A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of 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
the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle
the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates.A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that
is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability
also arises inextremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The
Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.

element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares
outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

shares.
