Chairman's Message
Dear Stakeholders
n the last one year, all of us have been through the most turbulent times ever witnessed in our memory. The Covid-19 pandemic, which started in early 2020, has impacted everyone's life in different ways. The impact of Covid-19 pandemic was felt by the world economies across the nations, societies, industries and sectors without any exception. Panacea Biotec too had its own share of impact due to lockdowns imposed, restricted movements across states and some of the employees getting affected due to Covid-19. We formed internal task force to ensure our production and supplies continue unaffected. We took appropriate safety measures to create a safe work environment for our employees across manufacturing sites and other offices. Our teams also took various measures to ensure availability of life-saving medicines to patients in India and international markets. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Panaceans for their exemplary commitment, resilience and cooperative spirit shown during these challenging times. I
The year 2020 has been a humbling year - we saw the best in humanity came together. It also reminded us that no success or achievement in material terms is worthwhile, unless it serves the needs or interests of the humanity at large and the same is achieved by fair and honest means. Today, that's why we are thinking bigger than delivering inspiration and innovation. To best serve the world at large, we are also bringing the best of Panacea Biotec to respond to some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
I am happy to share that despite all the challenges, Company's consolidated revenue from operations have increased by ~15% to ₹ 6,248 million in FY2021, driven by TM increased sales of hexavalent vaccine EasySix in private market in India, supply of pentavalent vaccine Easyve-TT® to UNICEF and PAHO and increased exports of our pharmaceutical products to ICH and ROW markets.
Our US business saw many upheavals during the year – marked by regulatory oversight, managing partners and product relaunches; a reboot of the US business was made necessary with supply chain challenges and increased market competition. With deeper collaboration and crossfunctional management, we have led to a new beginning and are better focused through a diversied supply chain and evolved product portfolio.
In the Indian Vaccine market, we have been amongst the top 4 vaccine manufacturers in India. In Indian Pharmaceutical market, Panacea Biotec Pharma is ranked th in the 10 position in its represented Therapeutic Markets and is amongst the Top 65 pharmaceutical companies in the overall Indian Pharmaceutical Market as per the AIOCD AWACS (MAT March 2021) sales data.
During the year, your Company has received 7 new registrations in existing markets and led 43 new dossiers in existing and new markets thereby laying a strong foundation of growth in the coming years. Our teams continue to be focused on expanding our presence in Emerging Markets through partnerships with local distributors, launching products in the US and introducing new branded formulations in India. As part of our growth strategy for international markets, we are in the process to le new dossiers in Germany through our subsidiary, Panacea Biotec Germany GmbH to expand our product portfolio in Germany and other EU countries. Your Company continues to be amongst the leading companies in providing high-quality life-saving medicines to transplant, oncology and diabetes patients. We are proud to share that PacliALL [Paclitaxel (protein bound) particle for injection] has completed a decade of Evidence, Excellence and Experience in the treatment of breast cancer patients.
Your Company has always been at forefront in brand building, through healthcare professionals' engagement

& patient care. We have strengthened our 'Best On Health' platform (24x7 helpline & door step medicine delivery) to ensure availability of life-saving medicines and support for transplant patients. We have provided essential tools including the masks and sanitizers to health care professionals for their safety and protection.
Your Company has made signicant progress in manufacturing and supply of vaccines for Covid-19 from our state-of-the-art facilities at Lalru and Baddi in collaboration with RDIF. This is a critical milestone and provides an opportunity to serve mankind again like we did for the eradication of Polio over the last two decades. Our collaboration with RDIF to manufacture Sputnik V and Sputnik Light vaccines will help provide access to this critical vaccine in India and globally.
Research and Development has always been at the core of our endeavor to protect infants from preventable diseases and provide access to life-saving pharmaceutical treatment to patients. We have a strong pipeline of innovative vaccines including Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, Recombinant Tetravalent Dengue Candidate Vaccine amongst others. I am happy to share that your Company has successfully completed & submitted Clinical Study Reports pertaining to Phase I clinical trial of 11-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, NucoVac® and Phase I/II clinical trial of Recombinant Tetravalent Dengue Candidate Vaccine, DengiALL® to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI). We are also gearing up to undertake Phase II/ III trials for NucoVac® and Phase III trial for DengiALL® shortly. In Pharmaceuticals, we continue to build a strong portfolio of products for domestic and international markets including the complex and difficult to develop generics for ICH countries and introducing products for the treatment of COVID patients in India.
Your Company has always believed in creating and protecting our intellectual property, patents, copyrights and trademarks. We have a strong portfolio of intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and copyrights in both vaccines and pharmaceutical formulations business. We continue on this journey of developing our own intellectual property by actively investing in research and development and collaborating with academia to address the unmet medical needs of patients.
We provide meaningful opportunities for learning and growth and continuously encourage our employees to widen their horizon for professional growth. Learning at Panacea Biotec is a self-led journey. The Company believes that learning is a continuous process where an individual identies what needs to be learnt to drive personal and organizational growth. We aim to create a culture of high performance where people continue to push boundaries of growth and self-development.
We have in place a detailed strategic plan to achieve signicant growth in short, medium and long term. The key growth drivers would include scaling up of the existing products and launch of new products and penetrating into newer markets in both vaccines and pharmaceutical formulations business.
Although the future is full of unlimited possibilities for us, as an organization we shall continue to innovate, integrate our efforts and capabilities and continuously motivate our teams to outperform. At Panacea Biotec, we lead and as we challenge ourselves to always do better and think bigger, we can and will create the future we want to see. Let's all gear up and prepare for the better days ahead which is not very far away.
With these words, I express my sincere thanks to all our board members, government authorities, employees and partners for their unhindered support with which we continue to forge ahead to "Enable Better Health, Live Well and Live Longer".
Best wishes
Soshil Kumar Jain

Key Strengths

Management Discussion & Analysis
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS
Global Vaccine Market
Vaccination is one of the most important health interventions introduced globally, providing a cost-effective way of protecting infants, children and the population at large from a range of serious illnesses and debilitating complications associated with vaccine-preventable diseases. According to UNICEF, immunization programs have helped in saving more than ve lives every minute – preventing up to 3 million deaths a year. Immunization has largely reduced the incidence of diseases like measles, polio, small pox etc.
Global vaccine market is estimated to be around US\$ 30 billion in 2020 – of which self-procuring high-income countries (HIC), middle-income countries (MIC) and private market vaccines account for US\$ 25 billion (85% of the market) and vaccine supply for public immunization contributes to US\$ 5 billion (WHO Global Vaccine Market Report 2019). While HICs and few MICs are able to meet their domestic demand of vaccines, a large number of low and middle income countries (LMICs) rely on affordable vaccines supplied by United Nation's Children Fund (UNICEF) and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
Indian Vaccine Market
India is the vaccine manufacturing epicenter of the world with more than 80% of the volume demand for domestic and international markets being served by few Indian manufacturers. The Indian vaccine industry has been instrumental not only in facilitating cost-effective vaccination in India, but also supplying vaccines to majority of the developing and underdeveloped world. The size of the Indian vaccine industry is approximately US\$ 1.45 billion in 2020, projected to grow to US\$ 2.9 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of approximately 15%. The Indian vaccine market has registered signicant growth in recent years due to several factors including technical advancements, improved storage facilities with cold chain maintenance, increased production

capacity, increased government support in research and development through different agencies and increasing awareness among the consumers.
The vaccine industry has a high entry barrier owing to high research intricacy, sophisticated scientic know-how and capital-intensive manufacturing capacity creation.
Private vaccine market in India is valued at US\$ 300 million. Private vaccination currently has a small coverage, accounting for only 10-15% of the total volume but substantially higher price realization in the private market make it an attractive segment for vaccine companies. Private vaccination coverage is also growing in line with rising disposable income of the middle-class and awareness on preventive health measures.
Vaccine exports from India was around US\$ 760 million in 2020. Indian vaccine companies export vaccines to more than 150 countries. According to GAVI data, India accounted for a dominant 60% of their vaccine volume supply in 2020.
Global Pharmaceutical Market
The global pharmaceutical market scaled US\$ 1,265 billion in 2020 and is expected to touch US\$ 1,600 billion by 2025 (Source: IQVIA (2021), Global Medicine Spending and Usage Trends). The overall market is expected to grow at a pace of 3-6% through 2025 – with the relatively mature North American and European markets growing at 0-3% and 3-5% respectively and emerging markets at 7-10%. North America contributed nearly 50% to the total market and Europe 23.9%. The industry contributed US\$ 532 billion directly to global GDP in 2017. It has created 5.5 million jobs directly and supported additional 45 million jobs along the supply chain, in the same year (Source: WifOR (2020), The Global Economic Impact of Pharmaceutical Industry).
WHO reported a continuous rise of global spending on health during time period 2000 and 2018, with spending in 2018 touching US\$ 8.3 trillion, nearly 10% of global GDP (WHO: Global Spending on Health: Weathering the storm, 2020). Despite Covid-19 led subdued growth in 2020 and 2021, it is expected that in 2021, the global medicine spending will touch US\$ 1,331 billion. The mid-term outlook outlines optimism with global spending expected to soon revert to pre-Covid levels.
Rising Pharmaceutical R&D Expenditure – Potential to Drive Growth of Market: Past decade has witnessed multifold increase in pharma R&D expenditure globally. In 2019, total pharmaceutical R&D expenditure was estimated to exceed US\$ 83 billion in US (Source: Congressional Budget Office, 2021) and EUR 37 billion in Europe. The expanding capital pool for R&D investment in US has also led to 60% increase in number of new drugs approvals from 2010 to 2019, with a record number of 59 approvals in 2018.

Indian Pharmaceutical Market
Indian pharmaceutical industry is estimated to account for 3% to 3.5% of the global pharmaceutical industry in terms of value at US\$ 44.6 billion. India is self-sufficient in drug formulations; and the industry is spurred by both - a high growth domestic market as well as dominant presence in global pharmaceutical exports. As of year ended March 2021, Indian industry's pharmaceutical exports scaled to US\$ 24.4 billion. During the same period, the domestic pharmaceutical market breached US\$ 20.2 billion. Globally, the industry is ranked third in terms of volume share and fourteenth in terms of value share. Being a heavily generics oriented industry, the volume share is higher compared to value share.
Drug formulations and biologicals make the highest contribution (77%) in the pharmaceutical exports from India and has also registered the highest YoY growth amongst all categories. Growth of the segment has been driven by India's strong foothold in the global generics and vaccines supply - India is the largest supplier of generic medicines globally (20 to 22% of the global export volume) and also the largest supplier of vaccines for global public health supply.
Geographically, North America is a major export market for India, with USA contributing to 95% of export business. India
contributes to 40% of the demand of generic medicines in the USA. Tailing North America, Africa is the s e cond l a rge st r egion for pharmaceutical exports, with South Africa contributing 17% to the region's demand. In FY21, exports to Africa grew by 13.4% as against 2.2% growth during previous scal year FY20. Exports
to Europe also grew by 11% as compared to 4.56% during the previous scal year. Non-traditional markets such as Latin America, Middle East etc. have also emerged as important export destinations and Indian suppliers have been able to increase their foothold in these geographies.
Indian export business outpaces global pharma growth: Indian pharmaceutical companies exhibited great resilience during the pandemic year and contributed towards record export gures, despite headwinds during the pandemic in the form of lockdowns and supply chain disruptions. Overall, Indian pharma industry's outlook for sustained growth in exports stays strong due to fundamental drivers including R&D str ength, qua l it y cons c iousne ss and cost competitiveness.
Production Linked Incentive Scheme: In a bid to counter the persistent business threat of low priced Chinese imports, the Government has introduced the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for domestic manufacture of several active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where import dependence is a threat to access to essential drugs as well as certain Key Starting Material (KSMs) and Drug Intermediates (DIs). With an overall outlay of US\$ 920 million, the scheme hopes to provide production linked incentives of 5% to 20% on revenue for the stipulated drugs including vaccines.
On account of Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) saw a modest growth rate of only 2% between March 2020 and March 2021. However, the overall mid-term outlook remains buoyant driven by several drivers for market expansion. The IPM will continue beneting from combination of factors such as rising income levels with steady economic growth, shift in disease proles and increasing burden of chronic diseases, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, improving access of healthcare in the hinterlands of the country, new launches by innovator companies and rapid healthcare digitalization across the country.
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic
Globally, Covid-19 led to an economic slowdown impacting most industries. Direct short-term impact of Covid-19 was seen in pharmaceutical supply chains globally which were affected due to travel restrictions. Delays and temporary halts were observed in clinical development pipeline of pharma majors globally and subsequent delay in regulatory approvals as the agencies were preoccupied with regulatory review of Covid-related medications and vaccines. Nation-wide lockdowns impacted the movement of people to hospitals
and access to clinical services and the spill-over effect was seen in the dip in sales of hospitaladministered medications and acute medicines. However, with most countries returning to normalcy now, the sector has bounced back, new regulatory approvals have picked-up pace. Illustratively, new drug approvals
by the US FDA from January to June 2021 were at an all-time high of 30 vs 25 approvals for the same period in 2020 and 13 in 2019 for the same period.
On the Indian front, pharmaceutical exports were not affected by Covid-19 and increased by 18.07% in FY 2020-21 from previous scal year. In the domestic pharmaceutical market, growth was modest at only 2% YoY compared to previous year's growth of 6%, however, long-term outlook remains positive as multiple growth drivers propel the segment. Immediate impact of Covid-19 and other geopolitical factors has been the government's and industry's focus on attaining self-sufficiency in API production and making the supply chains more resilient by reducing dependence on imports. Overall, the industry is poised for growth led by improving access to healthcare and more focus on preventive healthcare.

Weaknesses
- Long Gestation Period on R&D Projects: R&D projects involve longer development time and medium to high investment as is the norm in the vaccine and pharmaceutical industry. As a result of this, the present protability is affected whereas the output may come in medium to long term future periods.
- High Dependence on Institutional Business in Vaccine Segment: A signicant part of the vaccine business revenues comes from tender driven institutional business. Panacea Biotec has decided to focus on expanding into private markets in India as well as in ROW countries through strategic tie-ups to have a diverse sales base and reduce its dependence on institutional business.
- Revenue Concentration on Few Products: In vaccine segment, the revenue generation is mainly dependent on two products i.e. pentavalent and hexavalent vaccine. Any future disruption in any of these products may impact the future nancial performance.
- Higher level of Debt nancing: Currently, there is a higher level of debt in Panacea Biotec Pharma in the form of Non convertible debentures. However, Panacea Biotec is in the process of raising funds for partial reduction of debt.
Opportunities
- To improve Capacity Utilization
- New products in pipeline for Commercial Launch
- Use of in-house drug substance in place of the imported drug substance thereby reducing dependence on third party suppliers
Threats
Dependence on few imported suppliers in drug substance. However, Panacea Biotec is focusing on reducing its dependence on foreign suppliers by developing in-house drug substances at Lalru.
Price Control by Government: Pharmaceutical industry per-se is facing price control risk from the Government and the Government has been frequently xing the ceiling prices and bringing more and more products under the price control mechanism.

- Increasing Regulatory Compliances and Costs: International regulatory agencies like USFDA have started exercising greater controls and compliances. As a result of this, the cost of compliance has also started increasing. Many Indian companies have been disqualied by USFDA due to non-compliance with cGMP guidelines. However, the Company has been following the guidelines prescribed by USFDA and other regulatory agencies and save and except, recent observations / warning letter from USFDA which has been suitably responded / acted upon, Panacea Biotec has successfully passed USFDA audit thrice in last 4 years.
- Pricing pressure amid intense competition in the Pharmaceutical industry across the globe.
- High volatility in currency exchange rates may affect the Industry adversely.
- Risk of all R&D initiatives not leading to commercially viable and successful products.

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.

We have identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products as a key audit matter because revenue is a key performance indicator for the Company and there is risk of revenue being overstated due to the pressure to achieve targets or earning expectations. |

- 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
-
- Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
-
- As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 controlrelevantto the auditin orderto design audit proceduresthat 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 with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;
- • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
- • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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; and
- • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- 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 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
-
- As required by section 197(16) of the Act, based on our audit, we report that the Company has paid remuneration to its directors during the year in accordance with the provisions of and limits laid down under section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act.
-
- As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2016 ('the Order') issued by the Central Government of India in terms of section 143(11) of the Act, we give in the Annexure A, a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order.
-
- Further to our comments in Annexure A, as required by section 143(3) of the Act, based on our audit, we report, to the extent applicable, that:
- a) we have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit of the accompanying standalone financial statements;

- g) with respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor's Report in accordance with rule 11 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as amended), in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us:
- i. the Company, as detailed in note 41 to the standalone financial statements, has disclosed the impact of pending litigations on its financial position as at 31 March 2021;

Annexure To the Auditors' Report
Annexure B
Independent Auditor's Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act')
- In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of Panacea Biotec Limited ('the Company') as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company as at that date.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Internal Financial Controls
- The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Company's business, including adherence to the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
-
- Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI') prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting ('the Guidance Note') issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
-
- Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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 with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
- A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 controls with reference to financial statements include 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 with Reference to Financial Statements
- Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
- In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

1. Company information
Panacea Biotec Limited (Corporate identification number: L33117PB1984PLC022350) ('PBL' or the 'Company') is a public company incorporated and domiciled in India. The Company has its registered office and place of business at Ambala-Chandigarh Highway Lalru-140501, Punjab, India. The Company has been incorporated under the provisions of Indian Companies Act and its equity shares are listed with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
Company overview
The Company is one of India's leading research-based biotechnology companies engaged in the business of research, development, manufacture and marketing of vaccines in India and international markets. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary company viz. Panacea Biotec Pharma Ltd. is engaged in the business of research, development, manufacture and marketing of branded pharmaceutical formulations in India and international markets.
1.1 Basis of preparation
a. Statement of compliance
The standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time.
These standalone financial statements have been prepared for the Company as a going concern on the basis of relevant Ind AS that are effective at the Company's annual reporting date, March 31, 2021. These standalone financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company, along with these financial statements. The Board of Directors can permit revision to the standalone financial statements after obtaining necessary approvals or at the instance of regulatory authorities as per provisions of the Act.
b. Basis of measurement
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:
- • Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments); and
- • Defined benefit plans plan assets measured at fair value.
1.2 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.
Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in note 1.4.
1.3 Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies that are used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarised below. These accounting policies are consistently used throughout the periods presented in the standalone financial statements.
a. Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
- • Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle*
- • Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- • Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- • Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle*
- • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
*Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
b. Inventories
Inventories are valued as follows:
Raw material, stores and spares
Raw materials (including packing materials), stores and spares are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of raw materials, components and stores and spares is determined on a weighted average basis. Stores and spares having useful life of more than twelve months are capitalised as "Property, plant and equipment" and are depreciated prospectively over their remaining useful lives in accordance with Ind AS 16.
Work in progress and finished goods
Work in progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes raw material cost and a proportion of direct and indirect overheads up to estimated stage of completion. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Traded goods
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
c. Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and initial measurement
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment other than freehold land are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 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 attributable to such subsequent cost associated with the item will flow to the Company. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of repairs and maintenance are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date is disclosed as capital advances under non-current assets.
Capital work-in-progress included in property, plant and equipment are not depreciated as these assets are not yet available for use.
Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives)
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method arrived on the basis of the useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Act. The following useful life of assets has been determined by the Company:
| Particulars | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Building – Factory | 30 years |
| Building – Non-factory | 60 years |
| Plant and Equipment | 15 years and 20 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 10 years |
| Vehicles | 8 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 years and 6 years |
i) Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
ii) Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

iii) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the initial period of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Where, during any financial year, any addition has been made to any asset, or where any asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed, or significant components replaced; depreciation on such assets is calculated on a pro rata basis as individual assets with specific useful life from the month of such addition or, as the case may be, up to the month on which such asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed or replaced.
De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
d. Intangible assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Research and development costs
Expenditure on the research phase of projects is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly attributable to a project's development phase are recognised as intangible assets, provided the Company can demonstrate the following:
- • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use.
- • the management's intention is to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it
- • its ability to use or sell the intangible asset
- • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits
- • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
- • its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development
Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as and when incurred.
Directly attributable costs include employee costs incurred on development of prototypes along with an appropriate portion of relevant overheads and borrowing costs.
Other intangibles
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding product development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangible assets under development are not amortized as these assets are not yet available for use. These assets are evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis or when there are indications that the carrying value is not recoverable.
Subsequent measurement (Amortisation and useful lives)
All finite-lived intangible assets, including internally developed intangible assets, are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and any change in the same is accounted for prospectively. The following useful lives are applied:
| Particulars | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Patents, trademarks and designs | 7 years |
| Product development | 5 years |
| Technical know-how | 5 years |
| Software | 5 years |
| Websites | 2 years |
De-recognition
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
e. Investment properties
Recognition and initial measurement
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured initially at their cost of acquisition, including transaction costs. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.
Properties held under leases are classified as investment properties when it is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or for both, rather than for sale in the ordinary course of business or for use in production or administrative functions.
Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives)
Investment properties are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on investment properties is provided on the straight-line method over the lease period of the right-of-use assets.
Though, the Company measures investment properties using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model acceptable internationally.
De-recognition
Investment properties are de-recognized either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period of de-recognition.
f. Assets classified as held for sale
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. Assets classified as held-for-sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
g. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually; their recoverable amount is estimated annually each year at the reporting date.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the 'cashgenerating unit'). The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use or its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The goodwill acquired in a business combination is, for the purpose of impairment testing, allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Intangibles with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment individually.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
h. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing cost consists of interest, ancillary costs and other costs in connection with the borrowing and also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
i. Foreign and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currencies
Transactions and balances
Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at its functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Subsequent measurement
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e. translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.
All other exchange differences are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
j. Leases
Effective from April 1, 2019, the Company has applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 17.
As a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- The exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'Property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
k. Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial results are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period or each case.
l. Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, exclusive of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as GST etc. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
The Company applies the revenue recognition criteria to each separately identifiable component of the Revenue transaction as set out below:
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer as per the terms of the contract, there is neither continuing managerial involvement with the goods nor effective control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company, the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period the underlying services are performed.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income
Interest income is recorded on accrual basis using the effective interest rate ("EIR") method.
Royalty income
Royalty is recognized on an accrual basis based on actual sale of product by the licensee and in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement.
Research and license fees income
Research and license fees income is recognized on an accrual basis based on actual sale of product by the licensee and in accordance with the term of the relevant agreement.
Export incentives
Export entitlements from government authorities are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made by the Company, and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.

m. Financial instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurement
Financial assets
- i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost A financial instrument is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
- • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
- • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
- ii. Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and joint ventures Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and joint ventures are accounted for at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 Separate Financial Statements.
- iii. Financial assets at fair value
Investments in equity instruments other than above – Investments in equity instruments which are held for trading are generally classified as at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). For all other equity instruments, the Company makes irrevocable choice upon initial recognition, on an instrument to instrument basis, to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") or fair value through profit or loss FVTPL.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company transfers the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends on such investments are recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the profit or loss.
De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Financial liabilities
Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities, other than derivative liabilities, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Impairment of financial assets
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. Note 49 details how the Company determines 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.
n. Investment in subsidiaries and joint ventures
Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its
recoverable amount. On disposal of these investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
o. Post-employment and other employee benefits
Provident fund
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. The Company has no obligation other than the contribution payable to the Provided Fund. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Gratuity
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of the gratuity plan (administered through the Life Insurance Corporation of India), which is a defined benefit plan, is calculated by estimating the ultimate cost to the entity of the benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. This requires an entity to determine how much benefit is attributable to the current and prior periods and to make estimates (actuarial assumptions) about demographic variables and financial variables that will affect the cost of the benefit. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains/losses resulting from re-measurements of the liability are included in other comprehensive income.
Compensated absences
Compensated absences, which are expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats compensated absences expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
Other short-term benefits
Expense in respect of other short-term benefits is recognized on the basis of amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employees.
p. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q. Income taxes
Income tax expense recognized in statement of profit and loss comprises current tax and deferred tax except the ones recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is determined as the tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year and is computed in accordance with the applicable tax regulations. Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Minimum alternate tax ('MAT') credit entitlement is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that normal income tax will be paid during the specified period. In the year in which MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and presented as MAT credit entitlement. This is reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement is written down to the extent it is not reasonably certain that normal income tax will be paid during the specified period.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and corresponding amount used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets on unrealised tax loss are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss will be utilised against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Company's forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised

or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside statement of profit and loss is recognized outside statement of profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
r. Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the group will comply with all the conditions.
Government grants related to the income are deferred and recognised in statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the cost that are intended to compensate and presented within other income.
Government grants related to property plant and equipment are included in the non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the related assets and presented within other income.
s. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
Identification of segments
In accordance with Ind AS 108 – Operating Segment, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified on the basis of information reviewed by the Company's management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components. Results of the operating segments are reviewed regularly by the Board of director (chairman and chief financial officer) which has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.
Allocation of common costs
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment accordingly to the relative contribution of each segment to the total common costs.
Unallocated items
Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Group as a whole. In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the management has disclosed the segment information in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
t. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
u. Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Statement of profit and loss from discontinued operations comprise the post-tax Statement of profit and loss from discontinued operations and the posttax gain or loss resulting from the measurement and disposal of assets classified as held for sale. Any statement of profit and loss arising from sale or re-measurement of discontinued operations is presented as a part of single line item. Statement of profit and loss from discontinued operations separately in the Statement of profit and loss.
v. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when present obligations as a result of past events will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and they can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, based on the most reliable evidence, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognised in the balance sheet.
Any amount that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset up to the amount of the related provisions. All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.
1.4 Significant management judgments in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the related disclosures.
Significant management judgments
Research and developments costs - Management monitors progress of internal research and development projects by using a project management system. Significant judgment is required in distinguishing research from the development phase. Development costs are recognised as an asset when all the criteria are met, whereas research costs are expensed as incurred. Management also monitors whether the recognition requirements for development costs continue to be met. This is necessary due to inherent uncertainty in the economic success of any product development.
Recognition of deferred tax assets - The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets – The Company is the subject of legal proceedings and tax issues covering a range of matters, which are pending in various jurisdictions. In view of the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against the Company often raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, including but not limited to the facts and circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. In the normal course of business, management consults with legal counsel and certain other experts on matters related to litigation and taxes. The Company accrues a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Impairment of financial assets – At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the management assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding financial assets.
Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets – The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
Significant estimates
Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets – Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, IT equipment and other plant and equipment.
Defined benefit obligation – Management's estimate of the Defined Benefit Obligations (DBO) is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Fair value measurements
Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.
1.5 Recent accounting pronouncements (Standard issued but not yet effective):

Notes :
- i) Includes income tax demand of Rs. 162.22 million in respect to Assessment Year 2005-06. The Income Tax department had issued demand based on certain grounds related to purchases made by the Company from an overseas vendor. The matter was decided in favour of the Company and the demand was cancelled by CIT (Appeals). However, the Income Tax Department has filed an appeal before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT (Appeals) which is pending at present. The Company believes that it has merit in these cases, hence no provision is required.
- ii) A search operation was conducted by the Income Tax Department in the premises of the Company in January 2012 and hence the Company had re-filed the income tax returns for the Assessment Year 2006-07 to 2012-13.

The refund of the advance so received (after adjusting the amount receivable against the vaccines already supplied) was demanded back by MOHFW along with interest on account of non-supply of balance quantities of vaccines. In view of above disputes, the Company obtained a stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court against recovery of said amount, till the disputes are finally resolved through arbitration. The arbitration award was pronounced in favour of the Company on March 14, 2019, vide which MOHFW was directed to pay the applicable amount for vaccine supplied/offered for supply along with interest.

47 Employee benefits obligations
A. Defined benefit plan
Risks associated with plan provisions
Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Company is exposed to various risks as follows:
| Salary increases: | Actual salary increases will increase the plan's liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability. |
|---|---|
| Investment risk: | If plan is funded than assets liabilities mismatch and actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability. |
| Discount rate risk: | Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan's liability. |
| Mortality and disability risk: |
Death and disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities. |
| Withdrawals risk: | Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact plan's liability. |
Gratuity (funded)
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payments of Gratuity Act, 1972 to employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years. 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. For the funded plan, the Company makes contributions to recognised funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation as at March 31, 2021 is 13.93 years (March 31, 2020: 13.27 years).
The Company expects to contribute Rs. 14.38 million (March 31, 2020: Rs. 14.32 million) towards gratuity during next year.

49 Financial risk management
Risk management framework
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the related impact in the financial statements.
A. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party fails to discharge its obligation to the Company. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counter parties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls.
A.1 Credit risk management
The Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets:
A: Low credit risk on financial reporting date
B: Moderate credit risk
C: High credit risk
The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
| Asset Company | Basis of categorisation | Provision for expected credit loss |
|---|---|---|
| Low credit risk | Cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, loans, trade receivables and other financial assets |
12 month expected credit loss |
| Moderate credit risk | Trade receivables | Life time expected credit loss or 12 month expected credit loss* |
| High credit risk | Trade receivables and loans | Life time expected credit loss or fully provided for |
*In respect of trade receivables, the Company recognises a provision for lifetime expected credit losses
Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions.
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or a litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
| (Rs. in million) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Particulars | Credit rating | As at March 31, 2021 |
As at March 31, 2020 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | A: Low credit risk | 86.56 | 149.15 |
| Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents | A: Low credit risk | 803.06 | 456.94 |
| Loans | A: Low credit risk | 24.42 | 22.47 |
| Other financial assets | A: Low credit risk | 105.00 | 71.17 |
| Trade receivables | B: Medium credit risk | 352.92 | 176.86 |
| Trade receivables | C: High credit risk | 24.62 | 6.39 |
| Loans | C: High credit risk | 971.04 | 941.97 |
Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks across the country.

Trade receivables
Credit risk related to trade receivables are mitigated by taking bank guarantees/letter of credit, from customers where credit risk is high. The Company closely monitors the credit-worthiness of the debtors through internal systems that are configured to define credit limits of customers, thereby limiting the credit risk to pre-calculated amounts. The Company assesses increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis for amounts receivable that become past due and default is considered to have occurred when amounts receivable become two year past due.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost
Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes loans and advances to related parties and employees, security deposits and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously.
A.2 Expected credit losses for financial assets other than trade receivables
The Company provides for expected credit losses on loans and advances other than trade receivables by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the Company deals with only high-rated banks and financial institutions, credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low. In respect of loans, comprising of security deposits, credit risk is considered low because the Company is in possession of the underlying asset. However, in respect of loans comprising loans to related parties, credit risk is evaluated on the basis of credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. In respect of other financial assets, credit risk is evaluated based on Company's knowledge of the credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised (except in case of loans to related parties) on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets.

A.3 Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
The Company recognizes lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables using a simplified approach, wherein the Company has defined percentage of provision by analysing historical trend of default relevant to each category of customer based on the criteria defined above and such provision percentage determined have been considered to recognise life time expected credit losses on trade receivables (other than those where default criteria are met). The Company has other trade receivables for Rs. 169.91 million (March 31, 2020: Rs. 50.28 million) against which it is carrying unsecured payables for corresponding amount for whose default criteria are not met and are not included in the below table.

B. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due. The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.

- C. Market risk
- (I) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate related primarily to the Company's non-current and current debt obligations financed with fixed interest rate. The Company always try to ensure minimum cash outlfows. The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility.
In view of above, the Company is not exposed to fluctuations in interest rate risk on borrowings.
(II) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EURO, JPY, CAD, GBP, KZT, RUB, CHF and THB. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Company. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to manage its exposure. Also, the Company does not use forward contracts and swaps for speculative purposes.
(a) Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities, translated at the closing rate, are as follows:

- a) signed investment agreement with India Resurgence Fund ('IndiaRF'), promoted by Piramal Enterprises Limited and Bain Capital Credit, along with its affiliates ("Investors") for obtaining long term funds of upto Rs. 9,920 million, consequent to approval from shareholders in general meeting held on March 25, 2019. This investment was structured by way of subscription to Non-Convertible Debentures ('NCDs') of up to Rs. 8,640 million and subscription amount of Rs. 320 million towards share warrants to be allotted on a preferential basis. The subscription amount represented 25% of total amount of Rs. 1,280 million proposed to be raised upon issuance of equity shares against warrants as per SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 ('ICDR Regulations'). Upon exercise of conversion rights in the warrants, IndiaRF (along with its affiliates) would have collectively owned 10.4% stake in the equity share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis;
- b) issued and allotted 74,300 unrated, unlisted, redeemable NCDs, having the face value of Rs. 1 lakh each, aggregating to Rs. 7,430 million under Series 1A, Series 1B and Series 2 NCDs to the Investors; The NCD Series 1A had maturity period of 12 months, Series 1B 60 months and Series 2 18 months from the date of allotment. The NCDs were secured by way of first pari-passu charge over entire fixed assets and current assets of the Company. The NCDs were additionally secured by way of (i) personal guarantees of Dr. Rajesh Jain, Mr. Sandeep Jain and Mr. Ankesh Jain; (ii) pledge of 39,776,227 equity shares held by the promoters and promoter group members; and (iv) pledge of equity shares of PBPL held by the Company;
- c) issued and allotted 7,111,111 convertible share warrants (Share Warrants) at a price of Rs. 180 each on a preferential basis to the Investors, entitling them to subscribe to an equivalent number of equity shares of face value of Re. 1 each at a premium of Rs. 179 per share as per the provisions of Chapter V of ICDR Regulations; and
- d) Pursuant to the transfer of Company's pharmaceutical formulations business to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Panacea Biotec Pharma Limited ('PBPL') as a going concern by way of slump sale, the above NCDs have been extinguished and novated in PBPL as a part of the transfer of said business.
During the financial year 2020-21, the Share warrants have stood cancelled as the Investors did not exercise the conversion option within the stipulated time.
On April 6, 2021, PBPL and its debenture-holders have signed necessary amendment agreement to revise the Maturity Date of Series 1A NCDs from April 7, 2020 to June 7, 2021. PBPL is in advanced discussion with the Debenture holders to consider further extension, if required.
During the financial year 2020-21, the promoters and promoter group members have further pledged 2,715,469 equity shares taking to total pledged equity shares to 42,491,696 (March 31, 2020: 39,776,227).
- 53 For the financial year ended March 31, 2021, the Company has incurred loss (before tax and exceptional items) of Rs. 128.52 million (year ended March 31, 2020: loss of Rs. 635.28 million) from the continuing operations.

Based on these measures and continuous efforts to improve the business performance, the management believes that it would be able to generate sustainable cash flows, recoup the erosion in its net worth through profitable operations, discharge its obligations as they fall due and has therefore concluded that the going concern assumption continues to be valid.
- 54 In view of the Company's decision to make the structure of overseas subsidiaries more efficient and aligned to business objectives and to save management and administrative expenses thereof, the Company has decided to wind up Panacea Biotec (International) SA ("PBS") in due course. Accordingly, the Company has created 'Provision for impairment on its investment in PBS.

-
- Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture.
Auditor's Responsibilities 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 Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
-
- As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;
- • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
- • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its joint venture 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 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 joint venture to cease to continue as a going concern;
- • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; and
- • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group, and its joint venture, to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities included in the financial statements, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the 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.

-
- 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
- We did not audit the financial statements of 5 subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflects total assets of Rs. 637.47 million and net assets of Rs.(394.26) million as at 31 March 2021, total revenues of Rs. 344.63 million and net cash inflows amounting to Rs.179.62 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 (including other comprehensive income) of Rs. 0.77 million for the year ended 31 March 2021, as considered in the consolidated financial statements, in respect of 1 joint venture, whose financial statements have not been audited by us.

Independent Auditor's Report on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act')
- In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Panacea Biotec Limited ('the Holding Company') and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group'), and its joint venture as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its joint venture, which are companies covered under the Act, as at that date.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Internal Financial Controls
- The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, and its joint venture, which are companies covered under the Act, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Company's business, including adherence to the Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
-
- Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its joint venture, as aforesaid, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI') prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting ('the Guidance Note') issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
-
- Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, 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 and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matter paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its joint venture as aforesaid.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
- A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 controls with reference to financial statements include 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 with Reference to Financial Statements
- Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the subsidiary companies and its joint venture, the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, and joint venture, which are companies covered under the Act, have in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, based on "the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Other Matters
-
- We did not audit the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements insofar as it relates to 3 subsidiary companies, which are companies covered under the Act, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 71.56 million and net liabilities of Rs. 60.03 million as at 31 March 2021, total revenues of Rs. 2.46 million and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. 0.02 million for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements.

The internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in so far as it relates to such subsidiary companies and joint venture have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management and our report on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements for the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its joint venture, as aforesaid, under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act in so far as it relates to such subsidiary companies and joint venture is based solely on the reports of the auditors of such companies.

1. Corporate information
Panacea Biotec Limited (Corporate identification number: L33117PB1984PLC022350) ("the Holding Company") is a public company incorporated and domiciled in India. The Holding Company has its registered office and place of business at Ambala-Chandigarh Highway Lalru-140501, Punjab, India. The Holding Company's shares are listed with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
Holding Company Overview
The Holding Company is one of India's leading research based biotechnology companies engaged in the business of research, development, manufacture and marketing of branded vaccines and pharmaceutical formulations in India and international markets through itself and through its subsidiaries.
The Holding Company, its subsidiaries and its joint venture (jointly referred to as "the Group" herein under) were considered in these consolidated financial statements.
1.1 Basis of preparation
a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements ('Consolidated Financial Statements') of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act, as amended from time to time.
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared for the Group as a going concern on the basis of relevant Ind AS that are effective at the Group's annual reporting date, March 31, 2021. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group were approved by the Board of Directors on June 2, 2021. Revision to the financial statements is permitted by the Board of Directors after obtaining necessary approvals or at the instance of regulatory authorities, as per the provision of the Act.
b. Basis of measurement
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value:
- • Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments); and
- • Defined benefit plans plan assets measured at fair value.
1.2 Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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. Profit/ (loss) and Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI') of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. All the consolidated subsidiaries have a consistent reporting date of March 31, 2021. 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. Intercompany 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, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary's statement of profit and loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. Profit/ (loss) and each component of OCI are attributed to the equity holders of the parent company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of the subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
Joint ventures
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. Joint ventures – Interest in joint venture are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the share of net assets of the investee, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group. The Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss includes the Group's share of the results of the operations of the investee. Dividends received or receivable from joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in these entities. 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 recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.
1.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these Consolidated Financial Statements have been disclosed in note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies that are used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are summarised below. These accounting policies are consistently used throughout the periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
a) Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
- • Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle*
- • Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- • Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- • Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle*
- • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
*Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
b) Inventory
Inventories are valued as follows:
Raw material, components, stores and spares
Raw materials (including packing materials), components, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of raw materials, components and stores and spares is determined on a weighted average basis. Stores and spares having useful life of more than twelve months are capitalised as "Property, plant and equipment" and are depreciated prospectively over their remaining useful lives in accordance with Ind AS 16.
Work in progress and finished goods
Work in progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes raw material cost and a proportion of direct and indirect overheads up to estimated stage of completion. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.
Traded goods
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
c) Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and initial measurement
All items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. 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 attributable to such subsequent cost associated with the item will flow to the Group. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit or loss as incurred.
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of repairs and maintenance are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives)
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight line method arrived on the basis of the useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Act. The following useful life of assets has been determined by the Group:

| Particulars | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Building – factory | 30 years |
| Building – Non-factory | 60 years |
| Plant and Equipment | 15 years and 20 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 10 years |
| Vehicles | 8 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 years and 6 years |
i) Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
ii) Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease
iii) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the initial period of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Where, during any financial year, any addition has been made to any asset, or where any asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed, or significant components replaced; depreciation on such assets is calculated on a pro rata basis as individual assets with specific useful life from the month of such addition or, as the case may be, up to the month on which such asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed or replaced.
De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
d) Intangible assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Research and development costs
Expenditure on the research phase of projects is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly attributable to a project's development phase are recognised as intangible assets, provided the Group can demonstrate the following:
- • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use.
- • its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it
- • its ability to use or sell the intangible asset
- • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits
- • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
- • its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development
Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred.
Directly attributable costs include employee costs incurred on development of prototypes along with an appropriate portion of relevant overheads and borrowing costs
Other intangibles
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding product development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Subsequent measurement (Amortisation and useful lives)
All finite-lived intangible assets, including internally developed intangible assets, are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and any change in the same is accounted for prospectively. The following useful lives are applied:
| Intangible assets | Amortisation period |
|---|---|
| Patents, trademarks and designs | 7 years |
| Product development | 5 Years |
| Technical know-how | 5 years |
| Software | 5 years |
| Websites | 2 years |
De-recognition
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
e) Assets classified as held-for-sale
Assets are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale continue to be recognised. Assets classified as held-for-sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
f) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually; their recoverable amount is estimated annually each year at the reporting date.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the 'cash-generating unit'). The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use or its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The goodwill acquired in a business combination is, for the purpose of impairment testing, allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Intangibles with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment individually.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
g) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
h) Foreign and presentation currency
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the functional and presentation currency of the Holding Company.
Foreign currencies Transactions and balances
Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Subsequent measurement
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e. translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.
All other exchange differences are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Translation of a foreign operation
Functional and reporting currencies of foreign operations are different from the reporting currency of the Holding Company. For all the foreign operations of the Group, all assets and liabilities (excluding share capital and opening reserves and surplus) are translated into INR using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Share capital, opening reserves and surplus at historical rates. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. The resultant currency translation difference is recognized as foreign currency translation reserve under the head 'other equity'.

i) Leases
Effective from April 1, 2019, the Group has applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 17.
As a lessee
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- The exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets - The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
j) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial results are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period or each case.
k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, exclusive of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as GST etc. The Group has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
The Group applies the revenue recognition criteria to each separately identifiable component of the Revenue transaction as set out below:
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer as per the terms of the contract, there is neither continuing managerial involvement with the goods nor effective control over the goods sold, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group, the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period the underlying services are performed.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income
Interest income is recorded on accrual basis using the effective interest rate ("EIR") method.
Royalty income
Royalty is recognized on an accrual basis based on actual sale of product by the licensee and in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement.
Research and license fees income
Research and license fees income is recognized on an accrual basis based on actual sale of product by the licensee and in accordance with the term of the relevant agreement.
Export incentives
Export entitlements from government authorities are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made by the Group, and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
l) Financial instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurement
Financial assets
- i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost A financial instrument is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
- • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
- • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified datesto cash flowsthat are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
ii. Financial assets at fair value
• Investments in equity instruments other than above –Investments in equity instruments which are held for trading are generally classified as at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Group makes irrevocable choice upon initial recognition, on an instrument to instrument basis, to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit or loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Group transfers the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends on such investments are recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the profit or loss.
• Investments in mutual funds – Investments in mutual funds in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Financial liabilities
Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities, other than derivative liabilities, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Impairment of financial assets
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.
m) Post-employment and other employee benefits
Provident fund
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Group has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Group recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. The Group has no obligation other than the contribution payable to the Provided Fund. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Gratuity
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net obligation in respect of the gratuity plan (administered through Life Insurance Corporation of India), which is a defined benefit plan, is calculated by estimating the ultimate cost to the entity of the benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. This requires an entity to determine how much benefit is attributable to the current and prior periods and to make estimates (actuarial assumptions) about demographic variables and financial variables that will affect the cost of the benefit. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains/losses resulting from re-measurements of the liability are included in other comprehensive income.
Compensated absences
Compensated absences, which are expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
Other short-term benefits
Expense in respect of other short-term benefits is recognized on the basis of amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employees.
n) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
o) Taxes
Tax expense recognized in statement of profit and loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax except the ones recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is determined as the tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year and is computed in accordance with relevant tax regulations. Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Minimum alternate tax ('MAT') credit entitlement is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that normal income tax will be paid during the specified period. In the year in which MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and presented as MAT credit entitlement. This is reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement is written down to the extent it is not reasonably certain that normal income tax will be paid during the specified period.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and corresponding amount used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets on unrealised tax loss are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss will be utilised against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Group's forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside statement of profit and loss is recognized outside statement of profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
p) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the group will comply with all the conditions.
Government grants related to the income are deferred and recognised in statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the cost that are intended to compensate and presented within other income.
Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are included in the non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the expected life of the related assets and presented within other income.
q) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
Identification of segments
In accordance with Ind AS 108 – Operating Segment, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified on the basis of information reviewed by the Group's management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components. Results of the operating segments are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors (Managing Director and Chief Financial officer) which has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.
Allocation of common costs
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment accordingly to the relative contribution of each segment to the total common costs.
Unallocated items
Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
Segment accounting policies
The Group prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial results of the Group as a whole. In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the management has disclosed the segment information in the audited consolidated financial statements.
r) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
s) Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Statement of profit and loss from discontinued operations comprise the post-tax Statement of profit and loss from discontinued operations and the post-tax gain or loss resulting from the measurement and disposal of assets classified as held for sale. Any statement of profit and loss arising from sale or re-measurement of discontinued operations is presented as a part of single line item. Statement of profit and loss from discontinued operations separately in the Statement of profit and loss.
t) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when present obligations as a result of past events will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Group and they can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation that has resulted from past events.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, based on the most reliable evidence, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.
In those cases, where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognised in the balance sheet.
Any amount that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset up to the amount of the related provisions. All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent assets are not recognised.
1.5 Significant management judgments in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the related disclosures.
Significant management judgments
Research and developments costs - Management monitors progress of internal research and development projects by using a project management system. Significant judgment is required in distinguishing research from the development phase. Development costs are recognised as an asset when all the criteria are met, whereas research costs are expensed as incurred. Management also monitors whether the recognition requirements for development costs continue to be met. This is necessary due to inherent uncertainty in the economic success of any product development.
Recognition of deferred tax assets - The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets – The Group is the subject of legal proceedings and tax issues covering a range of matters, which are pending in various jurisdictions. In view of the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against the Group often raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, including but not limited to the facts and circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. In the normal course of business, management consults with legal counsel and certain other experts on matters related to litigation and taxes. The Group accrues a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Impairment of financial assets – At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the management assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding financial assets.
Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets – The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
Significant estimates
Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets – Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, IT equipment and other plant and equipment.
Defined benefit obligation – Management's estimate of the Defined Benefit Obligations (DBO) is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Fair value measurements
Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.
1.6 Recent accounting pronouncements (Standard issued but not yet effective):
On March 24, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") through a notification, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. The amendments revise Division I, II and III of Schedule III and are applicable from April 1, 2021. Key amendments relating to Division II which relate to companies whose financial statements are required to comply with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 are: Balance Sheet:
• Lease liabilities should be separately disclosed under the head'financial liabilities', duly distinguished as current or non-current.
- • Certain additional disclosures in the statement of changes in equity such as changes in equity share capital due to prior period errors and restated balances at the beginning of the current reporting period.
- • Specified format for disclosure of shareholding of promoters.
- • Specified format for ageing schedule of trade receivables, trade payables, capital work-in-progress and intangible asset under development.
- • If a company has not used funds for the specific purpose for which it was borrowed from banks and financial institutions, then disclosure of details of where it has been used.
- • Specific disclosure under'additional regulatory requirement'such as compliance with approved schemes of arrangements, compliance with number of layers of companies, title deeds of immovable property not held in name of company, loans and advances to promoters, directors, key managerial personnel (KMP) and related parties, details of benami property held etc.
Statement of profit and loss:
• Additional disclosuresrelating to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), undisclosed income and crypto or virtual currency specified under the head 'additional information' in the notes forming part of the standalone financial statements.
The amendments are extensive and the Group will evaluate the same to give effect to them as required by law.

Notes :
- i) Includes income tax demand of Rs. 162.22 million in respect to Assessment Year 2005-06. The Income Tax department had issued demand based on certain grounds related to purchases made by the Holding Company from an overseas vendor. The matter was decided in favour of the Holding Company and the demand was cancelled by CIT (Appeals). However, the Income Tax Department has filed an appeal before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) against the order of CIT (Appeals) which is pending at present. The Holding Company believes that it has merit in these cases, hence no provision is required.
- ii) A search operation was conducted by the Income Tax Department in the premises of the Holding Company in January 2012 and hence the Holding Company had re-filed the income tax returns for the Assessment Year 2006-07 to 2012-13. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Income Tax department completed the assessment of the said years, disallowed certain expenses and issued demand of Rs. 3,294.90 million (including interest) on various grounds. The Holding Company preferred appeals before the CIT (Appeals) against the orders of the Income Tax department. The appeals were decided in favour of the Holding Company and the demand was cancelled. However, CIT (Appeals) has made certain disallowances with respect to Assessment Year 2010-11 and 2011-12 against which the Holding Company has filed appeals before the ITAT. The Income Tax Department has also filed appeals before ITAT against the orders of CIT (Appeals). The appeals before ITAT are pending at present. Based on legal advice, the Holding Company believes that it has merits in these cases, hence no provision is required.

RHL applied for conversion of the leasehold rights to freehold rights. RHL received a demand towards unearned increase charges of Rs.100.78 million from DDA vide its letter dated October 22, 2010 without disclosing the nature and the basis of demand.

47 Employee benefits obligations
A. Defined benefit plan
Risks associated with plan provisions
Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Group is exposed to various risks as follows:
| Salary increases | Actual salary increases will increase the plan's liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability. |
|---|---|
| Investment risk | If plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability. |
| Discount Rate | Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan's liability. |
| Mortality and disability | Death and disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities. |
| Withdrawals | Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact plan's liability. |
Gratuity (funded)
The Group provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payments of Gratuity Act, 1972 to 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. For the funded plan the group makes contributions to recognised funds in India. The group does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
The Group expects to contribute Rs 36.48 million (March 31, 2020: Rs 14.53 million) towards gratuity during next year
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation as at March 31, 2021 is 13.93 years (March 31, 2020: 13.27 years)

The different levels of fair value have been defined below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for financial instruments.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

49 Financial risk management
Risk management framework
The Group's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the related impact in the financial statements.
A. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party fails to discharge its obligation to the Group. The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counter parties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls.
A.1 Credit risk management
The Group assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Group assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets:
- A: Low credit risk on financial reporting date
- B: Moderate credit risk
- C: High credit risk
The Group provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
| Asset Company | Basis of categorisation | Provision for expected credit loss |
|---|---|---|
| Low credit risk | Cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, loans, trade receivables and other financial assets |
12 month expected credit loss |
| Moderate credit risk | Trade receivables | Life time expected credit loss or 12 month expected credit loss* |
| High credit risk | Trade receivables and loans | Life time expected credit loss or fully provided for |
*In respect of trade receivables, the Group recognises a provision for lifetime expected credit losses
Based on business environment in which the Group operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions.
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or a litigation decided against the Group. The Group continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
| (Rs. in million) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Particulars | Credit rating | As at | As at |
| March 31, 2021 | March 31, 2020 | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | A: Low credit risk | 520.79 | 402.18 |
| Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents | A: Low credit risk | 837.14 | 495.33 |
| Loans | A: Low credit risk | 55.14 | 55.60 |
| Other financial assets | A: Low credit risk | 162.16 | 68.62 |
| Trade receivables | B: Medium credit risk | 846.84 | 685.19 |
| Trade receivables | C: High credit risk | 41.06 | 27.35 |
| Loans | C: High credit risk | 586.41 | 585.16 |
Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks across the country.
Trade receivables
Credit risk related to trade receivables are mitigated by taking bank guarantees/letter of credit, from customers where credit risk is high. The Group closely monitors the credit-worthiness of the debtors through internal systems that are configured to define credit limits of customers,

thereby limiting the credit risk to pre-calculated amounts. The Group assesses increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis for amounts receivable that become past due and default is considered to have occurred when amounts receivable become two year past due.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost
Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes loans and advances to related parties and employees, security deposits and others (refer note 44). Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously.
A.2 Expected credit losses for financial assets other than trade receivables
The Group provides for expected credit losses on loans and advances other than trade receivables by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the Group deals with only high-rated banks and financial institutions, credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low. In respect of loans, comprising of security deposits, credit risk is considered low because the Group is in possession of the underlying asset. However, in respect of loans comprising loans to related parties, credit risk is evaluated on the basis of credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. In respect of other financial assets, credit risk is evaluated based on Group's knowledge of the credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. In respect of other financial assets, credit risk is evaluated based on Group's knowledge of the credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured as lifetime expected credit losses. The Group does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised (except in case of loans to related parties) on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets.

A.3 Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
The Group recognizes lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables using a simplified approach, wherein the Group has defined percentage of provision by analysing historical trend of default relevant to each category of customer based on the criteria defined above and such provision percentage determined have been considered to recognise life time expected credit losses on trade receivables (other than those where default criteria are met). The Company has other trade receivables for Rs. 234.94 million (March 31, 2020: Rs. 26.06 million) against which it is carrying unsecured payables for corresponding amount for whose default criteria are not met and are not included in the below table.

B. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due. The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180 day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Group takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.
B.1 Contractual Maturities of financial liabilities

C. Market risk
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's non-current and current debt obligations financed with fixed interest rates. The Group always try to ensure minimum cash outflows. The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility.
In view of the above, the Group is not exposed to fluctuation in interest rate risk on borrowings.
(ii) Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EURO, CHF, JPY, CAD, GBP, KZT, RUB, SEK and TBH. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Group. The Group does not use any derivative instruments to manage its exposure. Also, the Group does not use forward contracts and swaps for speculative purposes.

(a) Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities, translated at the closing rate, are as follows:

Contingent liabilities and commitments
The Group has Nil contingent liabilities and commitments in respect of joint venture.

- 55 For the financial year ended March 31, 2021, the Group has incurred a loss (before tax and exceptional items) of Rs. 1,442.46 million (year ended March 31, 2020: loss of Rs. 1,558.23 million) from continuing operations. The Group has already taken various measures aimed at improving the financial condition of the Company, inter-alia, collaborating with Limited Liability Company Human Vaccine, an indirect subsidiary of Russian Direct Investment Funds ('RDIF'), Russia's sovereign wealth fund, for producing Covid-19 vaccine 'Sputnik-V', ongoing discussion between PBPL and its debenture-holders as mentioned in note 18A above, raising of funds from the investors, deployed funds received from the investor for suitable purpose including scaling up its vaccine as well as pharmaceutical formulations business in India and international markets, besides expediting development of new products and monetization of non-core assets to reduce debts. Based on these measures and continuous efforts to improve the business performance, the management believes that it would be able to generate sustainable cash flows, recoup the erosion in its net worth through profitable operations, discharge its obligations as they fall due and has therefore concluded that the going concern assumption continues to be valid.
- 56 In view of the Holding Company's decision to make the structure of overseas subsidiaries more efficient and aligned to business objectives and to save management and administrative expenses thereof, the Holding Company has decided to wind up Panacea Biotec (International) SA ("PBS") in due course. Accordingly, the Holding Company has created 'Provision for impairment on its investment in PBS. Owing to accumulated losses in PBS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Panacea Biotec Germany GmbH (PBGG), the Holding Company has continued to maintain the provision for bad and doubtful advances in respect of the loans receivable and accrued interest from PBS and PBGG also amounting to Rs. 89.73 million and Rs. 296.14 million, respectively, as on March 31, 2021 (March 31, 2020: Rs. 82.97 million and Rs. 273.84 million, respectively). The Holding Company has applied with the authorized dealer to seek permission from Reserve Bank of India for writing off an amount of Rs.585.16 million which is receivable from the Company's erstwhile wholly owned subsidiary Rees Investment Ltd. (" Rees"), which was compulsory liquidated and dissolved by the authorities of Guernsey on May 23, 2019. Pending such approval, the Company is continuing to maintain the provision for bad and doubtful advances of Rs. 585.16 million (March 31, 2020: Rs. 585.16 million) in respect of the loan and accrued interest receivable from Rees.
