The Company contributes to Employees Provident Fund (a defined contribution plan) towards post employment benefits, which is administered by the respective Government authorities and the Company has no further obligation beyond making its contribution.

b) Defined benefit plans

The Company has a defined benefit plan namely gratuity for all its employees. The liability for the defined benefit plan of gratuity is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary at the year end, which is calculated using projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account.

c) Employee leave entitlement

The employees of the Company are entitled to leave as per the leave policy of the Company. The liability in respect of unutilized leave balances is provided as at the year end and charged to the profit and loss account.

9. Accounting for taxes on income:

a) Provision for income tax is made on the basis of the estimated taxable income for the accounting year in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961.

b) The deferred tax for timing differences between the book profits and tax profits for the year is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets arising from timing differences are recognised to the extent there is a virtual certainty that these would be realised in future and are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each balance sheet date.

10. Lease:

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account on straight-line basis over the lease term.

11. Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets upto the date of such acquisition or construction are capitalised as part of the cost of respective assets. Other borrowing costs are charged to profit and loss account in the period in which they are incurred.

12. Impairment of assets:

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the management estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the profit and loss account. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost.

13. Provisions and contingent liabilities:

The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, requires an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
