resumption of the work and based on that associate company have prepared nancial statement on the
going concern basis although there is a temporary suspension of the project.The Management of

provision of GST Act.

Market Risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash ows of a nancial instrument will
uctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of
changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with oating
interest rates.

50. Fair Values:

The management assesses that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade
payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the nancial assets and
liabilities are included at the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Long-term xed-rate receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Corporation based on
parameters such as interest rates, and individual creditworthiness of the customer and the
risk characteristics of the nanced project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are
considered for the expected credit losses of these receivables.

REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS

Accounting Policy
The Company derives revenues primarily from passenger and Freight operations
business comprising Mail/Express/Passenger and freight Trains including Roll-On-
Roll-Off Services.

Under Cost Plus Contract, Revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost-plus
proportionate margin as agreed with Principal Customer.

Under Fixed Price Contract Revenue is recognized by adding the aggregate cost and
proportionate margin using the percentage completion method. Percentage of
completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred to date to the total
estimated contract cost.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of services to customers in an amount
that reects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services.

Disclosures:

Contract Balances (mentioned Table A)

Company's right could not have been established. No such balances have been
accounted for in the books of the Corporation for the current Financial year.

231

Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements as at 31st March, 2020
Trade receivables (mentioned Table B)
A receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional, and the corporation has accounted the same in line with the provisions
of Ind AS 115.

Contract Assets &Liabilities (mentioned in Table below)
A Contract Assets is the performance by transferring goods and services to a
customer, before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, the
entity shall present the contract as a contract asset, excluding any amount presented
as a receivables.

A Contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for
which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is
due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company
transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the
payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are
recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

There is no signicant changes in contract asset and contract liability.

Performance Obligation:

The company considers timeline indicators mentioned in the contract for
performance obligation. Transfer of signicant risks and rewards to the customer,
acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc are indicators of discharge of service
obligations. The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the
performance obligation is satised at a point in time or over a period. Depending on
the terms of contract, controls on the asset or existence of enforceable right to
payment is established against performance in full or part discharge of obligation.
KRCL is engaged in execution of projects either as deposit work or as a project
management consultant or on cost plus contract basis.

Typically, KRCL receives advance consideration on some of the contracts and some
are executed based on the dened payment term in the contract. The consideration
on contracts can be Cost Plus or Fixed, however, unconstrained by any uncertainty.

KRCL is also involved in execution of contract where- in it acts as an intermediary.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations.

The revenue recognized corresponds to the value transferred to customer.

performance obligations as on 31st Mar 2020 was ` 3225.00 Crores (` 4962.00 Crore)

disclosed contracts with expected duration of one year or less.

in an amount that reects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in
exchange for those deliverables. Revenue is recognized based on output measured
by Aggregate Cost-plus margin.

completion method ('POC method') of accounting with contract costs incurred
determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.

obligations Contract assets are recognized when there is excess of revenue earned
over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classied as unbilled receivables (only
act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only
passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.
Unearned and deferred revenue ("contract liability") is recognized when there is billing
in excess of revenues.

Note on the effect of Covid- 19 on KRCL

The outbreak of Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic in India has resulted in a
nationwide lock down and travel restriction by the Government of India which has
signicantly impacted business operation of the Corporation. Passenger trains were
cancelled since 22nd March 2020 across entire Indian Railway System. KRCL lost
Trafc revenue to the tune of Approximately ` 70 crore in March'2020.KRCL has
incurred expenditure of ` 22.43 lakhs towards Covid-19 preventive health measures.
However, in May/June '20 KRCL operated Shramik special trains from Karnataka, Goa
and Maharashtra to various parts of the country following COVID-19 protocol. A total
of 80 such special trains were run from Konkan Railway.

From 12th May' 20 and 1st June' 20, Rajdhani Class Trains and few special trains
started operations. The Passenger trafc has not been fully restored till now. As a
result, there is reduction in passenger revenue in the F. Y. 2020-2021. Moreover,
` 56.79 lakhs were further spent towards Covid-19 preventive health measures.

234

Notes forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements as at 31st March, 2020

In normal course of operation, on an average every day around 50 (fty) passenger
trains and 12 (twelve) to 13 (thirteen) Goods trains are operated on the Konkan
Railway route which includes originating, terminating and crossing. During lock down
due to Covid -19 Goods train movement on Konkan Railway zone has also came
down since other zonal railways has used their unutilized capacities for transportation
of Goods train rather than diversion over KRCL route.

To the Members of Konkan Railway Corporation Limited
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated nancial statements of Konkan Railway Corporation
Limited (“the Holding Company”) and its associate company, which comprise the
consolidated balance sheet as at 31st March 2020, and the consolidated statement of prot
and loss (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of changes in
equity and consolidated statement of cash ows for the year then ended and notes to the
consolidated nancial statements, including a summary of signicant accounting policies
and other explanatory information. (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated nancial
statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to
us, the aforesaid consolidated nancial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act
read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (“Ind
AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state
of affairs of the Holding Company as at March 31, 2020, and consolidated loss (including
other comprehensive income), consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash
ows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated nancial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specied under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Holding Company and its associate company in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
consolidated nancial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,

236

and we have fullled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
consolidated nancial statement.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 27.1 to the consolidated nancial statements which indicates
that during year, pending nancial closure, the project was on temporary hold and
Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) unilaterally invoked the Performance Bank
Guarantee (PBG) on 16.08.2019 without any prior intimation/notice of the intent to invoke
the PBG. The matter is in discussion with various stakeholders for resolving the issues that
concern the project and getting back the PBG amount from KRCL.

Considering the temporary suspension of the project and alternative linkage project
possibilities the present nancial statements of the Associate Company is prepared on
going concern basis till nal decision about the project by the Shareholders as well as the
Railway authorities.

Emphasis of Matter
A) We draw attention to Note No. 13.2 of the consolidated nancial statements related to

amount due from Udupi Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) of Rs. 12.08 Crores for Railway
siding work wherein the amount is outstanding since long with no development. After
entering in to contract with Corporation, the UPCL had appointed LANCO Infratech
Ltd. as their EPC Contractor / agent to deal with the holding company in relation with
this work whereby all the bills / claim are raised on and settled by them. However the
LANCO Infratech Ltd. has gone into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Proceedings
under National Company Law Tribunal, due to which recovery of amount due from
LANCO Infratech Ltd. is extremely remote. The company has led the Civil Recovery
Suit against UPCL (Principal Employer) and LANCO (its agent).

The Management of the Company are optimistic for recovery of amount due from
UPCL.

B) We draw attention to Note No. 53 of the consolidated nancial statements related to
effect of Covid- 19 on the Company's consolidated nancial statement due to
outbreak of Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic in India which has signicantly
impacted operation of the Corporation. Passenger trains were cancelled since 22nd
March 2020 across entire Indian Railway System.

As per the Board note, the company has lost Trafc revenue to the tune of
Approximately Rs 70 crore in March'2020. Further during April'20 to July'20, the travel
restrictions continued with partial relief which also severely impacted the nancial

237

position during that period and consequently may have nancial impact during
Financial Year 2020-21. However considering the partial relief in travel restrictions,
running of special trains and earnings through other segment; projects, the Company
expects to sustain and overcome the impact and recover from the present slowdown.
In view of this, the consolidated nancial statement has been prepared on Going
Concern Basis.
C) We draw attention to Note No. 46 of the consolidated nancial statements, that the
Balances of the Receivable and Payable accounts of Major Railways, Suppliers,
Contractors etc. are subject to conrmation / adjustments / reconciliations. The
Company will review of such balances for carrying out necessary adjustments in the
subsequent years.

D) We also draw attention to Note No. 8, 16, 17 & 43.3 of the consolidated nancial
statements related to loan given to Konkan Railway Welfare Organisation (KRWO)
wherein the principal and interest is overdue to the tune of Rs. 26.15 Crores.
Furthermore there is disparity in appropriation / adjustment of part amount received of
Rs. 2.61 Crores whereby the company has appropriated the amount received towards
