Managing Director's Message to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
It gives me immense pleasure to present the 36th annual report of Bliss GVS Pharma Limited (BGPL).
Looking at our financial performance, consolidated operational revenue for FY21 stood at INR 5,772 Mn. For the financial year, we recorded an EBITDA of INR 1,066 Mn and PAT of INR 740 Mn.
The COVID-19 pandemic had put the entire economy under immense pressure and put strain on operations of various companies across sectors. It also reminded us how fragile and critical is the global healthcare system and its interconnected & interdependent nature from a global perspective. Having said that, I am happy to announce that even amidst strong headwinds, BGPL has emerged as one of the leaders and has used this pandemic as an opportunity to add capabilities & capacity and faced the situation with unparalleled Resilience. We took proactive steps like arranging logistics to facilitate safe travel for our employees to the workplace and ensuring 100% vaccine coverage to mitigate the challenges associated with the Covid. Our Team took steps to create awareness among our employees across locations and educated them with measures taken by the organization to facilitate the safe and healthy work environment.
Coming to our business segments, we have presence in antimalarial, antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic therapeutic segments. Further, we also have managed to maintain our dominant position in various countries across the Sub-Saharan African region with pivotal brands such as Lonart, Funbact, P-Alaxin and Lofnac. Today, we have a wide presence spanning across over 60+ countries for more than 250 branded formulations. Lastly our leadership in the antimalarial treatment segment in Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as our experience in the suppositories and pessaries dosage form with one of the greatest manufacturing capabilities, continue to remain best in class.
Regarding the expansion in production capacity and capabilities with the two-phase development of our Vevoor plant. First phase was commissioned in March 2020 and the second phase commenced construction in Jan 2021. The company has been proactive in mitigating risks on account of the ongoing pandemic on this project. Despite, the setback on account of the second covid wave, the Civil-Works completion for the second phase is on schedule and shall be completed in FY21-22.
We believe in a sustainable future so that businesses can prosper while pursuing a greener and more socially responsible agenda. We have thus taken initiatives to contribute to clean energy by deploying solar panels and setting up a captive renewable power generation unit. By the end of this year, we plan to have a total solar power-based capacity of about 4MWp that will cater to about 80% of our overall energy demand. This capacity shall be increased in the next phase to about 6 MWp to address the increased energy demand on account of additional production capacity.

Further, we have received the Russian GMP approval for our suppository manufacturing facility. Russia is world's 14th largest pharmaceutical market (volume baed) with 70% market share of imported formulations making Russia an attractive pharmaceutical export market. Russian GMP approval also opens access to other CIS countries that are member of EEU.
To conclude, we continue to remain resilient and resolute with respect to our vision and continue to grow steadily in the markets to which we currently cater. The company is committed to further increase the investment to upgrade the R&D capacity and capability. This will enhance our portfolio offering with new products that will significantly add to the pace at which we grow.
We have clear vision and ambition to sustain, develop & diversify our global business while ensuring efficient deployment of capital and add value to our shareholders. Having said that, I believe we are well positioned, even amidst these dynamic situations to address the ongoing healthcare challenges, overcome the head winds and deliver all-encompassing growth.
Yours sincerely,
Gagan Harsh Sharma Managing Director

Annexure-VI to Board's Report MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT
Global Economy Overview
The calendar year 2020 was a great disruption unleashed by a viral pandemic that hit the world economy very hard. The pandemic spread like a forest fire, reaching every corner of the world, infecting more than 90 million and killing close to 2.8 million people worldwide (as of January 2021). For several months, uncertainties and panic paralysed most economic activities in both developed and developing economies. The pandemic has exposed the systemic vulnerability of the world economy. Building economic, social, and environmental resilience must guide the recovery from the crisis.
World GDP fell by an estimated 4.3 percent in 2020, the sharpest contraction of global output since the Great Depression. The pandemic hit the developed economies the hardest, given the strict lockdown measures that many countries in Europe and several states of the United States of America imposed early on during the outbreak. The developing countries experienced a relatively less severe contraction, with output shrinking by 2.5 percent in 2020. Their economies are projected to grow by 5.7 percent in 2021.
The global recovery, which has been dampened in the near term by a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, is expected to strengthen as confidence, consumption, and trade gradually improve, supported by ongoing vaccination. Activity is expected to strengthen in the second half of this year and firm up further next year, as improved COVID-19 management aided by ongoing vaccination allows for an easing of pandemic control measures. Global economic output is expected to expand 4 percent in 2021 but is yet expected to remain below pre-pandemic projections. Global growth is projected to moderate to 3.8 percent in 2022, weighed down by the pandemic's lasting damage to potential growth.

Indian Economy Overview
Financial Year 2020-21 started with a Nation-wide lockdown in India, although India emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships. The Economic Survey has projected that the economy will grow at 11 percent, up from an estimated historic decline of 7.7 percent in 2020-21, on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the vaccination drive is expected to provide an impetus for the restoration of contact-intensive sectors and a leading edge to the Indian pharma industry in the global market.
The government has the ambition of making India a USD 5
trillion economy by 2024 for which various initiatives have been undertaken in the last few years to improve ease of doing business, encourage Make in India, invite foreign companies to India with schemes like PLI (production-linked incentive) and tweak the legacy labour laws, Agri policies, etc. The Government of India, under its Make in India initiative, is trying to boost the contribution made by the manufacturing sector to take it to 25% of the GDP from the current 17%. Besides, the Government has also come up with the Digital India initiative, which focuses on three core components: the creation of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally, and increasing digital literacy.
With the shift in sentiment to reduce dependence on a single country i.e. China, there is an increasing interest from international companies wanting to invest in India. Interest is largely from Asia led by Japan, Korea, and Thailand although we are also seeing interest from Europe. Some of these inquiries are in sectors such as agrochemicals, building products, logistics, packaging, and new-age technology including electronics, sectors where we have not seen significant interest in the past.

Global Pharmaceuticals Industry
The global pharmaceuticals market is expected to grow from USD 1,228.45 billion in 2020 to USD 1250.24 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach USD 1700.97 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 8%. North America was the largest region in the global pharmaceuticals market, accounting for 46% of the market in 2020. The Asia Pacific was the second largest region accounting for 26% of the global pharmaceuticals market. Africa was the smallest region in the global pharmaceuticals market.
As of 2020, total pharmaceutical sales in the United States are estimated to be around USD 514 billion. Total pharmaceutical sales numbers in North America are projected to amount to some USD 633 billion in 2024, making it the regional submarket with the highest global pharma sales by far. Europe was responsible for generating around USD 195 billion. These two markets, together with Japan, Canada and Australia, form the so-called established (or developed) markets. The rest of the global pharmaceutical revenue is mainly from emerging markets which include countries like China, Russia, Brazil and India. These emerging markets show the fastest increase in pharmaceutical sales. Latin America, the Indian Subcontinent, and European non-EU countries are the


world regions with the highest predicted compound annual growth rates up until 2024.
In 2024, the United States is projected to spend between USD 605 and 635 billion on medicine, making it the country with the highest pharmaceutical spending by far. China, which is estimated to be in second place, has a maximum projected expenditure estimate of USD 195 billion for that year.
As of April 2021, there were 1,159 drugs and vaccines in development targeting the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Of these, 689 were still in the preclinical phase. However, there were three products already registered, while one was in the pre-registration phase. Going forward, technological advances, changes in lifestyles, new methods for drug discovery, the large pool of undiagnosed population, and an increase in pharmaceutical drug usage due to the covid-19 pandemic will drive the growth.

Indian Pharmaceuticals Industry
The Indian pharma industry has grown at a compounded growth rate of (CAGR) of ~11% in the domestic market and ~16% in exports over the last two decades. While the domestic market has grown at a similar pace to the gross domestic product (GDP), the overall growth has been driven by the industry's leadership in supplying generic formulations to markets across the globe. In the 2020-2030 period, Ernst & Young expects the Indian pharma industry to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~12% to reach USD 130 billion by 2030 from USD 41.7 billion in 2020.
The Indian pharma industry has achieved significant growth in both domestic and global markets during the past five decades. The share of "Made in India" medicines in the Indian pharma market has grown to almost 80% in 2020 as compared to a mere 5%, five decades ago. More importantly, during the same period, the country has also established a leading position in the global generic pharmaceuticals landscape and is now known as the "Pharmacy of the world". The pharma industry in India contributes more than 20% by volume of the global generics market and 62% of the global demand for vaccines.
India is the source of 60,000 generic brands across 60 therapeutic categories. The country accounts for 40% of the generics demand in the US and ~25% of all medicines in the UK. India also fulfils about 80% of the global demand for antiretroviral drugs for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), significantly contributing towards increasing accessibility of AIDS treatments. Indian pharma manufacturers export nearly half of the pharma production, both in terms of volume and value, to the US, UK, South Africa, Russia and other countries. However, there remains a significant opportunity, largely untapped across Japan, China, Australia, ASEAN countries, the Middle East region, Latin Americas

and other African countries. Some of the factors impacting lower penetration of these regions are; relatively slower-paced entry strategy, long negotiations cycle, regulations emphasizing on local manufacturing, volatility in the global prices, patent recognitions, disharmony in the drug registration process, lack of guidelines on the regulation of biosimilars, bioequivalence studies and delayed market approvals.
The pharma sector has been contributing significantly to India's economic growth as one of the top 10 sectors in reducing the trade deficit and attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The drugs and pharmaceuticals sector attracted cumulative FDI inflow worth USD 16.54 billion between 2000 and 2020. It is of prime importance also due to the trade surplus it has been generating with pharmaceuticals exports accounting for USD 20.7 billion and imports at USD 2.31 billion in FY20. The industry employs over 2.7 million people either directly or indirectly and ranks third in terms of volume and 14th in terms of value globally.
African Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceuticals market in Africa is expected to reach a business opportunity of USD 45 billion in 2020, propelled by a convergence of changing economic profiles, rapid urbanization, increased healthcare spending and investment, and increasing incidence of chronic lifestyle diseases. The growth is expected to continue on the backing of the following factors:
- Rapid Urbanization Africa's population is undergoing a massive shift. By 2025, two-fifths of economic growth will come from 30 cities of two million people or more; 22 of these cities will have GDP over USD 20 billion. Cities enjoy better logistics infrastructures and healthcare capabilities, and urban households have more purchasing power and are quicker to adopt modern medicines. Healthcare provision is becoming more efficient through initiatives such as Mozambique's switch to specialist nurse anaesthetists and South Africa's use of nurses to initiate antiretroviral drug therapy. The introduction of innovative delivery models is increasing capacity still further.
- Africa's Changing Business Environment In a world of slowing and stagnating markets, Africa represents the last geographic frontier where high growth is still achievable. As ever, the key to success lies in understanding individual markets in granular detail. Early movers with the right approach should be able to capture a competitive advantage. A flurry of mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, partnerships, and private equity deals are further extending Africa's markets. Africa will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
The tropical climate of Africa makes the continent the largest reservoir of infectious diseases, particularly malaria, tuberculosis (TB), and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), besides frequent outbreaks of polio, meningitis, cholera, pandemic influenza, yellow fever, measles, hepatitis, and tetanus. With the increasing adoption of the Western lifestyle in Africa, there has been a paradigm shift in the burden of illness towards non-communicable diseases (NCDs), driving the demand for chronic prescription drugs. While continuing to suffer from infectious and parasitic illness, lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer will witness high growth rates throughout the forecast period. The World Health Organisation predicts that the proportional contribution of NCDs to the healthcare burden in Africa will rise by 21% through 2030.
Opportunities:
It is observed that Africa accounts only for 3% of global medicine production while 95% of the medicines consumed in Africa are imported with countries like South Africa and Morocco managing to produce 70% to 80% of their medicines and certain central African countries importing close to 100% of their need. Some African countries have a handful of local companies that produce for the domestic market. Most do not and are also currently uncompetitive for local drug production. The continent overall has roughly 375 drug makers, most in North Africa, to serve a population of around 1.3 billion people. Those in sub-Saharan Africa are largely clustered in just nine of 46 countries, and they're mostly small, with operations that do not meet international standards. By comparison, China and India, each with roughly 1.4 billion in population, have as many as 5,000 and 10,500 drug manufacturers, respectively. And the sub-Saharan market's value is still relatively small, at roughly USD 14 billion compared to China and India. It is opportunistic for multinationals and pharmaceutical companies seeking new sources of growth as developed markets stagnate while patients will also gain access to medicines previously unavailable on the continent. Indian firms in particular have been able to fill this niche.

Global Malaria Outlook
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is preventable and curable. According to the latest World malaria report, released in 2020, there were 229 million cases of malaria in the past calendar year, as compared to 228 million cases in 2018. The estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 4,09,000.
As per the report, nearly half of the world's population was at risk of malaria. Most malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the WHO regions of South-East Asia, Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacific, and the Americas are also at risk. Some population groups are at considerably higher risk of contracting malaria, and developing severe disease, than others. These include infants, children under 5 years of age, pregnant women and patients with HIV/AIDS, as well as nonimmune migrants, mobile populations and travellers.
The WHO African Region continues to carry a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. The region was home to 94% of all malaria cases and deaths. The top 6 countries accounted for approximately half of all malaria deaths worldwide: Nigeria (23%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (11%), United Republic of Tanzania (5%), Burkina Faso (4%), Mozambique (4%) and Niger (4%) each.

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of the users of the 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 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.
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 Ind AS 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.

TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Referred to in Para 2 (f) 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' in our Independent Auditor's Report to the members of the Company on the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Bliss GVS Pharma Ltd ("the Company") as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over to 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 (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Company's business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act").
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statement 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, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statement were 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 with reference to financial statement and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statement included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statement, 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 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 with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statement
A Company's internal financial control with reference to financial statement is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statement
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statement, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with respect to financial statement may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statement were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, 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 issued by the ICAI.

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
Corporate Information:
Bliss GVS Pharma Limited ("the Company") is a Public Limited Company, incorporated on December 11, 1984 & domicile in India under the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), having its registered office at 102, Hyde Park, Saki Vihar Road, Andheri (East), Mumbai, Maharashtra - 400072 and is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
The Company is engaged in manufacturing, marketing, trading and export of pharmaceutical products. The Company is one of among the world leaders in Suppositories and Pessaries dosage forms with one of the largest portfolios in this segment. The Company has its own manufacturing facility at Palghar which is WHO GMP approved.
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021 were approved and authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on May 11, 2021.
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies:
a) Basis of Accounting and Preparation of Financial Statements:
The separate financial statements (also referred as standalone financial statements) have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The financial statements are prepared and presented in the form set out in Schedule III of the Act, so far as they are applicable thereto. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current/ non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III of the Act. Based on the nature of services and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current / non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
The significant accounting policy used in the preparation of the standalone financials statements have been discussed in below notes.
b) Basis of Measurement:
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and assets held for salemeasured at fair value less cost to sell and defined benefit plan assets measured at fair value.
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if the market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the financial statements is determined on such a basis and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
- I) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
- II) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- III) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
c) Use of Estimates and Judgements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of financial statements, which in management's opinion are prudent and reasonable. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying financial statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.
as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the accounting policies:
- Fair value measurement of financial instruments
- Measurement of defined benefit obligations
- Income taxes and Deferred tax
- Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies
- Leases
- Useful lives of property, plant, equipment and intangibles
- Impairment of intangibles
- Impairment of financial assets
- Share based payments
d) Functional and Presentation Currency:
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. All the amounts are stated in ` in lakh.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
I. Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their original cost (net of Goods and Service Tax wherever applicable) including freight, non- refundable taxes, duties, customs and other incidental expenses relating to acquisition and installation less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Interest and other finance charges paid on loans for the acquisition of tangible qualifying assets are apportioned to the cost of fixed assets till they are ready for use.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost.
Expenditure incurred during the period of construction is carried as capital work-in-progress and on completion the costs are allocated to the respective fixed assets.
Pre-operative expenditure comprising of revenue expenses incurred in connection with project implementation during the period up to commencement of commercial production are treated as part of the project costs and are capitalized. Such expenses are capitalized only if the project to which they relate, involve substantial expansion of capacity or upgradation.
When major items of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacement of any property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably.
When an asset is scrapped or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the books of account and resultant profit (including capital profit) or loss, if any, is reflected in the statement of profit and loss.
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on straight line method over the useful life of asset prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Act order to reflect the actual usages of the assets.
| S. No. Assets | Useful Life | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (i) | Buildings | 30 to 60 Years |
|
| (ii) | Plant and Equipment | 15 Years | |
| (iii) | Plant and Equipment (Pharmaceutical & Chemical Manufacture) |
20 Years | |
| (iv) | Electrical Installations Equipment |
and | 10 years |
| (v) | Laboratory Equipment | 10 years | |
| (vi) | Computers | 3 years | |
| (vii) | Furniture and Fixtures | 10 years | |
| (viii) | Office Equipments | 5 years | |
| (ix) | Vehicles | 8 Years | |
| (x) | Servers & Networks | 6 years | |
II. Intangible Assets:
Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
The estimated useful life of amortizable intangibles is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and change in estimates if any are accounted for on a prospective basis.
All Intangible Assets are measured at cost and amortized to reflect the pattern in which the assets economic benefits are consumed. Software capitalized is amortized over useful life of three to five years equally commencing from the year in which, the software is put to use.
III. Investment Properties:
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Though the Company measures investment properties
as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition.
Depreciation on investment property is provided on straight line method over the useful life of asset prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Act in order to reflect the actual usages of the assets. Useful life of Investment property is measured as 50 years.
IV. Leases
The Company, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a time in exchange for a consideration. This policy has been applied to contracts existing and entered into on or after 1st April 2019.
Company as Lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of lease for buildings. The Company, as a lessee, recognizes 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 recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Company as Lessor
Rental income from leases is recognised on a straight- line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company's expected inflationary cost increase, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.
Transition
Transition to Ind AS 116 Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified Ind AS 116 Leases which replaces the existing lease standard, Ind AS 17 Leases, and other interpretations. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. The Company has adopted Ind AS 116, effective annual reporting period beginning April 1, 2019 and applied the standard to its leases, using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard, recognized on the date of initial application (April 1, 2019). Accordingly, the Company has not restated comparative information, instead, the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard has been recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as on April 1, 2019.
V. Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 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.
Classification
On initial recognition the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized 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.
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial Assets and Liability at Amortized Cost
A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
- i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets/liability for collecting/ paying contractual cash flows, and
- ii) Contractual terms of the asset/liability give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial liabilities are subsequently 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.
After initial measurement, such financial assets/liability are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial instruments at fair value through the Company's statement of profit or loss
A financial instrument which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
V.1 Investments:
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 – Separate financial statements.
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments.
The Company has made an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investments, not held for trading, in other comprehensive income.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognized in statement of profit and loss.
V.2 Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of Cash
Flow Statement consist of cash on hand and cheques in hand, demand deposits with banks and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Short term means investments with original maturities / holding period of three months or less from the date of investments.
V.3 Trade Receivables:
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for sale of goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are initially recognized at its transaction price which is considered to be its fair value and are classified as current assets as it is expected to be received within the normal operating cycle of the business.
V.4 Trade Payables:
Trade payables are amounts due to vendors for purchase of goods or services acquired in the ordinary course of business and are classified as current liabilities to the extent it is expected to be paid within the normal operating cycle of the business.
V.5 Other Financial Assets and Liabilities:
Other non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method.
V.6 De-recognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities:
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction which has substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. If the Company retains substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired; the difference between the carrying amount of derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized as profit or loss.
V.7 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting:
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign exchange rate risk. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the
as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
timing of the recognition in statement of profit and loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and nature of hedged items.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.
VI. Impairment of Assets:
Financial Assets:
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether a financial asset is to be impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through loss allowance. The Company measures the loss allowance for financial assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for financial assets at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience with adjusted for forwardlooking information.
Non-Financial Assets:
Tangible and Intangible Assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss to such extent. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increase in the carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.
VII. Inventories:
Inventories consist of raw materials, packing materials, consumables and spares, work-in-progress, stock-intrade and finished goods, conversion charges and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Raw material, packing material, consumables and spares are valued at cost. Cost of raw materials includes all costs of purchase, conversion and other direct attributable costs (net of GST), incurred for bringing the items to their present location and condition and is determined using the weighted average cost method. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined on the moving weighted average method. Finished goods and work-in-progress is computed based on respective moving weighted average price of procured material and appropriate share of labour and other manufacturing overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
VIII. Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures:
The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries at cost less accumulated impairment, if any.
IX. Foreign Currency Transactions:
- a) Transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency i.e. (foreign currencies) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange difference arising on settlement of transactions and translation of monetary items are recognized as income or expense in the year in which they arise.
- b) Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated and are stated using the exchange rates at

as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
X. Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognises revenue from the following major sources:
- Sale of goods
- Sale of services
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized only when it can be reliably measured, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
Revenue from operations includes sales of goods, services, scrap, commission, export incentives. Revenue excludes Goods and Service Tax amount collected on behalf of third parties.
1. Sales of Goods:
Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when a promise in a customer contract (performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring control over the promised goods to the customer. The control of goods is usually transferred to customer depending upon the incoterms or as agreed with customer upon shipment, delivery to the customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. Control over a promised good refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, those goods.
Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, stated net of rebates, discounts, returns, indirect taxes or any other similar allowances. Transaction price is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the sales discounts.
Incentives are accounted based on the assessment
of whether the beneficiary (of the incentive) is acting as a principal or an agent. Where the beneficiary is a principal, the incentive is regarded as consideration paid to the customer and is reduced from revenue. However, where the beneficiary is an agent, the incentive payment is recognised as an expense as the same is in the nature of commission.
Advance received from customer before transfer of control of goods to the customer is recognised as contract liability.
2. Sales of Services:
Revenue from Services is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed.
Performance obligation and transaction price (Fixed and variable)
At inception of the contract, Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies each promise to transfer to the customer as a performance obligation which is either:
- (a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
- (b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
Based on the terms of the contract and as per business practice, the Company determines the transaction price considering the amount it expects to be entitled in exchange of transferring promised goods or services to the customer. It excluded amount collected on behalf of third parties such as taxes.

the financial statements. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognized as an asset.

Fair Value Hierarchy:
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount 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.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The Company doesn't have investment in equity instruments that have quoted price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Instruments in the level 2 category for the Company include forward exchange contract derivatives.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in this level. Instruments in level 3 category for the Company include unquoted equity shares.

Individual limits are set accordingly. Investments at Amortised Cost are strategic investments in associated lines of business activity, the Company closely monitors the performance of these Companies.
Bank deposits are placed with reputed banks / financial institutions. Hence, there is no significant credit risk on such fixed deposits.

It is the Company's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-payment by customers. Also, credit risk in some of cases are mitigated by letter of credit/Advances from the customer.

Borrowings are managed through credit facilities agreed with the Banks, internal accruals and realisation of liquid assets. In the event of cash shortfalls, the Company approaches the lenders for a suitable term extension.

A significant part of the Holding company's financial reporting process is heavily reliant on IT systems with automated processes and controls over the capture, storage and extraction of information. A fundamental component of these processes and controls is ensuring appropriate user access and change management protocols exist and being adhered to. These protocols are important because they ensure that access and changes to IT systems and related data are made and authorized in an appropriate manner. As our audit sought to place a high level of reliance on IT systems and application controls related to financial reporting, high proportion of the overall audit effort was in Information Technology (IT) Systems and Controls. We focused our audit on those IT systems and controls that are significant to the Holding Company's financial reporting process.

- where automated procedures were supported by systems with identified deficiencies, we extended our procedures to identify and test alternative controls; and
- where required, we performed testing to validate the integrity and reliability of associated data and reporting.

130 Bliss GVS Pharma Limited

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect the preparation and presentation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act, that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, the consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under section 133 of the Act.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group 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 consolidated Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated Ind AS 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 consolidated Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013 we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Group has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group 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 consolidated Ind AS 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors

remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of the users of the 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 financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of which we are the independent auditors 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.
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 consolidated Ind AS 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 Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of the seven subsidiaries included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whose financial statements reflect total assets (after eliminating intra-group transactions) of 13,116.51 lakh as at March 31, 2021, total revenues (after eliminating intra-group transactions) of 11,169.23 lakh, profit after tax (after eliminating intra-group transactions) of 647.08 lakh, total comprehensive income (after eliminating intra-group transactions) of 543.39 lakh, net cash flows (after eliminating intra-group transactions) amounting to (250.66) lakh and Changes in Equity (after eliminating intra-group transactions) amounting to (6.46) lakh for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements. The Ind AS financial statement of these subsidiaries have been audited by other auditor whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and our report in terms of sub-section (3) of 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

ANNEXURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Referred to in Para 1 (f) 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' in our Independent Auditor's Report to the members of Holding Company on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
In conjunction with our audit of consolidated Ind AS financial Statement of the Group as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Bliss GVS Pharma Limited (" the Holding Company") and have consolidated the reporting of its subsidiary companies incorporated in India (Indian subsidiary companies) which have been furnished to us by the management for reporting on consolidation as of that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, and its subsidiaries which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements 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'(the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial Statement 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 with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their report referred to in the Other Matters Paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Holding Company's internal financial controls system with reference to financial statement.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to consolidated Ind AS Financial Statement
A Company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statement includes those policies and procedures that; (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind AS 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 Consolidated Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with respect to consolidated Ind AS Financial Statement
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Ind AS financial statement, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation

of the internal financial controls with reference to financial Statement to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statement may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, which are incorporated in India, have in all material respects an adequate internal financial control with reference to consolidated Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statement were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control with reference to financial statement criteria established by the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, on the adequacy and operating effective ness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statement, in so far as it relates to the seven subsidiary companies, two subsidiaries are incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2020
Corporate Information:
Bliss GVS Pharma Limited ("the Company") is a Public limited Company, incorporated on December 11, 1984 & domicile in India under the Companies Act, 2013("the Act"), having its registered office at 102, Hyde Park, Saki Vihar Road, Andheri (East), Mumbai, Maharashtra – 400072 and is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
The Group is engaged in manufacturing, marketing, trading and export of pharmaceutical products. The group is one of among the world leaders in Suppositories and Pessaries dosage forms with one of the largest portfolios in this segment. The Group has its own manufacturing facility at Palghar(WHO GMP approved), Ambernath and Nigeria.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Bliss GVS Pharma Limited ("the Group") and its subsidiaries (the Group and its subsidiaries are collectively, hereinafter referred to as "the Group") for the year ended March 31, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 were approved and authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on May 11, 2021.
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies:
a) Basis of Preparation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind AS) as amended from time to time and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in the form set out in Schedule III of the Act, so far as they are applicable thereto. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current / non-current as per the Group's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current / noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
With effect from April 1, 2019, IND AS 116 – "Leases" (IND AS 116) supersedes IND AS 17 – "Leases". The Group has adopted IND AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach. The application of IND AS 116 has resulted into recognition of 'Right-of-Use' asset with a corresponding Lease Liability in the Balance Sheet.
Moreover, the significant accounting policy used in the preparation of the consolidated financials statements have been discussed below.
Consolidation procedure:
Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary. The difference between the cost of investment in the subsidiaries and the Parent's share of net assets at the time of acquisition of control in the subsidiaries is recognized in the consolidated financial statement as goodwill. However, resultant gain (bargain purchase) is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the acquisition date and accumulated to capital reserve in equity.
Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra Group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
"Non-Controlling Interest" (NCI) represents the amount of equity attributable to minority shareholders at the date on which investment in the subsidiary is made and its share of movements in the equity since that date. Minority interest's share of net profit/ loss for the year of the subsidiary is identified and adjusted against the profit after tax of the group.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value at the date the control is lost. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in statement of profit or loss.
In the case of foreign subsidiaries, being non-integral foreign operations, revenue items are consolidated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. All assets and liabilities are converted at rates prevailing at the end of the year. Components of equity are translated at closing rate. Any gain / (Loss) on exchange difference arising on consolidation is recognized in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) through OCI.
Consolidated statement of profit or loss and each component of OCI are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If an entity of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that Group member's financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with the Group's accounting policies.
Consolidated financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the parent Group, i.e., year ended on 31st March. When the end of the reporting period of the parent is different from that of a subsidiary, if any, the subsidiary prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial information as of the same date as the consolidated financial statements of the parent to enable the parent to consolidate the financial information of the subsidiary, unless it is impracticable to do so.
Business Combinations and goodwill:
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred at acquisition date measured at fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, except certain assets and liabilities required to be measured as per the applicable standard. For this purpose, the liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities representing present obligation and they are measured at their acquisition fair values irrespective of the fact that outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized in consolidated statement of profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
The operation of the Group's subsidiaries are considered
as non -integral operations for the purpose of consolidation.
b) Basis of Measurement:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost to sell and defined benefit plan assets measured at fair value.
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if the market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
- I) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
- II) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- III) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
c) Use of Estimates and Judgements:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of consolidated financial statements, which in management's opinion are prudent and reasonable. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the accounting policies:
- Fair value measurement of financial instruments
- Measurement of defined benefit obligations
- Income tax and deferred tax
- Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies
- Recognition of deferred tax assets
- Leases
- Useful lives of property, plant, equipment and Intangibles
- Impairment of Intangibles
- Impairment of financial assets
- Share Based Payments
d) Functional and presentation currency:
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. All the amounts are stated in rupee lakhs.
I. Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their original cost (net of Goods and Service Tax wherever applicable) including freight, non- refundable taxes, duties, customs and other incidental expenses relating to acquisition and installation less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Interest and other finance charges paid on loans for the acquisition of tangible qualifying assets are apportioned to the cost of fixed assets till they are ready for use.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost.
Expenditure incurred during the period of construction is carried as capital work-in-progress and on completion the costs are allocated to the respective fixed assets.
Pre-operative expenditure comprising of revenue expenses incurred in connection with project implementation during the period up to commencement of commercial production are treated as part of the project costs and are capitalized. Such expenses are capitalized only if the project to which they relate, involve substantial expansion of capacity or upgradation.
When major items of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacement of any property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably.
When an asset is scrapped or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the books of account and resultant profit (including capital profit) or loss, if any, is reflected in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on straight line method over the useful life of asset prescribed in Part C of schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 in order to reflect the actual usages of the assets.
| S. | Assets | Useful Life |
|---|---|---|
| No. | ||
| (i) | Buildings | 30 to 60 Years |
| (ii) | Plant and Equipment | 15 Years |
| (iii) | Plant and Equipment (Pharmaceutical & Chemical Manufacture) |
20 Years |
| (iv) | Electrical Installations and Equipment | 10 years |
| (v) | Laboratory Equipment | 10 years |
| (vi) | Computers | 3 years |
| (vii) Furniture and Fixtures | 10 years | |
| (viii) Office Equipments | 5 years | |
| (ix) | Vehicles | 8 Years |
| (x) | Servers & Networks | 6 years |
II. Intangible Assets:
Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the group and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
The estimated useful life of amortizable intangibles is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and change in estimates if any are accounted for on a prospective basis.
All Intangible Assets are measured at cost and amortized so as to reflect the pattern in which the assets economic benefits are consumed. Brands are amortized over the estimated period of benefit, not exceeding five years. Software capitalized is amortized over useful life of three to five years equally commencing from the year in which, the software is put to use.
III. Investment Properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Though the group measures investment properties using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal.

The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition.
Depreciation on investment property is provided on straight line method over the useful life of asset prescribed in Part C of schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 in order to reflect the actual usages of the assets. Useful life of Investment property is measured as 50 years.
IV. Leases
The group, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a time in exchange for a consideration. This policy has been applied to contracts existing and entered into on or after 1st April 2019.
Group as Lessee
The Group's lease asset class primarily consist of lease for buildings. The Group, as a lessee, recognizes 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 Group 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 rightof-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 straightline method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.
The Group 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 Group uses incremental borrowing rate. For short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as Lessor
Rental income from leases is recognised on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the group's expected inflationary cost increase, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.
Transition to Ind AS 116 Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified Ind AS 116 Leases which replaces the existing lease standard, Ind AS 17 Leases, and other interpretations. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. The Group has adopted Ind AS 116, effective annual reporting period beginning April 1, 2019 and applied the standard to its leases, using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard, recognized on the date of initial application (April 1, 2019). Accordingly, the Group has not restated comparative information, instead, the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard has been recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as on April 1, 2019.
V. 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.
Classification
On initial recognition the group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized 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.
The group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial assets and liability at amortized cost
A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
i. The asset is held within a business model
whose objective is to hold assets/liability for collecting/paying contractual cash flows,
And
ii. Contractual terms of the asset/liability give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial liabilities are subsequently 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.
After initial measurement, such financial assets/ liability are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income/expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets at fair value through the group's statement of profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
V.1 Investments:
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments.
The group has made an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investments, not held for trading, in other comprehensive income.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognized in statement of profit and loss.
V.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement consists of cash on hand, short demand deposits and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Short term means investments with original maturities / holding period of three months or less from the date of investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalent for the purpose of statement of cash flow and are shown within borrowing in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
V.3 Trade receivables:
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for sale of goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are initially recognized at its transaction price which is considered to be its fair value and are classified as current assets as it is expected to be received within the normal operating cycle of the business.
V.4 Borrowings:
Borrowings are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized costs using effective interest method. Transaction costs are charged to statement of profit and loss as financial expenses over the term of borrowing.
V.5 Trade payables:
Trade payables are amounts due to vendors for purchase of goods or services acquired in the ordinary course of business and are classified as current liabilities to the extent it is expected to be paid within the normal operating cycle of the business.
V.6 Other financial assets and liabilities:
Other non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method.
V.7 De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
The group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction which has substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. If the group retains substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
The group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired; the difference between the carrying amount of derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized as profit or loss.
V.8 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign exchange rate risk. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of profit and loss depends on the nature of the hedging
Annual Report 2020-21 145

relationship and nature of hedged items.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting.
VI. Impairment of assets:
Financial assets
At each balance sheet date, the group assesses whether a financial asset is to be impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through loss allowance. The group measures the loss allowance for financial assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the group measures the loss allowance for financial assets at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the group has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience with adjusted for forward-looking information.
The group uses both forward-looking and historical information to determine whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred.
Non-financial assets
Tangible and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss to such extent. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increase in the carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.
VII. Inventories:
Inventories consist of raw materials, packing materials, consumables and spares, work in progress, stock-in-trade and finished goods, conversion charges and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Raw material, packing material, consumables and spares are valued at cost. Cost of raw materials includes all costs of purchase, conversion and other direct attributable costs (net of GST), incurred for bringing the items to their present location and condition and is determined using the weighted average cost method. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Inventories of finished goods and work in progress are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined on the moving weighted average method. Finished goods and Work in Progress is computed based on respective moving weighted average price of procured material and appropriate share of labour and other manufacturing overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
VIII. Foreign Currency Transactions:
- Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Exchange difference arising on settlement of transactions and translation of monetary items are recognized as income or expense in the year in which they arise.
- Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

IX. Revenue Recognition:
The group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
- Sale of goods
- Sale of services
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.
Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized only when it can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group.
Revenue from operations includes sales of goods, services, scrap, commission, export incentives. Revenue includes excise duty wherever charged from the customer but excludes service tax and sales tax / value added taxes, Goods and Service Tax amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
1. Sales of Goods:
Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when a promise in a customer contract (performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring control over the promised goods to the customer. The control of goods is usually transferred to customer depending upon the incoterms or as agreed with customer upon shipment, delivery to the customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. Control over a promised good refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, those goods.
Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, stated net of rebates, discounts, returns, indirect taxes or any other similar allowances. Transaction price is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the sales discounts.
Incentives are accounted based on the assessment of whether the beneficiary (of the incentive) is acting as a principal or an agent. Where the beneficiary is a principal, the incentive is regarded as consideration paid to the customer and is reduced from revenue. However, where the beneficiary is an agent, the incentive payment is recognised as an expense as the same is in the nature of commission.
Advance received from customer before transfer of control of goods to the customer is recognised as contract liability.
2. Sales of Services:
Revenue from Services is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed.
Performance obligation and transaction price (Fixed and variable)
At inception of the contract, group assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies each promise to transfer to the customer as a performance obligation which is either:
- (a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred taxes arising from deductible and taxable 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 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 realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The deferred tax arising from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction are not recognized.
Deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax loses are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
XV. Provision & Contingencies:
As provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
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 group 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.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognized as an asset.
Capital Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
XVI. Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the net profit for the year attributable to the shareholder' and weighted average number of equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year including share options, convertible preference shares and debentures, except where the result would be antidilutive. Potential equity shares that are converted during the year are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, from the beginning of the year or date of issuance of such potential equity shares, to the date of conversion.
XVII. Off-setting Financial Assets and Liabilities:
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable rights to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable rights must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or counterparty.

Fair Value Hierarchy:
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount 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.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The Group doesn't have investment in equity instruments that have quoted price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Instruments in the level 2 category for the Group include forward exchange contract derivatives.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in this level. Instruments in level 3 category for the Group include unquoted equity shares.
| Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at each reporting date: | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| As at March 31, 2021 | ||||||||

| – | 321.88 | – | – | (471.29) | - | |||
| As at March 31, 2020 |
Fair value for assets measured at amortized cost:
During the years mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and other bank balances, current loans, other current financial assets, current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value.
The fair values disclosed above are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs.
Valuation process
The Group evaluates the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on periodic basis using the best and most relevant data available. Also, the Group internally evaluates the valuation process and obtains independent price validation for certain instruments wherever necessary.

Note 36. Financial risk management:
The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and Market risk.
A. Credit risk management
The Group is exposed to credit risk from loans to group companies, bank balances, security deposits, investments measured at amortized cost, trade receivables and other current financial assets.
Credit risk arises from cash and bank balances, current and non-current loans, trade receivables and other financial assets measured at amortized cost. Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.
The Group periodically assesses the financial reliability of the counter party, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual limits are set accordingly. Investments at Amortized Cost are strategic investments in associated lines of business activity. The Group closely monitors the performance of these Companies.
Bank deposits are placed with reputed banks / financial institutions. Hence, there is no significant credit risk on such fixed deposits.
Loans and other deposits are mostly placed with group companies and government authorities hence the risk of credit loss is negligible. Loans to group companies are reassessed at every reporting dates. The loans are extended for genuine business activities.
Trade Receivable: The Group trades with recognized and credit worthy third parties. It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. Also the Group does not enter into sales transaction with customers having credit loss history. There are no significant credit risks with related parties of the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-payment by customers. Also, credit risk in some of cases are mitigated by letter of credit/Advances from the customer.
B. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. For the Group, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities – borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities.
Liquidity risk management
The Group manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring its rolling cash flow forecasts. The Group's operations provide a natural liquidity of receivables against payments due to creditors. Borrowings are managed through credit facilities agreed with the Banks, internal accruals and realization of liquid assets. In the event of cash shortfalls, the Group approaches the lenders for a suitable term extension.
