1. Reporting entity
Thyrocare Technologies Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in India, with its registered office situated
at D/37-1, TTC Industrial Area, MIDC Turbhe, Navi Mumbai – 400703, Maharashtra, India. The Company has been
incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act in India and its equity shares are listed on the National Stock
Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India. The Company operates in the healthcare industry and is
involved in providing quality diagnostic services at affordable costs to patients, laboratories and hospitals in India.
2. Basis of preparation
A. Statement of compliance
These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards as
notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act) read with Rule 3 of
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS’) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The standalone financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 29 April 2022.
C. Basis of measurement
The standalone financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items :
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized prospectively.
Judgements
Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts
recognized in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes :
Note 3 D, 3 E, 4 and 5 - determining an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life;
Note 6, 7A – Impairment of Investments - recoverable amount requires estimates of operating margin, discount rate, future
growth rate, terminal values, etc.
Note 30 - determining the provision for income taxes;
Note 32 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
Note 34 - Fair value measurement of financial instruments; and
Note 35 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and
magnitude of an outflow of resources.
The Company, in case of assets held for sale, makes use of valuation certificates obtained from third party professionals
for determining significant fair value measurement for cases covered under Level 3.
The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such
as statements of asset management companies managing the mutual fund schemes, is used to measure fair values, then
the Company assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet
the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
Significant valuation issues, if any, are reported to the company’s audit committee.
Fair value is categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques
as follows.
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (includes mutual funds that have
quoted price/ declared NAV).
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly
(i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If
the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then
the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level
input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during
which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
(i) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
(ii) it is expected to be realised within twelve months from the reporting date;
(iii) it is held primarily for the purposes of being traded; or
(iv) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria :
(i) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
(ii) it is due to be settled within twelve months from the reporting date;
(iii) it is held primarily for the purposes of being traded;
(iv) the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of liability for atleast twelve months from the
reporting date.
Operating Cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
Based on the nature of operations and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in
cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current
- non-current classifications of assets and liabilities.
B. Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the
dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange
rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities are translated at the rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in statement
of profit or loss.
C. Financial instruments
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities
are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus except for receivables / contract assets
under Ind AS 115 which are measured at transaction price, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL),
transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
- amortised cost;
- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI); or
- Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company
changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as
at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets 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.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present
subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI — equity investment). This election
is made on an investment- by- investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at
FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate
a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL
if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
- the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include
whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest
rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash
outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;
- how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the management;
- the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model)
and how those risks are managed;
- how managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the
assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
- the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and
expectations about future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered
sales for this purpose, consistent with the Company’s continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis
are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition.
‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal
amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk
and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers
the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual
term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In
making this assessment, the Company considers:
- contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
- terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate features;
- terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non- recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment
amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding,
which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a
financial asset acquired at a significant discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or
requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid)
contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as
consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
(iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor
retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either
all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified
terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at
fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial
liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
(iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only
when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them
on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable
purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its
working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site
on which it is located.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure
will flow to the Company.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and
equipment recognised as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed
cost of such property, plant and equipment.
(iv) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their
estimated useful lives using the written down value method, and is generally recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is
reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment prescribed as per Schedule II are as follows:
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Based on technical evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimates of useful lives as given
above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for
use (disposed of).
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment
property at its carrying amount on the date of reclassification.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets
recognised as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of
such intangible assets.
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated
useful lives using the straight-line method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
- Software - 5 years
- Trademark – 5 years
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted
if appropriate.
F. Investment property
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale
in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
Upon initial recognition, an investment property is measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property
is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its investment property
recognised as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of
such investment property.
Since the Company has leased part of its building to related party to conduct the business operation, based on technical
evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes the indicative useful life of relevant type of asset mentioned
in Part C of Schedule II to the Act, as representing the best estimate of the period over which investment properties (which
are quite similar) are expected to be used. Accordingly, the Company depreciates investment properties over a period
of 60 years on a written-down value basis.
G. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted
average formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other
costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion
and selling expenses.
Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in processing are not written down below cost except in
cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net
realisable value.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
H. Impairment
(i) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on:
- financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost. A financial asset
is ‘credit- impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the
financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit- impaired includes the following observable data
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- a breach of contract such as a default being past due for 90 days or more;
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy, or other financial reorganisation; or the disappearance of an
active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected
life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible
within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period
over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when
estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and
available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on
the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward- looking information.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic
prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets
or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However,
financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s
procedures for recovery of amounts due.
The company’s non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually
for impairment.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating
units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent
of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to
sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
The Company’s corporate assets (e.g., central office building for providing support to various CGUs) do not generate
independent cash inflows. To determine impairment of a corporate asset, recoverable amount is determined for the CGUs
to which the corporate asset belongs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to
sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment loss recognised in respect of a CGU
is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying
amounts of the other assets of the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not subsequently reversed. In respect of other assets for which impairment loss
has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the
loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised.
Losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in
profit or loss.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. The liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to
dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The
results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
The post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement to
fair value less costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets constituting the discontinued operation shall be disclosed
separately as a single amount in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
An analysis of the single amount into the revenue, expenses and pre-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations, the
related income tax expense as required by Ind AS 12 and the gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fair value
less costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets constituting the discontinued operation along with the related income
tax expense thereon as required by Ind AS 12 may be presented in the notes or in the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss.
J. Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service
is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company
has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee,
and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related
services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments
is available.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net
obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value
of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit
method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present
value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions
to the plan (‘the asset ceiling’). In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any
minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company
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 then-net defined
benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a
result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans
are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past
service (‘past service cost’ or ‘past service gain’) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or
loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount
of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is
discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured
on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains
or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits
and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12
months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
Ind AS 115 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized.
Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Determining the
timing of the transfer of control – at a point in time or over time requires judgement.
Revenue stream Nature and timing of satisfying performance obligations, including Revenue recognition under Ind AS

to customers generally ranged from 30 days to 90 days. The Company agreed point of delivery which
generally does not have refund/warranty obligations. generally is the premises of the
customer.
Income from technical assistance and trade mark assignment is recognised once the Company’s right to receive the
revenue is established by the reporting date. Income from technical assistance and trademark is recognised as an agreed
percentage of the turnover of the respective entities, as per the terms of the respective agreements.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration
from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, a contract
liability is recognised when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company
performs under the contract.
M. Leases
The Company has applied Ind AS 116 Leases, using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative
information has not been restated and continues to be reported under Ind AS 17. The details of accounting policies
under Ind AS 17 are disclosed separately if they are different from those under Ind AS 116 and the impact of changes is
disclosed separately in this note.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, A contract is, or contains
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company
assesses whether :
- the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be
physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a
substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
- the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the
period of use; and
- the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making
rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision
about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the
asset if either, throughout the period of use:
o the Company has the right to operate the asset; or
o the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration
in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.
(i) As a lessee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use
asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle
and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-
of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset
is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following :
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date;
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered
by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an
option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the
Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it
considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option
to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a
change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is change
in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the
amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether
it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
he Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property, separately, in Note 5B
T
‘Right-of-use long term leases (net of net investment in sub-leases)’ and lease liabilities in Note 20A and Note 21B, in the
statement of financial position.
However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease
components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term-leases of machinery that
have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments
associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(ii) As a lessor
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an
operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the
risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if
not, then it is an operating lease. As a part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether
the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately.
It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use assets arising from the head lease, not
with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption
described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease otherwise it is classified as finance lease.
In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant
periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease.
The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight–line basis over the
lease term as part of ‘other income’.
The accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from Ind
AS 116. However, when the Company was an intermediate lessor the sub-leases were classified with reference to the
underlying asset.
The Company presents right-of-use assets those were sub-leased, as net-off, in Note 5B ‘Right to use long term leases
(net of net investment in sub-leases)’ and receivables against sub-leases in Note 9 ‘Other Non-current financial assets’
and Note 16 ‘Other Current financial assets’, in the statement of financial position.
In case of sublease, finance lease receivable is netted off from the value of Right of Use asset.in Note 5B.
(iii) Others
The Company entered into lease with the landlord for land at central processing laboratory premises about 10 years ago.
The lease premium paid on transfer of lease rights in favor of the Company, is capitalised in the books and amortised
over the period of the lease.
Some of these arrangements are not in the legal form of lease, but a portion of the cost paid to the vendors is considered
to contain a lease element due to the nature of the contractual terms.
The Company applied Ind AS 116 with a date of initial application of 1 April 2019. As a result, the Company has changed
its accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below.
The Company applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial
application is recognized in retained earnings at 1 April 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are
disclosed below.
A. Definition of a lease
Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease. Under Ind AS
116, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained
earlier in this Note K.
On transition to Ind AS 116, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which
transaction are leases. It applied Ind AS 116 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that
were not identified as leases under Ind AS 17 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition
of a lease under Ind AS 116 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 April 2019.
B. As a lessee
As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of
whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to
the Company. Under Ind AS 116, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e.
these leases are on balance sheet.
The Company decided to apply recognition exemption to short-term leases of machinery and lease of IT equipment.
Leases classified as operating leases under Ind AS 17
At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 April 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at either:
o At their carrying amount as if Ind AS 116 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application – the Company applied this approach to its largest
property leases; or
o an amount equal to lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments – the Company
applied this approach for all leases.
The Company used the following practical expedients when applying Ind AS 116 to leases previously classified as
operating leases under Ind AS 17.
o applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
o applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of
lease term.
o excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
o Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
C. As a lessor
The Company is not required to make any adjustments on transition to Ind AS 116 for leases in which it acts as a
lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Company accounted for its leases in accordance with Ind AS 116 from the date of
initial application.
Under Ind AS 116, the Company is required to assess the classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use
asset, not the underlying asset. On transition, the Company reassessed the classification of a sub-lease contract previously
classified as an operating lease under Ind AS 17. The Company concluded that the sub-lease is a finance lease under
Ind AS 116.
The Company applied Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers to allocate consideration in the contract to
each lease and non-lease component, to the extent applicable.
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument to :
O. Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a
business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income
taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised
amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised
in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the
Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not
reverse in the foreseeable future; and
- taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available.
Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has
sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available
against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets — unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed
at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that
the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability
is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analysis presented above may
not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions
would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above
sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit
method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation
as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers
and loans.

creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered. Sale limits are
established for each customer and reviewed periodically. Any sales exceeding those limits require approval from
the management.
Security deposits

deposit for participation in tender.
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a credit limit that is
linked to either category of the customer or the security deposits paid by the customer to avail the services.

whether they are individuals or legal entities, their geographic locations, industry, trading history with the Company
and existence of previous financial difficulties, if any.

in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.
The Company has an exposure of Rs. Nil as on 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021 : Rs. 6.36 crore) for loan given
to subsidiary. Such loan is classified as financial asset measured at amortised cost. The Company did not have
any amounts that were past due but not impaired at 31 March 2022. The Company had no collateral in respect
of this loan.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks is generally low as the said deposits have been made
with the banks who have been assigned high credit rating by international and/or domestic credit rating agencies.

investments in subsidiaries, mutual funds and preference shares. These mutual funds, preference shares and
counterparties have low credit risk.
Movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables is as follows :
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which
sales and purchases are denominated and the functional currency of Company. The functional currency for large
number of transactions of the Company is INR and majority of the customers the Company dealt with operate
from India only. The Company receives more than 98% of its revenue from the domestic operations only.

Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the INR or US dollar at 31 March 2022 would have affected
the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss
by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain
constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

outflows, if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgments/ decisions pending with various
forums/ authorities.

and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components,
and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly
by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and
assess their performance.
The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. These business
units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing
strategies. For each of the business units, the Group’s CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
The Group operates from its centralised laboratory, regional processing laboratories, medical cyclotron facility, PET-CT
centres and corporate office in India and therefore does not have much of its operations in economic environments with
different risks and returns, hence considering its operation from single geographical segment, the Company has not
recognised geographical segment as its secondary segment for reporting.

34 Employee benefits
A. Defined contribution plans
The Group makes Provident Fund, ESIC and Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund contributions to defined contribution
plans for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, the Group is required to contribute a specified percentage of the
payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Group recognised Rs. 3.43 crore (31 March 2021 : 2.99 crore) for Provident Fund
contributions, Rs. 0.74 crore (31 March 2021 : 0.66 crore) for ESIC contributionsand and Rs. 0.01 crore (31 March 2021
: 0.01 crore) for for Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the year (See note 29).
The contributions payable to these plans by the Group are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes. The Group does
not expect any further liability other than the specified contributions.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions
occuring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it
is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been
calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied
in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was not change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
35 Share-based payments
See accounting policy in Note 3 K
The employees were identified as those who had completed two years of service as on the date of sanction of the scheme,
subject to their continuous service till the vesting period.
During the earlier years, the Company had offered stock options to the eligible employees under “THYROCARE
EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2020” (ESOS2020), “THYROCARE EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2019”
(ESOS2019), “THYROCARE EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2018” (ESOS2018), “THYROCARE EMPLOYEES
STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2017” (ESOS2017), “THYROCARE EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2016” (ESOS2016)
and “THYROCARE EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2015” (ESOS2015) vide authorisation of shareholders in their
meetings held on 29 September 2020, 24 August 2019, 1 September 2018, 12 August 2017, 12 September 2016 and 26
September 2015 respectively. Under the respective scheme, the options may be exercised either fully or partially in four
equal instalments. The employees were identified as those who had completed certain years of service subject to their
continuous service till the vesting period.
Additionally, the Company formed a trust, 'Thyrocare Employee Stock Option Trust' wherein the shares to be issued under
these options were allotted to the Trust. The Trust holds these shares for the benefit of the employees and issues them to
the eligible employees as per the recommendation of the compensation committee. The identified employees are also
entitled to purchase additional shares proportionately from the shares of employees who are not desirous to purchase
the equity shares or who have left the organisation.
C. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options are:

The fair value of investment in mutual funds is included at the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and
assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
- The fair value of the quoted investments/units of mutual fund scheme are based on net asset value at the reporting date
as published by the mutual fund.
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments which are
measured at fair value:
31 March 2022 31 March 2021
Total Quoted prices in Level 3 Total Quoted prices in Level 3
active markets active markets
(Level 1) (Level 1)

Investment in Mutual funds (Refer Note 7) 125.21 125.21 - 104.49 104.49 -
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost is not materially different from the amortised cost.
Further, impact of time value of money is not significant for the financial instruments classified as current. Accordingly,
the fair value has not been disclosed seperately.
One percentage change in the unobservable inputs used in the fair valuation of level 3 assets does not have a significant
impact in the fair value of the financial instrument.
There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended 31 March 2022.
i. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and loans.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness
before the Group’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered. Sale limits are established for each customer
and reviewed periodically. Any sales exceeding those limits require approval from the management.
Security deposits
These represents security deposits given towards laboratories taken on lease under contractual arrangement EMD
deposit for participation in tender.
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a credit limit that is linked
to either category of the customer or the security deposits paid by the customer to avail the services.
In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are compared according to their credit characteristics, including
whether they are individuals or legal entities, their geographic locations, industry, trading history with the Group and
existence of previous financial difficulties, if any.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties
that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-
parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific
country risks.
The Group's exposure to credit risk for trade receivables by geographic region was as follows -
Particulars Carrying amount Carrying amount

Expected credit loss (ECL) assessment for individual customers as at 31 March 2022.
As per simplified approach the Group makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivable using a
provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payment and make appropriate provision at each reporting date.
At 31 March 2022, the ageing of trade receivables net of provision for doubtful debts was as follows.
Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in
full, based on historical payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.
