6. In case company has failed to spend the 2% of the average net profit of the last three financial
years or any part thereof, the company shall provide the reasons for not spending the amount in
its Board Report.

An amount of Rs 19.88 crore has been utilised towards CSR programmes in FY 2019-2020 against budgeted amount of
Rs 20.14 crore, which amounts to 1.97% of the average net profit in last three financial years. Due to suspension of a few
projects in last fortnight of March 2020 due to COVID-19, there was a slight shortfall of Rs 26 lakhs in utilisation by few
implementing agencies despite funds being released to them.

Also, since the span of execution of activities under many CSR programmes are spread over the financial year, many
implementing partners tend to utilize the funds in the next financial year. Therefore, funds for few programmes initiated
in FY 2019-20 would be released and utilized in FY 2020-21 as well.

7. CSR Committee Responsibility Statement

The CSR Committee confirms that the implementation and monitoring of the CSR activities of the Company are in
compliance with the CSR objectives and CSR Policy of the Company.

1. Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt:

(a) Demand raised by Excise authorities

The Company had received a show cause notice dated 5 June 2012 from the Directorate General of Central Excise
Intelligence for not paying excise duty on the facility discount paid to Delhi Transport Corporation from December
2008 to August 2010 and raised a demand of H 2.42 crores (previous year H 2.42 crores) which the Company duly
deposited and, however, filed an appeal on 20 August 2013 with the Commissioner of Central Excise. The demand
was confirmed by the Commissioner of Excise in its order dated 30 September 2013 and a penalty of H 2.42 crores
(excluding interest) was imposed on the Company. The Company filed an appeal on 10 January 2014 against the
demand including penalty with Central Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal and the stay has been granted by
the tribunal against the demand. The case has been remanded back to the assessing authority by Central Excise and
Service Tax Appellate Tribunal to submit additional documents along with other evidence.

(b) Demand raised by income-tax authorities

In respect of assessment year 2013-14 and 2014-15, the assessing officer had disallowed additional depreciation
claimed by the Company on addition of assets pertaining to the CNG business. The department has raised a demand
of H2.51 crores and H2.01 crores for the assessment year 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively including interest. Out of
the said demand, H 4.01 crores has been adjusted against the refund for the assessment year 2014-15 and demand
order for the balance amount of H 0.51 crores has been issued by the Department for assessment year 2013-14.
The Company had filed an appeal with the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) which was ruled in favour of
the revenue. The Company has further challenged the Order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in the
Income-tax Appellate Tribunal. Against the remaining demand of H0.51 crores for the assessment year 2013-14,
Company has deposited H 0.20 crores under protest, while amounts of H 0.23 crores and H 0.08 crores have been
adjusted against the refund of assessment year 2015-16 and assessment year 2011-12 respectively.

In respect of assessment year 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2015-16, the assessing officer had disallowed additional
depreciation claimed by the Company on addition of assets pertaining to the CNG business. The department
has raised a demand of H 8.23 crores, H 10.68 crores and H 1.26 crores (including additional demand of H 0.17
crores raised in current year) for the assessment year 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2015-16 respectively. Out of the said
demand, H1.65 crores and H 2.14 crores has been deposited under protest for the assessment year 2011-12 and
2012-13 respectively and H1.09 crores has been adjusted against the refund of assessment year 2015-16. The

Sensitivity analysis

The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are the discount rate, the
salary growth rate and the average life expectancy. The calculation of the net defined benefit liability is sensitive to these
assumptions. The following table summarises the effects of changes in these actuarial assumptions on the defined
benefit liability:
(J in Crores)
As at 31 March 2020 As at 31 March 2019
Particulars Increase by Decrease by Increase by Decrease by
0.5% 0.5% 0.5% 0.5%
Discount rate
(Decrease)/ increase in the defined (1.27) 1.40 (0.93) 1.02
benefit liability
Salary growth rate
(Decrease)/ increase in the defined 1.40 (1.28) 1.03 (0.95)
benefit liability

The present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the same method (project unit credit) as the defined
benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet. The sensitivity analysis are based on a change in one assumption
while not changing all other assumptions. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined
benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of
the assumptions may be correlated.

Defined contribution plan

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions which are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees. Under
the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The
Company recognised H 4.41 crores for provident fund contributions (previous year H 4.23 crores) in the statement of profit
and loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.

46 Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in
accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on
the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy
has the following levels:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant
input to the fair value measurement.

There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019.

The financial assets measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy
as on 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 as follows:
(J in Crores)
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
As at 31 March 2019
Investment in mutual funds 1,285.87 - - 1,285.87
Total 1,285.87 - - 1,285.87
As at 31 March 2020
Investment in mutual funds - - - -
Total - - - -

During the previous year, the investment in mutual funds have been fair valued per net assets value [NAV] as at reporting date.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered
to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Security deposits received have not been fair valued as the same are repayable on demand, so there is no fixed term
available for the purpose of discounting. Further, security deposits given have not been fair valued as the impact of the
fair valuation is not material.

of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close
out market positions. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash
equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. Short term liquidity requirements comprises mainly of trade payables
and employee dues arising during normal course of business as on each statement of financial position date. Long term
liquidity requirement is assessed by the management on periodical basis and is managed through internal accruals. As

Price risk

The Company is not exposed to sensitivity to price risk in regards to its financial assets and liabilities.

(v)
Interest risk

The Company’s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures. The Company is exposed to the interest rate
risk on fixed deposit and on the investment done by the Company in mutual funds. The exposure to the interest rate for
the Company’s mutual fund and fixed deposit is considered immaterial.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +/-
0.50% (2018-19: +/-0.50%). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market
conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial
instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.

51 Leases

a) The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ from 1 April 2019, which resulted in changes in accounting policies in the
standalone financial statements.

b)
Transition

Effective 1 April 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing
on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective method and recognised at the date of initial application:

a) Lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate for leases as on 31 March 2019; and

b) Right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease
payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application.

c) Practical expedients applied

In applying Ind AS 116 for the first time, the Company has used the practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
• accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 April 2019 as short-term
leases

d) The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 was 9% p.a. with
maturity between 2020 - 2042.

e) Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset to
another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Company. Leases are either non-cancellable or may only be
cancelled by incurring a substantive termination fee. The Company is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying
leased assets as security. For leases over office buildings and factory premises the Company must keep those properties
in a good state of repair and return the properties in their original condition at the end of the lease.

f) The table below describes the nature of the Company’s leasing activities by type of right-of-use asset recognised on
balance sheet:
(J in Crores)
Right-of-use assets No of right- Range of Average

payment of lease rentals is not based on variable payments which are linked to an index.

(c) The contribution expected to be made by the Company during the financial year 2020-21 is H 2.04 crores.

Sensitivity analysis

The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are the discount rate, the
salary growth rate and the average life expectancy. The calculation of the net defined benefit liability is sensitive to these
assumptions. The following table summarises the effects of changes in these actuarial assumptions on the defined
benefit liability:
(J in Crores)
Particulars As at 31 March 2020 As at 31 March 2019
Increase by Decrease by Increase by Decrease by
0.5% 0.5% 0.5% 0.5%
Discount rate

benefit liability
Salary growth rate
(Decrease)/ increase in the defined 1.40 (1.28) 1.03 (0.95)
benefit liability

The present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the same method (project unit credit) as the defined
benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet. The sensitivity analysis are based on a change in one assumption
while not changing all other assumptions. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined
benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of
the assumptions may be correlated.

Defined contribution plan

The Company makes Provident Fund contributions which are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees.
Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits.
The Company recognised H 4.41 crores for provident fund contributions (previous year H 4.23 crores) in the statement
of profit and loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the
scheme.

46 Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in
accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on
the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy
has the following levels:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant
input to the fair value measurement.

46 Financial instruments measured at fair value (Contd..)
There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019.

The financial assets measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy
as on 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 as follows:

Total - - - -

During the previous year, the investments in mutual funds have been fair valued per net asset value (NAV) as at reporting
date.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered
to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

Security deposits received have not been fair valued as the same are repayable on demand, so there is no fixed term
available for the purpose of discounting. Further, security deposits given have not been fair valued as the impact of the
fair valuation is not material.

Financial risk management

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact
of the same in the financial statements.

(i) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk mainly through its purchases of capital items from overseas suppliers
in various foreign currencies. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency (‘FC’)
transactions and follows established risk management policies to manage its risks.

The Company’s foreign currency exposure on accounts payable that have not been hedged by a derivative instrument or
otherwise are given below:

Currency As at 31 March 2020 As at 31 March 2019

Consolidated summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information for the year ended 31 March 2020
Foreign currency sensitivity

There shall be no material impact on profit before tax due to 1% increase/decrease in foreign exchange rates.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to perform or pay amounts due to
the Company causing financial loss. It arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, deposits from
financial institutions and principally from credit exposures to customers relating to outstanding receivables. The Company’s
maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting date :

51 Leases

a) The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ from 1 April 2019, which resulted in changes in accounting policies in the
Consolidated financial statements.

b)
Transition

Effective 1 April 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing
on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective method and recognised at the date of initial application:

a) Lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate for leases as on 31 March 2019; and

b) Right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease
payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application.

c) Practical expedients applied

In applying Ind AS 116 for the first time, the Company has used the practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
• accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 April 2019 as short-term
leases

d) The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 was 9% p.a. with
maturity between 2020 - 2042.

e) Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset to
another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Company. Leases are either non-cancellable or may only be
cancelled by incurring a substantive termination fee. The Company is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying
leased assets as security. For leases over office buildings and factory premises the Company must keep those properties
in a good state of repair and return the properties in their original condition at the end of the lease.
