3. The Company, in March 2004, withdrew its application for exemption
under Para 39 of the Employees'' Pension Scheme, 1995 (EPS, 95) pending
with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC) at Rourkela.
Subsequent thereto, from April 2004, the Company has been depositing
contributions under EPS, 95 with the RPFC. A sum ofRs. 81.72 has been
paid in earlier years to RPFC from the Company''s Superannuation Fund
towards contribution (as estimated by the Company) under EPS, 95 for
the period 16th November 1995 to 31 st March 2004 in respect of
employees continuing in the Company''s employment as on 31 st March
2004. RPFC has however demanded contribution also for persons who
ceased to be employees of the Company in said period, which has been
disputed by the Company.
RPFC had raised a demand ofRs. 27.26 in March 1998 on the Company towards
contribution under EPS, 95 for the period 16th November 1995 to 31 st
January 1998, which was stayed by the Hon''ble Orissa High Court in a
petition filed before them by the Company. The matter was disposed off
by the Hon''ble High Court vide it''s Order dated 3rd March 2009 whereby
liberty was granted to RPFC to take steps for recovery of amount due,
if the same was found not deposited, no communication has since been
received from RPFC.
4. Disclosure in respect of Employee Benefits in keeping with
Accounting Standard 15.
A. In keeping with the Guidance on implementing Accounting Standard
(AS) 15 on Employee Benefits issued by the Accounting Standards Board
of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ASB Guidance),
employer established provident fund trusts are treated as Defined
Benefit Plan since the Company is obligated to meet interest shortfall,
if any, with respect to covered employees. However, there is no such
interest shortfall at the year end.
According to the actuary, actuarial valuation cannot be applied to
reliably measure provident fund liabilities in absence of guidance from
the Actuarial Society of India. Accordingly, the Company is currently
not in a position to provide other related disclosures as required by
the aforesaid AS 15 read with the ASB Guidance. During the year, the
Company has contributed Rs. 35.57 (previous year - Rs. 27.67) to the
Provident Fund.
B. Gratuity (Funded)
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan
covering eligible employees. As per the Scheme, the Gratuity Trust fund
makes payments to vested employees on retirement, death, incapacitation
or termination of employment. For employees joining after 1 st April
2003, the amount is based on the respective employee''s eligible salary
(half month''s salary) depending on the tenure of the service subject to
a maximum of Rs. 10 as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. For
employees joining before 1 st April 2003, the amount is calculated
similarly as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (with the cap of Rs.
10) or the Company''s scheme, whichever is higher. Vesting occurs on
completion of five years of service. Liabilities with regard to the
Gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation as set out in Note
1 (j) (vi) above, based on which the Company makes contribution to the
fund. The most recent actuarial valuation of the fund was carried out
as at 31 st March 2011.
C. In keeping with the Company''s Superannuation Scheme (applicable to
employees joined before 31st March 2004), employees are entitled to
superannuation benefit on retirement/death/incapacitation/termination.
Superannuation Scheme was amended from Defined Benefit Plan to Defined
Contribution Plan effective 1 st April 2004 and the benefits under the
Defined Benefit Plan were frozen as on 31 st March 2004. Necessary
formalities/approvals have been complied with/obtained. Also refer
Notes 1 (j) (iv) and (vi) for accounting policy relating to
superannuation.
D. Leave Encashment (Unfunded)
The Company provides for accumulated leave benefit for eligible
employees (i.e. workmen) at the time of retirement, death,
incapacitation or termination of employment, subject to a maximum of
one hundred and twenty days based on the last drawn salary. Liabilities
are determined by actuarial valuation as set out in Note 1 (j) (vii)
above.
The basis used to determine overall expected return on assets and the
major categories of Plan Assets are as follows : The major portion of
the assets is invested in units of Insurers and Government Bonds. Based
on the asset allocation and prevailing yield rates on these asset
classes, the long term estimate of the expected rate of return on the
fund have been arrived at. Assumed rate of return on assets is expected
to vary from year to year reflecting the returns on matching Government
Bonds.
The estimate of future salary increases takes into account inflation,
seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
4.2 The Company has recognised, in the Profit and Loss Account, an
amount of Rs. 131.76 (previous year - Rs. 96.01) as expenses under defined
contribution plans.
