The transition was carried out from accounting principles generally accepted in India (‘‘Indian GAAP’’) which is considered as the previous GAAP, as defined in IND AS 101. The reconciliation of effects of the transition from Indian GAAP on the equity as at April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and on the net profit and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2017 is disclosed in Note No 39 to these financial statements.

2.2 Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period/year

The difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known/ materialise.

All Assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities

2.3) Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions and judgements, which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement:

(i) Property, plant and equipment

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has adopted optional exemption under IND AS 101 for fair valuation of property plant and equipment. The Company appointed external adviser to assess the fair value, remaining useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment. Management believes that the assigned fair value, useful lives and residual value are reasonable.

(ii) Income taxes

Management judgment is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported in the standalone financial statements.

(iii) Contingencies

Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/ litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

(iv) Allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable and advances

Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not to be collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.

The company directly reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

10.2) Interest Rate Risk Management

Ind AS 101 requires a first time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However,Ind AS 101 allows a first time adopter to apply the derecognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity’s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognised as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.

The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind As.

II. 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

Estimates made in accordance with previous GAAP at the date of transition to Ind AS should be considered unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error I nd AS estimates as at April 01,2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The company made estimates for Investment in equity instruments carried at FVOCI in accordance with Ind AS as at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP.

Accordingly ,the company has elected to measure all of its property, plany and equipment, intangible assets and investment property at their previous GAAP carrying value.

17,this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS,except where the effect is expected to be not material.
