GSK_Annual_Report_2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 (contd.) Annual Report 2020-21 183 Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable in the future arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. It is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are off-set against each other and the resultant net amount is presented in the Balance Sheet, if and only when the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off the current income tax assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Current and deferred tax is recognised in the statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. n) Employee benefits (a) Short Term Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (b) Post-Employment Benefits (i) Defined Contribution Plans The Group’s defined contribution plans are superannuation and employees’ pension scheme (under the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952) since the Group has no further obligation beyond making the contributions. The Group’s contributions to these plans are charged to the statement of profit and loss as incurred. (ii) Defined Benefits Plans “Liability for defined benefit plans is provided on the basis of valuations, as at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary.” Gratuity and Post-Retirement Medical The actuarial valuation method used for measuring the liability for gratuity and post-retirement medical is projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income in the period of occurrence of such gains and losses. The obligations for gratuity and post-retirement medical are measured as the present value of estimated future cashflows discounted at rates reflecting the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations. The estimate of future salary increases considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. The expected rate of return of plan assets is the Group’s expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations. Plan assets are measured at fair value as at the balance sheet date.
