The Company creates a provision when there is presentobligation as a result of a past event that probablyrequires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation such asproduct warranty costs. A disclosure for a contingentliability is made when there is a possible obligation ora present obligation that may, but probably will not,require an outflow of resources. When there is a possibleobligation or a present obligation in respect of which thelikelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provisionor disclosure is made.
The company has leased out its assets and such leaseswhere the company has substantially retained all the risksand rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases.Lease income on such operating leases are recognised inthe statement of profit & loss on a straight line basis overthe lease term in a manner which is representative of thetime pattern in which benefit derived from the use of theleased asset is diminished. Initial direct costs are recognisedas an expense in the statement of profit & loss in the periodin which they are incurred.
Under operating lease, the asset is capitalised withinproperty plant & equipment and depreciated over itsuseful economic life. Therefore, Ind AS 116 does not have animpact for leases where the company is the lessor.
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term asthe non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with anyoption to extend or terminate the lease. The Company'slease asset primarily consists of building. The companyassesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inceptionof contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contractconveys the right to control the use of an identified assetfor a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a contract conveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Company has substantially all the economicbenefits from use of the asset through the periodof the lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Companyrecognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a correspondinglease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is alessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less(short-term leases), and lease contract for which theunderlying asset is of low value (low-value assets). For theseshort-term, the Company recognizes the lease paymentsas an operating expense on a straight-line basis over theterm of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, whichcomprises the initial measurement of the lease liabilityadjusted plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-useassets are depreciated from the commencement date ona straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term anduseful life of the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present valueof the future lease payments. The lease payments arediscounted using the interest rate of cost of capital. Thelease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasingthe carrying amount to reflect interest on the leaseliability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect thelease payments made.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, theCompany uses its incremental borrowing rate at the leasecommencement date because the interest rate implicit inthe lease is not readily determinable.
Grants and subsidies from the government are recognizedwhen there is reasonable assurance that
(i) the company will comply with the conditions attachedto them, and
(ii) the grant/subsidy will be received.
When the grant or subsidy relates to revenue, it isrecognized as income on a systematic basis in thestatement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessaryto match them with the related costs, which they areintended to compensate. Where the grant relates to anasset, it is recognized as deferred income and transferto income in equal amounts over the expected usefullife of the related asset.
Where the company receives non-monetary grants,the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisitioncost. In case a non-monetary asset is given free of cost,it is recognized at a nominal value.
Provision is made for the amount of any dividenddeclared, being appropriately authorised and no longerat the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of thereporting period but not distributed at the end of thereporting period.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are (a)recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financialstatements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified itsfinancial instruments into the three levels prescribed the Indian accounting standards. Explanation of each level as follows :-
Level - 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted price. This includes mutual funds & listed Equity shares thathave quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level - 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example trade bond, over-the-counterderivatives) is determined using valuation technique which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little aspossible on entity -specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value of instrument are observable, the instrument isincluded in Level-2.
Level - 3 If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
During the year under consideration there is no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 hierarchy.
Mutual funds are valued at the price quoted in active market at the closing of reporting date.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payable, other financial assets/liabilities, loans and cash & cash equivalents areconsidered to be the same as their fair values.
The Company's management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company. These risksinclude market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Credit Risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to theCompany. The company usually deals with creditworthy counterparties and obtain sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as ameans of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The exposure is continuously monitored.
The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses prescribed by Ind AS 109, which permitsthe use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The Company has computed expected credit lossesbased on a provision matrix which uses historical credit loss experience of the Company. Forward-looking information(including macroeconomic information) has been incorporated into the determination of expected credit losses.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are 'cash and cash equivalents' and cash flows that are generated from operations.The Company has no outstanding term borrowings.

Additionally, the Company has sizeable surplus funds given as Inter Corporated Deposit receivable on demand tosubsidiary companies ensuring safety of capital and availability of liquidity if and when required.
