(b) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation; and
(c) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision shall be the best estimate of the expenditure required tosettle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The risks and uncertainties thatinevitably surround many events and circumstances shall be taken into account in reaching the bestestimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of aprovision shall be the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle theobligation. Provisions is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote, the company will disclose for eachclass of contingent liability at the end of the reporting period a brief description of the nature of thecontingent liability and, where practicable:
(a) An estimate of its financial effect,
(b) An indication of the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow; and
(c) The possibility of any reimbursement.

1.20 Earnings per Share
The company will calculate basic earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attributable toordinary equity holders and, if presented, profit or loss from continuing operations attributable tothose equity holders. Basic earnings per share shall be calculated by dividing profit or lossattributable to ordinary equity holders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinaryshares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The objective of basic earnings per shareinformation is to provide a measure of the interests of each ordinary share in the performance of thecompany over the reporting period.
If the number of ordinary or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of acapitalisation, bonus issue or share split, or decreases as a result of a reverse share split, thecalculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented shall be adjustedretrospectively. If these changes occur after the reporting period but before the financial statementsare approved for issue, the per share calculations for those and any prior period financialstatements presented shall be based on the new number of shares. The fact that per sharecalculations reflect such changes in the number of shares shall be disclosed. In addition, basic anddiluted earnings per share of all periods presented shall be adjusted for the effects of errors andadjustments resulting from changes in accounting policies accounted for retrospectively.

1.21 Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits include items such as the following, if expected to be settled whollybefore twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees renderthe related services: (a) wages, salaries and social security contributions; (b) paid leave; (c)bonuses; and (d) non-monetary benefits if any for current employees. When an employee hasrendered service to the company during an accounting period, it recognises the undiscountedamount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service: (a) as aliability (accrued expense), after deducting any amount already paid. If the amount already paidexceeds the undiscounted amount of the benefits, it recognises that excess as an asset (prepaidexpense) to the extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future paymentsor a cash refund.(b) as an expense. It will recognise the expected cost of bonus payments only when:(a) it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of pastevents; and (b) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
A present obligation exists when, and only when, the entity has no realistic alternative but to makethe payments.
Post-employment benefits include items such as the following: (a) retirement benefits (lump sumpayments on retirement i.e. gratuity); and (b) other post-employment benefits, such as leaveencashment, terminal benefits. Arrangements whereby company provides post-employmentbenefits are post-employment benefit plans. It applies this Standard to all such arrangementswhether or not they involve the establishment of a separate entity to receive contributions and topay benefits.
Post-employment benefit plans are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefitplans, depending on the economic substance of the plan as derived from its principal terms andconditions.
Under defined contribution plans the company's legal or constructive obligation is limited to theamount that it agrees to contribute to the fund. Thus, the amount of the post-employment benefitsreceived by the employee is determined by the amount of contributions paid by the company (andperhaps also the employee) to a post-employment benefit plan or to an insurance company,together with investment returns arising from the contributions. In consequence, actuarial risk (thatbenefits will be less than expected) and investment risk (that assets invested will be insufficient tomeet expected benefits) fall, in substance, on the employee. The company may pay insurancepremiums to fund a postemployment benefit plan. The entity shall treat such a plan as a definedcontribution plan unless the entity will have (either directly, or indirectly through the plan) a legal orconstructive obligation either: (a) to pay the employee benefits directly when they fall due; or (b) topay further amounts if the insurer does not pay all future employee benefits relating to employeeservice in the current and prior periods. If it retains such a legal or constructive obligation, it shalltreat the plan as a defined benefit plan.
When an employee has rendered service to the company during a period, it shall recognise thecontribution payable to a defined contribution plan in exchange for that service: (a) as a liability(accrued expense), after deducting any contribution already paid. If the contribution already paidexceeds the contribution due for service before the end of the reporting period, an entity shallrecognise that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the prepayment will lead to,for example, a reduction in future payments or cash refund. (b) as an expense. When contributions toa defined contribution plan are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the endof the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, they shall bediscounted using the discount rate.
Accounting by an entity for defined benefit plans involves the following steps: (a) determining thedeficit or surplus. (b) Determining the amount of the net defined benefit liability (asset). (c)Determining amounts to be recognised in profit or loss :(i) current service cost (ii) any past servicecost and gain or loss on settlement (iii) net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset). (d)Determining the re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), to be recognised inother comprehensive income, comprising: (i) actuarial gains and losses;(ii) return on plan assets,excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset); and (iii) anychange in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the netdefined benefit liability (asset).
The company will account not only for its legal obligation under the formal terms of a defined benefitplan, but also for any constructive obligation that arises from its informal practices. Informalpractices give rise to a constructive obligation where it has no realistic alternative but to payemployee benefits.
The company recognises the net defined benefit liability (asset) in the balance sheet. When thecompany has a surplus in a defined benefit plan, it shall measure the net defined benefit asset at thelower of: (a) the surplus in the defined benefit plan; and (b) the asset ceiling, determined using thediscount rate.
The company uses the projected unit credit method to determine the present value of its definedbenefit obligations and the related current service cost and, where applicable, past service cost.
1.22 Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets are the amounts of income taxes recoverable in future periods in respect of: (a)deductible temporary differences; (b) the carry forward of unused tax losses; and (c) the carryforward of unused tax credits.
Current tax for current and prior periods shall, to the extent unpaid, be recognised as a liability. Ifthe amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for thoseperiods, the excess shall be recognised as an asset.
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent thatthe deferred tax liability arises from: (a) the initial recognition of goodwill; or (b) the initialrecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: (i) is not a business combination; and (ii) atthe time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Temporarydifferences also arise when assets are revalued and no equivalent adjustment is made for taxpurposes. IND AS's permits or requires certain assets to be carried at fair value or to be revalued.
The difference between the carrying amount of a revalued asset and its tax base is a temporarydifference and gives rise to a deferred tax liability or asset.
A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that itis probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differencecan be utilised.
A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused taxcredits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which theunused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Current tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior periods is measured at the amount expectedto be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that havebeen enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets andliabilities is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset isrealised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. When different tax rates apply to differentlevels of taxable income, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the average ratesthat are expected to apply to the taxable profit (tax loss) of the periods in which the temporarydifferences are expected to reverse.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss forthe period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction or event which is recognised,in the same or a different period, outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income ordirectly in equity. Current tax and deferred tax shall be recognised outside profit or loss if the taxrelates to items that are recognised, in the same or a different period, outside profit or loss.Therefore, current tax and deferred tax that relates to items that are recognised, in the same or adifferent period: (a) in other comprehensive income, shall be recognised in other comprehensiveincome (b) directly in equity, shall be recognised directly in equity.
1.23 Critical accounting judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainties
