Central Government pursuant to Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules,
2006, other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India (ICAI) and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, to
the extent applicable.
b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the period reported. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized
prospectively in the current and future periods.
c) Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on despatch of goods to
customers which corresponds with transfer of all significant risks and
rewards of ownership to the buyer. The amount recognized as sale is
exclusive of sales tax, trade and quantity discounts.
Dividend income is recognized when unconditional right to receive the
payment is established.
Interest income on deposits and interest bearing securities is
recognized on the time proportionate method.
c) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation. The cost of tangible fixed assets includes
freight, duties and taxes and other incidental expenses related to the
acquisition, but exclude duties and taxes that are recoverable
subsequently from tax authorities. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to acquisition of those fixed assets which necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
are capitalized.
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on written down value method
in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 . If the
management''s estimates of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time
of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a
subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid
Schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the
management estimate of useful life/ remaining useful life. However as
of date, the management has not estimated the useful life of the assets
to be shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule.
d) Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible fixed assets are recorded at the consideration paid for
acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
economic useful lives on a straight line basis commencing from the date
the asset is available for its use. The management estimates the useful
lives for the various intangible assets as follows:
Description Estimated useful life (in years)
Software 6
e) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost comprising interest and finance charges directly
attributable to the construction of qualifying assets are capitalized
as part of the cost of that asset until the activities necessary to
prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are complete. Other
borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which
they are incurred.
f) 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 Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net
realizable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable
amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs is less than the 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 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 depreciable historical cost.
g) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion
and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost includes all taxes and duties, but

termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective
employee''s salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
Liabilities related to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial
valuation done by an independent '' actuary using projected unit credit
method as at March 31 each year.
Actuarial gains and losses in respect of post employment and other
long-term benefits are charged to the Profit and Loss Account.
ii) Compensated absences: Provision for long term compensated absences

method. Provision for short term compensated absences is made on actual
liability basis.
j) Income taxes
Income-tax expense comprise current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the
period determined in accordance with the income- tax law), and deferred
tax charge or credit (reflecting that tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the period). The
deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a
reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future;
however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss
under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there
is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or
written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain
(as the case may be) to be realized. Current tax and deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset to the extent to which the Company
has a legally enforceable right to set off and they relate to taxes on
income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
k) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for
the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per
share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive
potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted
earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted
average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential
equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares
been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of
the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later
date.
l) Cash flow statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing and
investing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash flows in
foreign currencies are accounted at average monthly exchange rates that
approximate the actual rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
m) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a
result of 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,
require 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. Contingent
assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial
statements.
n) Investments:
Long-term investments are stated at cost less any other-than-temporary
diminution in value, determined separately - for each individual
investment. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and
