Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hereto in use.

B. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses of the year.

D. Depreciation/Amortization:

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on Straight-Line Method over the useful life of the assets as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on assets purchased/sold during the year is proportionately charged. Individual assets costing '5000 or less are depreciated within a year of acquisition.

E. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

F. Impairment of Assets

Difference between the carrying amount of an asset and the recoverable value is recognized as impairment loss in the statement of profit and loss in the year of impairment.

G. Employee Benefits:

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.

H. Revenue Recognition:

I. Taxes on Income:

Current Tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred tax

Deferred income taxes (AS 22 on Accounting for taxes on income) are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for a period that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. The effect on deferred tax and liabilities of change in tax rates will be recognized using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit entitlement

MAT credit entitlement represents the amounts paid in a year under Section 115JA/ 115JB of the Income Tax Act 1961 ('IT Act') which is in excess of the tax payable, computed on the basis of normal provisions of the IT Act.

Such excess amount can be carried forward for set off in future periods in accordance with the relevant provisions of the IT Act. Since such credit represents a resource controlled by the Company as a result of past events and there is evidence as at the reporting date that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, when such credit would be adjusted, the same has been disclosed as "MAT Credit entitlement", in the balance sheet with a corresponding credit to the profit and loss account, as a separate line item.

Such assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down to reflect the amount that will not be available as a credit to be set off in future, based on the applicable taxation law then in force.

J. Earnings Per Share (EPS)

In determining EPS, the Company considers the net profit / (loss) after tax attributable to Equity Share holders. Basic earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted average number and dilutive equivalent equity shares outstanding during the year, except when the results would be anti dilutive.

K. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.

Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes to accounts. Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
