CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Shri Manoj Kumar

Chairman-cum-Managing Director

Dear Shareholders
I have great pleasure in extending very warm welcome to all of you to the 49th Annual General
Meeting of CMPDIL and present to you the Annual Report of your Company for the Financial Year
2023-24. The Report of Directors and the Audited Accounts of your Company for the period ended
31st March, 2024 together with the Report of the Statutory Auditors and the report & review of the
Comptroller and Auditor General of India have already been provided to all the shareholders of the
Company.

1.0 The Growth Profile:

CMPDIL was originally conceived and proposed in 1972 by a joint study group with the Polish
Experts as a comprehensive planning set-up under one roof for entire Indian mining industry.
st
Subsequently, CMPDIL was established on 1 November, 1975.

Your company has been rendering in-house consultancy services to CIL and its subsidiaries in the
areas of coal exploration, mine planning & design, environmental engineering, coal beneficiation &
utilization, allied engineering services, information and communication technology, human resource
development, remote sensing, field services, etc. Similar services are also being provided to ‘Other
than CIL’ clients. Planning and related services are also being provided to some extent to metal
mining sectors. Additionally, CMPDIL also renders services to Ministry of Coal and MoP&NG
pertaining to Non-CIL blocks, coal based non-conventional energy resources i.e. Coalbed Methane,
Shale Gas, Surface Coal Gasification, etc.

Over the years after formation of CMPDIL, the level of expertise of its planners and engineers was
raised through bilateral agreements with foreign institutions of advanced coal mining countries like
Giproshakht of erstwhile USSR, KOPEX of Poland and British Mining Consultants of the UK for
carrying out joint planning exercises for large opencast and underground projects. In addition to
enhancing the level of expertise of CMPDIL personnel, significant build-up of infrastructural facilities
was undertaken by establishing computer and laboratory facilities. All these measures ensured the
company a unique position in the mineral and mining sector as a total solution provider under one
roof. However, with the changes in the business environment worldwide, such bilateral arrangements
lost significance and momentum in 1990s.

6
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

Erosion of the company's strength in terms of expert manpower also started taking place in the 90s
due to superannuation of individuals, transfer to other CIL subsidiaries and non-induction of young
engineers over a considerable period. Moreover, changing business scenario and consequent
changes in opportunities in the mining sector within the country and abroad fueled exodus of
experts mainly after 2000 which continued for next 5-6 years. However, the company has been
highly committed in overall upgradation of its services and facilities to a level par excellence so as
to keep pace with the changing scenario of business environment in India as well as abroad. This
very assertion is well substantiated by the fact that the company has been actively involved in
enhancing the pace of exploration through deploying 2D/3D seismic survey technologies, high
productive drill machines as well as for the computerization of the work place to the extent possible
along with the use of latest software related to exploration and mining industry apart from addition
of equipment particularly related to environmental facilities, characterization of coal as well as
introduction of ISO standards.
Capacity of drilling, one of the core activities of CMPDIL, which enables projectisation of coal blocks
for future production requirement, was hovering around 2 lakh meter per annum (2.02 lakh meter in
2004-05 to 2.09 lakh meter in 2007-08) and sales was also around ₹150 crore to ₹200 crore (₹151
crore in 2004-05 and ₹196 crore in 2007-08). The contribution in drilling was from departmental
resources only. In the beginning of the XI Plan, it was conceived that CMPDIL would need
substantial expansion in its role, particularly in the field of exploration, in view of need for faster
proving of resources. Accordingly, apart from addition in the departmental drilling capacity,
enhancement by way of using the drilling capacities of other agencies including MECL was
emphasized and a part of the drilling activities was started being outsourced to private agencies.
Parallely, expansion in the coal core testing capability of CMPDIL was also carried out. Moreover,
capacities of other laboratories like Environment, CBM, Mining Technology, etc., were also
enhanced through upgradation with indigenous and imported equipment.

Subsequently, the administrative ministry i.e. Ministry of Coal also came up with a scheme for
enhancing the exploration capacity of CMPDIL where the total drilling capacity was to be raised to
a level of 15 lakh meter by 2015-16 including the departmental drilling capacity of 4 lakh meter.
CMPDIL achieved 11.26 lakh meter of drilling in 2016-17 with a growth of 13% over previous year,
13.66 lakh meter of drilling in 2017-18 with a growth of 21% over previous year, achieved 13.60 lakh
meter of drilling in 2018-19, 12.94 lakh meter in 2019-20, 12.48 lakh meter in 2020-21, 7.91 lakh
meter in 2021-22, and 6.85 lakh meter on 2022-23. The reduction of drilling achievement in
2021-22 and 2022-23 was mainly due to reduction in fund provided by Ministry of Coal, Govt. of
India under Central Sector Scheme (CSS) for exploration in Non-CIL and Promotional blocks as
well as lesser meterage availability in CIL blocks.
However, in October 2022, the EFC recommended for continuation of Central Sector Schemes for
exploration in Coal and Lignite during 15th Finance Commission Cycle i.e. upto 2025-26. As a result,
CMPDIL could achieve about 8.625 lakh meter drilling in 2023-24 registering a growth of about 26%
over previous years. The growth is likely to be sustained in coming years also.
Efforts are also being made for enhancing drilling through NMET (National Mineral Exploration Trust)
funding since 2021-22. CMPDIL had submitted 33 nos. of proposals for exploration (G2/G3/G4) in
coal blocks. 23 proposals were approved by NMET and GR for 8 blocks were submitted. Similarly,
CMPDIL also submitted 8 proposals to NMET for exploration in other minerals. Three proposals for
exploration in Bauxite were approved and work commenced in all three blocks and of these three
blocks, GRs were submitted for 2 blocks. Exploration in one project of Base Metal (Cu, Pb & Zn) has
also commenced. Further, 5 proposals for detailed exploration (G1 stage) for coal were also
submitted at MoC for onward submission and consideration of NMET.

Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

Adding on to it, the newly added accreditation of Hydrogeology Section of Exploration Division of
CMPDIL as GWCO (QCI-NABET) and Groundwater Professionals (CGWA, New Delhi) for
conducting Groundwater Modelling studies has enabled CMPDIL to submit 94 nos. of Comprehensive
Hydrogeological Reports and 83 nos. of Groundwater Modelling Reports for NoC from CGWA,
Ministry of Jal Shakti, New Delhi during FY 2023-24.

Parellely, CMPDIL has proactively resorted to diversification of its services and client base pertaining
to outside clientele (including Private companies, State Govt., Central Govt., MOC, Public Sector
Undertakings, Mine Developer and Operator, and Overseas Company) which has resulted in fetching
of Work Orders of more than ₹ 100 crore from outside CIL and subsidiary clients during FY 2023-24
which is the highest ever in a single Financial Year.

CMPDIL has delivered one of its international assignments and is actively seeking further jobs in
International arena with focus on African continent. For this active outreach efforts are being made.
Company has also decided to provide its expertise in non-coal mineral sector as well.

Collaboration with state governments and State PSUs have increased and visibility of CMPDIL is
increasing nationwide.

With the diversification, the distinctiveness of the company would be kept preserved for the interest
of the coal sector as a whole in foreseeable future.

Despite facing numerous challenges, during 2023-24 the departmental drilling

achievement is 105% of the target. These challenges included (1) Complete suspension
of drilling in the Talcher and Kosla Camps of the RI-VII area from April to November
2023, which resumed on December 1 st and December 5 th , 2023, respectively. (2)
Additionally, there was a complete stoppage of work for approximately 15 days in the
RI-III area due to political bandhs and local issues during the fiscal year. (3)
Furthermore, a flash flood in the RI-IV area resulted in the drowning of trucks and rigs,
causing a cumulative loss of about 2 days of drilling work in July 2023. Despite these
setbacks, the department's resilience and efforts led to surpassing the set target,
registering a growth of 3% and recording average operational drills productivity of about
609 m/drill/month.

Moreover, outsourcing of drilling activities also contributed significantly to the overall

performance. The overall outsourcing efforts surpassed expectations, achieving 127%
of the total outsourcing target. This demonstrates the agency's ability to effectively
leverage the departmental as well as external resources to bolster exploratory drilling
activities.

136
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

Under this project, a VOD measurement system was developed which can measure
velocity of detonation of in-the-hole explosive as well as cartridges, booster and other
accessories on the surface. The system uses fiber optic cables for high accuracy
measurement. The instrument cannot be initiated without the authorization of the user ,
hence authenticity of the measurement and security of the tested explosives and
accessories are guaranteed.

The device is developed indigenously keeping the spirit of “Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan”
or “Make in India” concept. The major benefit is that the hardware and software are
developed indigenously and any modification/customization can be done without
depending on the foreign company or agency. This will save tremendous amount of time
and money to the users of this device.

The device is developed based on the state-of-the art technology. It uses fiber optics
based measurement device with high end processor to process the signal form blasting
of explosive in production blast hole with authenticity of the user and data security. This
device may also attract users in abroad and hence it fits in “Make Local and Think
Global” vision of the Government.

University, USA.
Under this project, it has been found that in the Makum Coalfield, the estimated
resources for total Rare Earth Elements (TREEs) in the non-coal strata are 42,985 tones
with an average grade of 288.26 ppm at a cut-off of ≥ 250 ppm. For the coal seams, the
estimated resource is 1,450 tonnes with an average grade of 132.51 ppm at a cut-off ≥60
ppm. The total estimated resource for Lithium in both coal and non-coal overlying strata
amounts to 10,698 tones, exhibiting an average grade of 115.86 ppm with a cut-off value
of ≥ 100 ppm. Similarly, the estimated resource for Rubidium in the coal and non-coal
strata totals 15492 tones, with an average grade of 114.24 ppm at the same cut-off
threshold.

(viii) Indigenous development of early warning radar system for predicting failures/slope
instabilities in open cast mines.
This project was executed by SAMEER, Mumbai, CSRE, IIT, Bombay & CMPDIL, Ranchi.
Under this project, SAR hardware was successfully developed, integrated, calibrated,
and installed in the Dudhichua OCP of NCL. Such a system was designed, developed,
and operated for the first time in India. Ground-based interferometric synthetic aperture
radar (GB-InSAR) is comparable to various other commercially available GB-SAR in the
market. The indigenously developed GB-InSAR system has the capability to monitor
deformation from a remote location. It provides utility for generating alarms/alerts for
early warning of slope failures in mobile through SMS. This prototype system developed
is being deployed and verified in an actual operational environment and hence achieved
the TRL 7 level.
(ix) Indigenous Development of IoT Enabled Technology for Monitoring, Analysis and
Interpretation of Longwall Shield Pressures for Improving Safety and Productivity
This project was executed by CMPDIL, Ranchi, IIT, Kharagpur and Eastern Coalfields
Limited (ECL), Sanctoria.
Under this project, indigenously development of an intrinsically safe data acquisition
system (both hardware and software) was undertaken for collecting longwall pressure
data and shearer position data from Jhanjra longwall panel and transfer them to a
surface computer. The pressure data were analyzed using an indigenously developed
software named “Longwall Strata Control System (LSCS)” for identifying mining cycle
parameters and subsequently plot heat-maps of pressures with time and distance of the
face advancement. Using this software, periodic roof weighting phenomena can be
detected apart from identifying maintenance issues of shield legs such as leakage, low
setting pressure, faulty sensors, etc.

Report including Annexure to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind
AS 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. As the Other Information has not been provided to us, we
have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the Annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after the date of this
auditors' report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibility of Management for the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income and cash
flows and changes in equity 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 relevant rules issued thereunder. 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 implementation and maintenance of 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and
fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS 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 operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

K C TAK & Co.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 a 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 users taken on the basis of these
Ind AS financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS 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 from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(I) of the Act, 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.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, 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 uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Ind AS 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.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Ind AS financial statements that, individually
or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable
user of the Ind AS financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality
and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of
our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Ind AS financial
statements.

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

We also provide those charged 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 of most significance in the audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a 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.

Other Matter

a) It was observed that debtors include old outstanding balances of Rs. 65.71 Cr.(P. Y. Rs. 82.86 Cr.)
against CIL subsidiaries, pending for realization for more than 1 year. As per circular no CIL/DT/

The nodal agency for this project was CMPDIL. The project was started in September 2010 and
schedule to be completed by August 2012 but it was excessive delayed due to many reasons like
delay in - tender finalisation for plant installation, equipment procurement, field trial at rated
capacity (400 tph) due to unavailability of infrastructure etc. Trial test of the project was conducted
in 2016-17, but the result of the test was inconsistent even at lower capacity (150 tph). After
preparedness of BCCL to conduct trial at full load (400 tph), both agencies (AHPL and EEPL)
showed unwillingness to validate the operation at full load.

In view of these, Apex committee of R&D Board of CIL held on 25.11.2021 recommended to
foreclose the project and directed BCCL to own the plant. Thereafter, CMPDIL submitted project
closure report in March 2022. R&D Board of CIL in July 2022 finally accorded approval to close
the project and directed BCCL to take over the plant for future use. Till March 2024, CMPDIL had
made payment of Rs. 12.17 crore to both of the implementing agencies against approved cost of
Rs. 16.09 crore towards procurement of assets. CMPDIL booked this expenditure under Capital
Work -in- Progress (CWIP) under CIL R&D WIP under broad head Projects temporary Suspended.
In view of above that there has been a misclassification of assets, wrongly categorized as work-in
-progress (CWIP), resulting in an overstatement of both CWIP assets and the Capital Reserve by
Rs. 12.17 crore.
However, as per the information & explanations given by the management, the matter has been
under process of approval of CMPDIL Board as the management of CMPDIL presented a
proposal to the COFDs on March 5, 2024, seeking their approval. Following thorough review and
approval by the COFDs, it was recommended for presentation to the CMPDIL Board via the Audit
Committee for final approval. Subsequently, the proposal for write-off was deliberated upon during
the 121st Audit Committee meeting on March 14, 2024. After detailed deliberation, the Audit
Committee requested the management to submit a revised proposal with additional details and
any other pertinent information. In light of the aforementioned outcomes, the CMPDIL
management has decided to advance the matter for approval after incorporating the details
requested by the Audit Committee. Pending matter as above, the assets has been shown as
asset under capital-wip and not adjusted with capital reserve during the year.

c) Non-current Assets under Property, Plant & Equipment’s (PPE) includes non-current assets
purchased from S&T and R&D grant/fund received from GoI/CIL. As on 31.03.2024, residual value
(WDV) of 327 assets (Plant & Equipment’s) purchased from these funds was Rs. 21.05 crore. It
was noticed that life of 209 assets valuing Rs. 1.77 crore, out of 327 assets was beyond 15 years
and was ranged up to 49 years (since 1975).

As per para 16 of IND AS-16 states that the cost of an item of PPE shall be recognised as an
asset if, and only if: (a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the entity; and (b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Further, an item of PPE is
derecognised upon disposal or when non future economic benefits are expected from the
continued use of assets.

The significant Accounting Policy of the company considers maximum useful life of any assets
under Plant & Equipment assets as 15 years, therefore, the useful life of assets having 15 years
or more have already been expired and these assets requires to be derecognised charged to
Capital Reserve Account in which the funds/grants are maintained.

The CMPDIL management has, however, explained that the ownership of S&T and R&D Assets
rests with the Ministry of Coal & CIL. CMPDIL being an implementing agency cannot take survey-
off initiative on his own without prior permission of MoC/CIL and they have communicated the
matter to MoC and CIL, requesting them to initiate the necessary steps for asset disposal and
providing an update to CMPDIL. Despite reminders from CMPDIL management, as of now,
directives from MoC and CIL regarding the disposal of these assets are still pending. Given this
situation, CMPDIL management is awaiting further communication from MoC and CIL to proceed
with the necessary course of action regarding the disposal of assets procured under S&T projects
funded by MoC and R&D funded by CIL.

In view of the above, de-recognition of old assets whose useful life of assets having 15 years or
more related to S&T and R&D and adjustment in non- current assets & capital reserves for
Rs 1.77 crore, have not been done during the current financial year.

Directors, has been revised to incorporate the observations made by the Comptroller and Auditor

promotional drilling are being utilized and accounted for properly.”

Annexure – “C” referred to in paragraph 3(h) of “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” of
Independent Auditor’s Report on the Ind AS financial statements for the for the year ended March 31, 2024,
we report that;

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of
Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ‘Central Mine Planning & Design
Institute Limited’ (“the Company”) as of 31 March 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the 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, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and
errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the 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 over financial
reporting 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 over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal
financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls
over financial reporting, 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 Ind
AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
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 over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Ind AS financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
financial control over financial reporting 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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
over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control 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 controls system over financial reporting and such
internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2024, 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, further improvement is required in i) the documentation of Internal Financial Controls of the
Company in respect of its risk assessment process, risk analysis of different functional areas and
incorporating the process flows at departmental levels including risk mitigation in respect of insurance
coverage, ii) strengthening of the monitoring of controls in respect of misc. expenses, iii) confirmation/
reconciliation/adjustment of other financial assets, other current & non-current assets, trade payables &
receivables, other financial liabilities and other current and non-current liabilities.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of the above matters. For K C Tak & Co.

Companies Act, 1956 to provide consultancy support in coal and mineral exploration including
geological, geophysical, hydrological and environmental data generation to CIL and its Subsidiaries
and to other outside companies. CMPDIL is a schedule ' B' / Miniratna-Cat-I CPSE under the
administrative control of Ministry of Coal. CMPDIL is a 100% subsidiary of Coal India Ltd. (CIL).
Its Registered office is situated at Gondwana Place, Kanke Road, Ranchi - 834 031, Jharkhand,
India. The authorized and paid up share capital of the Company is Rs. 150 crore and Rs. 142.80
crore respectively as on March 31, 2024.
B. Statement of Compliance and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
i) Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting
Standards (hereinafter referred to as the “Ind AS”) as notified under the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) read with Section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013 (“the Act”). The Ind ASs issued, notified and made effective till the financial statements are
authorized and have been considered for the purpose of preparation of these financial statements.
The accounting policies are applied consistently except where a newly issued accounting standard
is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the
accounting policy hitherto in use.

Note 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation of Financial statements

The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual
basis except certain financial instruments that are measured in terms of relevant Ind AS at
amortized costs or fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Historical cost convention is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in
exchange for goods and services.
The functional currency of the Company is determined as the currency of the primary economic
environment in which it operates. The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees
and all values are rounded off to the ‘rupees in crore’ up to two decimal points.

2.2 Current and non-current Classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/ non-
current classification.
An asset is treated as current when:
(a) It expects to recognize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating
cycle;

259
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

(b) It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

I It expects to recognize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in Ind AS 7) unless the asset is
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is treated as current by the Company when:
(a) It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
(b) It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
I The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option
of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not
affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Having regard to the nature of the business being carried out by the Company, the
Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of
current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
2.3 Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is principally derived from the sale of related ancillary services, and products.
Revenue from sales of products is recognized when control of the products has transferred,
being when the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products
have been shipped or delivered to the specific location as the case may be, and the risks of
loss have been transferred in accordance with the sales contract. The amount of revenue
recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company is or expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and
provide for the variable consideration as per the sales contract, using the most likely
method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a
significant reversal will not occur. The amount of consideration does not contain a significant
financing component as payment terms are less than one year as per the sales contracts.
The company has a number of long-term contracts to supply products to customers in future
periods. Generally, revenue is recognized on an invoice basis, as each unit sold is a
separate performance obligation, and therefore the right to consideration from a customer
corresponds directly with our performance completed to date.
2.4 Grants from Government
Government Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company
will comply with the conditions attached to them and that there is reasonable certainty that
grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss on a systematic basis over
the periods in which the company recognises the related expenses or costs against which
the grants are intended to compensate.

260
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

Grants related to income (i.e. grant related to other than assets) are presented as part of
statement of profit or loss under the general heading ‘Other Income’.
A government grant/assistance that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or
losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the
company with no future related costs, is recognised in profit or loss of the period in which it
becomes receivable.
The Government grants or grants in the nature of promoter’s contribution is recognised
directly in “Capital Reserve” which forms part of the “Shareholders fund”.
2.5 Leases
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.
2.5.1 Company as a lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract.
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: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset
through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of
the asset.
At the commencement date, a lessee shall recognise a right-of-use asset at cost and
a lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date
for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset is of
low value.
Subsequently, right-of-use asset is measured using cost model whereas, the lease
liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease
liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and
remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the
future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing
rates of these leases. Lease liabilities are premeasured with a corresponding
adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if
whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU
asset are separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments are classified
as financing cash flows. Lease liability obligations is presented separately under the
head “Financial Liabilities”.
Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
unless the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset applying other
applicable standards.
Right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset, if the lease transfers
ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the
right-to-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option. Otherwise,

261
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

the lessee shall depreciate the right-to-use asset 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.
2.5.2 Company as a lessor
Assets are given on lease either as finance lease or operating lease

Finance Lease: A lease is classified as finance lease if it transfers substantially all the
risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Initially, asset held
under finance lease is recognised in Balance Sheet and presented as a receivable at
an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Finance income is recognised over
the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on
Company’s net investment in the lease.
Operating Lease: A lease which is not classified as a finance lease is an operating
lease. The Company recognises lease payments in case of assets given on operating
leases as income on a straight line basis.
2.6 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Depreciation
An item of PPE is recognized as an asset if 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.
PPE are initially measured at cost of acquisition/construction including decommissioning
or restoration cost wherever required. Cost of land includes expenditures which are
directly attributable to the acquisition of the land like, rehabilitation expenses,
resettlement cost and compensation in lieu of employment incurred for concerned
displaced persons etc.
After recognition, an item of all other Property, plant and equipment are carried at its
cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses under
Cost Model. The 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.
(b) Any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management.
(c) The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the
site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when the item
is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for
purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
(d) Interest on Borrowings utilized to finance the construction of qualifying assets are
capitalised as part of cost of the asset until such time that the asset is ready for its
intended use.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in
relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. However, significant
part(s) of an item of PPE having same useful life and depreciation method are grouped
together in determining the depreciation charge.

262
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

Costs of the day to-day servicing described as ‘repairs and maintenance’ are recognised
in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the same are incurred.
Subsequent cost of replacing parts which are significant in relation to the total cost of
an item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the carrying amount of the
item, if 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. The carrying amount
of those parts that are replaced is derecognised in accordance with the derecognition
policy mentioned below.
When major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of
the item of property, plant and equipment as a replacement if 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. Any remaining carrying amount of the cost of the
previous inspection (as distinct from physical parts) is derecognised.
An item of Property, plant or equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from the continuing use of assets. Any gain or loss
arising on such derecognition of an item of property plant and equipment is recognised
in profit and Loss.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is provided as per
cost model on straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:
Other Land : Life of the project or lease term
(incl. Leasehold Land) whichever is lower
Building (incl. Roads) : 3-60 years
Telecommunication : 3-9 years
Railway Sidings : 15 years
Plant and Equipment : 1-40 years
Computers and Laptops : 3 Years
Office equipment : 3-5 years
Furniture and Fixtures : 10 years
Vehicles : 8-10 years

Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives given
above best represent the period over which the management expects to use the asset.
Hence the useful lives of the assets may be different from the useful lives as prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
The estimated useful life of the assets is reviewed at the end of each financial year.
The residual value of Property, plant and equipment is considered as 5% of the original
cost of the asset except for some items of assets such as other land, site restoration
asset, other mining infrastructure, surveyed off assets.
Depreciation on the assets added / disposed of during the year is provided on pro-rata
basis with reference to the month of addition / disposal.

263
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

Value of “Other Land” includes land acquired under Coal Bearing Area (Acquisition &
Development) (CBA) Act, 1957, Land Acquisition Act, 1894, Right to Fair Compensation
and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLAAR)
Act, 2013, Long term transfer of government land etc., which are amortised on the basis
of the balance life of the project; and in case of Leasehold land such amortisation is
based on lease period or balance life of the project whichever is lower.
Assets that are fully depreciated, and retired from active use are disclosed separately
as surveyed off assets at its residual value under Property, Plant Equipment and are
tested for impairment.
Capital Expenses incurred by the company on the construction/development of certain
assets which are essential for production, supply of goods or for the access to any
existing Assets of the company are recognised as Enabling Assets under Property,
Plant and Equipment.
Transition to Ind AS
The company elected to continue with the carrying value as per the cost model (for all
of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the
date of transition to Ind Ass, measured as per the previous GAAP
2.7 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost
includes any directly attributable expenses necessary to make the assets ready for its
intended use. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated recognized and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the
asset when it is probable that future economic benefits deriving from the cost incurred
will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
An item of Intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from the
derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not
capitalised. Instead, the related expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may
be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible
asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation
period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss.

264
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment
at each reporting date.
Expenditure on research is charged to expenditure as and when incurred. Expenditure
on development is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the
product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits
are probable and the Company intends to & has sufficient resources to complete
development and to use or sell the asset.
2.8 Impairment of Assets (other than Financial Assets)
The Company assesses at the end of 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. An asset’s recoverable amount is the
higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs
of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not
generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or
Company’s of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Company considers individual mines
as separate cash generating units for the purpose of a test of impairment.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the
impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.9 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and
a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
2.9.1 Financial assets

2.9.1 Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value, in the case of financial assets
not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, plus transaction costs that are
attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial
assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or
convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date,
i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. However, trade
receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at
transaction price.
2.9.2 Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
• Debt instruments at amortised cost
• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
• Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL)
• Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

265
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

2.9.2.1 Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of
similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the balance sheet)
when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a
third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has
entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained
the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially
all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company
continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing
involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the
rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvement that takes
the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original
carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company
could be required to repay.
2.9.2.2 Impairment of financial assets (other than fair value)
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit
risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans,
debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
c) Lease receivables under Ind AS 116
d) Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that
result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and
• All lease receivables resulting from transactions within the scope of Ind AS 116

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in
credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each
reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

2.9.3 Financial liabilities

2.9.3.1 Initial recognition and measurement

The Company financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings
including bank overdrafts.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and
borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
2.9.3.2 Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
2.9.3.3 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for
trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the
purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial
instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in
hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
2.9.3.4 Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, these are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the
liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest
rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
2.9.3.5 Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a
financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party
and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed,
shall be recognised in profit or loss.
2.9.4 Reclassification of financial assets

The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition.
After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity
instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a
reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those
assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company senior
management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal

267
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

changes which are significant to the Company operations. Such changes are evident to
external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or
ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies
financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date
which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business
model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including
impairment gains or losses) or interest.

The following table shows various reclassification and how they are accounted for

Original Revised Accounting treatment

classification classification
Amortised cost FVTPL Fair value is measured at reclassification date.
Difference between previous amortized cost and fair
value is recognised in P&L.
FVTPL Amortised Cost Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new
gross carrying amount. EIR is calculated based on
the new gross carrying amount.
Amortised cost FVTOCI Fair value is measured at reclassification date.
Difference between previous amortised cost and fair
value is recognised in OCI. No change in EIR due to
reclassification.

FVTOCI Amortised cost Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new
a m o r t i s e d c o s t c a r r y i n g a m o u n t . H o w e v e r,
cumulative gain or loss in OCI is adjusted against fair
value. Consequently, the asset is measured as if it
had always been measured at amortised cost.
FVTPL FVTOCI Fair value at reclassification date becomes its new
carrying amount. No other adjustment is required.
FVTOCI FVTPL Assets continue to be measured at fair value.
Cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in
OCI is reclassified to P&L at the reclassification
date.

2.9.5 Of fsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
consolidated balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and
settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.9.6 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
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 under current market
conditions.

268
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels
depending on the ability to observe inputs employed for such measurement:
(a) Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
(b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable either
directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.
I Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair
values. This includes a finance team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant
fair value measurements who regularly review significant unobservable inputs, valuation
adjustments and fair value hierarchy under which the valuation should be classified.
2.9.7 Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-
term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above,
net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the company’s
cash management.
2.10 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit
(tax loss) for a period. Taxable profit differs from “profit before income tax” as reported in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of
income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items
that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using
tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred
tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it
is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business
combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit
nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the company is able to control the
reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not
reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary
differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent
that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits
of the temporary differences.

269
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

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 asset to be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are
reassessed at the end of each reporting year and are recognised to the extent that it has
become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in
the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively 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.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that
are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current
and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity
respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business
combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when the deferred income tax assets
and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable
entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net
basis.
2.11 Employee Benefits
2.11.1 Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are
expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period
in which the employees render the related service.
All short term employee benefits are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered
by employees.
2.11.2 Post-employment benefits and other long term employee benefits
2.11.2.1 Defined contributions plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the company pays
fixed contribution into fund maintained by a separate and the company will have no legal or
constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined
contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and
loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
2.11.2.2 Defined benefits plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.
Gratuity, leave encashment are defined benefit plans (with ceilings on benefits). The company’s
net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return of their service in the current and prior periods.
The benefit is discounted to determine its present value and reduced by the fair value of plan

270
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

assets, if any. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government
securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the
company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are
expected to be paid.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.
Gratuity, leave encashment are defined benefit plans (with ceilings on benefits). The company’s
net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return of their service in the current and prior periods.
The benefit is discounted to determine its present value and reduced by the fair value of plan
assets, if any. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government
securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the
company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are
expected to be paid.
The application of actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about the discount rate,
expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates etc. Due to the long
term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to uncertainties. The calculation is
performed at each balance sheet by an actuary using the projected unit credit method. When
the calculation results in the benefit to the company, the recognised asset is limited to the
present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan
or reduction in future contributions to the plan. An economic benefit is available to the company
if it is realisable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of plan liabilities.
Re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gain and losses
considering the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effects of the assets ceiling (if
any, excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the other comprehensive income. 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 and loss.
When the benefits of the plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past
service by employees is recognised as an expense immediately in the statement of profit and
loss.

2.11.3 Other Long Term Employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are all employee benefits other than short-term employee
benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefits.
Other long-term employee benefits include items which are not expected to be settled wholly
before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render
the related service.
For other long-term employee benefits, net total of the following amounts is recognized in the
statement of profit or loss:
(a)Service cost

271
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

(b)Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)

(c)Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset)
2.12 Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the reported currency of the company
using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies outstanding at the end of the reporting period are translated
at the exchange rates prevailing as at the end of reporting period. Exchange differences arising
on the settlement of monetary assets and liabilities or on translating monetary assets and
liabilities at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during
the period or in previous financial statements are recognised in statement of profit and loss in
the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are valued at the exchange rates prevailing
on the date of transactions.
2.13 Inventories
2.13.1 Stores, Spares and Other Inventories
The Stock of stores and spares including other inventories are valued at cost calculated on the
basis of the weighted average method.
Provisions are made at the rate of 100% for unserviceable, damaged and obsolete stores and
spares and at the rate of 50% for stores & spares not moved for 5 years.

2.14 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be
made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of
the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
All provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount
cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the
probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence
will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain
events not wholly within the control of the company, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities
unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial
statements when inflow of economic benefits is probable on the basis of the judgment of
management. These are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately
reflected in the financial statements.

272
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

2.15 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per shares is
computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per shares and also the weighted average number of
equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares.
2.16 Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to
make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of financial statements and the amount of revenue and expenses during
the reported period. Application of accounting policies involving complex and subjective
judgements and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed.
Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimate are recognised in the period in which the estimates are
revised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
2.16.1 Judgements
In the process of applying the Company accounting policies, management has made the
following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements:

2.16.2 Formulation of Accounting Policies

Accounting policies are formulated in a manner that results in financial statements containing
relevant and reliable information about the transactions, other events and conditions to which
they apply. Those policies need not be applied when the effect of applying them is immaterial.
In the absence of an Ind AS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition,
management has used its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that
results in information that is:
a) relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users and
b) reliable in that financial statements and :
(i) represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity;
(ii) reflect the economic substance of transactions, other events and conditions, and not
merely the legal form; (iii) are neutral, i.e. free from bias; (iv) are prudent; and (v) are
complete in all material respects on a consistent basis
In making the judgement management refers to, and considers the applicability of, the
following sources in descending order:
(a) The requirements in Ind Ass dealing with similar and related issues; and
(b) The definitions, recognition criteria and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities,
income and expenses in the Framework.

273
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

In making the judgement, management considers the most recent pronouncements

of the International Accounting Standards Board and in the absence thereof those of
the other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop
accounting standards, other accounting literature and accepted industry practices, to
the extent that these do not conflict with the Indian accounting Standard and
accounting policies and practices as stated in above paragraph.
The Company operates in the mining sector (a sector where the exploration,
evaluation, and development production phases are based on the varied topographical
and geo-mining terrain spread over the lease period running over decades and prone
to constant changes), the accounting policies whereof have evolved based on specific
industry practices supported by research committees and approved by the various
regulators owing to its consistent application over the last several decades. In the
absence of specific accounting literature, guidance and standards in certain specific
areas which are in the process of evolution. The Company continues to strive to
develop accounting policies in line with the development of accounting literature and
any development therein shall be accounted for prospectively as per the procedure
laid down above more particularly in Ind AS 8.
2.16.3 Materiality
Ind AS applies to items which are material. Management uses judgement in deciding
whether individual items or group of item are material in the financial statements.
Materiality is judged by reference to the nature or magnitude or both of the items. The
deciding factor is whether omitting or misstating or obscuring an information could
individually or in combination with other information influence decisions that primary
users make on the basis of the financial statements. Management also uses judgement
of materiality for determining the compliance requirement of the Ind AS. Further, the
Company may also be required to present separately immaterial items when required
by law.
With effect from 01.04.2019 Errors/omissions discovered in the current year relating to
prior periods are treated as immaterial and adjusted during the current year, if all such
errors and omissions in aggregate does not exceed 1% of total revenue from Operation
(net of statutory levies) as per the last audited financial statement of the company.
2.16.3.1 Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on
parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing
circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due
to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the
Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The estimates, judgements and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.

274
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to

accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and
future periods affected.
The application of accounting policies that require critical judgements and accounting
estimates involving complex and subjective judgements and the use of assumptions in
these standalone financial statements have been disclosed here in below:
2.16.3.2 Impairment of non-financial assets
There is an indication of impairment if, the carrying value of an asset or cash generating
unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of
disposal and its value in use. Company considers individual mines as separate cash
generating units for the purpose of test of impairment. The value in use calculation is
based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five
years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed
to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the
CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for
the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used
for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to other mining
infrastructures. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for
the different CGUs, are disclosed and further explained in respective notes.
2.16.3.3 Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable
that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant
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.
2.16.3.4 Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the
present value of the obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial
valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments
in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates.
Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions
are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the
discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India,
the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies
consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables of the country. Those
mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes.
2.16.3.5 Intangible asset under development
The Company capitalises intangible asset under development for a project in
accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on
management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed,
usually when a project report is formulated and approved.

Level 1: hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes
Mutual fund which is valued using closing Net Asset Value (NAV) as at the reporting date.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined
using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely
as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair
value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

277
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the
instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for investments, security deposits and
other liabilities included in level 3.

Provision for expected credit loss: The Group provides for expected credit risk loss for doubtful/
credit impaired assets, by lifetime expected credit losses (Simplified approach). Refer Note - 4.3,
Trade Receivables

(c) Valuation technique used in determining fair value

Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
The use of quoted market prices (NAV) of instruments in respect of investment in Mutual
Funds.
(d) Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs
At present there are no fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.
(e) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, short term deposits, cash and cash
equivalents, trade payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due
to their short-term nature.
The Company considers that the Security Deposits does not include a significant
financing component. The security deposits coincide with the company’s
performance and the contract requires amounts to be retained for reasons other
than the provision of finance. The withholding of a specified percentage of each
milestone payment is intended to protect the interest of the company, from the
contractor failing to adequately complete its obligations under the contract.
Accordingly, transaction cost of Security deposit is considered as fair value at
initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Significant estimates : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded
in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses
its judgment to select a method and makes suitable assumptions at the end of
each reporting period.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management objectives and policies:

The Company principal financial liabilities, comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose
of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company operations and to provide guarantees to
support its operations. The Company principal financial assets include loans, trade and other
receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that is derived directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company senior
management oversees the management of these risks. The Company senior management is
supported by a risk committee that advises, inter alia, on financial risks and the appropriate
financial risk governance framework for the Company. The risk committee provides assurance to

278
Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Limited

the Board of Directors that the Company financial risk activities are governed by appropriate
policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in
accordance with the Company policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and
agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages
the risk and the impact of hedge accounting in the financial statements

The Company risk management is carried out by the board of directors as per DPE guidelines issued
by Government of India. The board provides written principals for overall risk management as well as
policies covering investment of excess liquidity.
A. Credit Risk: Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults on contractual obligations resulting
in financial loss to the company.
Provision for Expected credit loss: Company provides for expected credit risk loss for
doubtful/ credit impaired assets, by lifetime expected credit losses (Simplified approach). Refer
Note - 13, Trade Receivables.
Significant estimates and judgments Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions
about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these
assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company
past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each
reporting period.
B. Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities
and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet
obligations when due. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, group treasury
maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors forecasts of the Company liquidity position (comprising the undrawn
borrowing facilities) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

279
Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

C. Market risk
a) Foreign currency risk

The company provides benefit of total Earned Leave (EL) of 30 days and Half Paid Leave (HPL) of
20 days to the executives of the company, accrued and credited proportionately on half yearly basis

that have the same pattern
of transfer to the customer.
Step 3 : Determining the
transaction price

The Company consider the

terms of the contract and
its customary business
practices to determine the
transaction price.
The transaction price is the
amount of consideration to
which the company expects
to be entitled in exchange
for transferring promised
goods or services to a
c u s t o m e r, e x c l u d i n g
amounts collected on
behalf of third parties.
The consideration
promised in a contract
with a customer may
include fixed amounts,
variable amounts, or both.

Sl IMPACT/
No OLD POLICY NEW POLICY CHANGE
REMARKS

When determining the

transaction price, a
Company consider the
effects of all of the following:
-Variable consideration;
-Constraining estimates of
variable consideration;
-The existence of significant
financing component;
-Non – cash consideration;
-Consideration payable to
a customer.
An amount of consideration
can vary because of
discounts, rebates, refunds,
credits, price concessions,
incentives, performance
bonuses, or other similar
items. The promised
consideration can also
vary if the company’s
entitlement to the
consideration is contingent
on the occurrence or non-
occurrence of a future
event.
In some contracts, penalties
are specified. In such cases,
penalties are accounted for
as per the substance of the
contract. Where the penalty
is inherent in determination
of transaction price, it forms
part of variable consideration.
The Company includes in
the transaction price some
or all of an amount of
estimated variable
consideration only to the
extent that it is highly
probable that a significant
reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue
recognized will not occur
when the uncertainty
associated with the variable
consideration is
subsequently resolved.

Sl IMPACT/

REMARKS

The Company does not

adjust the promised amount
of consideration for the
effects of a significant
financing component if it
expects, at contract
inception, that the period
between when it transfers
a promised goods or
service to a customer and
when the customer pays for
that good or service will be
one year or less.

The Company recognizes

a refund liability if the
Company receives
consideration from a
customer and expects to
refund some or all of that
consideration to the
customer. A refund liability
is measured at the amount
of consideration received
(or receivable) for which the
company does not expect
to be entitled (i.e. amounts
not included in the
transaction price). The
refund liability (and
corresponding change in
the transaction price and,
therefore, the contract
liability) is updated at the
end of each reporting
period for changes in
circumstances.
After contract inception, the
transaction price can
change for various reasons,
including the resolution of
uncertain events or other
changes in circumstances
that change the amount of
consideration to which the
Company expects to be
entitled in exchange for the
promised goods or services.

Step 4 : Allocating the

transaction price:

The objective when

allocating the transaction
price is for the Company to
allocate the transaction
price to each performance
obligation (or distinct good
or service) in an amount
that depicts the amount of
consideration to which the
Company expects to be
entitled in exchange for
transferring the promised
goods or services to the
customer.
To allocate the transaction
price to each performance
obligation on a relative
stand-alone selling price
basis, the Company
determines the stand-alone
selling price at contract
inception of the distinct good
or service underlying each
performance obligation in
the contract and allocate
the transaction price in
proportion to those stand-
alone selling prices.

Step 5 : Recognizing
revenue:
The Company recognizes
revenue when (or as) the
Company satisfies a
performance obligation by
transferring a promised
good or service to a
customer. A good or service
is transferred when (or as)
the customer obtains control
of that good or service.

The Company transfers

control of a good or service
over time and, therefore,
satisfies a performance
obligation and recognizes

c) t h e C o m p a n y ’ s

For each performance

obligation satisfied over time,
the Company recognizes
revenue over time by
measuring the progress
towards complete satisfaction
of that performance
obligation.

The Company applies a

single method of measuring
progress for each
performance obligation
satisfied over time and the
Company applies that
method consistently to
similar performance
obligations and in similar
circumstances. At the end
of each reporting period,
the Company re-measure
