A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of pastevents and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligationin respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money ismaterial, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, whenappropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Contingentliabilities are disclosed for:
i) Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company, or
ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount ofthe obligation cannot be made.

Purchase and sale of financial assets are recognised using trade dateaccounting.
Recognition: Financial assets includes Investments, Trade receivables, Advances, SecurityDeposits, Cash and cash equivalents. Such assets are initially recognised at transactionprice when the Company becomes party to contractual obligations. The transaction priceincludes transaction costs unless the assets are being fair valued through the Statement ofProfit and Loss.

a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost (AC)
A financial asset are measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whoseobjective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractualterms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), where the financial assets areheld not only for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and interestbut also from the sale of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value,with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fairvalue being recognised inother comprehensive income.
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), where the assets are managed in accordance withan approved investment strategy that triggers purchase and sale decisions based on thefair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, withunrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fairvalue being recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and cash equivalents etc. are classifiedfor measurement at amortised cost while investments may fall under any of the aforesaidclasses.
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instrumentswhich are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, theCompany decides to classify the same either at fair value through other comprehensiveincome (FVTOCI) or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by¬instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair valuechanges on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in other comprehensiveincome (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss,even on sale of such investments. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category aremeasured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company has opted to continue with the carrying value of all its equity investments asrecognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as perthe previous GAAP and use that as the deemed cost as at the transition date pursuant to theexemption under Ind AS 101.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forwardcontracts, interest rate swaps and currency options to manage its exposure to interest rateand foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fairvalue on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re¬measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positiveand as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated withforeign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Companydesignates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedgeaccounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date.Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective ashedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) andaccumulated in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" under Reserves and Surplus, net ofapplicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" are reclassified to theStatement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transactionaffects Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedginginstrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedgeaccounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedginginstrument recognised in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is retained until the forecastedtransaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the netcumulative gain or loss recognises.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offseted and the net amount is reported in thebalance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amountsand there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilitiessimultaneously.
Impairment: The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset (or agroup of financial assets) such as investments, trade receivables, advances and securitydeposits held at amortised cost and financial assets that are measured at fair value throughother comprehensive income are tested for impairment based on evidence or informationthat is available without undue cost or effort. Expected credit losses are assessed and lossallowances are recognised if the credit quality of the financial asset has deterioratedsignificantly since initial recognition.
Reclassification: When and only when the business model is changed, the Company shallreclassify all affected financial assets prospectively from the reclassification date assubsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income,fair value through profit or loss without restating the previously recognised gains, losses orinterest and in terms of the reclassification principles laid down in the Ind AS relating toFinancial Instruments.
De-recognition: Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows fromthe assets has expired, or has been transferred, and the Company has transferred amountscollected on behalf of third parties, such as sales tax and value added tax.
All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of loans, net of directlyattributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognised in the Statement of Profitand Lossas finance cost.
Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For tradeand other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carryingamounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company measures its investments in subsidiary at cost less impairment. The companyassesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicatethat the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. If any such indication ofimpairment exists, the company makes an estimate of its recoverable amount. Where thecarrying amount of an investment exceeds its recoverable amount, the investment isconsidered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
i) Non-Current investments are valued at cost. However, provision for diminution in value ismade to recognize a decline in the value, other than temporary.
ii) Current investments are valued at lower of cost or fair value.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average numberof equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonuselement in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split(consolidation of shares). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss)after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of anyattributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weightedaverage number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutivepotential equity shares.
