Oil and Gas production

On standalone basis, in FY’18 the Company’s domestic crude oil production level registered at 22.31 MMt against 22.25
MMt in FY’17. Oil production from onshore assets increased by 1.7% while offshore registered a decline of 0.3%.
Increase in onshore oil production was mainly due to various initiatives and early monetization of discoveries in
Ankleshwar, Cauvery (Madnam) and Rajahmundry (Keshnapalli West), etc. Onshore Crude Oil production has
registered an increase of 4.1% in last 2 years since 2015-16.
This turnaround in production has been achieved through revival of production from old and matured fields, production
from new fields including NELP blocks, increase in drilling of development wells, execution of more number of work-
over & well stimulation jobs and induction of new technologies.
Natural gas production (from domestic operated fields) during FY’18 has been 6.3% higher than the previous year (23.48
BCM against 22.09 BCM during FY’17). The Company’s onshore gas production increased by healthy 8.3% whereas
offshore production increased by 5.7%. Onshore gas production increased with all assets recording incremental gas
production; substantial gains were in Ankaleshwar, Assam, Rajahmundry and Karaikal.
Incremental gas production in offshore during 2017-18 was from Daman/C-26, Vasishta & S1 Development.
Your Company’s share in oil and gas production from PSC JVs were 3.13 MMT and 1.13 BCM respectively.

(Referred to in paragraph 7(i) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of
our report of even date)
i.
a. The Company has generally maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details
and situation of fixed assets.
b. As per the information and explanations given to us and on the basis of our examination of the records of the
Company, the fixed assets having substantial value, other than those which are underground/ submerged/
under joint operations have been physically verified by the management in a phased manner, which in our
opinion is reasonable, having regard to the size of Company and nature of its business. The reconciliation of
physically verified assets with the book records is in progress. Discrepancies noticed on the physical verification
and consequential adjustments are carried out on completion of reconciliation. According to information and
explanations given by the management and in our opinion, the same are not material.
c. On the basis of the information to the extent compiled by the Company pending the reconciliation of the
available records with the books of account and considering the voluminous nature and various locations,
we report that the title/lease deeds of immovable properties are held in the name of Company except for the

manner at reasonable intervals (excluding inventory lying with third parties, at some of the site-locations, inventory
under joint operations and material in transit) during the year by the management which did not reveal any material
discrepancies. However, in our opinion, procedures for physical verification of Stores and Spare parts, ascertainment
of discrepancies and carrying out of consequent accounting adjustments need to be made compliant with internal
guidelines of the Company and further strengthened so as to make the same commensurate with the size of the
Company and the nature of its business.
iii. The Company has not granted loans, secured or unsecured to any companies, firms, limited liability partnerships or

Annexure - 3 to Independent Auditors’ Report

(Referred to in paragraph 7 (iii) (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’
Section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
To the Members of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (“the
Company”) as of 31st March, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the
Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of
reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on
our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over
Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Act,
to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls
and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent Auditors’ Report 159

 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management, override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2018,
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

circumstances relevant to each transaction.

14.1 During the financial year 2010-11, the Oil Marketing Companies, nominees of the GoI recovered USD 32.07 million
(equivalent to `2,081.98 million) ONGC’s share as per directives of GoI in respect of Joint Operation - Panna
Mukta and Tapti. The recovery is towards certain observations raised by auditors appointed by the Director General
of Hydrocarbons (DGH) under Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the period 2002-03 to 2005-06 in respect
of cost and profit petroleum share payable to GoI. BGEPIL along with RIL (“Claimants”) have served a notice of
arbitration on the GoI in respect of dispute, differences and claims arisen in connection with the terms of Panna,
Mukta and Tapti PSCs. Since the Company is not a party to the arbitration proceedings, it had requested MoP&NG
that in case of an arbitral award the same be made applicable to ONGC also, as a constituent of contractor for
both the PSCs. Subsequently, vide letter dated July 4, 2011 MoP&NG has advised ONGC not to participate in the
arbitration initiated by RIL and BGEPIL under Panna Mukta and Tapti PSCs. MoP&NG has also stated that in case
of an arbitral award, the same will be applicable to ONGC also as a constituent of the contractor for both the PSCs.
A Final Partial Award (FPA) was pronounced by the Tribunal in the arbitration matter between RIL, BGEPIL and
Union of India.
RIL and BGEPIL the JO partners have challenged the FPA before the English Commercial Court. Pending final
quantification of liabilities by the Arbitration Tribunal and decision of English Commercial Court, the same has
been shown as Receivable from GoI under ‘Advance Recoverable in Cash. (Figures in ` are restated).
14.2 In Ravva Joint Operation, the demand towards additional profit petroleum raised by Government of India (GoI),
due to differences in interpretation of the provisions of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in respect of
computation of Post Tax Rate of Return (PTRR), based on the decision of the Malaysian High Court setting aside
an earlier arbitral tribunal award in favor of operator, was disputed by the operator M/s Vedanta Ltd (erstwhile M/s
Cairn India Ltd). The Company is not a party to the dispute but has agreed to abide by the decision applicable to
the operator. The Company is carrying an amount of `10,896.48 million (equivalent to USD 167.84 million) after
adjustments for interest and exchange rate fluctuations which has been recovered by GoI, this includes interest
amounting to USD 54.88 million (`3,562.81 million). The Company has made impairment provision towards this
recovery made by the GoI.
In subsequent legal proceedings, the Appellate Authority of the Honorable Malaysian High Court of Kuala Lumpur
had set aside the decision of the Malaysian High Court and the earlier decision of arbitral tribunal in favour of
operator was restored, against which the GoI has preferred an appeal before the Federal Court of Malaysia. The
Federal Court of Malaysia, vide its order dated October 11, 2011, has dismissed the said appeal of the GoI.
The Company has taken up the matter regarding refund of the recoveries made in view of the favorable judgment
of the Federal Court of Malaysia with MoP&NG. However, according to a communication dated January 13, 2012,
MoP&NG expressed the view that ONGC’s proposal would be examined when the issue of ONGC carry under
Ravva PSC is decided in its entirety by the Government along with other partners.

194
 In view of the perceived uncertainties in obtaining the refund at this stage, the impairment made in the books as
above has been retained and netted off against the amount recoverable as above in the Financial Statements for the
year ending March 31, 2018. (Figures in ` are restated).

19.3 Matter of Dispute on Delivery Point of Panna-Mukta gas between Government of India and PMT JO Partners arose
due to differing interpretation of relevant PSC clauses. According to the JO Partners, Delivery Point for Panna-
Mukta gas is at Offshore, however, MoP&NG and GAIL maintained that the delivery point is onshore at Hazira.
The gas produced from Panna-Mukta fields was transported through Company’s pipelines. Owing to the delivery
point dispute neither the seller (PMT JO) nor the buyer of gas (GAIL) was paying any compensation to ONGC for
usage of its pipeline for gas transportation.
Hon’ble Gujarat High Court decided that the Panna Mukta oil fields from where the movement of goods is
occasioned fall within the customs frontiers of India. Consequently, the sale of goods cannot be said to have taken
place in the course of import of goods into the territory of India. The state Government of Gujarat has filed a
petition with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India against the decision of Hon’ble Gujarat High Court.
Since the said matter of determination of delivery point is pending with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the
amount is maintained in the escrow accounts by the JO Partners.

24.2 The Company estimates provision for decommissioning as per the principles of Ind AS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ for the future decommissioning of Oil and Gas assets at the end of their economic
lives. Most of these decommissioning activities would be in the future for which the exact requirements that may
have to be met when the removal events occur are uncertain. Technologies and costs for decommissioning are
constantly changing. The timing and amounts of future cash flows are subject to significant uncertainty. The
economic life of the Oil and Gas assets is estimated on the basis of long term production profile of the relevant Oil
and Gas asset. The timing and amount of future expenditures are reviewed annually, together with rate of inflation
for escalation of current cost estimates and the interest rate used in discounting the cash flows.

42.5 Defined benefit plans

42.5.1 Brief Description: A general description of the type of Employee Benefits Plans is as follows:
42.5.2 All the employee benefit plans of the Company are run as Group administration plans (Single Employer
Scheme) including employees seconded to ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), 100% subsidiary.
42.5.3 Gratuity
15 days salary for each completed year of service. Vesting period is 5 years and the payment is restricted to
`2 million on superannuation, resignation, termination, disablement or on death.
Scheme is funded through own Gratuity Trust. The liability for gratuity as above is recognized on the basis of
actuarial valuation.
42.5.4 Post-Retirement Medical Benefits
The Company has Post-Retirement Medical benefit (PRMB), under which the retired employees and their
spouses are provided medical facilities in the Company hospitals/empanelled hospitals. They can also avail
treatment as out-patient. The liability for the same is recognized annually on the basis of actuarial valuation.
Full medical benefits on superannuation and on voluntary retirement are available subject to the completion of
minimum 20 years of service and 50 years of age.
An employee should have put in a minimum of 15 years of service rendered in continuity in ONGC at the time
of superannuation to be eligible for availing post-retirement medical facilities.
42.5.5 Terminal Benefits
At the time of superannuation, employees are entitled to settle at a place of their choice and they are eligible for
Settlement Allowance.
42.5.6 These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity
risk and salary risk.
Investment risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by
reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. When there is a deep market
for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for these
plans, investments are made in government securities, debt instruments, Short term debt instruments, Equity
instruments and Asset Backed, Trust Structured securities as per notification of Ministry of Finance.
Interest risk A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an
increase in the return on the plan’s investments.

Standalone Financial Statements 215

 Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the
plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

No other post - retirement benefits are provided to these employees.

In respect of the above plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the
defined benefit obligation were carried out as at March 31, 2018 by a member firm of the Institute of Actuaries
of India. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service
cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
42.6 Other long term employee benefits

entire life of the related obligation.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is
unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Sensitivity due to mortality & withdrawals are not material & hence impact of change not calculated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated
using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the
defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

45.1 Capital Management
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to:

stakeholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
• Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

dividends to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The capital structure of the Company consists of total equity (Note no. 20 & 21). The Company is not subject to any
externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company’s financial management committee reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review,
the committee considers the cost of capital, risks associated with each class of capital requirements and maintenance of
adequate liquidity.

45.3 Financial risk management objectives

While ensuring liquidity is sufficient to meet Company’s operational requirements, the Company’s financial management
committee also monitors and manages key financial risks relating to the operations of the Company by analyzing exposures by
degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

45.4 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future performance of a
business. The major components of market risk are commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
The primary commodity price risks that the Company is exposed to include international crude oil prices that could adversely affect
the value of the Company’s financial assets or expected future cash flows. Substantial or extended decline in international prices of
crude oil and natural gas may have an adverse effect on the Company’s reported results.

45.5 Foreign currency risk management

Sale price of crude oil is denominated in United States dollar (USD) though billed and received in Indian Rupees (INR). The Company
is, therefore, exposed to foreign currency risk principally out of INR appreciating against USD. Foreign currency risks on account of
receipts / revenue and payments / expenses are managed by netting off naturally-occurring opposite exposures through export earnings,
wherever possible and carry unhedged exposures for the residual considering the natural hedge available to it from domestic sales.

236
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in different foreign currencies and consequently exposed to exchange rate
fluctuations. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters. The carrying amounts of the Company’s
foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows.

45.5.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is principally exposed to foreign currency risk against USD. Sensitivity of profit or loss arises mainly from
USD denominated receivables and payables.
As per management’s assessment of reasonable possible changes in the exchange rate of +/- 5% between USD-INR
currency pair, sensitivity of profit or loss only on outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at the period
end is presented below:
(` in million)

USD sensitivity at year end Year ended Year ended

Liabilites:
Weakening of INR by 5% (8,860.93) (3,341.60)
Strengthening of INR by 5% 8,860.93 3,341.60

The Sensitivity of Revenue from operation to change in +/- Re. 1 in exchange rate between INR-USD currency pair is
presented as under: (` in million)

Sensitivity of Revenue from operation 2017-2018 2016-2017

Impact on Revenue from operation for exchange rate (+/-) 10,041.06 (+/-) 8,640.13

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the
exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

45.5.2 Forward foreign exchange contracts

The Company has not entered into any forward foreign exchange contracts during the reporting period.

45.6 Interest rate risk management

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the Company has borrowed funds benchmarked to overnight
MCLR, Treasury Bills and USD LIBOR. The Company’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial
liabilities are detailed in note no. 27.2.

Standalone Financial Statements 237

 45.7 Price risks
The Company’s equity securities price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either at
fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s equity investments in IOC and GAIL are
publicly traded.
Investment of short-term surplus funds of the Company in liquid schemes of mutual funds provides high level of liquidity
from a portfolio of money market securities and high quality debt and categorized as ‘low risk’ product from liquidity and
interest rate risk perspectives.

45.7.1 Price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity of profit or loss in respect of investments in equity shares and mutual funds at the end of the reporting
period for +/-5% change in price and net asset value is presented below:
• Other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2018 would increase/ decrease by `13,596.66 million
(for the year ended March 31, 2017 would increase/ decrease by `14,478.68 million) as a result of 5% changes in
fair value of equity investments measured at FVTOCI; and
• As there was no investment in mutual funds as on 31st March, 2018, changes in net asset value of investment are
not applicable for the year ended March 31, 2018 (For the year ended March 31, 2017 would increase/decrease by
`1,817.16 million as a result of 5% changes in net asset value of investment in mutual funds).

45.8 Interest rate risk management

The Company invests the surplus fund generated from operations in term deposits with banks and mutual funds. Bank
deposits are made for a period of upto 12 months carry interest rate as per prevailing market interest rate. Considering
these bank deposits are short term in nature, there is no significant interest rate risk. Average interest earned on term
deposit and a mutual fund for the year ended March 31, 2018 was 6.16%.

45.9 Credit risk management

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, investments carried at amortized cost and deposits with banks as well as
customers including receivables. Credit risk management considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking
information including indicators like external credit rating (as far as available), macro-economic information (such as
regulatory changes, government directives, market interest rate).
Major customers, being public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) and gas companies having highest credit ratings,
carry negligible credit risk. Concentration of credit risk to any other counterparty did not exceed 4.17% (previous year
3.19%) of total monetary assets at any time during the year.
Credit exposure is managed by counterparty limits for investment of surplus funds which is reviewed by the Management.
Investments in liquid plan/schemes are with public sector Asset Management Companies having highest rating. For
banks, only high rated banks are considered for placement of deposits.
Bank balances are held with reputed and creditworthy banking institutions.
The Company is exposed to default risk in relation to financial guarantees given to banks / vendors on behalf of subsidiaries
/ joint venture companies for the estimated amount that would be payable to the third party for assuming the obligation.
The Company’s maximum exposure in this regard on as at March 31, 2018 is `441,956.86 million (As at March 31, 2017 is
`443,308.48 million).

45.10 Liquidity risk management
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents including bank deposits and
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations when due.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash
flows. In addition, liquidity management also involves projecting cash flows considering level of liquid assets necessary to
meet obligations by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets & liabilities and monitoring balance sheet liquidity
ratios.
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with
agreed repayment periods. The information included in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash
flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include
both interest and principal cash flows. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may
be required to pay.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments, Assumptions and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Inherent in the application of many of the accounting policies used in preparing the Consolidated Ind AS Financial
Statements is the need for Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses. Actual outcomes could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.
Key source of judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the Consolidated Ind AS
Financial Statements which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year, are in respect of functional currency, Oil and Gas reserves, impairment, useful lives of Property,
Plant and Equipment, depletion of oil and gas assets, decommissioning provision, employee benefit obligations,
provisions, provision for income tax, measurement of deferred tax assets and contingent assets & liabilities.
5.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (Refer note 5.2), that the
Management have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the significant
effect on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements.
(a) Determination of functional currency
Currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group’s entities operates (“the functional
currency”) is Indian Rupee (`) in which the entities primarily generates and expends cash. However, primary
economic environment in which OVL group (ONGC Videsh Ltd and its subsidiaries) is US Dollar which is
the currency in which it primarily generates and expends cash and accordingly the functional currency of OVL
group has been assessed as US Dollar.

The Group uses the services of third party agencies for due diligence and it gets the reserves of its assets audited
by third party periodically by internationally reputed consultants who adopt latest industry practices for their
evaluation.
(d) Determination of cash generating unit (CGU)
The Group is engaged mainly in the business of oil and gas exploration and production in Onshore and Offshore.
In case of onshore assets, the fields are using common production/transportation facilities and are sufficiently
economically interdependent to constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU). Accordingly, impairment test of all
onshore fields in India is performed in aggregate of all those fields at the Asset Level. In case of Offshore Assets, a
field is generally considered as CGU except for fields which are developed as a Cluster, for which common facilities
are used, in which case the impairment testing is performed in aggregate for all the fields included in the cluster.
(e) Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates
of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in
these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

23.3 Matter of Dispute on Delivery Point of Panna-Mukta gas between Government of India and PMT JO Partners arose
due to differing interpretation of relevant PSC clauses. According to the JO Partners, Delivery Point for Panna-
Mukta gas is at Offshore, however, MoP&NG and GAIL maintained that the delivery point is onshore at Hazira.
The gas produced from Panna-Mukta fields was transported through Company’s pipelines. Owing to the delivery
point dispute neither the seller (PMT JO) nor the buyer of gas (GAIL) was paying any compensation to ONGC for
usage of its pipeline for gas transportation.
Hon’ble Gujarat High Court decided that the Panna Mukta oil fields from where the movement of goods is
occasioned fall within the customs frontiers of India Consequently, the sale of goods cannot be said to have taken
place in the course of import of goods into the territory of India. The state Government of Gujarat has filed a
petition with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India against the decision of Hon’ble Gujarat High Court.
Since the said matter of determination of delivery point is pending with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the
amount is maintained in the escrow accounts by the JO Partners. Deposits in escrow account includes restricted
bank balance of ` 1.297.70 million (as at March 31, 2017 ` 1.249.18 million) in respect of PMT JO.

46.5.2 All the employee benefit plans of the Company are run as Group administration plans (Single Employer
Scheme) including employees seconded to ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), 100% subsidiary.
46.5.3 Gratuity
15 days salary for each completed year of service. Vesting period is 5 years and the payment is restricted to
`2 million on superannuation, resignation, termination, disablement or on death.
Scheme is funded through own Gratuity Trust. The liability for gratuity as above is recognized on the basis of
actuarial valuation.
46.5.4 Post-Retirement Medical Benefits
The Group has Post-Retirement Medical benefit (PRMB), under which the retired employees, their spouses and
dependent parents are provided medical facilities in the Group hospitals/empanelled hospitals up on payment
of one time prescribed contribution by the employees. They can also avail treatment as out-patient. The liability
for the same is recognized annually on the basis of actuarial valuation. Full medical benefits on superannuation
and on voluntary retirement are available subject to the completion of minimum 20 years of service and 50 years
of age.
An employee should have put in a minimum of 15 years of service rendered in continuity in ONGC at the time
of superannuation to be eligible for availing post-retirement medical facilities
46.5.5 Terminal Benefits
At the time of superannuation, employees are entitled to settle at a place of their choice and they are eligible for
Settlement Allowance.
46.5.6 Pension
The employees covered by the Pension Plan of the Group are entitled to receive monthly pension for life.
46.5.7 Ex-gratia
The ex-employees of Group covered under the Scheme are entitled to get ex-gratia based on the grade at the
time of their retirement. The benefit will be paid to eligible employees till their survival, and after that, till the
survival of their spouse.
46.5.8 These plans typically expose the Group to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity
risk and salary risk.
Investment risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by
reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. When there is a deep market
for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for these
plans, investments are made in government securities, debt instruments, Short term debt instruments, Equity
instruments and Asset Backed, Trust Structured securities as per notification of Ministry of Finance.
Interest risk A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an
increase in the return on the plan’s investments.
Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the
plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the
assumptions may be correlated. Sensitivity due to mortality & withdrawals are not material & hence impact of

49.1 Capital Management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to:

• Safeguard its ability to continue as going concern so that the Group is able to provide maximum return to
stakeholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
• Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group maintains its financial framework to support the pursuit of value growth for shareholders, while ensuring a
secure financial base. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends
to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in note 28 and 29 offset by cash and bank
balances) and total equity (Refer Note 25 and 26).
The Group’s financial management committees review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review,
the committee considers the cost of capital, risks associated with each class of capital requirements and maintenance of
adequate liquidity.

Interest rate swap contracts

The subsidiary company OVL is engaged in E&P business outside India. Its revenues of crude oil and natural gas
are principally denominated in USD. Further, price benchmarks wherever applicable are also principally in USD.
The Company has therefore swapped the coupon and the principal amount of 8.54 % Unsecured Redeemable
Debenture (face value of ` 3700 Million) into USD.
In respect of subsidiary company HPCL,
Company has long-term foreign currency syndicated loans with floating rate, which expose the company to cash
flow interest rate risk. The borrowings at floating rate were denominated in USD. The Company manages its cash
flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Under these swaps, the Company agrees with
other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (i.e. quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and
floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts. Company monitors
the interest rate movement and manages the interest rate risk based on the Company’s Forex Risk Management
Policy. The Company also has a Forex Risk Management Cell (FRMC) which actively review the forex and interest
rate exposures. The Company does not uses derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
‘The Company’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate
risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a
change in market interest rates.
Following is the derivative financial instruments to hedge the interest rate risk as of dates:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonably possible change of 25 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/
(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The indicative 25 basis point (0.25%) movement is
directional and does not reflect management forecast on interest rate movement.
This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

The Group invests the surplus fund generated from operations in term deposits with banks and mutual funds.
Bank deposits are made for a period of upto 12 months carry interest rate as per prevailing market interest rate.

earned on term deposit and a mutual fund for the year ended March 31, 2018 was 6.16%.
49.7 Price risks
The Company’s equity securities price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either at
fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s equity investments in IOC and GAIL
are publicly traded.
Investment of short-term surplus funds of the Group in liquid schemes of mutual funds provides high level of
liquidity from a portfolio of money market securities and high quality debt and categorized as ‘low risk’ product
from liquidity and interest rate risk perspectives.
