EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

Ladies and Gentlemen,

In recent years the world travel and tourism industry was showing robust growth. The industry was outperforming global economic growth and was poised for greater contribution to prosperity and employment. However, in the spring of this year we have had unprecedented disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic is now a major health crisis in India and around the world. The travel industry was amongst the first to be affected by the pandemic and will, in all probability, be the last to recover. We have faced several challenges in the past. I have no doubt that your Company will emerge stronger and more resilient after this crisis is over.

According to The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), in the year 2019 the Indian travel and tourism industry contributed 6.8% to GDP. The contribution to employment in India was 8% or approximately 40 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry has to work tirelessly with our partners and the Tourist Department, Government of India to increase tourism so that we can increase our foreign exchange earnings and create more jobs. In 2019 the number of foreign visitors to India totalled 11 million. Over 2.5 million foreign visitors arrived in India on the tourist e-visa scheme, a growth of 24% over the previous year. Foreign visitors from The United States of America contributed 9%, the United Kingdom contributed 6% and Canada and Australia contributed 2% each. However, this share of foreign travellers visiting India relative to other Asian countries continues to disappoint. The Indian travel and tourism industry has to work much harder to attract more foreign visitors to our country.

Due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, we expect very few foreign travellers to visit India in the current year and in the next year. The hospitality industry must therefore, concentrate on domestic travellers. Your company is well positioned to serve the domestic tourism market.

We have recently taken several steps to streamline our operations. In October 2019, The Oberoi Centre of Excellence (TOCE) went live. TOCE is a centralized facility to ensure process excellence for all business units of the Company. We are offering owned and managed hotels efficient delivery of services in Finance, Procurement, Data Management, Taxation, Business Transformation and Budgeting. We expect TOCE to make your Company leaner and more efficient.

The Oberoi Group continues to excel and be recognised worldwide as a pre-eminent Hospitality Group. In December 2019, the Oberoi Brand was recognized as the Best Hotel Brand for third consecutive year by the Telegraph Travel Awards, UK in a

large survey of Telegraph newspaper readers. The Oberoi Brand continues to be recognized as amongst the best hotel brands worldwide. In July 2020, The Oberoi, Mumbai was ranked as the Best City Hotel in Asia by Travel + Leisure, USA. In the year 2020, three of our hotels were ranked in the Top 15 in Asia by Travel + Leisure, USA. The Oberoi, Amarvilas was ranked amongst the Best Hotels in Asia by Fodor’s Finest Hotels, USA.

The Oberoi, Marrakech opened in November 2019; this resort has been well received by guests who have stayed in the hotel and a number of international publications have rated this resort as one of the best hotel openings globally in 2019.

I am optimistic that travel and tourism industry will grow exponentially after this pandemic is over.

In conclusion, I sincerely thank my colleagues on the Board, our dedicated employees and other stakeholders for their continued support.

Thank you.

P.R.S. Oberoi Executive Chairman

The rainfall pattern has changed significantly at Sawai Madhopur and has resulted in shortage of water in the jungle and the natural water bodies tend to dry. The hotel has assisted the forest department by filling the water hole behind the hotel for the wild animals to drink water. On the recommendation of the Chief Conservator of Forest, the hotel recognized the exceptional work done by the forest guards at the Ranthambore National Park and in other parks of India. The hotel visits the underprivileged and disabled children and arranges refreshments, gifts and a little party of song and dance.

underprivileged children. Both hotels provide mid-day meal of high-protein soya biryani once a week. Executives also contribute by volunteering to teach or donate toys. The hotels are also associated with Ritinjali, which is a volunteer-based organization that works with the marginalized communities in education and development related projects. The hotels provide basic food and essentials like rice, wheat flour and oil once a month. The hotels hire differently abled persons from Pallavanjali Institute for the Actualization of Individual Potential (PIAP) which is an NGO that focus on the needs of children and youth with disabilities. In the area of skill development and livelihood generation, the hotels are partnered with Youth Career Initiative (YCI) which is an innovative, highimpact approach to combating global youth unemployment. It works with young people who are unlikely to have a viable route into legitimate employment and improve their situation without external help. This is a 6 months programme and every year candidates are trained by the hotels. The candidates are paid a stipend and transportation during the training period.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Industry Structure, Developments and Outlook

The Global Economy – Performance & Prospects

2019 saw global economic growth[1] slow to 2.9% compared with 3.6% in the previous year, impacted by slowing rates of growth in most regions across the world. In Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDE), GDP growth reduced from 4.5% in 2018 to an estimated 3.7% in 2019 due to increased government debt and a slowing of investment. Simultaneously, weaker exports and investment in advanced economies (USA, EU and Japan), led to a slower GDP growth of 1.7% in 2019 against 2.2% in 2018.

GDP growth in the ‘Emerging and Developing Asia’[2] fell from 6.3% in 2018 to 5.5% in 2019 strongly influenced by the slowdown in the Chinese economy. This is the first time since the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis that growth in this region dropped below 6%.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought global economic activity to almost a standstill. Owing to widescale lockdowns in most parts of Asia, Europe and in South and North America, the service sector, particularly travel, tourism and hospitality have seen severe disruption to their businesses. With businesses staring at severe liquidity crisis, unemployment rates have risen sharply. Likewise, sharp drops in consumer spending have affected global supply chains. Governments across the world have introduced stimulus packages to support their economies which will further exasperate their fiscal deficits. There are varying opinions on the shape and the scale of economic recovery with the outlook still uncertain till a vaccine or an effective treatment for COVID-19 is found. The International Monetary Fund[3] estimates the global economy to contract sharply by 4.9% in 2020, much worse than during the 2008-09 financial crisis. The U.S. economy is projected to shrink in 2020 by 5.9% and the Euro area by 7.5%. China is expected to grow at a modest 1.2%.

The India Story

India’s[4] GDP growth rate declined from 6.1% in 2018-19 to an estimated 4.2% in 2019-20. On the other hand, India improved its global ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report from 143 in 2016-17 to 68 in 2019-20. India’s total foreign exchange (Forex) reserves increased to around US$ 508 billion in June 2020.

The Government of India has introduced several bold pro-corporate initiatives in the past year, including passing of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Second Amendment) Bill, rationalization of GST rates and reduction of corporate tax rates. Measures have also been taken to improve the Ease of Doing Business index. Reduction of GST on hotel rooms with tariffs of 1,001 to 7,500 per night to 12% and those above ` 7,501 to 18% was another step in the right direction. Likewise, easing of credit, especially for the stressed real estate and NBFC sectors helped boosting investment and consumption.

Much like the rest of the world, the Indian economy has been deeply affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with it’s far reaching consequences on economic and social life. The lockdown in India that was imposed on 24th March 2020 has had an unprecedented impact on the economy owing to a steep fall in demand as well as supply.

The process of lifting the lockdown in various states has since started in phases, effective 1st June 2020, guided by the decision of individual states, although during a major part of this lockdown period, hotel and flight operations were mandated to remain non-operational across India. We expect domestic travel to gradually pick up as the lockdown in various cities in India is lifted. Further, once border restrictions are lifted, we expect international travel to also progressively resume.

The IMF has projected India‘s economy to contract by 4.5% in 2020 follwed by a 6%[5] GDP growth for India in 2021-22, implying that a recovery of business sentiment and resultant economic growth recovery may be on the cards once a vaccine and/or treatment is in sight.

Travel & Tourism

Global Scenario

As per the World Travel and Tourism Council , the global Travel & Tourism industry generated US$ 8.9 trillion (10.3% of global GDP) and 330 million jobs directly and indirectly in 2019. While the global economy grew by 2.4%, the Travel and Tourism industry grew by 3.5%.

India

The Travel & Tourism Industry has been a major source of growth for the Indian economy. Over the past few years, tourism has witnessed steady growth, aided by the shift from foreign to domestic tourism driven by the rising purchasing power of the expanding middle class. The 2020 edition of the WTTC’s Economic Impact - India Report states that the Travel & Tourism industry’s total contribution to the country’s GDP in 2019 equated to 6.8% or ` 13.7 trillion (US$ 194.3 billion). This decline in 2019 from 9.2% in 2018 is attributed to several factors, such as a general declining trend in economic activity, discontinuation of a national airline leading to reduced air travel, natural disasters and pollution levels especially during the winter months.

The industry continued to generate over 8% of employment, amounting to 40 million jobs, and significantly contributes to the Foreign Exchange Earnings of the country, increasing by 7.4% per cent during January to November 2019.

2019 witnessed an estimated 11 million Foreign Tourist Arrivals to the country, a growth of 3.2% over 2018. Among other factors, this may be attributed to easy access to e-visas and government schemes, as, of the total foreign visitors, over 2.5 million arrived on an e-tourist visa – a growth of 24%. Top countries for inbound arrivals in 2019 include Bangladesh (12%), United States of America (9%), United Kingdom (6%), Canada (2%) and Australia (2%). In its latest report on the Tourism and Hospitality industries, the India Brand Equity Foundation projects that number of Foreign Tourist Arrivals in India will surpass 30 million by 2028, although Domestic tourism for the hospitality sector has equally continued to gain importance, being a significant generator of revenue.

India’s ranking in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) of the World Economic Forum has moved from 65 in 2013 to 34 in 2019. The government has adopted the development of thematic circuits comprising 77 projects under the ‘Swadesh Darshan Scheme’ for an amount of ` 6,035.70 Crore.

5 IMF World Economic Outlook Update, June 2020

Tourism & Hospitality - Trends and Opportunities for Growth

The past decade saw a substantial increase in hotel rooms in India and with a corresponding increase in demand, room rates and occupancies improving gradually till reaching a peak in 2018-19. The impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality sector is likely to constrain supply in the near term, which is expected to trigger growth in occupancy levels and rates once consumer and business confidence returns post this crisis. India’s tourism sector was, not long ago, projected to reach US$95.3 billion by 2028. Given the current circumstances, it may however be early to assess the possible impact of COVID-19 on future capital investments in the sector and whether the projects that are under planning or in the initial stages of development will still be developed.

We believe that with the demographic dividend of the country, the vast and widespread tourism landscape, forts and palaces, wellness retreats, wildlife sanctuaries, tea and coffee plantations, hill stations, deserts and seas, the cultural, religious and spiritual destinations which makes India a nation so rich and diverse, the opportunity for hospitality and tourism to flourish and drive employment and foster economic growth will help overcome any short and medium term impediments.

Financial and Operating Performance

The Company’s Total Revenue was 14,343 million in 2019-20 as compared to 16,273 million in the previous year, a decrease of about 12%.

Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, Taxes, Amortisations and Exceptional Items (EBIDTA) was 3,094 million as compared to 4,061 million, a decrease of about 24%.

Profit before Tax was 1,091 million as compared to 1,637 million in the previous year, a decrease of about 33%.

The Net Profit for the year was 1,245 million as compared to 1,133 million in the previous year, an increase of about 10%.

Total comprehensive income was 1,221 million as against 1,125 Million in the previous year, an increase of about 9%.

The Revenue and Profitability would have been higher had there not been the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the 4th quarter of the Financial Year.

A note on the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is provided at Note No. 54 of the Notes to the Accounts.

The Company and the Hotels have taken various initiatives to protect the Health and Safety of Guests and Employees. All precautions based on World Health Organisation Guidelines and directions of the Central and State Governments have been implemented and are being strictly adhered to. The exhaustive measures introduced at Hotels have been published on the websites of Oberoi Hotels & Resorts and Trident Hotels.

The Company continues to be largely engaged in hospitality and related businesses.

Internal Control Mechanism and Adequacy

The Oberoi Dharma which The organisation’s commitment to internal controls flows from states that as members of The Oberoi Group, we are committed to conduct which is of the highest standards – ethical, intellectual, financial and moral. Adequate internal control processes have been laid down to provide an assurance on the orderly and efficient conduct of operations, safeguarding of assets, prevention and detection of fraud and

errors, accurate and timely completion of accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information.

Appropriate checks and balances have been built in the internal control mechanisms to reflect its necessary concomitance to the principle of governance without affecting the ease of operations and their management.

Internal Financial Controls (IFC)

The Directors have devised a framework for internal financial controls to be followed by the Company that conforms to the requirements of Section 134(5) (e) of the Companies Act, 2013, and incorporates measures that ensure the adequacy and continuing operating effectiveness of such internal financial controls. Furthermore, in accordance with Section 149(8), read with the Code for Independent Directors laid down under Schedule IV, Clause II (4) of the Companies Act, 2013, the Independent Directors have satisfied themselves on the integrity of financial information and ensured that financial controls and systems of risk management are in place.

In order to enable the Directors to meet these responsibilities, the Board has devised the necessary systems, frameworks and mechanisms within the Company and empowered the Audit Committee to periodically review and confirm that the mechanism remains effective and fit for purpose.

In line with global best practices applicable to organisations of a similar size, nature and complexity, the Company’s internal control framework has been designed through structured control risk assessments by way of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Risk and Control Matrices (RACM), Information Technology (IT) Policies, ERP-based Information Systems including MIS and automated system controls inbuilt within the ERP and other IT Systems. With increased instances of information security breaches and data leakages being reported from across the globe, the Company has created a policy for reviewing its information technology security infrastructure. Commensurate actions are taken to mitigate risks arising in the information technology framework.

The RACM framework is periodically tested through independent internal audits using data analytics tools. The Internal Audit team has also implemented systems to ensure continuous audit monitoring, in order to identify deviations from the standard, if any. Such exceptions, if any, are then reported to the functional/unit heads with the responsibility of rectifying these exceptions within a definitive time frame. The audit team also has the responsibility to ensure adequate monitoring mechanisms and procedures to ensure prevention and detection of failures and faults in processes and possible fraud.

Internal Audit Mechanism and Review Systems

The Internal Audit Department is headed by the Chief Internal Auditor and comprises of a strong internal workforce of ERP-trained Chartered Accountants with specialised skillsets in areas of Information Security, Financial, Business, Legal, Statutory, Projects and Process Audits.

The Department works on the latest Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs) and deploys online monitoring mechanisms across the IT systems of all functions and units of the Company. Focus areas for specific audits are determined based on structured assessment of risk and the yearly Internal Audit Plan as approved by the Audit Committee. All reported observations of audits are maintained in online databases for comprehensiveness, ease of accessibility and structured follow up.

Periodically, IT Security Audits are conducted by joint teams of Internal Audit and the IT Department. Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) of IT systems are also done by specialised external agencies.

The Company has a structured follow-up team of Senior Executives who meet periodically under the aegis of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer to address and resolve pending audit issues. The Chief Internal Auditor presents the findings to the Audit Committee every quarter, in the order of the impact of risks and probabilities of their occurrence, and highlights pendency of issues, if any.

The Audit Committee takes cognisance of the presentation and provides its directions and guidance for further action. Besides, the Chief Internal Auditor has also been entrusted with the responsibility to report to the Audit Committee on the adequacy of ‘Internal Financial Controls’ (IFC) in accordance with Section 177 (4) (vii) of the Companies Act, 2013.

During the Financial Year 2019-20, separate presentations on internal audit findings on four occasions and internal financial controls on two occasions were shared with the Audit Committee in its meetings. The Audit Committee was satisfied with the adequacy of the internal control systems and procedures of the Company and the performance of the Internal Audit Department in respect of monitoring of such systems.

In the last one year, several such practices have been instrumental in continuing The Oberoi Group being an employer of choice. Some of these initiatives are:

The Oberoi Group Employee Engagement Survey – Employee engagement has always been a strong focus at The Oberoi Group. In the financial year 2019-20, the Kincentric Employee Engagement study was concluded, where the Oberoi Group has achieved an overall engagement of 82% which is in the Top Quartile of Global and India Best Employers. An employee participation rate of 92% was achieved across all hotels and business units in India and overseas. Our scores are at par with the Global Best Employers at 82%.

Diversity and Inclusion – One of our key focus areas for the financial year 2019-20 was to focus on Gender Diversity, ensure we provide the best working environment to be ‘inclusive’ and are a preferred employer for women. We achieved our internal plans and goals to foster and continue our Diversity mission across all our Hotels.

Retention – With a focus on employee engagement and managing people’s careers proactively, our Executive and staff turnover remained steady and well below current market trends.

Compliance - The Oberoi Group stands committed to the highest standards of compliance with all labour-related and other statutory requirements. A detailed Third Party Contract Labour Manual was created to standardise all policies governing the third party manpower. This was implemented across the Group as a best practice initiative for the year.

Humam Resource Automation – The journey to automate HR processes to ensure process efficiency, robust data analytics and better business delivery is continuing with the selection of automated solutions for Performance Management and Learning Management.

Industrial Relations remained stable throughout the year. We were also able to reduce the number of on-going labour litigations by reaching fair and equitable settlements.

Learning & Development

In keeping with The Oberoi Group’s philosophy of training and developing people, its hotels and corporate training centre, The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development (OCLD) continued to invest in comprehensive training interventions.

The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development (OCLD) continued to be focused on its core programmes, namely, the Post Graduate Management Programmes in Guest Services, Housekeeping, Kitchen and Sales Management and the three-year Undergraduate Systematic Training and Education Programme (STEP). OCLD engaged with a Professorin-Residence from the University of Nebraska to review the curriculum of the Management Training Programmes. The review resulted in the development of two new modules to focus on Business Acumen and Business Transformation. The Food and Beverage curriculum has also been revamped to include research in international cuisine trends and curating meal experiences.

OCLD created a module on ‘Creating a Luxury Mindset’ to be used in orientation of team members and the STEP Programmes collaborated with the University of Nebraska, Lincoln via a global classroom to understand global hospitality.

As part of the Corporate Learning and Development initiatives, a series of 10 programmes were run for Executives in the Financial Year 2019-20. Over 200 executives attended these management and functional development workshops. Competencies covered included Leadership, Coaching, Performance Management, Productivity and Process Improvement.

Master Trainer workshops were conducted to enhance training capability and better compliance within the organisation. These were focused on Prevention of Sexual Harassment Train and a Trainer workshop for HR Managers.

A talent framework was established to identify, nurture and retain top talent by the senior leadership. Individual development plans for the Top Talent were rolled out. Executives received training interventions for their specific identified learning and development needs.

The Oberoi Group Coaching and Mentorship Programmes were launched. Executives who are General Managers, Hotel Managers, Executive Assistant Managers and Rooms Division Managers were identified as Mentees and carefully matched to Mentors who are members of The Oberoi Group Mentors Club. The Mentors Club is a group of 7 leaders in the Company who have a long and successful track record, role modelling the culture of the organization and epitomizing Leadership qualities at The Oberoi Group. The Oberoi Group Coaching programme has been created to support first time department heads.

As on 31st March 2020, the number of people employed by the group was 9,959.

The Board takes this opportunity to thank all employees for their unwavering commitment to guests and the organisation and for their dedication and co-operation.

SECTION 5: Commitment to Responsible Business

As the owner and operator of leading luxury and five star hotels, the Company is committed to undertaking responsible business practices which are fully aligned with the principles enunciated under the Business Responsibility Reporting framework on social, environmental and economic responsibilities of business. The context of these principles are embedded firmly within the “The Oberoi Dharma” and “The Oberoi Group Mission” guiding our business practices and corporate governance. This philosophy allows us to work relentlessly towards delighting our guests and enriching the lives of our employees through an open and participative work culture and by providing opportunities for learning, development and growth.

The Company recognises the importance of society and the environment in which it operates. We strongly believe in mobilising our resources and efforts to strengthen and empower the socially and economically disadvantaged and to conduct business in a manner which is environmentally responsible. Through our policies, processes and initiatives, we conduct business in a responsible and sustainable manner. The Company continuously reviews and improves its policies and processes and in so doing, ensures the highest standards of service and business practices.

This Business Responsibility Report details the various initiatives undertaken by the Group during the Financial Year.

PRINCIPLE 1: Businesses should conduct and govern themselves with Ethics, Transparency and Accountability

The Company’s guiding philosophy on ethics, transparency and accountability is articulated in the “The Oberoi Dharma” and specific details are provided in the Company’s “Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy”. The Oberoi Dharma extends to the entire Company and is central to all that we do, individually and as an organisation. It binds all employees to act with honesty, integrity and ethics at all times. Every year, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel of the Company, give a written affirmation of compliance to “The Oberoi Dharma”.

All employees are required to sign “The Code of Conduct and Ethics Undertaking” at the time of joining the Company. “The Code of Conduct and Ethics” espouses honest and ethical conduct, while also emboldening the Company to act strongly against:

Theft, pilferage and fraud;
Violence and abuse;

Physical harm or assault;
Sexual harassment of women at the workplace;
Vandalism of Company property or assets.

The Company also has a “Whistleblower Policy” which allows the Company to adhere to the highest standards of ethical, moral and legal conduct of business operations. The Policy provides a mechanism for the Directors and employees of the Company to raise concerns regarding any violations of legal or regulatory requirements, incorrect or misrepresentation of any financial statements, reports, fraud etc. The Policy applies to all employees of the hotels, business units and corporate office of “The Oberoi Group” in India.

The Policy enables and facilitates an employee and other stakeholders to report instances of misconduct, leakage of unpublished price sensitive information, fraud, and misdemeanour to the Whistle Officer, CEO or Chairperson of the Audit Committee.

The implementation of the Whistleblower Policy is anchored by the Executive Vice President, Human Resources and is overseen by the MD & CEO of the Company.

PRINCIPLE 2: Businesses should provide goods and services that are safe and contribute to sustainability throughout their life cycle

The Company maintains the highest standards of safety and sustainability in accordance with the Oberoi Dharma and Vision which clearly states:

“We see an organization which is committed to the environment, using natural products and recycling items, thus ensuring proper use of diminishing natural resources.”- Oberoi Vision
“Conduct which at all times safeguards the safety, security, health and environment of customers, employees and the assets of the company.” – Oberoi Dharma
“Conduct which eschews the short-term quick-fix for the long term establishment of healthy precedent.” – Oberoi Dharma.

The Company takes great care in ensuring sustainable practices. Measures implemented by the Company include the following:

All laundry chemicals are bio-degradable
Detergents used require less water to rinse out of the fabric and are therefore water efficient
Cloth bags are used instead of plastic bags for collecting and delivering guest laundry, dry cleaning and pressing
Bio-degradable garbage bags are used in most hotels
Guests are encouraged to adopt environment conscious practices like optimised changing of bed linen and towels during their stay
All stationery and shopping bags are made of recycled paper
Some of the hotels have implemented efficient WC systems with dual water flow for saving water

Garden irrigation is carried out through recycled water
Compost pits have been created in hotels with large gardens
Compost machines have been installed in majority of hotels to recycle waste.

Safety initiatives underpin the Company’s business and operational practices. These include physical structures resilient to intrusive and/or other damaging interventions to the extent feasible, fire-safety measures, focus on guest, employee safety, safety towards women in the workplace and overall operational safety across all functions. In addition, initiatives are taken to review the safety and security situation as follows:

Internal security audit reviews of each hotel twice a year
Following up on pending audit review points on a monthly tracking report
Investigate any incident which is followed by a detailed Incident Report
An exhaustive check list for risk assessment as a part of internal security audit
Issuance of high alerts/security advisories from time to time based on prevailing security situations that arise in the city or country in which the hotel is located

PRINCIPLE 3: Businesses should promote the wellbeing of all employees

The Oberoi Dharma is the Company’s central philosophy towards ensuring the wellbeing of its employees as follows:

Conduct which demonstrates that people are our key asset, through respect for every employee, and leading from the front regarding performance achievement as well as individual development”

The Company is committed to making the employee experience enriching. This is done by ensuring a work culture that is caring, open and respectful and provides opportunity for learning, development and growth. Through various policies which guide employee engagement, we have fostered a culture that ensures guest centricity, high standards of personalised service and an enabling work environment.

The Company strongly espouses gender equality, diversity and equal opportunity:

For the Company, gender equality is a commitment. The team comprises employees of both genders with increasing emphasis on providing opportunities to women. We are constantly working to improve on the gender diversity ratio. In addition, to ensure we do not lose lady team members, we actively create an ecosystem that supports their personal commitments thereby ensuring the right conditions necessary for their career growth and progression.
Our teams comprise a diverse mix from different cultures, regions and social backgrounds. The Company has expatriate employees, adding a flavour of diversity to the organisational culture.
Given the varied age and interest demographics of team members, we design events on multi aspects such as entertainment, learning, environment, sports, health and pay back to society.

Presented below are the details on human resources of the Company:

1 Total number of employees (total 3,929 number of permanent employees). 2 Total number of employees hired on 1,217 temporary/contractual/casual basis. 3 Number of permanent women em736 ployees. 4 Number of permanent employees 1 with disabilities 5 List of employee associations that are The Company’s business is spread over recognized by management several states and comprises of multiple hotels, business units and offices.

PRINCIPLE 4: Businesses should respect the interests of, and be responsive towards all stakeholders, especially those who are disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalized

The Company acknowledges and believes that it has a strong role to play in giving back to the communities and stakeholders it works with. Guided by the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, the Company reaches out to stakeholders who are socially disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalised. The Company takes particular attention in ensuring that the initiatives are designed to provide adequate help and relief to the following:

Underprivileged children, including orphans and homeless children
Elderly people
Local communities
Environment- tree plantation

The Company’s initiatives focus on providing critical social, economic and developmental support like education, necessary vocational training and welfare support to these stakeholders so that they lead better lives. (Refer to section 2(5) of this report).

Some notable initiatives are:

The Company’s managed hotels The Oberoi and Trident Gurgaon support Pallavanjali which offers education, training and therapy to young adults with special needs. In the last nine years, the hotels have fostered an environment which presents equal opportunities to young adults who do not function optimally in a traditional academic setup to get trained and learn hospitality skills. Students of Pallavanjali get trained at these two hotels, thrice a week, in the uniform room, laundry, flower room, bakery and finance department.
The Company provides employment to differently abled people and works with young adults with speech and hearing impairments. This initiative has commenced at The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla and Wildflower Hall, Shimla. The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur and Trident, Chennai will shortly commence the next batch.

PRINCIPLE 5: Businesses should respect and promote human rights

The Company exercises utmost care in the promotion and protection of Human Rights. As already noted, the Oberoi Dharma drives the Company’s central philosophy towards its employees and in its outlook regarding various stakeholders across its value chain. This approach is reiterated through the statement “conduct which demonstrates that people are our key asset, through respect for every employee, and leading from the front regarding performance achievement as well as individual development”.

The company strongly values and upholds gender equality, diversity and provision of equal opportunities for all. The employees are sensitised regarding all aspects of socially inclusive behaviour and the need to have a humanitarian approach to all actions. The Company’s Human Resource policies espouse these principles and these are clearly demonstrated in the recruitment policy, where nobody is discriminated on the basis of gender, caste, religion or physical disability. Any incidence of misconduct or harassment is dealt with seriously within the organisation. This helps in building a healthy and lively work place strengthened through mutual trust and ethical behaviour.

PRINCIPLE 6: Business should respect, protect, and make efforts to restore the environment

The Company is committed to protecting the environment within which it operates. The Oberoi Group vision and dharma places utmost importance to sustainability while conducting business. Some of the environmental initiatives are:

Energy efficient building and architectural design:

New construction emphasises on energy efficient building design and materials. The roofs and external walls have high thermal resistance insulation to minimise energy loss. Building fenestration is incorporated with high performance insulated glass to reduce energy loss. Roof tops have reflective tiles or an albedo coating to minimize the impact of heat.

Use of energy efficient designs and equipment:

Care is taken to ensure that the system design and equipment deployed are energy efficient. Highly efficient chillers are used for air conditioning. Pumps, fans, compressors, blowers and other equipment are selected carefully considering their energy efficiency. Energy recovery systems and variable speed drives are used extensively to save energy. High efficiency boilers and heaters are used with energy recovery systems to recover waste heat. Energy efficient lighting with optimal use of natural light is practiced. Building Management systems are used for monitoring and control.

Sustainable landscape and water use:

Sustainable landscaping and horticulture are essential features of every hotel.

The design of new hotels ensures a high percentage of green area, trees and shrubs. Local plants species are extensively used to encourage biodiversity.

The use of natural fertilizers and bio-pesticides support sustainable practices. While building hotels, natural contours of the site are maintained to limit disturbance to natural water flow and increase infiltration of storm water. Rain water harvesting systems are installed in the majority of hotels. Hotels have Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). Treated water from STPs gets recycled for use in horticulture and cooling towers. Technology for treating and recycling used water from laundry back to the laundry is an option under active consideration which will not only save water but also reclaim the heat which gets lost otherwise. A pilot plant at one our larger city hotels has been evaluated. Low water usage plumbing fixtures are used to reduce water consumption. Irrigation systems use automation to control water usage.

Use of sustainable materials:

Fly-ash, a waste product from power plants is used in building structures. Low embedded energy materials (material with recycled content, rapidly renewable wood/ composite wood products) are extensively used in developing interiors. FSC certified wood and composite products made from recycled wood scrap are used. Priority is given on use of locally available materials like tiles, granite, marble etc. This reduces transportation and minimises carbon emissions. Biodegradable organic chemicals are used in washing machines. Bathroom amenities are made from natural botanical

extracts and herbs. Use of plastics is discouraged and there is preference for renewable and organic products. The refrigerants used have low global warming and low ozone depletion properties.

Waste Reduction, recycle and reuse:

Wet garbage is treated in organic waste converters and recycled in several hotels. Alternatively, it is used as animal feed. Metal, plastic and other recyclable waste are segregated and sold as scrap for recycling. Electronic waste is disposed responsibly to authorized agencies as per regulations. Printed stationary is reused. Old linen is recycled for back of the house use. Business kits and cards are made from recycled paper.

Indoor environmental quality:

Hotel designs give attention to indoor environmental quality for maintaining the environment for users, occupants and guests. Good ventilation is provided in all areas and air is treated to give good indoor air quality. Smoking zones are clearly identified and ventilation systems ensure there is no exposure of smoke outside these areas. Low VOC materials like paints, coatings, plywood, timber and fabrics are used to minimise exposure to VOCs. Carpets used are environment friendly and comply with CRI standards. Buildings are carefully treated for acoustic comfort and to minimise ingress of noise from outside. Wet and dry scrubbers are installed to reduce emissions of gases and particulate matter.

Special attention is paid towards safety and detailed safety procedures are listed for operational guidance of hotels.
Hotel designs ensure accessibility for differently abled guests.
In addition, the Company continues to ramp up its reliance on renewable energy, some of which is listed below:

The Company has invested in a local wind generating company and 3.6 million units of electricity per year from wind energy have been contracted on a long term basis for The Oberoi, Bangalore. The Company and its Associate have invested in a local wind generating company and 1.5 million units of electricity per year from wind energy have been contracted on a long term basis for Oberoi Flight Services, Chennai besides 2.8 million units for the Trident Chennai. Roof top solar panels have been installed in all hotels of as much capacity feasible. In addition to the roof top solar plants, it is planned to utilize the unused land parcels within the hotel boundary to add to the existing solar power plant capacity which is estimated to deliver 30% to 40% of the total power consumed at The Oberoi Rajvilas, The Oberoi Vanyavilas, The Oberoi Udaivilas, Trident Udaipur and Trident Agra. This project is estimated to be commissioned by the end of the second quarter in Financial Year 2020-21.

PRINCIPLE 7: Businesses, when engaged in influencing public and regulatory policy, should do so in a responsible manner

The Company takes up with responsibility and commitment matters concerning the hotel industry across the country through active participation in apex industry associations

including the following:

Hotel Association of India (HAI)
Federation of Hotels and Restaurant Association of India (FHRAI)
Federation of Associations in Indian Tourism & Hospitality (FAITH)
Tourism & Hospitality Skills Council (THSC)
Skills Council for People with Disability (SCPwD)

PRINCIPLE 8: Businesses should support inclusive growth and equitable development

The Company continues to regularly identify and engage with different sections of the communities. Please refer to Point 5 of Section 2 of this Business Responsibility Report for further details.

PRINCIPLE 9: Businesses should engage with and provide value to their customers and consumers in a responsible manner

The Company has an uncompromising and unrelenting commitment to delivering excellence and value to its guests through efficient, personalised and caring service. This is based on “The Oberoi Dharma”. Our commitment to excellence, attention to detail and personalised service continues to be acknowledged and appreciated globally.

HRACC has developed stringent guidelines for hotels to follow. Based on a detailed inspection, hotels are classified as 5 Star deluxe, 5 star and so on.

Internationally, the Company has leveraged several reputed magazines to reach out to its large base of international customers.

Within the hotels a variety of media is used to display information for guests to better understand the special offers and general information about the hotel. To ensure continuous improvement, the Company’s hotels rely on the “GQA – Guest Questionnaire” feedback process, which enables us to understand guest needs and experiences better.

The continuous endeavour of the Company is to maximise and increase satisfaction, loyalty and referrals from guests. This is based on the belief that loyal guests will actively promote and recommend our hotels. All customer complaints are immediately addressed to ensure that the guests continue to have a positive association and remain loyal to our hotels.

For the past two decades, the Company has consistently commissioned reputed independent third party agencies to conduct anonymous mystery audits at each of our hotels to ascertain that established quality standards pertaining to both service and product are met.

All the operating standards applicable at Oberoi Hotels and Trident Hotels have been approved by the Company’s Executive Chairman. The MD and CEO of the Company, with support from management and staff, ensure the highest operating standards across all hotels.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To

The Members of EIH Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

EIH Limited We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2020, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

107

Sr. No.	Key Audit Matter	Auditor’s Response
1	Assessment of Impairment of investment in a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Refer Note 1(l)(iii),8 ,38, 53 to the Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements) The Company has a non-current investment in EIH Flight Services Limited (EIHFSL), Mauritius, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, amounting to INR 1,184.88 Million. The Company is of the view that the operations of its subsidiary represent a single cash-generating unit (‘CGU’). The Company performed an impairment assessment and concluded that the recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount as at March 31, 2020 and accordingly, the Company recognised an impairment loss of INR 161.40 Million in the Statement of Proft and Loss which has been recognised under “Exceptional items”. (Refer Note 38). Due to the multitude of factors and assumptions involved in determining the forecasted revenues/cash fows and discount rate in the projection period, significant judgments are required to estimate the recoverable value. Hence this is considered as a key audit matter.	Principal audit procedures performed: • We have understood and tested the design, implementation and operating efectiveness of the management controls over the assessment and conclusion over the impairment evaluation with regard to the investment in a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. • Assessed the appropriateness of the valuation model to determine the recoverable amount (Value in use). • Tested the key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount and assessed the reasonableness of the future cash fow projections, the growth rates and the discount rate. • Performed an assessment of the reasonableness of the previously prepared projections to determine management’s ability to forecast adequately and understand the reason for material variances. • Considered sensitivity of reasonable possibility of changes in the key assumptions and inputs to determine the efect on the recoverable amount. • Checked mathematical accuracy of the model. • We involved our internal fair valuation specialist to test the valuation model and the discount rates used. • Assessed the adequacy of related disclosures in the notes to the standalone fnancial statements and their compliance with Ind AS.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Directors’ report including annexures to the Directors’ Report, Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

108

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

109

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

110

Other Matters

The management was able to perform year end physical verification of inventories, only at certain units prior to the year end. We were able to physically observe the physical stock verification at one unit before the year end. On account of COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions, physical verification of inventories was performed by the management at certain units subsequent to the year end. We were not able to physically observe the stock verification. Consequently, we have performed alternate procedures to audit the existence of inventory as per the guidance provided in SA501 “Audit Evidence – Specific Considerations for Selected Items” and have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence. Our report is not modified in respect of this matter.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements and our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below is not modified in respect of these matters.

Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, 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 over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on “the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting established by the respective Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India”.

(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.
(b) The Company has a programme of verification of fixed assets to cover all the items in a phased manner over a period of three years which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Pursuant to the programme, certain fixed assets were physically verified by the Management during the year. According to the information and explanations given to us, no material discrepancies were noticed on such verification.
(c) According to the information and explanations given to us and the records examined by us and based on the examination of the registered sale deed / transfer deed / conveyance deed provided to us, we report that, the title deeds, comprising all the immovable properties of land and buildings which are freehold, are held in the name of the Company as at the balance sheet date.

As explained to us, no material discrepancies were noticed on physical verification.

(iii) Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
(iv) Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below. The Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Timing of revenue recognition from major business activities

Hospitality Services: Revenue from hospitality services is recognised when the services are rendered and the same becomes chargeable or when collectability is certain.
Sale of printed material: Revenue from sale of printed and other materials is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the materials have been passed on to the buyer which usually coincides with the dispatch of materials.
Others: Revenue from Shop License Fee, Management and Marketing Fee included under “Other Services” is recognised on accrual basis as per terms of the contract.
Revenue in respect of customer loyalty program are recognized when loyalty points are redeemed by the customers or on its expiry.

c) Foreign currencies

(i) Presentation Currency

The financial statements are presented in INR which is the Functional Currency of the Company.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company has adopted Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which clarifies the date of transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to be used on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency.

Sales made in any currency other than the functional currency of the Company are converted at the prevailing applicable exchange rate. Gain/Loss arising out of fluctuations in exchange rate is accounted for on realization or translation into the reporting currency of the corresponding receivables at the year end.

Payments made in foreign currency including for acquiring investments are converted at the applicable rate prevailing on the date of remittance. Liability on account of foreign currency is converted at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the year. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the year.

Revenue expenditure of all the overseas sales offices are converted at the average exchange rate for the year. Assets and liabilities other than Fixed Assets are converted at the exchange rate prevailing at the close of the accounting year and Property, Plant and Equipment are converted at the month-end exchange rate of the month of acquisition.

Foreign currency loans covered by forward contracts are realigned at the forward contract rates, while those not covered by forward contracts are realigned at the rates ruling at the year end. The differences on realignment is accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

d) Income tax

Current income tax is recognized based on the taxable profit for the year, using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or made applicable on the date of balance sheet.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company has adopted Appendix C to Ind AS 12 – Income taxes, which clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in Ind AS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments

e) Deferred Tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements, using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or prescribed on the date of balance sheet.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and incurred tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future tax consequences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

f) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

The board of directors of the Company, which has been identified as being the CODM, generally assesses the financial performance and position of the Company, and makes strategic decisions.

g) Leases

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, comparative information as at and for the year ended March 31, 2019 has not been restated. The impact of adoption of the standard on financial statements of the Company has been disclosed in the notes to accounts.

On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognised lease liabilities in relation to certain leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of Ind AS 17, Leases. These liabilities have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the company’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 April 2019.

For leases previously classified as finance leases the entity recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The measurement principles of Ind AS 116 are only applied after that date.

The Company as a lessee:

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, building and vehicle leases. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives and estimated restoration costs of the underlying asset where applicable. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying assets useful life.

Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Lease liabilities and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

The Company applies the practical expedient by the standard allowing not to separate the lease component from other service components included in its lease agreements. Accordingly, all fixed payments provided for in the lease agreement, whatever their nature, are included in the lease liability.

The Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

126

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right of-use asset arising from the head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income.

h) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset or cash generating unit and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. In case of such reversal, the carrying amount of the asset is increased so as not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had there been no impairment loss.

Impairment losses recognized in prior years are reversed when there is an indicator that the impairment losses recognized no longer exist or have decreased. Such reversals are recognized as an increase in carrying amounts of assets to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amounts that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years.

i) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cash at bank and other deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

j) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

k) Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined based on Cumulative Weighted Average method. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such inventories to its present location and condition and includes, where applicable, appropriate overheads based on normal level of activity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs for completion and sale. Unserviceable/damaged/discarded stocks and shortages are charged to the statement of Profit and Loss.

l) Investments and other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

– those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss) – those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in the statement of profit and loss. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(a) Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

127

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in statement of profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to statement of profit and loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit and loss

(b) Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) such as investments, advances and security deposits held at amortised cost and financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are tested for impairment based on evidence or information that is available without undue cost or effort. The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

(v) Income recognition

Interest income: Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.

Dividend income: Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

m) Financial Liabilities

Borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at the value of the respective contractual obligations. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any discount or premium on redemption / settlement is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost over the life of the liability using the effective interest method and adjusted to the liability figure disclosed in the Balance Sheet. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is, when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled and on expiry.

128

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

n) Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical Cost represents direct expenses incurred on acquisition or construction of the assets and the share of indirect expenses relating to construction allocated in proportion to the direct cost involved.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use on the reporting date and materials at site

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment other than land and hotel buildings is provided on ‘Straight Line Method’ based on useful life as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

The hotel buildings are depreciated equally over the balance useful life ascertained by independent technical expert which ranges between 23 years and 55 years with effect from March 31, 2020 and the total useful life of the buildings are higher than those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act; 2013. The management believes that the balance useful lives so assessed best represent the periods over which the hotel buildings are expected to be in use. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each financial year.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in statement of profit and loss within other gains/(losses).

o)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and net of impairments, if any. An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognised as at April 1, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the intangible assets.

p) Investment Property

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with Ind AS 16’s requirements for cost model.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

q) Trade and other payables

Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

r) Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of respective assets during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

129

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

s) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or statutory obligation or constructive obligation as a result of past events and where it is probable that there will be outflow of resources to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events due to occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are provided for.

Contingent assets where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.

t) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

(ii) Post-employment obligations

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

Gratuity obligations –

Maintained as a defined benefit retirement plan and contribution is made to the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Leave encashment on termination of service –

The liabilities for earned leave are expected to be settled after the retirement of employee. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

Provident Fund –

The Company pays provident fund contributions to a fund administered by Government Provident Fund Authority. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

u) Dividends

Liability is created for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity.

130

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

v) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
the profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year,
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the number of equity shares used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
the weighted average number of equity shares including additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares happened.

w) Government grants/incentives

Government grants/ incentives that the Company is entitled to on fulfillment of certain conditions, but are available to the Company only on completion of some other conditions, are recognized as income at fair value on completion of such other conditions.

Grants/incentives that the Company is entitled to and are available to the Company on fulfillment of certain conditions, such grants/incentives are recognized at fair value as income when there is reasonable assurance that the grant/incentives will be received.

x) Investment in Subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

Investment in Subsidiaries: A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over entity.

Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity’s returns.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.

Investment in joint ventures and associates: A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

An Associate is an entity over which the company has significant influence.

The investment in joint ventures are carried at cost. The investment in associates are carried at cost except for those investments which were required to be fair valued until the investee had not become an associate. The carrying amount of such investments is the sum of fair value of the investment until the time the investee had not become an associate and the cost of investment as a result of which the investee became an associate entity. Any further investments made in that associate thereafter are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates recognised as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

y) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest million with two decimals as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

2 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2019 notifies new standard or amendments to the standards. There is no such new notification which would be applicable from April 1, 2020

3 SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the company’s accounting policies.

This note provides information about the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Detailed information about each of these estimates or judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each impacted line item in the financial statements.

A Significant estimates :

i) Useful life of the Hotel Building

The Company has adopted useful life of property, plant and equipment as stipulated by Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except for the hotel buildings for computing depreciation. In the case of the hotel building of the Company, due to superior structural condition, management decided to assess the balance useful life by independent technical expert. As per the certificates of the technical expert, the balance useful life of the hotel buildings ranges between 23 years and 55 years as at March 31, 2020 and the total useful life of the buildings are higher than those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The carrying amount of the hotel building is being depreciated over its residual life.

ii) Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

The Company has ongoing litigations with various regulatory authorities and third parties with respect to tax/legal matters. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. These are subjective in nature and involves estimation uncertainity in determing the likely outcome of such tax/legal matters.

B Significant judgements:

Advance towards Equity Shares

In the case of Mashobra Resort Limited (“MRL”), several disputes with the Government of Himachal Pradesh, the joint venture partner, were referred by the High Court of Himachal Pradesh by an order dated 17th December, 2003 to an Arbitral Tribunal consisting of a single Arbitrator. The Arbitrator’s award dated 23rd July, 2005 was challenged both by the Company and MRL, amongst others, before the High Court of Himachal Pradesh. The operation of the Arbitration Award was stayed pending substantive hearing of the applications by the High Court. Consequently, the status quo ante of the entire matter was restored to the position as on 17th December, 2003 and the hotel is being operated by MRL accordingly. The Company vide its letter dated 4th April, 2012 requested MRL to account for the entire amount of INR 1,361.93 Million provided to MRL upto 31st March, 2012 as ‘Advance Towards Equity’, including INR 130.00 Million being the opening balance of ‘Advance Towards Equity’. In view of the above, the Company has shown the said amount of INR 1,361.93 Million as ‘Advance Towards Equity’ under Other non-current financial assets in its books of account.

The High Court, by virtue of an order dated 25th February, 2016 which was made available to the Company in May 2016, decided not to interfere with the order of the Arbitrator. The Company amongst others, have preferred an appeal before the Division Bench of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh. By an Order dated 27th June, 2016, Division Bench has stayed the Single Bench Judge Order dated 25th February, 2016 and directed the parties to maintain status quo till the matter is finally heard and disposed off. The matter is pending before the Division Bench of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh for adjudication.

(ii) Fair value hierarchy

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.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

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.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, security deposits included in level 3.

(iii) Assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost for which fair values are disclosed

All the financial asset and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, carrying value is an approximation of their respective fair value.

(iv) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

Investment in Green Infra Wind Generation Limited and ReNew Wind Energy (Karnataka) Pvt. Ltd. are made pursuant to the contract for procuring electricity supply at the hotels units. Investment in said companies is not usually traded in market. Considering the terms of the electricity supply contract and best information available in the market, cost of investment is considered as fair value of the investments.
For the investment in Golden Jubilee Hotels Private Limited (GJHPL), the management was of the view that carrying value of the investment is representative of its fair value as on April 1, 2015. As on April 1, 2015, no indicators of impairment was existing. However, during the financial year 2015-16, due to the non-payment of bank borrowings and other obligation, petition for the winding up has been filed by the creditors and lenders of the GJHPL. Considering the financial position of the GJHPL and legal proceedings initiated by lenders, the management has fully provided for the investment in GJHPL as on March 31, 2016.

(iii) Price risk

The company’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company in equity securities and classified in the balance sheet as at fair value through profit or loss (note 8). However, company does not have a practice of investing in market equity securities with a view to earn fair value changes gain. As per the company policies, whenever any investment is made by the company in equity securities, the same is made either with some strategic objective or as a part of contractual arrangement.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a counter party defaults on contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. Trade receivables consist of large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. In order to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaulters, the Company has an ongoing credit evaluation process in respect of customers who are allowed credit period. In respect of walk-in customers the company does not allow any credit period and therefore, is not exposed to any credit risk.

The company does not have any derivative transaction and therefore is not exposed to any credit risk on account of derivatives.

(C) Liquidity risk

The Company has a liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term sources of funding vis-à-vis short term and long term utilization requirement. This is monitored through a rolling forecast showing the expected net cash flow, likely availability of cash and cash equivalents, and available undrawn borrowing facilities.

(iv) Post-Employment benefits

The significant actuarial assumptions were as follows:

	March 31, 2020	March 31,2019
Discount rate	6.50%	7.40%
Salary growth rate	Year 2021 - 0%, thereafter 5%	5.00%

Withdrawal Rate	Age less than 30 years:	2.00%
	Management - 20%
	Non Management - 30%
	Age Greater than 30years - 5%

(v) Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:

	Change in assumption	Change in assumption	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation
			Increase by 1%		Decrease by 1%
	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019
Gratuity
Discount rate	1% 1% (33.96) (39.72) 37.83 45.08
Salary growth rate	1% 1% 31.86 45.74 (29.15) (40.96
Leave Encashment
Discount rate	1% 1% (16.56) (19.98) 18.75 23.27
Salary growth rate	1% 1% 16.22 23.61 (14.60) (20.59

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method i.e. projected unit credit method has been applied as that used for calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

Sensitivities due to Demographic and Investment are not material and hence the impact of change due to these is not disclosed

(vi) The major categories of plan assets are as follows:

The major categories ofplan assets are as follows:
	March 31, 2020		March 31, 2019
	Unquoted	in %	Unquoted	in %
Investment funds with LIC of India *	576.99 576.99	100% 100%	551.80 100% 551.80 100%
Total

Gratuity trust pays contribution to LIC which in turn invests the amount in various instruments. As it is done by LIC in totality basis along with contributions from other participants, the Company wise investment in planned assets - category / class wise is not available.

(vii) Risk exposure

The defined benefit obligations have the under mentioned risk exposures :

Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.

Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Investment risk: This may arise from volatility in asset values due to market fluctuations and impairment of assets due to credit losses. LIC of India primarily invests in debt instruments such as Government securities and highly rated corporate bonds wherein the risk of downward fluctuation in value is minimal.

47 Leases

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing a lease liability at the date of initial application at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the company’s incremental borrowing rate and recognizing a right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application. Comparatives as at and for the year ended March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies included as part of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.

On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of ‘Right of Use’ asset of INR 3,338.01 million from leases that were earlier classified as operating lease and ‘Right of Use’ asset of INR 677.02 million from leases that were earlier classified as finance lease aggregating to total ‘Right of Use’ asset of INR 4,015.03 million and a lease liability of INR 1,100.12 million from leases that were earlier classified as operating lease and lease liability of INR 87.56 million from leases that were earlier classified as finance lease aggregating to total lease liability of INR 1,187.68 million. Further the effect of this adoption has also resulted in the following as on 1 April 2019:

Property, plant and equipment decreased by INR 677.02 million
Deferred tax liabilities (net) increased by INR 3.60 million
Prepayments decreased by INR 2,237.89 million
Borrowings and other financial liabilities decreased by INR 62.92 million and INR 34.93 million respectively

The cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in INR 6.69 million (net of tax) being credited to retained earnings as on transition date.

The nature of expenses in respect of operating leases has changed from lease rent to depreciation and amortisation on right-ofuse asset and finance cost for interest accrued on lease liability. Consequently, Finance Costs and Depreciation for the year ended March 31, 2020, are higher by INR 90.97 million and INR 125.02 million respectively and Other Expenses are lower by INR 134.72 million as a result of which, Profit before tax is lower by INR 81.27 million

Ind AS 116 has resulted in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.

The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

(a) Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date
(b) Relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review - there were no onerous contracts as at 1st April 2019
(c) Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application
(d) Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application
(e) Using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease

The difference between the operating lease obligation disclosed as of March 31, 2019 under Ind AS 17 disclosed under Note 46 of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the value of the lease liability as of April 1, 2019 is primarily on account of following reasons :

In the previous year, the Company only recognised lease assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases that were classified as finance leases under Ind AS 17, Leases. The assets were presented in property, plant and equipment and the liabilities as part of the Company’s borrowings and other financial liabilities.

The aggregate depreciation expense on ROU assets is included under depreciation and amortization expense in the statement of Profit and Loss.

53 The Company has a non-current investment in EIH Flight Services Limited (EIHFSL), Mauritius, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company in the business of airline catering and airport lounge, amounting to INR 1,184.88 Million. As at 31st March 2020 EIHFSL total liabilities exceeded total assets, resulting in a shareholder’s deficit of INR 156.52 Million.

The Company performed an impairment assessment and concluded that the carrying amount as at March 31, 2020 exceeded the recoverable amount and accordingly, the Company recognised an impairment loss of INR 161.40 Million in the Statement of Profit and Loss which has been recognised under “Exceptional items” (Refer Note 38).

The company is of the view that the operations of its subsidiary EIHFSL represent a single cash-generating unit (CGU). The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined by value-in-use using discounted value of projected future cash flows for a period of five years approved by the Board of Directors and a long term growth rate (estimated based on the country and passenger growth rate) was used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the five years period covered by the projections. The future cash flows consider potential risks given the current economic environment (COVID-19 Pandemic) and key assumptions, such as volume forecasts and margins. The discount rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital comprising the risk free rate based on 10 year yield of Government of Mauritius bonds and a market participant risk premium and an additional risk premium to factor in the risk of achieving the projections.

Based on the above, Management estimates that the overall recoverable amount of the CGU is INR 1,023.4 Million against a carrying cost of INR 1,184.8 Million.

54 Impact of COVID-19 on Business Operations

The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on 11th March 2020, leading to series of measures by countries across the world to contain the spread of the virus. India responded by imposing a nationwide lockdown on 24th March 2020. The process of lifting of lockdown in various states has since started in phases, effective 1st June, 2020, guided by the decision of individual states. During a major part of this period, hotel and flight operations were mandated to remain nonoperational, which affected business at our hotels and other operations across India. Similar restrictions in other countries affected business at our hotels from various international markets.

The Management’s priority in dealing with the exceptional challenges posed by COVID-19 has been to ensure the safety of its guests and employees, support suppliers, keep the supply chain operational for essential supplies.

The consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business for the financial year ended 31st March, 2020 is limited, as business was impacted only in the latter half of March 2020. Several cost rationalisation measures have been initiated subsequent to the year end and are being monitored.

The Management does not foresee any stress on liquidity, as it has access to sanctioned borrowing facilities for working capital requirements, worth INR 4,500 Million, of which INR 2,634.7 Million was unutilized as on 31st March, 2020. Our bankers have sanctioned additional unsecured short term limit of INR 1,000 million, taking the total short term borrowing facility to INR 5,500 Million.

In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Management has considered the impact from a prolonged lock-down situation; travel restrictions being continued to be imposed by India and other countries even after lifting of the lockdown, guests postponing their discretionary spending, continued restrictions on the number of domestic and international flights, internal and external information available up to the date of approval of these financial statements including credit reports and economic forecasts.

The Management has also assessed the potential impact of COVID-19 on the carrying value of property, plant & equipment, right of use assets, intangible assets, investment property, investments, trade receivables, inventories, and other current assets appearing in the financial statements of the Company as on 31st March, 2020 and has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current indicators of future economic conditions, expects to recover the carrying amounts of these assets. The impact of COVID-19 may be different from that estimated on the date of approval of these financial statements and the Management will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

With respect to business in financial year ending 31st March, 2021, the impact on revenue could come from a prolonged lock-down situation, travel restrictions being continued to be imposed by India and other countries even after lifting of the lockdown and guests postponing their discretionary spending.

Domestic airlines have commenced operations from 25th May, 2020 with one-third capacity approved by the Government which is expected to gradually increase over the months going forward, and the timing of commencement of international airlines is yet to be announced by the Government. Hotels in most locations have been allowed to resume operations effective 8th June, 2020, with the balance expecting to open by 1st July 2020.

Based on enquiries received, assessments performed and analysis of market trends, the Management expects demand to gradually pick for Domestic leisure and business travel, social events within prescribed norms, and limited international travel once international airlines are allowed to commence operations.

The printing press of the Company received special permission from the Government to operate amidst the lockdown from 1st May, 2020 as it supports essential services like banks, pharmaceuticals and food.

The revised projections for financial year ending 31st March, 2021 have been prepared taking into account best estimates based on these factors and other variables, although a clearer picture shall emerge only in due course.

55 The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26th June, 2020.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To

The Members of EIH Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of EIH Limited (”the Parent”) and its subsidiaries, (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) which includes the Group’s share of loss in its associates and joint ventures, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures referred to in the Other Matters section below, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (‘Ind AS’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2020, and their consolidated profit, their consolidated total comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and their consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its associates and joint ventures in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the sub-paragraph (a) of the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

Material uncertainty related to Going Concern of a Subsidiary Company

With regard to one of the subsidiaries, i.e. EIH Flight Services Limited (EIHFSL), Mauritius, the other audit, as referred to in the Other Matters section below, has in their audit report dated May 06, 2020 on the subsidiary’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020 reported a material uncertainty related to going concern, as EIHFSL has incurred a net loss of INR 34.03 million during the year ended March 31, 2020 and, as of that date, has a shareholder’s deficit of INR 156.52 million and its total liabilities exceeded total assets. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 54, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the EIHFSL’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

Sr. No.	Key Audit Matter	Auditors’ Response
1	Impairment of Goodwill relating to EIH International Limited (EIL) EIL, a subsidiary, is audited by component auditors. Note 4B, of the consolidated fnancial statements includes goodwill amounting to INR 3,577.84 million pertaining to EIL. As detailed in the above note, Management has carried out a valuation considering various factors and assumptions through an external specialist, and concluded that the recoverable value of goodwill was higher than the carrying value. Due to the multitude of factors and assumptions involved in determining the forecasted revenues/ cash fows and discount rate in the projection period, signifcant judgments are required to estimate the recoverable value. Hence this is considered as a key audit matter	Principal audit procedures performed: • We have understood and tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the management controls over the assessment and conclusion over the impairment evaluation with regard to the goodwill arising from consolidation. • We had discussions with the component auditors in regard to the impairment evaluation of goodwill pertaining to EIL. Also, we have sent out referral instructions to the component auditors and evaluated the responses received from them. The procedures performed by the component auditors and which were evaluated by us are as follows: • Component audit team have received the external management specialist’s valuation report of EIH International Limited (EIL), and considered as part of their impairment testing over the Goodwill and other assets of the EIL and evaluated the professional qualifications of the external specialist as regards their experience, competence and skill in developing the necessaryvaluation model.

1	Impairment of Goodwill relating to EIH International Limited (EIL)	Principal audit procedures performed: Contd. • Component audit team have assessed the reasonability of the underlying cash fow forecasts prepared by the Company’s management and as considered by the external specialist in their valuation, and compared the same with the Company’s internal budgets to assess if the assumptions and growth trends accurately refect the current market conditions and business strategy. Component audit team have also evaluated how the historical budgeting inaccuracies have been taken into account in the forecasted cash fows. As part of this component audit team have held discussions with the President of International Operations and Vice President of International Finance and considered market data and industry forecasts, in assessing the reasonability of these fgures. • Component audit team have also assessed the appropriateness of the assumptions used in the model such as discount rates and terminal growth rates by comparing to third party sources. • The component audit team has tested the mathematical and clerical accuracy of the model to conclude that the model is accurately calculating the value in use using the appropriate methodology. • The component audit team have added additional consideration in light of the COVID 19 pandemic as to the impact on the valuation model, noting that the assumptions made in year 1 of the value in use model, do not have a material impact on the headroom of the model. The audit team’s sensitivity analysis considered a slower return to industry ‘normality’ than that adopted by management, noting that significant headroom remains in the impairment assessment.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Parent’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Directors’ report including annexures to the Directors’ Report, Report on Corporate Governance, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, compare with the financial statements of the subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates audited by the other auditors, to the extent it relates to these entities and, in doing so, place reliance on the work of the other auditors and consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Other information so far as it relates to the subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, is traced from their financial statements audited by the other auditors.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Parent’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated changes in equity of the Group including its Associates and joint ventures in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and its associates and its joint ventures and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group (and of its associates and joint ventures) are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate their respective entities 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 and of its associates and joint ventures are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates and joint ventures.

(CONSOLIDATED)

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Parent 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 the 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 and its associates and joint ventures 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 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 and its associates and joint ventures to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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 and its associates and joint ventures to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities or business activities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities or business activities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by the 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.

179

(CONSOLIDATED)

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent and such other entities included in the consolidated 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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

(a) We did not audit the financial statements of 9 subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect total assets of INR 8942.38 million as at March 31, 2020, total revenues of INR 1243.45 million and net cash out flows amounting to INR 369.43 million for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements also include the Group’s share of net loss of INR 147.28 million for the year ended March 31, 2020, as considered in the consolidated financial statements, in respect of 2 associates and 1 joint venture, whose financial statements have not been audited by us. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, and our report in terms of subsection (3) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
(b) The Parent’s management was able to perform year end physical verification of inventories, only at certain units prior to the year end. We were able to physically observe the physical stock verification at one unit before the year end. On account of COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions, physical verification of inventories was performed by the management at certain units subsequent to the year end. We were not able to physically observe the stock verification. Consequently, we have performed alternate procedures to audit the existence of inventory as per the guidance provided in SA501 “Audit Evidence – Specific Considerations for Selected Items” and have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence. Our report is not modified in respect of this matter

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Opinion

In our opinion to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of other auditors referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies and joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on “the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India”.

Notes to Accounts

General Information

EIH Limited is a Company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in India having its Registered Office at 4, Mangoe Lane, Kolkata-700 001. The Company is primarily engaged in owning and managing premium luxury hotels and cruisers under the luxury ‘Oberoi’ and ‘Trident’ brands. The Group is also engaged in flight catering, airport restaurants, project management and corporate air charters.

The Consolidated financial statements relate to EIH Limited (‘the Company’), its subsidiary companies, jointly controlled entities and associates as referred in Note 50 (collectively referred as “the Group”).

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements of EIH Limited. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

a) Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 as a going concern on accrual basis.

(ii) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following: • equity investments in entities other than subsidiary, joint ventures and associate which are measured at fair value; • defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value • customer loyalty programs
(iii) Use of estimates

In preparing the Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of Financial Statements and the amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to such estimates is recognised in the period the same is determined.

b) Principles of consolidation and equity accounting

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.

The group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. InterGroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

(ii) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control.

This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 5o% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.

(iii) Joint arrangements

Under Ind AS in Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group has joint ventures.

190

(CONSOLIDATED)

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

Joint ventures

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see (iv) below), after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.

(iv) Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the group’s share of other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

The carrying amount of equity accounted investments are tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in note 6 below.

(v) Changes in ownership interests

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity.

When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

c) Revenue recognition

(i) Performance obligation in contract with customers are met throughout the stay of guest in the hotel or on rendering of services and sale of goods.
(ii) Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of trade allowances, rebates, value added taxes, Goods & Service Tax and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
(iii) Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
(iv) Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Timing of revenue recognition from major business activities

Hospitality Services: Revenue from hospitality services is recognised when the services are rendered and the same becomes chargeable.
Sale of printed material: Revenue from sale of printed and other materials is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the materials have been passed on to the buyer which usually coincides with the dispatch of materials.
Others: Revenue from Shop License Fee, Management and Marketing Fee included under “Other Services” is recognised on accrual basis as per terms of the contract.
Revenue in respect of customer loyalty are recognized when loyalty points are redeemed by the customers or on its expiry.

d) Foreign currencies

(i) Presentation Currency

This Financial Statement is presented in INR which is the Functional Currency of the Group.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Effective April 1, 2018, the Group has adopted Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which clarifies the date of transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to be used on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effect on account of adoption of this amendment is insignificant.

Sales made in any currency other than the functional currency of the Group are converted at the prevailing applicable exchange rate. Gain/Loss arising out of fluctuations in exchange rate is accounted for on realization or translation into the reporting currency of the corresponding receivables at the year end.

Revenue expenditure of all the overseas sales offices are converted at the average exchange rate for the year. Assets and liabilities other than non-monetary assets are converted at the exchange rate prevailing at the close of the accounting year and Fixed Assets are converted at the month-end exchange rate of the month of acquisition.

(iii) Group Companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the dosing rate.

e) Income tax

Current income tax is recognized based on the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted on the date of balance sheet.

192

(CONSOLIDATED)

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

f) Deferred Tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the separate financial statements, using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or prescribed on the date of balance sheet.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) is accounted for in accordance with tax laws which give rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against which future income tax liability is adjusted and is recognised as deferred tax asset in the Balance Sheet.

g) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the respective entities.

h) Leases

Effective April 1, 2019, the Group has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, comparative information as at and for the year ended March 31, 2019 has not been restated. The impact of adoption of the standard on financial statements of the Company has been disclosed in the notes to accounts.

On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to certain leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of Ind AS 17, Leases. These liabilities have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the company’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 April 2019.

As a lessee :

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, building and vehicle leases. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contact involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

193

(CONSOLIDATED)

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liabilities and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

As a lessor :

i) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset or cash generating unit and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. In case of such reversal, the carrying amount of the asset is increased so as not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had there been no impairment loss.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cash at bank and other deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

l) Inventories

m) Investments and other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss) – those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

194

(CONSOLIDATED)

Notes to Accounts — Contd.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the statement of profit or loss.

(a) Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit and loss

(b) Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) such as investments, advances and security deposits held at amortised cost and financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are tested for impairment based on evidence or information that is available without undue cost or effort. The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

The Group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

(v) Income recognition

Interest income: Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses

Dividend income: Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

n)

Financial Liabities

o) Property, plant and equipment

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use on the reporting date and materials at site.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment other than land and the hotel buildings is provided on ‘Straight Line Method’ based on useful life.

The hotel buildings are depreciated equally over the balance useful life ascertained by independent technical expert, which ranges between 23 years and 55 years with effect from March 31, 2019 and the total useful life of the buildings are higher than those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act; 2013. The management believes that the balance useful lives so assessed best represent the periods over which the hotel buildings are expected to be in use. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each financial year.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/(losses).

p) Intangible assets

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Other Intangible Assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and net of impairments, if any. An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its Intangible assets recognised as at 1 April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the Intangible assets.

q) Investment Property

r) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

s) Borrowing costs

t) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Contingent liabilities are disclosed only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events due to occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are provided for.

Contingent assets where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.

u) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

(ii) Post-employment obligations

The Group operates the following post-employment schemes:

Gratuity obligations –

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Leave encashment on termination of service –

Provident Fund –

The Group pays provident fund contributions to a fund administered by Government Provident Fund Authority. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

v) Dividends

Liability is created for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity.

w) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Group
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year,

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the number of equity shares used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
the weighted average number of equity shares including additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares happened.

x) Government grants/incentives

Government grants/incentives that the Group is entitled to on fulfilment of certain conditions, but are available to the Group only on completion of some other conditions, are recognized as income at fair value on completion of such other conditions.
Grants/incentives that the Group is entitled to unconditionally on fulfilment of certain conditions, such grants are recognized at fair value as income when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received.

y) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest millions as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

2 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

3 SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

A. Significant estimates :

i) Useful Life of Hotel Buildings

EIH Limited, Mumtaz Hotels Limited and Mashobra Resort Limited have adopted useful life of fixed assets as stipulated by Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013 except for the hotel buildings for computing depreciation. In the case of the hotel buildings of these companies, due to superior structural condition, management decided to assess the balance useful life by independent technical expert. As per the certificates of the technical expert, the balance useful life of the hotel buildings ranges between 23 years and 55 years with effect from March 31, 2020 and the total useful life of the buildings are higher than those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The carrying amount of the hotel building is being depreciated over its residual life.

ii) Recognition of Revenue (customer loyalty programs)

The group is running certain customer loyalty programs for which revenue is being deferred on the basis of total loyalty points/ complimentary nights outstanding. As required by Ind AS 18, while calculating fair value of the loyalty points/complimentary nights, expected lapses are also considered by the group (loyalty points/complimentary nights which will not be redeemed by the customers). On the basis of past trend, a significant portion of the loyalty points/ complimentary nights has been estimated to be lapsed. Estimated lapse ratio is periodically evaluated by the group and in case there is any change in the trend, the deferred revenue is adjusted accordingly. The fair value of loyalty points/ complimentary nights is calculated on the basis of relative benefit passed on to the customers.

B. Judgements :

i) Advance towards Equity Shares

In the case of Mashobra Resort Limited (“MRL”), several disputes with the Government of Himachal Pradesh, the joint venture partner, were referred by the High Court of Himachal Pradesh on 17th December, 2003 to an arbitral tribunal consisting of a single arbitrator whose award has been challenged by both the EIH Ltd. and MRL, amongst others. The operation of the arbitration award was stayed pending substantive hearing of the applications by the High Court. Consequently, the status quo ante of the entire matter was restored to the position as on 17th December, 2003 and the hotel is being operated by MRL accordingly. EIH Ltd. vide its letter dated 4th April, 2012 requested MRL to account for the entire amount of INR 1,361.93 Million provided to MRL upto 31st March, 2012 as ‘Advance Towards Equity’, including INR 130.00 Million being the opening balance of ‘Advance Towards Equity’. In view of the above, EIH Ltd. has shown the said amount of INR 1,361.93 Million as ‘Advance Towards Equity’ under Other non-current financial assets in its books of account.

The High Court passed an order dated 25th February, 2016 which was made available to the Company in the month of May 2016. The Court has decided not to interfere with the order of the Arbitrator. EIH Ltd. amongst others, preferred an appeal before the Division Bench of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh. By an order dated 27th June, 2016 the Division Bench stayed the Single Judge Order dated 25th February, 2016 and directed the parties to maintain status quo till the matter is finally heard and disposed off. Final hearing is yet to commence.

ii) Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

The Group has ongoing litigations with various regulatory authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in notes to the financial statements.

In 2020, the recoverable amount of the hotel ownership, operation and management CGU was determined using a value-in-use calculation based on cash flow projections and financial budgets approved by senior management.

The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculation are the forecast earnings, management fees, sales and marketing fees receivable from the CGU, the discount rate applied to the projected cash flows and the growth rate assumption on the value-in-use calculation.

A range of discount rates were considered and applied to the cash flow projections, from 11% to 12.5% and cash flows beyond the five-year period were projected using a terminal growth rate ranging from 3.0% to 3.5%, which is consistent with the long-term average growth rate of the industry.

None of the scenarios tested resulted in an impairment of the carrying value of the assets of the CGU or the Group’s intangible assets.

(ii) Fair Value hierarchy

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, mutual funds, that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, etc.

(iii) Assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost for which fair values are disclosed

All the financial asset and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, carrying value is an approximation of their respective fair value.

(iv) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

Investment in Green Infra Wind Generation Limited and ReNew Wind Energy (Karnataka) Pvt. Ltd., are made pursuant to the contract for procuring electricity supply at the hotels units. Investment in said companies is not usually traded in market. Considering the terms of the electricity supply contract and best information available in the market, cost of investment is considered as fair value of the investments.
For the investment in Golden Jubilee Hotels Private Limited (GJHPL), the management was of the view that carrying value of the investment is representative of its fair value as on April 01, 2015. As on April 01, 2015, no indicators of impairment was existing. However, during the financial year 2015-16, due to the non-payment of bank borrowings and other obligation, petition for the winding up has been filed by the creditors and lenders of the GJHPL. Considering the financial position of the GJHPL and legal proceedings initiated by lenders, the management has fully provided for the investment in GJHPL as on March 31, 2016.

(v) Reconciliation of financial assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)

41 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (i.e., currency risk, interest rate risk and market price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the Group is exposed to and how the Group manages the risk.

The company’s risk management is carried out by a treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Company Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the company’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(A) Market risk

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the respective companies’ functional currency.

The exposure of the Group to foreign currency risk is not significant. However, this is closely monitored by the Management to decide on the requirement of hedging. The position of foreign currency exposure to the Group as at the end of the year expressed in INR are as follows :

(ii) Interest rate risk

The exposure of the Group’s borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period depends on the mix of fixed rate and floating rate of the borrowings and the expected movement of market interest rate. The status of borrowings in terms of fixed rate and floating rate are as follows:

Variable rate borrowings	3,286.26	4,650.17
Fixed rate borrowings	1,475.00	755.00
Total borrowings	4,761.26	5,405.17

As at the end of the reporting period, the group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:

Holding all other variables constant

(iii) Price risk

The Group’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group in equity securities and classified in the balance sheet as at fair value through profit or loss (Note 5). However, Group does not have a practice of investing in equity securities with a view to earn fair value changes gain. As per the Group policies, whenever any investment is made by the Group company in equity securities, the same is made either with some strategic objective or as a part of contractual arrangement.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a counter party defaults on contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the group.

Trade receivables consist of large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. In order to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaulters, the Group companies has an ongoing credit evaluation process in respect of customers who are allowed credit period. In respect of walk-in customers the Group companies do not allow any credit period and therefore, is not exposed to any credit risk.

The Group does not have any derivative transaction and therefore is not exposed to any credit risk on account of derivatives.

42 (i) POST-EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS

a) Gratuity (India)

The Group provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. Gratuity plan is a funded plan and the group through Gratuity Trust makes contribution of funds to Life Insurance Corporation of India.

b) Gratuity (Mauritius)

The Group provides for gratuity for employees in Mauritius under the Employment Rights Act, 2008. The gratuity plan is an unfunded defined benefit plan.

c) Leave Obligation (India)

As per the policy of the company, leave obligations can be settled in cash only at the time of separation of employees with the group. The leave obligations cover the company’s liability for earned leaves encashable at the time of termination/retirement of employees. It’s a unfunded plan.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

Sensitivities due to Demographic and Investment are not material and hence the impact of change due to these is not disclosed

(vi) Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, The company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase

Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation

Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

(vii) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

Expected contributions to post employment benefit plan for the year ending 31 March 2021 are INR 132.51 million.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is between 7-25 years (2019 - 7 years) in case of Gratuity and between 7-18 years (2019- 8 years) in case of Leave encashment.

The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity and leave encashment is as follows: Rupees Million

(x) Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, The group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: Interest Risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability, however, this may be partially offset by a decrease in inflationary pressures on the salary increased. Salary Risk: : The Plan liability is calculated by reference to the future projected salaries of plan participants. As such an increase in the salary of the plan participants above the assumed rate will increase the plan liability whereas an increase below the assumed rate will decrease the liability.

	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation	Impact on defned beneft obligation
	Change in assumption		Increase in assumption		Decrease in assumption
	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019
Discount rate	1.00% 1.00% (4.71) (19.38) 5.42 4.72

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

45 Leases

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing a lease liability at the date of initial application at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the company’s incremental borrowing rate and recognizing a right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application. Comparatives as at and for the year ended March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies included as part of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.

On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of ‘Right of Use’ asset of INR 3,894.95 million from leases that were earlier classified as operating lease and ‘Right of Use’ asset of INR 683.06 million from leases that were earlier classified as finance lease aggregating to total ‘Right of Use’ asset of INR 4,578.01 million and a lease liability of INR 1,627.71 million from leases that were earlier classified as operating lease and lease liability of INR 95.63 million from leases that were earlier classified as finance lease aggregating to total lease liability of INR 1,723.34 million. Further the effect of this adoption has also resulted in the following as on 1 April 2019:

Property, plant and equipment decreased by INR 683.06 million
Deferred tax liabilities (net) increased by INR 3.60 million
Prepayments decreased by INR 2,267.24 million
Borrowings and other financial liabilities decreased by INR 70.38 million and INR 35.54 million respectively.

The cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in INR 6.69 million (net of tax) being credited to retained earnings as on transition date.

45 Leases – Contd.

The nature of expenses in respect of operating leases has changed from lease rent to depreciation and amortisation on right-of-use asset and finance cost for interest accrued on lease liability. Consequently, Finance Costs and Depreciation for the year ended March 31, 2020, are higher by INR 119.68 million and INR 142.17 million respectively and Other Expenses are lower by INR 135.40 million as a result of which, Profit before tax is lower by INR 126.45 million

Ind AS 116 has resulted in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.

The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

(a) Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date
(b) Relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review - there were no onerous contracts as at 1st April 2019
(c) Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application
(d) Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application
(e) Using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease

The difference between the operating lease obligation disclosed as of March 31, 2019 under Ind AS 17 disclosed under Note 45 of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the value of the lease liability as of April 1, 2019 is primarily on account of following reasons :

54. In case of EIH Flight Services Limited, Mauritius (EIHFS)

As at 31 March 2020, EIHFS was in a shareholder’s deficit position of INR 156.52 million (2019 - INR 133.36 million), in a net current liability position of INR 131.62 million (2019 - INR 41.47 million) and for the year ended 31 March 2020, EIHFS has incurred a loss of INR 34.03 million (2019- Profit INR 0.08 million). EIHFS has a bank overdraft facility of INR 48.02 million to meet its day-to-day working capital requirements. At 31 March 2020, the overdraft balance was INR 8.86 million (2019 - INR Nil). EIHFS will need to make instalments payments on its borrowings, including interest INR 123.17 million by 31 March 2021. EIHFS has been in discussion with the bank to renegotiate the terms of the loans, including a capital moratorium. However, the final details are expected to be agreed once the confinement period is over. Nevertheless, due to the parent Company (EIH Limited) being the corporate guarantor in the Company’s loan contract with the bank, the management of EIHFS is of the view that if they are unable to meet the loan repayment, they will be able to resort to the financial support of the parent. The management of EIHFS has also considered the implications of the global outbreak of the corona virus (“COVID-19”) on its activities and financial performance. COVID-19 has raised a number of uncertainties due to the judgement required to estimate the extent to which this pandemic may persist and its related impact on international travel and viability of the Company’s main clients, i.e. the airlines. While the management of EIHFS acknowledges that there is a certain degree of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the management of EIHFS is comfortable that the Company will continue into operations for at least the next twelve months and as such, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

India responded by imposing a nationwide lockdown on 24th March 2020. The process of lifting of lockdown in various states has since started in phases, effective 1st June, 2020, guided by the decision of individual states. During a major part of this period, hotel and flight operations were mandated to remain non-operational, which affected business at our hotels and other operations across India. Similar restrictions in other countries affected business at our hotels from various international markets.

The consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Group’s business for the financial year ended 31st March, 2020 is limited, as business was impacted only in the latter half of March 2020. Several cost rationalisation measures have been initiated subsequent to the year end and are being monitored.

The Management does not foresee any stress on the Group’s liquidity, as Companies within the Group either have access to sufficient unutilised sanctioned borrowing facilities for working capital requirements or have sufficient cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances as on 31st March, 2020, as the case may be.

The Management has also assessed the potential impact of COVID-19 on the carrying value of property, plant & equipment, right of use assets, intangible assets, investment property, investments, trade receivables, inventories, and other current assets appearing in the financial statements of the Group as on 31st March, 2020 and has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current indicators of future economic conditions, expects to recover the carrying amounts of these assets. The impact of COVID-19 may be different from that estimated on the date of approval of these financial statements and the Management will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

With respect to business in financial year ending 31st March, 2021, the impact on revenue could come from a prolonged lockdown situation; travel restrictions being continued to be imposed by India and other countries even after lifting of the lockdown and guests postponing their discretionary spending.

The printing press of the parent Company received special permission from the Government to operate amidst the lockdown from 1st May, 2020 as it supports essential services like banks, pharmaceuticals and food.

56. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26th June, 2020.
