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 to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects current market assessment of time value ofmoney and, where appropriate, the risks specific to theliability. Unwinding of the discount is recognized in theStatement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost. Provisionsare reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted toreflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is apossible obligation arising from past events, the existenceof which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events notwholly within the control of the Company. Claims againstthe Company where the possibility of any outflow ofresources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed ascontingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognized in financialstatements since this may result in the recognition ofincome that may never be realized. However, when therealization of income is virtually certain, then the relatedasset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
The basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computedby dividing the net profit/(loss) after tax for the yearattributable to the equity shareholders by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstanding duringthe year. The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period is adjusted for events ofbonus issue and share split, if any that have changedthe number of equity shares outstanding, without acorresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, net profit/(loss) after tax for the year attributable to the equityshareholders and the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the year are adjusted for theeffects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprisecash at bank and in hand, including fixed deposit withoriginalmaturity period of three months or less and short¬term highly liquid investments with an original maturity ofthree months or less, that are readily convertible into cashwhich are subject to insignificant risk of changes in valueand are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cashcommitments.

Note 1(B) Significant AccountingJudgements and Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformitywith Ind AS requires management to make judgments,estimates and assumptions that affect the application ofaccounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, income and expenses. Uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomes thatrequire a material adjustment to the carrying amount ofassets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed onan ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimatesare recognized in the period in which the estimates arerevised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas ofestimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effecton the amounts recognized in the financial statementsare included in the following notes.
(i) Useful Lives of Property, Plant &Equipment:
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significantproportion of the asset base of the Company. Thecharge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived afterdetermining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life.The useful lives of the Company’s assets are determinedby the management at the time the asset is acquiredand reviewed periodically, including at each financial yearend. The lives are based on historical experience withsimilar assets as well as anticipation of future events,which may impact their life, such as changes in technicalor commercial obsolescence arising from changes orimprovements in production or from a change in marketdemand of the product or service output of the asset.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plans and CompensatedAbsences:
The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensatedabsences and the present value of the defined benefitobligation are based on actuarial valuation using theprojected unit credit method. An actuarial valuationinvolves making various assumptions that may differ fromactual developments in the future. These include thedetermination of the discount rate, future salary increasesand mortality rates.
Due to the complexities involved in the valuation andits long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation ishighly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Allassumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
(iii) Expected Credit Losses on FinancialAssets:
The impairment provisions of financial assets are based onassumptions about risk of default and expected timing ofcollection. The Company uses judgment in making theseassumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairmentcalculation, based on the Company’s past history,customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditionsas well as forward looking estimates at the end of eachreporting period.
(iv) Fair Value measurement of FinancialInstruments:
When the fair values of financials assets and financialliabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets,their fair value is measured using valuation techniques,including the discounted cash flow model, which involvevarious judgements and assumptions.
The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respectiveassumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period and may not be representative of the actual change. It is basedon a change in the key assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. When calculating the sensitivity tothe assumption, the method (Projected Unit Credit Method) used to calculate the liability recognized in the balancesheet has been applied. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not changecompared with the previous period.

liabilities
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is asignificant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting datewith the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-lookinginformation such as:
i. Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
ii. Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
iii. Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability tomeet its obligations,
iv. Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
v. Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third-partyguarantees or credit enhancements.
Financial assets are written off when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engagein a repayment plan with the Company.
