Erstwhile HFCL Infotel had obtained this licence under fixed license fee regime under National Telecom Policy (NTP) 1994, valid for a period of 20 years from the effective date, and subsequently migrated from the fixed license fee regime to revenue sharing regime upon implementation of NTP 1999.

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.

A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.

2.7 Intangibles

All expenditure on intangible items are expensed as incurred unless it qualifies as an intangible asset as defined in Accounting Standard 26. The carrying value of intangible assets is assessed for recoverability by reference to the estimated future discounted net cash flows that are expected to be generated by the asset. Where this assessment indicates a deficit, the assets are written down to the market value or fair value as computed above.
