Provision is recognised if as a result of a past event,the Company has a present obligation (legal orconstructive) that can be estimated reliably and it isprobable that an outflow of economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation. Provisions arerecognised at the best estimate of the expenditurerequired to settle the present obligation at the balancesheet date. If the effect of time value of money ismaterial, provisions are discounted using a currentpre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risksspecific to the liability.
Contingent liability exists when there is a possiblebut not probable obligation, or a present obligationthat may, but probably will not, require an outflowof resources, or a present obligation whose amountcannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities donot warrant provisions but are disclosed unless thepossibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingentassets are neither recognised nor disclosed in thefinancial statements. However, when the realisation ofincome is virtually certain, then the related asset is nota contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.
O. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed using the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the period.Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted averagenumber of equity and dilutive equity equivalent sharesoutstanding during the period except where the resultswould be anti-dilutive.
P. Key estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordancewith Ind AS requires use of estimates and assumptionsfor some items, which might have an effect on theirrecognition and measurement in the balance sheetand statement of profit and loss. The actual amountsrealised may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are required in particularfor:
• Determination of the estimated useful lives oftangible assets and intangible assets and theassessment as to which components of the costmay be capitalized.
Useful lives of tangible assets and intangibleassets are based on the life prescribed in ScheduleII of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, wherethe useful lives are different from that prescribedin Schedule II, they are based on managementestimate, taking into account the nature of theasset, the estimated usage of the asset, theoperating conditions of the asset, past history ofreplacement, anticipated technological changes,manufacturers' warranties and maintenancesupport. Assumptions also need to be made,when the Company assesses, whether an assetmay be capitalized and which components of thecost of the asset may be capitalised.
• Recognition and measurement of defined benefitobligations
The obligation arising from defined benefit plan isdetermined on the basis of actuarial assumptions.Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate,trends in salary escalation and vested futurebenefits and life expectancy. The discount rate isdetermined by reference to market yields at theend of the reporting period on government bonds.The period to maturity of the underlying bondscorrespond to the probable maturity of the post¬employment benefit obligations.
• Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Company exercises judgment in measuringand recognising provisions and the exposures tocontingent liabilities related to pending litigationor other outstanding claims subject to negotiatedsettlement, mediation, arbitration or governmentregulation, as well as other contingent liabilities.Judgment is necessary in assessing the likelihoodthat a pending claim will succeed, or a liabilitywill arise, and to quantify the possible range ofthe financial settlement. Because of the inherentuncertainty in this evaluation process, actual lossesmay be different from the originally estimatedprovision.
• Measurement of fair values
The Company's accounting policies anddisclosures require the measurement of fair values,for both financial and non-financial assets andliabilities. The Company has an established controlframework with respect to the measurement of fairvalues.
They regularly review significant unobservableinputs and valuation adjustments. If third partyinformation is used to measure fair values thenthe finance team assesses the evidence obtainedfrom the third parties to support the conclusionthat such valuations meet the requirements of IndAS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy inwhich such valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or aliability, the Company uses observable marketdata as far as possible. Fair values are categorizedinto different levels in a fair value hierarchy basedon the inputs used in the valuation techniques asfollows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in activemarkets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted pricesincluded in Level 1 that are observable for theasset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices)or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability thatare not based on observable market data(unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of anasset or a liability fall into different levels of the fairvalue hierarchy, then the fair value measurementis categorized in its entirety in the same level of thefair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that issignificant to the entire measurement.
Q. Exceptional Items
When items of income and expense within profit or
loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature orincidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain theperformance of the Company for the period, the natureand amount of such items is disclosed separately underthe head exceptional item.
R. Non - Current Assets Held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classifiedas held for sale if their carrying amount will be recoveredprincipally through a sale transaction rather thanthrough continuing use and its sale is highly probable.The sale is considered highly probable only when theasset or disposal groups is available for immediate salein its present condition, it is unlikely that the sale will bewithdrawn and the sale is expected to be completedwithin one year from the date of classification. Non¬current assets (and disposal groups) classified as heldfor sale are measured at the lower of their carryingamount and fair value less costs to sell. These are notdepreciated or amortised once classified as held forsale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale arepresented separately in the Balance Sheet.
Non-current assets that ceases to be classified as heldfor sale are measured at lower of (i) its carrying amountbefore the asset was classified as held for sale, adjustedfor depreciation that would have been recognised hadthat asset not been classified as held for sale, and (ii)its recoverable amount at the date when the disposalgroup ceases to be classified as held for sale.
S. Discontinued operations and non-current assetsheld for sale
Discontinued operation is a component of theCompany that has been disposed of or classified asheld for sale and represents a major line of business.Non-current assets and disposal groups are classifiedas held for sale if their carrying amount is intended tobe recovered principally through a sale (rather thanthrough continuing use) when the asset (or disposalgroup) is available for immediate sale in its presentcondition subject only to terms that are usual andcustomary for sale of such asset (or disposal group)and the sale is highly probable and is expected toqualify for recognition as a completed sale within oneyear from the date of classification. Non-current assetsand disposal groups classified as held for sale aremeasured at lower of their carrying amount and fairvalue less costs to sell

*Related to discontiued operations
The company offsets tax assets and liabilities if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets andcurrent tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by thesame tax authority.
Significant management judgement is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assetsand liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assetsis based on estimates of taxable income in which the relevant entity operates and the period over which deferredincome tax assets will be recovered.
During the previous year, The Company has reassessed the deferred tax, there is deferred tax assets (Net) onaccount of unabsorbed depreciation and accumulated losses. However, on prudence basis the Company hasrecognised the deferred tax assets to the extent of deferred tax liabilities as provided in earlier years.
Ind AS 107, 'Financial Instrument - Disclosure' requires classification of the valuation method of financial instrumentsmeasured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, using a three level fair-value-hierarchy (which reflects the significanceof inputs used in the measurements). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to un-adjusted quoted prices in activemarkets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to un-observable inputs (Level 3measurements). Fair value of derivative financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting expected futurecontractual cash flows using prevailing market interest rate curves. The three levels of the fair-value-hierarchyunder Ind AS 107 are described below:
Level 1: Level 1 Heirarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuationtechniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specificestimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included inlevel 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is includedin level 3.
Transfers between Levels
There have been no transfers between Levels during the reporting periods
The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 fair values, as well as the significantunobservable inputs used.
