rates, foreigncurrency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive
instruments. Market risk isattributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and
deposits, foreign currency receivables,payables and loans and borrowings.

manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial
condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual
credit period and limits are set accordingly. The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition
of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting
period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default
occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers
reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information to decide on this such as:

The resulting difference between the carrying values of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements as at the transition date under Ind AS and Previous GAAP have been recognised directly in equity (retained earnings or another appropriate category of equity). Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
A. Optional exemptions
a) Deemed cost

Ind AS estimates as at April 1, 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:
-Investment in equity instruments carried at FVTPL or FVOCI; and -Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.
b) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.

I. Reconciliation of Balance sheet as at April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017
II. Reconciliation of Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2017
III. Reconciliation of Equity as at April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017
The presentation requirements under Previous GAAP differs from Ind AS and hence Previous GAAP information has been regrouped for ease of reconciliation with Ind AS.
The Regrouped Previous GAAP information is derived from the Financial Statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Previous GAAP.
Notes to first time adoption
Note 1: Remeasurements of post employment benefit obligations
Under the previous GAAP, cost relating to post employment benefit obligations including actuarial gain/losses were recognised in Profit & Loss. Under Ind AS, actuarial gain/losses on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit & loss.
Note 2: Security deposit
Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of lease term) are recorded at transaction price. Under Ind AS All financial assets are required to be recognised at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued the security deposits and the difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognised as prepaid rent.
Note 3: Borrowings
Ind AS 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards borrowings to be deducted from the transaction value on initial recognition. These cost are recognised in profit & loss over the tenure of borrowings as a part of the interest expense by applying effective interest rate method.
Note 4: Deferred taxes
Under previous GAAP, deferred taxes were recognised based on Profit & loss approach i.e. tax impact on difference between the accounting income and taxable income. Under Ind AS, deferred tax is recognised by following balance sheet approach i.e. tax impact on temporary difference between the carrying value of asset and liabilities in the books and their respective tax base.
6. Disclosure pursuant to Ind as - 19 "employee benefits"
i) Gratuity: In accordance with the applicable laws, the company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("The Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement (subject to completion of five years of continuous employment), death, incapacitation or termination of employment that are based on last drawn salary and tenure of employment. Liabilities with regard to the gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation on the reporting date and the company makes annual contribution to the gratuity fund administered by life Insurance companies under their respective group gratuity schemes.
D. Assumptions
With the objective of presenting the plan assets and plan liabilities of the defined benefits plans at their fair value on the balance sheet, assumptions under Ind AS 19 are set by reference to market conditions at the valuation date.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
ii) Compensated Absences: The company permits encashment of compensated absence accumulated by their employees on retirement, separation and during the course of service. The liability in respect of the company, for outstanding balance of leave at the balance sheet date us determined and provided on the basis of actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date performed by an independent actuary.
