4 Financial derivatives hedging transactions
Pursuant to the announcement issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India datedMarch 29, 2008
in respect of forward exchange contracts and currency and interest rate swaps, the Company has applied the
Hedge Accounting principles set out in the Accounting Standard (AS) 30 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement’. Accordingly, range forward contracts are marked to market and the loss aggregating
`
5.09 crores (Previous year
`
15.03 crores) arising consequently on contracts that were designated and
effective as hedges of future cash flows has been recognized directly in the hedging reserve account. Actual
gain or loss on exercise of these range forward contracts or any part thereof is recognised in the Profit & Loss
account. Hedge accounting will be discontinued if the hedging instrument is sold, terminated or no longer
qualifies for hedge accounting.
