Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits 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 required to settle thepresent obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a current pre¬tax rate. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or apresent obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measuredwith sufficient reliability. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalonefinancial statements.
Contingent asset is not recognised in standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income thatmay never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingentasset and is recognized.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences at the reporting date between the taxbases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and anyunused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses canbe utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longerprobable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognizeddeferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable thatfuture taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset isrealized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date.

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
• defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
• defined contribution plans such as provident fund.
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of thedefined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligationis calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in INR is determined by discounting the estimated futurecash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have termsapproximating 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 benefit obligation and thefair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognizedin the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in thestatement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognizedimmediately in Statement of Profit and Loss as past service cost.
The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards government administered provident fund scheme. TheCompany has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for asdefined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaidcontributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments are available.
The liabilities for leave are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in whichthe employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future paymentsto be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unitcredit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have termsapproximating to the terms of the related obligation. Measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes inactuarial assumptions are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right todefer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expectedto occur.

i) Methods & assumptions used to estimate the fair values
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchangedin a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
(a) The carrying amounts of receivables and payables which are short term in nature such as trade receivables, other bankbalances, deposits, loans to employees, trade payables, other financial liabilities and cash and cash equivalents areconsidered to be the same as their fair values.
(b) The fair values for long term security deposits given and remaining non current financial assets were calculated based oncash flows discounted using a current rate at 9%. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy dueto the inclusion of unobservable inputs.
(c) For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments byvaluation technique:
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; andLevel 3: inputs which are not based on observable market data
