SIGNET INDUSTRIES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18
CHAIRMAN MESSAGE
Dear Stakeholders,
It gives me great pleasure to share with you an update on the overall performance of the
Company in 2017-18. Your company, Signet Industries Limited, has had another year of growth
in the key focus area of manufacturing. GST was a path-breaking tax reform by the Central
Government, which was implemented during the financial year and as expected resulted in a
roller coaster ride for the economy. However, GST is favourable for organised players like
ourselves, offering a level playing field. At Signet we were quick to absorb this tectonic shift and
grew at a faster pace in our manufacturing segment.
With our belief of “Jal hai to kal hai”, we are committed to continued innovation, expanding the
product range, and smart increase in production capacities with efficient capital outlay to benefit
to our society. Signet has added focus in water transportation business and successfully achieved
growth of 250% in the large-diameter and high-pressure pipeline &fittings business. The
opportunity size in this business suggests an exponential growth which would primarily be
fuelled by Government’s initiative of Smart city projects, conversion of traditionally laid metal/ cement pipe-lines and
Amrut Yojna Projects. In a short time, Signet has emerged as one of the major suppliers of pipelines for these Government
initiatives. Your company’s infrastructure has been applauded by its marquee customers and they have approved Signet as
their prime supplier.
In Micro-irrigation, we thank the Government of India for proactively reducing GST from 18% to 12%. Signet has expanded
its area of focus by deepening its roots in various states of operation. Company has been meticulous to choose to grow in
certain Mirco-Irrigation focused geographical areas and has found success. The Company has posted a growth of over 12%
in the segment and proudly maintains its position as one of the key contributors to the industry. Signet has not just been a
manufacturer of the systems but has moved up the value chain to emerge as a “complete solution provider” to our farmers.
The Company will continue to work towards growth in this area.
Infrastructure spend is a catalyst for any economy and India is no different, with record outlay for this segment in the recent
Union Budgets. Another focus area for the Government is Agriculture, which contributes to 14% weightage to India’s GDP
and provides employment to over 50 percent of the population. The Government’s commitment to double farmers’ income
can be achieved by improving efficiencies at the farm level in which Irrigation is an important constituent. Thus Signet’s
strategy has been to Focus on the two ‘I’s - Irrigation & Infrastructure which will provide us limitless opportunities. The
Company has launched several new products this year in “building-products” segment. These products have been well
accepted by the real-estate developers and trade markets. Your team at Signet has been passionately developing new products
after understanding the specific needs of the Indian consumer. At Signet, our team has it’s “ears to the ground” ensuring that
we stand out among competition.
Quick & Excellent implementation of our decisions at manufacturing has started showing results in the last quarter. Overall,
the company has clocked a growth at manufacturing by 12% and a total revenue for all segments put together at Rs911.53 Cr.
The profit of the company has also shown growth of 10.86%
As I look at the years to come by, I see immense opportunities for growth at Signet. Our team’s excellent commitment is
reflected in the growth of Signet’s manufacturing business and I am excited to see these efforts getting converted into value
creation for all the stakeholders.
On this note, let me take this opportunity to thank our management team, our dedicated employees, suppliers, customers,
partners and shareholders for their unabated support and faith in the company. Your support, through thick and thin, has been
a great source of strength for us.
We look forward to your continued support in the coming years.
Yours Sincerely
Mukesh Sangla
Chairman & Managing Director

Notes forming an integral part to Financial Statements for the year ended on 31st March 2018
Note 43: First time adoption of Ind AS
First Ind AS financial statements
These are the Company’s first separate financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS applicable as at 31 March
2018.
The accounting policies set out in note B have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 and in
the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet as at 1 April 2016 (the date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind
AS balance sheet, the Company has restated the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in
accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2014 and other
relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP) so as to comply in all material respects with Ind AS.
An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position,
financial performance and cash flows is as follows:
First-time adoption
Following are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and exceptions to retrospective application of Ind AS
applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
I) Optional exemptions
a) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Ind AS 101 permits to measure all its property, plant & equipments at their previous GAAP carrying value i.e. being
deemed cost represented by Gross Block reduced by accumulated depreciation on April 01, 2016.
II) Exceptions to retrospective application of Ind AS
a) Estimates
An entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made
for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies),
unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.
Ind AS estimates as at 1st April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous
GAAP except where Ind AS required a different basis for estimates as compared to the previous GAAP.
De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for
transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter
to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity’s choosing,
provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial Liabilities derecognised
as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.
The company has applied the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to
Ind AS.
D) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial instrument meet the condition of Ind
AS 109 on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.
43.1 Transition to Ind AS - Reconciliations
The following reconciliations provide a quantification of the effect of significant differences arising from the transition
from previous GAAP to Ind AS in accordance with Ind AS 101:
I. Reconciliation of Balance sheet as at July 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016
II. Reconciliation of Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2016 III. Reconciliation of Equity as at July
1, 2015 and March 31, 2016
The presentation requirements under Previous GAAP differs from Ind AS and hence Previous GAAP information has
been regrouped for ease of reconciliation with Ind AS. The Regrouped Previous GAAP information is derived from the
Financial Statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Previous GAAP.

1 The Company measures recovery of debtors on Expected Credit Loss Model.The unwinding of discount on account of
above upto the date of transition is also recognised in retained earnings. Subsequent unwinding is recognised in statement
of profit and loss account.
2 Under previous GAAP, investment in equity instruments were classified into long term and current investments. Long
term investments were carried at cost less provision other than temporary in nature. Current investments were carried at
lower of cost or fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are require to be measured at fair value either through OCI
(FVTOCI) or through Profit & loss (FVTPL). The company has opted to fair value these investments through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI). Accordingly, resulting fair value change of these investments have been recognised in
Other Equity under Equity Instruments through other comprehensive income as at the date of transition and subsequently
in the statement of profit & loss in other comprehensive income for the year.
3 The company has issued two class of preference shares bearing 2% and 5% coupon rate.For compound financial
instruments that have both equity as well as liability component, Ind AS 32 requires splitting the two components and
separately recognizing ‘equity component of compound financial instrument’. Such equity component is required to be
presented as a part of ‘Other Equity’ under this head. On the other hand, the ‘liability component of compound financial
instrument’ is required to be presented as a part of ‘Borrowings’, accordingly disclosure is given.
4 Ind AS 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards borrowings to be deducted from the transaction value on initial
recognition. These cost are recognised in profit & loss over the tenure of borrowings as a part of the interest expense by
applying effective interest rate method.
5 Under the previous GAAP, dividend proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval
of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend including
dividend distribution tax was recognised as liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is
approved by the shareholders in the general meeting.Accordingly liability for proposed dividend as at 1st April,2016
included under provisions as per previous GAAP have been reversed with corrosponding adjustments to retained
earnings.Consequently total equity increased by the amount of proposed dividend and related dividend distribution tax.
6 Deferred Tax have been recognized on adjustments made on transition to IND AS on 1st April,2016 to retained earnings.
7 Under Previous GAAP, the cost relating to post employment defined benefit obligation including acturial gain/losses were
recognised in profit and loss. Under the Ind AS, actuarial gain/losses on the net defined liability are recognised in the
comprehensive income instead of profit and loss
8 Under previous GAAP, the Company accounted for revenue net of trade discounts, sales taxes and excise duties. Under Ind
AS, the Company will recognise revenue at fair value of consideration received or receivable. Any sales incentive, cash
discounts or rebates in any form given to customers will be considered as reductions from revenue.

of the reporting period and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant
throughout the reporting period in case of term loans that have floating rates. If the interest rates had been 1% higher or
lower and all the other variables were held constant, the effect on Interest expense for the respective financial years and
consequent effect on companies profit in that financial year would have been as below :

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if required.
xi. Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount
expected to be paid if the company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past
service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary
differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting
profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability
is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely
to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT

future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the
same taxable entity.

rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the
exchange rate at the reporting date. Difference arising on settlement of monetary items are generally recognised in
statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated. 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. Exchange difference arising out of these transactions are generally
recognised in statement of profit and loss.

Name of SegmentComprised of
xx. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can
be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and
there is reliable estimate of the amount of obligation.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of
which will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the company or a present obligation that arise from past events where it is not probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount can not be made.
xxi. Lease
A lease is classified at the inception date as finance lease or an operating lease. 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 lease, whichever is lower.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the statement of
profit and loss.
Other leases are treated as operating leases, with payments are recognized as expense in the statement of profit and loss on
a straight line basis over the lease term.
xxii. Impairment of Non Financial Assets
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a non-financial asset or a group
of non-financial assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the amount of impairment loss.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets is considered as cash
generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the individual asset/cash generating
unit is made.
88
SIGNET INDUSTRIES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18
An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and recoverable amount. Losses are
recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the company considers that there are no realistic
prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently
decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
xxiii. Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency foreign
exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.
a. Financial assets
Classification
The Company shall classify financial assets and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial
assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the
financial asset, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss. Purchases or sales of financial
assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place
(regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Measured at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or
costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the statement of profit and
loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies
to trade and other receivables.
Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
A financial asset ismeasured at FVOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial
assets, and
b) The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Financial assets included within the FVOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value.
Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the company recognizes
interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss. On derecognition
of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to profit and loss. Interest
earned whilst holding FVOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
Financial Asset at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
FVTPL is a residual category for financial asset. Any financial asset, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as
at amortized cost or as FVOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the group company may elect to classify a financial asset, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVOCI
criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or
recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’).
Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the profit
and loss.

Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial assets) is
primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the company’s balance sheet) when:
i. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
ii. The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the
company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the company has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
iii. When the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the company’s continuing involvement. In that case,
the company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a
basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the company has retained.
iv. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the company could be required to
repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition
of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, and
bank balance.
b) Trade receivables.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
i. Trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
ii. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether
there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly,
12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase
in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month
ECL.
b. Financial liabilities
Classification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently
measured at fair value.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.
The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts,
financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for
trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative
financial instruments entered into by the group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as
90
SIGNET INDUSTRIES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18
defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated
as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date
of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/
losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/loss are not subsequently transferred to
P&L. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such
liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR
amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in
the statement of profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments
The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward
commodity contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Such
derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is
positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Measurement of fair values
The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for financial
instruments.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The management
regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker
quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the management assesses the evidence obtained from the
third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair
value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair
values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as
follows.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then
the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input
that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during
which the change has occurred.

Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Ind AS 115 was issued in February 2015 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts
with customers. Under Ind AS 115 revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new revenue standard will
supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. This standard will come into force from accounting
period commencing on or after 1st April 2018. The company will adopt the new standard on the required effective date.
During the current year, the company performed a preliminary assessment of Ind AS 115
Amendments to Ind AS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against
which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments
provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable
profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.
Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the
change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in
another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other
components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact.

consideration in a foreign currency.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018.
