8. KISAN HEET URJA SHAKTI YOJANA (KHUSY)

KHUSY is a High Voltage Distribution System of installing smaller size of Distribution Transformers and there by reduction of LT Lines up to negligible level by converting it into HV Line.

In rural area the existing distribution systems consists of 11KV Lines with lengthy 3 Ph 4 wire LT lines, in this system, the Line Losses are very high, Voltage profile and reliability are also unsatisfactory.

So, to improve Voltage profile in rural area the small capacity of Distribution Transformers are to be installed by extending 11KV Line as possible as nearer to the load and Distribution Transformer of the capacity of 10, 16 KVA are erected and supply is released to consumer through a short length of

24 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

LT Lines preferably through insulated overhead cables known as Aerial Bunched Cable (ABC)/PVC Cable.

In Order to ensure pilferage free system, one of several remedial measures is reducing LT line (System) being exposed to theft. The whole idea is to have Less LT system and gradually move on to LT Less system. Even the short LT Lines are to be laid using ABC/PVC Cables.

During the year 2019-20, it was planned to install 6,048 small capacity transformers at an estimated cost of 7,500 lakhs under Kisan Heet Urja Shakti Yojna (KHUSY) - HVDS, to improve the voltage profile and reducing the LT line losses in PGVCL area. Against this, 6,471 Small capacity transformers at a cost of 7,508.40 lakhs have been installed.

For the year 2019-20, a total budget provision of 3500.00 lacs was made under Energy Conservation Programme.

HVDS is Conversion of Low Voltage Distribution System(LVDS) into High Voltage Distribution System(HVDS) by installing smaller size of Distribution Transformers and thereby reduction of LT Lines up to negligible level by converting it into HV Line.

To improve Voltage profile in rural area the small capacity of Distribution Transformers are to be installed by extending 11KV Line as nearer to the load as possible and Distribution Transformer of the capacity of 10, 16 KVA are erected and supply is released to consumer through a short length of LT Lines preferably through insulated overhead cables known as Aerial Bunched Cable (ABC)/PVC Cable. In Order to ensure pilferage free system, one of several remedial measures is reducing LT line (System) being exposed to theft. The whole idea is to have Less LT system and gradually move on to LT Less system. Even the short LT Lines are to be laid using ABC/PVC Cables.

6. In case, the Company has failed to spend two percent of the average net profit of the last three financial years or any part thereof, the Company shall provide the reasons for not/ short spending the amount in its Boards’ report:

The financial year 2019-20 was the 6th year for CSR activities under the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has spent 137.25 Lakhs during F.Y. 2019-20 against the stipulated 2% amount of 211.89 Lakhs for F.Y. 2019-20. Infact, there is no unspent amount as such for F.Y. 2019-20 but due to the reasons given below contribution of 74.64 Lakhs to CM Relief Fund for spending on COVID-19 related activities is not booked under CSR.

The Company has contributed 74.64 Lakhs during F.Y. 2019-20 to the Chief Ministers’ Relief Fund, Gujarat for spending on Covid-19 pandemic related Disaster Management activities. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Govt. of India had issued clarification dated 23-03-2020 on spending of CSR Funds for COVID-19. Accordingly Company contributed 74.64 Lakhs to CM Relief Fund with approval of CSR Committee and the Board with special objective in the situation for Disaster Relief for spending on COVID-19 affected areas and considered the same as part of CSR. Subsequently, on 10-04-2020, MCA issued Covid-19 related Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on CSR wherein it was clarified that CM Relief Fund or State Relief Fund for COVID-19 is not included in Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013 and therefore, any contribution to such funds shall not qualify as admissible CSR expenditure.

GUVNL has represented to the Govt. of Gujarat vide letter dated 28-07-2020 to take up the matter with Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India so that contributions made to CM Relief Fund for COVID-19 by GUVNL and Subsidiary Companies (especially between 23-03-2020 to 10-04-2020) are allowed as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure under schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013. Response to the said representation is awaited.

The Board of Directors at its meeting held on 29-09-2020 decided that in view of the clarification issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India vide General Circular No. 15/2020, dated 10th April 2020 and considering the fact that response to the GUVNL representation to the Govt. of Gujarat is awaited, the Contribution made by the Company to the CM Relief Fund, Gujarat for the F.Y. 2019-20 for spending on Covid-19 related activities may not be booked as CSR Spending for the F.Y. 2019-20 and the same be considered as Contribution/donation to CM Relief Fund under Section 181 of the Companies Act, 2013.

GUVNL being a Govt. Utility has adopted an approach of supplementing Govt. Schemes and initiatives. This creates a very narrow space for identification and implementation of activities.

48 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

GSECL Board’s explanation pursuant to Section 134(3)(f) of the Companies Act, 2013 on qualification made by the Statutory Auditors in their Audit Report on the Financial Statements for the FY 2019-20:

Sr. Auditors’ Qualifications Response / Remedial Measures No

1. The company recognizes replaced items of Capital spares are required to be maintained and Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) as addition replaced as and when required at irregular of PPE. However, carrying amount of old parts interval. Depreciation on plant & machinery is which are replaced, not derecognized from PPE. charged as per the applicable rates, whereas This is not in accordance with Ind AS – 16 depreciation on capital spares is charged over “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The effect of useful life of the Plant & Machinery. Therefore non-compliance of Ind AS – 16 is not Plant and machinery as well as capital spares ascertainable. are depreciated on regular basis as specified under IND AS-16 At the time of replacement of capital spares, original cost for the whole equipment may be available but the cost of damaged spares parts cannot be determined because the same were purchased in lot along with group of machineries. As such, depreciation charged up to the date of replacement is also not ascertainable. The replaced spares has not utility and therefore market value is not available. Negligible value is considered for these specified spares. This practice is commonly adopted by all the Companies engaged in generation of power. Therefore, the company has also adopted the same since beginning.

Further to state that Fixed assets are normally being installed for more than 15 to 20 years and polices regarding treatment of fixed assets & the related capital spares and its depreciation are 59 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

being consistently followed since the inception of the company and any sudden change after completion of substantial period of usage of fixed assets may distort the profitability statement of the company.

Capital spares that can be used only in relation to specific assets are to be discarded only when the specific fixed assets is disposed off. In other word such spares are an integral part of fixed assets which also get depreciated over a period of useful life of assets.

And when the related assets are discarded, the WDV of related capital spares is also to be written off. Hence in a broader sense the WDV of fixed assets would be considered rather than considering WDV of the capital spares at the time of replacement..

Depreciation is being continually charged on the capital spares even though replaced during any of the year of the useful life of the assets instead of writing off WDV in to the profit and loss account in the year of replacement Hence expense are just postponed during the residual life of the fixed assets Thus. Profitability will get set off at the end of life of the relevant fixed assets. Hence true and fair view of the profitability of all respective years remains intact.

The company recognizes capital spares as PPE While treating the item as capital or revenue and other spares as inventory based on pre- company has to see its usefulness and benefits defined code system and not in accordance with to be derived over a period of time.

While the routine operation and maintenance spares are classified under the inventory and charged to revenue as and when consumed for maintenance purpose and accordingly pre- defined code in e urja system is assigned.

GUJARAT ENERGY TRANSMISSION CORPORATION LIMITED

GETCO Board’s explanation pursuant to Section 134(3)(f) of the Companies Act, 2013 on qualification made by the Statutory Auditors in their Audit Report on the Financial Statements for the FY 2019-20:

Sr. Audit Qualifications Management Reply No

1. The Company has reversed revenue from In accordance with MYT framework, GETCO had transmission charges amounting to 12,629 filed petition for True-up of FY 2018-19 and Lakhs on the basis of debit note received from determination of tariff for FY 2020-21 before the Holding Company, M/s. Gujarat Urja Vikas GERC in the year FY 2019-20. GERC has Nigam Ltd., (GUVNL) vide GERC’s Tariff Order undertaken True-up of expenses of GETCO for dated 26-03-2020, Case No. 1837 of 2019, which FY 2018-19. In the True-up exercise, GERC has clearly states that it is effective from 1st April, arrived at a revenue surplus of 132.94 Crore. 2020. However, the Company has given the It is to mention that the determination of revenue effect of the same during the Financial Year surplus/deficit to be recovered and the mode and 2019-2020. The impact of the said surplus timing of recovery are two distinct aspects. The amounting to 12,629 Lakhs has already been former determines the surplus/deficit revenue considered / adjusted by GERC while charged by GETCO to its consumers based on determining the tariff for financial year 2020- difference between actual and rate determined 2021. Hence, the profit for the financial year based on MYT framework and the latter as to 2019-2020 is understated to that extent and how that is to be made good to the consumer. liabilities of GUVNL as on March 31st, 2020 is overstated to that extent. The implementation of tariff w.e.f. 1st April 2020 is with respect to applicability of revised transmission charges. Whereas, the credit amount is with respect to surplus amount recovered by GETCO in previous year FY 2018- 19 for which effect was given in the year FY 2019- 20, upon receipt of the order determining the same.

It is to mention that under the regulatory regime, the treatment for revenue surplus / loss pursuant 62 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

to True up exercise is to be given as per the provisions of Multi Year Tariff Regulations. Whereas, for finalization of Accounts, the treatment for such gain/loss is to be given following the provisions of Accounting Standards.

As per the Regulatory provisions, the surplus / loss of previous year i.e. FY 2018-19 is to be adjusted in the tariff of ensuing year i.e. FY 2020- 21. While as per Accounting Standards, any losses/gain on account of variation in price adjustment of the year is to be accounted upon determination of the same. As per the Standards, such variable price/revenue adjustments, even where such gain/loss of respective year is determined after completion of such financial year but before finalization of accounts, the same needs to be accounted for.

In case of GETCO, the surplus for FY 2018-19 was recognized vide Order dated 26.3.2020 i.e. before finalization of Accounts for FY 2019-20. Accordingly, as per the prudent accounting practice, such surplus amount was accounted for and necessary credit adjustment was given in FY 2019-20 i.e. immediately upon determination of the same before finalization of accounts. To reiterate, price adjustment i.e. revenue surplus was determined as of the year end, only the timing of recovery of such surplus is effective from 1st April 2020.

Since, as per MYT Regulations, the recovery of the determined revenue surplus of FY 2018-19 is to be given in FY 2020-21, GUVNL has, in order to meet with regulatory requirements, has 63 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

already reversed the concerned Debit Note in the current FY 2020-21 for the equivalent amount. This is akin to the regular accounting practice for accrual of liability or unbilled revenue where they are recognised based on accrual concept and reversed in the subsequent period when actually invoiced/billed and accounted, so as to ensure no duplication.

2. The vendor-wise details of liabilities for the supply The account code no. 42100 – Liability for Supply of Capital Materials reflected in the Account Code of Capital Materials is maintained since GEB era 42100 amounting to 16,631.33 Lakhs as on and in unbundling of GEB’s regime also.

Hence, we are unable to verification of Invoices, payment vouchers etc. comment on the correctness of the vendor-wise Auditors’ point that account is manually outstanding balance as on March 31st, 2020. maintained, is not true as GETCO is maintaining the same in Excel since we are not keeping Subsidiary / Control ledger. However, GETCO may initiate to explore the possibility of maintaining vendor-wise ledgers within the system framework and apprise the auditor in next audit of FY 2020-21.

3. The Other Financial Liabilities which are not GETCO carries out the activity of construction bifurcated into Current and Non-Current Liability of Transmission Lines and Substations through as required by IND-AS 1 (Presentation of Labour Contracts, Civil Contracts as well as Financial Statements) are as follows:- through engineering, procurement and commissioning contracts (EPC Contracts).

GETCO has classified the same as Current Liability.

4. The Company has not capitalised Borrowing It is to mention that during the last 3 years, Costs to the projects grouped under Capital Work GETCO has been consistently striving to reduce in Progress in the financial year 2019-2020 its borrowings and interest cost. The same can (except Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs be visible from the Borrowings of GETCO (except pertaining to KFW projects). Due to the non- CC balance) as on 31.3.2017 was 8969.02 capitalisation of Borrowing Costs to the Capital crores which has now reduced to 5080.52 Work in Progress (except Capitalisation of crores as on 31.3.2020. Further the interest cost Borrowing Costs pertaining to KFW projects) in on borrowings has also reduced from 742.53 the financial year 2019-2020 as per IND-AS 23 crores as on 31.3.2017 to 453.04 crores as on (Borrowing Costs), the impact on profitability of 31.3.2020.

Further we would also like to draw to kind attention to the Cash Flow Statement wherein it can be referred, on an overall basis, that the company had generated sufficient Cash Flow from Operations to fund the Investing activities as well as pay down the loans on net basis.

Further we would also like to mention the fact the substantially all of the projects for which term loans were taken from banks have been commissioned and hence there is no interest capitalization on such commissioned projects in FY 2019-20. 65 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Management Reply to the Comments of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India received from AG Office, Ahmedabad under Section 143(6)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 on the Standalone Financial Statements of Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited, Vadodara for the year ended 31st March, 2020.

C&AG’s Comments Board’s Explanation

A. Comment on Financial Position The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has treated IL&FS & its 348 Group Companies as a 1. Other Financial Liabilities (Note 23) composite entity for the purpose of Resolution Plan Deposits and retentions from Suppliers/ to be drawn by the newly constituted Board of Contractors 1,21,145.52 lakh. IL&FS at the behest of Govt. of India. Therefore, GUVNL has withheld the dues of 6 Wind Generating The above does not include 182.57 crore withheld Companies of the same IL&FS Group. IL&FS by GUVNL from monthly power purchase bills of six started defaulting on the interest payments to the separate IL&FS Group wind power Companies from PF Trust and was referred to NCLT. Logically, November 2018 to 14th October 2019 with whom GUVNL being the parent Company did not release the Company is having Power Purchase the dues to the Wind Generating Companies (who Agreements (PPA). The Company has been belongs to the same group) because its own CPF transferred to its CPF Trust to set-off losses to its Trust’s investments are at stake and 100% recovery CPF Trust due to non-receipt of interest and principal is doubtful at this point of time. amount against investment made in three IL&FS group companies that defaulted on interest GUVNL firmly believes that IL&FS Group is required payments due on 30th September 2018 and to “equitably set-off” the money due to GUVNL’s onwards. CPF Trust from its 3 Group Companies (viz. IL&FS As the matter is sub-judice in NCLT, the set off of Transportation Network Limited, Infrastructure receivable and payable is not admissible. This Leasing & Financial Services Limited and IL&FS resulted in understatement of Deposits & Retentions Financial Services Limited) from any money due from suppliers (other Financial Liability) by 182.57 to any of the Companies of IL&FS Group from crore and consequent Understatement of GUVNL. Recoverable from CPF Trust (Other Financial Therefore, GUVNL is legally entitled to withhold any Assets). 68 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

payment from the payment of electricity generated and supplied by IL&FS Wind Generating Companies, pending final Resolution at NCLT. It would be unfair, unjust, un-equitable and illegal if GUVNL is required to pay the claims of the Wind Generating Companies, while IL&FS Group Companies are not discharging their obligations to pay to GUVNL’s PF Trust - the amount due towards investment made as financial creditors.

IL&FS Wind Generating Companies approached Hon’ble GERC, but without any success. At the same time, they also approached National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), New Delhi. During hearing of this matter, Hon’ble NCLAT has rejected / dismissed their claims on the withheld dues and allowed them to withdraw their applications vide its Order dt. 23.10.2019.

GUVNL withheld the principal and its interest dues totaling to 18256.66 lakhs from IL&FS Wind Generating Companies and thereafter subsequently had transferred the same to CPF Trust. The Resolution proceedings are presently going on in NCLT. After all, GUVNL had retained this amount on behalf of the CPF Trust towards recovery of the investments. Therefore, it was a logical decision and conclusion to transfer the same to the Trust, pending final Resolution plan of NCLT.

Therefore, there is no understatement of Deposits& Retentions from suppliers (other Financial Liability) by 182.57 crore and consequent Understatement of Recoverable from CPF Trust (Other Financial Assets).

The Guidance Note on Division-II IndAS Schedule- III to the Companies Act, 2013 states that the application money paid towards securities which have not been allotted on the date of the Balance Sheet is to be shown separately. However, this Guidance Note is recommendatory in nature and not mandatory. Division-II of IndAS Schedule-III is mandatory which does not have such a requirement.

The independent opinion obtained buttresses the Company’s (and the Group’s) Despite being pointed out in previous years position that the change in the method is not a (2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19), no corrective correction of error and hence the Company’s action has been taken by the Company during accounting treatment is correct. The Company 2018-19. has also given adequate disclosure in this regard under Note No.64 of the Audited Annual Accounts of FY 2019-20.

Thus, given the Company’s position, that the accounting and treatment is found to be correct backed by sufficient disclosures hence no further corrective action is required to be taken.

74 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

land, GETCO starts the work for building of the substations. Generally, it takes 2-3 years for finalizing the allotted land value by District/State land valuation committee and till such time substations in normal course are completed. Further there are cases where the valuation of the land as determined by District/State land valuation committee is not in line with the budget/ expectation of GETCO. In such cases, the company has to represent to Higher Offices including Government of Gujarat (GoG) for reconsidering the value of the allotted land. Due to this uncertainty in the land valuation and considerable time involved in the process including GETCOs representation to GoG for reconsidering the land valuation, GETCO has to account for land as and when the payment is made to the beneficiary or approval by the Board of Directors to pay the differential amount (Value determined by Land Valuation Committee less Jantri Value paid), whichever is earlier.

Accordingly, in the present case, as the management has not approved land cost and asked GETCO to take this at Govt. level for consideration, GETCO has not made any provision of liability.

Further, Hon’ble GERC while approving the Tariff considers expenditure of GETCO on payment basis, any notional or provisional entry may not be considered by GERC in approving the tariff and will lead to a mismatch between the Land cost shown in the books of accounts and Land cost approved by GERC. And in case, where

75 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Land cost is approved by GERC on Provisional basis, there will be increase in transmission tariff without actual expenditure incurred by GETCO in that respective financial year.

We take into cognizance the auditors observation and from FY 2020-21 and onwards, GETCO will appropriately disclose its accounting policy for booking/accounting differential cost of land (Value Determined by Valuation Committee less Value paid by GETCO) as and when GETCO Management finally accept and approves the same for the differential payment sought by the Government authorities for the land provided to GETCO, which is after making all out efforts and representations upto the Highest Government level for bringing the reduction in the land value as it will attain finality thereafter.

However, for such pending representations/ attempts of GETCO on acceptance and approval of differential land value so demanded, GETCO will disclose all such pending demands of Government Authorities as Contingent Liability from FY 2020-21 and onwards.

Thus, given the Group’s position, that the accounting treatment is found to be correct as per the opinion of the independent Chartered Accountant Firm, backed by sufficient disclosures, no further corrective action is required to be taken.

2. Balance Sheet The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has Equity and Liabilities treated IL&FS & its 348 Group Companies as a Liabilities composite entity for the purpose of Resolution Plan Current Liabilities to be drawn by the newly constituted Board of IL&FS Other Current at the behest of Govt. of India. Therefore, GUVNL Financial Liabilities (Note No. 29) has withheld the dues of 6 Wind Generating Deposits and retentions from Suppliers/ Companies of the same IL&FS Group. IL&FS Contractors - 3389.28 crore started defaulting on the interest payments to the PF Trust and was referred to NCLT. Logically, The above does not include 182.57 crore withheld GUVNL being the parent Company did not release by GUVNL from monthly power purchase bills of six the dues to the Wind Generating Companies (who separate IL&FS Group wind power Companies from belongs to the same group) because its own CPF November 2018 to 14 October 2019 with whom the Trust’s investments are at stake and 100% recovery Company is having Power Purchase Agreements is doubtful at this point of time.

The amount has been transferred to its CPF Trust to set-off loss to its CPF Trust due to non- GUVNL firmly believes that IL&FS Group is required receipt of interest and principal amount against to “equitably set-off” the money due to GUVNL’s investment made in three IL&FS group companies CPF Trust from its 3 Group Companies (viz.

This resulted in understatement of Deposits & Retentions Therefore, GUVNL is legally entitled to withhold any from suppliers (Other Financial Liability) by 182.57 payment from the payment of electricity generated crore and consequent understatement of and supplied by IL&FS Wind Generating Recoverable from CPF Trust (Other Financial Companies, pending final Resolution at NCLT. It Assets). would be unfair, unjust, un-equitable and illegal if

94 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

GUVNL is required to pay the claims of the Wind Generating Companies, while IL&FS Group Companies are not discharging their obligations to pay to GUVNL’s PF Trust - the amount due towards investment made as financial creditors.

IL&FS Wind Generating Companies approached Hon’ble GERC, but without any success. At the same time, they also approached National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), New Delhi. During hearing of this matter, Hon’ble NCLAT has rejected / dismissed their claims on the withheld dues and allowed them to withdraw their applications vide its Order dt. 23.10.2019.

GUVNL withheld the principal and its interest dues totaling to 18256.66 lakhs from IL&FS Wind Generating Companies and thereafter subsequently had transferred the same to CPF Trust. The Resolution proceedings are presently going on in NCLT. After all, GUVNL had retained this amount on behalf of the CPF Trust towards recovery of the investments. Hence, it was a logical decision and conclusion to transfer the same to the Trust, pending final Resolution plan of NCLT.

Therefore, there is no understatement of Deposits & Retentions from suppliers (other Financial Liability) by 182.57 crores and consequently no understatement of recoverables from CPF Trust (Other Financial Assets).

B. Comment on Disclosure This comment is on non-disclosure of claim raised 3. Notes to the Financial Statements by Surat Municipal Commissioner on GETCO towards differential cost of land. The above does not disclosed the claim of 111.68

6.Possession of land by GETCO for building Substations.

After possession of land, GETCO starts the work for building the substations. Generally, it takes 2-3 years for finalizing the allotted land value by District/ State Land Valuation Committee. Till such time, the substations in normal course are completed. There are cases where the valuation of the land as determined by District/State Land Valuation Committee are not in line with the budget/ expectation of GETCO. In such cases, GETCO represents to higher Offices including Government of Gujarat (GoG) for reconsidering the value of allotted land. Due to this uncertainty in land valuation and considerable time involved in the process, GETCO accounts for land as and when the payment is made to the beneficiary or as per approval by its Board to pay the differential amount (value determined by Land Valuation Committee less Jantri Value paid), whichever is earlier.

96 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Accordingly, in the present case, the management has not approved the land cost and has asked GETCO to take up this at Govt. level for consideration. However, no directives have been received by GETCO till date from Govt. of Gujarat. The accounting treatment is also in accordance with the prevailing policies and accepted accounting policies. Therefore, no disclosures were made by GETCO.

The audit observations have been noted and suitable disclosures would be made from the next Financial Year onwards.

This has resulted in understatement of Contingent Hence these financial statements are standalone Liabilities by 62.37crore. financial statements and do not require any consolidated financial statements.”

Therefore, instead of GSECL consolidating their JV in their Accounts, GUVNL has done the same in accordance with the aforestated provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules there under. At the time of consolidation, GUVNL has complied with Para 4.1 and Para 4.5 of Significant Accounting Policies of CFS. Accordingly,GUVNL in the CFS has considered the share of Contingent Liability as reflected in the audited Standalone Financial Statements of MGCL. Further, the matter relating to Contingent Liability has also been appropriately disclosed in Note 49 of CFS based on the disclosure made by MGCL in its audited Standalone Financial Statements.

MGCL has disclosed 399.79 crores as Contingent Liability in its Accounts. Therefore, GUVNL has taken 40% of 399.79 crores i.e. 159.92 crores. Because GUVNL has consolidated GSECL’s Joint Venture with its own Standalone Accounts, Contingent Liability has been shown as per the Accounts of MGCL.

On the other hand, according to GSECL, the Contingent Liability on this account is 222.28 crores which includes interest liability of 62.37 crores. But, the same is not recognised by MGCL

98 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

as the Joint Venture’s interest liability. Therefore, when the Joint Venture’s Audited Accounts does not include interest element, the same has been excluded at the time of stating Contingent Liabilities in CFS. Further, all facts of this case have been disclosed in detail in CFS in Note No. 53.

This liability stated in the Notes is of Contingent nature and does not have any impact on the profitability or True & Fair view of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

COMMENTS OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL OF INDIA UNDER SECTION 143(6) (b) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED, VADODARA FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2020.

The preparation of financial statements of the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited, Vadodara for the year ended 31st March 2020 in accordance with the financial reporting framework prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 is the responsibility of the Management of the Company. The Statutory Auditors appointed by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India under Section 139(5) of the Act are responsible for expressing opinion on the financial statements under Section 143 of the Act based on independent audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act. This is stated to have been done by them vide their Audit Report dated 29th September 2020.

I, on the behalf of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, have conducted a Supplementary audit of the financial statements of Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited, Vadodara for the year ended 31st March 2020 under Section 143 (6) (a) of the Companies Act, 2013. This supplementary audit has been carried out independently without access to the working papers of the Statutory Auditors and is limited primarily to inquiries of the Statutory Auditors and Company personnel and a selective examination of some of the accounting records.

Based on my supplementary audit, I would like to highlight the following significant matters under Section 143 (6) (b) of the Act which have come to my attention and which in my view are necessary for enabling a better understanding of the financial statements and the related audit report:

A. Comments on Financial Position

1. Other Financial Liabilities (Note 23) Deposits and retentions from Suppliers / Contractors 1,21,145.52 lakh

The above does not include 182.57 core withheld by GUVNL from monthly power purchase bills of six separate IL&FS Group wind power Companies from November 2018 to 14 October 2019 with whom the Company is having Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). The amount has been transferred to its CPF Trust to set-off loss to its CPF Trust due to non-receipt of interest and principal amount against investment made in three IL&FS group companies that defaulted on interest payments due on 30th September 2018 and onwards.

As the matter is sub-judice in NCLT, the set off of receivable and payable is not admissible. This resulted in understatement of Deposits & Retentions from suppliers (Other Financial Liability) by 182.57 core and consequent understatement of Recoverable from CPF Trust (Other Financial Assets)

102 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

2. Balance Sheet

Non-Current Assets Investments (Note 3) 259017.46 crore

The above includes 488.33 crore being share application money paid towards issue of equity share on tight basis to Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) as on 31st March, 2020.

As per the Guidance note on Division II Ind As Schedule III to the Companies Act 2013, any application money paid towards securities where security has not been allotted on the date of Balance Sheet shall be disclosed as a separate line item under other non-current financial assets.

As the equity shares have not been allotted on the balance sheet date, inclusion of share application money in Investments resulted in understatement of Non-current Other Financial Assets and overstatement of Investments by 488.33 crore.

B. Comment on Disclosures

3. Notes to the Financial Statements Related Party Disclosures (Note 44B) Allocation of e-Urja Expenses 2026.98 lakh

A reference is invited to the above note no. 44 B, which discloses allocation of e-Urja expenses. The Company was allocating the “E-Urja expenses” to its group Companies based on number of registered users in the respective Company until FY 2017-18. However, the Company stopped this practice from 2018-19 and stated recognizing the entire expenditure in its books of accounts. However, in FY 2019-20, the Company reverted to it’s previous policy which was followed until 2017-18.

The Company should have disclosed this change in accounting treatment in reference to previous years in its Notes to financial statements. The above notes are therefore deficient to that extent.

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended 31st March, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including changes in equity, other comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were

105 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view andare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operation, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users taken onthe basis of these standalone financial statements.

As a Part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: v Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. v Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedure that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate Internal Financial Controls System in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. v Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. v Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or

106 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainly exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. v Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit finding, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charge with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unlesslaw or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine the matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We have audited the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements of Gujarat UrjaVikas Nigam Limited (“the Company”) as of 31st March 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controlsbased on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company consideringthe essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business,including adherence to Company's policies, safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of fraudsand errors, accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and timely preparation of reliablefinancial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference tofinancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Noteon Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standardson Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act,2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit ofInternal Financial Controls and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining anunderstanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk thata material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internalcontrol based on the 112 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 assessed risk.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that

1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorizedacquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on thefinancial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

B Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On 24th July 2020, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued amendments to certain Ind AS. The amendments are effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2020. However, with respect to Ind AS 116, in case a lessee has not yet approved the financial statements for issue before the issuance of the amendments, then the same may be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2019.

Following are the Indian Accounting Standards which have been amended on various issues with effect from April 1st, 2020. The following amendments are relevant to the company:

a) Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Error: Refined definition of term 'material'

b) Ind AS 103, Business Combinations: Revised definition of a 'business' and introduction of an

124 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

optional concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business

C Significant Accounting Policies

1. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS"), under Section 133 of the Act read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended except in so far as the said provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003.

2. Basis of Measurement

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Ind ASs, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value/amortized cost/net present value at the end of each reporting period; as explained in the accounting policies below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently over all periods presented in these financials statements.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

As the operating cycle cannot be identified in normal course due to the special nature of industry, the same has been assumed to have duration of 12 months. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS-1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

125 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all values are rounded off to the nearest two decimal lacs except otherwise stated.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

3. Property, Plant & Equipment (including Capital Work in progress)

(a) Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) comprises of Tangible Assets. PPE are stated at cost after reducing accumulated depreciation. The cost of PPE comprises of its purchase price or its construction cost or any cost directly attributable to bring the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management and decommissioning costs. Directly attributable costs are capitalized until the asset is ready for use and includes borrowing cost capitalised in accordance with the Company's accounting policy.

Buildings held for use in the supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

126 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs relating to day to day servicing of the item are not recognised in the carrying amount of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment; rather these costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss as incurred.

An item of PPE is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the PPE. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the PPE and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Capital Work in progress

Capital work-in-progress includes the cost incurred on PPE that are not yet ready for the intended use and is capitalized whenever ready for use. All directly attributable expenditures are allocated to the projects on pro rata basis to the accretion made to respective projects.

4. Depreciation

Depreciation of these PPE commences when the assets are available for their intended use.

The Company, being engaged in electricity business, is covered under the Electricity Act, 2003 and provisions of the Electricity Act supersede the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Accordingly, the Company charges depreciation on straight line method at thedepreciation rates, the methodology and the residual value as prescribed in GERC (MYT) Regulations, 2016.

Therates/range of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are as follows: Asset Description Rates/Range Buildings 3.34% Plant & Machinery 5.28% to 9.50% Lines & Cable Net Work Upto 5.28% Vehicles 9.50% Furniture-Fix & Elect-Light & Fan Installations 6.33% Computers 15% Office Equipments 6.33%

127 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Depreciation on additions/deletions to PPE during the year is provided for on a pro-rata basis with reference to the date of additions/deletions, except low value items not exceeding 5,000/- which are fully depreciated at the time of addition. Depreciation on subsequent expenditure on PPE arising on account of capital improvement or other factors is provided for prospectively over the remaining useful life.

The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed on an annual basis and if necessary, changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

5. Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets with finite useful life are recognized only if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and the cost of assets can be measured reliably. The Intangible Assets are recorded at cost and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

An Intangible Asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and carrying amount of the asset are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

The Company amortizes Computer Software on straight line method as per the methodology and residual value in accordance with GERC (MYT) Regulations, 2016.

6. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews at each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If at the reporting period, there is an indication that there is a change in the previously assessed impairment loss, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.

7. Non-Current Assets held for Sale

The Company classifies Non-Current Assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use of the assets and actions required to

128 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

complete such sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified as held for sale only if the management expects to complete the sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.

8. Government Grant

Government Grants (including Subsidies) are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the Grant.

Grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are initially set up as Deferred Income and recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the period and in proportions of depreciation expense of the assets. Grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognizedin the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period in which the related costs are incurred and shown separately.

9. Investments in Subsidiary and Associate

Investments in Subsidiaries and Associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in Subsidiaries and Associate, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

10. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Revenue is measured at the transaction price of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

129 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Contract assets are recognized when there is right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that are transferred to a customer and when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) as per contractual terms.

Revenue from Sale of Power

Energy sales are accounted on the basis of billing on Bulk Supply Tariff (BST) agreements entered into with the Distribution Companies viz. Dakshin Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd., Madhya Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd., Paschim Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd. and Uttar Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd. and the contracts entered into with the Licensees viz. Kandla Port Trust and Traders.

Surplus power, if any is sold through bilateral transactions or by putting bids in Power Exchanges on day to day basis and the same is accounted on acceptance of bids.

Other Revenue from Power related Activities

Rebate (Cash Discount) for Prompt Payment towards purchase of power (net), Cash Discount and CDM Benefit from renewable energy are recognised on cash basis.

Dividend Income

Dividend Income is accounted in the year in which the right to receive the dividend is established.

Penalty and Liquidated Damages

Penalty for delay in supply of materials is recovered as per the terms of purchase order at the time of accounting the purchases whereas refund of penalty is accounted when the order is fully executed by the supplier and the refund is approved by the competent authority.

Liquidated Damages and Penalties in relation to purchase of power and completion of projects are accounted on actual recovery.

Other Income

Interest on investment is booked on a time proportion basis taking into account the amounts invested and the rate of interest.

Claims lodged with the Insurance Company in respect of risks covered are accounted for as and when the claim is received.

Other Incomes are recognized on accrual basis except when ultimate realization of such income is uncertain. 130 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

11. Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. a. Leases as Lessee (Assets taken on lease)

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i. Lease Liabilities:

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components, except for leases where the company has elected to use practical expedient not to separate non-lease payments from the calculation of the lease liability and ROU asset where the entire consideration is treated as lease component.

131 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

ii. Right-of-use Assets:

The Company recognises right-of-use (ROU) assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

Modifications to a lease agreement beyond the original terms and conditions are generally accounted for as a re-measurement of the lease liability with a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset. Any gain or loss on modification is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the modifications that increase the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets at a price commensurate with the stand-alone selling price are accounted for as a separate new lease. In case of lease modifications, discounting rates used for measurement of lease liability and ROU assets is also suitably adjusted.

iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of Property, Plant and Equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the lessee's benefit. b. Leases as Lessor (assets given on lease)

When the company acts as lessor, it determines at the commencement of the lease whether it is a finance lease or an operating lease. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight- line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit derived from the asset given on lease. 132 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

12. Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits include salaries, wages, contribution to provident fund, gratuity, leave encashment, compensated absences and retirement benefits.

Short Term Employee Benefits

Short Term Employee Benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered by the employees are recognized undiscounted during the period employee renders services. These benefits include remuneration, bonus, incentives, etc.

Long Term Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

Retirement benefit plans in the form of provident fund, pension fund and superannuation schemes are charged as an expense on an accrual basis when employees have rendered the service.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company has maintained a Group Gratuity Cum Life Assurance Policy with M/s. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) managed by a separate Trust, towards which it annually contributes a sum based on the actuarial valuation made by M/s. LIC. The liability or asset recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The year's liability is estimated on the basis of actuarial valuation made by LIC using the Projected Unit Credit Method and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in Other Comprehensive Income and in the Balance Sheet.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of reductions in future contributions to the plans.

Other Long Term Employee Benefits

Other Long Term Employee Benefitscomprise of leave encashment. The leave benefits are recognized based on the present value of defined obligation and the year's liability is estimated on the basis of

133 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

actuarial valuations made by LIC using the Projected Unit Credit Method and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

13. Taxes on Income

Income Tax Expense represents the sum of Current Tax and Deferred Tax.

Current Tax

Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'Profit Before Tax' as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax

Deferred Tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTL) are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred Tax Liabilities and Deferred Tax Assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. 134 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Current and deferred tax for the year

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments which are readily convertible into known 136 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

22. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under Note 1 above, the management of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.

139 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Critical Judgments in applying Accounting Policies

Following are the critical judgements andestimations that the Management have made in the process of applying the Company's Accounting Policies and that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements.

(a) Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment1

Estimated useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of industry and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.

(b) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment2

The evaluation of applicability of indicators for impairment of assets require assessment of external factors (significant decline in asset's value, economic or legal environment, market interest rates, etc.) and internal factors (obsolescence or physical damage of an asset, poor economic performance of the asset, etc.) which could result in significant change in recoverable amount of the Property, Plant and Equipment.

(c) Regulatory Deferral Accounts1

Ind AS - 114 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” permits the Company to apply the requirements of this standard in its first Ind AS Financial Statements if and only if it conducts rate-regulated activities and recognised amounts that qualify as Regulatory Deferral Account Balances in its financial statements in accordance with its previous GAAP. As the Company had consistently elected not to recognize the Regulatory Deferral Balances in its previous GAAP, the requirement of IndAS 114 does not apply to the Company.

(d) Impairment of Trade receivables2

The Company estimates the credit allowance as per practical expedient based on historical credit loss experience as enumerated in Note-6.

(e) Impairment of Investments2

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, impairment loss is accounted for.

140 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

(f) Deferred Tax Assets2

Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) are recognised for unused tax losses / credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

(g) Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) 2

Management's estimate of Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the Defined Benefit Obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

(h) Contingent Liabilities2

In the normal course of business, Contingent Liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallizing or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the Notes but are not recognised. Potential liabilities that are remote are neither recognized nor disclosed as contingent liability. The management decides whether the matters needs to be classified as 'remote', 'possible' or 'probable' based on expert advice, past judgments, experiences etc.

a As an annual closing procedure, Inter - Subsidiary Company balances' duly reconciled have been transferred by all Subsidiary Companies to the debit / credit of the Company’s account (GUVNL) and are reflected in the above balances as appearing in Other Current Financial Assets (Note No.10) / Other Current Financial Liabilities (Note No.23).

b The Company has not paid any remuneration to Chairman, Shri Pankaj Joshi, IAS and Chairperson Smt. Sunaina Tomar, IAS as they occupied the position of Addl. Chief Secretary, Energy & Petrochemicals Dept., Govt. of Gujarat and were therefore drawing salary from Govt. of Gujarat.

180 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

45 The Company did not have any long term contracts including derivative contracts for which there were any material foreseeable losses. Further, some balances of Trade and Other Receivables, Trade and Other Payables and Loans are subject to confirmation/reconciliation. Adjustments, if any, will be accounted for on confirmation/reconciliation of the same, which will not have a material impact.

46 “Loan to Others” reflected in Note No.10: Other Financial Assets is the amount recoverable from M/s. Federation of Gujarat Industries (FGI), Baroda, for conducting Switch Global Expo-2016 event, for which the Company has initiated legal recovery process. The Company assesses full recovery of this amount and hence has considered this amount to be good and recoverable.

47 Govt. of Gujarat implemented the “UJALA GUJARAT” Scheme which entailed promotion of replacement of conventional bulbs with energy efficient bulbs in order to save energy. This scheme was implemented jointly by GUVNL and its Distribution subsidiaries (DISCOMs) along with the executing agency M/s. Energy Efficient Services Limited (EESL). EESL has made claims under the scheme, which have been only partially paid and an amount of 1771.11 Lakhs (previous year 1771.11 Lakhs) has been retained from the total claims, which would be released after complete reconciliation and submission of all related information by EESL. The amount retained is reflected in Note No.23: Other Financial Liability as “Deposits and Retention from Suppliers/Contractors”.

48 GEB’s Contributory Provident Fund Trust (GEB’s CPF Trust) is an exempted PF Trust (U/s 17 of the Employees Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952) which is responsible for all Provident Fund compliances and also manages the Provident Fund accumulations of all employees of GUVNL & its six Subsidiary Companies. The Trust which is a separate entity had invested a portion of its corpus amounting to 16510.00 Lakhs in 3 IL&FS Group Companies (viz. M/s. IL&FS Transport Network Ltd., M/s. Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Ltd. and M/s. IL&FS Financial Services Ltd.) in accordance with the investment pattern / guidelines issued by Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi. Due to sudden financial crisis, the IL&FS Group Companies stopped payment of interest to the Trust in 2018. Thereafter, the entire IL&FS Group was referred to National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016.

As a result, full recovery of principal and interest from IL&FS became doubtful for GEB’s CPF Trust. Therefore, GUVNL being the parent establishment of the Trust has withheld a total amount of 18256.66 Lakhs (towards principal and interest) from monthly power purchase bills of 7 IL&FS Group Companies (from November, 2018 onwards) with whom the Company is having Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). Subsequently, GUVNL has transferred this entire retained amount of 18256.66 Lakhs to GEB’s CPF Trust in March, 2020. As on date, NCLT resolution proceedings are in progress and its ultimate result is awaited.

Similarly, the Trust had also invested a portion (total 17397.60 Lakhs) of its corpus in M/s. Punjab

181 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd., M/s. Punjab Finance Corporation Ltd., M/s. Reliance Capital Ltd., M/s. Reliance Home Finance Ltd., and M/s. Dewan Housing Finance Ltd. in accordance with the investment pattern / guidelines issued by Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi. But, due to financial crisis in these organisations, they have stopped payment of interest / repayment of principal to the Trust. Therefore, GUVNL has provided 10946.00 Lakhs towards dues on account of interest and principal considering the future uncertainty regarding full recovery of the same from these Companies. As on date, the resolution proceedings for these Companies are in progress before different Forums, as reflected in Note No.30 : Employee Benefit Expenses.

49 The Company enters into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with various power generators to procure power as per agreed contractual terms. Contractual issues arising between the Company and the power generators are addressed on an ongoing basis including if the matters have to be enforced through Regulatory forums and Courts. Certain contractual issues had arisen between the power generators and the Company in the earlier years which have progressed through various stages of grievance redressal. and contract enforcement through our justice system and is still under dispute. The Company has reviewed the progress of all such disputed / contested matters and has assessed the provision as of the year end based on best judgement basis as reflected in Note No.22.

50 COVID-19 virus, a global pandemic has affected the world economy including India leading to significant decline and volatility in the financial markets and decline in economic activities.

On 24th March 2020, Government of India ordered a complete nationwide lockdown of 21 days as a precautionary measure against the COVID-19 pandemic, which was extended twice till 30th May, 2020.

The Company is engaged in the business of bulk purchase and sale of electricity. Since electricity has been categorised as an “Essential Service”, the Company was in position to supply its services throughout the lockdown period to all its consumers.

Estimation of Uncertainties:

The Company believes that it has taken into account all the known impacts arising from COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these financial statements has used internal and external sources of information. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The Company will continue to monitor any material changes in the future economic conditions and the impact thereof on the Company, if any. The eventual outcome of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business may be different from that estimated as on the date of approval of these Standalone Financial Statements. 182 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Property, Plant and Equipment:

The Company has estimated recoverable amount of the cash generating units and has determined it to be greater than the carrying amount. Reasonable sensitivities in key assumptions consequent to the change in estimated future economic conditions on account of possible effects relating to COVID19 is unlikely to cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit.

Investments, Loans and Advances & Other Assets:

In assessing the recoverability of Company’s assets such as investments, loans, advances and other financial and non-financial assets, the Company has considered internal and external information upto the date of approval of these Standalone Financial Statements. The Company has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used basis the internal and external information / indicators of future economic conditions and expects to recover the carrying amount of the assets.

Trade Receivables:

The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. In assessing the recoverability of trade receivables, the Company has considered subsequent recoveries, past trends, and internal and external information available upto the date of issuance of these financials. Based on assessment done by the Company, there is no allowance for credit losses required based on the subsequent recovery of these receivables.

Revenue:

The Company’s revenue from sale of electricity to its consumers has downward impact due to lockdown. Since this situation is likely to prevail in Financial Year 2020-21, the Company is in process of identification of loss in revenue due to disruption of supply of electricity to these consumers.

Employee and Other Costs:

The Company is making payments of salaries and wages to all employees on its payrolls as also the contract workers during the time of lockdown. Further, the Company is also incurring various other costs, including fixed costs during the period of full/partial lockdown. This may impact the profitability levels of the Company.

Going Concern:

The management has evaluated the various financial ratios, expected ageing and maturities of assets and liabilities and the various internal and external information available. The management does not

183 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

see any risks to Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and expects that Company will be able to meet its liabilities in the foreseeable future, as and when the same fall due.

51 Previous year figures have been reclassified and regrouped wherever necessary to confirm to current year’s classification.

52 Approval of Financial Statements

The Standalone Financial Statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on September 29, 2020.

COMMENTS OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL OF INDIA UNDER SECTION 143(6) (b) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED, VADODARA FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2020.

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited for the year ended 31st March 2020 in accordance with the financial reporting framework prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 (Act) is the responsibility of the Management of the Company. The Statutory Auditors appointed by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India under Section 139(5) read with Section 129(4) of the Act are responsible for expressing opinion on the financial statements under Section 143 read with Section 129(4) of the Act based on independent audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143 (10) of the Act. This is stated to have been done by them vide their Audit Report dated 10 November 2020.

I, on the behalf of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, have conducted a supplementary audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited for the year ended 31st March 2020 under Section 143(6)(a) read with Section 129(4) of the Act. We conducted a supplementary audit of the financial statements of Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited, Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited, Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited, Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited, Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited and Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited but did not conduct supplementary audit of the financial statements of associate company Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited for the year ended on that date. This supplementary audit has been carried out independently without access to the working papers of the Statutory Auditors and is limited primarily to inquiries of the Statutory Auditors and Company personnel and a selective examination of some of the accounting records.

Based on my supplementary audit, I would like to highlight the following significant matters under Section 143(6)(b) read with Section 129(4) of the Act which have come to my attention and which in my view are necessary for enabling a better understanding of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Audit Report.

A. Comment on Financial Position 1. Balance Sheet Equity and Liabilities Deferred Government Grants, Subsidies & Contributions (Note No. 20) - 9051.02 crore

A reference is invited to Note no. 64 of the Financial Statements, which stated that with effect from 01st April 2016, the Group Companies have changed the method of computing the grants/consumer contribution

187 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 received against depreciable assets to be recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss from reducing balance method to the straight line method and consequently the rates at which grant is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company has determined that the change to recognize grants in proportion of the depreciation expenses is a change in accounting estimates and is to be applied prospectively.

As per Accounting Standard-12, Grants related to depreciable assets are treated as deferred income which is recognised in the Profit and Loss Statement on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Indian Accounting Standard-20 also state that, grants related to depreciable assets are usually recognised in Profit or Loss over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognised.

The above change in method was made by the Group Companies as there was a mismatch of the grants recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss versus the related depreciation expense. Thus, the Company has changed the method of recognition of deferred income in order to align the recognition of deferred income with the related depreciation expense. As the provision for treatment of deferred income to be recognised in the Profit and Loss Statement on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset are same in AS-12 and Ind AS 20, the change was not mandated by Ind AS 20. Hence, the Company changed the method in order to correct an error.

Since the depreciable assets related to which grants/consumer contribution received have been capitalized in the books of accounts, the effect of such change should have been worked our retrospectively and accounted for in the opening balance of Deferred Government Grants, Subsidies and Consumer contribution.

This has resulted in overstatement of retained earnings and understatement of balances of Deferred Government Grants, Subsidies and Consumer Contribution towards Capital Assets by 1450.15 crore as at 31st March 2017.

Disclosure of the above facts in Note no. 64 instead of giving accounting effect does not suffice the purpose.

Despite being pointed out in the year 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19, no corrective action has been taken by the Company during 2019-20.

2. Balance Sheet Equity and Liabilities Liabilities Current Liabilities 188 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Other Current Financial Liabilities (Note No. 29) Deposits and retentions from Suppliers / Contractors - 3389.28 crore

The above does not include 182.57 crore withheld by GUVNL from monthly power purchase bills of six separate IL&FS Group wind power Companies from November 2018 to 14th October 2019 with whom the Company is having Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). The amount has been transferred to its CPF Trust to set-off loss to its CPF Trust due to non-receipt of interest and principal amounts against investment made in three IL&FS group companies that defaulted on interest payments due on 30th September 2018 and onwards.

As the matter is sub-judice in NCLT, the set off of receivable and payable is not admissible. This resulted in understatement of Deposits & Retentions from suppliers (Other Financial Liability) by 182.57 core and consequent understatements of Recoverable from CPF Trust (Other Financial Assets).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED, which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2020, the Statement of Profit and Loss including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of their consolidated state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2020, and its consolidated profit including other comprehensive income, its consolidated cash flows & consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We have conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the Ethical requirements

191 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provision of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Codes of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Qualified Opinion

1. In case of Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

a. The company recognises replaced items of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) as addition of PPE. However, carrying amount of old parts, which are replaced, not derecognised from PPE. This is not in accordance with Ind AS - 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The effect of non- compliance of Ind AS - 16 is not ascertainable.

b. The company recognizes capital spares as PPE and other spares as inventory based on predefined code system and not in accordance with requirement of Ind AS - 2 'Inventories' and Ind AS - 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment'. The effect of such non-compliance of Ind AS - 2 and Ind AS - 16 is not ascertainable.

c. Balances under the group of other financial assets, other current financial liabilities and trade payables are subject to confirmation and adjustment, if any, required upon such Confirmation is not determinable.

2. In case of Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

We draw attention to note No.40 to the financial statements wherein the Company has changed the method of accounting regarding writing back balances from grants/ consumer contribution related to certain depreciable assets from hitherto 10% on reducing balance basis to 5.28% on straight line basis prospectively commencing from the financial year 2016/17. However, in our opinion the effect of such change has to be worked out retrospectively commencing from the date on which the depreciable assets related to which the grants/consumer contribution has been received have been capitalized in the books of account and effect of such change be accounted for in the opening balance of grants/ consumer contribution.

Non accounting of the above effect has resulted into understatement of balance of grants/ consumercontribution as on 31st March, 2020 by 18,934.82 lakhs and overstatement of balance of 'Retained Earnings' by like amount. Had the above been accounted for, the balance of grants/ consumercontribution would have been 1,66,292.7 lakhs and balance of 'Retained Earnings' would have been 15,353.51 lakhs as on 31st March, 2020 as against the reported figures of 1,47,357.84 and 34,288.33 lakhs respectively.

192 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

3. In case of Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

i) The vendor-wise details of liabilities for the supply of Capital Materials reflected in the Account Code 42100 amounting to 16,631.33 Lakhs as on March 31st, 2020 are maintained in an MS Excel Sheet and the vendor-wise Ledger Accounts are not maintained by the Company which are also not reconciled with the subsequent payments made to the vendor/s. Hence, we are unable to comment on the correctness of the vendor-wise outstanding balance as on March 31st, 2020.

ii) The Other Financial Liabilities which are not bifurcated into Current and Non-Current Liability as required by IND-AS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements) are as follows: -

a) Deposits received from Suppliers/Contractors amounting to 20,884.90 Lakhs;

b) Retention Money received from Suppliers/Contractors amounting to 58,739.47 Lakhs.

Hence, the impact, if any, for not arriving at the fair value measurement of the Non-Current portion of such deposits/Retention Money as per IND-AS 109 (Financial Instruments) on the financialsas of March 31st, 2020, could not be ascertained.

iii) The Company has not capitalised Borrowing Costs to the projects grouped under Capital Work in Progress in the financial year 2019-2020 (except Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs pertaining to KFW projects). Due to the non-capitalisation of Borrowing Costs to the Capital Work in Progress (except Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs pertaining to KFW projects) in the financial year 2019-2020 as per IND-AS 23 (Borrowing Costs), the impact on profitability of the Company and the Capital Work in Progress on the financials as of March 31st, 2020 could not be ascertained.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following matters in the notes to Ind AS financial statements -

1. In case of Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

We draw attention to note no. 23 to the financial statements in respect of recognition of deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation, unused tax losses and unused tax credit for the reason stated in the said note.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

2. In case of Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

i) Attention is invited to Note No. 63 forming part of Notes to Financial Statements, with respect to

193 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

the reconciliation to be done between the Government grants/Consumer contribution received towards the Capital Assets and the individual Capital Assets created from such Government grants/Consumer contribution which has not been done by the Company in the financials as of March 31st, 2020.

Further, the Customer-wise details of the Consumer contribution towards Capital Assets amounting to 1,60,943.36 Lakhs as on March 31st, 2020 is not maintained by the Company.

As the Company is not able to individually identify the assets created, the impact of systematic allocation of grants against the depreciation of such assets as per IND-AS 20 (Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance) cannot be ascertained in the financialsas on March 31st, 2020. ii) As required by the Principal Accountant General (E&RSA), Gujarat, the Company has not obtained an opinion from the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) with respect to the effect of the prospective/retrospective accounting treatment for change in recognition of grants in proportion to the depreciation expense which was effective from April 1st, 2016. In the absence of such EAC opinion, the impact, if any, on the financials of the Company as on March 31st, 2020 could not be ascertained. iii) The Depreciation and Amortization Expenses of the current financial year 2019-2020 includes depreciation of previous years amounting to 1,716.52 Lakhs, charged in the current year, having an impact on financials of 2019-2020 to that extent. Also, the negative Net Block of Fixed Assets amounting to 157.91 Lakhs appearing in the Fixed Assets Register has been accounted for in the books of accounts as on March 31st, 2020. However, the same has not been updated in the Fixed Assets Register maintained by the Company as on March 31st, 2020. Hence, the amount of Property, Plant and Equipment as per the books of accounts as on March 31st, 2020 and as per the Fixed Assets Register maintained by the Company as on March 31st, 2020, is unreconciled to that extent. iv) Attention is invited to Point (iv) of Note No. 49 forming part of Notes to Financial Statements, relating to Impairment Analysis done by the Managementof under constructed projects in Capital Work in Progress and reasons for not impairing under construction projects which have beenheld up due to various issues like land acquisition problems, Right of Way problems, Permission/ Approvals from Forest Authorities, Court cases, Land & Crop compensation, Farmers/Villagers protest, Police Protection etc. The said analysis reveals that there is an impairment of 382.03 Lakhs only and the recoverable value of all other assets in CWIP are more than the carrying value as on March 31st, 2020. 194 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Further, the Company doesnot have a system to conduct the physical verification of the CWIP to determine the actual stage of completion of the project/s as on March 31st, 2020.

Thus, the impact of the same, if any, on the financial statements as on March 31st, 2020 could not be ascertained.

v) It is highlighted that due to the COVID-19 Pandemic induced restrictions on physical movement and strict timelines, our entire Audit team could only visit the Corporate Office and the State Load Despatch Centre (SLDC) Unit of the Company in Vadodara and could not visit all the other Circles/Divisions and Other Units of the Company, toundertakee the required audit procedures as prescribed under the ICAI issued Sstandards on Auditing, including but not limited to :

l Inspection, observation, Examination and Verification of the original documents of invoices at Circle/Division/Unit level, legal title deeds of immovable properties and other files;

l Physical verification of Cash, including adequate internal controlsthereof;

l Physical Verification of Inventories, PPE (Property, Plant and Equipment) and the status of Capital Work in Progress as on March 31st, 2020;

l Any other processes which required the physical presence of the Audit team.

However, we modified our audit procedures and obtained all information, supporting documents and other inputs pertaining to all Circles/Divisions/Units of the Company at the Corporate Office at Vadodara,by verifying the hard copies of the proforma files provided to us by each Circles/ Divisions/Units and also verified the scanned copies of the sample invoices, agreements, etc. provided to us by all Circles/Divisions/Units of the Company.

Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.

3. In case of Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

(i) Note 32(a) of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements, in relation to security deposits obtained from Consumers other than HT Consumers are subject to reconciliation with subsidiary records and consequent adjustments, if any, that may be required;

195 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

(iii) Note 47 of the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements, in relation to the management evaluation of COVID-19 impact on the operations and assets of the Company.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

4. In case of Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

We draw your attention to Note 48 to the financial statements which explain the managements’ assessment that the extent, to which COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s operations and financial results, is dependent on future developments, which are highly uncertain.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

5. In case of Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited (“the subsidiary company”)

We draw attention to the following matters in the notes to Ind AS financial statements

1. Refer Note – 19.1 of Ind AS financial statements, the Company has adopted Ind AS for the first time in the Financial Year 2016-17. Ind AS 20 and AS 12 on Government grants in Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and Previous GAAP at hindsight are in-principle the same in relation to initial recognition of grants as well as recognition of grants in Profit& Loss statement. Both Ind AS 20 and AS 12 require / mandate a systematic basis of recognizing grants. Grants related to depreciable assets are usually recognized in Profit& Loss statement over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognized. It is pertinent to note that neither Ind AS nor GAPP lay down any emphasis on what the systematic basis should be or give any indicative guide on the said criteria.

The Company has adopted a uniform policy to treat the Consumer Contribution and Capital Grant as deferred credit and to be transferred as Deferred Income on Reducing Balance Method (WDV Method) since its inception as a deliberated and uniform decision based on the facts and circumstances assessed at that time and the same has been reviewed and considered by the different Auditors of the Company since inception and have noted it to be in compliance with the erstwhile GAAP requirements.

However, the WDV Method of recognizing Grants though in compliance with AS-12 as well as Ind AS 20, results in a variation in the depreciation expense recognized and the amount of grant recognized in profit & Loss Statement every year. Further, the company recognizes the government grants through compliance with their conditions and meeting the envisaged obligations. Hence, they should therefore be recognized in Profit& Loss statement over the

196 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. The Company noted, based on its own experience and considering prudent basis of allocating depreciation on a similar levels every year, that using the same method of recognizing grants would reduce the variation of depreciation and grants recognized during any year and the SLM method fulfills the requirement of Ind AS 20 i.e. a systematic basis of recognizing grants and is also the method used to depreciate assets, and accordingly the Company, has changed the method of recognizing Grants in the Statement of Profit & Loss w.e.f. 01.04.2016 to match with the method used to depreciate the assets against which the grants were received. Also, the company considers it apt to apply straight line depreciation since it results in a constant charge over the useful life since the assets’ residual values will not undergo change.

Further, it is also to be noted that the selection of WDV method was neither error/omission nor a misstatement from a failure to use or misuse of reliable information. The para 48 and para 34 of Ind AS 8 also pointed out that corrections of errors are distinguished from changes in method of recognizing Grants into P&L Account from WDV Method to SLM. Further, the depreciation method used shall reflect the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity. Also, the depreciation method applied to an asset shall be reviewed at least at each financial year-end and, if there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset, the method shall be changed to reflect the changed pattern (Para 61 of Ind AS 16). Such a change shall be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS 8. Under Ind AS 16 it has to be considered as a change in accounting estimate to be applied prospectively and not retrospectively.

It is to further state that since capital grants are linked to the assets, it is to consider how a change in depreciation method would be regarded i.e., a change in accounting policy or a change in estimate as well as its accounting treatment. Here, the change in the method of depreciation would be considered as a change in accounting estimate under Ind – AS 8 and all changes in accounting estimates are to be applied prospectively and not retrospectively.

We would further draw the attention to para 35 of Ind AS 8, “When it is difficult to distinguish a change in an accounting policy from a change in an accounting estimate, the change is treated as a change in an accounting estimate.”

GUVNL on behalf of DISCOMs, although the cited accounting treatment given is well supported by the relevant provisions of the Accounting Standard(s), have still decided to consult and 197 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

obtain an independent opinion from an eminent professional CA Firm and the captioned firm has also opined endorsing the views of the Company in the subject matter.

In view of above, Deferred Govt. Grants, Subsidies and Consumer Contribution and retained earnings are correctly accounted in the Financial Statements in compliance with Ind AS requirements and that there is no over-statement of retained earnings and under-statement of balance of Deferred Govt. Grant & Subsidies and Consumer contribution towards Capital Assets.

If the Company had applied the above change in method retrospectively as was pointed as per the objection raised by CAG auditors, the balances of retained earnings would have been decreased and the balance of Deferred Government grants, Subsidies and Consumer contributions would have been increased by 29,344.70 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2020.

2. Refer Note 42A.I. which describe the uncertainty related to the outcome of certain disputes and law-suits filed against the Company. The impact (if any) of these disputes/law-suits on the financial statements of the Company could not be ascertained.

3. Refer Note 47 with reference to implications of Covid-19 pandemic. The outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic globally and in India is causing significant disturbance and slowdown of economic activity. The Company has evaluated the impact of this pandemic on its business operations and based on its review and current indicators of future economic conditions, there appears to be a downward impact on the business of the company going forward amidst the continuity of the Covid-19 pandemic and the industry in which the Company operates continues to see a sluggish outlook in most part of the year 2020-21.

4. The impact of coronavirus on the Company’s business will depend on future developments that cannot be reliably predicted, including actions to contain or treat the disease and mitigate its impact on the economies of the affected countries, among others. A definitive assessment of the impact is not possible in view of the high uncertain economic environment and the scenario is still evolving. The Company has evaluated its liquidity position and recoverability and carrying values of its assets and changes in financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and other price risk, and changes in objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks are expected. Evaluation of management’s assessment around going concern revolves around at a minimum involve, evaluation of reliability of cash flow forecast prepared by the management considering change in economic environment, management’s plan for future actions and assessing its feasibility in the circumstances.

5. In view of Company’s assessment check on the operations of the company, there appears to 198 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

be a loss in revenue of the company in the short term scenario say for the year 2020-21 due to disruption of supply of electricity mainly to commercial and industrial units.

6. Refer Note 49 of the Ind AS Financial Statements which states that balances in respect of Trade Receivables, Trade Payables, Loans and Advances as at 31.03.2020 are subject to reconciliation and confirmation. Also, Security Deposit from Consumers are subject to reconciliation with Subsidiary records.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended 31st March, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the other information report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance to initiate actions applicable in the applicable laws and regulations.

Responsibility of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Ind AS Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a 199 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, financial performance including consolidated changes in equity, consolidated other comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view andare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operation, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users taken onthe basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

As a Part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: l Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomission, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 200 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 l Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedure that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate Internal Financial Controls System in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. l Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainly exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. l Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit finding, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charge with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unlesslaw or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine the matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

203 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 Annexure - A to the Independent Auditors' Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements of Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (“the Company”) as of 31st March 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company's policies, safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of frauds and errors, accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. 204 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that

1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31st March 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

However, in case of Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited,(“the Subsidiary Company”), in our opinion internal control in respect of movement of inventories during maintenance and capital works, material issued/received to/from third parties and material lying with sub-divisions, needs to be reviewed and

205 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 strengthened. Further, we recommend for implementation of real time integrated ERP software.

We have considered the matter reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements of the Company and does not affect our opinion on the financial statements of the Company.

In case of Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited

Qualified Opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as at March 31st, 2020:

a. The Company does not have a system of tagging the Fixed Assets which in our opinion is major material weakness.

b. The Company does not have system to provide reconciliation between the individual capital assets created from the Grant received from Government and consumer contribution received towards capital assets as on March 31st, 2020. As a result, the impact of systematic allocation of grants against the depreciation of such assets cannot be ascertained as on March 31st, 2020.

c. The company does not have a system to conduct the physical verification of Capital Work in Progress (CWIP) to determine the actual stage of completion of the project as on March 31st, 2020. Thus, the impact of the same is not ascertainable as on March 31st, 2020.

d. The company does not have its Disaster Recovery Site set up anywhere except in case of SLDC, a unit of the Company, which has its DR Site at Gandhinagar. The Company is completely dependent on GUVNL its holding company in case of a system breakdown.

e. The Company does not have a documented “Restoration Plan” hence in case of a system crash the Company would be completely dependent on GUVNL for restoration of its operation.

f. Out of the systems existing in GETCO i.e. E-Urja & i-FAS, in case of i-FAS, the Company does not have a system wherein the User and Project Team perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in the testing environment and only upon obtaining satisfactory results for the UAT, the system is allowed to be migrated to production.

As a result any wrong codification on live date would not give the desired results and would impact the entire i-FAS system which in our opinion is a major control failure.

g. During the year the Company has not conducted any System audit by any external firm / agency which would certify that the information security management system existing in the Company is as per Information Security Management System Standards.

h. The Company does not have a formal documented Business Continuity Plan (BCP) & Disaster 206 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Recovery Plan (DRP) plan that addresses all core processes, technologies i.e. applications, Critical servers, backup sites existing within the Company.

i. The Company that does not have a Crisis Management Team (CMT) which is formed with personnel from management and each areas being part of the team. As on date the Company does not have any SOP and documented plan for declaring a disaster which can be distributed to the Crisis Management Team (CMT) and members of CMT members so that their tasks can be assigned in there is any kind of disaster.

j. Though a Fire Drill was conducted in July 2019, the Company does not have a practice of scheduling Fire Drills, which in our opinion, is an important activity and should be adhered to.

A ‘material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has maintained, in all material aspects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31st, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have considered the material weaknesses identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31st, 2020 Standalone Financial Statements of the Company (GETCO), and these material weaknesses have affected our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

2 Report on the efficacy of In case of Subsidiary Company, Dakshin Gujarat Vij the system of billing and Company Limited, During the course of Audit on collection of revenue in sample basis, we have noticed that bills were issued to the company. the consumers in time and collections have been generally received in timely manner.

In case of Subsidiary Company, Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited, The Company comprises two categories of consumers i.e. HT and LT consumers:

The HT category consumers are billed and maintained at divisional level. The meter readings are collected by the Deputy / Junior Engineers physically visiting the premises. Moreover, the high valued consumers connections are equipped with AMR based meters, which are monitored regularly from division offices by engineers and also readings are fetched from those meters for the monthly billing purpose. Meter reading activity, bill preparation and serving of bill is carried out regularly from 15th to 18th of the month for normal consumers. In case of open access consumers, billing is done on the 1st of the every month by division offices.

The billing activity of LT category consumers are mainly bifurcated in two parts, i.e. monthly billing (low tension high valued customers) and bi-monthly billing (LT residential and other low valued category consumers). The billing activity is carried out by trained meter readers. The billing activity of LT consumers are carried out between 20th and 10th of the next month. The bills are served to the consumers on the spot only, by the meter readers. Such spot billing method results into saving in time, money and energy and also entails early realization of revenue by 5-7 days. Also, the company has initiated the GPRS mobile based spot billing, in which the energy bills are calculated automatically 214 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

through computerized program and calculated bill data are transferred through GPRS based servers to mobile PDA of meter readers and a print out of calculated bill is generated and served to the consumer on the spot, which ensures the correctness of energy bill calculations. As explained by the management, the company has initiated the process of endowing the mobile PDA GPRS based devices of all the Sub- Divisions. Moreover, to ensure the correctness of meter readings, every month the meter readers are interchanged within one Sub-Division, i.e. if a meter reader has carried out the meter reading activity in a particular area this month, then in next month other meter reader will be performing the billing activity of that particular area. This ensures automatic cross verification of opening and closing meter readings.

To improve the efficacy of collection of revenue, the company has made arrangements in system so that any consumer of any sub division can pay his energy bill at any sub division / division / circle / corporate office. Moreover, company has provided collection rights to post offices, private cash collection agencies, e-gram panchayats and also has provided facility of any time payment (ATP Kiosks and various ATMs of Banks). Also company has provided online payment options on its website as well as on various banks and payment wallets websites, where consumers can pay their bills online from any place through Credit Card / Debit Card / Net banking facilities. The Company also conducts disconnection drives, arranges for the LOK-ADALATs for pending disputed arrears regularly to improve collection efficacy.

Due to huge numbers of consumers in LT category, LT Billing is bifurcated in two way i.e. monthly billing cycle and bi-monthly billing cycle. Meter reading in Monthly billing cycle is carried out from every 15th to 20th of the month & in bi-monthly billing cycle, meter reading is carried out from every 21st of month to 10th of succeeding month. After collection of meter reading data, bill printing process is carried out and bills are served to the consumers by sub-division offices.

C. Significant Accounting Policies

1. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS"), under Section 133 of the Act read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended except in so far as the said provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003.

2. Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and as per accrual method of accounting except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period and defined benefit plans which have been measured at actuarial valuation as required by the relevant Ind AS as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

239 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

As the operating cycle cannot be identified in normal course due to the special nature of industry, the same has been assumed to have duration of 12 months. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Group's operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS-1 'Presentation of Financial Statements” and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees ( ) which is the presentation currency of the Group and all values are rounded to the nearest lacs (up to two decimals) except when otherwise indicated.

Claims of suppliers/contractors for price variations are accounted for on its acceptance.

3. Fair Value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidate financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

4. Principles of Consolidation

4.1. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as “the Group”). The Group has investments in joint venture and associate which are accounted using equity method in these consolidated financial statements. Refer Note No. 4 for the accounting policy of investment in joint venture and associate in the consolidated financial statements.

240 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies consistently for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Parent's Standalone Financial Statements except otherwise stated. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Parent's accounting policies. The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the Parent company, i.e., year ended on 31st March, 2020.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by combining the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flow after eliminating in full intra-group assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flow relating to intra-group transactions and unrealized profits. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Parent's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Parent losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Parent's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Parent loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are 241 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

accounted for as if the Parent had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable Ind AS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under Ind AS 109, or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

4.2. Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interests represent the proportion of income, other comprehensive income and net assets in subsidiaries that is not attributable to the Parent's shareholders.

Non-controlling interests are initially measured at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of the interest at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of subsequent changes in equity.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and balance sheet, respectively.

4.3. Goodwill on Consolidation

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised, but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to such entity.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

4.4. Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

242 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties, that have joint control of the arrangement, have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results and, assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with Ind AS - 105 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligation or made payment on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

An investment in an Associate or a Joint Venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an Associate or a Joint Venture. On acquisition of the investment in an Associate or a Joint Venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve in the period in which the investment is acquired.

After application of the equity method of accounting, the Group determines whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the net investment in an associate or a joint venture and that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows from the net investment that can be reliably estimated. If there exists such an objective evidence of impairment, then Group recognise impairment loss with respect to the Group's investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with Ind AS 36 'Impairment of Assets' as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount, Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with Ind AS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. 243 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

4.5. Disclosures

Significant Accounting policies and Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements are intended to serve as a means of informative disclosure and a guide for better understanding of the consolidated position of the Group. Recognizing this purpose, only such policies and notes from the individual financial statements have been disclosed which fairly represent the needed disclosures. Lack of homogeneity and other similar considerations made it desirable to exclude some of them, which in the opinion of the management, could be better viewed when referred from the respective Standalone Financial Statements.

5. Significant Accounting Policies

5.1. Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) comprises of Tangible Assets. PPE are stated at cost, duty credit availed, if any, after reducing accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any; until the date of the Balance Sheet. The cost of PPE comprises of its purchase price or its construction cost (net of applicable tax credit, if any), any cost directly attributable to bring the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management and decommissioning costs. Directly attributable costs are capitalized until the asset is ready for use and includes borrowing cost capitalised in accordance with the Group's accounting policy.

Transition to Ind AS: On transition to lnd AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1st April 2015, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use the "carrying value" as the deemed cost of such property, plant and equipment.

In case of PPE for new projects, extension or renovation and modernization, the related expenses and interest cost up to Commercial Operation Date (COD) as per Power Purchase Agreement, attributable to such projects or expansions or renovation and modernization are capitalized. Expenses incurred during project implementation and on trial run are treated as incidental expenditure during construction and are accordingly capitalized.

Land and Buildings held for use in the supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Capital Spares which can be used only in connection with an item of tangible assets and whose use is not of regular nature are capitalized at cost, as property plant and equipment and depreciated over the residual useful life of the plant. 244 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Property Plant & Equipments also includes service equipments, at the time of initial recognition the Group classifies these items as inventory. Subsequently these items are classified either in Property, Plant and Equipment through Capital Work in Progress or capitalised as service equipment.

The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. PPE are stated at cost, net of tax/duty credit availed, if any, after reducing accumulated depreciation until the date of the Balance Sheet. Directly attributable costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for use in accordance with the Group's accounting policy of capitalisation. (Refer note 18 - Critical Accounting Judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty.)

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs relating to day to day servicing of the item are not recognised in the carrying amount of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment; rather these costs are recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss as incurred.

An item of PPE is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the PPE. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the PPE and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Capital Work-in-Progress

Capital work -in - progress includes the cost incurred on PPE that are not yet ready for the intended use and is capitalized whenever ready for use. All directly attributable expenditures are allocated to the projects on pro rata basis to the accretion made to respective projects. However, directly attributable expenditure of Corporate Office and field offices are allocated to Capital work – in – progress at the predetermined rate having regard to amount of directly attributable expenditure incurred during the year.

Depreciation

Depreciation of these PPE commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

The Group, being engaged in electricity business, is covered under the Electricity Act, 2003 and provisions of the Electricity Act supersede the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Accordingly, the Group charges depreciation on straight line method at the rates the methodology and the residual 245 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 value as prescribed in GERC (MYT) Regulations or the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), 2016.

The depreciation on assets transferred under the transferred scheme of GOG has been charged as per the rates specified in the GERC MYT regulations from the date of transferred scheme as clarified by GERC petition no. 1651/2016 dated 26.05.2017.

The rates/range of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are as follows:

Asset Description Rates/Range Buildings 3.34% Plant & Machinery 5.28% to 9.50% Hydraulic Works 5.28% Other Civil Works 3.34% Lines & Cable Net Work Upto 5.28% Vehicles 9.50% Furniture-Fix & Elect-Light & Fan Installations 6.33% Leasehold Land 3.34% Office Equipments 6.33% Other Assets Not covered above 5.28% Computers 15%

In case of a subsidiary GETCO, Useful Life of the Assets as specified in GERC, MYT Regulations, 2016 is as under; Asset Description Useful Life AC and DC sub-station 35 years Gas Insulated Sub-station (GIS)/Hybrid sub-station 35 years Transmission line (including HVAC and HVDC) 35 years

Depreciation on additions/deletions to PPE during the year is provided for on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of additions/deletions except low value items not exceeding 5,000/- which are fully depreciated at the time of addition. Depreciation on subsequent expenditure on PPE arising on account of capital improvement or other factors is provided for prospectively over the remaining useful life. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed on an annual basis and if necessary, changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. 246 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

In case of GETCO, depreciation on subsequent expenditure on PPE arising on account of capital improvement is provided for prospectively over the remaining useful life. Additional Capital expenditure arising due to finalization of bills on the assets which were put to commercial use in earlier years are depreciated retrospectively from the date of commercial put to use.

Capital spares mostly capable of being used in the power stations with near identical or similar technology using similar plants and machineries and are expected to be used during more than one accounting period. These spares are, therefore, depreciated fully over the residual useful life of the plant.

5.2. Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets with finite useful life are recognized only if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and the cost of assets can be measured reliably. The Intangible Assets are recorded at cost and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets under development includes the cost of assets.

An Intangible Asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between net disposal proceed and carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

The Group amortizes Intangible assets on straight line method as per the methodology and residual value in accordance with GERC (MYT) Regulations, 2016.

5.3. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

The Group reviews at each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If at the reporting period, there is an indication that there is a change in the previously assessed impairment loss, the recoverable amount is reassessed, and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.

5.4. Exploration and Evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred after obtaining the legal right i.e. allotment of mine

247 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

block, to explore are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets and stated at cost less impairment. The exploration and evaluation assets are classified into tangible and intangible assets according to the nature of the assets.

Exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to property, plant and equipment when the technical feasibility and commercial viability has been determined. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment indicators at least annually. Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred prior to obtaining the legal right to explore are expensed as incurred.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure include costs associated with acquisition of licenses and rights to explore; costs of surveys and studies; expenses of geologists; exploratory drilling; activities in relation to determining technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource.

5.5. Non-Current Assets held for Sale

The Group classifies Non-Current Assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use of the assets and actions required to complete such sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified as held for sale only if the management expects to complete the sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.

5.6. Government Grant and Consumer Contributions

Government Grants (including Subsidies) are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that they will be received, and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the Grant.

Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset and contributions by consumers towards items of property, plant and equipment, which require an obligation to provide electricity connectivity to the consumers are initially set up as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period and in proportions of depreciation expense of the assets. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized over the period in which the related costs are incurred and shown separately.

248 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

5.7. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when no significant uncertainty as to the measurability or collectability exists. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

Revenue is measured at the transaction price of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Contract assets are recognized when there is right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that are transferred to a customer and when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) as per contractual terms.

Revenue from Sale of Power and Transmission

Revenue from sale of power (including Deviation Settlement Mechanism (Unscheduled Interchange) is recognised on accrual basis for energy supplied in accordance with the tariff orders awarded by Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) as applicable to the consumers.

Surplus power, if any is sold through bilateral transactions or by putting bids in Power Exchanges on day to day basis and the same is accounted on acceptance of bids. Revenue recognised in excess of billing has been reflected under "other financial assets" as unbilled revenue.

Other Revenue from Power related Activities

Rebate for Prompt Payment towards purchase of power (net), Interest on UI Pool Account, Cash Discount and CDM Benefit from renewable energy are recognised on cash basis.

Wheeling charges recoveries are recognized on accrual basis.

Miscellaneous Revenue from Consumers

Bills raised for theft of energy on consumer are recognized in full as soon as assessment order is received from the competent authority of the respective Company.

Meter rent, recoveries from theft of power / malpractices are recognized on accrual basis. Miscellaneous charges from consumers are recognized on cash basis except when ultimate realization of such income is certain. 249 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Dividend Income

Dividend Income is accounted in the year in which the right to receive the dividend is established.

Interest Income

Interest on investments is booked on a time proportion basis taking into account the amounts invested and the rate of interest.

Penalty and Liquidated Damages

Penalty for delay in supply of materials is recovered as per the terms of purchase order at the time of accounting the purchases whereas refund of penalty is accounted when the order is fully executed by the supplier and the refund is approved by the competent authority.

Liquidated Damages and Penalties in relation to purchase of power and completion of projects are accounted on actual recovery.

Insurance Claims

Claims lodged with the Insurance Company in respect of risks covered are accounted for as and when the claim is received.

Other Income

Income from sale of fly ash, interest income, income on O & M contract, Carbon Emission Reduction (CERs) and other incomes are recognized on accrual basis except when ultimate realization of such income is uncertain.

Income from sale of scrap are accounted for on the basis of actual realization.

Income received in respect of delayed payment charges is accounted for in the subsequent bill, upon realization of the delayed payment made by the consumer.

Amount in respect of unclaimed Security Deposit, Earnest Money Deposit and Misc. Deposit of suppliers and contractors which is pending for more than three years and which, in the opinion of management, is not payable, is considered as income.

Discount received is recognised as other income.

Other Incomes are recognized on accrual basis except when ultimate realization of such income is uncertain.

5.8. Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. The basis of determining the value of each class of inventory is as follows:

(a) Consumables, Stores and Spares, Surplus Material - At cost (Weighted Average Method)

(b) Scrap - At cost or Net Realizable Value determined on the basis of realization made in the past period whichever is lower.

(c) Coal and Oil - Lower of grade-based purchase cost plus freight and other fuel related cost on monthly weighted average basis or Net Realisable Value (NRV).

Inventory consists of stock of items which are used interchangeably for capital expenditure or for regular repairs and maintenance purposes. Since ultimate use of such stock items are indeterminate at the initial recognition, the Group classifies such items as inventory. These items are classified subsequently either in Property, Plant and Equipment through Capital Work in Progress / as service equipment or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when it is so used.

5.9. Business Combinations

Business combinations through common control transactions are accounted on a pooling of interest method. As per pooling of interest method:

i. The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are shown at their carrying amounts.

ii. No adjustments are made to reflect fair values or recognise any new assets or liabilities except the only adjustment that are made are to harmonise accounting policies.

iii. The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination.

The consideration for the business combination can be of securities, cash or other assets. Securities are recorded at nominal value. In determining the value of the consideration, assets other than cash are considered at their fair values. The balance of the retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is aggregated with the corresponding balance appearing in the financial statements of the transferee. The difference, if any, between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve and presented separately from other capital reserves with disclosure of its nature and purpose in the notes. 251 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

5.10. Foreign Exchange Transactions

Transactions in foreign currency are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.

Gains/ losses arising on settlement as also on translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, if the Gains / losses pertains to PPE; they are capitalised till the time the assets are put to commercial use. Any Gains/losses that arise after the projects are commercially put to use are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Further the gains that arise on foreign exchange difference are adjusted upto the extent of losses that were capitalized earlier in the projects.

5.11. Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits include salaries, wages, contribution to provident fund, gratuity, leave encashment, compensated absences and retirement benefits.

(a) Short Term Employee Benefits

Short-Term Employee Benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by the employees are recognized as an expense during the period employee renders services. These benefits include remuneration, bonus, incentives, etc.

(b) Long Term Employee Benefits

i. Defined Contribution Plans

Retirement benefits in the nature of employer's contribution towards Contributory Provident Fund, Employee's Pension Scheme and Group Insurance Scheme (EDLI), etc. are charged as an expense on accrual basis and paid / deposited with the appropriate authorities during the year.

ii. Defined Benefit Plans

The Group has maintained a Group Gratuity Cum Life Assurance Policy with M/s. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) managed by a separate Trust, towards which it annually contributes a sum based on the actuarial valuation made by M/s. LIC. The liability or asset recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The year’s liability is estimated on the basis of actuarial valuation made by LIC using the Projected Unit Credit Method and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. 252 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in Other Comprehensive Income and in the Balance Sheet.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (‘past service cost’ or ‘past service gain‘) 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.

Re-measurements 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 in OCI. 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 annual period to the 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.

For defined retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and consequently recognised in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of reductions in future contributions to the plans.

iii. Other Long-Term Employee Benefits

Other Long-Term Employee Benefits comprise of leave encashment. The leave benefits are recognized based on the present value of defined obligation and the year's liability is estimated on the basis of actuarial valuations made by LIC using the Projected Unit Credit Method and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

5.12. Lease

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the 253 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(A) Leases as Lessee (Assets taken on lease)

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short- term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(i) Lease Liabilities:

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components, except for leases where the company has elected to use practical expedient not to separate non-lease payments from the calculation of the lease liability and ROU asset where the entire consideration is treated as lease component.

(ii) Right-of-use Assets:

The Group recognises right-of-use (ROU) assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities

254 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

Modifications to a lease agreement beyond the original terms and conditions are generally accounted for as a re-measurement of the lease liability with a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset. Any gain or loss on modification is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the modifications that increase the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets at a price commensurate with the stand-alone selling price are accounted for as a separate new lease. In case of lease modifications, discounting rates used for measurement of lease liability and ROU assets is also suitably adjusted.

(iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of Property, Plant and Equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low- value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight- line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the lessee's benefit.

(B) Leases as Lessor (assets given on lease)

When the Group acts as lessor, it determines at the commencement of the lease whether it is a finance lease or an operating lease. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight- line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit derived from the asset given on lease.

5.13. Taxes on Income

Income Tax Expense represents the sum of Current Tax and Deferred Tax.

(a) Current Tax:

Tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'Profit Before 255 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Tax' as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

(b) Deferred Tax:

Deferred Tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTL) are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred Tax Liabilities and Deferred Tax Assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted as at the Balance Sheet date.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

(c) Current and Deferred Tax for the Year:

Current and deferred tax are recognized in Statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

256 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

5.14. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing Costs specifically identified to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The borrowing cost incurred on common funds borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, is apportioned on rational basis to capital work in progress for the year. All other borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred. Capitalisation of Borrowing Cost is suspended when there is no active development or active development is interrupted.

Income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

5.15. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements by way of Notes to Accounts, unless possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arises 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 obligations are disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Provisioning for Bad & Doubtful debts is made by class/group wise debtors based on periodic review of Debtors as well as considering decisions of Lok Adalats held during the year.

Contingent Assets are not recognised but disclosed in financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

257 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

5.16. Material Prior Period Errors

Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the prior periods presented in which the error occurred. If the error occurred before the earliest period presented, the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest period presented, are restated.

5.17. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted Earnings Per Share is computed by adjusting the figures used in the determination of basic EPS to take into account:

(i) After tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares.

(ii) The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.

5.18. Segment Reporting

In accordance with Ind AS 108, 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. The Board of Directors is collectively the Group's 'Chief Operating Decision Maker' or 'CODM' within the meaning of Ind AS 108.

5.19. Events occurring after Reporting Period

Material adjusting events (that provides evidence of condition that existed at the balance sheet date) occurring after the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Non adjusting events (that are indicative of conditions that arose subsequent to the balance sheet date) occurring after the balance sheet date that represents material change and commitment affecting the financial position are disclosed in the financial statements.

5.20. Exceptional Items

Management considers Exceptional items as those material items which derive from events or transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group and which individually or, if of a similar type, in aggregate, need to be disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence.

258 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

5.21. Financial Instruments

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised and measured at fair value, except when the effect is immaterial. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(A) Financial Assets

i. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid financial instruments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

ii. Financial Assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Method (EIR), except when the effect of applying it is immaterial, if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

iii. Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income

Financial Assets (including investments) are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group has made an irrevocable election to present in Other Comprehensive Income subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investments not held for trading. 259 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

iv. Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial Assets (including investments) are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.

v. Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial asset is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Group recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses, if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.

Further for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Group has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109 i.e. expected credit loss allowance as computed based on historical credit loss experience

vi. Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety (except for equity instruments designated as FVTOCI), the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

(B) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

i. Classification as Debt and Equity

Debt and Equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

ii. Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost

Financial Liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest

260 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

method (EIR), except when the effect of applying it is immaterial. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

iii. Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received. net of direct issue costs.

iv. Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

The Group derecognizes Financial Liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

v. Effective Interest Method:

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

5.22. Power Purchase

Power purchased from IPPs is accounted (net of infirm power, wherever applicable) on the basis of Power Purchase Agreements entered into with the respective parties.

Power purchased from Central Sector is accounted on the basis of tariff determined by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) through various orders.

Power purchased from Renewable Sources and Traders (Bilateral) is accounted on the basis of contracts entered into with the respective parties.

Need based power is purchased by putting bids in Power Exchanges on day to day basis and the same is accounted on acceptance of bids.

The energy accounts in few cases are delayed for settlement due to complexity in transactions involved in power sector. The Group receives receivable / payable claims for past period due to delayed settlement. 261 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

The Group accounts such claims in the year of receipt as per prevailing practice followed.

5.23. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under Note 1 above, the management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Such estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future periods.

Critical Judgements in applying Accounting Policy

Following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the Management have made in the process of applying the Group's Accounting Policies and that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements.

a. Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment1

Estimated useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of industry and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.

Useful life of the assets of the generation/transmission/distribution of electricity business is determined by the CERC/GERC Tariff Regulations in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Group reviews at the end of each reporting date the useful life of property, plant and equipment, other than the assets of generation/transmission/distribution of electricity business which are governed by CERC/GERC Regulations, and are adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

b. Evaluation of directly attributable costs 2

The Group capitalizes the directly attributable costs to bring the Property, Plant and Equipment into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. In assessing the directly attributable costs other than borrowing costs, the 262 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

management has exercised judgement to evaluate a number of factors including the resources applied for direct construction related activity, enabling activities, ordinary operations of the Group, level of construction related activity compared to Group's operating activity, consideration of the costs charged to external parties for similar works undertaken as well as experience of group companies engaged in distribution business. Based on this assessment and particularly considering experience across the group companies engaged in distribution business, the management estimates a capitalisation rate of directly attributable costs to be applied on the expenditures on the relevant assets. The management reviews this capitalization rate on a periodic basis and any change in the rate is applied prospectively. c. Evaluation of Indicators for Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment2

The evaluation of applicability of indicators for impairment of assets require assessment of external factors (significant decline in asset's value, economic or legal environment, market interest rates, etc.) and internal factors (obsolescence or physical damage of an asset, poor economic performance of the asset, etc.) which could result in significant change in recoverable amount of the Property, Plant and Equipment. d. Regulatory Deferral Accounts1

Ind AS - 114 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” permits the Group to apply the requirements of this standard in its first Ind AS Financial Statements if and only if it conducts rate-regulated activities and recognised amounts that qualify as Regulatory Deferral Account Balances in its financial statements in accordance with its previous GAAP. As the Group had consistently elected not to recognise the Regulatory Deferral Balances in its previous GAAP, the requirement of IND AS 114 does not apply to the Group. e. Security Deposits2

Considering the historical experience and practical expediency, the Group has exercised its judgement on timing of settlement of security deposit collected from the customers and has accordingly classified the undiscounted value of security deposit as non-current liability or current liability as the case may be. f. Impairment of Trade Receivables2

The Group estimates the credit allowance as per practical expedient based on historical credit loss experience as enumerated in Note-11.

263 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20 g. Impairment of Investments2

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its investments when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for. h. Deferred Tax Assets2

Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) are recognised for unused tax losses / credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. i. Government Grants and Consumer Contributions12

The grants i.e. revenue subsidies are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will receive the grants and will comply with the conditions attached to them. Management judgement is required to determine when reasonable assurance is attained, based on historical experience of receipts including the quantum of aggregation, approved budget estimates of Government of Gujarat, likely timing and consideration of claim acceptance/rejection. Based on this assessment, the Group judges that in the case of revenue subsidies, there is reasonable assurance of complying with the conditions and receiving the subsidies as approved in the budget estimates of every year and the remaining subsidies which are receivable/claimable would be recognized when reasonable assurance is attained.

The Group is required to recognise grants/consumer contribution that compensate the cost of assets to profit or loss on a systematic basis considering the amount of periodic consumption of the assets. This is based on the assessment of the present status of, and expected future benefits from the assets. The Group recognizes grants and consumer contributions that compensate the cost of an asset in the Statement of Profit and Loss on the basis of straight line method and consequentially the rates at which grant/consumer contribution is recognised in income. j. Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO)2

Management's estimate of Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may 264 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

significantly impact the Defined Benefit Obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses. k. Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, Contingent Liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Group. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the Notes but are not recognised. Potential liabilities that are remote are neither recognized nor disclosed as contingent liability. The management decides whether the matters needs to be classified as 'remote', 'possible' or 'probable' based on expert advice, past judgments, experiences etc.

Gratuity

The Group provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees’ who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees’ last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The Gratuity Plan is a funded plan and the Group makes contributions to LIC. The Group maintains a target level of funding to be done over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments. Scheme is managed through own Gratuity Trust. The liability for gratuity is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation.

D. Risk Exposure:

These plans typically expose the Group to actuarial risks such as: Investment Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Salary Risk.

Investment Risk The Present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation is calculated using the discount rate determined by LIC of India as the fund is being managed under Gratuity Assurance Plan. Interest Risk A decrease in the interest rate will increase the plan liability while increase in interest rate will decrease the plan liability. Salary Risk The present value of obligation is calculated by reference to future salary.

No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.

In respect of the above plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at 31st March, 2020 by a member firm of the Institute of Actuaries of India. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method .

The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations, routine and capital expenditure. The Group’s principal financial assets include loans, advances, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks viz regulatory risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk etc. The Group’s primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. It advises on financial risks and appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group.

Regulatory Risk

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is negligible as primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with fixed interest rates.

Credit Risk Management

Credit Risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as well as customers including receivables. Credit risk management considers available reasonable and supportive forward- looking information including indicators like external credit rating (as far as available), macro-economic information (such as regulatory changes, government directives, market interest rate). 322 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large. None of the customers accounted for more than 10% of the receivables and revenue for the year ended 31st March, 2020 and 31st March, 2019.

Bank balances are held with reputed and creditworthy banking institutions.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are required to be settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents including bank deposits and availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations when due. The management prepares annual budgets for detailed discussion and analysis of the nature and quality of the assumption, parameters etc. Daily and monthly cash flows are prepared, followed and monitored at senior levels to prevent undue loss of interest and utilize cash in an effective manner.

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The information included in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

However, IRP admitted the claim of GETCO at a notional value of 1 to ensure participation of GETCO in Corporate Resolution Process and the remaining amount was not admitted because of pending dispute with respect to this claim before various authorities.

Accordingly, while preparation of Financial Statements of FY 2017-18, GETCO relooked at the outstanding dues of M/s Essar Steel considering the initiation of CIRP process against M/s Essar Steel and reviewed the provisions of IND AS 109. As per Ind AS109, GETCO is required to assess the recoverability of all its receivables considering not only the legal position in terms of validity of the claim, but more importantly the probability of recoverability of the amount from trade receivables considering its financial situation/state of affairs, willingness of the party as well as the capability of the party to pay its outstanding dues for making necessary provisions. Accordingly, in FY 2017-18, GETCO has written off the dues of M/s Essar Steel for 36,577.09 lakhs in the Books of Accounts.

GETCO has filed an Interlocutory Application before National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench not to approve the Resolution Plan submitted by the Resolution Professional as the plan does not provide any pay-out to GETCO for outstanding transmission charges. NCLT vide its order dtd 4th March, 2019, stated that Resolution Professional have to include GETCO’s entire claim in Information Memorandum instead of notional amount of 1. The Adjudicating Authority (NCLT) has also suggested that 15% of total Resolution Value offered by Arcelor may be segregated for meeting with claims of Operational Creditor.

The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) had been initiated against M/s Essar Steel Limited. The CIRP had been approved by the Honourable National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad and it is ongoing. GETCO has filed its claim with the designated Resolution Professional. The Management has and is assessing the progress and status of proceedings with various forums including NCLT, NCLAT and other courts. Further, the Management also considered the provisions of IBC as well as the broader experience of the insolvency proceedings. Notwithstanding the legal tenability of the 333 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Company’s claims and litigation and without prejudice to the Company’s rights to recover the aforementioned claims, the Management noted based on the facts and circumstances as of the date of issue of previous year financial statements, the receivable to be irrecoverable in its likelihood. Hence, the Company had written off the entire receivable of 36,577.08 lakhs in the previous year financial statements.

The same was shown under the head Exceptional Items in Statement of Profit & Loss in FY 2017-18.

The order of the NCLT was challenged by GETCO and other Operational creditors in NCLAT (Appellate). NCLAT vide its order dtd 4th July, 2019 upheld the order of NCLT in providing GETCO’s entire claim in the Total claim of the Operational creditors. Accordingly, the total list of Operational creditors was revised to 19,719.21 crores in which GETCO’s claims were also included. The order of the NCLAT was challenged by the Financial Creditors in the Supreme Court. Further Ministry of Law and Justice made an amendment to the IBC 2016 on 6th August, 2019 to provide for priority of the payment out of the proceeds from the resolution process in favour of the secured and financial creditors to the complete exclusion of the Operation creditors. Accordingly, GETCO on 14th August, 2019 filed a writ petition in Supreme Court against Union of India through the Secretary Ministry of Law and Justice for quashing the provisions of sections 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 of the IBC (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Act 26 of 2019), inter alia, providing for the priority of the claim contained in Section 53 of the IBC to be applicable for approval of the resolution plan.

Supreme Court vide its order dtd 15th November, 2019 stated that the resolution professional was correct in only admitting the claim at a notional value of 1 due to the pendency of disputes with regard to these claims. So vide the aforesaid order of Supreme Court, the claim of GETCO stood at Notional Value of 1. Further, GETCO has received 1 from Arcellor Mittal on 16.12.2019. Further GETCO has also filed review petition on 27.1.2020 (Diary no. 3373/2020) against the order of the Supreme Court dated 15.11.2019 in Civil Appeal Diary No. 24477 of 2019 which was dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. 55.

Further, the depreciation has been accounted for subsequent years as per the Depreciation Policy. 334 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

As per Para 15 of Ind AS 105 “Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” an Entity shall measure a non-current asset (or Disposal Group) classified as held for sale at lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. However, the Group has not determined the fair value less costs to sell for assets retired from active use as the management is of the opinion that the fair value of the same is higher the Net Book Value due to very old assets and upward trend in Scrap rates. As a result of this, Group has not recognised any expected loss, if any, in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Discarded assets are treated as ‘assets classified as held for sale’ on and from the date of approval by competent authority.

Land held under lease is amortised as per the rate notified by the GERC.

Further, some balances of Trade and other receivables, Trade and other payables and Loans are subject to confirmation/reconciliation. Adjustments if any, will be accounted for on confirmation/ reconciliation of the same, which will not have any material impact.

A lessee, under Ind AS 116, recognises “Right of Use” asset representing it’s right to use the underlying asset and a “Lease Liability” representing it’s obligation to make lease payments.

(b) Pursuant to Ind AS 116 “Leases” becoming mandatory, effective from 1st April, 2019, the Group adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease arrangements / contracts which existed on 1st April 2019, using the “Modified Retrospective Approach”. Comparatives as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore, are continued to be reported in accordance with the accounting policy with respect to “Leases” included in the financial statements for the financial year ended on 31st March, 2019.

The Company has considered such “E-Vehicles” as low value items, and hence, has opted for the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for such lease arrangements having low value underlying asset.

(d) In respect of Lease Arrangements, which are cancellable without any significant penalty either by lessor or lessee by giving appropriate notice as per respective agreements, do not create enforceable 335 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

rights and obligations between the parties and thus, do not constitute a contract. Accordingly, the Group does not apply Ind AS 116 on such Lease Arrangements.

(e) There is no effect of this adoption on the profit before tax, profit for the year, earnings per share and cash flows.

(f) The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

1. Applied the exemption, not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application.

2. Applied the exemption, not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

3. Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

59. GEB’s Contributory Provident Fund Trust (GEB’s CPF Trust) is an exempted PF Trust (U/s 17 of the Employees Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952) which is responsible for all Provident Fund compliances and also manages the Provident Fund accumulations of all employees of the Group. The Trust which is a separate entity had invested a portion of its corpus amounting to 16510.00 Lakhs in 3 IL&FS Group Companies (viz. M/s. IL&FS Transport Network Ltd., M/s. Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Ltd. and M/s. IL&FS Financial Services Ltd.) in accordance with the investment pattern / guidelines issued by Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi. Due to sudden financial crisis, the IL&FS Group Companies stopped payment of interest to the Trust in 2018. Thereafter, the entire IL&FS Group was referred to National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016.

As a result, full recovery of principal and interest from IL&FS became doubtful for GEB’s CPF Trust. Therefore, GUVNL being the parent establishment of the Trust has withheld a total amount of 18256.66 Lakhs (towards principal and interest) from monthly power purchase bills of 7 IL&FS Group Companies (from November, 2018 onwards) with whom the Company is having Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). Subsequently, GUVNL has transferred this entire retained amount of 18256.66 Lakhs to GEB’s CPF Trust in March, 2020. As on date, NCLT resolution proceedings are in progress and its ultimate result is awaited.

Similarly, the Trust had also invested a portion (total 17397.60 Lakhs) of its corpus in M/s. Punjab State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd., M/s. Punjab Finance Corporation Ltd., M/s. Reliance Capital Ltd., M/s. Reliance Home Finance Ltd., and M/s. Dewan Housing Finance Ltd. in accordance with the investment pattern / guidelines issued by Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi. But, due to financial crisis in these organisations, they have stopped payment of interest / repayment of principal to the Trust. Therefore, GUVNL has provided 10946.00 Lakhs towards dues on account of interest and principal considering the future uncertainty regarding full recovery of the same from these Companies. As on date, the resolution proceedings for these Companies are in progress before different Forums, as reflected in Note No.37 : Employee Benefit Expenses.

60 The Holding Company GUVNL, enters into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with various power generators to procure power as per agreed contractual terms. Contractual issues arising between the Holding Company and the power generators are addressed on an ongoing basis including if the matters have to be enforced through Regulatory forums and Courts. Certain contractual issues had arisen between the power generators and the Holding Company in the earlier years which have progressed through various stages of grievance redressal. and contract enforcement through our justice system and is still under dispute. The Holding Company has reviewed the progress of all such

346 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

disputed / contested matters and has assessed the provision as of the year end based on best judgement basis as reflected in Note No.28.

61 Govt. of Gujarat implemented the “UJALA GUJARAT” Scheme which entailed promotion of replacement of conventional bulbs with energy efficient bulbs in order to save energy. This scheme was implemented jointly by GUVNL and its Distribution subsidiaries (DISCOMs) along with the executing agency M/s. Energy Efficient Services Limited (EESL). EESL has made claims under the scheme, which have been only partially paid and an amount of 1,771.11 Lakhs (previous year 1,771.11 Lakhs) has been retained from the total claims, which would be released after complete reconciliation and submission of all related information by EESL. The amount retained is reflected in Note No.23: Other Financial Liability as “Deposits and Retention from Suppliers/Contractors”.

62 “Loan to Others” reflected in Note No.14: Other Financial Assets is the amount recoverable from M/ s. Federation of Gujarat Industries (FGI), Baroda, for conducting Switch Global Expo-2016 event, for which the Parent Company has initiated legal recovery process. The Parent Company assesses full recovery of this amount and hence has considered this amount to be good and recoverable.

63 Secured and Unsecured Loans by GETCO

(i) As per Clause 3(2) of the Gujarat Electricity Industrial (Reorganization & Regulation) Act and Comprehensive Transfer Scheme 2003 if the assets of the undertaking transferred are subject to security document in favour of third party (Lender) for any financial obligation or arrangement by Erstwhile GEB and the said loans are required to be apportioned to different transferees the Govt. may by order do so and on such apportionment the Security will be applicable to that apportioned liabilities only by operation of Law.

(ii) The loans which were raised by Erstwhile GEB from Bonds, Banks, PFC, REC, LIC, Financial Institutions and other Lenders against the Security of the assets relating to Generation, Transmission and Distribution activities and were used for common purposes are continued in the Books of GEB / (now GUVNL) on behalf of all transferee companies and the same have been apportioned under FRP Notification dated 3rd October, 2006 based on their purpose and usage amongst all transferee companies and the same loans have been accounted by the Company as “Loans allocated from GUVNL – Lender Wise” in separate accounts. The repayments and interest thereon are reimbursed by the Company to GUVNL. The Outstanding balance of such loan is only from Asian Development Bank (ADB) having outstanding loan balance of 2,819.90 lakhs (P.Y. 3,389.95 lakhs) @ 10.00% p.a. in the accounts of GETCO.

(iii) The Company during the F.Y. 2020-21, has made prepayment of the loans of Rural Electrification 347 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Corporation Limited amounting to 110,074.00 lakhs. The same has been treated as Non Adjusting Event occurring after the reporting period and is disclosed appropriately.

64 Adhering to the Significant Accounting Policy adopted by the Group, Grant / Subsidy and Consumer’s contributions related to depreciable assets i.e. Property, Plant and Equipment are initially recognised as “Deferred Income” and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the period and in the proportion in which depreciation expenses on those assets are recognised. The above referred accounting policy being followed was in compliance with the previous GAAP i.e. AS – 12, Indian GAAP as well as the current GAAP being followed i.e. Ind AS 20 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) on ‘Government Grants’. The deferred income recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss was determined based on Reducing Balance Method (Written Down Value) (RBM / WDV) upto financial year ended 31st March 2015, which was changed w.e.f. 1st April 2016 to Straight Line Method in order to further align / match the grant income recognition to the depreciation being charged in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The rate applied for grant recognition is equivalent to rate of depreciation charge on the assets which is 5.28%.

The change was made based on the Group’s experience over the years and the circumstances obtained at the time of change. The Group determined such change of method as change in accounting estimate based on the consideration of the relevant Ind AS, particularly para 34, 35 and 48 of Ind AS 8 on ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’ which was disclosed in the critical judgements and notes to consolidated financial statements in the year of change. The Group applied such a change in estimate prospectively in compliance with Ind AS 8.

The office of C&AG, Ahmedabad vide their letter provided the audit comment on the financial position i.e. Balance Sheet as at 31.03.2019 particularly Equity and Liabilities in relation to Deferred Government Grants, Subsidies and Consumer Contributions and stated that the Group changed the method in order to correct an error and such change should have been worked out retrospectively. Similar comments were also issued for Financial Years 2016-17 and 2017-18 by C&AG office. The Group had provided explanation of its view, that such:

i. a change is not a correction of prior period error as the WDV method selected earlier, was an informed and deliberated decision which was noted to be in compliance with the accounting standards in the earlier financial years even by all statutory auditors of the concerned group Companies; and

ii. it is a change in estimate which has to be worked out prospectively.

Pursuant to the above referred comments by the C&AG Office in respect of accounting treatment given by the Group, Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL), the parent Company, decided to 348 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

consult and obtain an opinion from a reputed, prestigious and independent professional firm of Chartered Accountants. Accordingly, the parent Company GUVNL obtained the opinion from such a Firm (the Firm) on the accounting treatment given by the Group. The Firm has provided the opinion vide Letter dt. 1st September, 2020 and concluded that the change in estimates cannot be considered as correction of Prior Period Error and impact of such change in the estimate need to be considered prospectively. GUVNL has shared the Firm’s expert opinion with Office of C&AG vide Letter dt. 14th September 2020.

Given this view, the Group has continued to recognise the change in method of computing Grant / Consumer Contribution received against depreciable asset to be recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss from Reducing Balance Method to Straight Line Method as not a correction of prior period error but a “Change in Estimate” and accordingly continued to apply prospectively in terms of provisions of Ind AS-8 “Accounting Policies, change in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.

If the Group had applied the above change in method retrospectively, the balances of the Government grants and Consumer contributions as at 31st March, 2020 would have been higher by 145,015.03 lakhs. The above information is only for comparative purpose and has no impact on these financial statements.

65 Legal Ownership(Titles) of Immovable Properties

The immovable properties, which have been transferred to group Companies are held in the name of erstwhile GEB, the procedure for the registration and / or transfer in the name of the respective Companies is under process.

66 Borrowing Cost

As per Ind AS 23-Para 6 and 6A “Borrowing Cost” Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are to be capitalized as part of such assets. However it is not possible for the Group to directly arrive at cost to be charged to qualifying asset and hence it has adopted the weighted average rate of borrowing of loans directly availed by the Group.

68. COVID-19

COVID-19 virus, a global pandemic has affected the world economy including India leading to significant decline and the volatility in the financial markets and the decline in economic activities.

The Group is engaged in the “Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Bulk Purchase & Sale (Trading) of Electricity”. Since electricity has been categorised as an “Essential Service”, the Group was in position to supply its services throughout lockdown period to all its consumers except to commercial and industrial consumers in case of whom, there was drastic reduction of demand due to lockdown situation.

Estimation of Uncertainties:

The Group believes that it has taken into account all the known impacts arising from COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Group, as at the date of approval of the financial statements has used internal and external sources of information. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The Group will continue to monitor any material changes in the future economic conditions and the impact thereof on the Group, if any. The eventual outcome of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s business may be different from that estimated as on the date of approval of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment:

The Group has estimated recoverable amount of the cash generating units and has determined it to be greater than the carrying amount. Reasonable sensitivities in key assumptions consequent to the change in estimated future economic conditions on account of possible effects relating to COVID19 is unlikely to cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit.

351 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

Capital Work-in-Progress:

There is impact on activities related to ongoing projects which have been hampered and may result into delays in implementation of these projects. However, the group expects that the ongoing projects will be resumed and that the projects will remain commercially viable, taking into account the availability of resources.

Investments, Loans and Advances & Other Assets:

In assessing the recoverability of Group’s assets such as investments, loans, advances and other financial and non-financial assets, the Group has considered internal and external information up to the date of approval of the financial statements. The Group has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used based on the internal and external information / indicators of future economic conditions and expects to recover the carrying amount of the assets.

Inventories:

The Group has evaluated the adequacy of provision on its carrying amount of inventory on account of COVID 19. However, based on the assessment made, no additional provision is required to the carrying amount of inventory, as it has been moving in the ordinary course post the year end.

Trade Receivables:

The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. In assessing the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group has considered subsequent recoveries, past trends, and internal and external information available upto the date of issuance of the financials. Based on assessment done by the Group, there is no allowance for credit losses required based on the subsequent recovery of these receivables.

Revenue:

The Group’s revenue from “Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Bulk Sale of Power” has downward impact due to lockdown mainly in commercial and industrial units. Since this situation will likely prevail in Financial Year 2020-21, the Group is in process of identification of loss in revenue due to disruption of supply of electricity to these units.

Employee and Other Costs:

The Group is making payments of salaries and wages to all employees on its payrolls as also the

352 GUJARAT URJA VIKAS NIGAM LIMITED 16TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-20

contract workers during the time of lockdown. Further, the Group is also incurring various other costs, including fixed costs during the period of full/partial lockdown. This may impact the profitability levels of the Group.

However, the subsidiary company GETCO is making payments of salaries and wages to all employees on its payrolls as also the contract workers during the time of lockdown. It is to mention that Ministry of Finance, Government of India vide its notification no. 1/1/2020-E-II (B) dtd 23.04.2020 has decided not to pay additional Dearness Allowance (DA) to the Central Government Employees due from 01.01.2020. Further, it was also decided that additional instalments of DA due from 01.07.2020 to 01.01.2021 shall also not be paid. However the DA at current rates shall continue to be paid. Further, the rates of DA as effective 01.01.2020, 01.07.2020 and 01.01.2021 will be restored prospectively and will be subsumed in the cumulative revised rate effective from 01.07.2021. No arrears from the period 01.01.2020 to 30.06.2021 shall be paid.

Contracts and Commitments (If Any):

The Group has binding purchase contracts with few of the suppliers for raw materials, power, etc. The Group has evaluated the impact of disruptions of business operations on those contracts.

Going Concern:

The management has evaluated the various financial ratios, expected ageing and maturities of assets and liabilities and the various internal and external information available. The management does not see any risks to Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and expects that Group will be able to meet its liabilities in the foreseeable future, as and when the same fall due.

69 Statement of Management a.
