a. Revenue Expenditure
PI Industries Limited
Corporate Overview Management Reports Financial Statements
The Company participates in defined contribution and benefit schemes, the assets of which are held (where funded) in
separately administered funds. For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the statements of profit or loss is the
total of contributions payable in the year.
Provident fund
In accordance with the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (EPF and MP Act), employees are
entitled to receive benefits under the Provident Fund. Employers and employees both contribute @12% of wages in contribution
accounts. Further, the employers also contribute towards administration of the benefits under the EPF and MP Act. All employees
have an option to make additional voluntary contributions as permissible under the Act. These contributions are made to the
fund administered and managed by the Employee Provident Fund organization. The Company has no further obligations under
the fund managed by the Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) beyond its monthly contributions which are charged
to the statements of profit or loss in the period they are incurred. The benefits are paid to employees on their retirement or
resignation from the EPFO.
Gratuity Plan
In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act of 1972, PI Industries Limited has established a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity
Plan”). The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to the employees at the time of retirement or resignation (after 5 years
of continued services of employment), being an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the number
of years of employment with the Company. Based on actuarial valuations conducted as at year end, a provision is recognised
in full for the benefit obligation over and above the funds held in the Gratuity Plan. Remeasurements as a result of experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income.
The liabilities for compensated absence namely earned and sick leave 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 as the present
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting
period using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in profit and loss.
The Company has recognised an expense of 95 (Previous Year 84) towards the defined contribution plan.
III. Reconciliation of Present value of Defined Benefit Obligation and Fair Value of Plan Assets
PI Industries Limited
Corporate Overview Management Reports Financial Statements
Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such company is exposed to
various risks as follow -
A) Salary Increases- Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future
valuations will also increase the liability.
B) Investment Risk – If Plan is funded then the mismatch between assets and liabilities and actual return on assets being lower
than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
C) Discount Rate : Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
D) Mortality & disability – Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact
the liabilities.
E) Withdrawals – Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at
subsequent valuations can impact Plan’s liability.
The provision for long term compensated absences covers the Company’s liability for earned and sick leave, the amount of
provision recognised is 119 (March 31, 2018 103).
The Company provides share-based payment schemes to its employees. The relevant details of the scheme are as follows:
In December 2010, the Board of Directors approved the PII ESOP 2010 Scheme in order to reward the employees for their
past association and performance as well as to motivate them to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company
(including subsidiary companies) with an intent to attract and retain talent in the organization. The aforesaid scheme was duly
approved by shareholders in its EGM held on January 21, 2011 and is administered through independent trust. The Compensation
Committee of the Board has granted following options under PII ESOP 2010 Scheme to certain category of employees as per
criteria laid down by Compensation Committee of the Board.
III. Weighted average Fair Value of Options granted during the year
* No options granted during the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
IV. The weighted average market price of options exercised during the year ended March 31, 2019 is ` 84 (March 31, 2018 is ` 88 )
V. Method and Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended:
The fair value has been calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model
* No options granted during the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

Total of future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases for each of the following periods:
The Company has entered into finance leasees for land in Panoli and Jambusar (Gujarat). Future minimum lease payments
under finance leases for all the land is absolute ` 2, 20, 010 per annum. For land in Panoli, the Company has a renewal option for
further 2 periods with 100% increase in lease rentals and for land in Jambusar, the Company has a renewal option upon expiry
as may be agreed between the parties or as may be determined by Development Committee from time to time. The amount
of minimum lease payments and their present value is not material.
* Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of the cash
outflows, if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of the judgements/ decisions pending with
various forums / authorities.
The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions
are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its financial statements. The Company does not
expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the recent Supreme Court Judgment in case of "Vivekananda
Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal" and the related circular (Circular No.
C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation
in relation to non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the
purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions
Act, 1952 and accordingly, no provision has been made in these Financial Statements.
An operating segment is defined as a component of the entity that represents business activities from which it earns revenues and
incurs expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. The operating segments are based on the Company’s
internal reporting structure and the manner in which operating results are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker
(CODM).
The Company has evaluated the applicability of segment reporting and has concluded that since the Company is operating
in the field of Agro Chemicals both in the domestic and export markets and the CODM reviews the overall performance of the
agro chemicals business, accordingly the Company has one reportable business segment viz. Agro Chemicals.

37 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are
(a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the
financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company
has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of
each level follows underneath the table.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value - recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost for which fair values are disclosed
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short term
loans, current financial assets, trade payables, current financial liabilities and borrowings approximate their carrying amount,
largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Long-term debt has been contracted at floating rates of interest, which
are reset at short intervals. Accordingly, the carrying value of such long-term debt approximates fair value. Fair value for security
deposits (other than perpetual security deposits) has been presented in the above table. Fair value for all other non-current
assets and liabilities is equivalent to the amortised cost, interest rate on them is equivalent to the market rate of interest.
The table shown above analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been
defined below:
Level 1 - This includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The mutual funds are valued using closing net assets
value (NAV).
Level 2 – The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs
required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There are no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.
- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The fair values for security deposits (assets & liabilities) were calculated based on present values of cash flows and the discount
rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy
due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's board of directors has the overall responsibility
for the management of these risks and is supported by Management Advisory Committee that advises on the appropriate
financial risk governance framework. The Company has the risk management policies and systems in place and are reviewed
regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and price risk along with Company's activities. The Company's audit committee
oversees how management monitors compliance with the financial risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the
adequacy of risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and impact of hedge
accounting in the financial statements.
i. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligation, and arises from the operating activities primarily (trade receivables) and from its financing activities
including cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, derivatives and other financial instruments. The carrying amount
of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure and is as follows:
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of
the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company has established a credit policy under which each customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness
before the Company’s credit terms are offered. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits
and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal
course of business. Credit limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically. Any sales order exceeding
those limits require approval from the appropriate authority.
The concentration of credit risk is limited in domestic market due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.
The Company's exports are mainly carried out in countries which have stable economic conditions, where the concentration
is relatively higher, however the credit risk is low as the customers have good credit ratings.
The Company computes an allowance for impairment of trade receivables based on a simplified approach, that represents
its expected credit losses. The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss of trade receivables.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experienced over the past 3 years. These loss rates are adjusted by considering
the available, reasonable and supportive forward looking information.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and expected credit loss:
Reconciliation of loss allowance provision – Trade receivables and Interest and Other charges recoverable from customers
March March
31, 2019 31, 2018
Opening balance 273 214
Changes in loss allowance 169 59
Closing balance 442 273
Cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, mutual funds and other financial instruments
Credit risk from balances with banks and other financial instruments is managed by Company in accordance with its
policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each
counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the management, and may be updated throughout the year.
Company also invests in mutual funds based on the credit ratings, these are reviewed for safety, liquidity and yield on
regular basis.
Impairment on cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other financial instruments has been measured on the 12-month
expected credit loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Company considers that its cash and cash
equivalents have low credit risk based on external credit ratings of counterparties.
Derivatives
The derivatives are entered into with banks and financial institution counterparties which have low credit risk based on
external credit ratings of counterparties.
The gross carrying amount of financial assets, net of impairment losses recognized represents the maximum credit exposure.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was as follows:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is
to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. Due to
the dynamic nature of underlying businesses, the Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under
committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecast of Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below)
and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the company's liquidity management
policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these,
monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt
financing plans.
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross
and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

Corporate Overview Management Reports Financial Statements
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will
affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management
is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return.
The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk), interest rate risk and
market value of its investments. Thus the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities
and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
The company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to
the US$ and JPY. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency (`). The Company uses forward exchange
contracts to hedge its currency risk and are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not for trading and speculative
purposes. These forward exchange contracts, carried at fair value, may have varied maturities depending upon the primary
host contract requirement and risk management strategy of the Company. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the
volatility of the ` cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
The Company’s risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 100% for first year and balance up to 70% of the net
exposure with forward exchange contracts. The remaining exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling
foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short term requirements. Hedging decisions are based on rolling
forex cash flow statement prepared and reviewed on a monthly basis. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
The foreign exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable future sales
transaction, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. The Company's hedge policy allows for effective hedge relationships to be
established. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective
assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedged instrument. The
Company enters into hedge instruments where the critical terms of hedging instrument are aligned with terms of the
hedged item.
Ineffectiveness is recognised on a cash flow hedge where the cumulative change in the value of the hedging instruments
exceeds on an absolute basis the change in the value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge
ineffectiveness may arise due to the following:
- the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged item differ (i.e. nominal amounts, timing of the forecast
transaction, interest resets changes from what was originally estimated), or
- differences arise between the credit risk inherent within the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
The currency profile of financial assets and financial liabilities as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 expressed in Indian
Rupees (`) are as below:

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee at March 31 would have affected the measurement
of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown
below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of
forecast sales and purchases. Impact of hedging, if any has not been considered here. A 1% increase or decrease is used
when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of
the reasonably possible change in foreign currency rate.
PI Industries Limited
Corporate Overview Management Reports Financial Statements
The Company's main interest rate risk arises from long term foreign currency and working capital borrowings at variable
rates. Company's investments are primarily in fixed deposits which are short term in nature and do not expose it to interest
rate risk. The Company regularly evaluates the interest rate hedging requirement to align with interest rate views and
defined risk appetite, in order to ensure most cost effective interest rate risk management.
The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the
Company is as follows.
The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
A reasonably possible change of 50 bp in interest rates would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the
amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain
constant.
The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investment in mutual funds and classified in the balance sheet as fair value
through profit and loss. Mutual fund investments are susceptible to market price risk, mainly arising from changes in the
interest rates or market yields which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, due to very short tenor
of the underlying portfolio in the liquid schemes, these do not pose any significant price risk. Company reviews these mutual
fund investments based on safety, liquidity and yield on regular basis.

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against US dollars at March 31 would have affected
the measurement of foreign forward exchange contract designated as cash flow hedges and affected equity and profit or
loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant
and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. A 1% increase or decrease is used when reporting foreign currency
risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change
in foreign currency rate.
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and
to sustain future development of the business. The primary objective of the Company's Capital management is to maximise
shareholder's value. The Company manages its capital and makes adjustment to it in light of the changes in economic and
market conditions.
The Company manages capital using gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity. The gearing ratio at the end of
the reporting period was as follows:

The company applied IND AS 115 for the first time by using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial
application of 1 April, 2018. Under this method, the Company recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying IND AS 115 as
an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 April, 2018. Comparative prior period has not been adjusted.
Entities applying the modified retrospective method can elect to apply the revenue standard only to contracts that are not
completed as at the date of initial application (that is, they would ignore the effects of applying the revenue standard to
contracts that were completed prior to the date of initial application). The Company elected to apply the standard only to
contracts that are not completed as at the date of initial application.

The following table presents the amounts by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current year ended
March 31, 2019 by the application of IND AS 115 as compared with the previous revenue recognition requirements. Line items
that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and totals disclosed cannot be
recalculated from the numbers provided. The adjustments are explained in more detail by standard below:
PI Industries Limited
Corporate Overview Management Reports Financial Statements
Application of IND AS 115 has resulted in change in recognition criteria of revenue from contracts wherein the Company's
performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the Company and the entity has an enforceable right to
payment for performance completed till date. This has resulted in recognition of revenue over the period of time rather than
at a point in time. Refer accounting policies for details. Management has determined that it is highly probable that there
will be no rescission of the contract and no significant reversal in the amount recognised in revenue will occur. Accordingly,
management has recognised revenue on these contracts over the period of time and not at a point in time as was done
during the earlier years.
With adoption of IND AS 115, the Company has changed the presentation of certain amounts to reflect the terminology of
IND AS 115:
Liabilities in relation to refund/ return liabilities for the expected returns were previously being presented as net off from Trade
Receivable are now included in other current liabilities as refund/ return liabilities. Further, the Company has right to recover
these return product from the customer and accordingly, an adjustment was earlier made in Inventories of finished goods.
However, these goods are not in control of the entity and accordingly, with adoption of IND AS 115, amount previously
presented as adjustment to Inventories will now be presented separately under Other Current Assets. The asset is measured
by reference to the former carrying amount of the product. The cost to recover the products are not material because the
customer usually returns the product in a saleable condition.
The Board of Directors in the meeting held on May 17, 2019 have recommended final dividend for the year ended March 31,
2019 which is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting. Refer note 13(B) for details.
In March 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2018,
notifying IND AS 116, ‘Leases’. The amendments are applicable to the Company from April 01, 2019. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Balance sheet. However, the impact on Statement of Profit & Loss is not
expected to be material.

Goods and Service Tax (GST) has been effective from July 01, 2017. Consequently, excise duty, value added tax (VAT), Service
tax etc. have been replaced with GST. Until June 30, 2017, ‘Sale of products’ included the amount of excise duty recovered on
sales. With effect from July 01, 2017, ‘Sale of products’ excludes the amount of GST recovered. Accordingly, revenue from ‘Sale of
Products’ and ‘Revenue from operations’ for the year ended March 31, 2019 are not comparable with those of the previous year.
See note 43 for details about restatements for change in accounting policies consequent to adoption of IND AS 115.

31 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
In respect of entities incorporated in India, the Group participates in defined contribution and benefit schemes, the assets of
which are held (where funded) in separately administered funds. For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to the
statements of profit or loss is the total of contributions payable in the year.
Provident Fund
In accordance with the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (EPF and MP Act), employees are entitled
to receive benefits under the Provident Fund. Employers and employees both contribute @12% of wages in contribution accounts.
Further, the employers also contribute towards administration of the benefits under the EPF and MP Act. All employees have an option
to make additional voluntary contributions as permissible under the Act. These contributions are made to the fund administered
and managed by the Employee Provident Fund organization. The Group has no further obligations under the fund managed by the
Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) beyond its monthly contributions which are charged to the statements of profit or loss
in the period they are incurred. The benefits are paid to employees on their retirement or resignation from the EPFO.
Gratuity Plan
In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act of 1972, PI Industries Limited has established a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity
Plan”). The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to the employees at the time of retirement or resignation (after 5 years
of continued services of employment), being an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the number
of years of employment with the Group. Based on actuarial valuations conducted as at year end, a provision is recognised in
full for the benefit obligation over and above the funds held in the Gratuity Plan. Remeasurements as a result of experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income.
The liabilities for compensated absence namely earned and sick leave 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 as the present
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting
period using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in profit and loss.
The Group has recognised an expense of ` 96 (Previous Year ` 84) towards the defined contribution plan.
The plan assets are managed by the Gratuity Trust formed by the Group. The management of 100% of the funds is entrusted
with the Life Insurance Corporation of India, HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Ltd. and Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life
Insurance Ltd., whose pattern of investment is not available with the Group.
III Reconciliation of Present value of Defined Benefit Obligation and Fair Value of Plan Assets
PI Industries Limited
Corporate Overview Management Reports Financial Statements
Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such Group is exposed to
various risks as follow -
A) Salary Increases- Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future
valuations will also increase the liability.
B) Investment Risk – If Plan is funded then the mismatch between assets and liabilities and actual return on assets being lower
than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
C) Discount Rate: Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
D) Mortality & disability – Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact
the liabilities.
E) Withdrawals – Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at
subsequent valuations can impact Plan’s liability.
The provision for long term compensated absences covers the Group’s liability for earned and sick leave, the amount of provision
recognised is ` 119 (March 31, 2018 ` 103).
The Group provides share-based payment schemes to its employees. The relevant details of the scheme are as follows:
In December 2010, the Board of Directors approved the PII ESOP 2010 Scheme in order to reward the employees for their past
association and performance as well as to motivate them to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Group (including
subsidiary companies) with an intent to attract and retain talent in the organization. The aforesaid scheme was duly approved by
shareholders in its EGM held on January 21, 2011 and is administered through independent trust. The Compensation Committee
of the Board has granted following options under PII ESOP 2010 Scheme to certain category of employees as per criteria laid
down by Compensation Committee of the Board.
III Weighted average Fair Value of Options granted during the year

between the parties or as may be determined by Development Committee from time to time. The amount of minimum lease
payments and their present value is not material.
34 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Group has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are
required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its financial statements. The Group does not expect
the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position.
The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the recent Supreme Court Judgment in case of “Vivekananda
“
Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal” and the related circular
(Circular No. C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident
Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of “basic wages” of the relevant
employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employees’ Provident Funds &
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and accordingly, no provision has been made in these Financial Statements”.
35 OPERATING SEGMENT
n operating segment is defined as a component of the entity that represents business activities from which it earns revenues and
A
incurs expenses and for which discrete financial information is available. The operating segments are based on the Group’s internal
reporting structure and the manner in which operating results are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
The Group has evaluated the applicability of segment reporting and has concluded that since the Group is operating in the
field of Agro Chemicals both in the domestic and export markets and the CODM reviews the overall performance of the agro
chemicals business, accordingly the Group has one reportable business segment viz. Agro Chemicals.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are
(a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in
the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group
has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of
each level follows underneath the table.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value - recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost for which fair values are disclosed
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short
term loans, contract assets, current financial assets, trade payables, current financial liabilities and borrowings approximate
their carrying amount, largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Long-term debt has been contracted
at floating rates of interest, which are reset at short intervals. Accordingly, the carrying value of such long-term debt
approximates fair value. Fair value for security deposits (other than perpetual security deposits) has been presented in the
above table. Fair value for all other non-current assets and liabilities is equivalent to the amortised cost, interest rate on
them is equivalent to the market rate of interest.
The table shown above analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have
been defined below:
Level 1 - This includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The mutual funds are valued using closing net
assets value (NAV).
Level 2 – The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation
techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all
significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
(i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There are no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance
sheet date
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The fair values for security deposits (assets & liabilities) were calculated based on present values of cash flows and the
discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value
hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit.
The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Group’s board of directors has the overall responsibility for
the management of these risks and is supported by Management Advisory Committee that advises on the appropriate financial
risk governance framework. The Group has risk management policies and systems in place which are reviewed regularly to
reflect changes in market conditions and price risk along with the Group’s activities. The Group’s audit committee oversees how
management monitors compliance with the financial risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of
risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and impact of hedge
accounting in the financial statements.
I. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligation, and arises from the operating activities primarily (trade receivables) and from its financing activities
including cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, derivatives and other financial instruments. The carrying amount
of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure and is as follows:
T he Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of
the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Group has established a credit policy under which each customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the
Group’s credit terms are offered. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously
monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. Credit
limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically. Any sales order exceeding those limits require approval
from the appropriate authority.
The concentration of credit risk is limited in domestic market due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.
The Group’s exports are mainly carried out in countries which have stable economic conditions, where the concentration
is relatively higher, however the credit risk is low as the customers have good credit ratings.
T he Group computes an allowance for impairment of trade receivables based on a simplified approach, that represents
its expected credit losses. The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss of trade receivables.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experienced over the past 3 years. These loss rates are adjusted by considering
the available, reasonable and supportive forward looking information.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and expected credit loss:
Reconciliation of loss allowance provision – Trade receivables and Interest and Other charges recoverable from customer
Cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, mutual funds and other financial instruments
Credit risk from balances with banks and other financial instruments is managed by Group in accordance with its policy.
Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each
counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the management, and may be updated throughout the year.
Group also invests in mutual funds based on the credit ratings, these are reviewed for safety, liquidity and yield on regular
basis.
Impairment on cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other financial instruments has been measured on the 12-month
expected credit loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Group considers that its cash and cash
equivalents have low credit risk based on external credit ratings of counterparties.
Derivatives
T he derivatives are entered into with banks and financial institution counterparties which have low credit risk based on
external credit ratings of counterparties.
T he gross carrying amount of financial assets, net of impairment losses recognized represents the maximum credit exposure.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was as follows:
L iquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities
that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as
far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Due to the dynamic nature
of underlying businesses, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecast of Group’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below)
and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the Group’s liquidity management policy
involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these,
monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt
financing plans.
The Group had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:
T he following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross
and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

arket risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will
M
affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is
to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return.
T he Group is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk (currency risk), interest rate risk and
market value of its investments. Thus the Group’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities
and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
T he Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the
US$ and JPY. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency (`). The Group uses forward exchange contracts to
hedge its currency risk and are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not for trading and speculative purposes. These
forward exchange contracts, carried at fair value, may have varied maturities depending upon the primary host contract
requirement and risk management strategy of the Group. The objective of the hedges is to minimise the volatility of the `
cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 100% of the net exposure with forward exchange contracts.
The remaining exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary
to address short term requirements. Hedging decisions are based on rolling forex cash flow statement prepared and
reviewed on a monthly basis. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
T he foreign exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable future sales
transaction, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. The Group’s hedge policy allows for effective hedge relationships to be
established. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective
assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedged instrument. The
Group enters into hedge instruments where the critical terms of hedging instrument are aligned with terms of the hedged
item.
Ineffectiveness is recognised on a cash flow hedge where the cumulative change in the value of the hedging instruments
exceeds on an absolute basis the change in the value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge
ineffectiveness may arise due to the following:
- the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged item differ (i.e. nominal amounts, timing of the forecast
transaction, interest resets changes from what was originally estimated), or
- differences arise between the credit risk inherent within the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
The currency profile of financial assets and financial liabilities as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 expressed in Indian
Rupees (`) are as below:
Non derivative
The following significant exchange rates have been applied during the year.

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee at March 31 would have affected the measurement
of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown
below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of
forecast sales and purchases. Impact of hedging, if any has not been considered here. A 1% increase or decrease is used
when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment
of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency rate.
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long term foreign currency and working capital borrowings at variable rates.
Group’s investments are primarily in fixed deposits which are short term in nature and do not expose it to interest rate
risk. The Group regularly evaluates the interest rate hedging requirement to align with interest rate views and defined risk
appetite, in order to ensure most cost effective interest rate risk management.
The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group
is as follows.
T he Group does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
reasonably possible change of 50 bp in interest rates would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts
A
shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.
T he Group’s exposure to price risk arises from investment in mutual funds and classified in the balance sheet as fair value
through profit and loss. Mutual fund investments are susceptible to market price risk, mainly arising from changes in the
interest rates or market yields which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, due to very short tenor
of the underlying portfolio in the liquid schemes, these do not pose any significant price risk. Group reviews these mutual
fund investments based on safety, liquidity and yield on regular basis.

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against US dollars at March 31 would have affected
the measurement of foreign forward exchange contract designated as cash flow hedges and affected equity and profit or
loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant
and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. A 1% increase or decrease is used when reporting foreign currency
risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change
in foreign currency rate.
T he Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain
future development of the business. The primary objective of the Group’s Capital management is to maximise shareholder’s
value. The Group manages its capital and makes adjustment to it in light of the changes in economic and market conditions.
The Group manages capital using gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity. The gearing ratio at the end of the
reporting period was as follows:
As at As at

The Group applied IND AS 115 for the first time by using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial
application of 1 April, 2018. Under this method, the Group recognised the cumulative effect of initially applying IND AS 115 as an
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 April, 2018. Comparative prior period has not been adjusted.
Entities applying the modified retrospective method can elect to apply the revenue standard only to contracts that are not
completed as at the date of initial application (that is, they would ignore the effects of applying the revenue standard to
contracts that were completed prior to the date of initial application). The Group elected to apply the standard only to contracts
that are not completed as at the date of initial application.

Application of IND AS 115 has resulted in change in recognition criteria of revenue from contracts wherein the Group’s
performance does not create an asset with alternative use to the Group and the entity has an enforceable right to payment
for performance completed till date. This has resulted in recognition of revenue over the period of time rather than at a
point in time. Refer accounting policies for details. Management has determined that it is highly probable that there will
be no rescission of the contract and no significant reversal in the amount recognised in revenue will occur. Accordingly,
management has recognised revenue on these contracts over the period of time and not at a point in time as was done
during the earlier years.
With adoption of IND AS 115, the Group has changed the presentation of certain amounts to reflect the terminology of IND
AS 115:
Liabilities in relation to refund/ return liabilities for the expected returns were previously being presented as net off from
Trade Receivable are now included in other current liabilities as refund/ return liabilities. Further, the Group has right to
recover these return product from the customer and accordingly, an adjustment was earlier made in Inventories of finished
goods. However, these goods are not in control of the entity and accordingly, with adoption of IND AS 115, amount
previously presented as adjustment to Inventories will now be presented separately under Other Current Assets. The asset
is measured by reference to the former carrying amount of the product. The cost to recover the products are not material
because the customer usually returns the product in a saleable condition.
T he Board of Directors in the meeting held on May 17, 2019 have recommended final dividend for the year ended March 31,
2019 which is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting. Refer note 14(B) for details.
In March 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules,
2018, notifying IND AS 116, ‘Leases’. The amendments are applicable to the Group from April 01, 2019. The Group is currently
evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Balance sheet. However, the impact on Statement of Profit & Loss is not
expected to be material.
