All amounts disclosed in the standalone
Ind AS financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs unless otherwise stated.
(b) Use of estimates and judgments
The estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements are continuously evaluated by the company and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the company believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/materialized.
The said estimates are based on the facts and events, that existed as at the reporting date, or that occurred after that date but provide additional evidence about conditions existing as at the reporting date.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment recognized as at 1st April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment is provided on a Straight Line Method, net of their residual values, over the estimated useful lives of assets. Leasehold land is amortized over the period of lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of lease or estimated useful lives of such assets, whichever is lower. Period of lease is either the primary lease period or where the Company as a lessee has the right of renewal of lease, and it is intended to renew for further periods, then such extended period.
The company depreciates its property, plant and equipment over the useful life in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Act, and management believe that useful lives of assets are same as those prescribed in schedule II of the Act, except for the following class of assets, useful life for which is based on a technical evaluation and taking into consideration nature of Companyâs business and past experience of usage of such assets and which are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Act:

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the less orâs expected inflationary cost increases.
As less or
Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a less or is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the excepted inflationary cost increases.
The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, Bank overdrafts, deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
The residual values are generally not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
An assetâs carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assetâs carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(d) Investment properties
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is initially recognized at cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the assetâs carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
Investment properties, net of residual value are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful life in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Act, and management believe that useful lives of assets are same as those prescribed in schedule II of the Act.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on 28 March 2018, notified Appendix B to Ind AS 40, Investment property - Transfers of investment property as part of the Companies (Indian
(h) Inventories
Inventories of Raw Materials, Work-in-Progress, Stock-in-trade, Stores and spares and Finished Goods are stated âat cost or net realizable value, whichever is lowerâ. Cost comprise all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost formula used is âFirst-in-First-Outâ, âWeighted Average costâ or âSpecific Identificationâ, as applicable. Due allowance is estimated and made for defective and obsolete items, wherever necessary.
(i) Investment in subsidiary
Investment in subsidiary is recognized at cost (less impairment, if any) as per Ind AS-27 âSeparate Financial Statementâ.
(j) Investments and other financial assets (i) Classification
The company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
* those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through the Statement of Profit and Loss), and
* those measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the companyâs business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(ii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Debt instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the companyâs business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
* Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
* Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assetsâ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest revenue which are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss and recognized in other income/expense. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
* Fair value through profit and loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Equity instruments:
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Companyâs management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividends from such investments are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as other income when the Companyâs right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gain/(losses) in the Statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated
with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
(iv) Income recognition Interest income
Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends
Dividends are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established.
(k) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(l) Borrowing costs
Interest and other borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalized. Other interest and borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
(m)Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of managementâs best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense in Statement of Profit and loss.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events.
A contingent asset is disclosed in respect of possible asset that may arise from past event and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events.
(n) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, discounts, value added taxes, goods and services tax and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the company and specific criteria have been met for each of the companyâs activities as described below.
Sale of goods - Wholesale
Sales are recognized when substantial risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to customer. In case of domestic sales, sales are recognized when goods are dispatched or delivery in handed over to transporter. In case of export sales, sales are recognized when goods are cleared by customs.
Sale of goods - Retail
Sales are recognized when substantial risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to retail customers, when goods are handed over to the customer against moneys received.
Sales return
The Company recognizes provision for sales return, based on the historical trends.
Other operating revenue - Export incentives -
Export benefits under various schemes of Government of India are accounted on accrual basis on the basis of exports made.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on 28 March 2018, notified Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers as part of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018. These amendments are mandatory for the accounting period beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the change on its financial statements.
(o) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in
respect of employeesâ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. An actuarial valuation is obtained at the end of reporting period. The present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet, if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
Defined Benefits Plan Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The net interest cost is calculated by actuary applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments as calculated by actuary are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as past service cost.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays Provident Fund (PF) contributions, Employees State Insurance
Scheme (ESIC) etc., to publicly administered funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefits expense when they are due.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the company before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The company recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b)when the company recognizes costs for are structuring that is within the scope of Ind AS-37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(p) Foreign currency transactions (i) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Companyâs functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are recognized at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction dates. Realized gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at the year-end are translated at the year-end exchange rates and the resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on 28 March 2018, notified Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration as part of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018. These amendments are mandatory for the accounting period beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the change on its financial statements.
(q) Derivative and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated.
The Company designates their derivatives as hedges of foreign exchange risk associated with the cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
The Company documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items. The Company documents its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions at the inception of each hedge relationship.
The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than or equal to 12 months.
Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting -
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the other comprehensive income in cash flow hedging reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
When forward contracts and non-derivative financial liabilities in the form of Pre-shipment export credit in Foreign Currency (PCFC) are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company designates them in entirety as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to effective portion of fair value of forward contracts and PCFC are recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve within other equity.
When the option contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company designates only the intrinsic value of the option contract as the hedging instrument.
Derivative Contracts other than cash flow hedges: Derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges, are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in Statement of Profit and Loss.
(r) Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current periodâs taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are excepted to apply when the related defer income tax assets is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Minimum Alternate Tax credit is recognized as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on 28 March 2018, notified amendments to Ind AS 12, Income taxes regarding recognition of deferred tax assets on unrealised losses as part of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018. These amendments are mandatory for the accounting period beginning on or after April 1,
2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the change on its financial statements.
(s) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- the profit attributable to owners of the company
- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
- Ihe after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(t) Segment Reporting:
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
(u) Impairment of non-financial assets:
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the assetâs carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(v) Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the attached conditions.
(w) Business Combinations
Amalgamation under common control are accounted using âPooling of Interest Methodâ.
(x) Dividend
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognized in the periods in which the results are known/ materialize.
b) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized when goods are supplied to customers and are recorded net of sales tax/ value added tax, trade Discounts, Rebate and Returns but include excise duty. Dividend income on investments is accounted when the right to receive the dividend is established. Interest Income is accounted on accrual basis.
Revenue in respect of Insurance/other claims, interest etc. is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.
c) EXPORT BENEFITS
Export benefits under various schemes of Government of India are accounted on accrual basis on the basis of exports made and the value of imports made/ to be made there against.
d) FIXED ASSETS
i) Property, plant and equipment:
Fixed Assets are recorded at Cost of acquisition. They are stated at historical costs including incidental expenses.
ii) Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost less amortization.
e) DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION
i) On Property, plant and equipment :
Depreciation has been calculated on straight-line basis in accordance with the provisions of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The estimated useful lives have been assessed based on a technical evaluation, taking into account the nature of the Company''s business and past experience of usage of assets. The useful lives that are different from those prescribed under Schedule II are mentioned below:
Description |
Useful Life |
Plant and Equipments |
21 years |
Furniture and Fixtures |
16 years |
Office Equipments |
21 years |
Computer |
6 years |
Electrical Installation |
21 years |
Assets costing Rs. 5000/- or less individually are fully depreciated over a period of one year.
Cost of Leasehold Land is amortized over the period of lease.
Cost of Leasehold improvements is amortized over the primary period of lease. However, in cases where the company as a lessee has the right of renewal of lease and it is intended to renew for further periods, then the cost of such leasehold improvements is amortized over such extended period.
ii) On Intangible Assets:
a) Goodwill
At the time of acquisition of the business, the difference between the cost of investments and the fair value of assets as at the date of acquisition is accounted for as goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over a period of 10 years. Goodwill on amalgamation in the nature of merger is amortized over a period of 5 years.
b) Computer software is amortized on straight line basis over a period of 6 years.
f) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable value. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm''s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impaired loss recognized in prior accounting periods is reversed if there is a change in the estimate of the recoverable value.
g) INVESTMENTS
Investments are classified into non-current investments and current investments. Investments, which are intended to be held for more than one year, are classified as non-current investments and investments, which are intended to be held for less than one year, are classified as current investments. Non-current investments are accounted at cost and a provision for diminution is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of long term investments. Current investments are valued at cost or fair value whichever is lower. Investments include investments in shares of a company registered outside India. They are stated at cost by converting at the rate of exchange prevalent at the time of acquisition thereof.
Any profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of the average cost of acquisition.
h) TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on settlement of the transaction and on account of restatement of monetary items are dealt with in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk and outstanding as on balance sheet date are translated at year end exchange rates. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such forward exchange contracts are amortized as income or expense over the life of the contract.
Gains / Losses on settlement of transactions arising on cancellation / renewal of forward exchange contracts are recognized as income or expense.
i) HEDGE ACCOUNTING
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecasted transactions. Further, non-derivative financial liabilities in the form of
Pre-shipment Export Credit in Foreign Currency (PCFC) borrowings have also been designated as hedging instruments to hedge the highly probable forecast sales in foreign currency. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the "Guidance Note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts".
The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company''s policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company''s risk management strategy.
Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value, and are premeasured at subsequent reporting dates.
Changes in the fair value of these derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in shareholders'' funds and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as they arise.
If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholders'' funds is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period.
j) INVENTORIES
a) Raw materials are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. The cost includes purchase price as well as incidental expenses. The cost formulae used are First In First Out, Weighted average cost or Specific identification method, as applicable and found appropriate.
b) Work -in - progress is valued at cost calculated on the basis of absorption costing or net realizable value whichever is lower.
c) Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. Cost is determined on the basis of absorption costing.
d) Packing materials and accessories are valued at First in First out cost or net realizable value whichever is lower.
e) Stores and spare parts are valued at First in First out cost or net realizable value whichever is lower.
k) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
a) The contribution to Provident Fund as required under the statute is made to the Government Provident Fund and is debited to Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation. The Company has taken Group gratuity- cum-life assurance (cash accumulation) Scheme offered by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Annual contributions are made on the basis of intimation received from LIC. The company accounts for liability for future gratuity benefits based on actuarial valuation carried out as at the end of each financial year. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in Statement of Profit and Loss for the period in which they occur.
c) Benefits in the form of vesting and non-vesting compensated absences are accounted as per actuarial valuation carried out as at the year end.
l) EMPLOYEE SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Company has formulated Employee Stock Option Schemes (ESOS) in accordance with the SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 (now known as SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014). The Schemes provides for grant of options to employees of the company to acquire equity shares of the company that vest in a graded manner and that are to be exercised within a specified period. In accordance with the SEBI Guidelines; the excess, if any, of the closing market price on the day prior to the grant of the options under ESOS over the exercise price is amortized on a straight- line basis over the vesting period.
m) TAXES ON INCOME
Income Taxes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS 22) - Accounting for Taxes on Income. Income Tax comprises both current and deferred tax.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the revenue authorities, using applicable tax rates and laws and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is highly probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.

A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Accounts are prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost
convention and to comply in all material aspects with the applicable
accounting principles in India, the accounting standards issued by the

reported period. Management believes that the estimates used in
preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.
Future results could differ from these estimates.

Cost of Leasehold Land is amortised over the period of lease. Cost of
Leasehold improvements is amortised over the primary period of lease.
However, in cases where the company as a lessee has the right of
renewal of lease and it is intended to renew for further periods, then
the cost of such leasehold improvements is amortised over such extended
period.
ii) On Intangible Assets:
a) Goodwill
At the time of acquisition of the business, the difference between the
cost of investments and the fair value of assets as at the date of

f) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of the asset
exceeds its recoverable value. Recoverable amount is the higher of an
asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the
present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its
useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of
the asset in an arm''s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing
parties, less the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is charged to

instruments to hedge the highly probable forecast sales in foreign
currency. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow
hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in
the Accounting Standard 30 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement" (ASÂ30).
The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company''s policies

shareholders'' funds and the ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Changes in the fair
value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge

A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Accounts are prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost
convention and to comply in all material aspects with the applicable
accounting principles in India, the accounting standards issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions
of the Companies Act, 1956.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in India requires the Management to make
estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of
the financial statements and the reported income and expenses during
the reported period. Management believes that the estimates used in
preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.
Future results could differ from these estimates.
b) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognised when goods are supplied to customers and are
recorded net of sales tax/ value added tax, trade discounts, Rebate and
Returns but includes excise duty. Dividend income on investments is
accounted when the right to receive the dividend is established.
Revenue in respect of Insurance/other claims, interest etc. is
recognised only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate
collection will be made.
c) EXPORT BENEFITS
Export benefits under various schemes of Government of India are
accounted on accrual basis on the basis of exports made and the value
of imports made/ to be made there against.

the rates and in the manner specified in schedule XIV of the said act.
Cost of Leasehold Land is amortised over the period of lease.
Cost of Leasehold improvements is amortised over the primary period of
lease. However, in cases where the company as a lessee has the right of
renewal of lease and it is intended to renew for further periods, then
the cost of such leasehold improvements is amortised over such extended
period, not exceeding 10 years.
ii) On Intangible Assets:
a) Goodwill
At the time of acquisition of the business, the difference between the
cost of investments and the fair value of assets as at the date of
acquisition is accounted for as goodwill. Goodwill is amortised over a
period of 10 years.
Goodwill on amalgamation in the nature of merger is amortised over a
period of 5 years.
b) Computer software is amortised on straight line basis over a period
of 6 years.
f) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds
its recoverable value. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's
net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present
value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its
useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of
the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing
parties, less the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is charged to
the Profit & Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as
impaired. The impaired loss recognised in prior accounting periods is
reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of the recoverable
value.
g) INVESTMENTS
Investments are classified into long-term investments and current
investments. Investments, which are intended to be held for more than

provision for diminution is made to recognize a decline other than
temporary in the value of long term investments. Current investments
are valued at cost or fair value whichever is lower.

outside India. They are stated at cost by converting at the rate of
exchange prevalent at the time of acquisition thereof.
Any profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of
the average cost of acquisition.
h) TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY

prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated
in foreign currencies are restated at the exchange rate prevailing on
the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on settlement of
the transaction and on account of restatement of monetary items are
dealt with in the Profit and Loss Account.
Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency
risk and outstanding as on balance sheet date are translated at year
end exchange rates. The premium or discount arising at the inception of
such forward exchange contracts are amortised as income or expense over
the life of the contract.
Gains/Losses on settlement of transactions arising on

approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on
the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company's
risk management strategy.
Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value, and are
remeasured at subsequent reporting dates.
Changes in the fair value of these derivatives that are designated and
effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in
shareholders' funds and the ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in the profit and loss account.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do
not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in the profit and loss
account as they arise.
If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net
cumulative gain or loss recognised in shareholders' funds is
transferred to the profit and loss account for the period.
