Mahindra & Mahindra Limited | Integrated Annual Report 2025-26

Integrated Annual Report 2025-26 400 2. Material accounting policy information (Continued) At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Impairment of financial assets The Group applies the expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets. With respect to trade receivables, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial services business, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 month ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition. 12 month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. For financial services business, Management overlay is used to adjust the ECL allowance in circumstances where management judges that the existing inputs, assumptions and model techniques do not capture all the risk factors relevant to the Company’s lending portfolios. Emerging local or global macroeconomic, micro economic or political events, and natural disasters that are not incorporated into the current parameters, risk ratings, or forward looking information are examples of such circumstances. The use of management overlay may impact the amount of ECL recognized. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write- off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss. (l) Revenue recognition Sale of Goods or Services Revenue from sale of goods are recognised upon satisfaction of performance obligation which is at a point in time, generally on delivery of the goods, when control of the goods is transferred to dealers/ customers. Revenue from services are recognised upon satisfaction of performance obligation towards rendering of such services. The Group recognises revenue from sale of goods or services at the amount of transaction price (excluding variable consideration that is constrained), that is allocated to the performance obligation satisfied. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects it to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. An amount of consideration can vary because of discounts, rebates, incentives etc. which are explicitly stated in the contract or are as per customary business practices. The consideration can also vary where the entitlement is contingent on occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected value method or the most likely amount depending on which method the Group expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled and is applied consistently throughout the contract. Payment terms agreed with a customer are as per business practice and the financing component, if significant, is separated from the transaction price and accounted as interest income/expense, as applicable. Dividend and interest income Dividend from investments are recognised in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable. Income from financial services business (i) Recognition of interest income on loans Interest income is recognised in Consolidated Statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method for all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, debt instruments measured at FVTOCI and debt instruments designated at FVTPL. If expectations regarding the cash flows on the financial asset are revised for reasons other than credit risk, the adjustment is recorded as a positive or negative adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset in the balance sheet with an increase or reduction in interest income. The adjustment is subsequently amortised through interest income in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss.
