Reliance Inf S Regulatory News (RIFS)

Notes:

1. a) The Company has opted for amortising the foreign exchange fluctuation gain / (loss) on the long term foreign currency monetary items over the balance life of depreciable assets / long term monetary items, as the case may be. Accordingly, the Company has carried forward unamortised portion of net gain of Rs 271.88 crore to "Foreign Currency Monetary Items Translation Difference Account" as on December 31, 2015.

b) Pursuant to the option exercised under the Scheme of Amalgamation of Reliance Infraprojects Ltd. with the Company sanctioned by the Hon'ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay, net foreign exchange loss of Rs 103.30 crore and Rs 141.80 crore (net off of foreign exchange loss of Rs 73.30 crore and Rs 216.81 crore attributable to finance cost) for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2015 has been debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss and an equivalent amount has been withdrawn from General Reserve. Had such withdrawal not been done, the Profit before tax for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2015 would have been lower by Rs 103.29 crore and Rs 141.80 crore respectively and General Reserve would have been higher by an equivalent amount. The treatment prescribed under the Scheme overrides the relevant provisions of Accounting Standard 5 (AS-5) 'Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies'. This matter has been referred to by the Auditors in their report.
