Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to re-assess realization.

(xi) Impairment of Assets:

Impairment loss, if any, is provided to the extent, the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset''s net selling price and its value in use.
