1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
under the historical cost convention, in accordance, in material
respects, with the generally accepted accounting principles in India
(Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with Rule 7
of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of
the Act/Companies Act, 1956, as applicable.
The Financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the
historical cost convention except for categories of fixed assets
acquired before 1 July, 1998 that are carried at revalued amounts. The
Accounting Policies adopted in the preparation of then financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year
except for change in the Accounting Policy for Depreciation as more
fully described in Note No. 2.4.
2.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP required the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates as are recognised in the periods in
which the results are known/materialise.
2.3 Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation/amortisation and Impairment losses, if any. Cost is
inclusive of freight, duties, taxes, incidental expenses related to
acquisition/installation, adjusted for revaluation, if any.
Fixed assets acquired and put to use for project purposes are
capitalized when the project is ready for intended use and all costs
and revenues till then are capitalized with the project cost. Projects
under which tangible fixed assets are not yet ready for their intended
use are carried as capital-work-in-progress at cost comprising direct
cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
2.4 Depreciation and Amortisation
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been charged under Straight
Line Method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation in respect of increase in value of
assets due to revaluation is provided on Straight Line Method over the
remaining life of assets as estimated by the valuers.
Amortisation in respect of intangible assets is provided on straight
line basis over the period of underlying contract or estimated period
of its economic life.
2.5 Impairment of Assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
for any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An
impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the recoverable amount. The impairment loss is charged
to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the year in which an asset is
identified as impaired. An impairment loss recognised in prior
accounting periods is reversed if there has been change in the estimate
of the recoverable amount.
2.6 Investments
Long Term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution
in value other than temporary, if any.
2.7 Inventories
Inventories include stock-in-transit/bonded warehouses and with others
for manufacturing/processing/replacement. Inventories are valued at
lower of cost and net realizable value, cost is determined on the
weighted average method. Finished goods and process stock include cost
of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition.
2.8 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
Sale of goods: Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and
rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (on despatch
to the buyer) and are reported net of turnover/trade discounts, returns
and claims Income from Services: Revenue is recognized on accrual
basis.
Dividend income on investments is accounted for when the right to
receive the payment is established.
Interest income is accounted on time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and applicable interest rate. Others:
Wherever it is not possible to determine the quantum of accrual with
reasonable certainty, e.g. Insurance & other claims, these continue to
be accounted for on cash basis.
2.9 Employee Benefits
Contributions to Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund, which are
defined contribution schemes, are made to a government administered
Provident Fund and to recognised trust respectively, and are charged to
the statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The Company has no
further obligations beyond its contributions to these funds.

absences, which are in the nature of defined benefit plans, are
provided based on actuarial valuations based on projected unit credit
method, as at the balance sheet date.
Termination benefits are recognized as expense as and when incurred.

statement of Profit and Loss under respective heads of account and
capital expenditure is added to the cost of Fixed Assets in the year in
which it is incurred.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership of the leased asset, are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the statement of
Profit and Loss as per the terms of the lease.
2.13 Taxation
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than
unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realised. However, if
there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses and items
relating to capital losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if
there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable
income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied
by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally
enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each balance sheet date for their realisability.

recognized in the accounts but are disclosed by way of notes.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial
statements.
2.16 Foreign Currency Transactions and Forward Contracts
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate prevailing
at time of transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies and outstanding at the year-end are translated at year-end
rates. Exchange differences arising on settlement of monetary items at
rates different from those at which they were initially recorded are
recognized as income or expense in the Statement of Profit & Loss for
the year in which they arise. Premium/discount on forward exchange
contracts, which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes,
are amortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate
to monetary items as at the balance sheet date. Any profit or loss
arising on cancellation or renewal of such forward exchange contract is
recognised as income or expense in the period in which such
cancellation or renewal is made.
2.17 Segment reporting
The Company identifies primary segments based on dominant source,
nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and
management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which
separate financial information is available and for which operating
profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the Executive Management
in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with
accounting policies of the company. Segment revenue, segment expenses,
segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments
on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the
segment.
2.18 Operating Cycle

normal time between acquisition of assets and their realization in cash
or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as
twelve months for the purpose of classification of assets and
liabilities as current and non-current.
