2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements are prepared under the historical
cost convention on accrual basis to comply in all material
aspects and in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP), which comprises of
mandatory accounting standards as prescribed under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7
of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the provisions
of the Act (to the extent notified). The accounting policies
have been consistently applied by the Company unless
otherwise stated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with Indian GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as at the balance
sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis and are based on management''s evaluation
of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the
financial statements. Examples include estimates of useful
lives of fixed assets, provision for doubtful debts and
advances, and employee benefit obligations. In accordance
with Accounting Standard (AS) 5, revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised prospectively in the Statement of
Profit and Loss in the period in which the estimate is revised
and in any future periods affected.
(a) Construction Contract Revenue : As per Accounting
Standard - 7 issued by "The Institute of the Chartered
Accountant of India", the company is following
"percentage of completion method" as stipulated.
Revenue of the Company from the execution of Fixed
Price Contract is recognized based on percentage of
completion of the contract activity at the reporting
date. Profit is recognized and taken as the revenue
of the company only when the work on the contract
has progressed to a reasonable extent. When the
outcome of a construction contract cannot be
estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to
the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely
to be recoverable.Expected losses on contracts are
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.
(b) Revenue (other than sale): Revenue (other than sale)
is recognised as and when the right to receive such
income arises and it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can
be reliably measured.
(c) I nterest Income is recognized on a time proportion
basis taking into account the amount outstanding and
the rate applicable. Interest income is recognised only
when there is no significant uncertainty regarding its
measurement or collectability
2.4 Recognition of Expenditure
Expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis and are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
period to which they relate. Provision is made for all known
liabilities and anticipated losses, based on management''s
best estimates, in accordance with applicable Accounting
Standards.
2.5 Property Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) comprise tangible
assets held for use in the execution of construction
contracts, for rental, or for administrative purposes. These
include construction equipment, furniture & fixtures,
computer & printers, vehicles, office equipment, land,
buildings and other assets. PPE are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Freehold land is carried at cost and is not
depreciated. The cost of an item of PPE comprises its
purchase price (net of trade discounts and rebates), non¬
refundable duties and taxes, freight and installation
expenses, borrowing costs directly attributable to
qualifying assets, and any other directly attributable costs
incurred to bring the asset to its working condition for its
intended use. Expenditure incurred on major inspection,
overhauling and replacement of significant components of
construction equipment is capitalised where it is probable
that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and
the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
the replaced parts is derecognised.
2.6 Intangible Assets and amortization
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over
their estimated useful life of five years, unless a different
useful life is assessed based on technical, contractual or
other relevant factors. The useful life and amortisation
method are reviewed at each financial year-end.
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 asset is impaired when
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is charged to the Statement
of Profit and 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 a change
in the estimates used to determine the asset''s recoverable
amount. The reversal is recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss to the extent that the carrying amount of
the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation)
had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.
Assets under installation or construction are disclosed
as Capital Work-in-Progress until the asset is ready for its
intended use at the reporting date.
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment (other than
freehold land and capital work-in-progress) is provided
on the Straight-Line Method (SLM) over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful
lives of assets are determined based on internal technical
assessment carried out by the management and supported,
where necessary, by external technical advice. The
management believes that the useful lives adopted, though
in certain cases different from those prescribed under Part
C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, best represent
the period over which the assets are expected to be used.
The residual value of Property, Plant and Equipment is
considered at 5% of the original cost of the asset.
*In respect of these assets, the management estimate of
useful lives, based on technical assessment is different than
the useful lives prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013. However, based on internal technical
evaluation and external advice received, the management
believes that the useful lives as considered for arriving at
the depreciation rates, best represent the period over which
management expect to use these assets.
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use,
i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for
it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier
of the date that the asset is retired from active use and is held
for disposal and the date that the asset is derecognised.
The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values
are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year-
end. Any revision is treated as a change in accounting
estimate and applied prospectively.
Investments are classified as Current Investments or
Long-term Investments at the time of acquisition.
Current investments are investments that are readily
realisable and are intended to be held for not more than
one year from the date of acquisition. Current investments
are carried at the lower of cost and quoted/ fair value.
The comparison of cost and fair value is made on an
individual investment basis or by category of investment,
as appropriate. Long-term investments are stated at
cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long¬
term investments is made only when such diminution
is considered to be other than temporary in nature.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between
the carrying amount and the net disposal proceeds is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

materials in hand are valued at cost.
(b) Shuttering material are valued at Cost or NRV
(whichever is less).

progress of work is below or at the reasonable extent
is valued at estimated cost consisting of the costs that
relate directly and that which can be allocated to the
specific contract.

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Cash Flow
Statement comprise cash on hand, balances with banks,
and short-term investments with an original maturity of
three months or less from the date of acquisition, which

2.13 Advances from Customers and Progress
payments

construction contracts are recognised as liabilities
until the related work is performed and revenue
is recognised in accordance with the Company''s
revenue recognition policy.
(b) Progress payments received are adjusted against
amounts receivable from customers in respect of the
contract of work performed.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale,
are included in the cost of those assets. Such borrowing
costs are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset when it
is probable that they will result in future economic benefits
to the entity and the costs can be measured reliably. Other
borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the
period in which they are incurred.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of
a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the
asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred
and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its
intended use or sale are in progress.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases
when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare
the qualifying asset, if any, for its intended use or sale are
interrupted or completed.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment
of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs
eligible for capitalisation.
(a) Short Term Employee Benefits:
Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short term
compensated absences, expected cost of bonus and
performance-linked rewards falling due wholly within
twelve months of rendering the service are classified
as short- term employee benefits and are expensed in
the period in which the employee renders the related
service.
(b) Gratuity & other long term benefits
The company has an obligation toward gratuity, a
defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible
employees. The plan provides for a lump sum
payment to vested employees at retirement,
death while in employment or on termination of
employment. Vesting occurs upon completion of five
years of service. The company accounts for the liability
for gratuity benefits payable in future based on an
independent actuarial valuation conducted by an
independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit
Method as at the Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains
are recognized as and when incurred. The company
does not have any fund for payment of gratuity.
