3. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, ContingentAssets and Commitments(a) General
Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation and a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation. If the effectof the time value of money is material, the amountof a provision shall be the present value of expenseexpected to be required to settle the obligationProvisions are therefore discounted, when effect ismaterial, The discount rate shall be pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessment of time value ofmoney and risk specific to the liability. Unwinding ofthe discount is recognized in the Statement of Profitand Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed ateach balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflectthe current best estimate.
(b) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there isa possible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within the controlof the Company or a present obligation that arisesfrom past events where it is either not probable thatan outflow of resources will be required to settle ora reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.Information on contingent liability is disclosed in theNotes to the Financial Statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises frompast events and whose existence will be confirmedonly by the occurrence or non-occurrence of oneor more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the entity, Contingent assets are notrecognized, but are disclosed in the notes. However,when the realization of income is virtually certain, thenthe related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but itis recognized as an asset.
4 Significant management judgement inapplying accounting policies and estimationuncertainty
The preparation of the Company's financialstatements requires management to makejudgements, estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assetsand liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date
of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptionsare continuously evaluated and are based onmanagement's experience and other factors,including expectations of future events that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimatescould result in outcomes that require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of assets orliabilities affected in future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the followingareas where significant judgements, estimates andassumptions are required. Further information oneach of these areas and how they impact the variousaccounting policies are described below and alsoin the relevant notes to the financial statements.Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
a) Judgements
In the process of applying the company's accountingpolicies, management has made the followingjudgements, which have the most significant effect onthe amounts recognized in the financial statements:
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinarycourse of business in relation to claims against thecompany, including legal, contractor, land accessand other claims. By their nature, contingencies willbe resolved only when one or more uncertain futureevents occur or fail to occur. The assessment of theexistence, and potential quantum, of contingenciesinherently involves the exercise of significant judgmentsand the use of estimates regarding the outcome offuture events.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can berecognized is based on an assessment of theprobability that future taxable income will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differencesand tax loss carry-forward can be utilized. In addition,significant judgement is required in assessing theimpact of any legal or economic limits or uncertaintiesin various tax jurisdictions.
b) Estimates and Assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and otherkey sources of estimation uncertainty at the reportingdate that have a significant risk of causing a materialadjustment to the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities within the next financial year, are describedbelow.
The Company based its assumptions and estimates onparameters available when the financial statementswere prepared. Existing circumstances andassumptions about future developments, however,may change due to market change or circumstancesarising beyond the control of the Company. Suchchanges are reflected in the assumptions when theyoccur.
The Company reviews its estimate of the useful livesof tangible/intangible assets at each reporting date,based on the expected utility of the assets.
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post¬employment benefits and the present value of suchobligation are determined using actuarial valuations.An actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actual developmentsin the future.
These include the determination of the discount rate,future salary increases, mortality rates and futurepension increases. In view of the complexities involved
in the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes inthese assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed ateach reporting date.
The Company estimates the net realizable valuesof inventories, taking into account the most reliableevidence available at each reporting date.
When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active marketsshows at cost.
The company does not have any potential equity shares and thus, weighted average number of shares forcomputation of basic EPS and diluted EPS remains same.
Note 33: Transition to IND AS H6
As a lessee The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land. The Company assesses whethera contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Vesting occurs uponcompletion of five years of service.
b. Plan typically exposes the company toactuarial risks such as:
investment risks, interest rate risk, longevity risk andsalary risk.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability(denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated usinga discount risk which is determined by reference tomarket yields at the end of the reporting period ongovernment bonds. Currently, for the plan in India, ithas relatively balanced mix of investments in Insurancerelated products.
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase theplan liability; however, this will be partially offset by anincrease in the return on the plan's debt.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liabilityis calculated by reference to the best estimate of themortality of plan participants both during and aftertheir employment. An increase in the life expectancyof the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
The present value of the defined plan liability iscalculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of theplan participants will increase the plan's liability.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to theemployees.

Valuation techniques with unobservable inputs. Thislevel of hierarchy includes items measured usinginputs that are not based on observable marketdata (unobservable inputs). Fair value determined inwhole or in part, using a valuation model based onassumptions that are neither supported by prices fromobservable current market transactions in the sameinstruments nor based on available market data.The main item in this category are unquoted equityinstruments.
The fair value of the financial assets are determined atthe amount that would be received to sell an asset inan orderly transaction between market participants.The following methods and assumptions were used toestimate the fair values:
Fair value is determined by reference to quotes fromthe financial institutions, i.e.. Net asset value (NAV) forinvestments in mutual funds declared by mutual fundhouse.
Fair value is derived from quoted market prices inactive markets.
Fair value is derived on the basis of income approach,in this approach the discounted cash flow method isused to capture the present value of the expectedfuture economic benefits to be derived from theownership of these investments.
Note 42: Financial Risk Management
The Company's management monitors and managesthe financial risks relating to the operations of theCompany. These risks include market risk (includingcurrency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk),credit risk and liquidity risk.

Future specificmarket movements can not be normally predictedwith reasonable accuracy.
The Company's functional currency in IndianRupees (INR). The Company undertakes transactionsdenominated in the foreign currencies; consequently,exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Volatilityin exchange rates affects the Company's revenuefrom export markets and the costs of imports, primarilyin relation to raw material. The Company is exposed toexchange rate risk under its trade and debt portfolio.
Adverse movements in the exchange rate betweenthe Rupee and any relevant foreign currency result'sin the increase in the Company's overall debt positionsin Rupee terms without the Company having incurredadditional debt and favorable movements in theexchange rates will conversely result in reduction inthe Company's receivable in foreign currency.
