xi.) Provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on Management's estimate for the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements,since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

As a result of this policy change, the profit before tax for the financial year 2023-24 has increased by Rs 579.04 Lakhs, representing a 27.70% increase. This adjustment reflects a one-time impact on the year's profit and is not expected to materially affect profitability in future periods.
In accordance with Accounting Standard (as) 5, ""Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies,"" prior period items include errors discovered in the preparation of financial statements for one or more prior periods. Such errors may arise from mathematical mistakes, incorrect application of accounting policies, misinterpretation of facts, or oversight.
