Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result ofpast events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amountcan be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure requiredto settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine thepresent value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and therisks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interestexpense.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but theirexistence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events notwholly within the control of the Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms offuture outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. The Company doesnot recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibilityof an inflow of economic benefits to the entity. Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statementssince this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisationof income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised.
k) Revenue recognition
The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probablethat future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of theCompany's activities as described below
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to ourcustomers and there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The performance obligations in our contractsare fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on customerterms.
Sale of Service Income is recognised on rendering of related services.

Revenue in respect of insurance/other claims, etc., is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that theultimate collection will be made.
Dividends are generally recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive paymentis established.
l) Employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled whollywithin 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognisedin respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amountsexpected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months aremeasured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided byemployees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) defined contribution plans such as provident fund.
Defined Benefit obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. Thedefined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method as perRequirement of Ind AS -19 - Employee Benefit.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cashoutflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that haveterms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefitobligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statementof Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptionsare recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are includedin retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Defined Contribution Plans such as Provident Fund, etc., are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss asincurred.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normalretirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. TheCompany recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Company can nolonger withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the Company recognises costs for a restructuringthat is within the scope of Ind AS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of anoffer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the numberof employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of thereporting period are discounted to present value.
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Company's functional andpresentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the prevailing exchange rates on the transactiondates. Realised gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at the year-end are translated at the year-end exchangerates and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translatedusing the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
n) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is orcontains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of timein exchange for consideration.
The Company recognises a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjustedfor any lease payment made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct cost incurred and anestimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the siteon which it is located, less any lease incentive received.
The ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date tothe earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated usefullives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of Property, Plant and Equipment. In addition,the ROU asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurementsof the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at thecommencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readilydetermined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incrementalborrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Company has elected not to recognise right-to-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term lease thathave a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the leasepayments associated with these leases as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
o) Income taxes
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable incomebased on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributableto temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising betweenthe tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statement. Deferred incometax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end ofthe reporting period and are excepted to apply when the related deferred income tax assets is realised or thedeferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, only if, itis probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current taxassets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax
assets and tax liabilities are off set where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intendseither to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that itrelates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is alsorecognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
p) Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Company
• weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonuselements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to takeinto account:
• the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equityshares, and
• the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assumingthe conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q) Impairment of Assets:
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset maybe impaired based on internal/external factors. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost ofasset exceeds its recoverable Value. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of Profit and Loss in theyear in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognized in earlier accounting periodis reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. After impairment, depreciationis provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

41.1 Accounting Classifications & Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are measured at the amount at which the instrument could beexchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
All financial instruments are initially recognized and subsequently re-measured at fair value or amortized cost asdescribed below :
1. Fair values of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, othercurrent liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carryingamounts largely due to short-term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based onparameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on theevaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
The company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company'srisk management framework. The company's risk management policies are established to identify and analysethe risks faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Risk managementpolicies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the company's activities.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customercontract, leading to a financial loss. The carrying amount of following financial assets represents the maximumcredit exposure.
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. To manage credit risk in respect of trade receivables, the Companyperiodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, currenteconomic trends and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The company has limited credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents as the balances are maintained withbanks with high credit rating. Hence, these are low risk items.
The company evaluates the recoverability of Other financial assets at each reporting date and the same arewritten off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where recoveries are made, these are recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Liquidity Risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or atreasonable price. The company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlementmanagement.
