A Provision is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of amount of a past event that probably requires anoutflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Disclosure for contingent liability ismade when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow ofresources. No provision is recognized or disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or apresent obligation and the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent Assets is neither recognized nor disclosedin the financial statements.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptionsand judgements which have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statement:
a Income taxes
Judgment of the Management is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets andliabilities. The company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors used inestimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported in the financialstatements.
b Contingencies
Judgment of the Management is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect ofcontingencies/claim/ litigations against the company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters withaccuracy
c Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances forestimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not collectible.
d Defined Benefit Plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation aredetermined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actualdevelopments in future. These Includes the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates andattrition rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highlysensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
