that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the
current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Other Information
5. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether
the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to
be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
6. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under
section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the
Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application
of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
7. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
43
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directors are also
responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
8. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
10. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
11. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
12. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit
of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Annexure A to Independent Auditors’ Report
Referred to in paragraph 14(f) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date to the members of Honda Siel Power Products
Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Honda Siel Power Products Limited (“the Company”)
as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over
financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance
Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These
responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively
for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets,
the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of
reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the
“Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an
audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and
the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference
to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included
obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s
internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
6. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made
only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of
any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements
and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in
the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

2. Significant accounting policies
i) Basis of preparation of financial statements
(i) Compliance with Indian Accounting Standards
The financial statements comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified Under Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value; and
(a) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the company’s normal operating cycle;
(d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) it is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle;
d) the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms
of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
iii) Property, plant and equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition or construction
less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises
its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to
its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged
52
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of each asset as
determined by the management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the period is proportionately charged.
The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.
Pursuant to Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) being effective from 1 April 2014, the Company has aligned the depreciation rates based on
the useful lives as specified in Part ‘C’ of Schedule II to the Act, except for the following assets, which are being depreciated based on the
management’s estimate of the useful life of property, plant and equipment. Such useful lives are lower than the lives as per Schedule II of the
Act:
# For these class of assets, based on internal technical evaluation, the management believes useful lives as given above best represent the
period over which company expects to use these assets.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of lease i.e. 90 years.
The assets useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount.
Losses arising from retirement or gains or losses arising from disposal of assets are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying
amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss within other income.
iv) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its
cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.
Amortisation methods and periods
Intangible assets are amortised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for
use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Accordingly, at present, these are being amortised on
straight line basis.
Intangible assets comprise technical knowhow - model fee, technical knowhow - others and computer software.
The amortization rates are as follows:
Amortisation method and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. If the useful life of an asset is estimated to be significantly different
from previous estimates, the amortisation period is changed accordingly. If there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of
economic benefits from the asset, the amortisation method is changed to reflect the changed pattern.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and disposal.
v) Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if there is indication of any impairment.
If any indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount
is estimated at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Impairment losses are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. An impairment loss are reviewed for possible reversal at the end of each reporting period. 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 recognised.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
vi) Inventories
Inventories which comprise raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, stock-in-trade, stores and spares, and loose tools are carried at
the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition.
In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, fixed production
overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
Goods in transit are valued at purchase cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
The proportionate amount of additional duty of customs paid on finished goods imported for trading and lying unsold as at the year-end has
been included in the value of the finished goods stock.
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products. Raw materials and
other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have
declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
vii) Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits.
These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits to be paid in
exchange for employee services is recognised as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees.
Post-employment benefits
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) defined contribution plans such as superannuation fund; and
54
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
contributions along with interest thereon are paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment. The interest rate payable
by the trust to the beneficiaries every year is notified by the appropriate authorities. The Company has an obligation to make good the
shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.
The annual contributions paid by the Company to the provident fund are charged off to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In addition
the Company provides for the interest shortfall, if any and is determined annually based on an independent actuarial valuation report.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited in
other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations - Compensated Absences
The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive
cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the
end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after
the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated
absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of
independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the appropriate market yields at the
end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement
for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
viii) Revenue recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Sale of goods
The Company manufactures and sells a range of power products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being
when the products are delivered to the customers. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of
obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted these standard products in accordance
with the sales contract, or the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance
have been satisfied.
The timing of transfers of control varies depending on the terms of sale. For sale of goods to domestic customers, such transfer occurs when
the products are delivered to dealers and for export sales when delivered to a carrier at the port of the seller.
Receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the
passage of time is required before the payment is due.
Measurement of revenue: Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed, as revenue
are exclusive goods and services tax (GST) and inclusive amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A refund liability (sales incentive payable)
is recognized for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period.
The Company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives (sales incentive) to customers as a reduction of revenue. The discounts/
incentives are assessed based on its estimate of the customer’s anticipated annual purchases. The Company recognises changes in the
estimated amount of obligations for discounts/incentives in the period in which the change occurs. The discounts/incentives are passed on
to the customer as a reduction of payments due from the customer, on actual basis.
The Company’s obligation to repair or replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision, see note 14.
A contract liability is recognised on account of unsettled advances received from /due to customers.
Sale of services
Timing of recognition: Revenue from services is recognised under the proportionate completion method provided the consideration is
reliably determinable and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the collection of the consideration. The stage of completion is assessed
based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided (percentage of
completion method).
Measurement of revenue: The amount recognised as revenue is exclusive of GST and is net of returns, trade discounts and volume
rebates.
Sale of goods – service coupons (deferred revenue)
Timing of recognition: In arrangements for sale of goods, the Company provides after-sales service coupons to the end customers which
entitle them to avail free of cost maintenance services. When two or more revenue generating activities or deliverables are provided under
a single arrangement, each deliverable that is considered to be a separate unit of account is accounted for separately. The arrangements
generally meet the criteria for considering sale of goods and related services as separately identifiable components. Revenue related to the
service coupons is deferred and recognised when the coupons are redeemed or expired whichever is earlier.
Measurement of revenue: The amount of service coupon revenue is based on the number of coupons redeemed or expired relative to the
total number of coupons expected to be redeemed or expired.
A contract liability is recognised on account of unexpired service coupons.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the
customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for
the time value of money.
Other income
Interest income 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.
55
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
Export benefits under various schemes notified by the government are recognized on accrual basis when no significant uncertainties as to
the amount of consideration that would be derived and as to its ultimate collection exist.
ix) Financial assets
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows
to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset,
56
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the
financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
x) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to
offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The
legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event
of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
xi) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid.
Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are
recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
xii) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables
are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing component, when they
are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore
measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
xiii) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is the Company’s functional
and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for
the year on a net basis.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated into the functional currency
at the closing exchange rates on that date. The resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net
basis.
xiv) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as interest expense.
Warranty costs
Warranty costs are estimated on the basis of a technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect
of warranty costs in the year of sale of goods.
xv) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require
an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions,
but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the
financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will
arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
xvi) Income Taxes
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income
tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax
losses, if any.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period in
India where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis
of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or
the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the
57
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
xvii) Leases
As a lessee
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the
present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings or
other financial liabilities as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged
to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for
each period.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on
a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to
compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.
xviii) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
xix) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Chief
Executive Officer has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker assess the financial performance and position of the
Company and make strategic decisions. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of “manufacturing and marketing of portable
gensets, water pumps, general purpose engines, lawn mower’s, brush cutters and tillers”. However, in the context of Indian Accounting
Standard 108 – Operating Segments, these are considered to constitute single reportable segment.
xx) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and the weighted average
number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares, except
where the results would be anti-dilutive.
xxi) Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
xxii) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on
or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
xxiii) Royalty
The Company pays / accrues for royalty in accordance with the relevant licence agreement.
xxiv) Rounding of amounts
All amounts in Indian Rupees disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereof have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the
requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
3. Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results.
Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely
to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information
about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each
affected line item in the financial statements.
Critical estimates and judgements
The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
- Estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset – The annual depreciation and amortisation charge is
sensitive to the estimated lives allocated to each type of asset. Assets lives are assessed annually and changed where necessary to
reflect current circumstances in light of technological change and physical conditions of the assets concerned.
- Revenue recognition - In revenue arrangements where more than one good or service is provided to the customer, customer
consideration is allocated between the goods and services using fair value principles. The fair values determined for deliverables may
impact the timing of the recognition of revenue. The Company generally determines the fair value of individual elements based on a
cost plus a reasonable margin. Revision to the estimates of these fair values may significantly affect the allocation of total arrangement
consideration among the individual elements.
- Estimation of defined benefit obligation – Note 25
- Estimation of provision for warranty claims – Note 14
58
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
- Estimation of provision for inventory obsolescence – Note 9
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4. Recent accounting pronouncements:
(a) IND AS 116 Leases:
On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 116, Leases. Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases Standard, Ind AS
17 Leases and related Interpretations. The standards sets out the principles for the recognition measurement, presentation and disclosure of
leases for both parties to a contact i.e. the lessee and lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee
to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, requirement for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially
carries forward the lessor accounting requirement in Ind AS 17.
The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 116 is annual period beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The standard permits two possible methods
of transition:
Full retrospective- Retrospectively to each prior presented applying Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors.
Modified retrospective – Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard recognized at the date of initial application.
Under modified retrospective approach, the lessee records the lease liability as the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted
at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset either as:
Its carrying amount as if the standard has been applied since the commencement date but discounted at lessee’s incremental borrowing rate
at the date of initial application or
An amount equal to lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease recognized under
Ind AS 17 immediately before the date of initial application.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the financial statements which is not expected to be material.
(b) Ind AS 12 Appendix C, uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments:
On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 12 Appendix C, uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which is to be
applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when
there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind As 12. According to the appendix, companies need to determine the probability of
the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of tax treatment when determining taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused
tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.
The standard permits two possible methods of transition –
i) Full retrospective approach – Under this approach, Appendix C will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented
in accordance with Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, without using hindsight and
ii) Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying Appendix C recognized by adjusting equity on initial application, without
adjusting comparatives.
The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 12 Appendix C is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this pronouncement on the financial statements which is not expected to be
material.
(c) Amendments to Ind AS 12 Income taxes regarding recognition of deferred tax assets on unrealised losses
The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred taxes where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset’s
tax base.
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this pronouncement on the financial statements which is not expected to be
material.
(d) Amendment to Ind AS 19 – plan amendment, curtailment or settlement-
On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to Ind AS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’, in connection with accounting for
plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity:
• To use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment,
curtailment or settlement; and
• To recognize in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus
did not previously recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling.
Effective date for application of this amendment is annual period beginning on or after April 1, 2019.The Company is in the process of
assessing the impact of this pronouncement on the financial statements which is not expected to be material.

* Effective April 1, 2018, the Company has adopted Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective
approach, which is applied to contracts outstanding as of April 01, 2018. Accordingly, the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted.
Refer Note 2 (viii) “Significant Accounting Policies,” for details. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant.
* Till 30 June 2017, Revenue from operations included the applicable excise duty which was also shown as operating expense. Post the
applicability of Goods and Services Tax (GST) with effect from 1 July 2017, revenue from operations is disclosed net of GST. Accordingly,
the revenue from operations and other expenses for the year ended on 31st March, 2019 are not comparable with the corresponding period
presented in the financial statements.

(v) Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the principal assumptions is:
(i) Changes in defined benefit obligation of Gratuity plan due to change in discount rate
March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018
a) Defined benefit obligation 1,634 1,439
b) Impact on defined benefit obligation at 0.5% increase in discount rate (64) (56)
c) Impact on defined benefit obligation at 0.5% decrease in discount rate 70 61
(ii) Changes in defined benefit obligation of Gratuity plan due to change in salary growth rate
March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018
a) Defined benefit obligation 1,634 1,439
b) Impact on defined benefit obligation at 0.5% increase in salary growth rate 69 60
c) Impact on defined benefit obligation at 0.5% decrease in salary growth rate (65) (56)
(iii) Changes in defined benefit obligation of Provident Fund plan due to change in discount rate
March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018
a) Defined benefit obligation 5,553 4,791
b) Impact on defined benefit obligation at 0.5% increase in discount rate (1) (1)
c) Impact on defined benefit obligation at 0.5% decrease in discount rate 1 1
(iv) Changes in defined benefit obligation of Gratuity plan due to changes in mortality rate, is negligible.
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is
unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation
to significant actuarial assumption the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit
method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

(iv) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The following summarises the financial instruments at fair value and classification of financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under
the Accounting Standards:
There are no financial assets and financial liabilities in a category measured at fair value-recurring fair value measurements.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, employee benefits payables, interest
accrued, unpaid dividends, capital creditors, deferred service revenue and security deposits received are considered to be the same as their fair
values, due to their short-term nature.
The fair values for security deposits given and long - term deposits with banks with remaining maturity period more than 12 months were calculated
based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. Security deposits is classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to
the inclusion of unobservable inputs, including counterparty credit risk and long term deposits with banks with remaining maturity period more than
12 months is classified as level 2 for values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of observable inputs including current market lending
rate. The carrying amount is considered to approximate the same to fair value as at the reporting date.
Note 27: Financial risk management
The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on
the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. This note
explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages such risk.
Risk Exposure arising from Measurement Management
Credit risk Cash and cash equivalents, trade Ageing analysis Diversification of bank deposits, credit
receivables, financial assets limits, letter of credit and periodic
measured at amortised cost monitoring of realisable value
Liquidity risk Other liabilities Rolling cash flow forecasts Availability of sufficient internally
generated operating cash flows
Market risk - foreign exchange Recognised financial assets and Cash flow forecasting Cash flow forecasting
liabilities not denominated in Indian Sensitivity analysis
rupee (INR)
The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s risk management policies are established to
identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk
management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets carried at amortised cost and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures
to customers, including outstanding receivables.
(i) Credit risk management
Trade receivables and other financial assets
A default is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 30 days of when they fall due in case of trade receivables and for
other financial assets as prescribed by relevant terms of the contract. This definition of default is determined considering the business environment
in which the Company operates and other macro-economic factors. Assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery,
such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where financial assets have been written
off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company extends credit to the customers considering factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealing with the Company for
extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. The Company’s third party export customers
are secured through letter of credit and majority of the Company’s export trade receivables are outstanding but not due with its related entities,
which mitigates the risk to an extent.
Cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank
deposits accounts in different banks across the Country.
Loan to a fellow subsidiary
This loan is considered to be at low credit risk. Management considers the loan to be low credit risk when it has a low risk of default and the
borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. The loan is with the Company’s related entity which
is repayable on demand of the Company which mitigates the risk to an extent.
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
(a) Financial assets for which loss allowance is measured using 12 month expected credit losses
The 12-month expected credit loss is a portion of the lifetime expected credit losses which results from default events that are possible within
12 months after the reporting date. At initial recognition, financial assets are considered as having negligible credit risk. The Company monitors
whether there is any significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
74
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019
(All amounts in INR lakhs, unless otherwise stated)
(b) Financial assets for which loss allowance is measured using life time expected credit losses
Lifetime expected credit loss are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are 6 months past due date are still collectible in full. The Company considers
the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis
throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default
occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and
supportive forwarding-looking information. Considering the above factors the trade receivables continue to have a negligible credit risk on initial
recognition and thereafter on each reporting date.
Significant estimates and judgments
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The
Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company past
history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled
by delivering cash. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they
are due.
The Company aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents and other highly marketable debt investments at an amount in excess
of expected cash outflows on financial liabilities.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all financial
liabilities:
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as
the impact of discounting is not significant.

respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.
(iii) The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
(iv) During the year, the Company has received a show cause notice dated May 30, 2018 from Regional Commissioner - Noida under section 7A
of the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 challenging the salary structure used for determining the liability
under the act in case of International workers. Presently the proceedings subsequent to the notice are in data collection stage and no demand
has been raised on the Company.
The Company has filed a writ petition against the show cause notice and proceedings thereto, in Allahabad High court, wherein the Hon’able
High court in their order dated April 30, 2019 directed that any final order passed by the Provident Fund authorities will be subject to the
disposal of the present writ petition.
Based on the opinion obtained from external legal expert’s, the management has assessed that the Company has a good case in the said
matter.
(v) The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the recent Supreme Court Judgment in case of “Vivekananda Vidyamandir And

Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain
allowances from the definition of “basic wages” of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund
under the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the assessment of the management which is supported by
legal advice, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have a significant impact and accordingly, no provision has been made in these Financial
Statements.
