2.10 PROVISION, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
"A provision is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made to settle the amount of obligation. Provision is discounted to its present value wherever required and is determined based
on the last estimate required to settle the obligation at the year end. These are reviewed at each year end and adjusted to reflect the best current estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in notes when there is a possible obligation that rises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
2.11 GOVERNMENT GRANTS

- In case of grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognized."
2.12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
2.12.1 Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

2.12.2 Other financial assets and financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement: Other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. 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 fair 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 recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement: Financial assets at amortized
cost. Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and contractual terms of financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and selling financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through Profit & loss Account
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities Recognition of Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
De-Recognition of Financial liabilities

Further the company applies extinguishment accounting/modification accounting as per IND-AS 109.
2.12.3 Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments recognized by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received net off direct issue cost.
2.13 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, Corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.
2.14 TRADE RECEIVABLES & ADVANCES
"Sundry debtors outstanding for more than three years at the end of Balance Sheet date will be written off from the books of accounts except disputed debtors having matters pending under different Courts.
Other advances and related party balances outstanding for more than 3 years are reviewed by the management at the end of every financial year and are written off as per the judgment of the management."
2.15 OPERATING CYCLE
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
2.16 KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year."
2.16.1 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This assessment may result in change in the depreciation expense in future periods.
2.16.2 Employee Benefits
The cost of defined benefit plans are determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.
2.16.3 Litigations
The Company is a party to certain commercial disputes and has also received notification of claims for significant amounts. There are number of factors that may affect the ultimate outcome in respect of this matter and accordingly, it is difficult to assess the impact of these disputes with accuracy.
