Post applicability of Goods and Services Tax (GST) with effect from July 1, 2017, the revenue from operations is disclosed net of GST. The revenue from operations for the nine months ended December $\frac{1}{2}$ 31, 2017 is inclusive of excise duty and is accordingly not comparable with revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to that extent

4 Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018, replaces existing revenue recognition requirements. Under the modified retrospective approach there were no material adjustments required to the retained earnings at April 1, 2018. Also, the application of Ind AS 115 did not have any material impact on recognition and measurement of revenue and related items in the financial results

During earlier years and in the current period, the Company has received show cause-cum-demand notices from the Excise department covering period from June 2000 till March 2017 for Rs. 1.381.55 crores (including penalty but excluding interest not presently quantified).

These demands are of excise duty payable on inclusion of the cost of bought out items in the assessable value of certain products manufactured by the Company, though such duty paid bought out items are directly dispatched CESTAT, Mumbai. Based on independent legal advice, the Company is confident of the issue being ultimately decided in its favour and accordingly no provision has been considered necessary

  1. The Company has completed the acquisition process for the equity shares held by Babcock and Wilcox India Holding Inc. (B&W) in Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Energy Solutions Private Limited (TBWES) on July 19, 2018. Accordingly, TBWES has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company had accounted for the transaction on provisional basis under Ind AS 103 'Business Combinations' Pursuant to the acquisition, TBWES results which were earlier consolidated on 'Equity' basis have been consolidated as a wholly owned subsidiary. Consequently, the financial results are not comparable to that extent.

7(a) Subsequent to the acquisition of TBWES, as part of organisation restructuring the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on February 8, 2019, subject to share holders approval, have approved the transfer of Boiler & Heater (B&H) business of Thermax Limited to TBWES on a going concern basis through slump sale. The consideration for the transaction will not be less than the book value of B&H business, i in TBWES in standalone results and have accordingly reversed the earlier impairment loss of Rs 111.84 Crores (disclosed as exceptional item). Further deferred tax assets amounting to Rs 94.13 Crores has been accounted in the consolidated results on the basis of assessment of probability of deductibility of brought forward losses and depreciation of TBWES against future taxable profit.
