NOTES TO ACCOUNTS

The word 'contract' for the purpose of this note covers all types of capital contracts, such as
contracts for capital supplies. contracts for erection of capital assets; contracts for supply-cum-erection of capital assets etc. contract value of which exceeds Rs. 1 crore each.
(2) Notes 3 and 4 below refer to 'unconditional obligations for purchase and unconditional
right of sale of power'.
An 'unconditional

purchase obligation'

is any arrangment for purchase of power from other

bodies which is non-cancellable or is cancellable only:

-upon the occurrence of some remote contingency or
-with the permission of the other party or
-If a replacement agreement is signed 'between the same parties or
-upon payment of a penalty of such an amount that the continuation

of

the agreement

appears reasonably assured.

What is, 'unconditional purchase obligation'
for the purchasinq party is 'an unconditional
right of sale' for the selling party.
(3) Notes 3 and 4 distinguish unconditional purchase obligations "with financing arrangement" from others. Unconditional purchase obligations "with financing agreement" means the purchase arrangement of the type described in (2) above which was negotiated as part of financing for
the facilities (generating station. transmission lines etc). that will provide the contracted power.
Example of such an arrangement is financing of NTPC projects by the World Bank subject to NTPC
entering into agreements with State Electricity Boards for purchase of power to be generated by NTPC.

REVENUE FROM SALE OF POWER

OTHER CONSUMERS

Sub-accounts 61.20 to 6~39 sbould be operated for different categories of consumers as existing in the tariff structure of the respective Boards. ;n assigning
Ihe sub-accounts it is desirable to bear in mind the Planning Commission's
categories of consumers which are given below:
-Domestic
-Commercial
-Public Lighting
--Irrigation & Dewatering
=-Public Water Works
=-lndustrie! (l T, HT, Power Intensive end Special)
-Rail\ovay Traction
- Bulk Supply
-Outs ide supplies
-Miscellaneous
Under the main accounts 61.1, 61.2 and 61.3 the 5th digit of each account code
should be tilled for recording individual type of charge under the tariff effective
in each Board. The specific code should however be so structured that uniform type of charge should be booked under the same 5th digil code. For
example-

Energv Charges
Demand charges

Fuel Cost Adjustment Charge

Power Factor Surcharge

Adjustment to Past Billing

All adjustments made to correct the errors in past billing (but in current year)
shall not be analysed into individual elements (0 to 8) but be booked in total
under the head 9- "Adjustments
to Pest Billing':.
On incorporating the
Consumer Category and individual type of charge, the account codes would
evolve as illustrated below: e.g.

61.201
61.292

Revenue from Sale of Power-DomesticDemand Charges

Revenue from Sale of Power- Public Wat(~r VVorks.-.Fuel Cos! Adjustment Charge

1.2 Annual Accounts of a Board shall reflect the

transactions
of the Board end of any other body in
which the Board has ownership rights as a sole
owner, partner or a member of association of persons and in the management of which the Board
can exercise and actually exercises sign'ficant
influence.

1.3 A mere fight to receive a part or whole of the

power gener2ted by any other body, whether at cost
or at a prefixed r a i e shall not be the ground for
reflecting the transactions of such body in a Board's
accounts.
1.4 Where the transactions of any other body have
to be reflected in more than one Board's accounts
in accordance with the paragraph 1.1, each Board
shall reflect the assets, liabilities, income and expenses or that body in proportion of its ownership share
in that body.

on the same basis from year to year. Even the
accounting policies followed in respect of areas not
specifically covered here after or in cases where
departure from the prescribed accountirg policy is
permitted, shall be followed consistently from year
to year.
TRUE AND FAIR PRESENTATION
------------

i.9 Accounts of a Board shall present a true and

fair view of the financial position and results of
operations of the Board. True and fair view implies
the disclosure of all information necessary for a
reader's understanding of the financial position and
results of operations of the Board.
1.10 The objective of crescribinp the forms of annual accounts of a Board is to prescribe the minimum
and uniform disclosure required by all Boards.
Additional information in the accounts Or by way of
notes may be given if it is necessary to ensue true
and fair presentation.
CASH BASIS

1.5 Interest acquired by a Board in snv body

whose transactions do not require incorporation
into a Board'S accounts in accordance with the
paragraph 1.2 shall be disclosed at cost, in Board's
accounts as investments.
In such cases the excess
or shortfall of Board's share of the net assets of the
body over the cost of acquiring the interest in that
body shall be disclosed in the Board's accounts by
way of a note.

AND POLICIES.

OF ACCOUNTING

ONLY WHERE

PRESCRIBED
1.11 The cash basis of accounting ie, the practice
of booking costs, revenues, assets and liabilities
when money is received or paid and not when accrued shall not be adopted by a Board except in the
specific case where cash basis is prescribed in this
Annexure or in Annexure V tn all other cases, a
Board shall follow commercial accounting system
which requies recording of transactions by which
revenues, costs, assets and liabities are reflected in
the accounts for the period in which they accrue.
NO RETROSPECTIVE

PRIOR

REVENUE COSTS

1.12 All prior period revenue or costs arising on

account of a difference between an accounting estimate made for accrual and the actual values involved or on account of any other reason shall be accounted for prospectively and no retrospective restating
of past ve ars figures shall bepermitted.

shall be adjusted for any charges in estimates resulting from the use of such e'vidence. Identifying the events that require
adjustment in accounts calls for the exercise of judgment and knowledge of the facts
For example, a loss on an uncollectible receivable as a result of a consumer's deteriorating financial condition leading to bankruptcy subsequent to the balance sheet date
would be indicative of his poor iinancial
condition existing at the balance sheet date,
thereby calling for adjustment of the accounts. On the other hand a similar loss
resulting from a consumer's major casuallY
such as a fire or flood subsequent to the
balance sheet date would not be indicative
of conditions existing in respect of the
consumer at the balance sheet date and ad-

FIGURES FOR PREVIOUS YEAR

1.13 Comparative figures for the previous year shall

the same item has been adopted during the current
year.

JHSETTING

OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

I.'

6 In the balance sheet of a Board, assets and

"abilities
shall be set of against each other only
. when a legal right of offset exists. Payables to
-ne party shall therefore not be set off against
receivables from the same-party unless the Board
. as a legal right to offset the two.

r-

The second type consists of events that

provide evidence with respect to condltiof'S
that did not exist at the balance sheet date
but arose subsequent to that date. These
events should not result in adjustment of the
accounts. Some of these events however,
may be of such a nature that the omission
of their disclosure may result in misleading
statements. Examples of this type of event
(which . should not result in adjustment to
accounts but which do require disclosure)
are takeover of a licensee, loss from fire,
flood etc .

1.17 All events or transactions occuring after the

tanner.

1.18 The Revenue Account for a Board shall reflect

full amount of the loss, if any, to the Board due to
any natural calamities like cyclone, flood, etc.
recurring events like fire or possibly recurring
events like receipt of inferior grade of coal. No
part of the loss shall be deferred for write off over

(1)

Two types of subsequent events and transactions require consideration by the Board.

(2)

The first type consists of those events that

provide additional evidence with respect to
the conditions that existed at the date of
the balance sheet and affect the estimates
necessary for accrual etc. in the process of
preparing annual accounts. All information
that becomes available prior to the finalisation of the annual accounts should be used
in evaluating the conditions on which the
estimates were based. The annual accounts

of loans although huge arrears of interest and
depreciation remain to be charged to revenue.

1.15 Any amount received by a Board as consumers' contribution or deposu shall be accounted
through "Deposit for Deposit Works A/c" untii the
above tNO conditions for treating the amount as
Consumers' Contribution mentioned above have
been met. at which time the amount will be transferred to Consumers' 'Contribution Account. Amount. if anybecoming refundable shall be debted to
the 'Deposit for Deposit works A/c.

(1) Activities like flushing of pipes. acid

cleaning of boiler. acid cleaning of pipes,
steam blowing of lines, moisture drying

(2) Testing of individual
segments of the
plant for example testing of protective

etc. shall be deemed to be before commissioning.
(3) On the collective testing of the entire
plant (which is also known as rolling of

(6) On the receipt of

such a certificate, all

the assets at the new generating station
which are put to use shall be capitalised.
Cost of the assets shall be transferred to
Fixed Assets Accounts. In this regard
full cost of common facilities, assets end
underutilised assets shall also be capitalised.

1.23 Procedural matters connected with the accounting policy on depreciation on fixed assets are
set out in the following paragraphs.
General Framework for charging Depreciation

1.24 The general framework for charging

ciation is outlined below:

depre-

Commissioning of Transmission Lines & SubStations.

{1} The existing practice of charging on straight

line method shall continue.

1.19 Commissioning of transmission lines and

sub-stations also involve trial stage. However,
unlike generating stations, no revenue is generated
and the costs incurred are not very large during the
trial stage. No trial stage shall therefore be recognised for defining commissioning of transmission
lines and sub-stations.

(2) 90 per cent of the cost of a fixed asset shall

be depreciated over the 'estimated useful life
of the asset'.

1.20 A transmission line shall be deemed to have

been commissioned at the end of the month during
which it achieves an availability
factor which is
equal to or more than the "Average Availability
Factor of all other Transmission Lines of the Board".
1.21 Sub-stations shall also be deemed to have
been commissioned on achievement of the availability factor as in case of transmission lines. In both
cases, commissioning
shall be certified by the
highest technical authority of the Board.

(3) "Estimated

useful life of the asset'<shall be .

as prescribed by the Central Government. in

consultation
with the
Central Electricity
Authority.
as prescribed by the State Government in
respect of assets where the Central Government has not prescribed any period.
(4) No depreciation shall be provided on an asset
in the year in which it is first put to Use by
the Board.

~.;

(5) Depreciation shall be charged on an asset

even if during the year, it permanently ceases
to be used by the Board,
f

95
Periodic

Review

'Estimated

of Prescribed

useful

life'

, .25 Central Government shall periodically carry

out an exercise to assess the need for any change
in the 'estimated useful life of assets' prescribed by
it. required in view of techno!ogical changes in the
assets normally used by various Boards of the country. Based on the findings of the exercise. such
changes shall be made to the schedule of prescribed period of esti rnate d useful life of assets as are
considered necessary by the Central Government.
All changes to the schedule of prescribed period at
estimated useful life. shall be prospective and shall
be applicable only for depreciation
chargeable in
subsequent years.
Assets of Common

Retirement

Date

1 26 An ar ea where the concept of 'Assets of

common Retirement Date' would become operative
is subsequent additions at a geneiating plant. substations or transmission lines. resulting
in assets
which would be retired along with the assets installed earlier. although as such, the number of
years of estimated useful life of the newly added
assets would not expire by then. This concept is
illustrated

below :-

Example:
(1) Estirrated life of weter circulating
system is
say 25 years and generating plant also 25
ye3is.

(2) A totally new arrangement of water circulating system at a generating plant, felt necessary in say 11th year of the generaTing plant
with balance life 15 years (i.e. 25 years less
10 years expired)
(3) The water ciicu\atiJ"lg

system would have

normally been depreciated over 25 years.
However the expenditure on new water circulating system in this case would be required to be depreciated over the balance 15
years since it would not be of any use after
the generating
plant itself is retired in the
15th year from now.

Subsequent

Change in the Purpose of use of an

Asset
1.27 Any change in the purpose of use of an
asset shall be recognised only prospectively
for
charging depreciation in the years subsequent to
such change. For example, Building containing
Diesel Generating Sets is to be depreciated over

say 30 years, the DG sets are scrapped earlier since

they were obsolete in technology and the building is.
after some notifications. used for sav office pu rp.rses (for which estimated life is say 50 years). The
change in the es!imated useful life of the asset
owing to a change in the purpose for which the
asset is used, shall be recognised only for future
depreciation.
'\Near &- Tear during

Construction

State

1 28 !n a project

period of say 4 to 5 years,

assets which were constructed
in Scy first year
but lying idle until completion
of other assets,
do suffer wear and tear during the following 3 to 4
ve avs. No depreciation shall bs charged towards
such wear and tear of such idle assets at construction stage.
Assets Transferred

to Other

Divisions

Circles

1.29 In respect of the assets transferred betw~en

accounting units du ri ng the yea r the accou ntin
unit which held the assets at the beginning of the
year, shall charge full year's depreciation
on the
transferred asset and no depreciation on the as sets
shall be charged ior the year by the transferee locations (5).
Retirement.
of Assets

Scrapping.

Obsolescence

and sale

1.30 Procedural matters connected with the

accounting policies relating to retirement. scrapping
obsolescence and sale of assets are set out.in the
following

paragraphs.

Sale of Assets for which

written

down

value

is not known.
1.31 Fixed Assets sold by the Board for which
written down value is not known. shall be deemed
to have been sold without any loss or grain. The
written down value shall be deemed to be equal to

the sale proceed.

Provision

for Loss on Obsolescence

1.32 Provision shall be made for loss, if any.

expected to arise from the obsolescence. determined
by the Board of any ot its capital assets whether
in service or removed from service. Similar pi vision
shall be made for loss from obsolescence of capital

(3) Depreciation on all the balance assets

which are capitalised shall be reworked

(4)

Difference between the provisional depreciation and the reworked depreciation

shall be credited or debited (as the case
may be) to the Revenue Account for the
year in which final valuation of t sken
over assets is done Such debit or credit
shall be disclosed in the Revenue Account as Prior Period Gain or Charge.

1.34 The reworking of depreciation referred to in

the above paragraph shall also incorporate changes
If any made to the estimates of useful life of the
assets which were adopted for charging provisional
depreciation. This may be necessary when the State
Government has finally fixed the estimated u sc Iu l
life. If however the final estimate of useful life is
made after the reworking of depreciation then the
ch3rges in lile shall be recognised only for fUiure
depreciation without any retrospective reworking.

Disputed Claims under Warranty

for f-hpairs

1.35 Supplies/Contractors of capital equipments

may have provided warranty of repairs of assets.
Boards c aims under such warranties may get disputed by suppl:ers Contractors. Repairs expenditure
incurred by the Board for which reimbursement

2.9 On a proper consideration of those factors
the procedures requiring leo per cent measurement
in all cases of fuel receipt and consumption has
been modified in case of coal The modified procedure is discussed below;

Receipt of Coal
(1) Wherever adequate facilities including
spare equipment to meet the requirements during the period of equipment break
-done are available, full quantity of all
the receipts of coal should be weigheds.

.r

(2) Wherever adequate 'Neighing facilities

are ir-statlr-d but owing 10 a short period
of brakdo wn of weighi.,g facilt ies 15 to
20 per cent of the receipts during the
month remain unrne asu ed. the results
obtained for the (80 to 85 per cent)
receipts during lhe month which have
been weighed should be applied to the
unweighed wagons to estimate quantity
therein.
(3) Where adequate weighing facilities are
not existing such facil it ies should be
instilled.
In the intervening period coal
receipts durirg each month should be
quantified on the basis of a sampling
method.
A sample of receipts which are statistically
representative of all the receipts during
the month must be drawn each month.
The sample of wagons should be weighed
and the weighment recorded in a register
alongwirh the carrying capacity (including permissible overloading)
of the
wagon. Total of weiqhment should be
deducted from the total of carrying
capacity. The resultant figure would give
quantity of transit loss of coal.

Consumption
(')

of Coal

Where adequa'e we:ghment Ieci'ues (including spare equipment for use durin9 the period of breakdown) are avaiable to ensu re
that consumption during full period can be
weighed accuratetv.
the total consumption
should be quantified through actual Measurement/weighmet

(2) Where adequate weighment facilities are exitinq but are facing a breakdown for a short
period during 1 he month, the consu mptio n
during that period should be worked out on
the basis of formula or norms to be laid down
for that power station o n the lines de scriba d
in sub-para (4) below.
(3) Where facilities for weighment of coal consumption do not exist, such f;>cilities should
be installed.
In the intervenir q per iod. rhe
consumpnon. of coal should be estimated on
the basis of formulae or norms to be laid
down for that power station in the manner
described in sub- para (4) below.
(4) The basis for estimation of consumption
should be laid down aher reviewing plant
performance in a representative sample of
observations drawn from the current data on
consumption.

(5) The formulae should be fixed after considering all the relevant factors. An illustrative
list of the factors to be considered while fixing the formulae/norms is ;
(a) Quality of the fuel normally received.
(b) Specification of the fuel required.
(c) Plant design, boiler design etc.
(d) Age of the plant.
(e) Various options of fuel mix.

The transit loss so drived during the month

and total carrying capacity for weighed
receipts should be considered alo npwith
such transit loss
derived in similar
manner during, say. each of the preceding two months so as, to compute a
weighted percentage of transit loss.
Such a weighted percentage of transit loss should
be used for estimating the
total quantity
of coal received in the wagons (whether weighed or not weiqhed).

(f) Plant efficiency.

(6) It is vital that the 3nproach/method of fixing

formulae or norms, for estimatirg
the consumption of fuel, be uniform for all the power
plants of a Board.

(7) In this respect. involment of one or more independent technical/scientific

bod ies, technical representatives of suppliers etc. wou'd
ensure a fair and proper fixation of formulae
or norms.

separate account called 'Materials Cost
Variance'.

(10) The liability to be created on the recepit

of materials shall be made

(4) In case of items not covered by the

Standard Rate system, the receipts shall
be valued at Basic price plus Excise Duty
plus Sales Tax. In such cases, the issues shall be valued at the weighted average rate applicable to the closing stock
of the previous month. Where the closing stock of the previous month is nil,
the valuation of issues shall be at the
rate of first receipts of the month.

(6) Freight on materials purchased (wnether

incurred and biiled by supplier or incurred by the Board) shall not be treated as
materials cost and shall be recorded in

purpose.
(7) All other incidental costs such as packing charqes. Octroi etc shall also not be
treated as materials C0St and shall be recorded in separate accounts provided for
this purpose.
(8) Returns from out of the materials issued
in the past shall be valued at the issue

the materials are returned.
(9) The prescribed bases of valuation of issues and returns may lead to certain anomalies in stock values. Such anomalies,
if any, shall be removed at the end of

suppliers bill passed by the Board and
recognition of the liability for the net
amount due on that bill shall not be deferred till the actual discharge of the net
liability.

shall be provided for in the period in
which the shortages are observed.

Treatment

of Materials

Cost Variance

2.21 Under the standard rate system referred to

above, materials cost variance if any, in respect of
receipts at construction locations or at O&M locations shall not be charged to Revenue Account or
to Capital Works.
2.22 The balance in the "Materials Cost Variance
Account" at [he year-end shall be treated as follows:
(1) Credit balance shall be credited to a Reserve Called "Reserve for Materials Cost
Variance".

(2) Debit balance shall be debited

to the
"Reserve for Materials Cost Variance".
If as a result of such debit the net balance in this Reserve account is a debit
balance, the amount of debit balance
shall be charged to Revenue account for
the year.

2.23 Accounting treatment for materials cost

variance prescribed above assumes that the standard rates are fixed appropriately and that a system
exists for periodic revision of rates whenver significant variances are being observed.
2.24 The amount of materials cost variance recorded by construction divisions and circles and
treated on the above lines shall be shown by way
of note in the Fixed Assets Schedule in the Board's
annual accounts.

3.2 Usance bills may be issued by a Board under

Deferred Credit Scheme
Such bills may include
even the interest for future years. In a balance
sheet. such interest portion should be shown as a
deduction from th e amount of outstanding usance
bills.
Debentures

33 Debentures or any othet debt certificates issued as a collateral security shall not be recorded in
the books as a liability but be disclosed by way of

3.4 No provision need be made for the depreciation in the market value of securities
(bonds and
debentures or govern ment promissory notes) held
by the board as investments (i.e. market value be, ing lower than the cost of the investments)
since
it would be a fair assumption in the case of such
securities that the securities would be held till
maturity when full value of the security would be
realised.
However, there may be securities in respect of which such an assumption about holding
till maturity does not hold good.
No provision
shall be created even in such cases for depreciation
in the value of investments
Similarly no provision
for any appreciation in the market value of investments shall be made by a Board.

Cheques which are prepared

4. OTHER

ption to the above rule is the case of high tension

large supply consumers. In such cases, individual
bad debts can sometimes be large enough to affect
any overall percentage. Doubtfulness of balances
due from such consumers should be reviewed case
wise and if the doubtful amount exceeds the fixed
percentage, the amount of such excess should be
additionaliy provided for. However, if the doubtful
amount so determined is less than the fixed percentage, the fixed percentage should be nevertheless
provided as a measure of conservatism.

Dues From Consumers

4.2 A fixed percentage of dues from consumers

(except for a slight variation in the case of large
consumers discussed later) shall be maintained as
a provision for meeting debts which turn bad. This
will eliminate the need for casewise investigation
at the time of creating a provision. Such investigation can be conducted independently and in depth
at the time of actually writing off a debt. A detailed
study should be conducted periodically to ascertain
the appropriate percentage for each Board and to
I).
.odate the percentage so determined. One excemad", I,

year and (i.e. not yet issued to payee) will, in

accordance with the prescribed accounting
policy,
be debited to relevant liability account on preparation Of such cheques.
However. since such
cheques are not issued to payee and therefore liability not actually discharged, the total amount of
such cheques shall be disclosed in Board's Accounts under a separate account "Liability
under
Unissued Cheques".
Correspondingly,
the bank
balance shall be restored to the level existing before debiting such unissued cheques.
Provision

For Obsolescence

4.5 Provision shall be made every year to cover

the loss arising from technological obsolescence to
the extent such loss has been determined, in respect of fixed assets in use, construction stores or
operating stores in stock and assets under construction. Such provision shall be treated as a charge
against the revenue for the year.
Insurance

4.6 If a Board has not got its assets insured with

an outside insurer the fact shall be disclosed in
the Board's account.
4.7 Under the practice of self-insurance (where
the Board sets aside an amount as an insurance
premium, so that the amount so accumulated can
be used for meeting loss of assets on account of
fire, flood, cyclone etc.) the amount set aside
every year shall be treated as a charge against revenue. However, it needs to be ensured that the
