The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Adisclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, requirean outflow of resources. When the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, therisks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a financecost.
Contingent Assets are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place in theaccessible principal market or the most advantageous accessible market as applicable.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fairvalue, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair valuehierarchy into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. [Seenote 24].
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured atfair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities andContingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortization, where appropriate.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities ofthree months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes outstanding bank overdraft shown withincurrent liabilities in statement of financial balance sheet and which are considered as integral part of company’s cash management policy.
(i) An intangible asset shall be recognised if, and only if: (a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable tothe asset will flow to the Company and (b) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
(ii) Cost of technical know-how is amortised over a period of six years.
(iii) Computer software is capitalised where it is expected to provide future enduring economic benefits. Capitalisation costs include licencefees and costs of implementation / system integration services. The costs are capitalised in the year in which the relevant software isimplemented for use.

•> Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with similar end date.
•> Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use-assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of tra•> Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of -use-asset at the date of transition.
•> Grandfathered the assessment of which transactions are, or contain leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that werepreviously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.
•> Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous, applying Ind AS 37 immediately before the date of initial application as analternative to performing an impairment review.
•> Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
