SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED (hereinafter
referred as “the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2021, the statement of profit and loss
(including other comprehensive income), the cash flow statement and the statement of changes in equity for the year
then ended and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone
Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred as “the Act”) in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended (hereinafter
referred as “Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs (financial position)
of the Company as at March 31, 2021, and its profit(financial performance including other comprehensive income), its
cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (hereinafter referred as “SAs”) specified
under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note No. 36 to the financial statements, which describes the economic and social consequences
the entity is facing as a result of Covid-19 which is impacting operations of the Company, supply chains, personnel
available for work etc.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter of emphasis.
Key Audit Matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
Financial Statements taken as a whole, in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters. We have determined the key audit matter as described below:
Accounting treatment for customer contracts
Description of key audit matter
Revenue amounting to Rs.13,057.30 Lakhs reported in the company’s financial statements pertains to customer specific
contracts and the same are required to satisfy the recognition and measurement criteria as prescribed in IND AS 115,
‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’. Revenue recognition is considered as an inherent risk and also as a fraud risk.

61 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
In case of revenue recognition risk of material mis-statement significantly increases for its cut-offs, accuracy, completeness
and presentation and disclosure. This can lead to revenue either being recognised in incorrect accounting periods or at
incorrect value thereby impacting the results. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit this matter was of
significance and hence a key audit matter.
Description of Auditor’s response
With a view to verify the reasonableness of the revenue accounting we carried out following procedures:
a) Understanding the internal control environment for revenue recognition and to test check with a view to verify its
operating effectiveness;
b) Read terms of the contracts and verified accuracy of sales recognition;
c) Discussed with the management process of identification of variable consideration;
d) Verified cut-off documents to ensure that revenue is recognized in correct accounting period and carried out other
substantive procedures;
e) Performed analytical procedures and obtained reasons for major variances;
f) Ensured that revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting policy of the Company and Ind AS 115 and
necessary disclosures are made in the financial statements;
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
(hereinafter referred as “Other Information”)
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the Board’s report and management discussion and analysis included in the annual
report but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone
Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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 Standalone Financial
Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. 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 Standalone Financial Statements that give a true
and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

62 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, 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.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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.
B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
D. 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 Standalone 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.
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial
Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of
our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements
in the Standalone Financial Statements.
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.

63 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Standalone 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.
Other Matter
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown and other restrictions imposed by the Government and local
administration, the audit processes carried out subsequent to commencement of lockdown were based on the remote
access and evidence shared digitally.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this other matter.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under the heading, “Report on other legal and regulatory requirements” of our report on
even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls
[Under Clause (i) of sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)]

Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED (hereinafter
referred as “the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in
all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial
controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal financial 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 (hereinafter referred as “the
guidance note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (hereinafter referred as “ICAI”).

Management's responsibility for Internal Financial Controls


The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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. 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 the 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.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based
on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the guidance note and the Standards on Auditing issued by
ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal
financial controls. 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 over financial
reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
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 over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting


A Company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control
over financial reporting 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;

SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone
Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting


Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements
A. Corporate Information
Surat Textile Mills Limited (the ‘Company’) is domiciled in India. The Company’s registered office is at 6th Floor, Tulsi
Krupa Arcade, Puna-Kumbharia Road, Dumbhal, Surat-395010. The Company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE). The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing Polyester Chips and Partially Oriented Yarn (POY).

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


B.1. Basis for Preparation of Financial Statements:
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards
(hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS’) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to section 133
of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as
amended from time to time.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets
and liabilities that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Historical cost is generally
based on the fair value of the considerations given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
Items included in the Financial Statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Company operates (‘functional currency’). The Financial Statements of the
Company are presented in Indian currency (Rs. ), which is also the functional and presentation currency of the
Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs with two decimal, except when otherwise indicated.
The financial statements are approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 3rd June, 2021.
B.2. Key Sources of Estimation:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires that management of the Company
makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the
reported balances of assets and liabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as on the date of
the financial statements. Examples of such estimates include:
(i) The useful lives and Residual value of Property, Plant and Equipment
(ii) Income Tax Assets / Liabilities
(iii) Allowance for Expected Credit Loss of Financial Assets
(iv) Future Obligations in Respect of Retirement Benefit Plans
(v) Differences, if any, between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the
results are known
(vi) Fair value of Investments
Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described above, the Management of the
Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based
on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in
the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

74 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
(i) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment:
Determining whether property, plant and equipment is impaired requires an estimation of the value in
use of the cash-generating unit. The value in use calculation requires to estimate the future cash flows
expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present
value. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
(ii) Useful Lives and Residual Value of Property, Plant and Equipment:
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting
period. During the current year, there are no major changes required to the useful lives of assets.
(iii) Provision for Litigations and Contingencies:
The provision for litigations and contingencies are determined based on evaluation made by the management
of the present obligation arising from past events the settlement of which is expected to result in outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits, which involves judgements around estimating the ultimate outcome
of such past events and measurement of the obligation amount. Due to the judgements involved in such
estimations the provisions are sensitive to the actual outcome in future periods.
(iv) Allowance for Expected Credit Losses :
The expected credit allowance is based on the ageing of the days receivables which are past due and the
rates derived based on past history of defaults in the provision matrix.
(v) Income Tax:
Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount
expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions
(vi) Leases:
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116.
Identification of a lease requires significant judgement. The Company uses judgement in assessing whether
a contract (or part of contract) include a lease, the lease term (including anticipated renewals), the applicable
discount rate, variable lease payments whether are in-substance fixed. The judgement involves assessment
of whether the asset included in the contract is a fully or partly identified asset based on the facts and
circumstances, whether the contract include a lease and non-lease component and if so, separation thereof for
the purpose of recognition and measurement, determination of lease term basis, inter alia the non-cancellable
period of lease and whether the lessee intends to opt for continuing with the use of the asset upon the expiry
thereof, and whether the lease payments are fixed are variable or a combination of both.
B.3. Current versus Non-current Classification
Assets and liabilities are classified as Current or Non-Current as per the provisions of the Schedule III notified
under the Companies Act, and the Company’s normal operating cycle.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
(i) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
(ii) Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(iv) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.

75 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
A liability is current when:
(i) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
(ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(iv) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and
cash equivalents. Based on the nature of business and its activities, the Company has ascertained its operating
cycle as twelve months for the purpose of Current & Non-Current classification of assets and liabilities.
B.4. Property, Plant and Equipments and Other Intangible Assets:
Property, plant and equipment held for use in production or supply of goods or services or for administrative
purposes are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less accumulated impairment, if any. The cost of fixed
assets comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes
(other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on
making the asset ready for its intended use, and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying
fixed assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use.
Capital work-in-progress for production, supply of administrative purposes is carried at cost less accumulated
impairment loss, if any, until construction and installation are complete and the asset is ready for its intended use.
Depreciation Methods, Estimated Useful Lives and Residual Value
Depreciation is recognized (other than on capital work-in-progress) on a straight line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets. Depreciation on assets acquired/ purchased, sold/discarded during the year is provided
on a pro-rata basis from the date of each addition till the date of sale/retirement. The estimated useful lives of
assets are stated below:

Sr. Category of Assets Useful Life*


No. (in Years)
1 Buildings:
(i) Factory Buildings 30
(ii) Other Buildings 60
(iii) Fences,Wells,Tube wells 5
2 Plant and Machinery:
(i) Continuous Process Plants 25
(ii) Other 8 to 10
3 Furniture and Fixtures 10
4 Vehicles 8 to 10
5 Office Equipments 5
6 Electrical installations and Equipments 10
7 Computer Equipments 3 to 6
8 Property, plant and equipment individually costing Rs. 10,000 or less 1
*Estimated Useful life of assets consistent with the useful life specified in the Schedule II of the Companies Act,
2013.

76 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
The economic useful lives of assets is assessed based on a technical evaluation, taking into account the nature
of assets, the estimated usage of assets, the operating conditions of the assets, past history of replacement,
anticipated technological changes, maintenance history, etc. The estimated useful life is reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with effect of any change in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Where the cost of part of the asset is significant to the total cost of the assets and the useful life of that part
is different from the useful of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately.
Depreciation of such significant part, if any, is based on the useful life of that part.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement
of an item of property, plant and equipment, determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Leases:
The Company, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for its leasing arrangements, if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset.
The contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, if it involves the use of an identified asset
and the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and has right to direct
the use of the identified asset. The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise of the amount of the initial
measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement
date plus any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any
accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the
lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement
date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses
incremental borrowing rate. For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments
as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
B.5. Impairment of Tangible Assets:
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of individual asset, the Company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which an individual asset belongs. When a
reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual
cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which
a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing, value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

77 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit)
is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the
asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
B.6. Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to
its present location and condition is accounted for as follows:
Raw materials, stores and spare parts and traded goods: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted
average basis.
Finished goods and work in progress: cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is
determined on weighted average basis.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated cost of completion
and costs necessary to make the sale.
B.7. Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as
revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes, goods
and service tax and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised
when the substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer which generally coincides
with dispatch of goods from factory/stock points.
Interest Income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to
the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis,
by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset's net carrying
amount on initial recognition.
Eligible export incentives are recognised in the year in which the conditions precedent is met and there is
significant certainty about the collectability.
Revenue in respect of other income is recognised to the extent that the Company is reasonably certain of its
ultimate realisation.
B.8. Foreign Currencies:
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company.
Transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency are recognized at the exchange
rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into the functional currency at the closing exchange rate prevailing as at the reporting date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate
prevailing at the date of initial recognition (in case measured at historical cost) or at the rate prevailing at the
date when the fair value is determined (in case measured at fair value).
Foreign exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for
exchange difference on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive

use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest cost on
those foreign currency borrowings.
B.9. Employee Benefits:
Short-term Employee Benefits
A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries in the period the
related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefit that is expected to be paid in exchange
for that service.
Other Long-term Employee Benefits
The liability for earned leave is not expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the
reporting period using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each
balance sheet date. The benefits are discounted using the 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 recognized in other comprehensive income.
Post-Employment Benefits
(i) Defined Contribution Plans:
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when the
employees have rendered the service entitling them to the contribution.
Provident Fund: The employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident
fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions
at a specified percentage of the covered employees’ basic salary (currently 12% of employees’ basic
salary). The contributions as specified under the law are made to the provident fund and pension fund
administered by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company recognizes such contributions
as an expense when incurred.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plans:
For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit
credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-
measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of changes to asset ceiling (if applicable)
and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the
period in which they occur. Re-measurements recognized in other comprehensive income are reflected
immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in
the Statement of Profit or Loss in the period of plan amendment.
Defined benefit costs comprising service cost (including current and past service cost and gains and losses
on curtailments and settlements) and net interest expense or income is recognized in profit and loss.
The defined benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in
the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future
contributions to the plans.
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.

SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
Gratuity: The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible
employees. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in
employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15/26 days salary payable for each
completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company accounts for
the liability for gratuity benefits payable in future based on an independent actuarial valuation carried out at
each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method and the same is unfunded.
(iii) Termination Benefits:
Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as
expense in the period in which they are incurred.
B.10. Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which
are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are
added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or
sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing cost eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are
recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
B.11. Taxation:
Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before
tax as reported in the statement of profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The current tax is calculated using the
tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after offsetting
advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the relevant tax
paying units intends to settle the asset and liability on net basis.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the
MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained
in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way
of a credit to the statement of profit and loss. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date
and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing
evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profits. Deferred
tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally
recognized 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 utilized. Such deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in
a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the
accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition of goodwill.

80 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
The carrying amount of deferred tax asset 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 is realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from
the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying
amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current tax and Deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that
are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax
are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
B.12. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past
event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the
obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its
carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a
third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and
the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is
either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate
of the amount cannot be made.
B.13. Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instruments and are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities
on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit and loss.

81 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
(A) Financial Assets
a) Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are
not at fair value through profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition. Purchase
and sale of financial assets are recognised using trade date accounting.
b) Subsequent Measurement
(i) Financial Assets Carried at Amortised Cost (AC)
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual
terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective
is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(iii) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.
(iv) Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures
The Company has accounted for its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture at
cost.
c) Other Equity Investments
All other equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognised in Statement
of Profit and Loss, except for those equity investments for which the Company has elected to present
the value changes in ‘Other Comprehensive Income’.
d) Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for evaluating
impairment of financial assets other than those measured at fair value through profit and loss
(FVTPL).
Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
* The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default
events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date);
OR
* Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default
events over the life of the financial instrument).
For trade receivables Company applies ‘simplified approach’ which requires expected lifetime losses
to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Company uses historical default rates
to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date these
historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward booking estimates are analysed.

82 | Annual Report 2020-21


SURAT TEXTILE MILLS LIMITED
Notes annexed to and forming part of the Financial Statements (Contd.)
For other assets, the Company uses 12 month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no
significant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.
e) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition
under Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments.
For financial assets that are measured at FVTOCI, income by way of interest and dividend, provision
for impairment and exchange difference, if any, (on debt instrument) are recognised in Profit or Loss
and changes in fair value (other than on account of above income or expense) are recognised in
Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in Other equity. On disposal of debt instruments at
FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in Other equity is reclassified to Profit
and Loss. In case of equity instruments at FVTOCI, such cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to
Profit and Loss on disposal of investments
(B) Financial Liabilities
a) Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of loans, net of directly attributable
cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance
cost.
b) Subsequent Measurement
Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade
and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts
approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
c) De-Recognition
Financial liabilities are derecognized when, and only when, the obligations are discharged, cancelled
or have expired. An exchange with a lender of a debt instruments with substantially different terms
is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and recognition of a new
financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is
accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new
financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized
and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
d) Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses
Financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the
end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the
amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities
that are measured at fair value through profit or loss, the foreign exchange component forms part of
the fair value gains or losses and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

A description of methods used for sensitivity analysis and its Limitations:
Sensitivity analysis is performed by varying a single parameter while keeping all the other parameters unchanged.
Sensitivity analysis fails to focus on the interrelationship between underlying parameters.
Hence, the results may vary if two or more variables are changed simultaneously.
The method used does not indicate anything about the likelihood of change in any parameter and the extent of the
change if any.

30.02 Financial Risk Management Framework:
Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other market changes. The Company’s exposure to market risk
is primarily on account of foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to
the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of
deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits
and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining
necessary approvals for credit. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company maintains
its cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks having good reputation and high quality credit ratings.
In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to deposits related to lease premises. These deposits
are not past due or impaired.
Liquidity Risk:
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk
management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The
Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Following is the summary of undrawn borrowing facilities that the company has at its disposal to further reduce
liquidity risk:

Particulars 31st March, 2021 31st March, 2020
Working Capital Loan
Amount Used 0.00 0.00
Amount Unused 0.00 0.00
Foreign Currency Risk Management:
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and consequently, exposures to exchange
rate fluctuations arise. Exposure to currency risk relates primarily to the company’s operating activities and
borrowings when transactions are denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency.
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where
assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. The Company
evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks.
Foreign Currency Exposure:
The Company does not have Foreign Currency exposure as on reporting date.
