ix) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognised when there is 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 settlethe obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. When a provision ismeasured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is thepresent value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of the company or a present obligation that arises from pastevents where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligationor a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
x) Cash and Cash Equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and demand deposits withbanks.
xi) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that aredirectly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other thanfinancial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted fromthe fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
All financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised cost except Investments mentioned in note no4(a) which are measured at Fair Value.
The management consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities exceptInvestments recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair value as per the laetst financialsavailable for the investee companies.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on Financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost and trade receivables.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result fromtransactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18, the Company always measures the loss allowance atan amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss ("ECL") allowance for tradereceivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expectedcredit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical creditloss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.
2b.Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainties
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to makeestimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (includingcontingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believesthat the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Futureresults could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and theestimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise.

Return on Equity %= NPAT/Total Equity
Return on Investment%=NPAT/Investment
