(I) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre- tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
(j) Income Tax
i) Current Income Tax:
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses, if any.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
ii) Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the tax are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(k) Revenue recognition Sale of goods and services
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts net of discounts / rebates, returns, other customer incentives and value added taxes. The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the company’s activities. The company bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Investment income
Incomes from investments are accounted on an accrual basis. Dividend income is accounted when right to receive dividend is established.
Other income
Incomes from Export incentive such as duty drawback and sale of License are booked on cash basis.
(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank, cash in hand and book overdraft. In the balance sheet, book overdraft is shown within other current financial liabilities as they are not considered an integral part of company’s cash management.
(m) Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Contingent liabilities exist when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are appropriately disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. A contingent assets is not recognised unless the recovery is virtually certain.
(o) Rounding of amounts and previous year’s figures
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedulelll, unless otherwise stated.
Previous years are regrouped wherever necessary.
Note 2B: Critical accounting judgment, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to exercise judgment and to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future period.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
(a) Useful lives of Property plant and equipment and Intangible assets

Estimates may change due to technological developments, competition, changes in market conditions and other factors and may result in changes in the estimated useful life and in the depreciation and amortisation charges.
(b) Taxation
The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period for its recoverability against probable future profits.
(c) Employee Benefits
The present value of the gratuity obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a various assumptions. One of the critical assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for these obligations include the discount rate.

(d) Provisions
Provisions are based on management’s best estimate of the liabilities based on the facts known at the balance sheet date.
