Dear Shareholders,
With great pleasure, I extend a warm and hearty welcome to all of you in the 13th Annual General Meeting of your Company. Financial statements alongwith the Auditors Report is already in your hands.
The impact of the global slowdown in the economy had its impact on Indian economy too. Although the growth of the telecom sector in the past decade has been phenomenal, but the slow growth witnessed globally in the past two years did affect the sector. Despite the GDP growth of 5% in 2012-13, no significant growth waves were felt in the domestic economic sector. Telecom, although in service segment, did show some resilience to the external economy factors; and thus, emerged as one of the key players showing better performance.
Depreciation of Rupee against US Dollar did effect the overall growth and expansion plans in the Indian Telecom sector - since most of the high-tech equipments, gears etc., are all imported – combined with increase in the Diesel prices – critical component of the operations at base stations/exchanges had shot up the operating costs.
PERFORMANCE DURING 2012-13
During the year 2012-13, the Company incurred a loss of 7884.44 Crore [Previous Year Rs.8850.70 Crore]. While the Income From Services is Rs.25654.81 Crore [Previous Year Rs.25982.13 Crore], Other Income was Rs.1473.08 Crore [Previous Year Rs.1951.37 Crore].
There was a reduction of 1.26% in Income from Services in comparison to previous
year, the Other Income reduced by 24.51%. There was a reduction of 2.88% in the Total Income in comparison with the previous year.

Your Company is operating in a very dynamic and highly competitive environment. Quest for higher market share and increased margins have propelled competitors to introduce new and innovative business models, thereby a business environment where the core competencies are becoming imitable and competitive advantages are short-lived. With its transparent and affordable tariff packages aiming for connecting the country and empowering the masses to bridge the digital divide, the ‘Brand BSNL’ touches the life-line of the bulk of the population of the country.
You will appreciate that the management tried relentlessly to arrest the fall in revenues by exploring innovative business approaches and models. To considerable extent, the BSNL Brand has regained the market confidence. Management is exploring various means to turn around the Company inter-alia, possibilities of monetizing of it’s land and building assets.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
In the last decade, the Telecom Sector significantly contributed to social economic development of the country and also attained the stature of a dynamic parameter in measuring growth in Indian economic scenario. Being the Second largest telecom network of the world, impact of the telecom sector, its growth and significance in nation’s economy play a pivotal role. Gradual shifting of service delivery in e-mode by the Government and other players had turned the sector as key player in most of the sectors.
Emergence of the telecom sector as key development catalyst, the services assuming importance as the last mile in e-service delivery programmes demand active leverage of the sector to derive maximum mileage.
In the above scenario, Low rural teledensity and low penetration of internet in the country pose a strong business case for the ICT Sector to chase growth.
MAJOR REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS/ChALLENGES
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), keeping in view the healthy growth of the sector, has issued various regulations in the previous year.
Entry of more advanced technologies and shifting of consumer’s focus from wired-line to wireless technology have already resulted in a huge user base. Further technological advancements and offerings in the ICT Sector foresee greater degree of convergence.
For taking maximum mileage of the advancement of technologies for nation’s growth, optimum utilization of the available spectrum will be required. Therefore, coming days foresee complete re-farming of the spectrum and new policies for optimum pricing and utilization of the spectrum including sharing of spectrum.
STRENGThS / OPPORTUNITIES/WEAKNESS/ThREATS
BSNL being the incumbent operator with strong network operations and core telecom professionals is ideally placed in the crowded ICT market. With abundant backhaul capacity and Copper and OFC linkages across the country, the Company has all the potentials of emerging as a key player in nation’s economic matrix.
Government’s thrust on e-delivery of services has opened a new vista of opportunity to the ICT Sector, for Broadband, M-VAS and other services.
But drastically falling call rates, cut-throat competition and huge investment in spectrum have upset the operating margins of the ICT sector.
OUTLOOK
Urge of the consumer for accessing various services such as Stock market data, Health, Education related and Entertainment has gradually shifted the focus to wireless segment; thus, the demand for M-VAS applications and service will grow manifold. Country is already witnessing a steady growth of on-line business transactions. Technological advancements will further push the demand and growth of internet/broadband segment in the coming years.
With broadband penetration, the market is expected to grow further, specially in rural areas, where teledensity and broadband penetration is low. Thus, a strong growth story is waiting to happen in the telecom sector, which will benefit the BSNL also.

Annual Report 2012-13
b) The deferred tax has been dealt with in accordance with the contention of the Company before the tax
authorities. The Company contends that the capital reserve arising out of the capital structure at the time
of incorporation of the company is not in the nature of financial relief and hence not to be reduced from
the value of fixed assets. According to the company’s contention, the depreciation provided in the book
on the value of assets without deducting the amount involved in capital reserve is admissible in income
tax. On this basis, the Company is recognising the deferred tax assets/liabilities.
c) The Company, being a Company providing telecommunication services is eligible to claim deduction
under Section 80 IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 with respect to 100 % of the profits and gains derived
from this business for the first five years and thereafter at 30% of the profits for the second five years (re-
ferred to as the Tax Holiday Period). Accordingly, the Company has opted for Tax Holiday Period from
financial year 2003-04 and onwards.
d) In accordance with Accounting Standard Interpretation (ASI)-3 issued by the Institute of Chartered Ac-
countants of India, the deferred tax in respect of timing differences which originates and gets reversed
during the tax holiday period have not been recognized. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences
which originate during the tax holiday period but gets reversed after the tax holiday period, have been
recognized in the year in which the timing differences have originated. For this purpose, as a conserva-
tive measure, deferred tax provision has been made in respect of the period when only 30% of the profits
would be tax free assuming that only 70% of the timing differences would reverse.
e). During the current year all provisions of outstanding deferred tax assets/liabilities have been reviewed and
accordingly Deferred Tax Assets has been adjusted. As on 31 March 2013, the outstanding Deferred Tax Assets is Rs. 520,527 lacs and Deferred Tax Liabilities is Rs. 507,197 lacs.

31. FIXED ASSETS / DEPRECIATION / CAPITAL WORK IN PROGRESS31.1 Fixed Assets taken over from DoT as on 01 October 2000 are based on physical verification
conducted by the management. The value of fixed assets taken over including capital work-in-progress has been determined by the management using the original cost of the asset (wherever available) or alternatively the value arrived at by applying Strategic Business Plan (“SBP”) rates, which is based on technical assessment, as reduced by the depreciation up to 30 September 2000 on Straight Line Basis at the rates prescribed by DoT. Capital assets acquired by the company after 01 October 2000 is valued at the cost including all direct charges incurred up to the time of installation or put to use.
The transfer values, as indicated above, in respect of assets transferred from DoT on 01 October 2000 have been treated as its original cost and depreciation has been provided on written down value method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 without reassessing the remaining useful life of such assets as on that date. Depreciation has been provided at the rates as stated above for all the assets acquired after 01 October 2000 except in the case of Subscribers Installations which are depreciated over the useful life of 5 years on written down value method. Depreciation has been calculated by the circles, as per the policies of the Company.
31.2 Land at several locations has been taken over at a nominal value say Re. 1, wherever original cost is not available. As at 31 March 2013 thirty two circles (P.Y. thirty six circles) have identified the leasehold land. In the absence of the information relating to such acquisition in other cases, no adjustment has been made for amortizing the cost of such unidentified lease hold land over the lease period.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2013
Annual Report 2012-13
82
The lease period of a few leasehold lands on which buildings are constructed, have not been renewed / or the renewals are under dispute. No provision has been made for the ‘surrender value / written down value of the building’ in the hope that the leases would be ultimately renewed.
31.3 Pending transfer of the immovable property in the name of the Company, documents in respect of some land & buildings acquired during the period are under legal process/execution. Further in respect of assets taken over from DoT, formalities for vesting the assets in favour of the Company wherever necessary/applicable are under process. Further some of the assets acquired by the Company are yet to be registered in the name of the Company.
31.4 The Company, as per instructions issued by the Ministry of Communications & IT through letters having number P-11014/13/2008-PP dated nil and number P-11014/13/2008-PP dated 12 June 2010, has provided Rs. 1,018,658 lacs and Rs. 831,380 lacs as one time charge for 3G spectrum and BWA spectrum respectively in the financial year 2009-10, which was earmarked for the Company on 08 August 2008. Above-mentioned amount has been paid to the Government of India during the financial year 2010-11. As per terms and conditions of NIA the right to use above-mentioned spectrum is for 20 years from the date of awards of right to commercially use the allocated spectrum block. Accordingly the Company is amortizing the one time spectrum fee over the period of twenty years as per straight-line method.
31.5 Certain assets that have been completed and put to use, have not been capitalized in thirteen circles (P.Y. seventeen circles) pursuant to the policy of capitalizing only after completion certificates have been obtained and till then these are still shown as capital work-in-progress. The amount ascertained in respect of nine circles (P.Y. five circles) is Rs. 33,292 lacs (P.Y. Rs 3,977 lacs). To that extent, these have not been depreciated on account of the fact that the total expenditure on such capital works is still to be classified under the proper heads.
31.6 Establishment and administration expenses incurred in units where project work is also undertaken, are allocated to capital and revenue based either on man-month allocated or proportionate basis.
31.7 In one circle (P.Y. one circle), there is difference between the CWIP subsidiary ledger and general control ledger.
32. DoT BALANCESNet amount of Rs. 123,777 lacs (P. Y. Rs. 134,431 lacs) recoverable on current account from DoT is subject to confirmation, reconciliation and consequential adjustment. There is no agreement between the Company and DoT for interest recoverable / payable on outstanding amounts of DoT on current account. Hence no accrual for interest has been made on the amount payable to / recoverable from DoT.
33. INTER/INTRA CIRCLE REMITTANCEThe management is in the process of reconciling the various differences between the subsidiary records and the corresponding control accounts and the balance of Rs. 102,458 lacs (P.Y. Rs. 123,615 lacs) in Inter/Intra-Circle Remittances account. The cumulative impact of such differences between control accounts and subsidiary ledger and the un-reconciled balance in Inter/Intra Circle Remittance account on the affected accounts of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities is currently not ascertainable.

be treated as financial relief/grant/subsidy. Hence, is to be reduced from the actual cost of fixed assets.

Hon’ble High Court passed the judgments on both the writ petitions on 09 May 2013 setting aside the re-assessment proceedings. Thus, demand for 2001-02 is likely to be wiped off unless I.T Department appeals against the judgment in Apex Court. Response from I.T Department to High Court Orders dated 09 May 2013 has not been received by BSNL so far.

Further appeal has been filed with Hon’ble ITAT against the order of CIT (A).
4. The appeal filed against the penalty for A.Y. 2005-06 under section 271(1)(c) imposed to the extent of Rs. 115,316 lacs has been disposed of by CIT(A) vide their order dated 14 March 2012. Substantial relief has been allowed to the company as mentioned below :

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2013, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Incorporated in these financial statements are the accounts of Head Office Circle audited by us and of 47 Circles audited by branch auditors appointed under Section 228 of the Companies Act, 1956 by the Comptroller and Auditor - General of India.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
2. Management is responsible for 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 referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Assets taken over from Department of Telecommunication (‘DoT’) and DoT balance
6. As detailed in note 28, 31.1 and 31.3 to the financial statements, net assets (including contingent liabilities) taken over from Department of Telecommunications (‘DoT’) have been verified and valued by the management based on internal calculations are subject to reconciliation and final confirmation from DoT as regards to ownership, value and classification. The consequential impact on the depreciation, if any, as a result of the same is presently not determinable. And the value of net assets, idenftified subsequent to 1 October 2000 has been adjusted to Capital Reserves. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
7. As detailed in note 32 to the financial statements, a net amount of Rs. 123,777 lacs recoverable on current account from DoT is subject to confirmation, reconciliation and consequential adjustments. Due to non-availability of confirmations of aforesaid balances, we are unable to quantify the impact of the adjustments, if any, arising from reconciliation and settlement of account balances on the financial statements. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Fixed Assets and Capital Work-in-Progress
8. As reported by auditors of certain circles, Capital work-in-progress includes balances pending capitalisation for long-periods of time, pending analysis of status and value and obtaining of commissioning certificates. Thus the consequential
93
Annual Report 2012-13
impact, if any, on account of depreciation of assets from the date of put to use cannot be ascertained. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
9. As reported by auditors of certain circles, in the absence of information in respect of certain items of fixed assets capitalised, particularly batteries, it could not be established whether assets capitalised were on account of replacement of existing asset or addition or extention to an existing asset and hence the impact of the same on the classification/value of the assets and depreciation/expenses is currently not ascertainable.
10. As reported by auditors of certain circles, the freehold/leasehold land as identified and valued by the respective circles have only been incorporated in the books of account and amortised with effect from the year of formation of the Company. Hence, in respect of the lands still not identified and incorporated in the books of account of the respective circles, the impact on value of fixed assets and the respective amortisation for the current year and prior periods is currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
11. As detailed in note 31.2 to the financial statements, auditors of certain circle reported about the expiry/non renewal of lease period of leasehold lands on which buildings have been constructed and the fact that no provision has been made for the surrender value/written down value of the building in the expectation of ultimate renewal of the leases. The consequential impact of adjustment, if any, on this account cannot be currently ascertained. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
12. As stated in note 13(a) to the financial statements, title deeds are yet to be executed in respect of land purchased/acquired on leasehold/ freehold in certain cases through various authorities. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
13. As stated in note 31.7 to the financial statements, there are differences in Capital-work-in-progress between subsidiary ledger and General ledger/Trial balance, the impact of the same is not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
14. The following accounting treatments by the Company in respect of fixed assets and Capital works-in-progress are not in accordance with the provisions Accounting Standard - 10, Accounting for fixed assets notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006:
a) As detailed in note 31.6 to the financial statements, the Company charges overheads on estimated/fixed percentage/proportionate/payment basis to the Capital work-in-progress rather than the actual usage basis.
b) As reported by certain circle auditors, the Company capitalises the assets either on yearly or quarterly basis rather than the actual put-to-use date.
c) Accounting policies regarding capitalisation, disposal, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are not uniformly applied across all the circles.
The resultant impact of the above non compliance with the standard on the value of fixed assets, capital work-in-progress, depreciation and profit/loss is currently not ascertainable. Above mentioned point a) was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Current Assets, Loans and Advances and Current Liabilities
15. The Company does not follow a system of obtaining confirmation of balances in respect of Trade receivables, deposits with departments/companies (including MTNL), claims recoverable from/payable to DoT (including license fees payable as detailed in note 42.1 of the financial statements) or other government departments, subscriber deposit account, claims payable. Due to non-availability of confirmations of aforesaid balances, we are unable to quantify the impact of the adjustments, if any, arising from reconciliation and settlement of account balances on the financial statements. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
16. As detailed in note 19(a) and 19(b) to the financial statements, Cheques and TT's deposited with the bank for Rs. 3,442 lacs but not creditted by the banks and unlinked debit and credit items

In the absence of details available, such cheques in hand have not been disclosed separately under the head ‘Cash and Bank Balances’ in the accompanying financial statements. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
18. As detailed in note 18(a) to the financial statements, no adjustment has been recorded for the differences of Rs. 22,917 lacs in Trial balance/General ledger and Subsidiary ledger in respect of trade recieveables for certain circles.

Inter/ Intra Circle Remittance Account
19. As detailed in note 33 to the financial statements, the amounts lying in the Inter-Circle/Unit remittance balances are yet to be reconciled with the other circles of the Company. Pending such reconciliations, the possible cumulative impact of the adjustments, if any, on Income, Expenditure, Assets and Liabilities are currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
License Fee, Spectrum Charges, Inter Connect Usage Charges
20. As detailed in note 29 to the financial statements, the Company does not have a system of identifying NLD(National long distance)/ILD(International long distance) revenue separately based on the actual usage of pulse. In the absence of such a system, the Company is recognizing the license fees on estimated basis and the consequential impact of adjustment, if any, upon computing the license fees on actual basis is currently not ascertainable.
This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
21. As detailed in note 10(a) to the financial statements, there exists no agreement between the Company and MTNL for carriage of traffic in each other’s network. As a result of this the Company has computed and accounted for the IUC(interconnect usage charges) based on the rates prescribed by TRAI(Telecom regulation authority of India). The impact, if any, of the pending resolution and settlement of disputed amounts on the financial statements is currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
22. The Company has assessed provisional amount of the current year and earlier years of Rs. 12,334 lacs and Rs. 6,014 lacs respectively for spectrum charges payable to WPC(Wireless Planning Coordination) for point to point terrestrial MW links and Satellite systems.

In the absence of the required details and documents at some of the circles and pending the responses to our confirmation requests in respect of the litigations at Company level, the impact of adjustment, if any, on the financial statements is currently not ascertainable.

Annual Report 2012-13
Miscellaneous
25. The Company has not complied in respect of the following Accounting Standards:
i) As reported by auditors of certain circles, in absence of adequate informations, details and records, Old, Non-moving, damaged and unserviceable inventories could not be identified. Further, as reported by 5 of the circles, old, non-moving, damaged and unserviceable inventories identified amounting to Rs. 1,043 lacs are shown at historical cost. This is not in accordance with the Accounting standard - 2 on Valuation of inventories notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 and adjustment, if any, on account of lower of net realisable value and the cost is currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
ii) As reported by Southern Telecom Projects circle, the company has not restated the liability in respect of imported VSAT equipment used for trading/capitalisation at the payment/closing rate (as the case may be), which is not in accordance with Accounting Standard 11 on The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006, the impact of which on profits/losses, depreciation, fixed assets and inventory is not ascertainable in the absence of specific details.
iii) As detailed in note 35 to the financial statements, reported by 14 circles, the expenses, incomes, assets and liabilities are not properly segregated as required in the Segment reporting disclosure as per Accounting Standard 17 on Segment Reporting notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006. In our opinion, the same does not give true and fair view of the segment-wise operations of the Company.
iv) The Company has not accounted for the amount of deferred tax asset as on 31 March 2013 in accordance with Accounting Standard 22 on Accounting for taxes on Income notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006. The consequential impact of adjustment, if any, on the financial statements is currently not ascertainable.
v) The Company has not carried out Techno-economic assessement as on 31 March 2013 and hence identification of impairment loss
and provision thereof, if any, has not been made. The same is not in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on Impairment of asset notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006. The consequential impact of adjustment, if any, on the financial statements is currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
26. As stated in point 2.2-(e), (f) and (i) of the significant accounting policies, certain items are accounted for on cash basis instead of accrual basis which is not in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India. The impact of adjustment, if any, in respect thereof is currently not ascertainable.
27. The accounting for capital or revenue grant in accordance with Accounting Standard 12 on Accounting for grants notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 is not followed consistently across the circles. In the absence of specific details, the consequential impact of adjustment, if any, on the financial statements is currently not ascertainable.
28. As stated in the point 2.12 of the significant accounting policies, items of income/expenditure exceeding Rs. 5 lacs, applied on each transaction, are only considered as prior-period items. In our opinion the said accounting policy is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India as any limit should be considered in aggregate instead of on individual basis for adjustment/disclosure in the financial statements. The consequential impact of the adjustment, if any, on the profit/loss for the year is not ascertainable.
29. As detailed in note 17(a) to the financial statements, there are differences in inventory between stores ledger and General ledger/Trial balance, the impact of the same is not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
30. As reported by 3 circles, Term cell of DoT has levied penalty on account of deficient subscriber verification towards CAF application and Rs. 328 lacs paid by the company has been charged to Statement of Profit and Loss which, in our opinion, should be recoverable from the agencies to whom the CAF application verification work was awarded. The losses for the current year and current liabilities are overstated by Rs. 328 lacs.

Above mentioned point b) was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
33. As reported by auditors of certain circles, certain units have not applied the Company's policy of valuation of inventory on weighted average method consistently. The impact of the adjustment, if any, is not currently not ascertainable.
34. The accounting policy with respect to the decommissioned assets is not uniformly applied across all circle and in some of the circles, these are not recorded at lower of the cost or net realisable value. In some of the circles, the decommissioned assets are not appropriately adjusted from the block of fixed assets and depreciation is still being charged on such assets. In the absence of details available, we are unable to comment upon the impact of adjustment, if any, arising out of the same is presently not ascertainable.
35. As reported by auditors of certain circles,
compliances with regard to deposition, deduction, reconciliation of Service taxes and Taxes deducted at source are pending to be made. In the absence of specific details, we are unable to comment on its consequential impact, if any, on the financial statements.
36. As detailed in notes 1) and 2) of the Cash Flow Statements disclosure, certain assumptions have been made for the purpose of preperartion of the Cash Flow Statements. In the absence of the appropriate details, we shall not be able to quantify the impact, if any, on the disclosures in the Cash Flow Statements. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Qualified opinion
37. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects/possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph the financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2013;
ii) in the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the year ended on that date; and
iii) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date
emphasis of Matter
38. As reported by auditors of certain circles, we draw attention to the financial statements of the Company in respect of the claims raised towards usage of infrastructure charges to private operators on adhoc basis instead of actual consumption basis and accordingly, are subject to reconciliation/confirmation. Pending the final outcome of the matter, no adjustments have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
39. We draw attention to note 46 to financial statements in respect of the climatic catastrophe in the state of Uttarakhand, which has caused damage to certain assets of the Uttarakhand circle of the Company. The management is in the process of identifying the damaged assets for ascertaining the loss arising on this account. Pending the final outcome of the
97
Annual Report 2012-13
matter, no adjustments have been recorded as an extraordinary item in the accompanying financial statements. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
report on other Legal and regulatory requirements
40. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 (“the Order”) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Act, we give in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
41. As required by Section 227(3) of the Act, we report that:
a. Except for the effects of the matters described in the para 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25(i), 27, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35 and 36 of Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit;
b. Except for the effects of the matters described in the para 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25(i), 25(ii), 25(iv), 25(v), 26, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33 and 34 of Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit have been received from branches not visited by us. The circle Auditor’s Reports have been forwarded to us and have been appropriately dealt with;
c. We have received the reports on the accounts of the Circle offices audited under section 228 by other auditors and have appropriately dealt with these while forming our audit opinion. Except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account and with the audited returns received from the Circles;
d. Except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph, in our opinion, the financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Act; and
e. Since, the Company is a Government company, clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956 regarding obtaining written
representations from the directors of the Company, is not applicable to the Company in terms of notification no. GSR-829(E) dated 21.10.2003
Other Matter
42. We did not audit the accounts of 47 Circles, which reflect total assets (including intra/inter circle remittances) of Rs. 6,371,764 lacs as at 31 March 2013; total revenues of Rs. 2,612,827 lacs and net cash outflows aggregating to Rs. 7,410 lacs for the year then ended. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion on the financial statements of the Company for the year then ended to the extent they relate to the financial statements not audited by us as stated in this paragraph is based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
43. This report is effective as of 30 August 2013, the auditors' report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred between the auditors' report date of the respective circles/unit, as the case may be, of the Company and the time this auditors' report date. Such events or circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying financial statements or the related disclosures forming part of these financial statements of the Company. In the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of the other circles, we are currently unable to ascertain the impact of adjustments, if any, or disclosures to be included in these financial statements of the Company.

Annexure to the Independent Auditors’ report of even date to the members of bharat sanchar nigam Limited, on the financial statements for the year ended 31 st Match 2013
Based on the audit procedures performed for the purpose of reporting a true and fair view on the financial statements of the Company and taking into consideration the information and explanations given to us and the books of account and other records examined by us in the normal course of audit, we report that:
(i) (a) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, the Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets except in case of 30 circles.
(b) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, the fixed assets have been physically verified by the management during the year, except for 11 circles where no physical verification was carried out and the same is in process in respect of two circles. In addition, the auditors of 22 circles have reported that the management has only furnished the certificate of physical verification; however no documentary evidence was made available to them, and therefore, they were unable to comment on material discrepancies noticed on such verification, if any.
(c) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, a substantial part of fixed assets has not been disposed off during the year.
(ii) (a) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, the management has conducted a physical verification of inventory at reasonable intervals, except for 6 circles, which have not been verified during the year. However, a number of other auditors have reported that no documentary evidence supporting such physical verification was made available.
(b) Based upon the reports of auditors of 12 circles, documentation of the physical verification process followed by the company is inadequate and in addition, the auditors of 16 circles have reported that no documentary evidence, supporting the conduct of such physical verification were made available to them. Accordingly they were unable to comment on the procedures of physical verification and reasonableness thereof.
(c) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, 30 circles are not maintaining
proper records of inventory. Consequently, the circle auditors were therefore unable to comment on the discrepancies which could have arisen between physical inventory and book records.
(iii)(a) The Company has not granted any loan, secured or unsecured to companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. Accordingly, the provisions of clauses 4(iii)(b) to 4(iii) (d) of the Order are not applicable.
(e) The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured from companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. Accordingly, the provisions of clauses 4(iii)(f) and 4(iii)(g) of the Order are not applicable.
(iv) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, the internal control system is not commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the sale of goods and services. However, we are unable to comment on whether there is a continuing failure to correct major weakness in internal control as none of the other auditors have reported in this regard.
(v) (a) The Company has not entered into any contracts or arrangements referred to in Section 301 of the Act. Accordingly, the provisions of clause 4(v) of the Order are not applicable.
(vi) The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public within the meaning of Sections 58A and 58AA of the Act and the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975. Accordingly, the provisions of clause 4(vi) of the Order are not applicable.
(vii) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, the Company has an internal audit system, the scope and coverage of which, in our opinion, requires to be further enhanced to be commensurate with its size and the nature of its business.
(viii) Based upon the reports of auditors of other circles, the Company, pursuant to the Rules made by the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under clause (d) of sub-section (1) of Section 209 of the Act, is generally maintaining the prescribed accounts and records except in case of
99

17 circles. Further, such records for the year ended March 31, 2013 are under preparation in respect of 18 circles. Hence, we are unable to comment on the accuracy and completeness of the cost records for the Company as a whole.
(ix) (a) Out of 48 circles, auditors of 15 circles have reported that the Company is not regular in depositing undisputed statutory dues, including investor education and protection fund, employees’ state insurance, income-tax, sales-tax, wealth tax, service tax, custom duty, excise duty, cess with the appropriate authorities in India. Further, subject to our comments in para 34 in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph of the audit report; undisputed amounts payable in respect in respect of 3 circles,, which were outstanding at the year-end for a period of more than six months from the date they became payable are set out in appendix I to our report and undisputed amounts payable in respect 12 circles, the auditors have reported that such outstanding dues have not been ascertained.
(b) Subject to our comments in para 34 in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph of the audit report, auditors in respect of 40 circles have reported that there are dues outstanding in respect of sales-tax, income-tax, custom duty, wealth-tax, excise duty and which have not been deposited on account of dispute. Except for 6 circles out of 40 circles as mentioned above, the amounts involved and the forum where the dispute is pending have been reported and detailed in appendix II to our report.

Annual Report 2012-13

Addendum to Director’s report: -The replies of Management to Auditor’s report 2012-13 are given below:
Audit Para Management reply
6. As detailed in note 28, 31.1 and 31.3 to the financial statements, net assets (including contingent liabilities) taken over from Department of Telecommunications (‘DoT’) have been verified and valued by the management based on internal calculations are subject to reconciliation and final confirmation from DoT as regards to ownership, value and classification. The consequential impact on the depreciation, if any, as a result of the same is presently not determinable. And the value of net assets, identified subsequent to 1 October 2000 has been adjusted to Capital Reserves. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
7. As detailed in note 32 to the financial statements, a net amount of Rs. 123,777 lacs recoverable on current account from DoT is subject to confirmation, reconciliation and consequential adjustments. Due to non-availability of confirmations of aforesaid balances, we are unable to quantify the impact of the adjustments, if any, arising from reconciliation and settlement of account balances on the financial statements. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Fixed Assets and capital Work-in-Progress
8. As reported by auditors of certain circles, Capital work-in-progress includes balances pending capitalisation for long-periods of time, pending analysis of status and value and obtaining of commissioning certificates. Thus the consequential impact, if any, on account of depreciation of assets from the date of put to use cannot be ascertained. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
9. As reported by auditors of certain circles, in the absence of information in respect of certain items of fixed assets capitalized, particularly batteries, it could not be established whether assets capitalized were on account of replacement of existing asset or addition or extension to an existing asset and hence the impact of the same on the classification/ value of the assets and depreciation/ expenses is currently not ascertainable.
Noted. The difference is less than 0.50% between provisional amount on which assets were transferred and net additional assets identified till date.
The circle authorities are being instructed again to carry out reconciliation of the balance due to and due from DOT.
The Circles are being instructed to capitalize the works as and when completed and put to use and depreciation provided from that date.
This pertains to only four (04) circles. The concerned circles are being instructed to account for such types of transactions as per accounting circulars issued in this regard.

10. As reported by auditors of certain circles, the freehold/leasehold land as identified and valued by the respective circles have only been incorporated in the books of account and amortised with effect from the year of formation of the Company. Hence, in respect of the lands still not identified and incorporated in the books of account of the respective circles, the impact on value of fixed assets and the respective amortisation for the current year and prior periods is currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
11. As detailed in note 31.2 to the financial statements, auditors of certain circle reported about the expiry/non renewal of lease period of leasehold lands on which buildings have been constructed and the fact that no provision has been made for the surrender value/written down value of the building in the expectation of ultimate renewal of the leases. The consequential impact of adjustment, if any, on this account cannot be currently ascertained. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
12. As stated in note 13(a) to the financial statements, title deeds are yet to be executed in respect of land purchased/acquired on leasehold/ freehold in certain cases through various authorities. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
13. As stated in note 31.7 to the financial statements, there are differences in Capital-work-in-progress between subsidiary ledger and General ledger/Trial balance, the impact of the same is not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
14. The following accounting treatments by the Company in respect of fixed assets and Capital works-in-progress are not in accordance with the provisions Accounting Standard - 10, Accounting for fixed assets notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006:
a) As detailed in note 31.6 to the financial statements, the Company charges overheads on estimated/ fixed percentage/ proportionate/ payment basis to the Capital work-in-progress rather than the actual usage basis.
All leasehold/ freehold land which are known/ identified have been accounted for.
The concerned circles are being instructed to expedite the process of getting the lease of lands renewed.
The company is in the process of executing the title deeds of the lands purchased / acquired, wherever required.
As stated in Note 31.7 to the financial statements, the difference is in case of one circle only. The concerned circle is being instructed to reconcile the subsidiary ledger of CWIP with the booked figures in General Ledger and neutralize the difference between the two sets of records.
Accounting policy of BSNL in this regard states that the cost includes directly related establishment and other expenses including employee remuneration and benefits, directly identifiable to the construction or creation of assets.

b) As reported by certain circle auditors, the Company capitalizes the assets either on yearly or quarterly basis rather than the actual put-to-use date.
c) Accounting policies regarding capitalization, disposal, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are not uniformly applied across all the circles.
The resultant impact of the above non-compliance with the standard on the value of fixed assets, capital work- in-progress, depreciation and profit/loss is currently not ascertainable. Abovementioned point a) was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Current Assets, Loans and Advances and Current Liabilities
15. The Company does not follow a system of obtaining confirmation of balances in respect of Trade receivables, deposits with departments/companies (including MTNL), claims recoverable from/payable to DoT (including license fees payable as detailed in note 42.1 of the financial statements) or other government departments, subscriber deposit account, claims payable. Due to non-availability of confirmations of aforesaid balances, we are unable to quantify the impact of the adjustments, if any, arising from reconciliation and settlement of account balances on the financial statements. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
16. As detailed in note 19(a) and 19(b) to the financial statements, Cheques and TT’s deposited with the bank for Rs. 3,442 lacs but not credited by the banks and unlinked debit and credit items appearing in Bank reconciliation for Rs. 428 lacs and 482 lacs respectively are still in the process of reconciliation. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
In case, the costs are not directly attributable for e.g. administration and other associated costs where an employee is devoting his time to various jobs simultaneously during the month then such expenditure is divided among the different job on the basis of ratio of actual time spent by him over the various jobs or if it is not practically possible to find such division then on an appropriate empirical ratio and accordingly decision regarding charging of the same towards CWIP or revenue heads is taken.
The concerned circles are being instructed to capitalize the works as and when completed and put to use.
The concerned circles are being instructed to strictly adhere on the accounting policies and instructions issued from time to time.
As per Industry practice including MTNL, taking confirmation for trade receivables and subscribers deposits from huge subscribers’ base is neither practical nor possible.
For balances due to or due from other parties i.e. DOT, DOP, other Govt. departments/ companies including MTNL etc., circles are instructed again to carry out reconciliation on regular intervals.
The concerned circles are being instructed to take appropriate action for unlinked debit and credit items as well as Cheques / TTs deposited but not credited by banks, and settle the same immediately.

This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.
Inter/ Intra Circle Remittance Account
19. As detailed in note 33 to the financial statements, the amounts lying in the Inter-Circle/Unit remittance balances are yet to be reconciled with the other circles of the Company. Pending such reconciliations, the possible cumulative impact of the adjustments, if any, on Income, Expenditure, Assets and Liabilities are currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.

In the absence of such a system, the Company is recognizing the license fees on estimated basis and the consequential impact of adjustment, if any, upon computing the license fees on actual basis is currently not ascertainable. This was also a subject matter of qualification in previous auditor’s report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012.

In the absence of the required details and documents at some of the circles and pending the responses to our confirmation requests in respect of the litigations at Company level, the impact of adjustment, if any, on the financial statements is currently not ascertainable.

and unserviceable inventories could not be identified. Further, as reported by 5 of the circles, old, non-moving, damaged and unserviceable inventories identified amounting to Rs. 1,043 lacs are shown at historical cost. This is not in accordance with the Accounting standard - 2 on Valuation of inventories notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 and adjustment, if any, on account of lower of net realisable value and the cost is currently not ascertainable.

28. As stated in the point 2.12 of the significant accounting policies, items of income/ expenditure exceeding Rs. 5 lacs, applied on each transaction, are only considered as prior-period items. In our opinion, the said accounting policy is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India as any limit should be considered in aggregate instead of on individual basis for adjustment/disclosure in the financial statements. The consequential impact of the adjustment, if any, on the profit/loss for the year is not ascertainable.
29. As detailed in note 17(a) to the financial statements, there are differences in inventory between stores ledger and General ledger/Trial balance, the impact of the same is not ascertainable.

comments of the comptoller & Auditor General of India under Section 619(4) of the companies Act, 1956 on the annual accounts of Bharat
Sanchar Nigam Limited for the year ended 31 March 2013.
The preparation of financial statements of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), for the year ended 31 March 2013 in accordance with the financial reporting frame work prescribed under the Companies Act, 1956 is the responsibility of the Management of the BSNL. The Statutory Auditors appointed by the Comptroller & Auditor General of India under Section 619(2) of the Companies Act, 1956 are responsible for expressing opinion on these financial statements under Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 based on independent audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing prescribed by their professional body, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This is stated to have been done by them vide their Audit Report dated 30 August 2013.I, on behalf of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India, have conducted a supplementary audit under Section 619(3) (b) of the Companies Act, 1956 of the financial statements of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited for the year ended 31 March 2013. This supplementary audit has been carried out independently without access to the working papers of the statutory auditor and is limited primarily to enquiries of the statutory auditor and BSNL 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 619 (4) of the Companies Act, 1956 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. BALANcE SHEET1. other current Liabilities (Note 11) Income received in advance against service: rs.2148.18 crore Amount of bills for advance rentals raised during 2012-13 pertaining to service to be rendered in the
next year i.e. 2013-14 was accounted as ‘Income Received in Advance against Service’ under other current liabilities. The amount not received against the bills was accounted as ‘Trade Receivables’ in current assets. Resultantly ‘Service Tax Recoverable’ and ‘Service Tax Payable’ was also accounted. As neither service was rendered nor full amount of advance rental income was received during the year, a separate disclosure of non-realised advance income against the bills raised included in ‘Income Received in Advance against Service’ and ‘Trade Receivable’ should have been made in the accounts.
Audit noticed in 25 circles test checked of BSNL non-realised bills for advance rentals amounting to Rs.913.61 crore raised during 2012-13 pertaining to the next year i.e. 2013-14 accounted as ‘Trade Receivables’ and ‘Income Received in Advance against Service’
2. other current Assets (Note 21) Amount recoverable from Govt Deptt /companies: rs.3398.75 crore The above is overstated by Rs.3059.95 crore due to non-provisioning for doubtful debts for an amount
of Rs.1264.13 crore as required under Accounting Policy No. 2.2(a) and balance provision for doubtful debts of Rs.1795.82 crore is appearing under ‘Trade Receivable’ instead of ‘Amount recoverable from Govt Deptt/Companies’.

A BALANcE SHEET
1 other current Liabilities (Note 11) Income received in ` 2148.18 crore advance against service:
Amount of bills for advance rentals raised during 2012-13 pertaining to service to be rendered in the next year i.e. 2013-14 was accounted as ‘Income Received in Advance against Service’ under other current liabilities. The amount not received against the bills was accounted as ‘Trade Receivables’ in current assets. Resultantly ‘Service Tax Recoverable’ and ‘Service Tax Payable’ was also accounted. As neither service was rendered nor full amount of advance rental income was received during the year, a separate disclosure of non-realised advance income against the bills raised included in ‘Income Received in Advance against Service’ and ‘Trade Receivable’ should have been made in the accounts.
Audit noticed in 25 circles test checked of BSNL non-realised bills for advance rentals amounting to ` 913.61 crore raised during 2012-13 pertaining to the next year i.e. 2013-14 accounted as ‘Trade Receivables’ and ‘Income Received in Advance against Service’.
2 other current Assets (Note 21) Amount recoverable from Govt. Deptt/ companies:
` 3398.75 crore
The above is overstated by `3059.95 crore due to non-provisioning for doubtful debts for an amount of `1264.13 crore as required under Accounting Policy No. 2.2(a) and balance provision for doubtful debts of `1795.82 crore is appearing under ‘Trade Receivable’ instead of ‘Amount recoverable from Govt Deptt/ Companies’. This resulted in understatement of loss for the year by `1264.13 crore. Further, this resulted in understatement of ‘Trade Receivables’ by `1795.82 crore.
B ProFIT AND LoSS AccoUNT
1 revenue from operations: `25654.81 crore (Note 22) Accounting Policy No. 2.2(e) on revenue recognition
for income from SIMs, Recharge Coupons of Mobile, Prepaid Calling Cards and Prepaid Internet Connection Cards as income of the year in which payment is received since the extent of use of these cards within the financial year could not be ascertained is in contravention of Accounting Standard 9 of ICAI. This resulted in overstatement of ‘Revenue from Operations’ and understatement of ‘Income received in advance against service’ by an unascertainable amount.
The billing of advance fixed charges/ rental is done as per the industry practice which is being followed by all the op-erators including MTNL and to secure the revenue at least equivalent to fixed charges.
This is the policy of the company which is continuing from the DTO/DTS period and as such there is no change in the billing principle. Once billing is done, the entire amount has to be accounted as revenue or advance revenue de-pending upon the period involved.
However, BSNL is taking necessary action to capture the advance income actually received and outstanding at the end of the year separately from the forthcoming year 2013-14 onwards, for proper presentation in financial state-ments as suggested by C&AG.
MTNL is a Govt. of India undertaking and comes under the same ministry. The possibilities of recovery of dues cannot be compared with ordinary subscriber for whom provision is made for outstanding dues of more than 2 years. As suf-ficient provision already exists, no further provision was con-sidered necessary.
Necessary action will be taken in the financial year 2013-14 to show both Claims Recoverable from MTNL and Provision for Bad Debts (MTNL) under the same Head.
As per Para 27 of AS-1 issued by ICAI, “if a fundamental accounting assumption is not followed, the fact should be disclosed”.
In this regard, it is submitted that this fact is already dis-closed in accounting policy of BSNL which is reproduced below:
“Income from SIMs, Recharge Coupons of Mobile, Prepaid Calling Cards and Prepaid Internet Connection Cards are treated as income of the year in which the payment is received since the extent of use of these cards within the financial year could not be ascertained.” (Note 2.2(a))

2 other Income (Note 23): ` 1473.08 crore
As per Accounting Policy No. 2.2 (i) on revenue recognition income by way of interest on loans to employees, security deposit with Government Departments and local authorities are accounted for on collection basis instead of on a time proportion basis as per Accounting Standard 9 of ICAI. This resulted in understatement of ‘Other income’ and overstatement of loss for the year.
3 Employees remuneration ` 13757.82 crore and benefits (Note 24):
The Accounting Policy No. 2.10(b)(iii) of the company under Defined Benefit Plan for other benefits including post employment medical care is in contravention of Accounting Standard 15 of ICAI which resulted in non-provision of liability towards post employment medical care as per Accounting Standard 15 of ICAI. Thus expenditure on employees remuneration and benefits with corresponding non-current liabilities and loss for the year are not correctly determined.

However, the company is examining technical feasibility in this regard. If found feasible, the same will be imple-mented from the next financial year.
In this regard, the accounting policy of BSNL is reproduced below:
“Other income by way of interest on loans to employees, security deposit with Government Departments and local authorities, being not material, are accounted for on col-lection basis.” (Note 2.2(i)).
As per Para 27 of AS-1 issued by ICAI, “if a fundamental accounting assumption is not followed, the fact should be disclosed”.
Adequate disclosure has been made in the books of ac-counts of BSNL.
As per the accounting policy as disclosed, claims for med-ical facility received from the employees of BSNL (including retirees) up to the cut off date of finalisation of annual ac-counts, are treated as liability of the company for the said financial year.
The post employment medical care extended to its retired employees as per the present policy of BSNL is more like facility, which may be revised by the Management any time, depending upon the relevant factors prevailing at that time.
However, policy of medical facilities to BSNL employees (including retired employees) is already under review. Based on such review, appropriate action for provision will be taken in the forthcoming year.
BSNL and MTNL have now signed a MOU on agreed princi-ples of charges to each other. Hence, in future there shall not be any difference between these two organisations on account of receivable and payable reconciliations. For the past period amounts, the issues shall be taken up sub-ject matter-wise and principles of reconciliation and reso-lution shall be worked out.
