1.1 Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
convention on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles, the applicable mandatory
Accounting Standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2006 (as amended), the relevant provisions of the Companies Act,
1956 and the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, to the extent notified.
The Company is in to construction / erection business, where, the
operating cycle depends upon the completion of the project, which is
generally beyond twelve months. However, the Company has considered its
operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current, non-current
classification of assets and liabilities. Where as per the specific
terms of the contract, the amounts are due beyond twelve months, the
classification ofassets and liabilities in to currentand non-current is
made accordingly.
1.2 Fixed Assets and Depreciation :
(i) Fixed Assets :
Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition / book value less
accumulated depreciation / amortisation. Costs include all expenses
incurred to bring the assets to its present location and condition.
Fixed assets individually costing Rs.5,000/- or less are depreciated
fully in the year of Acquisition.
(ii) Depreciation/Amortisation:
(a) Depreciation on assets is provided on Straight Line Method at the
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 except on
assets acquired on second hand basis, where depreciation is provided
over their remaining estimated useful life.
(b) Cost of Intangibles capitalised is amortised over their useful
life.
(c) Cost of ERP Software capitalised is amortised over a period of five
years.
(d) Depreciation / Amortisation on additions or on sale / discard of
assets is provided on pro-rata basis from the month of such addition or
up to the month of such sale / discard as the case may be.
1.3 Investments:
Investments are classified into current and non-current investments.

costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to its present location and condition.
(ii) Incomplete Contract Works under Contract Work-in-Progress :
"Incomplete Contract Works" are valued by the direct cost method.
The direct cost is determined for each contract separately by
considering all direct costs specifically attributable to each
contract. However, where the outcome of the contract, based on
percentile completion method is ascertained reliably after taking into
account all future costs, and revenues, proportionate profit
attributable to each contract is considered. The concept of valuation
of "Incomplete Contract Works" under "Contract
Work-in-Progress" arises only after the stage when direct costs under
each contract are not carried forward any further as "Accumulated
Direct Costs" as contemplated in policy 1.6(iii) below.
1.5 Amortisation of Facilities at Customers'' site :
All facilities in the nature of assets created at the customers'' site
and which are to be abandoned at the end of the each contract are

the contracted month for completion of the contract plus twelve months.
Billable reimbursements against such facilities, if separately
identified in a contract, are similarly credited in equal annual
instalments against the write-offs over the said period.
1.6 RevenueRecognition :
Engineering construction business :
(i) Income by way of revenue arising out of execution of contract work
(including supply of materials), is credited as "Income" only after
at least 5% / 10% / 15% (depending upon each contract value) of the
total estimated contract costs (i.e. direct and indirect costs) in
respect of each contract are incurred (on accrual basis). Such revenue
is recognised, as the contract progresses, by reference to the stage of
completion of each contract and the invoices acknowledged by the
customer''s representative. Procurement of goods and materials, prior to
commencement of the contract activity, is not considered as a progress
in the contract activity and hence, no revenue is recognised, although,
value of such goods and materials procured, exceeds 5% / 10% / 15% of
the estimated contract costs.
(ii) The Company follows the "Percentage of Completion Method" of
accounting for execution of contract work. The revenue from the
execution of contracts is recognised proportionately with the degree of
completion achieved under each contract, matching revenue with expenses
incurred and therefore, the invoices raised for claiming periodic
payments from customers are not accounted as income and the "Trade
Receivables / Advances received against Contracts" are reflected
accordingly.
Claims made on account of escalation in costs and on account of
variation in contract work approved by the customers, are both,
recognised as revenue only when and to the extent of the acceptance /
realisation of the amount of the claim or variation.
(iii) Direct costs i.e. all costs related to contracts, which are
accounted on accrual basis, are charged to revenue in respect of each
contract undertaken, only after at least 5% / 10% / 15% of the total
estimated all direct and indirect contract costs in respect of each
contract are incurred. Till such time, all such direct costs accounted
in respect of each contract are carried forward to the next accounting
year as "Accumulated Direct Costs" under "Contract
Work-in-Progress". Indirect costs are treated as expenses for the
year in which they are incurred on accrual method of accounting and
charged to revenue.
Infotech Business :
(iv) Income from Infotech services provided is accounted on accrual
basis.

receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities ofthe Company are segregated based on the
available information.

and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or
less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be

credited in equal annual instalments against the write-offs over the
said period.
(3) Investments :
All Long term investments are stated at cost. Diminution, if any, in
the value of investments, other than temporary, is provided for each
investment individually.
(4) Inventories :

is lower, computed on First in First out basis. Cost comprises of all
costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to its present location and condition.
(ii) Incomplete Contract Works under Contract Work-in-Progress:
"Incomplete Contract Works" are valued by the direct cost method. The
direct cost rate is determined for each contract separately by
considering all direct costs specifically
attributable to each contract. The concept of valuation of "Incomplete
Contract Works" under "Contract Work-in-Progress" arises only after the
stage when direct costs under each contract are not carried forward any
further as "Accumulated Direct Costs" as contemplated in policy 5 (iii)
below.
(5) Income and Expenditure :
Engineering construction business:
(i) Income by way of revenue arising out of execution of contract work
(including supply of materials), is credited as "Income" only after at
least 15% of the total estimated contract costs (i.e. direct and
indirect costs) in respect of each contract are incurred (on accrual
basis). Such revenue is recognised, as the contract progresses, by
reference to the stage of completion of each contract and the invoices
acknowledged by the customers representative. Procurement of goods and
materials, prior to commencement of the contract activity, is not
considered as a progress in the contract activity and hence, no revenue
is recognised, although, value of such goods and materials procured,
exceeds 15% of the estimated contract costs.
(ii) The Company follows the "Percentage of Completion Method" of
accounting for execution of contract work. The revenue from the
execution of contracts is recognised proportionately with the degree of
completion achieved under each contract, matching revenue with expenses
incurred. Therefore, the invoices raised for claiming periodic payments
from customers are not accounted as income and the "Sundry Debtors /
Advances received against Contracts" are reflected accordingly.Claims
made on account of escalation in costs and on account of variation in
contract work approved by the customers, are both, recognised as
revenue only when and to the extent of the acceptance/ realisation of
the amount of the claim or variation.
(iii) Direct costs i.e. all costs related to contracts, which are
accounted on accrual basis, are charged to revenue in respect of each
contract undertaken, only after at least 15% of the total estimated
contract costs (i.e. all direct and indirect costs) in respect of each
contract are incurred.Till such time, all such direct costs accounted
in respect of each contract are carried forward to the next accounting
year as "Accumulated Direct Costs" under "Contract Work-in-Progress".
Indirect costs are treated as expenses for the year in which they are
incurred on accrual method of accounting and charged to revenue.
Infotech Business:
(iv) Income from EDP services provided is accounted on accrual basis.
Other Income and Expenditure:
(v) Other Revenue / Income and Costs / Expenditure are generally
accounted on accrual, as they are earned or incurred.
(6) Use of Estimates :
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Differences
between actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in
which results are known.
(7) Retirement and other Employee Benefits:
(i) Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at the
undiscounted amount in the Profit and Loss Account for the year in
which the related service is rendered.

(a) Defined contribution plans: Companys contribution to the
superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund scheme, etc. are
recognised during the year in which the related service is rendered.
(b) Defined benefit plans: The present value of the gratuity obligation
is determined based on an actuarial valuation, using the Projected Unit
Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses arising on such valuation are
recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss Account. The gratuity
liability is funded with the Life Insurance Corporation of India and
the fair value of the plan assets, is reduced from the gross obligation
under the defined benefit plan, to recognise the obligation on a net
basis.
(iii) Long term compensated absences are provided on the basis of an
actuarial valuation.
(iv) Termination Benefits are recognised as an expense in the Profit
and Loss Account for the year in which they are incurred.
(8) Foreign Currency Fluctuations:
(i) All transactions in foreign currency, are recorded at the rates of
exchange prevailing on the dates when the relevant transactions take
place;
(ii) Monetary items in the form of Current Assets and Current
Liabilities in foreign currency, outstanding at the close of the year,
are converted in Indian Currency at the appropriate rates of exchange
prevailing on the date of the Balance Sheet. Resultant gain or loss is
accounted during the year;
(9) Borrowing Costs :
Interest and other borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets
are Capitalised. Other interest and borrowing costs are charged to
revenue.
(10) Taxation :
Income-tax expense comprises Current tax and Deferred tax charge or
credit.
(i) Provision for current tax is made on the assessable income at the
tax rate applicable to the relevant assessment year. Minimum Alternate
Tax (MAT) eligible for set off in subsequent years, (as per tax laws)
is recognized as an asset by way of credit to the Profit and Loss
Account only if there is convincing evidence of its realisation. At
each balance sheet date, the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement
receivable is reviewed to reassure realisation.
(ii) The Deferred tax Asset and Deferred tax Liability is calculated by
applying tax rate and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax Assets arising mainly
on account of brought forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under
tax laws, are recognised, only if there is a virtual certainty of its
realisation, supported by convincing evidence. Deferred tax Assets on
account of other timing differences are recognised, only to the extent
there is a reasonable certainty of its realisation. At each Balance
Sheet date, the carrying amount of Deferred tax Assets are reviewed to
reassure realisation.
(11) Impairment of Assets:
The Company, at each balance sheet date, assesses whether there is any
indication that an individual asset or group of assets constituting a
Cash Generating Unit (CGU) may be impaired. Provision for impairment
loss is recognised where the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU,
is less than its carrying amount. Provisions for impairment losses
recognised in earlier years are further reviewed at each balance sheet
date and adjusted for changes in the estimated recoverable amount of
asset / CGU.
(12) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions involving a substantial degree of estimation in measurement
are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past
events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the
financial statements. Contingent Assets are neither recognised nor
disclosed in the financial statements.
(13) Assets taken on lease :
Assets taken on finance lease are accounted in accordance with
Accounting Standard 19 on Leases. Lease payments are apportioned
between finance charges and reduction of outstanding liabilities.
