3.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a pastevent, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some orall of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when thereimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and lossnet of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities and Assets
Contingent Liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes. A disclosure for a contingent liability is madewhere there is a possible obligation arising out of past event, the existence of which will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Companyor a present obligation arising out of past event where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent Assets are not recognised butdisclosed in the financial statements when economic inflow is probable.
3.17 Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period after deducting any attributabletax thereto for the period by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For thepurpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects ofall dilutive potential equity shares.
3.18 Current and Non-current Classification

3.19 Business Combination
Business combinations, if any, are accounted for using the acquisition accounting method as at the date of theacquisition, which is the date at which control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred in theacquisition and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised at fair values on theiracquisition date. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the considerationtransferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the netidentifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the Goodwill computed as per IND AS 103 is negative, theacquirer needs to reassess the identification and measurement of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities andcontingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If negative goodwill remains, this isrecognised immediately in OCI and accumulated in equity as Capital Reserve. The Company recognises anynon-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilitiesassumed. The Company recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on anacquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of theacquired entity's net identifiable assets. Consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement ofpre-existing relationships. Such amounts are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, other than those incurred in relation to the issue of debt or equitysecurities. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequentchanges in the fair value of contingent consideration are recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss.
If there is an acquisition of an asset or a group of assets that does not constitute a business.In such cases the Companyshall identify and recognise the individual identifiable assets acquired (including those assets that meet the definitionof, and recognition criteria for, intangible assets in Ind AS 38, Intangible Assets) and liabilities assumed. The cost of thegroup shall be allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values atthe date of purchase. Such a transaction or event does not give rise to goodwill.
(b) Defined benefit plan:
Gratuity
The Employee's Gratuity Fund Scheme, which is defined benefit plan, is managed by Trust maintained with Life InsuranceCorporation of India. The liabilities with respect to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation on projected unit creditmethod on the balance sheet date, based upon which the Company contributes to the Group Gratuity Scheme.

43 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in 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:
(1) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short-term receivables, trade payables , other current liabilities,short-term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-termmaturities of these instruments.
(2) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rate are evaluated by the Company based on parameter such as interestrates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for theexpected losses of these receivables.

54 AUDIT TRAIL
Kkalpana Industries (India) Ltd. (KIIL) uses SAP-S4 HANA as the accounting software. SAP ensures an audit trail, providing standardfunctionality and logging in all changed data in the system. This functionality and audit trail feature in SAP has been operationalthroughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded through the application at KIIL.
At KIIL, accounting documents are used to record all business transactions - posted documents are stored in SAP for everytransaction and a financial document once posted cannot be deleted or changed for data points impacting financials. The SAPenvironment at KIIL is appropriately governed and only authorised users can make postings in SAP, while interacting with thesystem through the application layer. Normal/regular users are not granted nor have direct SAP-DB (database) or super user levelaccess which would allow them to make any changes to financial documents directly which have already been posted through theapplication.
To operate the SAP-application and the SAP-DB, the system necessarily requires a set of super-users to have DB-level accesses. Thesesuper-users are obligated to perform system related tasks. They are not allowed to carry out any direct changes/edits to financial
transactions in the SAP-DB, which if carried out is ill-legal. In the event of an unauthorised change by a super user specifically, thesecan be detected through an investigative approach and/or using services provided by SAP as part of their financial data qualitycheck service, which validates the consistency of financials based on the request of the client. Therefore, while the SAP-DB at themoment does not have the concurrent real time audit trail feature in view of its infeasibility, the tracking of changes can be donethrough a focused enquiry process.
