These were recognised as an expense during the year and included in ''changes in inventories of work-in-progress,stock-in-trade and finished goods in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company has an accounting policy to do the work-in-progress (WIP) inventory valuation on standard costing at the time of production and at each month end this cost has been actualized based on the best estimate. Company does actualization of WIP inventory at regular interval by way of physical verification. During the current year, the Company has performed the physical verification in December 2021 and March 2022 and recorded the gain of Rs. 433 and Rs.109 respectively.

(v) Nature and purpose of other reserves

(i) Securities premium

Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

(ii) General reserve

General reserve is kept aside out of Company''s profits and are used to meet future obligations.

(iii) Other equity - revaluation

As the Company has opted for exemption under paragraph D7AA of Ind AS 101 and also elected the cost model under Ind AS 16 for subsequent measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment, the revaluation reserve recognised under previous GAAP has been transferred to ''Other equity- revaluation'' on the date of transition to Ind AS. This balance does not constitute free reserves available for distribution as dividend in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

(a) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates

Provision for customs, excise and sales tax litigation: These represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings.

Provision for replacement loss: Replacement loss reserves are based on past claims experience, sales history and other considerations. Replacement loss is provided on the sale of our products and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Tyres replacement offered by the Company is on a prorated basis.

(c) Employee Benefit Obligations

(A) Leave obligations

The amount of the provision of Rs. 741 (March 31, 2021 - Rs. 650) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

(v) Risk Exposures:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below : Salary Increases:

Actual salary increases will increase the Plan''s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability.

Investment Risk:

If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.

Discount Rate:

Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan''s liability.

Mortality & disability:

Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.

Withdrawals:

Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan''s liability.

The Company through its Trusts ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans.

The Company through its Trusts actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

A large portion of assets in 2021-22 consists of government and corporate bonds, although the Company through its Trusts also invests in equities and mutual funds. The plan asset mix is in compliance with the requirements of the respective local regulations.

(c) The Company has established a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing legislation under sections 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. For this purpose, the Company has appointed independent consultants for conducting Transfer Pricing Study. Management is of the opinion that its international transactions with associated enterprises have been undertaken at arms'' length basis at duly negotiated prices on usual commercial terms. The Company has submitted the Accountants'' Report in form 3CEB upto the financial year ended on March 31, 2021 as required under section 92E of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The carrying amounts of security deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, creditors for capital items, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, lease liabilities and other financial assets/ liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The Company does not have any financial instruments where significant estimation was involved in determination of its fair value.

28 Financial Risk Management

The Company ''s activities expose it to the market risk, liquidity risk and the credit risk. The Company''s risk management is carried out by the treasury department for cash and cash equivalent, deposits with banks, foreign currency risk exposure and liquidity risk under various approved policies. The risk management for trade receivables is carried out by controlling department of the Company.

(A) Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, other bank balance, trade receivables and other financial assets.

(i) Credit risk management

(a) Cash and cash equivalents and other bank balance:

The Company is in control of its exposure to these financial instruments by diversifying the deposit, by investing cash and cash equivalents and other bank balance based on counterparty credit strength as measured by long-term credit ratings of the three major rating agencies (Standard & Poors, Moody''s and Fitch) and by monitoring the financial strength of these banks on regular basis.

(b) Trade Receivables:

The Company has Credit Policy and the independent credit control department to review the credit worthiness of the customers and assess the recoverability of the asset. Finance Director is the authority to approve any exception to the Policy.

Customer credit risk is managed basis established policies of the Company, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management which helps in assessing the risk at the initial recognition of the asset. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly and closely monitored. The Company has a monthly process of following past due analysis leading to very few cases of bad debts and delayed payments. The same is evident from the earlier years receivable write-off. The Company provides for any outstanding beyond 180 days. The trade receivables on the respective reporting dates are net off the allowance which is sufficient to cover the entire lifetime loss of sales recognised including those that are currently less than 180 days outstanding.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payment within 180 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates.

The Company believe that there are efficient processes established to monitor and control the risk of loss associated with receivables.

(c) Other financial assets:

Other financial assets of the Company mainly comprises of security deposit with Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Limited, security deposits for the rental premises and others, accrued interest on fixed deposits with banks, deposits held as lien with Banks and other receivables from related parties.

Credit risk exposure with respect to other financial assets are negligible as they are either supported by legal agreement or are with Nationalised banks and Government organisations:

- Security deposit with Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Limited, a public sector organisation, represents low credit risk.

- Security deposits for the rental premises and others are with counter parties with strong capacity to meet the obligation, hence the risk of default is considered to be negligible.

- Deposits held as lien with Banks are with Nationalised Bank, hence the risk of default is considered to be negligible.

- Accrued interest on fixed deposits are with banks having strong financial strength as explained above, hence the risk of default is considered to be negligible.

- Other receivables from related parties are as per approved policy and the established procedure to monitor the dues from related parties which also ensures timely payments and no default, hence credit risk is negligible.

(ii) Provision for expected credit losses

Customer credit risk is managed basis established policies of the Company, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has a diverse customer base, as its customers are located and operate in largely independent markets and does not see any significant concentration of risk related to reliance on any single customer. The credit quality of the customers is evaluated based on the approved policies and established processes.

Impairment of Trade Receivables:

The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(B) Liquidity Risk

The Company''s primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operation. The cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by operating results and changes in the working capital requirements.

The Company intend to operate the business in a way that allows the Company to address its needs with existing cash and available financing arrangement if they cannot be funded by cash generated from operations.

The Company believe that its liquidity position is adequate to fund the operating and investing needs and to provide with flexibility to respond to further changes in the business environment.

(C) Market Risk

(ia) Foreign Currency Risk: The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and EUR. The Company has approved policies to enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on the results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows.

Foreign currency exposure of the Company is minimal.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings therefore it is not impacted by interest rate risk.

(iii) Price Risk: Price risk arises from exposure to equity securities prices from investments held by the Company. The Company does not have any investments in equity shares.

29 Capital Management (a) Risk Management

The Company''s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has only one class of equity shares and no debt. Therefore, there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

30 Segment Information

The Company is engaged in the business of sales of automotive tyres, tubes and flaps. The Company sells tyres of its own brand "Goodyear”. The Company is domiciled in India.

The Company has monthly review and forecasting procedure in place. The review involves the operating results of the Company as a whole except for sales and sales volume information which is available on disaggregated basis.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), Managing Director, performs a detailed review of the operating results including cashflow, working capital, headcount of the Company as a whole and sales and sales volume on disaggregated basis and thereby makes decisions about the allocation of resources among the various functions. Since the operating results of each of the functions are not considered individually by the CODM, the functions do not meet the requirements of Ind AS 108 for classification as an operating segment, hence there is only one operating segment namely, "Automotive tyres,tubes & flaps”.

In 2008, the State of Haryana (the State) introduced the Haryana Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2008 ("Act”) which High Court of Punjab and Haryana declared as ''Unconstitutional''. As on date, the State did not frame and notify enabling "Rules” under the Act, and no demand has been received by the Company. Accordingly, the amount of liability involved, if any, under the Act also cannot be measured.

Further, on November 11, 2016 the nine Judges Bench of Hon''ble Supreme Court held that the State Governments do have right to levy an ''Entry Tax'', however (i) whether States have enacted correct legislations in alignment with Indian Constitutional provisions, (ii) whether such taxes demanded by State Governments were actually used for intended development of local area and (iii) the interpretation of the word "Local Area” were among questions not addressed by the November 11, 2016 ruling, but instead are to be heard by Hon''ble Divisional Bench of the Supreme Court individually for each state, on merits. The above mentioned matters were heard by the Hon''ble

Divisional Bench of the Supreme Court and remanded back to High Court of Punjab and Haryana and directed that fresh petitions should be filed by the parties, based on the principles given by the nine Judges Bench of Hon''ble Supreme Court.The Company filed its fresh petition in May 2017.

Having regard to the status of matter above and in the absence of any rules notified under which tax can be levied or measured and matter is also time barred since no demand has been raised till date since enactment of the Act, the management supported by the legal opinion has assessed obligation towards entry tax, if any, as a contingent liability.

G. In Feburary 2019, the Hon''ble Supreme Court has passed a judgement in relation to the non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of ''basic wages'' of the relevant employees for the purpose of determining contribution to provident fund under Employees Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. According to the management and legal opinion obtained by the management, there are the various interpretational issues related to this matter, therefore, as of now, the impact on the financials statements, if any can not be ascertained.

* The Company has given financial guarantee to Sarva Haryana Gramin Bank (Bank) in respect of loans taken by its employees. In case any employee on who''s behalf a guarantee has been provided by the Company, opts to leave his/ her employment, then the Company is required to pay the outstanding balance in his loan account to the Bank from the proceeds of the terminal benefits payable to him after adjusting the Company''s dues. The Company is not exposed to any loss, futher the fair value of financial guarantee is not material.

** These represent the best estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements

are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings. Amount of contingent liabilities are inclusive of Interest as per order.

34 Events occurring after the reporting period

The issue of grants of restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to the employees of the Company are covered under the same Performance Plan as declared by the ultimate holding company.

Stock appreciation rights (SAR)

Grants of Stock Appreciation Right generally have a graded vesting period of four years whereby one-fourth of the awards vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, an exercise price equal to the fair market value of one share of the ultimate holding company on the date of grant (calculated as the average of the high and low price or the closing market price on that date depending on the terms of the related Plan) and a contractual term of ten years. Stock Appreciation Rights are cancelled on, or 90 days following, termination of employment unless termination is due to retirement, death or disability under certain circumstances, in which case, all outstanding options vest fully and remain outstanding for a term set forth in the related grant agreement. As the obligation to settle the share based transaction rests with the Company in cash, hence these are accounted for as cash-settled options. The Company has not granted any SAR after December 2014.

Restricted stock units have vesting period of three years beginning on the date of grant. Restricted stock units will be settled through the issuance of an equivalent number of shares of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, USA common stock.

These changes do not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

b Ind AS 16 - Proceeds before intended use The amendments mainly prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an entity will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The Company does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its recognition of its property, plant and equipment in its financial statements.

c Ind AS 37 - Onerous Contracts - Costs of fulfilling a contract The amendments specify that that the ''cost of fulfilling'' a contract comprises the ''costs that relate directly to the contract''. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is essentially a clarification and the Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

d Ind AS 109 - Annual improvements to Ind AS (2021) The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ''10 percent'' test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability.

42 Estimation of uncertainties relating to the pandemic from COVID-19:

The Company has considered the ongoing possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID 19 on the carrying amount of all assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2022. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these financials statements has used internal and external sources on the expected future performance of the Company. The Company has made assessment of its liquidity position for the current period and expects that the carrying amount of these assets / liabilities will be recovered / settled and subsequent liquidity is available to fund the business operations for at least another 12 months. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company''s financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial statements and would be recognized prospectively.

(a) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates

Provision for customs, excise and sales tax litigation: These represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings.

Provision for replacement loss: Replacement loss reserves are based on past claims experience, sales history and other considerations. Replacement loss is provided on the sale of our products and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Tyres replacement offered by the Company is on a prorated basis.

(c) Employee Benefit Obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company liability for sick and earned leave.

The amount of the provision of Rs. 515 (March 31, 2016 - Rs.418, January 1, 2015 - Rs. 359) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

During the year/period, the Company has recognized the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss:

C. Defined Benefit Plans

a) Gratuity

b) Provident Fund

(i) Balance Sheet amounts - Gratuity

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

(v) Risk Exposures:

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below :

Salary Increases:

Actual salary increases will increase the Plan''s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability.

Investment Risk:

If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.

Discount Rate:

Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan''s liability.

Mortality & disability:

Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities. Withdrawals:

Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan''s liability.

The Company through its Trusts ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans.

The Company through its Trusts actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

(vi) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending 31 March 2018 are Rs. 721.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 13.95 years (Mar 31,2016- 13.67 years, Jan 1, 2015- 13.84 years).

1 (b) Corporate social responsibility expenditure

Amount required to be spent as per section 135 of the Companies Act 2013.

Details of expenditure towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities:

a) Gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the period was Rs. 324 (Previous Year Rs. 252).

Figures in brackets represent previous period numbers.

Amount unspent during the year was Rs. 68 ( Mar 31, 2016 - Rs.1).

The lower spend was due to procedural delay in obtaining clearance for the project from the concerned authorities. The Company stays committed to its corporate social responsibility and intends to make concerted efforts to spend the shortfall in the next financial year over the prescribed CSR amount for that year.

(b) Significant estimate

In calculating the tax expense for the current period, the Company has treated certain expenditures as being deductible for tax purposes. However, the tax legislation in relation to these expenditures is not clear and the Company/ tax authorities are litigating these matters. If the ruling should not be favourable, this would increase the Company’s current tax payable and current tax expense by Rs. 726, respectively. The impact in the prior year would have been an increase in current tax payable and current tax expense by Rs. 816.

*The surcharge on the Indian corporate tax rate was increased from 10% to 12% effective from 1 April 2015. As a result, the relevant deferred tax balances have been remeasured. The impact of the change in tax rate has been recognized in tax expense in profit or loss

(d) The Company has established a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing legislation under sections 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. For this purpose, the Company has appointed independent consultants for conducting Transfer Pricing Study.

The Company has submitted the Accountants'' Report in form 3CEB up to the financial year ended on March 31, 2016 as required under section 92E of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are:

(a) recognized and measured at fair value; and

(b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair value are disclosed in the financial statements

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instrument into three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.

-Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

-Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

-Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable. There are no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year/ period.

(ii) Valuation technique and process used to determine fair value

The fair values for security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

(iii) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, creditors for capital items, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and other financial assets/ liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The fair values for security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

The Company does not have any financial instruments where significant estimation was involved in determination of its fair value.

2 Financial Risk Management

The Company ‘s activities expose it to the market risk, liquidity risk and the credit risk. The Company’s risk management is carried out by the treasury department for cash and cash equivalent, deposits with banks/ financial institutions, foreign currency risk exposure and liquidity risk under various approved policies. The risk management for trade receivables is carried out by controlling department of the Company.

(A) Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other financial assets.

(i) Credit risk management

(a) Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company is in control of its exposure to these financial instruments by diversifying the deposit, by investing cash and equivalents based on counterparty credit strength as measured by long-term credit ratings of the three major rating agencies (Standard & Poors, Moody’s and Fitch) and by monitoring the financial strength of these banks/ financial institutions on regular basis.

By controlling and monitoring exposure to financial institutions in this manner, the Company believe that it effectively manage the risk of loss due to non performance by a banks/ financial Institutions.

(b) Trade Receivables:

The Company has Credit Policy and the independent credit control department to review the credit worthiness of the customers and assess the recoverability of the asset. Finance Director is the authority to approve any exception to the Policy.

Customer credit risk is managed basis established policies of the Company, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management which helps in assessing the risk at the initial recognition of the asset. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly and closely monitored. The Company has a monthly process of following past due analysis leading to very few cases of bad debts and delayed payments. The same is evident from the earlier years receivable write-off. The Company provides for any outstanding beyond 180 days. The trade receivables on the respective reporting dates are net off the allowance which is sufficient to cover the entire lifetime loss of sales recognized including those that are currently less than 180 days outstanding.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payment within 180 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates.

The Company believe that there are efficient processes established to monitor and control the risk of loss associated with receivables.

(c) Other financial assets:

Other financial assets of the Company mainly comprises of security deposit with Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Limited, security deposits for the rental premises, accrued interest on fixed deposits with banks and financial institutions, deposits held as lien with Banks and other receivables from related parties.

There is no credit risk exposure with respect to other financial assets as they are either supported by legal agreement or are with Nationalized banks and Government organizations:

- Security deposit with Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Limited, a public sector organization, represents low credit risk.

- Security deposits for the rental premises are with counter parties with strong capacity to meet the obligation, hence the risk of default is considered to be negligible.

- Deposits held as lien with Banks are with Nationalized Bank, hence the risk of default is considered to be negligible.

- Accrued interest on fixed deposits are with banks and financial institutions having strong financial strength as explained above, hence the risk of default is considered to be negligible.

- Other receivables from related parties are as per approved policy and the established procedure to monitor the dues from related parties which also ensures timely payments and no default, hence there is no credit risk exposure involved.

(ii) Provision for expected credit losses

Customer credit risk is managed basis established policies of the Company, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has a diverse customer base, as its customers are located and operate in largely independent markets and does not see any significant concentration of risk related to reliance on any single customer. The credit quality of the customers is evaluated based on the approved policies and established processes.

(iii) Reconciliation of loss allowance provision - Trade receivable

Significant estimates and judgments Impairment of Trade Receivables:

The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(B) Liquidity Risk

The Company''s primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operation. The cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by operating results and changes in the working capital requirements.

The Company intend to operate the business in a way that allows us to address these needs with our existing cash and available financing arrangement if they cannot be funded by cash generated from operations.

The Company believe that its liquidity position is adequate to fund the operating and investing needs and to provide with flexibility to respond to further changes in the business environment

(i) Financing arrangements

The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time. No drawdown as at Mar 31, 2017, Mar 31, 2016 and Jan 1, 2015.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below analyses the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all non-derivative financial liabilities.

The amount disclosed in the table are the undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(C) Market Risk

(ia) Foreign Currency risk: The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and EUR. The Company have approved policies to enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on the results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. The Company does not have material foreign currency exposure currently.

The Company believe that there are efficient processes established to monitor and control the risk of loss associated with foreign currency exposure.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings therefore it it not impacted by interest rate risk.

(iii) Price Risk: Price risk arises from exposure to equity securities prices from investments held by the Company. The Company does not have any investments in equity shares.

25 Capital Management (a) Risk Management

F. Haryana Local Area development Tax (HLADT)

The Haryana Government introduced the Haryana Local Area Development Tax Act, 2000 (“HLADT Act”). The liability of entry tax under the said HLADT Act was discharged by Goodyear till December 2006. In 2007, the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court held the HLADT Act was ‘unconstitutional’ for the reason that the legislation was not compensatory in nature as the State of Haryana did not utilize the tax for its intended use of local area development. The HLADT Act was later repealed by the State without creation of any further liability.

In 2008, the State of Haryana introduced the “Haryana Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2008” (“HET Act”), which the Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court declared as ‘unconstitutional’. The State did not frame and notify enabling “Entry Tax Rules” and no notice or demand was received by Goodyear under the HET Act. Accordingly, the amount of liability under the HET Act involved has not been quantified by the Company.

All the batch of entry tax petitions emerging from various High Courts were referred to the Hon’ble Nine Judge Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. On November 11, 2016, the nine-judge bench of Hon’ble Supreme Court laid down certain principles on the basis of which the State entry tax legislations were to be tested. The question involving the interpretation of the term local area and the levy of entry tax on imports from outside India were referred to be heard by the division bench of the Supreme Court for each State on merits.

The division bench of Supreme Court on March 21, 2017 remanded the matter to the Punjab and Haryana High Court for the Haryana batch of petitions and directed that fresh petitions should be filed by the parties (including Goodyear) based on the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court (nine Judge bench).

In view of above, Goodyear is in the process of filing a fresh petition in the High Court to protect its interest. Further, on the basis of the legal opinion in terms of the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court (nine Judge bench), Goodyear has a strong case.

* The Company has given financial guarantee to Sarva Haryana Gramin Bank (Bank) in respect of loans taken by its employees. In case any employee on who''s behalf a guarantee has been provided by the Company, opts to leave his/ her employment, then the Company is required to pay the outstanding balance in his loan account to the Bank from the proceeds of the terminal benefits payable to him after adjusting the Company’s dues. The Company is covered and is not exposed to any loss. Therefore the fair value of financial guarantee is not material.

** These represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings.

(b) Non-cancellable operating leases

Cancellable: The Company''s cancellable operating lease arrangement mainly consists of residential premises, warehouses and offices taken on lease for periods between 1-10 years. Terms of lease include terms for renewal, increase in rents in future periods and terms of cancellation.

5 Events occurring after the reporting period

Refer to note 25 for the final dividend recommended by the directors which is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting.

6 Share-based payments

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, USA (Ultimate holding company) issues stock-based awards to employees under their approved Performance Plan. The issue of grants of restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to the employees of the Company are covered under the same Performance Plan as declared by the ultimate holding company.

Stock appreciation rights (SAR)

Grants of Stock Appreciation Right generally have a graded vesting period of four years whereby one-fourth of the awards vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, an exercise price equal to the fair market value of one share of the ultimate holding company on the date of grant (calculated as the average of the high and low price or the closing market price on that date depending on the terms of the related Plan) and a contractual term of ten years. Stock Appreciation Rights are cancelled on, or 90 days following, termination of employment unless termination is due to retirement, death or disability under certain circumstances, in which case, all outstanding options vest fully and remain outstanding for a term set forth in the related grant agreement. As the obligation to settle the share based transaction rests with the Company, hence these are accounted for as cash-settled options.

Restricted stock units (RSU)

Restricted stock units have vesting period of three years beginning on the date of grant. Restricted stock units will be settled through the issuance of an equivalent number of shares of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, USA common stock. The Company is required to reimburse the ultimate holding company the cost of the share issuance as on the date of vesting. As the obligation to settle the share based transaction rests with the Company, hence these are accounted for as cash-settled options.

iii. Measurement of fair values

The fair value of SAR’s have been measured using the Black Scholes formula. Service and non-performance conditions attached to the arrangements were not taken into account in measuring fair value.

The fair value of grant of restricted stock unit is based on the closing market price of a share of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron’s common stock on the date of grant, thereafter re-measuring the value on each reporting date at the closing market price of a share.

7 Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, ‘Statement of cash flows’ and Ind AS 102, ‘Share-based payment.’ These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, ‘Statement of cash flows’ and IFRS 2, ‘Share-based payment,’ respectively. The amendments are applicable to the Company from April 1, 2017.

Amendment to Ind AS 7:

Liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.

The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the effect on the financial statements is being evaluated. Amendment to Ind AS 102:

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.

It clarifies that the fair value of cash-settled awards is determined on a basis consistent with that used for equity-settled awards. Market based performance conditions and non-vesting conditions are reflected in the ‘fair values’, but non-market performance conditions and service vesting conditions are reflected in the estimate of the number of awards expected to vest. Also, the amendment clarifies that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as such from the date of the modification. Further, the amendment requires the award that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes to be treated as equity-settled in its entirety. The cash payment to the tax authority is treated as if it was part of an equity settlement The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the effect on the financial statements is being evaluated.

8 The Financial Year of the Company was changed during last reporting period from a ''January-December'' year to an ''April-March'' year, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company for the current year ended March 31, 2017 are for a period of twelve months, from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 and are therefore not comparable with those of the previous period ended March 31, 2016 as those were for a period of fifteen months, from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016.

9 First time adoption of Ind As Transition to Ind As

These are the Company’s first financial statement prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

The accounting policies set out in Note 1, have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the 15 month ended March 31, 2016 and in the preparation of opening Ind AS balance sheet as at January 1, 2015. In preparing its opening balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes:

A.1 Exemptions and exceptions availed Ind AS optional exemptions

A.1.1 Deemed cost: Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for decommissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying values as at January 1, 2015.

A.1.2 Leases: Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected not to be material.

The Company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/arrangements.

A.1.3 Decommissioning Liabilities included in the cost of property, plant and equipment: An entity need not to comply with the requirements of Appendix A of Ind AS 16 i.e. Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities for liabilities occurred before the date of transition to Ind AS. An entity can measure the liability as the date of transition.

The Company has elected to measure such liabilities as on the date of transition and on the basis of such evaluations no liabilities need to be recognized.

A.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions

A.2.1 De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities: Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity’s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.

The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.

A.2.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets: Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.

A.2.3 Impairment of financial assets: An entity shall determine the approximate credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognized and compare that to the credit risk at the date of transition to Ind AS. This should be based on reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. If an entity is unable to make this determination without undue cost or effort, it shall recognize a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date until that financial instrument is derecognized.

The Company has availed this exception to analyze credit risk of the financial assets as on the date of transition instead of the date of initial recognition.

A.2.4 Embedded derivatives: Entity shall assess whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative either on the basis of conditions that existed on the date of contract or on the date of significant modification of the contract, whichever is later.

The Company has elected to analyze the requirements to separate the embedded derivative from host contract and account for as a derivative on the date of contract.

B reconciliation between previous GAAP and Ind As

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliation from previous GAAP to Ind AS reconciliation of equity as at the date of transition (January 1, 2015)

Notes to first time adoption

Note 10 Capitalization of spare parts

The previous GAAP required spares (other than spares used in connection with an item of fixed asset with irregular use) to be accounted for as an inventory and to be charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when consumed. Whereas under Ind AS, spares are recognized as property, plant and equipment (PPE) when they meet the recognition criteria under Ind AS 16. Due to this change in accounting standard, certain spare parts have been capitalized as PPE and accordingly depreciation has been charged on such assets. Spares capitalized as on January 1, 2015 and during the fifteen month period ending March 31,2016 amounted to Rs. 81 and Rs 45, respectively. Additional depreciation charged during the fifteen month period ending March 31,2016 amounted to Rs 33.

Note 11 security deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease term ) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognized at fair cost. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transactional value of the security deposit has been recognized as prepaid rent. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased by Rs. 69 as at March 31,2016 ( Rs. 100 as at January 1, 2015). The prepaid rent increased by Rs. 56 as at March 31,2016 ( Rs. 85 as at January 1,2015). Total equity decreased by Rs.15 as on January 1,2015. The profit for the period and the total equity as at March 31,2016 decreased by Rs. 2 due to amortization of the prepaid rent of Rs. 29 which was partially off-set by the notional interest income of Rs. 31 recognized on security deposits.

Note 12 Share-based payments

Under Ind AS, Liabilities for the stock-based payments (Stock Appreciation Right and Restricted Stock Units) are recognized as employee benefit expenses over the relevant service period. The liabilities are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date and are presented as under Provisions in the balance sheet. Consequently, a provision of Rs.186 was recognized as on January 1, 2015 with corresponding impact in retained earnings. Rs. 58 was credited in the statement of profit and loss for the fifteen month period ended March 31, 2016.

Note 13 Deferred tax

Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12, “Income taxes”, requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the Balance Sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences, which was not required under Indian GAAP.

In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to additional temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity. On the date of transition, the net impact was increase in deferred tax assets/(liabilities) is of (Rs.25), whereas as on March 31, 2016, the net impact was increase in deferred tax assets/ (liabilities) is of (Rs.2).

Note 14 Deferred revenue - Customer loyalty program

The Company operates a customer reward points program. The programme allows customers to accumulate points on purchase of tyres. The points can be redeemed by the customers for free products.

Under the previous GAAP, the Company created a provision towards its liability under the programme. Under Ind AS, the consideration allocated to the customer reward points has been deferred and will be recognized as revenue when the reward points are redeemed or lapsed.

On the date of transition i.e. January 1, 2015, deferred revenue of Rs. 189 was recognized with corresponding decrease in trade payables. For the year ended March 31, 2016, total revenue and total expense of Rs. 426 were recognized.

Note 15 Proposed dividend

Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend of Rs. 3,347 as at March 31, 2016 (January 1, 2015 - Rs. 2,779) included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity fluctuated by an equivalent amount.

Note 16 Excise duty

Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the statement of profit and loss as part of expenses. This change has resulted in an increase in total revenue and total expenses for the fifteen month ended March 31, 2016 by Rs. 12,898. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.

Note 17 Cash Discount

Under In AS, all cash discounts are netted off from revenue, whereas in earlier Indian GAAP, cash discount was shown as part of other expenses. This change has resulted in decrease in total revenue and total expenses by Rs. 2270. There is no impact on total equity and profit.

Note 18 Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs. 15. There is no impact on total equity.

Note 19 Lease Assets

Under previous GAAP, arrangements that did not take the legal form of lease were accounted for based on the legal form of such arrangements e.g. job work arrangements. Under Ind AS, any arrangements (even if not legally structured as lease) which conveys a right to use an assets in return for a payment or series of payments are identified as leases provided certain conditions are met. In case of such arrangements are determined to be in nature of leases, such arrangements are required to be classified into finance or operating leases as per requirements of Ind AS 17, Leases.

The Company had entered into an agreement in the year 1997 for purchase of nitrogen gas wherein a gas plant was built in within the premises of the Company. The said plant was assessed to be a finance lease on the date of transition to Ind AS. The life of the plant under consideration has expired on the transition date, therefore, gross block and accumulated depreciation of Rs. 615 was recognized in plant and machinery. There is no impact on the total equity.

Note 20 Change in Useful life

Under previous GAAP, the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets was revised in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013, with effect from January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the above mentioned changes in useful life of assets, for certain assets who’s revised useful life was over as on December 31, 2014, the net book value of Rs. 410 (net of deferred tax of Rs. 154) was deducted from the retained earnings and Rs. 110 relating to fixed assets revalued earlier, was released from revaluation reserve to general reserve.

Under Ind AS, as the Company has opted for exemption under paragraph D7AA of Ind AS 101 and also elected the cost model under Ind AS 16 for subsequent measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment, this change in accounting estimate has been accounted for prospectively and accordingly Rs. 564 has been charged to the statement of profit or loss for the fifteen months period ended March 31, 2016. The revaluation reserve recognized under previous GAAP has been transferred to ‘Other equity-revaluation’ on the date of transition to Ind AS.

Note 21 retained earnings

Retained earnings as at January 1, 2015 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

Note 22 other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ‘other comprehensive income’ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.

E. Haryana Local Area Development Tax (HLADT)

In the year 2007, Hon''ble Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, on a reference from the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India, had held the Haryana Local Area Development Tax (HLADT) as unconstitutional. Subsequently in the year 2008, the State of Haryana introduced "Haryana Tax on Entry of Goods Into Local Area Act, 2008 (Entry Tax)" by repealing the Haryana Local Area Development Tax Act, 2000 and the same was also held unconstitutional by the Hon''ble Punjab & Haryana High Court.

Earlier based on the legal opinion obtained by the Company and management’s assessment, provision towards liability for Haryana Local Area Development Tax (HLADT) for the periods prior to March 2008 aggregating to Rs. 540 lakhs was written back during the year 2008. The amount already paid for HLADT till December 2006 and expensed in earlier years is Rs.1,938 lakhs.

Pursuant to an interim order of Hon''ble Supreme Court in October 2009, there is a stay on recovery of tax with a direction to assesses for filing their returns of tax and giving undertaking that in the event of their losing the matter, they will deposit the tax along with the interest at a rate which will be determined by the Court. During the year 2010, on the matter being heard by a bench of five Hon''ble judges of the Hon''ble Supreme Court, it was requested to Hon''ble Chief Justice of India to refer the matter to a suitable larger bench for deciding the constitutional validity of the levy. The larger bench of Hon''ble Supreme Court is yet to be constituted. However, based on legal opinion obtained by the Company and management''s assessment, no provision for HLADT and Entry tax has been considered necessary.

** These represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes. It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings.

HUDA has further gone into appeal before the Hon''ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana, to our knowledge the same has not yet been admitted.

A. Haryana Local Area Development Tax (HLADT)

In the year 2007 Hon''ble Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, on a reference from the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India, had held the Haryana Local Area Development Tax (HLADT) as unconstitutional. Subsequently in the year 2008 the state of Haryana introduced "Haryana Tax on Entry of Goods Into Local Area Act, 2008 (Entry Tax) by repealing the Haryana Local Area Development Tax Act, 2000 and the same was also held unconstitutional by the Hon''ble Punjab & Haryana High Court.

Earlier based on the legal opinion obtained by the Company and management''s assessment, provision towards liability for Haryana Local Area Development Tax (HLADT) for the periods prior to March 2008 aggregating to Rs. 540 lakhs was written back during the year 2008. The amount already paid for HLADT till December 2006 and expensed in earlier years is Rs.1,938 lakhs.

Pursuant to an interim order of Hon''ble Supreme Court in October 2009, there is a stay on recovery of tax with a direction to assessees for filing their returns of tax and giving undertaking that in the event of their losing the matter, they will deposit the tax along with the interest at a rate which will be determined by the court. During the year 2010 on the matter being heard by a bench of five Hon''ble judges of the Hon''ble Supreme Court, it was requested to Hon''ble Chief Justice of India to refer the matter to a suitable larger bench for deciding the constitutional validity of the levy The larger bench of Hon''ble Supreme Court is yet to be constituted. However, based on legal opinion obtained by the Company and management assessment, no provision for HLADT and Entry tax has been considered necessary

** These represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such disputes.
