The cost for day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incuured.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Companyâs senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the companyâs operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when a company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains and losses) or interest.

The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expenses.
Contingent Liabilities
Wherever there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because (a) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or (b) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Show cause notices are not considered as Contingent Liabilities unless converted into demand.
(O) Taxation
Income Tax espense represent the sum of the tax currently payble and deferred tax Current Income Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Companyâs current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the relevant tax paying unit intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.
Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred Tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corrosponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset relised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The mesurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entilty intends and has ability to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future econmic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.
Current and Deferred Tax For The Year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to item that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity repectively.
(P) Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method as described in Ind AS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

In other cases it is accumulated in a â Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Accountâ and amortized over the balance period of the such long term asset/ liability but not beyond 31st MarcRs.2020
Long term foreign currency monetary items
The Company has availed the exemption of continuing the policy adopted for accounting for exchage differences arising from translation of long term foreign currency monetary items recognised in the financial statements for the period ending immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting period as per the previous GAAP.
(Q) Impairment
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetsâs carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetsâs fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assesssing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffuered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(R) Cash Flow Statement
The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by the indirect method set out in Ind AS-7 on Cash Flow Statements and presents cash flows by operating, investing and financing activities of the Company.
(S) Derivatives Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company enters into derivatives contracts in the nature of foreign currency swaps, currency options, forward contracts etc. to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates.

Share issue expenses have been debited to Securities Premium Account as per the provision of section 52 (2) of Companies Act, 2013
(w) Earnings Per Share
The Basic and Diulated Earnings Per Share (âEPSâ) is computed by dividing the profit after tax (loss) for the year by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earning per share, the net profit (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholder and the weighted average number of share outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for events of bonus issue and share split, if any.
(x) Dividends
Final dividends on equity shares are recorded on the date of approval by the shareholders of the Company.

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", to the extent that the
adoption did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other
authoritative pronouncement of the Company Law and other regulatory
requirements.
The Foreign currency forward contracts are fair valued at each
reporting date. The Company records the gain or loss on effective
hedges, if any in the "Hedging Reserve Account" until the transactions
are complete. On completion, the gain or loss is transferred to
statement of profit and loss account or adjusted to the fixed assets,
as the case may be, of that period. To designate foreign currency
forward contracts as an effective hedge, the management objectively
evaluates and evidence with appropriate supporting documents at the
inception of each contract whether the contract is effective in
achieving offsetting cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. In the
absence of a designation as effective hedge, a gain or loss is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Currently, hedge
undertaken by the Company are effective in nature and the resultant
gain or loss consequent to fair valuation is recognized in the Hedging
Reserve Account until the transaction is complete, at each reporting
date.

liability".

prevailing at the reporting date.

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", to the extent that the
adoption did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other
authoritative pronouncement of the Company Law and other regulatory
requirements.

reporting date. The Company records the gain or loss on effective
hedges, if any in the "Hedging Reserve Account" until the
transactions are complete. On completion, the gain or loss is
transferred to the profit and loss account or adjusted to the fixed
assets, as the case may be, of that period. To designate foreign
currency forward contracts as an effective hedge, the management
objectively evaluates and evidence with appropriate supporting
documents at the inception of each contract whether the contract is
effective in achieving offsetting cash flow attributable to the hedged
risk. In the absence of a designation as effective hedge, a gain or
loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss account.

assets are not recognized on the Company's balance sheet. Payments
under operating leases are recognized in statement of operations on a
