecognition of financial instruments:
A financial asset is derecognised by the Company only when:
⢠Contractual right to receive cash flows from the assets expires; or
⢠The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or
⢠If the Company has not retained control of the financial asset; or
⢠The Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss including cumulative gain or loss in case of financial assets subsequently valued at fair value through other comprehensive income. In case of financial assets subsequently fair valued through profit or loss, gain or loss is presented on a net basis.
A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. 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 in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
i. Financial Assets:
For the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss, the Company tests loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model and recognises, if any.
Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
ii. Non-financial Assets:
The carrying amounts of the Company''s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then asset''s / cash generating unit (CGU)''s recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
3.11 Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.
i. Short-term Obligations
The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee renders those services.
ii. Other long-term employee benefit obligations Compensated Absences
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each reporting date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date and recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the year in which the absences occur.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (''the Gratuity Plan'') covering eligible employees. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised, net of tax impact, in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. The amount of net interest expense calculated by applying the liability discount rate to the net defined liability or asset is charged or credited to ''Finance Cost'' in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
iii. Share-based Payment Arrangements
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account. For employees, in respect of Employee Stock Option Scheme, remuneration is considered at the time of exercise of option at a perquisite value as defined under Income Tax Act, 1961.
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or recoverable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Interest income in respect of income tax is shown under Other Income and accounted on receipt basis. Interest expenses and penalties, if any, are included in Current Tax Expense. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle the assets and liabilities on net basis.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans of the Company and the reversal of temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
A provision is recognised 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 measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
3.17 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets (Refer Note 32)
A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Claims against the Company, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised.
Effective April 01,2019, the Company had adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" by applying the modified retrospective approach. The Company, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not lease.
Company as a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value and are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Company as a lessor
At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor''s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax attributable to equity shareholder of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax attributable to equity shareholder of the company as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
4. RECENT INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IND AS)
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), vide notification dated 31st March, 2023, has made the following amendments to Ind AS which are effective 1st April, 2023:
a) Amendments to Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements where the companies are now required to disclose material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies.
b) Amendments to Ind AS 8, Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors where the definition of ''change in account estimate'' has been replaced by revised definition of ''accounting estimate''
c) Amendments to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes where the scope of Initial Recognition Exemption (IRE) has been narrowed down.
Based on preliminary assessment, the Company does not expect these amendments to have any significant impact on its standalone financial statements.
Mar 31, 2018
1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial statements.
1.1 Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; sellerâs price to buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.
The revenue from the sale of software products (IPR based licenses) is recognised on delivery / granting of right to use.
Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on milestones/acts performed as specified in the contracts or on a straight line basis over the contract period where performance of several acts is required over that period.
In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on the basis of hours completed and material used.
Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are rendered/licenses is leased.
Revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Unbilled revenue represents value of services performed in accordance with the contract terms but not billed.
Sales are stated net of returns, goods and service tax (GST), VAT and service tax wherever applicable.
1.2 Interest Income
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
1.3 Dividends
Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established.
1.4 Investment Property Rental Income
Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and presented as other income. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
i. Recognition and Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of PPE comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits with these will flow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as âCapital work-in-progressâ
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of the asset. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss.
As per Ind AS 101, First Time Adoption of Ind AS, the Company continues to adopt the provisions of para 46 / 46A of Accounting Standard-11, âThe Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Ratesâ Accordingly, exchange differences arising on restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency borrowings as of April 01, 2015 (Date of Transition to Ind AS) relating to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leased assets and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Freehold Land is not depreciated. For others, depreciation has been provided on the basis of estimated useful life as follows.
Assets costing upto Rs. 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
iv. Reclassification to Investment Property
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified accordingly.
1.6 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The cost of intangible assets comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
The Company amortises intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows:
- Patents, copyright and other rights - 8 years
- Computer software - 4 to 6 years
1.7 Investment Property
Investment property is measured at cost less impairment, if any. Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
1.8 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at recognition.
Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
Derecognition of financial instruments:
A financial asset is derecognised by the Company only when:
- Contractual right to receive cash flows from the assets expires; or
- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or
- if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset; or
- the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss including cumulative gain or loss in case of financial assets subsequently valued at fair value through other comprehensive income. In case of financial assets subsequently fair valued through profit or loss, gain or loss is presented on a net basis.
A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
1.9 Measurement of Fair Value
Companyâs accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. 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 in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
1.10 Impairment
i. Financial Assets:
For the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss, the Company tests loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model and recognises, if any.
Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.
ii. Non-financial Assets:
The carrying amounts of the Companyâs non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then assetâs / cash generating unit (CGU)âs recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assetâs carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized
1.11 Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. The Company is continuing the policy adopted as per the previous GAAP for accounting for exchange differences arising from translation of long term foreign currency monetary items and accordingly exchange differences relating to long term monetary items are dealt with in the following manner:
i. Exchange differences arising during the year on settlement / restatement, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added to / deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets.
ii. In other cases, such differences are accumulated in a âForeign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Accountâ and amortised to the statement of profit and loss over maturity period / upto the date of settlement of such monetary item, whichever is earlier. The unamortised exchange difference is carried under Other Equity as âForeign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account (FCMITDA)â
1.12 Employee Benefits
i. Short-term Obligations
The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee renders those services.
ii. Other Long-term Employee Benefit Obligations Compensated Absences:
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date and recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the year in which the absences occur.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (âthe Gratuity Planâ) covering eligible employees. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. The amount of net interest expense calculated by applying the liability discount rate to the net defined liability or asset is charged or credited to âFinance Costâ in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
iii. Share-based Payment Arrangements
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account.
1.13. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
1.14 Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
i. Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or recoverable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Interest income in respect of income tax is shown under Other Income and Interest Expenses and Penalties, if any, are included in Current Tax Expense. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle the assets and liabilities on net basis.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date
Deferred Tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans of the Company and the reversal of temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
1.15 Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
1.16 Provisions
A provision is recognised 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 (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best 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 best estimates.
1.17 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Refer Note 31)
A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Claims against the Company, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised.
1.18 Leases
Assets taken/given on lease under which all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease payments / income under operating leases are recognised as expenses / income on a straight line basis over the lease term in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.
Leases under which the company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, such assets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.
1.19 Earning Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax attributable to equity shareholder of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax attributable to equity shareholder of the company as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.

L. Employee Benefits
a) Post-employment benefits and other long term benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement schemes and other similar funds are expensed as incurred.
For defined benefit schemes and other long term benefit plans viz. gratuity and compensated absences expected to occur after twelve months, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the statement of profit and loss for the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of the available refunds and reduction in future contributions to the scheme.
b) Short term employee benefits

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off and the Company intends to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realized. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realize the assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their reliability.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
O. Stock based compensation
The compensation cost of stock options granted to employees is measured by the intrinsic value method, i.e. difference between the market price of the Company''s shares on the date of grant of options and the exercise price to be paid by the option holders. The compensation cost, if any, is amortized uniformly over the vesting period of the options.
P. Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognized, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Q. Provisions and contingencies
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 (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best 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 best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.
R. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
S. Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current

service cost, plus the present value of the available refunds and
reduction in future contributions to the scheme.
b) Short term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised
as an expense during the period when the employee renders those
services. These benefits include compensated absences such as leave
expected to be availed within a year and performance incentives.
M. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
Ancillary borrowing costs are amortised to the statement of profit and
loss over maturity period / up to the date of settlement of loan,
whichever is earlier. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
N. Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard
22 "Accounting for Taxes on Income". Tax expense comprises current tax
and deferred tax. Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the
taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Current tax assets and
liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right
for such set off and the Company intends to settle the asset and the
liability on a net basis.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only
when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company
will pay normal income tax during the specifed period. In the year in
which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is
created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown
as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance
sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified
period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than
unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realised. However, if
there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred
tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable
income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each balance sheet date for their reliability.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company
has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
O. Stock based compensation
The compensation cost of stock options granted to employees is measured
by the intrinsic value method, i.e. difference between the market price
of the Company's shares on the date of grant of options and the
exercise price to be paid by the option holders. The compensation cost,
if any, is amortised uniformly over the vesting period of the options.
P. Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Q. Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised 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 (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best 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 best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the
financial statements.
R. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit
/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary
items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to
expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the
dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of
equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the
weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued
on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential
equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to
equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing
ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be
converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been
issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are
adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually
issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding
shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently
for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially
dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share
splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
S. Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the
normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash
or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as
12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and
liabilities as current and non-current.
(a) During the period of five years immediately preceding the reporting
date, the Company has issued :
Nil (Previous Year 194,900) Equity shares of Rs. 2/- each fully paid-up
to the employees under employee stock option ('ESOP') schemes.
(b) The outstanding GDR as on March 31, 2015 are Nil (Previous Year
185,367) and the underlying equity shares as on March 31, 2015 are Nil
(Previous Year 26,481)
(c) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares:
The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares
having a par value of Rs.2/- per share. Each holder of equity shares is
entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividend
in Indian Rupees. The dividend recommended by the Board of Directors is
subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing annual
general meeting, except in the case of interim dividend. In the event
of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be
entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution
of all preferential amounts in the proportion of equity shares held.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company had availed three
foreign currency term loans viz. external commercial borrowings
aggregating USD 110 million comprising of:
i) Loans of USD 35 million and USD 50 million which were repayable in
three annual installments (first two installments of 33.33% each and
last installment of 33.34%) starting from April 2015 and June 2015
respectively. During the previous year, the Company partly prepaid USD
9.8 million out of loan of USD 35 million and balance USD 25.2 million
is repayable in April 2017. Similarly, during the previous year, the
Company partly prepaid USD 14 million out of loan of USD 50 million and
balance USD 36 million is repayable in May 2017. These loans carried
interest at the rate of applicable quarterly LIBOR plus margin of 3.5%
p.a. which was reduced to quarterly LIBOR plus margin of 3.0% p.a.
during the previous year; and
ii) Loan of USD 25 million was repayable in nine semi-annual
installments (first eight installments of 11% each and last installment
of 12%) starting from December 2014. During the previous year, the loan
was refinanced with the same lender at reduced borrowing rate. Also the
Company prepaid USD 9.45 million during the previous year and balance
USD 15.55 million is repayable in December 2017. This loan carried
interest at the rate of applicable quarterly LIBOR plus margin of 5%
p.a. (4.8% p.a. on refinancing) which was reduced to quarterly LIBOR
plus margin of 4.3% p.a.
Mar 31, 2014
A. Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India
(Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under
Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the 1956 Act") (which
continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013 ("the 2013 Act") in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated
13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and the
relevant provisions of the 1956 Act/ 2013 Act, as applicable. The
financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the
historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the previous year.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The
Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the
financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could
differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual
results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the
results are known / materialise.
C. Fixed assets (Tangible / Intangible)
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation /
amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets
comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates,
any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently
recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable
expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other
incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to
acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the date the asset is
ready for its intended use. The Company has adopted the provisions of
para 46 / 46A of Accounting Standard-11, "The Effects of Changes in
Foreign Exchange Rates", accordingly, exchange differences arising on
restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency borrowings
relating to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets are adjusted to the
cost of the respective assets and depreciated over the remaining useful
life of such assets. Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets after its
purchase / completion is capitalised only if such expenditure results
in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its
previously assessed standard of performance.
D. Capital work-in-progress
Fixed assets which are not yet ready for their intended use are carried
at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and
attributable interest.
E. Operating leases
Assets taken/given on lease under which all the risks and rewards of
ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as
operating lease. Lease payments/income under operating leases are
recognised as expenses/income on a straight line basis over the lease
term in accordance with the respective lease agreements.
F. Depreciation and amortisation
I. (i) Depreciation has been provided on the straight-line method.
(ii) Upto 31st December, 2013, depreciation was being provided at the
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 except in
respect of the following categories of assets.
Assets Estimated useful life
Leasehold land Period of lease
Improvement to Leasehold Premises Period of lease
(iii) During the quarter ended 31st March, 2014, the Management has
revised the estimated useful life of the following categories of assets
as under.
Assets Revised useful life
Office Equipment 2 to 10 Years
Computer Hardware 3 to 6 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 to10 Years
Vehicles 8 Years
(iv) Accordingly, the unamortised depreciable amount of the aforesaid
assets as on 31st December, 2013 is being charged to revenue over the
revised remaining useful lives (also Refer Note 43).
(v) Depreciation on buildings continues to be provided at the rates
prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 and leasehold
land and improvement to leasehold premises continues to be amortised
over the period of lease.
II. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life as
follows:
Assets Estimated useful life
Patent and Trademarks 8 years
Technical know-how and computer software 6 years
G. Investments
Current investments are carried individually at the lower of cost and
fair value. Long-term investments are carried individually at cost less
provision for diminution. Provision for diminution in the value of
long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than
temporary in the opinion of the Management. Cost of investments include
acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. The difference
between carrying amount of the investment determined on average cost
basis and sale proceeds, net of expenses, is recognised as gain or loss
on sale of investments.
H. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when no significant uncertainty as to
determination and realisation exists. Income from software products
(IPR based licenses) and income from software services (project based
contracts) for the use of software applications is recognised on
delivery/granting of right to use.
Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on
milestones/acts performed as specified in the contracts or on a
straight line basis over the contract period where performance of
several acts is required over that period.
In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on
the basis of hours completed and material used.
Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT
infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is
recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are
rendered/licenses are leased.
Revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised when the significant
risks and rewards in respect of ownership of products are transferred
by the Company.
Sales are stated net of returns, VAT and service tax wherever
applicable.
I. Other income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s right to receive
dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on time
proportion basis. Insurance claim is recognised when such claim is
admitted by the Insurance Company.
J. Foreign currency transactions and translations
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely
approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are restated using the
exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange
differences relating to long term monetary items are dealt with in the
following manner:
i. Exchange differences arising during the year on settlement /
restatement, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a
depreciable capital asset are added to / deducted from the cost of the
asset and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets.
ii. In other cases, such differences are accumulated in a "Foreign
Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" and amortised to
the statement of profit and loss over maturity period / upto the date
of settlement of such monetary item, whichever is earlier. The
unamortised exchange difference is carried under Reserves and Surplus
as "Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account
(FCMITDA)"
All other exchange differences are dealt with in the statement of
profit and loss.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are carried at
historical cost.
Foreign branches :
The translation of the financial statements of foreign branches
(non-integral) is accounted for as under:
a) All revenues and expenses are translated at average rate.
b) All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated
at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
c) Resulting exchange difference is accumulated in Foreign Currency
Translation Reserve Account (FCTR) until the disposal of the net
investment in / closure of the said non-integral foreign operation, in
which case the accumulated balance in FCTR is recognised as income /
expense in the same period in which the gain or loss on disposal /
closure of branch is recognised.
K. Derivative contracts
Premium / discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not
intended for trading or speculation purposes, are amortised over the
period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as
at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences on such contracts are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company uses derivative financial contracts in the nature of
forward foreign exchange contracts entered into for hedging the risks
of foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecasted
transactions / firm commitments and interest rate swap contracts to
hedge its risks associated with fluctuations in interest rate. As per
principles of prudence as enunciated in Accounting Standard 1,
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies", losses, if any, on Mark to Market
basis, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and gains are
not recognised until realised on grounds of prudence.
L. Employee Benefits
a) Post-employment benefits and other long term benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement schemes and other similar
funds are expensed as incurred.
For defined benefit schemes and other long term benefit plans viz.
gratuity and compensated absences expected to occur after twelve
months, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the
Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried
out at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognised in full in the statement of profit and loss for the period
in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the
extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised
on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits
become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the
balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, as reduced
by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this
calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of
the available refunds and reduction in future contributions to the
scheme.
b) Short term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised
as an expense during the period when the employee renders those
services. These benefits include compensated absences such as leave
expected to be availed within a year and performance incentives.
M. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
Ancillary borrowing costs are amortised to the statement of profit and
loss over maturity period / upto the date of settlement of loan,
whichever is earlier. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
N. Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard
22 "Accounting for Taxes on Income". Tax expense comprises current tax
and deferred tax. Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the
taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Current tax assets and
liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right
for such set off and the Company intends to settle the asset and the
liability on a net basis.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only
when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company
will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in
which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is
created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and
shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each
balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified
period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than
unabosrbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realised. However, if
there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred
tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable
income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each balance sheet date for their realisability.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company
has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
O. Stock based compensation
The compensation cost of stock options granted to employees is measured
by the intrinsic value method, i.e. difference between the market price
of the Company''s shares on the date of grant of options and the
exercise price to be paid by the option holders. The compensation cost,
if any, is amortised uniformly over the vesting period of the options.
P. Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Q. Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised 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 (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best 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 best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the
financial statements.
R. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit
/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary
items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to
expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the
dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of
equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the
weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued
on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential
equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to
equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing
ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be
converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been
issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are
adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually
issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding
shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently
for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially
dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share
splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
S. Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the
normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash
or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as
12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and
liabilities as current and non-current.
Mar 31, 2013
A. Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles in India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be
made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between actual
results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results
are known/materialise.
C. Fixed assets (tangible assets)
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction and
carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if
any.
D. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that the future
economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the
enterprise and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on an intangible item is expensed when incurred unless it
forms part of the cost of intangible asset that meets the recognition
criteria. Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition and are
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss, if
any.
E. Operating leases
Assets taken/given on lease under which all the risks and rewards of
ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as
operating lease. Lease payments/income under operating leases are
recognised as expenses/income on a straight line basis over the lease
term in accordance with the respective lease agreements.
F. Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation is provided for on straight line basis at
the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 except
for following assets which are depreciated over the useful lives stated
as follows:
G. Investments
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value.
Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution.
Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made
only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the
management. The difference between carrying amount of the investment
determined on average cost basis and sale proceeds, net of expenses, is
recognised as profit or loss on sale of investments.
H. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when no significant uncertainty as to
determination and realisation exists. Income from software products
(IPR based licenses) and income from software services (project based
contracts) for the use of software applications is recognised on
delivery/granting of right to use.
Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on
milestones/acts performed as specified in the contracts or on a
straight line basis over the contract period where performance of
several acts is required over that period.
In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on
the basis of hours completed and material used.
Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT
infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is
recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are
rendered/licenses are leased.
Revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised when the significant
risks and rewards in respect of ownership of products are transferred
by the Company.
Sales are stated net of returns, VAT and service tax wherever
applicable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s right to receive
dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on time
proportion basis. Insurance claim is recognised when such claim is
admitted by the Insurance Company.
I. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are restated using the
exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange
differences relating to long term monetary items are dealt with in the
following manner:
(i) Exchange differences arising during the year, in so far as they
relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added
to/deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciated over the balance
life of the asset.
(ii) In other cases, such differences are accumulated in a "Foreign
Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" and amortised to
the statement of profit and loss over the balance life of the long-term
monetary item.
All other exchange differences are dealt with in the statement of
profit and loss.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are carried at
historical cost.
Foreign branches:
The translation of the financial statements of foreign branches (non
integral) is accounted for as under:
(a) All revenues and expenses are translated at average rate.
(b) All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated
at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
(c) Resulting exchange difference is accumulated in Foreign Currency
Translation Reserve Account until the disposal of the net investment in
the said non integral foreign operation.
J. Derivative instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward
foreign exchange contracts entered into for hedging the risks of
foreign currency exposure (in respect of highly probable forecasted
transactions/firm commitments) and interest rate swaps to hedge its
risks associated with fluctuations in interest rate. As per principles
of prudence as enunciated in Accounting Standard 1 (AS-1), "Disclosure
of Accounting Policies", losses, if any, on Mark to Market basis, are
recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss and gains are not
recognised on prudent basis.
K. Employee Benefits
(a) Post employment benefits and other long term benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement schemes and other similar
funds are expensed as incurred.
For defined benefit schemes and other long term benefit plans viz.
gratuity and compensated absences expected to occur after twelve
months, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the
Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried
out at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognised in full in the statement of profit and loss for the period
in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the
extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised
on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits
become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the
balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, as reduced
by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this
calculation is limited to the present value of the available refunds
and reduction in contributions to the scheme.
(b) Short term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised
as an expense during the period when the employee renders those
services. These benefits include compensated absences such as leave
expected to be availed within a year and performance incentives.
L. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
Premium relating to redemption of zero coupon convertible bonds is
debited to Securities Premium Account as permitted under section 78 of
the Companies Act, 1956. Ancillary borrowing costs are amortised over
the period of loan. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
M. Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard
(AS-22) "Accounting for Taxes on Income". Tax expense comprises current
tax and deferred tax. Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the
taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the
provisions of Income-Tax Act, 1961. The Company recognises deferred tax
(subject to consideration of prudence) based on the tax effect of
timing differences, being differences between taxable income and
accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of
reversal in one or more subsequent periods. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss using the tax rates and tax laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are not recognised on unabsorbed depreciation and
carry forward of losses unless there is virtual certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only
when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the entity
will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in
which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is
created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and
shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each
balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
effect that entity will pay normal income tax during the specified
period.
N. Stock based compensation
The compensation cost of stock options granted to employees is measured
by the intrinsic value method, i.e. difference between the market price
of the Company''s shares on the date of grant of options and the
exercise price to be paid by the option holders. The compensation cost,
if any, is amortised uniformly over the vesting period of the options.
O. Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the assets. If
such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the Balance Sheet
date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment
loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the
asset is reflected at lower of the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised and recoverable
amount.
P. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement
are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past
events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed by way of notes
to the accounts. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor
disclosed in the financial statements.

A. Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles in India and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be
made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between actual
results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results
are known / materialise.
C. Fixed assets (tangible assets)
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction and
carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if
any.
D. Intangible assets
ntangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that the future
economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the
enterprise and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on an intangible item is expensed when incurred unless it
forms part of the cost of intangible asset that meets the recognition
criteria. Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition and are
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss, if
any.
E. Operating leases
Assets taken / given on lease under which all the risks and rewards of
ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as
operating lease. Lease payments / income under operating leases are
recognised as expenses / income on a straight line basis over the lease
term in accordance with the respective lease agreements.
G. Investments
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value.
Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution.
Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made
only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the
management. The difference between carrying amount of the investment
determined on average cost basis and sale proceeds, net of expenses, is
recognised as profit or loss on sale of investments.
H. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when no significant uncertainty as to
determination and realisation exists. Sales include sale of products
(IPR based licenses), services (project based contracts) and traded
goods.
Revenue from sale of licenses for the use of software applications is
recognised on delivery / granting of right to use.
Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on
milestones / acts performed as specified in the contracts or on a
straight line basis over the contract period where performance of
several acts is required over that period.
In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on
the basis of hours completed and material used.
Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT
infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is
recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are
rendered / licenses are leased.
Revenue from sale of traded goods is recognised when the significant
risks and rewards in respect of ownership of products are transferred
by the Company.
Sales are stated net of returns, VAT and service tax wherever
applicable.
Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive
dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on time
proportion basis. Insurance claim is recognised when such claim is
admitted by the Insurance Company.
I. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are restated using the
exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange
differences relating to long term monetary items are dealt with in the
following manner:
i. Exchange differences arising during the year, in so far as they
relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added to /
deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciated over the balance
life of the asset.
ii. In other cases, such differences are accumulated in a "Foreign
Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" and amortised to
the statement of profit and loss over the balance life of the long-term
monetary item (until previous year, the period of amortisation beyond
31SI March, 2011 was not permitted) (Refer Note 31 below).
All other exchange differences are dealt with in the statement of
profit and loss.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are carried at
historical cost.
Foreign branches:
The translation of the financial statements of foreign branches (non
integral) is accounted for as under:
a) All revenues and expenses are translated at average rate.
b) All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated
at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
c) Resulting exchange difference is accumulated in Foreign Currency
Translation Reserve Account until the disposal of the net investment in
the said non integral foreign operation.
J. Derivative instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward
foreign exchange contracts entered into for hedging the risks of
foreign currency exposure (in respect of highly probable forecasted
transactions / firm commitments) and interest rate swaps to hedge its
risks associated with fluctuations in interest rate. As per principles
of prudence as enunciated in Accounting Standard 1 (AS-1), "Disclosure
of Accounting Policies", losses, if any, on Mark to Market basis, are
recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss and gains are not
recognised on prudent basis.
K. Employee Benefits
a) Post employment benefits and other long term benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement schemes and other similar
funds are expensed as incurred.
For defined benefit schemes and other long term benefit plans viz.
gratuity and compensated absences expected to occur after twelve
months, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the
Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried
out at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognised in full in the statement of profit and loss for the period
in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the
extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised
on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits
become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the
balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, as reduced
by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this
calculation is limited to the present value of the available refunds
and reduction in contributions to the scheme.
b) Short term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised
as an expense during the period when the employee renders those
services. These benefits include compensated absences such as leave
expected to be availed within a year and performance incentives.
L Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
Premium relating to redemption of zero coupon convertible bonds is
debited to Securities Premium Account as permitted under section 78 of
the Companies Act, 1956. Ancillary borrowing costs are amortised over
the period of loan. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
M. Income taxes
ncome taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard
(AS-22) "Accounting for Taxes on Income". Tax expense comprises current
tax and deferred tax. Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the
taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the
provisions of Income-Tax Act, 1961. The Company recognises deferred tax
(subject to consideration of prudence) based on the tax effect of
timing differences, being differences between taxable income and
accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of
reversal in one or more subsequent periods. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss using the tax rates and tax laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are not recognised on unabsorbed depreciation and
carry forward of losses unless there is virtual certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only
when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the entity
will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in
which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is
created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and
shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each
balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
effect that entity will pay normal income tax during the specified
period.
N. Stock based compensation
The compensation cost of stock options granted to employees is measured
by the intrinsic value method, i.e. difference between the market price
of the Company's shares on the date of grant of options and the

cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the Balance Sheet
date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment
loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the
asset is reflected at lower of the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised or recoverable
amount.
P. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement
are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past
events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.
