CHAIRMAN’S SPEECH

Dear Shareholders
It gives me immense pleasure to present the 20th Annual Report of the Company for the Financial Year
2022-23.AI Airport Services Limited (“The Company”) (AIASL) is a leading ground-handling service provider
and is operational on PAN India.
AIASL was operationalized in February 2013 and commenced its autonomous operations from FY
2014-15. AIASL, since its stand-alone operationalization has been a profitable company except for FY
2020-21. During the FY 2020-21, the operations of the Company were majorly affected due to the advent
of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the company was turned around to make profits from the next
FY 2021-22 onwards, and continued its profitability, in the FY 2022-23, the Company earned a profit of
Rs.783.14 Million.
AIASL has the largest and widest ground handling presence for providing ground handling and related
services at 113 airports in India. AIASL-served Airports include the highest altitude and snow-clad airports
at Leh & Thoise, the desert airfield at Jaisalmer, Island airports in Agatti & Port Blair, and table-top airports

manpower resources, capable of rendering ground Handling (GH) services, covering all types of passenger
& freighter aircraft up to A380, A350 & 777 Max.
OVERVIEW- CIVIL AVIATION INDUSTRY
India has become the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake the UK
to become the third-largest air passenger market by 2024. Indian aviation also contributed significantly to the
GDP, creating millions of jobs. The Aviation industry’s fastest growth is being propelled by the development
of airports across multiple city tiers; a liberalized FDI policy; increasing adoption of information technology
and a strong focus on regional connectivity.
India is already among the top 10 aviation markets, serving over 105 million domestic passengers annually,
and the volume of air traffic, both in terms of passengers and cargo, is growing at a rapid pace after the
COVID-19 pandemic. More than 4 lakh passengers are traveling daily (P.T.O) on domestic flights alone,
with almost 6,000 flight movements. Similarly, about 1.75 lakh passengers are traveling on international
flights with about 1,000 flight movements.

Ai Airport Services Limited

Government of India, Ministry of Civil Aviation’s stimulating interventions play a major role in the
development of the aviation industry in India. One of the schemes launched by the Government in
support of the growth of aviation was the UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik) scheme which was
released in June 2016 with the motive of offering half of the flights at subsidized fares and is expected
to be in process for a period of 10 years (till 2026). Under the UDAN scheme, there are about 75
Airports operating and supporting about 490 RCS routes operated by 11 operators, flying about 4.5
lakh flights annually.
OVERVIEW- GROUND HANDLING
The India ground handling services market is consolidating with a large number of GHA’s being appointed
at most of the Air Ports by the Airport Operators, and competing in the market. AI Airport Services Limited is
the leading player in terms of spread, handling, and revenue in the India ground handling services market.
Air India SATS Airport Services, Bird Worldwide Flight Services, Celebi NAS Airport Services Private
Limited, and Indo-Thai Airport Management Services are the other leading GHA’s.
An increase in air passenger and freight traffic will increase demand for ground handling services in
the future. Growth in airline fleets and modernization and expansion of airport terminals will be major
contributors to the ground-handling services market in India. The record number of aircraft orders placed
by almost all the Indian carriers, led by Air India Limited and Indigo will surely augment the ground-handling
services market in India.
STRONG POSITION IN THE WORLD’S FASTEST-GROWING AVIATION INDUSTRY
The Indian aviation market is on its sustained recovery path and high growth trajectory after Covid, which
has a direct bearing on the business volumes for AIASL, - with the following milestone achievements:
o Domestic Air passenger traffic grew by 60% in FY 2022-23.
o Air carriers flew about 8.52 crore passengers on local routes in FY 2022-23.
o International Traffic is expected to recover to pre-COVID levels of FY 2020 in FY 2023-24
o India is 3rd largest domestic civil aviation market in the world after the USA and China and is expected
to become the 3rd largest air passenger (including domestic and international) market by 2024 besides
being 2nd fastest-growing aviation market in the world.
o There are about 750 aircraft capacity in India and it is expected to add about 1000 aircraft over the
next few years with firm aircraft orders by almost all the leading domestic schedule operators, as some
of them will replace the existing aircraft that are either phased out or leases terminated. As per the
forecast, India will need about 2,500 new commercial aircraft by 2038.
o In addition, there are about 830 aircraft being operated by NSOPs, Government, Private owned and
Training Institutes, etc., in India.
o About 12 Passenger Airlines and 4 Cargo Airlines in India operate about 750 aircraft consisting of 50+
wide-body aircraft, 80+ Turbo Props aircraft, and the balance aircraft are Narrow-body aircraft.
o There are about 103 NSOPs including 81 Domestic NSOP operators, operating 344 aircraft in India.
Top 15 NSOP operators accounted for more than 73% of the total domestic NSOP flights operated in
the year 2022-23
o There are about 25+ Ground handlers in India operating at various Airports.
o On the side of General Aviation operators, 150+ Business Jets, 30+ Turbo Props, and 320+ Helicopters,

3
Ai Airport Services Limited

who engage in operating Private Charters and Business Charters flights in India to various Airports,
which is a potential business for AIASL.
o Air India is acquiring about 470 aircraft i.e. narrow-body aircraft and wide-body aircraft.
o Indigo is acquiring about 500 narrow-body aircraft.
o India further plans to increase the number of operational airports to 220 by 2025.
o The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) stated that growth in aviation is likely to increase direct employment
across Airports, Airlines, FTOs, MROs, and GHs.
Ground handling companies are also the direct beneficiaries of the aviation sector growth in India (higher
flights handled leading to optimum utilization of resources and a larger revenue pool for ground handling
companies)
With the launch of the UDAN 5.2, with newly identified routes, about 500 RCS Routes are operationalized as
on date. AIASL by virtue of its pan-India presence is well placed to further consolidate its market leadership
position. However, sustenance and continuation of such Regional Connectivity Services Flights, is a
challenge for the Airlines, and thereby to AIASL and the other GHA’s operating at these UDAN Airports.
GROUND HANDLING REGULATION, 2018:
Airports Authority of India issued (Ground Handling Services) Regulation, 2018, which came into effect on
30th October 2018 and it regulated the size and structure of India’s ground handling sector or third-party
Ground Handling and Self Handling . This was the first time that India has had a single-document vision for
the aviation sector and that was a welcome development.
Airports Authority of India (AAI) on April 20, 2023, issued the Airports Authority of India (Ground Handling
Services) Amendment Regulations, 2023 to further amend the Airport Authority of India (Ground Handling
Services) Regulation 2018, in continuation to the previously amended regulations in 2019 and 2020.
DGCA AI Circular, 2022 For Providing Ground Handling Services at Private Airports:

Ground Handling (GH) Services at Airports other than those belonging to the Airports Authority of India” i.e.

Services at Private Airports in terms of the GH Policy, uniformly.

competition amongst all major Airports to encourage investment in airport facilities and regulate

* This is an exceptional case, where during the FY 2020-21 AIASL transferred its unutilized CSR fund
(accumulated from the FY 2017-18, 2018-19 & 2019-20) amounting to Rs.5,38,90,383/- towards Indira
Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademy (IGRUA) for providing scholarships for obtaining Commercial Pilot
Training to Economical Weaker Section of Society. During the FY 2021-22, no progress was noted in the
said ongoing project due to the advent of COVID and other unavoidable reasons. Consequently, during
FY 2022-23, the said project was amended/modified in the Board Meeting held on 02.08.2022 based on
IGRUA’s request. According to the amended project, IGRUA was required to utilize the said CSR funds
for the procurement of trainer aircraft, and in lieu of this IGRUA shall extend free-of-cost training to 7 no
of candidates from economically weaker sections of the society. Further, on completion of FY 2022-2023,
the CSR funds were still lying unutilized with IGRUA. On the backdrop of unutilized money lying in IGRUA
Account in the form of FD, AIASL opened an Unspent CSR Account and transferred the CSR unutilized
funds (with a surplus) amounting to Rs.5,96,68,779/- (Rs.5,38,90,383+ Rs.57,78,396) from IGRUA Account
to Unspent CSR Account of AIASL on 29.04.2023, which may further be allocated to IGRUA, if the Board
satisfied itself that the CSR –IGRUA project could be completed by March 2024, else the said CSR funds
shall be transferred to the fund specified under Schedule VII with the approval of the Board on or before
30.04.2024.
In furtherance thereof, the Board in its meeting held on the 15th day of September, 2023 approved the
following on the recommendation of the CSR Committee:
(i) To release the unutilized CSR funds lying in AIASL Unspent CSR Account along with the surplus, if
any (which have been allocated for IGRUA) on the submission/issuance of a Purchase Order or any
similar document by IGRUA for the procurement of trainer aircraft on or before 31.03.2024 in terms
of the CSR provisions and as per the existing approval, and
(ii) To permit IGRUA to procure the trainer aircraft as per the existing board approval using the CSR
funds, and
(iii) To allow IGRUA to continue the stipulated training(PPL/CPL/Type rating) beyond 31.03.2024 (to 7
EWS category candidates) and complete the training in about 24 months or as per IGRUA stipulated

and for which the IGRUA shall provide an undertaking to the AIASL Management that the training of

UNDER SECTION 143(6) (b) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 ON THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS OF AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31
MARCH 2023
The preparation of financial statements of AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED for the year ended 31 March
2023 in accordance with the financial reporting framework prescribed under the companies act, 2013 (Act)
is responsibility of the management of the company. The Statutory Auditor appointed by the Comptroller
and Auditor General of India under section 139(5) of the Act is responsible for expressing opinion on the
financial statements under section 143 of the act based on independent audit in accordance with the
standards on auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act. This is stated to have been done by
them vide their Audit Report dated 19 July 2023.
I, on behalf of the comptroller and Auditor General of India, have conducted a supplementary audit of the
financial statements of AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED for the Year ended 31 March 2023 under section
143(6) (a) of the Act. This supplementary audit has been carried out independently without access to the
working papers of the statutory auditor and is limited primarily to inquiries of the Statutory Auditor and
company personnel and a selective examination of some of the accounting records.
Based on my supplementary audit, I would like to highlight the following significant matters under section
143(6) (b) of the Act which have come to my attention and which in my view are necessary for enabling a
better understanding of the financial statements and the related audit report.
A. Comments on Profitability
Statement of Profit and Loss
Current Tax - ₹ 23.58 crore
Deferred Tax - ₹ (4.59) crore
The unabsorbed loss brought forward from previous year (2021-22) was ₹ 65.05 crore. The same was
adjusted as unabsorbed losses while computing the tax of ₹ 23.58 crore payable for the current year.
However, the said brought forward loss amounting to ₹ 65.05 crore was also considered while computing
the Deferred Tax expense of ₹16.37 crore as on 31 March 2023 and accordingly, the Deferred Tax Asset
has been created for such absorbed loss.
Para 5 of Ind AS 12 on Income Taxes states that ‘Deferred tax assets are the amounts of income taxes
recoverable in future periods in respect of (a)deductible temporary differences; (b) the carry forward of
unused tax losses; and (c) the carry forward of unused tax credits.’
Thus, as the unabsorbed loss was already considered while computing the tax payable for the current
year, therefore, the same should not have been considered while computing Deferred Tax Assets as
there is no unabsorbed carry forward loss for the year ended 31 March 2023.
This has resulted in overstatement of Deferred Tax Assets and understatement of Deferred Tax Expense
by ₹16.37 crore. Consequently, profit after tax is also overstated to the same extent.
The above has also rendered note no. 46 deficient to that extent. Further, non-reporting of the above said

57
Ai Airport Services Limited

issue by the statutory auditor has rendered the Independent Auditor’s Report deficient to that extent.
B. Comments on Auditors’ Report
1. Annexure ‘A’ to the Independent Auditor’s Report – Para no. vii (b)
The above states that as of 31 March 2023, the company has disputed outstanding dues under the Provident
Fund Act, 1952 for ₹6.01 crore related to damages and interest for the period 2020-2022. However, the
company has not disputed the said dues and made provision of ₹6.01 crore during the current year. Also,
out of the said dues of ₹ 6.01 crore, the company paid an amount of ₹ 0.15 crore in February 2023. Since
the above said dues were not under dispute, hence the dues amounting to ₹ 5.86 crore should have been
depicted as undisputed dues under para no. vii (a) of Annexure A of Independent Auditor’s Report. Thus,
the Independent Auditor’s Report is deficient to that extent.
2. Annexure ‘A’ to the Independent Auditor’s Report – Para no. (xi)(a)
According to para 3(xi) (a) of Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020, the statutory auditor shall report
in its Independent Auditor’s Report ‘Whether any fraud by the company or any fraud on the company has
been noticed or reported during the year; if yes, the nature and the amount involved is to be indicated.’
However, the statutory auditor has reported that ‘According to the information and explanation given to us
and based on our examination, we report that no fraud by the company or on the company by its officers or
employees has been noticed or reported during the year’.
As the company has reported about the fraud by the company or on the company by its officers or employees
only and no reporting regarding the frauds by the company or on the company by any third party has been
done. This has rendered the Independent Auditor’s Report deficient to that extent.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To
The Members of AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED
(Formerly known as Air India Air Transport Services Limited)
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED (“The
Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including other comprehensive income), the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
financial 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 state of affairs of the Company
as at March 31, 2023, its profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent
of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under
the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial
statements.
Emphasis of Matter
1. We draw attention to Note 53 to the financial statements, During the year 2022-23, Air India Limited
and Alliance Air Aviation Limited has raised an invoice for an amount of Rs. 121.41 million and Rs.
1.61 million respectively towards penalty. However, the same has not been provided in the books of
accounts of the company.
2. We draw attention to Note 37 to the financial statements, the Company is charging interest at the
rate of 9% p.a. on overdue balances of receivables in respect of group companies, namely, Air India
Engineering Services Limited and Alliance Air Aviation Limited. During the audit period, interest on
overdue payments amounting to Rs.116.67 million has been booked as other income. We have
relied on the management contention that such amount will be fully recovered and hence, no further
adjustments are required for the current audit period.

61
Ai Airport Services Limited

3. We draw attention to Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has inventories consisting of
stores and spares gross amounting to Rs. 56.11 million (Provision of Rs. 33.14 million has been made
for obsolescence of such inventories). These inventories are transferred from Air India Limited and
Air India Engineering Services Limited, which are not used for more than three years. We have relied
on the management contention that such inventories have value in use and is at-least equal to the
carrying value in the books based on the confirmation received from the user (technical) department of
the Company and hence, no further adjustments are required for the audit period.
4. We draw attention to Note 54 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into leases
for various commercial premises (with option to purchase/renew but title of the same may or may
not eventually be transferred) which are scattered at various locations/stations/regions, there is a
foreclosure clause in the contract wherein it is cancellable by providing notice period of 90 days by
either side. In view of the management, considering it as cancellable lease, the same does not qualify
for recognition under Ind AS 116 Lease Accounting.
Pending evaluation, these leases have not been considered as right-of-use asset under Ind AS 116
and rent of the same has been charged systematically to the statement of profit & loss for the current
year. We have relied on the management contention that the impact of the same will not be material.
5. We draw attention to Note 47 to the financial statements, the Company has provided interest amounting
to Rs. 35.69 million at the rate of 9% p.a. to AIAHL on average of outstanding balance payable.
6. We draw attention to Note 33 to the financial statements, amounts receivables from and payables to
the various parties are subject to confirmation and reconciliation.
7. We draw attention to Note 43 to the financial statements, Go Airlines India Limited has submitted
their application to NCLT for insolvency resolution process and accordingly NCLT has accepted the
application and initiated the insolvency process vide order dated May 10th, 2023 and now company
has filed its claim amounting Rs 220.35 million as on March 31st, 2023 (including interest amounting
Rs 11.27 million and accordingly company has made the 100% provision of the receivables excluding
interest in ECL).
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and analysis, Board’s Report
including Annexures to Board’s Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or
our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information comprising the above documents, if we conclude that there is
a material misstatement therein, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.

Ai Airport Services Limited

Management’s Responsibility for the 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 financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified
under Section 133 of the Act. 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 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 financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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.
The Board of Directors of the company is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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.

63
Ai Airport Services Limited

• 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the 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 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.

more in aggregate for each class of inventory were not noticed on such verification conducted by
the Company.

ANNEXURE – ‘B’ TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN


DATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED
Report on the Internal Financial Controls over financial reporting under Clause (i) of Sub- section 3
of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of AI AIRPORT SERVICES LIMITED
(“the Company”) as of March 31, 2023, in conjunction with our audit of the 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 control 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
the 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.
Auditor’s 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 as
specified 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 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 control system with reference to these financial statements and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements included obtaining an
understanding of internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, 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 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 internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to these Financial Statements
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 financial statements for

72
Ai Airport Services Limited

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, 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 financial statements in accordance with the 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; (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 financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements,
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.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material
weaknesses have been identified as at March 31, 2023:
(a) Deficiencies in the design of internal control over the preparation of the financial statements being
audited:
(i) Detailed documented Standard Operating Procedures as required by the Guidance Note on Audit of
Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by ICAI for critical processes are not in
place.
(ii) Authorization controls such as maker/checker controls in accounting and billing software needs
further strengthening.
(iii) Optimum utilization of information technology (IT) general and application controls needs to be
strengthened to provide complete information consistent with financial reporting objectives and
current needs.
(iv) Payroll is a significant process considering the size of Company’s Operations. However, it has
been observed that various processes such as attendance, leave records, details of new joiners
and resigned employees, payment of statutory dues, etc. are not fully automated and maintained
manually.
(b) The controls for reconciliation of physical inventory and fixed assets with the books of account can be
further strengthened.
(c) Timely reconciliations of certain significant accounts such as accounts receivables, accounts payables,
statutory dues with returns and payroll balances are not done in an accurate manner.
(d) Galaxy software to account cargo handling and APEDA and SAP are not integrated.
(e) Due to bugs in MBS software, full billing is not captured in SAP. The Company does the reconciliation
manually to account the billing which was not interfaced in SAP from MBS software.
73
Ai Airport Services Limited

(f) While creating new customer ledger, KYC Documents shared with the department are incomplete.
(g) No scrap register is maintained w.r.t property, plant and equipment (Ramp Equipments & Others)
(h) Records of procurement of material by MMD are not fully automated and maintained manually.
(i) Records of Ramp Assistance Form (RA Forms) issued are not fully automated and maintained manually.
There are no records of the Ramp Assistance Form (RA Forms) for which invoices have not been
issued. Such controls should be further strengthened.
A ‘material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over
financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, based on the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the
objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained adequate and effective internal financial
controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, 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.

The Handling Exception Report Format
(ERF) shall be jointly signed by AI and
AIASL. Further as per clause 2.7, the
delays will be jointly reviewed and only
be attributable if they are within the AIASL
responsibility and control.
During the year 2022-23, Air India
has raised an invoice for an amount
of Rs.121.41 million towards penalty.
However, AIASL has been contesting
the penalties raised as there is no ERF
forms provided along with the Invoice. In
such cases as per escalation matrix, Air
India should escalate the matter to Hub
Control Centre/Airport Manager then to
Regional General Manager and then to
Regional Director. It is observed that
inspite of AIASL protesting the levy of
penalty, Air India has not escalated the
matter and neither has responded to our
correspondence.
AIASL is of the strong opinion that
the penalties imposed by Air India are
unilateral and without the consent of
AIASL.

Notes forming part of the audited financial statements


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Corporate Information
AI Airport Services Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of AI Asset Holding Limited a Government
of India Company) is a public limited company incorporated in India under the provisions of the
Companies Act applicable in India with a CIN: U63090DL2003PLC120790. The company has
changed its name from Air India Transport Services Limited to AI Airport Services Limited. The
company mainly provides services of Ground Handling at Indian Airports to Airlines Operators.
The registered office of the company is situated at: 2nd Floor, GSD Building, Air India Complex,
Terminal-2, IGI Airport, New Delhi - 110037.
B Significant Accounting Policies
The company has prepared these Financial Statements which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2023, Statement of Profit and Loss and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year
ended as on that date, and accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter
referred to as “Financial Statements”).
i) Basis of Preparation & Presentation
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind
AS), under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments measured at fair
values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
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, regardless of whether that price
is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of
an asset or a liability, the Company takes in to account the characteristics of the asset or liability if
market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at
the measurement date.
Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these Financial Statements within the
scope of Ind AS 116, Financial Statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing
transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 1116, and measurements that have some similarities
to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind
AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1,2,
or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and
the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurements in its entirety, which are described as
follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the Balance Sheet on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole) at the end of each reporting period.

86
Ai Airport Services Limited

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities
on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair
value hierarchy as explained above.
ii) Functional Currency
Currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“the Functional
Currency”) is Indian Rupee (₹) in which the Company primarily generates and expends cash.
Accordingly, the Management has assessed its functional currency to be Indian Rupee (₹) The
Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupee (₹) which is Company’s Presentation and
Functional currency and all amounts disclosed in the Financial Statements and Notes have been
rounded off to the nearest Million (up to one decimal), unless otherwise stated.
iii) Current and Non-Current Classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current / non-current
classification.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
• it is expected to be realized in the Company’s normal operating cycle. it is held primarily for the
purpose of providing services;
• it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
• it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
• it is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
• it is held primarily for the purpose of providing services;
• it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or the Company does not have
an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date. 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current only.
The Company being in service sector, there is no specific operating cycle; however, 12 months
period has been adopted as “The Operating Cycle” in-terms of the provisions of Schedule III to the
Companies Act 2013. Accordingly, current liabilities and current assets include the current portion of
non-current financial liabilities and assets.
C. Recent Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2022 vide Notification dated 23 March 2022. Following amendments and annual improvements
to Ind AS are applicable from 1 April 2022.
Ind AS - 103 Business Combination
The amendment specifies that for identified assets and liabilities to qualify for recognition as part
of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed must
meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India at the acquisition date.

87
Ai Airport Services Limited

Ind AS - 16 Property Plant and Equipment


The amendment clarifies that sale proceeds of items produced in the process of making PPE available
for its intended use cannot be deducted from the cost of PPE. Instead, such proceeds shall be
recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Ind AS - 37 Provisions
The amendment clarifies that that the ‘costs to fulfil’ a contract include both incremental costs (direct
labour and material) and an allocation of other direct costs (e.g: depreciation charge for an item of
PPE used in fulfilling the contract).
Annual improvements to Ind AS 109 - Financial instruments
The amendment clarifies while performing the ’10 percent test’ for derecognition of financial liabilities,
borrower includes only fees paid or received between borrower and lender directly or on behalf of the
other’s behalf. The Company does not expect the above amendments / improvements to have any
significant impact on its standalone financial statements.
D. Use of Estimates & Judgements
Inherent in the application of many of the accounting policies used in preparing the IND AS Financial
Statements is the need for Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual outcomes could differ from the estimates
and assumptions used.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.
Key source of judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the
Financial Statements which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year, are mainly in respect useful lives of property, plant
and equipment, depreciation/amortization, impairments, employee benefit obligations, provisions,
provision for income tax, measurement of deferred tax assets, contingent assets and contingent
liabilities etc.
E Property, Plant & Equipments (PPE):
a) The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts
and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the
tax authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use,
including relevant borrowing costs for qualifying assets and any expected costs of decommissioning.
Expenditure incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as
repairs and maintenance, are charged to the Statement of Profit and loss in the year in which the
costs are incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the
disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in Statement of
Profit and loss.
Property, plant and equipment except freehold land held for use in the providing services, supply or
administrative purposes, are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any.

88
Ai Airport Services Limited

The Company had elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment
as recognised in the Financial Statements on transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous
GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its
estimated residual value. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their
residual values over their useful lives, using straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. PPE of small value not exceeding INR 10,000, in each case,
are fully provided for in the year of Purchase. The company has changed its capitalisation policy for
PPE which is an accounting estimate of small value not exceeding INR 10,000 from current financial
year, which has NIL financial impact in current financial year.

(in years)
Asset Useful life as per Companies Act, 2013
Office equipment 5
Ramp equipments 15
Furniture & fixtures 10
Electrical fittings 10
Computers 3
Workshop equipments & instruments 10
Plant & machinery 15
Vehicles 8

b) Physical Verification of PPE is done on a rotational basis so that every asset is verified in every two
years and the discrepancies observed in the course of the verification are adjusted in the year in
which report is submitted.
c) Impairment of Property, plant and equipment
At the end of each reporting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If
any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the
extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of
an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified,
corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated
to the smallest group of cash- generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis
can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
F. Inventories
Inventories consist of various stores and spares which are valued at lower of cost and Net Realizable
Value (‘NRV’). Costs of inventories are determined on weighted average cost basis. Net realisable
value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and
costs necessary to make the sale.

Ai Airport Services Limited

G. Revenue Recognition
Ind AS 115 addresses the recognition of revenue from customer contracts and impacts on the
amounts and timing of the recognition of such revenue. The standard introduced a five-step approach
to revenue recognition:
- Identifying the contract;
- identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
- determining the transaction price;
- allocating that transaction price to the performance obligations; and
- Finally recognizing the revenue as those performance obligations are satisfied.
On transition to Ind AS 115 the company has adopted the modified retrospective approach, and
therefore has not restated the prior year comparative within this year’s Financial Statements. On
transition to Ind AS 115 an impact assessment was performed.
Rendering of Services
The Company recognizes revenue when control over the promised services is rendered to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled
in exchange for those services.
The Company recognises revenue generally at the point in time when the services are rendered to
customer
a) Ground handling services are recognized when the services are provided. Un-billed services at
the end of each financial year, based on available data, are estimated and are recognized as
revenue.
b) Income from interest is recognized on a time proportion basis.
c) Other operating revenue is recognized when services rendered during the period.
In revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company accounts for individual
services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a service is separately identifiable from other items
in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it. The consideration is allocated between
separate services in the arrangement based on their stand- alone selling prices.
Contract balances
i) Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for services rendered to the customer. If the
company performs by rendering of services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or
before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration including Trade
receivables.
ii) Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to render 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 render services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized
when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are
recognized as revenue when the company performs under the contract including advance received
from customer.
iii) Refund liabilities
A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable)
from the customer and is measured at the amount the Company ultimately expects it will have to
return to the customer. The Company updates its estimates of refund liabilities at the end of each
reporting period.

H. Foreign Currency Transactions


The functional currency of the company is determined on the basis of the primary economic
environment in which it operates. The functional currency of the Company is Indian National Rupee
(INR).
The transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are
recognized at the following rates
a) Interline settlement on account of IATA Clearing House (ICH) bills settlement is carried out at the
exchange rate published by International Air Transport Association (IATA) for respective month.
b) At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at exchange rate circulated by Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI)
and the gains / losses arising out of fluctuations in exchange rates are recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
c) Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
retranslated.
I. Leases
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 Leases from 1st April, 2019. Ind AS 116 “Leases” introduced
a single, Balance Sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the company, as a lessee, has
recognised right-to-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities
representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Lease working has been done till 30th June’ 2021 as on that date, there is a expiration of contract
and, after that contract extends for short term period only and Ind AS 116 not applicable on short term
leases.
The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:
a) Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic
environment with a similar end date
b) Apply the exemption not to recognize right-to-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than
12 month of lease term, low value asset and the lease contracts in which the lessee and the
lessor each have the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no
more than an insignificant penalty as on the date of initial recognition.
c) Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases.
Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases
under Ind AS 17.
The Company as a Lessee:
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if
the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration and the company applied practical expedient to “grandfather approach” for the
assessment of transactions as leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were
previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17. Leases as Lessee (Assets taken on lease) the
Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-
term leases, leases of low-value assets and the lease contracts in which the lessee and the lessor
each have the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more
than an insignificant penalty. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

91
Ai Airport Services Limited

(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.
For the short-term, low-value leases and the lease contracts in which the lessee and the lessor each
have the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party with no more than an
insignificant penalty, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to
extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities
includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any
periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any
periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The
Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company
applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option
to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic
incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the
Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that
is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to
terminate.
The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease
liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease
plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the
fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the
asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such
cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset
belongs.
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 in the country of domicile of these leases.
Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the
Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease
payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
J. Government Grant
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will
comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over
the period in which the Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are
intended to compensate or when performance obligations are met.

92
Ai Airport Services Limited

Government Grants related to assets are presented in the Balance Sheet as deferred income and are
recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related assets.
K. Employee Benefits
Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when
employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. The retirement benefits to the
employees comprise of defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
a) Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plan consists of contribution to Employees Provident Fund. The Company has
Employees Provident Fund Trusts under the Provident Fund Act, 1925 for Permanent employees till
1st December’ 2021. After that, trust has been dissolved and amount had been transferred to EPFO
under Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, 1952. As regards Fixed Term Contract (FTC) employees,
Provident Fund (PF) dues are deposited with the office of Employees’ Provident Fund Organization
(EPFO) by the Company. There had been a Supreme Court (SC) judgement dated February 28,
2019, relating to components of salary structure that need to be taken into account while computing
the contribution to provident fund under the EPF Act. There are interpretative aspects related to the
Judgement including the effective date of application. In the view of the management, the contribution
for PF is to be calculated as per Employee’s Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act,
1952. Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) dues are regularly deposited with government
authorities. The company’s payment to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense
during the period in which the employees perform the services that the payment covers.
b) Defined benefit plans
The Company’s defined benefit plans, which are not funded, consist of Gratuity, Post-Retirement
Medical Benefits and other benefits. For defined retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing
benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried
out at the end of each annual reporting year.
The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates
used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the
market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods
approximating to the terms of related obligations. Re-measurements gains and losses arising from
experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which
they occur, directly in Other Comprehensive Income. They are included in “Other Equity” in the
Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Balance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from settlement or curtailments
are recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss as past service cost.
Other Long-Term Employee Benefits
In the form of Leave Encashment are accounted as other long-term employee benefits. The Company’s
net obligation in respect of Leave Encashment is the amount of benefits to be settled in future, that
employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous years. The benefit is
discounted to determine its present value. The obligation is measured on the basis of an actuarial
valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Re-measurements are recognized in Statement of
Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Short Term Benefits
Short Term Employee Benefits are accounted for in the period during which the services have been
rendered.

93
Ai Airport Services Limited

Short-term and other long-term employee benefit


A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual
leave and sick leave in the year the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted
amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present
value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of
services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
L. Taxes on Income
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
Current tax is the amount of expected tax payable based on the taxable profit for the period as
determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act,
1961
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred
tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction
that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are
not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. 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.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic
benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as a deferred tax asset
if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT
is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that future economic benefit
associated with it will flow to the Company.
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 realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting year.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set
off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable
entity and the same taxation authority.
The Deferred tax assets are recognized and carried forward to the extent that there is a virtual
certainty based on operational and financial restructuring, revenue generation and cost reduction
program of the company that the assets will be realized in the future.

94
Ai Airport Services Limited

Current and deferred tax for the period


Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are relating to items that
are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and
deferred tax are also recognized 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 tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same
taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net
basis.
M. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities / Capital Commitments & Contingent Assets
a) Provisions involving a substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when
there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that
there will be an outflow of resources. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific
to the liability. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimates. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit
and Loss
b) The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle
the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to
settle the present obligation, it carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when
the effect of the time value of money is material).
c) When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be
recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
d) Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of a note in respect of possible obligations that may
arise from past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of
one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.
e) Contingent assets are possible assets that arises 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. A contingent asset is disclosed, when an inflow of
economic benefits is probable.
f) Onerous Contracts
An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the
unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits
expected to be received from the contract. Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are
recognized and measured as provisions.
N. 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 insignificant risk of
changes in value.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalent consists 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.

95
Ai Airport Services Limited

O. Earning Per Share


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for treasury shares, bonus issue, bonus element in
a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend,
interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive
potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving
basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been
issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares including the treasury shares held by
the Company to satisfy the exercise of the share options by the employees.
P. 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. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized
when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss (FVTPL)) are
added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate,
on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or
financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized immediately in Statement of
Profit and Loss.
i) Financial Assets
a) Classification of Financial Assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is measured at amortized cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or FVTPL on the basis of the objective of its business model,
applied for managing the financial assets and characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
b) Recognition and initial measurement
A financial asset is initially recognized at fair value and, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs
that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. Purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. In case financial assets are not recorded at fair value
through Statement of Profit and Loss, transaction costs are attributed to the acquisition of the financial
asset.
In addition, on initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that
otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI as at FVTPL if
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces and accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
c) Subsequent measurement
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not
designated at FVTPL:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual
cash flows; and

96
Ai Airport Services Limited

• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any
gains and losses arising on remeasurement recognized in statement of profit or loss. The net gain
or loss recognized in statement of profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the
financial asset and is included in the ‘other income’ line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL
is recognized when:
• The Company’s right to receive the dividends is established,
• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividends will flow to the entity,
• The dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of
dividend can be measured reliably.
d) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset to another party.
e) Impairment of other financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognizing impairment loss on financial
assets measured at amortized cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, lease receivables, trade receivables,
other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default
occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are
due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company
expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-
adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The
Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for
example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial
instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the
lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly
since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly
since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at
an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion
of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if
default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are
predicted over the next 12 months.
If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss
model in the previous year, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not
increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to
the previous year, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected
credit losses.
For 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 always measures the loss
allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

97
Ai Airport Services Limited

Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables,
the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit
loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss
experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.
The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally
applied to debt instruments at FVTOCI except that the loss allowance is recognized in other
comprehensive income and is not reduced from the carrying amount in the Balance Sheet.
f) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and
of allocating interest income over the relevant year. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through
the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter year, to the net carrying
amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial
assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized in statement of profit or loss and is
included in the ‘Other income’ line item.
g) Write-off
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 Company determines
that the counterparty 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 in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for
recovery of amounts due.
ii) Financial Liabilities
a) Classification
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’
b) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. The Company’s financial liabilities include
trade and other payables
c) Subsequent measurement
Other financial liabilities:
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized
in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR
amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included
as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
d) De-recognition
The Company de-recognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are
discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial
liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
98
Ai Airport Services Limited

e) Offsetting of financial instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance
Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to sell on a net basis, to realize the assets and sell the liabilities simultaneously
Q. Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment at least once a year. Such
lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their
likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and
operating costs. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and amortization expected
in future periods
Contingencies:
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims
against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystalizing or are very
difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the
notes but are not recognized. The cases which have been determined as remote by the Company
are not disclosed.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the Financial Statements unless when an
inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Fair value measurements:
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the Financial
Statements cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured
using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from
observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required
in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit
risk and volatility.
Taxes:
Pursuant to the announcement of the changes in the corporate tax regime, the Companies have
an option to either opt for the new tax regime or continue to pay taxes as per the old applicable tax
structure together with the other benefits available to the Companies including utilization of the MAT
credit available. This requires significant estimation in determining in which year the company would
migrate to the new tax regime basis future year taxable profits is including the impact of ongoing
expansion plans of the Company and consequential utilization of available MAT credit. Accordingly,
in accordance with IND AS 12 – Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be
measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date.

occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.The sensitivity analysis
presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the Defined Benefit Obligation as it is unlikely
that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be
correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has
been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method
as applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

the industry practice considering promotion and demand & supply of the employees. Maturity Analysis of Benefit
payments is undiscounted cash flows considering future salary, attrition & death in respective year for members as
mentioned above for forseeable future of next 10 years. Average Expected Future Service represents Estimated
Term of Post - Employment Benefit Obligation. Weighted Average Duration of the Defined Benefit Obligation is the

CGHS and accordingly they will avail the medical benefits directly from CGHS and therefore company has
not done the acturial valuation during the year.
Actuarial gains/losses are recognized in the period of occurrence under Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). All

Fair value hierarchy
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable
and consist of the following three levels:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs are other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly
(i.e. derived from prices).

133
Ai Airport Services Limited

Level 3: Inputs are not based on observable market data unobservable inputs. Fair value are determined in whole or in part using a valuation
model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are
they based on available market data.

B. Financial risk management objective and policies:


The company has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
i. Credit risk
ii. Liquidity risk
iii. Market risk – a. Foreign currency and b. Interest rate
The company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial
liabilities is to finance receivable, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s senior management oversees
the management of these risks. A board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks,
which summarized below:
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligation. Customer credit risk is managed centrally by the Company and subject to established
policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed
based on an individual credit limits defined in accordance with the assessment.
The maximum exposure to the credit at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are
typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. The company does monitor the economic
environment in which it operates. The company manages its credit risk through credit approvals, establishing credit
limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customers to which the Company brands credit terms in the
normal course of the business.
Trade receivables consist of number of customers from the same aviation industry. Significant of outstanding is from
its group Companies (i.e. 60%) and for which the management expects no credit risk. Accordingly, no expected credit
loss has been considered on receivables from group companies. Further, receivables from government companies
is also considered as fully recoverable and hence, no provisioning considered on such receivables.
Apart from group company and government receivables, in respect of other parties there is no significant concentration
of credit risk. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue in any of the years indicated. The outstanding
trade receivables are regularly monitored, and appropriate action is taken for collection of overdue receivables.
As per simplified approach, the company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a
provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provision at each reporting date
wherever outstanding is for longer period and involves higher risk. Our historical experience of collecting receivables
indicate a low credit risk. Hence, trade receivables are considered to be a single class of financial assets.
As per policy receivables are classified into different buckets based on the overdue period ranging from 6 months –
one year to more than one year and one to two years.
Based on the business environment in which the company operates, management considers that the trade receivable
are in default (credit impaired) if the payments are past due. There provisioning norms computed based on the
proportion computed by taking ratio of outstanding receivables for more than 36 months. According ECL is provide
using following rates:

(ii) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligation associated with its Financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another Financial assets.
The company’s approach to manage Liquidity is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due,
under both normal and stressed circumstances, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the
Company’s reputation.
The company believes that its liquidity position, including total cash (including bank deposit lien and excluding
interest accrued but not due) anticipated future internally generated funds from operations, and its fully available,
revolving undrawn credit facility of ₹ Nil (March 31, 2022: Nil; April 1, 2021: Nil) will enable it to meet its future known
obligation in the ordinary course of business. However, if a liquidity needs were to arise, the company believes it has
access to financing arrangement, value of unencumbered assets, which should enable it to meet its ongoing capital,
operating, and liquidity requirement.

The company’s liquidity management process as monitored by management includes the following:
- Day to day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirement can be met.
- Maintaining rolling forecast of the Company’s liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows.
- Maintaining diversified credit lines.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting data. The contractual
maturity is based on the earliest date on which the company may be required to pay:

48. Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management (continued..)


(iii) Market risk
Market risk is that the fair value and future cash flows of financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises two type of risk namely: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective
of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while
optimizing the return.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. The company is not exposed to any borrowings.
(b) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. The company is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in the prevailing foreign currency rates
on its financial position and cash flows. Exposure arises primarily due to exchange rate fluctuation between the
functional currency and other currencies from the company’s operating, investing and financing activities.
Exposure to foreign currency risk

foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates.
The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their
translation at the year-end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates, with all other variables held constant. A positive
number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where INR depreciates 5% against the relevant currency. For
a 5% weakening of INR against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on profit or equity, and
the balances below would be negative.
