1.11 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent
Assets
Provision is recognised when the Company has a
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of obligation. Provision is not recognised for
future operating losses.
Provision is measured at the present value of
management's best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting
period. If the effect of the time value of money is material,
the amount of provision is discounted using an appropriate
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.
A Contingent liability is disclosed in case of a present
obligation arising from past events, when it is either not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle the obligation, or a reliable estimate of the
amount cannot be made. A Contingent Liability is also
disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from
past events, the existence of which will be confirmed
only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
the Company.
Contingent Assets are not recognised but where an inflow
of economic benefits is probable, contingent assets are
disclosed in the financial statements.
1.12 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is
measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable, taking into account contractually defined
terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected
on behalf of the government.
a) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon transfer
of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods
to the customer which generally coincides with dispatch
of goods to customer. Sales exclude Goods and Service
Tax (GST). It is measured at fair value of consideration
received or receivable, net of returns, rebates and
discounts.

generation.
b) Rendering of Services
Revenue from services are recognised as and when
the services are rendered on stage of completion
method.
c) Interest Income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when
it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the amount of income can be measured
reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by
reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective
interest rate applicable. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
through the expected life of the financial asset to the
gross carrying amount of that financial asset.
d) Dividends
Dividend income from investments is recognised when
the Company's right to receive dividend is established,
which is generally when the shareholders approve the
dividend.

the related service is rendered at the undiscounted
amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange
for that service. A liability is recognised for benefits
accruing to employees in respect of other long-term
employee benefits are measured at the present value of
the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made
by the Company in respect of services provided by the
employees up to the reporting date.
b) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company's contribution to Provident Fund and
Employee State Insurance Scheme are considered
as defined contribution plans and are charged as an
expense based on the amount of contribution required
to be made and when services are rendered by the
employees.
c) Defined Benefit Plan
i) Gratuity
In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company
provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan
(“Gratuity Plan”) covering all employees. The Gratuity
Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees,
at retirement or termination of employment, an amount
based on the respective employee's last drawn salary
and the years of employment with the Company. Liability
with regard to Gratuity Plan is accrued based on actuarial
valuation at the Balance Sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary.
Payment for present liabilities of future payment of
gratuity for all employees other than Managing Director
is being made to approved gratuity fund managed by Life
Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses,
is reflected immediately in the Balance Sheet with a charge
or credit recognised in Other Comprehensive Income
in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income is reflected
immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified
to Profit and Loss. Past service cost is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss immediately for both vested
and the non-vested portion.
ii) Compensated Absences
The Company provides for the encashment of absence
or absence with pay based on policy of the Company in
this regard. The employees are entitled to accumulate
such absences subject to certain limits, for the future
encashment or absence. The Company records an
obligation for compensated absences in the period in
which the employee renders the services that increases
this entitlement. The Company measures the expected
cost of compensated absences as the additional amount
that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused
entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet
date on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.
1.14 Taxes on Income
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax
currently payable and deferred tax.
a) Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for
the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as
reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because of
items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and items that are never taxable or
deductible. The Company's current tax is calculated
using applicable tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period
and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other
tax laws, as applicable.
b) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred
tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable
temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally
recognised for all deductible temporary differences
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed
at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to
be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax
rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount
of its assets and liabilities.
c) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss,
except when they relate to items that are recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity,
in which case, the current and deferred tax are also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity respectively.
1.15 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the
net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders (after deducting preference dividends, if
any, and attributable taxes) by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
1.16 Foreign Currency Transactions
Transaction in foreign currencies are initially recorded in
the functional currency, using the spot exchange rate at
the date of the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the functional currency
spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange
differences that arise on settlement of monetary items
recognised in statement of Profit and Loss. Non monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate
at the date of the initial transactions.
1.17 Financial Instruments
a) Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
At initial recognition, financial assets and financial
liabilities are initially measured at fair value or at
amortised cost. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets
and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss)
are added to or deducted from the value of the financial
assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial
recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the
acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at
Fair Value through Profit or Loss are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Financial Assets

measured in its entirety at either amortised cost or fair
value, depending on the classification of the financial
assets.
