Significant Accounting Policies |
3) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except as mentioned otherwise.
(a) | Basis of Consolidation
| i) | Subsidiaries
The Group consolidates entities which it owns or controls. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Entities are consolidated from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
| ii) | Investment in Associates (Equity - Accounted Investees)
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost which includes transaction costs and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Where the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, other adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases.
| iii) | Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Change in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interest is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interest’s share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if it results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance. Acquisition of some or all of the non-controlling interests is accounted for as a transaction with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. Consequently, the difference arising between the fair value of the purchase consideration paid and the carrying value of the non-controlling interests is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings that is attributable to the parent company. The associated cash flows are classified as financing activities. No goodwill is recognized as a result of such transactions.
| iv) | Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) | Business Combinations
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs. The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of contingent consideration and deferred consideration, if any. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.
(c) | Foreign Currency
| i) | Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gains or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for the differences on investment in equity securities designated at FVOCI wherein any exchange component of gain or loss is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (except on impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss). Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated. ii)Foreign Operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustment arising on acquisition, are translated to USD at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to USD at an average exchange rate applicable during the period. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR). However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
(d) | Financial Instruments
| i) | Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price measured under IFRS 15.
| ii) | Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
| • | it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
| • | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
| • | it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
| • | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin. In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:
| • | contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
| • | terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
| • | prepayment and extension features; and
| • | terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition. Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial assets at amortised cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss. Equity investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
| iii) | Derecognition
Financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized. Financial liabilities The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
| iv) | Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
| v) | Share Capital
Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity with par value of $0.0005 per share. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Class B Convertible Ordinary Shares Class B Convertible Ordinary shares (“Class B shares”) are classified as equity with par value of $0.0005 per share. The terms of issue generally provide that the Class B shares issued to any shareholder will have the same powers and relative participation rights as ordinary shares of the Company and shall vote together with ordinary shares as a single class on all matters on which the Company shareholders are entitled to vote, except as required by applicable law. Class B shares will be convertible into an equal number of ordinary shares, which shall be fully paid, non-assessable and free of any preemptive rights, of the Company on demand at the election of the holder, and will be automatically converted into an equal number of ordinary shares upon the transfer of Class B shares to another party. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of Class B shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchase and reissue of share capital (treasury shares) When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the reserve for own shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium. vi) Compound financial instruments Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes denominated in USD that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder at any point of time. The number of shares to be issued is fixed and is subject to certain adjustments in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or any conversion rate adjustments (in each case, as described in the indenture relating to the convertible notes) and does not vary with changes in fair value. The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured. Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss.
(e) | Property, Plant and Equipment
| i) | Recognition and Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within “other income/other operating expenses” in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not ready to use before such date are disclosed as capital work in progress under property, plant and equipment. Items of property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition.
| ii) | Subsequent Costs
Subsequent expenditure is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits deriving from the cost incurred will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the item can be reliably determined. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
| iii) | Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives for each component of property, plant and equipment since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
• | Computers | 3-6 years
• | Furniture and fixtures | 5-6 years
• | Office equipment | 1-7 years
• | Motor vehicles | 3-7 years
• | Building | 20 years
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease term or useful lives, whichever is shorter. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted as appropriate.
(f) | Intangible Assets and Goodwill
| i) | Goodwill
Goodwill represents excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
| ii) | Technology related Development Cost
Technology related development costs incurred by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenses incurred during the development stage. The costs related to planning and post implementation phases of development are expensed as incurred. Expenditure on research activities are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalized include the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and capitalized borrowing cost. Incidental operations are not necessary to bring an asset to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the income and related expenses of incidental operations are recognized immediately in profit or loss, and included in their respective classifications of income and expense.
| iii) | Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets comprise software that are acquired by the Group and intangible assets including customer relationship, brand/trade mark and non-compete acquired in a business combination. Software has finite useful lives and is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes any directly attributable expenses necessary to make the assets ready for use. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, these intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
| iv) | Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits derived from the cost incurred will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the item can be reliably determined. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
| v) | Amortization
Amortization of assets, other than goodwill, is calculated over the cost of the intangible assets, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
• | Technology related development costs | 2 - 5 years
• | Software | 3 - 5 years
• | Customer – related intangible assets (Customer Relationship) | 7-10 years
• | Contract – related intangible assets (Non-Compete) | 5-6 years
• | Marketing – related intangible assets (Brand / Trade Mark) | 7-10 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted as appropriate.
(g) | Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets are remeasured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated. Subsequently, if the criteria for held for sale is no longer met, the Group ceases to classify the asset as held for sale. The Group then measures such assets at the lower of:
| (a) | its carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation, or revaluations that would have been recognised had the asset not been classified as held for sale; and
| (b) | its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
The Group includes any required adjustment to the carrying amount of non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale in profit or loss in the period in which the criteria is no longer met. The Group presents that adjustment in the same caption in the statement of comprehensive income used to present a gain or loss, if any at the time of initial recognition.
(h) | Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling expenses.
(i) | Impairment
| i) | Non-derivative financial assets
Financial instruments and contract assets The Group recognises loss allowances for ECLs on:
| • | financial assets measured at amortised cost;
| • | debt investments measured at FVOCI; and
| • | contract assets.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured as 12-month ECLs:
| • | debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
| • | other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
The Group has elected to measure loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information. The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
| • | the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
| • | the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. Measurement of ECLs ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Credit-impaired financial assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognised in OCI. Write-off The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For customers, the Group makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
| i i) | Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, technology related development cost, software and other intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assumptions of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated to that level at which impairment testing is performed which reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(j) | Employee Benefits
| i) | Defined Contribution Plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as personnel expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
| ii) | Defined Benefit Plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed half yearly by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the year to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
| iii) | Other Long-term Employee Benefits
Benefits under the Group’s compensated absences policy constitute other long term employee benefits. The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
| iv) | Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
| v) | Share Based Payment
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as personnel expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. The increase in equity recognized in connection with a share based payment transaction is presented in the share based payment reserve, as a separate component in equity.
| vi) | Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits/when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted. (k) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assumptions of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is recognized as finance cost. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. A provision for onerous contract is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(l) | Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group provides travel products and services to leisure and corporate travelers in India and abroad. The revenue from rendering these services is recognized in the profit or loss upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. This is generally the case: 1) on the date of departure for tours and packages, 2) date of check-in for hotel booking business, 3) on the issuance of the ticket in the case of sale of airline tickets and 4) date of journey in case of sale of bus tickets. The Group considers both the traveler and travel supplier to be its customers. Income from the sale of airline tickets including commission earned is recognized as an agent on a net basis when the traveler books the airline ticket as the performance obligation is satisfied by the Group on issuance of an airline ticket to the traveler. Where the Group has procured in advance coupons of airline tickets for an anticipated future demand from travelers and assumes the risk of not utilising the coupons, income from the sale of such airline tickets is accounted on gross basis as the Group controls the services before such services are transferred to the traveler. Income from hotel reservations including commission earned is recognized on a net basis as an agent on the date of check-in as the performance obligation is satisfied by the Group on the date of check-in by the traveler. Where the Group has pre-booked the hotel room nights for an anticipated future demand from the traveler and assumes the risk of not utilising the available hotel room nights, income from the sale of such hotel room nights is accounted on gross basis as the Group controls the services before such services are transferred to the traveler. Income from tours and packages, including income on airline tickets sold to the travelers as a part of tours and packages is accounted on gross basis as the Group controls the services before such services are transferred to the traveler. Income from hotels and packages also includes amounts received from hotel suppliers against online promotions of hotels brands on the Company’s website. Income from bus ticketing, including commissions and fees earned from bus operators and convenience fees earned from the traveler is recognized on a net basis as an agent on the date of journey as the performance obligation is satisfied by the Group on the date of journey by the traveler. Revenue relating to contracts with travel suppliers which include incentive payments are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Income from other sources of the Group, primarily comprising advertising revenue, fees for facilitating access to its internet based platforms to travel insurance companies and brand alliance fees is being recognized as the services are being performed as per the terms of the contracts with respective supplier. Income from rail tickets reservation is recognized as an agent on a net commission earned basis on the date of journey as the performance obligation is satisfied by the Group on the date of journey by the traveler. Income from sale of airline tickets, hotel reservations, bus ticketing and rail ticketing is recorded on net basis (i.e., the amount billed to a traveler less amount paid to a supplier), except for certain category of transactions as discussed above, as the supplier is primarily responsible for providing the underlying travel services and the Group does not control the service provided by the supplier to the traveler. The Company provides loyalty programs under which participating customers earn loyalty points on current transactions that can be redeemed for future qualifying transactions. Under its customer loyalty programs, the Group allocates a portion of the consideration received to loyalty points that are redeemable against any future purchases of the Group’s services. This allocation is based on the relative stand-alone selling prices. The amount allocated to the loyalty program is deferred, and is recognised as revenue when loyalty points are redeemed or expire. Revenue is recognized net of cancellations, refunds, discounts, incentives and taxes. However, when the discount and other incentives offered to the traveler are higher than the income earned from the customers, the excess (i.e., the discount/incentive given to a traveler less income earned from the customers) on an individual transaction basis is classified under marketing and sales promotion expenses. In the event of cancellation of airline tickets, revenue recognized in respect of commissions earned by the company on such tickets is reversed and is netted off from the revenue earned during the fiscal period at the time the cancellation is made by the customers. The revenue from the sale of tours and packages, hotel reservations and bus ticketing is recognized on the customer’s departure, check-in date and date of journey, respectively. Cancellations, if any, do not impact revenue recognition since revenue is recognized upon the availment of services by the customer.
(m) | Marketing and Sales Promotion Costs
Marketing and sales promotion costs comprise of internet, television, radio and print media advertisement costs as well as event driven promotion cost for Group’s products and services. These costs include advertising on websites, television, print formats, search engine marketing, and any other media cost. Such customer inducement/acquisition costs for acquiring customers and promoting transactions across various booking platforms such as upfront cash incentives and select loyalty programs cost, when incurred are recorded as a reduction / deferral of revenue. In addition, when the discount and other incentives offered to the traveler are higher than the income earned from the customers, the excess (i.e., the discount/incentive given to a traveler less income earned from the customers) on an individual transaction basis is classified under marketing and sales promotion expenses.
(n) | Leases
On April 1, 2019 the Group had applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information for the year ended March 31, 2019 had not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Policy applicable from April 1, 2019 At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after April 1, 2019. As a lessee At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
| • | fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
| • | variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
| • | amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
| • | the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘loans and borrowings’ in the statement of financial position. Policy applicable before April 1, 2019
i) | Accounting for Finance Leases
On initial recognition, assets held under finance leases are recorded as property, plant and equipment and the related liability is recognized under borrowings. At inception of the lease, finance leases are recorded at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments under finance leases are apportioned between finance expense and reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
ii) | Accounting for Operating Leases
Payments made under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognized as a reduction of the lease expense, over the term of the lease.
(o) | Finance Income and Costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, foreign currency gains (net) and change in financial liability. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency losses (net), change in financial liability, impairment losses recognized on financial assets, including trade and other receivables and cost related to public offerings. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Interest income and cost is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
| • | the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
| • | the amortised cost of the financial liability.
(p) | Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. (q) Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares (including Class B shares). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (including Class B shareholders) of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares (including Class B shares) outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (including Class B shareholders) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares (including Class B shares) outstanding after adjusting for the effects of all potential dilutive ordinary shares (including Class B shares). (r) Operating Segments In accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, the operating segments used to present segment information are identified on the basis of internal reports used by the Group’s management to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. Results of the operating segments are reviewed regularly by the Group’s executive officers comprising of Group Executive Chairman, Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer, which has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. The Group has three reportable segments, i.e. air ticketing, hotels and packages and bus ticketing. In addition, the Group has made relevant entity-wide disclosures (refer note 6). Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment. Revenue directly attributable to the segments is considered segment revenue. Income from tours and packages is measured on a gross basis and any commission earned on hotel reservations booked is being recognized on a net basis as an agent on the date of check in except where the Group has pre-booked the hotel room nights for an anticipated future demand from the travelers and assumes the risk of not utilising the available hotel room nights, income from the sale of such hotel room nights is accounted on gross basis. Segment revenue of air ticketing segment is measured on a net basis except where the Group has procured in advance coupons of airline tickets for an anticipated future demand from travelers and assumes the risk of not utilising the coupons, income from the sale of such airline tickets is accounted on gross basis. Segment revenue of bus ticketing segment is measured on a net basis as an agent on the date of journey. Service cost includes cost of airline tickets, amounts paid to hotels and other service providers and other cost of providing services. Operating expenses other than service cost have not been allocated to the operating segments and are treated as unallocated/ common expenses. For the purposes of the CODM review, the measure of segment revenue (which includes adding back certain promotion expenses reported as a reduction of revenue) as reduced by service cost is a key operating metric, which is sufficient to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Segment capital expenditure does not include cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets as they cannot be allocated to segments and is not reviewed by the CODM. Segment assets do not include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, trade and other receivables, contract assets, term deposits, tax assets, corporate assets, other current assets and other non-current assets as they cannot be allocated to segments and are not reviewed by the CODM. Segment liabilities do not include trade and other payables, contract liabilities, employee benefits, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, loans and borrowings and other liabilities as they cannot be allocated to segments and are not reviewed by the CODM. (s) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits 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 change in value, and funds in transit. (t) Cash Flow Statement Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.
(u) | New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Amendment to IAS 1 On January 23, 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued “Classification of liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)” providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangement in place at the reporting date. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies to determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments also clarified the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and are to be applied retrospectively, with earlier application permitted. These amendments are applicable on Group for annual reporting periods beginning on April 1, 2022. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of amendment to IAS 1 on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 1 On February 12, 2021, the IASB has issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements which requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. These amendments are applicable on Group for annual reporting periods beginning on April 1, 2023. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. Amendments to IAS 8 On February 12, 2021 the IASB has issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and Errors which introduced a definition of ‘accounting estimates’ and included amendments to IAS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. These amendments are applicable on Group for annual reporting periods beginning on April 1, 2023. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. Amendments to IAS 12 In May 7, 2021, the IASB amends IAS 12 to provide a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments clarify that Companies are required to recognise deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. These amendments are applicable on Group for annual reporting periods beginning on April 1, 2023. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. Amendments to IAS 16 On May 14, 2020 the IASB has issued amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) which amends the standard to prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. These amendments are applicable on Group for annual reporting periods beginning on April 1, 2022. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. Amendment to IAS 37 On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued “Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)”, amending the standard regarding costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendment specifies that the “cost of fulfilling” a contract comprises the “costs that relate directly to the contract”. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application is permitted. These amendments are applicable on Group for annual reporting periods beginning on April 1, 2022. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of amendment to IAS 37 on its consolidated financial statements.
