Provisions are recognized for liabilities that can be measured only by using a substantial degree of estimation, if:
(iv) the company has a present obligation as a result of a past event,
(v) a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation; and
(vi) the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows.
(i) a present obligation arising from a past event when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability; or
(ii) 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.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
P. Revenue from operations
(a) Recognition of revenue:
Revenue is recognised on the basis of approved contracts regarding the transfer of goods or services to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
(b) Measurement of revenue :
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts, incentives, volume rebates and schemes, if any, as per contracts with customers. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring good or service to a customer. Taxes collected from customers on behalf of Government are not treated as Revenue.
(c) Performance obligations:
Sale of goods:
Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of these products is recognized at a point in time when control of the product has been transferred at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Due to the short nature of credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.
Any amounts receivable from the customer are recognised as revenue after the control over the goods sold are transferred to the customer which is generally on dispatch of goods. Export sales are recognized on the issuance of Bill of Lading.
(d) Variable consideration:
This includes incentives, volume rebates, discounts etc. It is estimated at contract inception considering the terms of various schemes with customers and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. It is reassessed at end of each reporting period.
(e) Schemes:
The Company operates several sales incentive scheme wherein the customers are eligible for several benefits on achievement of underlying conditions as prescribed in the scheme. Revenue from contract with customer is presented deducting cost of all these schemes.
(f) Significant financing components:
In respect of advances from its customers, using the practical expedient in Ind AS 115, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be within normal operating cycle.
(g) Export incentives:
Export incentives under various schemes notified by the Government have been recognised on the basis of applicable regulations, and when reasonable assurance to receive such revenue is established.
(h) Contract Balances:
Trade Receivables and Contract Assets
A receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due ).
An entity's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Q. Other Income:
(a) Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established.
(b) Interest income is recognised using effective interest rate (EIR) method.
R. Employee Benefit Expenses:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short¬ term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, incentives, etc. are charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid when there is a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(b) Post-employment benefits:
The Company operates the following post employment schemes:
(i) Defined contribution plans such as provident fund; and (ii) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity
(i) Defined contribution plan:
The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, for which both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees' salary. The contributions as specified under the law are made to the Government Provident Fund monthly.
The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the funds. The Company's contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss as incurred.
(ii) Defined benefit plan
The Company has defined benefit plan for post-employment benefits, for all employees in the form of Gratuity administered through trust funded with Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company's liabilities under Payment of Gratuity Act are determined on the basis of independent actuarial valuation.
The liability in respect of gratuity is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employees' services.
Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the Balance Sheet with a charge or credit recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in OCI is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss. Past service cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
The defined benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
S. Foreign Currency Transactions:
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded at the rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Exchange gains and losses arising on settlement and restatement are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non¬ monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
T. Segment Reporting:

on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments.
U. Earnings Per Share:
The Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit/loss after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders is divided by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the effects of all dilutive equity shares.
V. Statement of Cash flows:
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby the net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non- cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

In particular, this exposes the Company to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to the employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risk.

C. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Senior management of the Company is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management.
