Provisions are recognised when present obligationsas a result of past events will probably lead to anoutflow of economic resources from the Companyand they can be estimated reliably. Timing or amountof the outflow may still be uncertain. A presentobligation arises from the presence of a legal orconstructive obligation that has resulted from pastevents.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate ofexpenditure required to settle the present obligationat the reporting date, based on the most reliableevidence, including the risks and uncertainties andtiming of cash flows associated with the presentobligation.
In those cases where the possible outflow ofeconomic resource as a result of present obligationsis considered improbable or remote, or the amountto be provided for cannot be measured reliably, noliability is recognised in the balance sheet.
Any amount that the Company can be virtuallycertain to collect from a third party with respect tothe obligation is recognised as a separate asset up tothe amount of the related provisions. All provisionsare reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted toreflect the current best estimate.
Contingent assets are not recognised.
All employee services received in exchange forthe grant of any equity-settled share-basedcompensation are measured at their fair values.These are indirectly determined by reference to thefair value of the share options awarded. Their valueis appraised at the grant date and excludes the impactof any non-market vesting conditions (for example,profitability and sales growth targets).
All share-based compensation is ultimatelyrecognised as an expense in the statement of profitand loss with a corresponding credit to equity (Stockcompensation reserve). If vesting years or othervesting conditions apply, the expense is allocatedover the vesting year, based on the best availableestimate of the number of share options expectedto vest. Non-market vesting conditions are includedin assumptions about the number of options thatare expected to become exercisable. Estimates aresubsequently revised, if there is any indication thatthe number of share options expected to vest differsfrom previous estimates.
No adjustment is made to expense recognised in prioryears if fewer share options are ultimately exercisedthan originally estimated. Upon exercise of shareoptions, the proceeds received net of any directlyattributable transaction costs up to the nominal valueof the shares issued are allocated to share capital withany excess being recorded as Securities premium.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividingthe net profit for the year attributable to the equityshareholders of the Company by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstandingduring the year. The weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the year and forall years presented is adjusted for events, such asbonus shares, other than the conversion of potentialequity shares that have changed the number ofequity shares outstanding, without a correspondingchange in resources. For the purpose of calculatingdiluted earnings per share, the net profit for the yearattributable to equity shareholders and the weightedaverage number of shares outstanding during theyear is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potentialequity shares.
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating thecash flows into operating, investing and financingactivities. Cash flow from operating activities isreported using indirect method, adjusting the profitbefore tax excluding exceptional items for the effectsof:
(i) changes during the year in inventories andoperating receivables and payables, transactionsof a non-cash nature;
(ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions,unrealised foreign currency gains and losses;and
(iii) all other items for which the cash effectsare investing or financing cash flows.Cash and cash equivalents (including bankbalances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flowsexclude items which are not available for generaluse as at the date of Balance Sheet.
When preparing these financial statements,management undertakes a number of judgments',estimates and assumptions about the recognitionand measurement of assets, liabilities, income andexpenses.
In the process of applying the Company's accountingpolicies, the following judgments have been madeapart from those involving estimates, which have the
most significant effect on the amounts recognised inthe financial statements. Judgments are based on theinformation available at the date of balance sheet.
Ind AS 116 requires Company to make certainjudgements and estimations, and those that aresignificant are disclosed below.
Critical judgements are required when an entity is,
• determining whether or not a contract containsa lease
• establishing whether or not it is reasonablycertain that an extension option will be exercised
• considering whether or not it is reasonablycertain that a termination option will not beexercised
Key sources of estimation and uncertainty include:
• calculating the appropriate discount rate
• estimating the lease termEstimation Uncertainty
The preparation of these financial statements is inconformity with Ind AS and requires the applicationof judgment by management in selecting appropriateassumptions for calculating financial estimates,which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty.Management estimates are based on historicalexperience and various other assumptions that arebelieved to be reasonable in the circumstances, theresults of which form the basis for making judgmentsabout the reported carrying values of assets andliabilities and the reported amounts of revenuesand expenses that may not be readily apparent fromother sources. Actual results may differ from theseestimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Estimates of life of various tangible and intangibleassets, and assumptions used in the determinationof employee-related obligations and fair valuationof financial and equity instrument, impairment oftangible and intangible assets represent certain ofthe significant judgements and estimates made bymanagement.
Useful lives of various assets
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciableassets at each reporting date, based on the expectedutility of the assets to the Company. The useful lifeare specified in note 2.5 and 2.7
Post-employment benefits
The cost of post-employment benefits is determinedusing actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuationinvolves making assumptions about discount rates,expected rate of return on assets, future salaryincreases and mortality rates. Due to the long termnature of these plans such estimates are subject tosignificant uncertainty.
Fair value of financial instruments
Management uses valuation techniques in measuringthe fair value of financial instruments where activemarket quotes are not available. In applying thevaluation techniques, management makes maximumuse of market inputs and uses estimates andassumptions that are, as far as possible, consistentwith observable data that market participants woulduse in pricing the instrument. Where applicable datais not observable, management uses its best estimateabout the assumptions that market participantswould make. These estimates may vary from theactual prices that would be achieved in an arm'slength transaction at the reporting date.
Impairment
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount bywhich an asset's or cash-generating unit's carryingamount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determinethe recoverable amount, management estimatesexpected future cash flows from each asset or cash¬generating unit and determines a suitable interestrate in order to calculate the present value of thosecash flows. In the process of measuring expectedfuture cash flows, management makes assumptionsabout future operating results. These assumptionsrelate to future events and circumstances. Theactual results may vary, and may cause significantadjustments to the Company's assets.
In most cases, determining the applicable discountrate involves estimating the appropriate adjustmentto market risk and the appropriate adjustment toasset-specific risk factors.
Current and deferred income taxes
Significant judgments are involved in determiningthe provision for income taxes including judgmenton whether tax positions are probable of beingsustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment caninvolve complex issues, which can only be resolvedover extended time years. The recognition of taxesthat are subject to certain legal or economic limits oruncertainties is assessed individually by managementbased on the specific facts and circumstances.
Expected credit loss
The Company applies expected credit losses (ECL)model for measurement and recognition of lossallowance on the following:
i Trade receivables.
ii Financial assets measured at amortised costother than trade receivables.”
In case of trade receivables, the Company followsa simplified approach wherein an amount equalto lifetime ECL is measured and recognised asloss allowance. In case of other assets (listed as iiabove), the Company determines if there has been asignificant increase in credit risk of the financial assetsince initial recognition. If the credit risk of such assetshas not increased significantly, an amount equal totwelve month ECL is measured and recognised asloss allowance. However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL ismeasured and recognised as loss allowance.
The financial statements have been prepared usingthe measurement basis specified by Ind AS for eachtype of asset, liability, income and expense. Themeasurement bases are more fully described in theaccounting policies.
The estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions toaccounting estimates are recognised in the year inwhich the estimate is revised if the revision affectsonly that year or in the year of the revision and futureyears if the revision affects both current and futureyears.

During the years mentioned above there has been no transfers amongst the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of all the Financial instrument measured at amortised cost are based on discounted cash flow using a discountrate. They has been classified at level 2 in fair value hierarchy due to the use of valuation techniques which measured the use ofobservable market data.
Trade receivables comprise amounts receivable from the sale of goods and services.
Investment majorly comprises of Investment in mutual fund which has been valued at NAV as on the Balance Sheet date.
The management considers that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.
Bank balances and cash comprise cash and short-term deposits held by the Company. The carrying amount of these assetsapproximates their fair value.
Trade and other payables principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and on-going costs. The managementconsiders that the carrying amount of trade payables approximates to their fair value.
Level 1 : Category includes financial assets and liabilities, that are measured in whole or in significant part by reference topublished quotes in an active market.
Level 2 : Category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions thatare supported by prices from observable current market transactions. These include assets and liabilities for which pricing isobtained via pricing services, but where prices have not been determined in an active market, financial assets with fair valuesbased on broker quotes and assets that are valued using the Company's own valuation models whereby the material assumptionsare market observable.
Level 3 : Category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using valuation techniques based on non market observableinputs. This means that fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions thatare neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based onavailable market data. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, that is, to estimate an exit price fromthe perspective of the Company. The main asset classes in this category are unlisted equity investments as well as unlisted funds.
The fair value of all the Financial instrument measured at amortised cost are based on discounted cash flow using a discount ratedetermined considering the borrowing rate charged by the bank.
The fair value of all the Financial instruement measured at fair value through profit and loss are based on the NAV.
Company as lessee
The Company has applied short term and low value exemption for leases and accordingly are excluded from Ind AS 116. Theleases includes non cancellable years and renewable option at the discretion of lessee which has been taken into considerationfor determination of lease term.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks which results from the Company's operating and investing activities. TheCompany focuses on actively securing its short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets.
The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options.
Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents,accounts receivables, other receivables, investment securities and deposits. By their nature, all such financial instrumentsinvolve risk including the credit risk of non-performance by counter parties.
The Company's cash equivalents and deposits are held in reputed banks, which management belives are of high credit qualityand hence no impairment allowances has been recognized.
The Company's trade and other receivables are actively monitored to review credit worthiness of customers to whom creditterms are granted and avoid significant concentrations of credit risks.
The foreign currency sensitivity analysis has been performed in relation to US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Great Britain Pound(GBP) and Russian Ruble (RUB). These are unhedged foreign currency.
Considering the volatility in direction of strengthening US Dollar upto 10%, the sensitivity analysis has been disclosed at 10%movements on strengthening and weakening effect for presenting comparable movement due to currency fluctuations.
The Company's cash equivalents and deposits are held in reputed banks, which management believes are of high credit qualityand hence no impairment allowances has been recognized.
Trade receivables are usually due within 60-180 days. Generally and by practice most customers enjoy a credit term ofapproximately 180 days and are not interest bearing, which is the normal industry practice. All trade receivables are subjectto credit risk exposure. However, the Company does not identify specific concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade andother receivables, as the amounts recognised represent a large number of receivables from various customers.
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit risk has always beenmanaged by each business segment through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoptionof Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. However, as there were nomaterial bad debts in past years and there is no material receivables outstanding for more than 6 months, company does not haveany expected credit loss assesment.
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by theCompany, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company's policy is to deal only with creditworthycounterparties.
The Company's management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired for each of the reporting datesand are of good credit quality, including those that are past due. None of the Company's financial assets are secured by collateralor other credit enhancements.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company's credit risk exposure towards any single counterparty or any group ofcounterparties having similar characteristics is considered to be negligible. The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-termfinancial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
