ANNEXURE X TO BOARD’S REPORT
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
2020-21 was a year of Pandemic due to COVID 19. The entire world came to a halt due to the restrictions and lockdown that were put in place to avoid the spread of COVID 19. In India the impact was felt throughout the automotive industry as the country was under complete lockdown during 1[st] quarter of 2020-21. Two-wheeler sales registered a de-growth of (13%) over April-March 2021 compared to the same period last year. The domestic market experienced a sharp decline of (13%) and export sales declined by (7%). Within the two-wheeler segment Motorcycle sales de-grew by (9%) and Scooter sales de-grew by (24%) in April to March 2021 over the same period last year. The automotive industry recorded a more than 70% drop due to stringent lockdown and production/sales were hampered heavily. Despite continuous lockdowns and issues in restarting the supplies, 2[nd] quarter of 2020-21 and 3[rd] quarter of 2020-21 saw a fast ramp up. The automotive industry recovered quickly and was back on track by August 2020 and September 2020 and by utilizing the sudden spurt in demand due to a preference for personalized mobility to maintain social distancing. The Indian Automotive industry had a good Festival season sale in the 3[rd] quarter of 2020-21. Domestic sales registered growth in 3[rd] quarter of 2020-21, backed up with strong export demand.
On the technology front, the Indian automobile emission norms are now on par with the world industry leaders. Though the changes in the revenues of the company was proportional to that of the auto component/ auto industry, the company was able to en-cash on the technology innovation with a breakthrough product in e-Carb (Electronic Carburettor) which is a cost-effective solution to meet BSVI norms in 2W segment. The Company’s efforts to meet the stringent emission norms from the year 2020 had fructified. With sustained R&D efforts, e-Carb (Electronic Carburettor) was proved as an Optimum Solution to meet the BSVI norms with Minimum Vehicle level Changes. The Company also launched the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for e-Carb and added almost 8 new models in ECU supplies to its major OEM. The Company has now provided over 1 million e-Carb into the market. The Company has been able to control the financial and administration costs through prudent management practices. The Company’s R&D is continuously responding to the competitive environment created by the various changing models of the OEM’s, thereby ensuring that the company’s image as a technology provider is maintained. The company’s foray into newer areas like defense, aerospace and electronic components continue and these activities can be expected to yield results in a few years from now. The auto component industry is expected to follow the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in adoption of the electric vehicle technologies. The global move towards electric vehicles will generate new opportunities for auto component suppliers and the company is gearing up for the same.
2. FUTURE BUSINESS STRATEGY
The company is undergoing a technological transformation as it prepares to expand the e-Carb system which meets BSVI norms to the OBD II requirements which will be mandatory from 1[st] Apr’2023. The company continues to invest in R&D and create and acquire intellectual property towards this end. The focus on marketing Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system and mechanical Throttle Body Assembly continue with addition of new customers for this product range.
The EFI development has fructified and co-development for a 250cc engine application for a niche segment has started. The company is working towards establishing itself as a supplier of mechanical and electronic carburetors and fuel injection systems by the year 2021-22. In Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV), proof of concept has been completed with one of the major OEM and project is likely to start by 2022-23. This will be a key product for growth in financial year 2022-23 as we are approaching other major OEMs in LCV, HCV and 2W segment.
The company intends to enter the electric vehicle segment in the future and is preparing itself for the same. The company’s long-term vision is to become a one-stop shop and solution provider for all engine management requirements of the two-wheeler industry and major supplier of vacuum pumps, oil pumps, ETV and E-pumps for the four-wheeler industry and efforts are continuing towards achieving this objective.

3. ANALYSIS OF 2020-2021 SALES OF UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS LIMITED (UFSL) Vis-a-vis INDUSTRY
The year started off with slackness particularly due to pandemic in 1[st] quarter of 2020-21 and increase in vehicle prices because of introduction of BSVI norms, Industry registered de growth of almost (70%) in the 1[st] quarter of 2020-21 compared to 19-20 due to COVID Lockdowns. However the trend was reversed and market rebounded to the V shape recovery in 2[nd] quarter of 2020-21 and 3[rd] quarter of 2020-21 thanks to high sales due to personal mobility requirement. The company ended 2020-21 with a (10%) drop in turnover as compared to 2019-20. The introduction of e-Carb in <125cc segment and export model carb for 160cc segment in 2 W had positive impact in the turnover. Export sales have increased compared to 2019-20 due to Oil Pump Exports. While there has been a good improvement in the offtake of spares by dealers and export distributors, the off take by the OEMs had increased significantly. The Spares Segment registered a positive growth of 30% which had helped in both top line and bottom line

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information in the Annual Report, comprising of the Director’s report and its annexures, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information when it is made available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that if there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134 (5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the Financial Position, Financial Performance (including Other Comprehensive Income), Changes in Equity and Cash Flows of the Company in accordance with Ind AS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are 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 financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
65
2020-21
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 SAs, 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143 (3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate Internal Financial Controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone financial statements that individually or in aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and quantitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in Internal Control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS LIMITED.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).
We have audited the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements of UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining Internal Financial Controls based on the Internal Control over Financial Reporting criteria established by the Company, considering the essential components of Internal Control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
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 Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both issued by 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 was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the Internal Financial Controls System with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the Auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s Internal Financial Controls System with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
A company’s Internal Financial Control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s Internal Financial Control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:
-
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
(ii) 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
68
2020-21
- (iii) 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 Control 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, an adequate Internal Financial Controls System with reference to financial statements and such Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the Internal Control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company, considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by ICAI.

c) Basis of Preparation:
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention under accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and liabilities described in more detail in the accounting policies below, which have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements are prepared in Indian Rupees which is the Company’s functional currency.
d) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. The management believes that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and prudent. However, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future period.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in the relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.
The areas where significant estimates were made by the management are:

ii) Estimation of useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment Refer Note No 1(i) and Note No 1(j)

In Order to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, the central and state governments declared public lockdowns during the FY 2020-21 affecting regular operation of the production facilities of the Company during the initial part of the year causing an adverse impact on the revenue and profit for the FY 2020-21. However, the company has reopened its facilities and resumed regular operations after withdrawal of lockdowns. The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic on the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, receivables, inventories and other assets.

-
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.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, as the case may be.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

A revenue contract with the customer is accounted for only when the contract has been approved, the payment terms for the goods or services is identifiable, each party’s rights regarding the goods or services is identifiable, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the amount of consideration.
Sale of Products:
Revenue is recognized when the control of goods are transferred to a customer at an amount equal to the transaction price.
Interest Income:
Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying value of a financial asset. While calculating the effective interest rate, the company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options), but does not consider the expected credit losses.

Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established and the amount of dividend can be reliably measured.

All items of Property, Plant, and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation / amortization and Impairment, if any. Cost includes purchase price, taxes, and duties, labour cost and directly attributable overheads incurred upto the date the asset is ready for its intended use. However, cost excludes duty or tax to the extent credit of the duty or tax is availed of.
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 item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Profit or Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/ (losses).
i) Depreciation and Amortization:
-
i) Depreciation on property plant and equipment is charged over the estimated useful life of the asset or part of the asset, on straight line method, in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
-
ii) The useful life of various class of property plant and Equipment are as provided below:
| Class of Asset | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Leasehold Land | Term of Lease |
| Buildings | 30years |
| Plant and Machinery | 10-15years |
| Electrical Equipment | 10years |
| Furniture and Fixtures | 10years |
| Offce Equipment | 5years |
| Vehicles | 5years |
-
iii) Residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, for each reporting period.
-
iv) On tangible fixed assets added / disposed-off during the year, depreciation is charged on pro-rata basis from the date of addition / till the date of disposal.
j) Intangible Assets
Purchased Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are recognized as an asset if they meet the criteria for recognition under IndAS 38. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less amortization and accumulated impairment, if any.
Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the intangible assets as per details below:
| Class of Asset | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Software | Upto3years |
| Technical Know how | Upto10years |
The amortization period for intangible assets with finite useful lives is reviewed at least at each year-end. Changes in expected useful lives are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Internally generated intangible assets:
Research costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they are incurred. Product development costs incurred on new products are recognized as intangible assets, when feasibility has been established, the company has committed technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development, and it is probable that asset will generate probable future economic benefit.
k) Leases:
Effective April1, 2019, the company has applied Ind AS 116 on Lease Accounting. Ind AS 116 replaces Ind AS 17.
The company has chosen the practical expedient provided by the standard to apply Ind AS 116 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17 and therefore has not reassessed whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Consequently, the application of the standard has no transition impact.
The company, as a lessee, recognises, at inception of a contract, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
80
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
At the date of commencement of the lease, the company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short term leases) and leases for which the underlying assets is of low value. For such short term and assets of low value leases, the company recognizes the lease payment as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
At commencement date, the ROU asset is measured at cost. The cost of the ROU asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred. The ROU assets are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The ROU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of ROU asset. The estimated useful lives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of PPE. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
At the commencement date, the company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease liability and ROU asset are separately presented in the Balance Sheet. Lease payments are classified as financing cash flows while short-term lease payments, payment for leases of low value assets are classified within operating activities.
l) Impairment:
Assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
m) Foreign Currency Translation:
- (i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (‘the functional currency’). I.e. in Indian rupee (INR) and all values are rounded off to nearest lakhs except otherwise indicated.
-
(ii) Transactions and Balances
-
a) Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the spot exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction.
-
b) Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates.
-
c) Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are valued at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction if the item is valued at historical cost.
-
d) Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchanges rates at the date when the fair value is measured.
-
e) Exchange differences arising on settlement of transactions and translation of monetary items are recognized as income or expense in the year in which they arise.
81
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
n) Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, components, stores, spares, Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods are ascertained on a weighted average basis. Cost of Finished Goods and Workin-Progress comprises of direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after excluding rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Materials and supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.
o) Employee Benefits:
- i) Short Term Obligations:
Liabilities for wages, salaries, and bonuses, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented under other financial liabilities in the balance sheet.
- ii) Long term Post-employment obligation:
The company has the following post-employment benefit obligations:
-
a) Defined benefit gratuity plans; and
-
b) Defined contribution plans such as provident fund, pension plans
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is valued annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included under finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they arise, directly in other comprehensive income and are adjusted against retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Provident Fund and Pension Plans:
The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees’ salary. The contributions as specified under the law are made to the Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). The Company is liable only for its fixed contributions which are required to be made in accordance with the schemes in force as notified by EPFO. All contributions made by the Company are recognized as expenses for the relevant period.
iii) Other Long-Term Employee Benefits:
Liabilities for compensated absences are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are, therefore, measured at the present value of the expected future payments that has accrued to the employees in accordance with the company’s policy for compensated absences. The benefits are discounted using an appropriate discount rate and are estimated using
82
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
the projected unit credit method by an independent actuary. Remeasurement as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income. The obligation is classified as current and non-current based on the policy stated in the notes.
The eligible employees of the company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of superannuation, a defined contribution plan, in which the company makes monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees’ salary. The employees are eligible to receive the contribution made along with accumulated return thereon. The company is liable only for its fixed contributions which are required to be made in accordance with the company’s policy. Being in the nature of a defined contribution plan, the contributions are accounted as an expense as and when they accrue.
p) Taxes on Income:
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred taxes.
The current tax for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income computed in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 applying the enacted income tax rate applicable. The current tax expense includes income tax payments relating prior periods.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilize those unused tax credits and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same tax jurisdiction. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The company is entitled to claim special tax deductions towards qualifying expenditure (Research and Development). The company accounts for such allowances as tax credits reducing income tax payable and current tax expense.
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient tax profits arise for their utilization.
q) Government Grants:
Government Grants including non-monetary grants at fair value, are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. The grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs which the grants are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to assets are presented by setting up the grant as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
r) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
-
i) Provision
-
Provision is recognized when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events,
83
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
ii) Contingent Liabilities:
Wherever there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because (a) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or (b) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability a disclosure is made by way of contingent liability.
s) Segment Reporting:
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
t) Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown under borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
u) Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the relevant instrument and are initially measured at fair value.
i) Financial Assets:
Classification:
The company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:
-
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
-
Those measured at amortized cost
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual term of the cash flow.
Measurement:
All financial assets are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value based on their classification.
Transaction costs arising on acquisition of a financial asset are accounted as below:
| Nature of instrument | Treatment of transaction cost |
|---|---|
| Designated as Fair value throughproft and loss | Recognized inproft and Loss Statement |
| Other than those designated as Fair value through Proft and Loss |
Adjusted against the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition |
84
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
Debt Instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The following are the measurement categories into which the company classifies its debt instruments.
Amortized cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not a part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is de-recognized or impaired. Interest income on these financial assets is included in finance income using effective interest rate method.
Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income and Fair Value through profit/loss:
Assets that do not meet the criteria for measurement at amortized cost are measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income unless the company elects the option to measure the same at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate an accounting mismatch.
Equity Instruments:
The company subsequently measures all investments in equity instruments other than investments in subsidiary companies at fair value. Gain/Loss arising on fair value is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Dividend from such investments are recognized in profit or loss as other income when the company’s right to receive payments is established.
Investment in Subsidiary Companies:
Investments in subsidiary companies are measured at cost less provision for impairment, if any.
Trade receivables:
Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost and are carried at values arrived after deducting allowances for expected credit losses and impairment, if any.
Impairment:
The company accounts for impairment of financial assets based on the expected credit loss model. The company measures expected credit losses on a case to case basis.
Derecognition and write-off:
A financial asset is derecognized only when:
-
a) The contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset expires or
-
b) The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
-
c) The company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Further a financial asset is derecognized only when the company transfers all risks and rewards associated with the
ownership of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is directly reduced and an equal expenditure is recognized when the entity has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
85
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
ii) Financial Liabilities:
Financial Liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Financial Liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost (unless the entity elects to measure it at Fair Value through Profit and Loss Statement to eliminate any accounting mismatch). Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the liability, using the effective interest method.
Financial Liabilities are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other gain / (loss). Financial Liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

*Holding all other variable constant. In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
ii) 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 has availed loans at floating interest rate exposing the company to interest rate risk. The company has not hedged its interest rate risk using interest rate swaps and is exposed to the risk. The total exposure of the company to interest rate risks at the balance sheet date has been disclosed below:

Sensitivity Analysis:
The sensitivity to the changes in the interest rate have been determined by assuming that the amount of liability as at the end of the reporting period was outstanding throughout the year. A 50-basis point’s fluctuation has been used to demonstrate the sensitivity of profit or loss and equity to interest rate holding all other variables constant.

c) Credit Risk:
Credit Risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The management evaluates the Credit Risk of individual financial assets at each reporting date. An expected credit loss is recognized if the Credit Risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition of the financial instrument. In general, the Company assumes that there has been a significant increase in Credit Risk since initial recognition if the amounts are 30 days past due from the initial or extended due date. However, in specific cases the Credit Risk is not assessed to be significant even if the asset is due beyond a period of 30 days depending on the credit history of the customer with the Company and business relation with the customer. A default on a financial asset is when the counter party fails to make contractual payments within 1 year from the date they fall due from the initial or extended due date. The definition of default is adopted given the industry in which the entity operates.
Write off of Financial Assets:
To the extent a financial asset is irrecoverable, it is written off by recognizing an expense in the statement of profit and loss. Such assets are written off after obtaining necessary approvals from appropriate levels of management when it is estimated that there is no realistic probability of recovery and the amount of loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries, if any of amounts previously written off are recognized as an income in the statement of profit and loss in the period of recovery.
The company considers the following to be indicators of remote possibility of recovery:
a) The counterparty is in continuous default of principal or interest payments
101
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021 (CONTD)
-
b) The counterparty has filed for bankruptcy
-
c) The counterparty has been incurring continuous loss during its considerable number its past accounting periods
The company assesses changes in the credit risk of a financial instrument taking into consideration ageing of bills outstanding on the reporting date, responsiveness of the counterparty towards requests for payment, forward looking information including macroeconomic information and other party specific information that might come to the notice of the company. In general, it is assumed that the counterparty continues his credit habits in future.
During the year 2017-18, the company wrote off 2,854.06 Lakhs of Trade Receivables and12,337.79 Lakhs of loan receivable from Ucal Holding Inc., (Previously Amtec Precision Products Inc), wholly owned subsidiary. The company is awaiting approval from RBI for the said write off.
The company does not hold any security/collateral against its trade receivables, lease receivables, loans, and deposits.
Credit Exposures:
The company categories the financial assets into following classes based on credit risk:
| Grade | Description | Extent of Loss recognized |
|---|---|---|
| A | HighQualityAsset,the risk of default is negligible or nil | 12 month expected Credit Loss |
| B | Standard Asset, the risk of default is low and the counterparty has sufficient financial strength to meet the obligations |
12 month expected Credit Loss |
| C | Low Quality Asset, the risk of default is considerable and there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition |

Significant Assumptions made for the valuation of Defined benefit Obligations include:
| As at 31st March 2021 | As at 31st March 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Assumptions | % | % |
| Discount Rate | 6.45% | 7.60% |
| SalaryGrowth Rate | 5.00% | 5.00% |
| MortalityRate(% of IALM 06-08) | 100.00% | 100.00% |
| Attrition Rate | 8.00% | 8.00% |
Risk Exposure:
Valuations of defined employee benefit obligations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary over time. Thus, the company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
In addition to Interest Rate risk and liquidity risk explained in the Note No. 38 the company is also exposed to the below risks on account of valuation of defined benefit obligations:
-
a) Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
-
b) Demographic Risk: The company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumptions.
-
c) Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in the maximum limit on gratuity payout).
-
d) Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2021
TO THE MEMBERS OF M/S UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS LIMITED
Report on the audit of Consolidated IndAS Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements of M/s. UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS LIMITED (“hereinafter referred to as the holding Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the group”) comprising the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021 the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Consolidated Financial Statements’).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Consolidated Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the group as at March 31, 2021, the Consolidated Profit (Including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated changes in Equity, and its Consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143 (10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to:
- i. Note 34 (c) forming part of the financial statements for the year in connection with the non-availability of RBI approval for writing off made during the year 2017-18 in respect of Trade receivable and Loan receivable aggregating to `15,191.85 Lakhs due from foreign subsidiary (UCAL Holdings Inc., formerly Amtec Precision Products Inc.,)
Our opinion on the financial statements is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Principal Audit Procedures We have carried out the validation of the information provided by the management by performing the following procedures: - Evaluating reasonableness of the underlying assumptions - Examining the relevant documents on record - Relying on relevant external evidence available including legal opinion, relevant judicial precedents and industry practices - Gettingmanagement confrmation wherever necessary |
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information in the Annual Report, comprising of the Director’s report and its annexures, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that if there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act.
The respective Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Boards of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
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.
113
2020-21
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Group has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such auditor remains responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that individually or in aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and quantitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
114
2020-21
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure A to Independent Auditors’ Report – 31[st] March 2018
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)
In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements of the company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, we have audited the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting of UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS LIMITED (‘the Holding Company’) and its Subsidiary Company, which is a company incorporated in India, as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Board of Directors of the of the Holding company, its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on “the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)”. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group Company’s Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the ‘Guidance Note’) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by 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 Over Financial Reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the Internal Financial Controls System Over Financial Reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting included obtaining an understanding of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of Internal Control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the Auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s Internal Financial Controls System Over Financial Reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
-
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-
(ii) 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
117
2020-21
- (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company and its Subsidiary incorporated in India have maintained, in all material respects, an adequate Internal Financial Controls System Over Financial Reporting and such Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of Internal Control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by ICAI.

e) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of Financial Statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and notes thereto. The management believes that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and prudent. However, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future period.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in the relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the Financial Statements.
The areas where significant estimates were made by the management are:
-
i) Defined employee benefit obligations- Refer Note No 36
-
ii) Estimation of useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment Refer Note No 1(j) and Note No 1(k)
-
iii) Estimation and evaluation of provisions and contingencies relating to tax litigations Refer Note No 39
-
iv) Recoverability/Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets Refer Note No 32.
-
v) Estimation of uncertainty relating to global health pandemic- COVID 19
-
In Order to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, the global governments have declared public lockdowns during the FY 2020-21 affecting regular operation of the production facilities of the Group during the initial part of the year causing an adverse impact on the revenue and profit for the FY 2020-21. However, the Group has reopened its facilities and resumed regular operations after withdrawal of lockdowns. The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic on the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, receivables, inventories and other assets.
-
vi) Significant judgement made by Group management-
-
a) Treatment of provision for impairment in investment as business loss
Based on expert opinion and legal precedents in this regard, group has treated provision created in the FY 2019-20 towards Impairment of investment in Ucal Holding Inc. wholly owned foreign subsidiary as business loss for income tax purposes. Accordingly, group has created deferred tax asset for the aforesaid tax loss in the FY 2020-21 in line with the income tax return.

The group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.
Cash or cash equivalent is treated as current, unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. In respect of other assets, it is treated as current when it is:
-
Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle
-
Held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is treated as current when:
-
It is expected to be settled in the 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.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, as the case may be.

126
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021
Interest Income:
Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying value of a financial asset. While calculating the effective interest rate, the group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options), but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividend Income
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established and the amount of dividend can be reliably measured.
Rental Income:
Rental Income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
h) Cost Recognition:
Costs and Expenses are recognized when incurred and are classified according to their nature.
i) Property, Plant and Equipment:
All items of Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation / amortization and Impairment, if any. Cost includes purchase price, taxes and duties, labour cost and directly attributable overheads incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. However, cost excludes duty or tax to the extent credit of the duty or tax is availed of.
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 item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Profit or Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/(losses).
j) Depreciation and Amortization:
-
i) Depreciation on property plant and equipment is charged over the estimated useful life of the asset or part of the asset, on straight line method, in accordance with the useful lifes estimated by local managements.
-
ii) The useful life of various class of property plant and Equipment are as provided below:
| Class of Asset | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Leasehold Land | Term of Lease |
| Leasehold Improvements | Lower of term of lease and respective useful lives |
| Buildings | 10-30years |
| Plant and Machinery | 5-20years |
| Electrical Equipment | 10years |
| Furniture and Fixtures | 10years |
| Offce Equipment | 3-5years |
| Vehicles | 3-5years |
-

127
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021
k) Intangible Assets
Purchased Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are recognized as an asset if they meet the criteria for recognition under IndAS 38. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated Impairment, if any.
Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lifes of the intangible assets as per details below:
| Class of Asset | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Software | Upto 3years |
| Technological Know how | Upto 10years |
The amortization period for intangible assets with finite useful lifes is reviewed at least at each year-end. Changes in expected useful lifes are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Internally generated intangible assets:
Research costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they are incurred. Product development costs incurred on new products are recognized as intangible assets, when feasibility has been established, the entity has committed technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and it is probable that asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
l) Leases:
Effective 1st April 2019, the group has applied Ind AS 116 on Lease Accounting. Ind AS 116 replaces Ind AS 17.
The group has chosen the practical expedient provided by the standard to apply Ind AS 116 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17 and therefore has not reassessed whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Consequently, the application of the standard has no transition impact.
The group, as a lessee, recognises, at inception of a contract, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the group recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) assets representing its right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and a lease liabilities for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short term leases) and leases for which the underlying assets is of low value. For such short term and assets of low value leases, the group recognizes the lease payment as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
At commencement date, the ROU assets is measured at cost. The cost of the ROU assets measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred. The ROU assets are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated Impairment losses, if any.
The ROU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of ROU asset. The estimated useful lifes of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of PPE. Right-of-use assets are tested for Impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
At the commencement date, the group measures the lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease liabilities and ROU assets are separately presented in the Balance Sheet. Lease payments are classified as financing cash flows while short-term lease payments, payment for leases of low value assets are classified within operating activities.

2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021
m) Impairment:
Assets are tested for Impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing Impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
n) Foreign Currency Translation:
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Financial Statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (‘The Functional Currency’). i.e in Indian Rupee (`) and all values are rounded off to nearest Lakhs except otherwise indicated.
-
(ii) Transactions and Balances
-
a. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the spot exchange rates prevailing on the date of transaction.
-
b. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates.
-
c. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are valued at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction if the item is valued at historical cost.
-
d. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currency are translated using the exchanges rates at the date when the fair value is measured.
-
e. Exchange differences arising on settlement of transactions and translation of monetary items are recognized as income or expense in the year in which they arise.
(iii) Translation of Financial Statements of Overseas Subsidiaries
The results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency is not Indian Rupees have been translated to the presentation currency using the following procedures:
-
a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented (i.e., including comparatives) shall be translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet.
-
b) Income and expenses for each statement of profit and loss presented have been translated at average exchange rates that prevailed during the year for practical reasons
-
c) All resulting exchange differences have been recognized in other comprehensive income.
o) Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, components, stores, spares, Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods are ascertained on a weighted average basis. Cost of Finished Goods and workingprogress comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after excluding rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Materials and supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

p) Employee Benefits:
- i) Short Term Obligations:
Liabilities for wages, salaries and bonuses, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented under other financial liabilities in the balance sheet.
- ii) Long term Post-employment obligation:
The Company has the following post-employment benefit obligations:
-
a) Defined benefit gratuity plans; and
-
b) Defined contribution plans such as provident fund, pension plans
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is valued annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included under finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they arise, directly in other comprehensive income and are adjusted against retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Liabilities towards all defined contribution plans are recognized as expenses in the respective years of accrual.
iii) Other Long-Term Employee Benefits:
Liabilities for compensated absences are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are, therefore, measured at the present value of the expected future payments that has accrued to the employees in accordance with the Company’s policy for compensated absences. The benefits are discounted using an appropriate discount rate and are estimated using the projected unit credit method by an independent actuary. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income. The obligation is classified as current and non-current based on the policy stated in the notes.
q) Taxes on Income:
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred taxes.
The current tax for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income computed in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 applying the enacted income tax rate applicable. The current tax expense includes income tax payments relating prior periods.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilize those unused tax credits and losses.
130
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same tax jurisdiction. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Where the group is entitled to claim special tax deductions towards qualifying expenditure (Research and Development), the group accounts for such allowances as tax credits reducing income tax payable and current tax expense.
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient tax profits arise for their utilization.
r) Government Grants:
Government Grants including non-monetary grants at fair value, are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. The grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs which the grants are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to assets are presented by setting up the grant as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on systematic basis over the useful lifes of the related assets
s) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
i) Provision
Provision is recognized when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
ii) Contingent Liabilities:
Wherever there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because (a) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or (b) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability a disclosure is made by way of contingent liability.
t) Segment Reporting:
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
u) Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and Bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown under borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

v) Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the relevant instrument and are initially measured at fair value.
- i) Financial Assets:
Classification:
The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories:
-
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
-
Those measured at amortized cost
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual term of the cash flow.
Measurement:
All financial assets are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value based on their classification.
Transaction costs arising on acquisition of a financial asset are accounted as below:
| Nature of instrument | Treatment of transaction cost |
|---|---|
| Designated as Fair value throughproft and loss | Recognized inproft and Loss Statement |
| Other than those designated as Fair value through Proft and Loss |
Adjusted against the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition |
Debt Instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The following are the measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments.
Amortized cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not a part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income on these financial assets is included in finance income using effective interest rate method.
Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income and Fair Value through profit/loss:
Assets that do not meet the criteria for measurement at amortized cost are measured at Fair value through Other comprehensive income unless the group elects the option to measure the same at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate an accounting mismatch.
Equity Instruments:
The group subsequently measures all Investments in equity instruments at fair value. Gain/Loss arising on fair value is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Dividend from such Investments are recognized in profit or loss as other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established.
Trade receivables:
Trade receivables are measured at amortized cost and are carried at values arrived after deducting allowances for expected credit losses and Impairment, if any.
132
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021
Impairment:
The group accounts for Impairment of financial assets based on the expected credit loss model. The group measures expected credit losses on a case to case basis.
Derecognition and write-off:
A financial asset is derecognized only when:
-
a) The contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset expires or
-
b) The group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
-
c) The group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Further a financial asset is derecognized only when the group transfers all risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is directly reduced and an equal expenditure is recognized when the entity has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
ii) Financial Liabilities:
Financial Liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Financial Liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost (unless the entity elects to measure it at Fair Value through Profit and Loss Statement to eliminate any accounting mismatch). Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the liability, using the effective interest method.
Financial Liabilities are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other gain / (loss). Financial Liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
w) Investment Property
Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:
-
a) Use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
-
b) Sale in the ordinary course of business
Investment properties are measured and presented at cost. Depreciation is calculated in accordance with IndAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment on straight-line basis. Useful life and depreciation method is reviewed on an annual basis in line with the requirements of the accounting standards.

Fair Value Hierarchies as per Indian Accounting Standard 114 – Fair Value measurement:
Level 1: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. The asset included in this hierarchy are listed equity shares that are carried at fair value using the closing prices of such instruments as at the close of the reporting period.
145
2020-21
NOTES FORMING PART OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH,2021
Level 2: Level 2 hierarchy uses inputs that are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. As on the balance sheet date there were no assets or liabilities for which the fair values were determined using Level 2 hierarchy.
Level 3: : Level 3 hierarchy uses inputs that are unobservable for determination of fair value. Level 3 inputs were used in determination of fair value of Investment in unquoted equity shares.
There were no transfers between fair value hierarchies during the reported years. The group’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
35. Financial Assets Risk Management:
-
a. The group is exposed to risks in the form of Market Risk, Liquidity Risk and Credit Risk. The risk management policies of the group are monitored by the board of directors. The nature and extent of risks have been disclosed in this note.
-
b. Market Risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
- I. Currency Risk:
The group has foreign currency receivable and payables denominated in currency other than the functional currency of the respective components exposing the group to currency risk. The group’s significant foreign currency exposures at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR is as below:

V. Credit Risk:
Credit Risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The management evaluates the Credit Risk of individual financial assets at each reporting date. An expected credit loss is recognized if the Credit Risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition of the financial instrument. In general, the group assumes that there has been a significant increase in Credit Risk since initial recognition if the amounts are 30 days past due from the initial or extended due date. However, in specific cases the Credit Risk is not assessed to be significant even if the asset is due beyond a period of 30 days depending on the credit history of the customer with the group and business relation with the customer. A default on a financial asset is when the counter party fails to make contractual payments within 1 year from the date they fall due from the initial or extended due date. The definition of default is adopted given the industry in which the entity operates.
Write off of Financial Assets:
To the extent a financial asset is irrecoverable, it is written off by recognizing an expense in the statement of profit and loss. Such assets are written off after obtaining necessary approvals from appropriate levels of management when it is estimated that there is no realistic probability of recovery and the amount of loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries, if any of amounts previously written off are recognized as an income in the statement of profit and loss in the period of recovery
The group considers the following to be indicators of remote possibility of recovery:
-
a. the counter party is in continuous default of principal or interest payments
-
b. the counter party has filed for Bankruptcy
-
c. the counter party has been incurring continuous loss during its considerable number its past accounting periods
The group assesses changes in the Credit Risk of a financial instrument taking into consideration ageing of bills outstanding on the reporting date, responsiveness of the counter party towards requests for payment, forward looking information including macro economic information and other party specific information that might come to the notice of the group. In general, it is assumed that the counter party continues his credit habits in future.
During the year 2017-18, the Parent Company wrote off 2,854.06 Lakhs of Trade Receivables and12,337.79 Lakhs of Loan Receivable from Ucal Holding Inc., (Previously Amtec Precision Products Inc) Wholly Owned Subsidiary. The Parent Company is awaiting approval from RBI for the said write off.
The group does not hold any Security/Collateral against its trade receivables, lease receivables, loans and deposits.

Significant Assumptions made for the valuation of Defined benefit Obligations include:
| As at 31st March 2021 | As at 31st March 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Assumptions | % | % |
| Discount Rate | 6.97% | 6.60% |

| MortalityRate(% of IALM 06-08) | 100.00% | 100.00% |
| Attrition Rate | 6.50% | 8.00% |
Risk Exposure:
Valuations of defined employee benefit obligations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary over time. Thus, the group is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
In addition to Interest Rate risk and liquidity risk explained hereinbefore the group is also exposed to the below risks on account of valuation of defined benefit obligations:
-
a. Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
-
b. Demographic Risk: The group has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The group is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumptions.
-
c. Regulatory Risk: In India, gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in the maximum limit on gratuity payout).
-
d. Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular Investment.
