2.32.3 Accounting policies, change in Accounting Estimates

and Errors ( As per Ind-AS 8):
I. Revision to existing Accounting Policies
a. Change Proposed in the existing Accounting Policy on ‘Revenue Recognition’ Para
1(1.2)
(xi)(b): In case of spot auction under electronic mode, the sale is recognized on conclusion of
the auction and receipt of money as against the earlier practice of recognizing sales on conclusion of
auction.
The said revision has an impact of reduction in turnover of `8.79 crore along with the reduction
in the profit to the extent of `5.96 crore.
b. Treatment of Enabling Assets: Under PPE 1.2(v)
(b)
“Expenditure incurred on any facility, the ownership of which is not vested with the company, but the
incurrence of which is essential in bringing an asset/projects of NMDC to the location and condition
necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management, shall be capitalized as
a part of the overall cost of the said asset/project. Else the
same shall be charged to revenue.”
No impact in the financials as the treatment of enabling assets as mentioned in the policy
is already in practice. The same is added to Accounting Policy to bring in clarity.

c. Prepaid Expenses: 1.2(xix)

Expenses are accounted under prepaid expenses only when the amount relating to the unexpired period
exceeds rupees Two crore in each case.

The addition of the said policy has resulted in increase in the current year expenses by `8.16
crores with a corresponding decrease in profit.
d. Restatement of earliest prior period financialson material error/omissions 1.2 (xx)

and liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented if the amount in each case of earlier
period income/expenses exceeds 1.0% of the previous year turnover of the company. This policy is
introduced for more clarity on recognising material prior period Errors. During the current year there is
nil impact in the financials as there are no material prior period errors and omissions recognised.

petitions before Hon’ Supreme Court seeking transfer of the cases with Chattisgarh High Court &
Madhya Pradesh High Court. Hon’ble Supreme Court has not admitted the transfer petition with respect

the attention of the High Court to the pendency of similar matter(s) before the Hon Supreme Court.

Ist para undi
The hon’ble Supreme Court of India has in its judgement dated 13.10.2017 clarified that “DMF is
required to be made by the holder of a mining lease or a prospecting licence-cummining lease in the
case of minerals other than coal, lignite and sand for stowing with effect from 17th September, 2015
when the rates were prescribed by the Central Government” Subsequent to this, Company has
withdrawn the excess provision made towards DMF for the period from 12th Jan 2015 to 16th
September 2015 and returned/adjusted the amount collected from customers. On account of this a net
amount of `144.30 Croreis shown as Exceptional item in Profit and Loss Account. With regard to NMET,
Company has made the payment w.e.f 12.01.2015. Moreover, the judgement of Supreme court dated
13.10.2017 is silent hence status quo is maintained. Since the rates for NMET were declared in the
MMDR Act itself and Supreme court judgement is silent on its applicability, payment made by the
Company with effect from 12.01.2015 is deemed to be in order.

Committee (MC), GST invoices were raised by Donimalai unit on MC as per the requirement of the GST
