2.3.18 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
(i) 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 resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the Company settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as a separate asset. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
(ii) A contingent liability is not recognised in the financial statements, however, is disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item dealt with as a contingent liability, a provision is recognised in the financial statements of the period (except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made).
(iii) A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements, however, is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(iv) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
2.1.19 Segment Reporting
Segments are identified based on the manner in which the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM') decides about resource allocation and reviews performance.
(1) Segment Revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with/ allocable to the segment including inter- segment revenue.
(2) Income and Expenses that are directly identifiable with/ allocable to the segments are considered for determining the segment result. Income and Expenses not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
(3) Segment results includes margin on inter segment sales.
(4) Segment assets and Liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Assets and liabilities not allocable to any segment are classified under unallocable category.
2.4 Current - Non-Current Classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current on the basis of the following criteria:
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the company's normal operating cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or use to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a) it is expected to be settled in the company's normal operating cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d) there is no unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterpart, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities
All other liabilities are classified as non-current
Operating Cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing/servicing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
2.5 Use of Accounting Estimates, Judgements and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting policies that affect the reported amount of income, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
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 and the effect of revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively from the period in which the estimate is revised.
Significant accounting estimates, Judgements, and assumptions
i. Income taxes
Significant judgement is required in determination of provision for current tax and deferred tax e.g. determination of taxability of certain incomes and deductibility of certain expenses etc. The carrying amount of income tax assets/liabilities is reviewed at each reporting date. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to signification adjustment to the amounts reported in financial statements.
ii Defined Benefit Plans and other post-employment benefits
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future, salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, the obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
iii. Inventories
Management has estimated the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by market driven changes.
iv. Fair value measurement
Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair values are measured using valuation techniques specified in the accounting standard, which involve certain judgements and assumptions.
v. Provisions / Contingencies
Significant judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claims/litigations against the Company which involves judgements around estimating the ultimate outcome of such past events and measurement of the obligation amount etc. The Company assesses such claims and monitors the legal environment on an ongoing basis, with the assistance of external legal counsel, wherever necessary.
vi. Useful lives of property plant and equipment and Intangible assets
The estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, internal assessment of user experience and other economic factors (such as the known technological advancements, commercial obsolescence of the asset etc.). The useful life of property plant and equipment and intangible assets is reviewed on an ongoing basis.
vii. Recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment
The recoverable amount of property plant and equipment is based on estimates and assumptions regarding the expected market outlook and expected future cash flows. Any changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the measurement of the recoverable amount and could result in impairment.

Impairment of Assets
In accordance with Ind AS-36 on “Impairment of Assets” the Company has assessed as on the balance sheet date, whether there are any indications with regard to the impairment of any of the assets. Based on such assessment there is no such indication and therefore, formal estimate of recoverable amount has not been made. Accordingly, no impairment loss has been provided in the books of account.
Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity:
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. This defined benefit plan of gratuity is administered by a separate trust that is a legally separate entity. The Company makes annual contributions to the trust and trust is responsible for investments with regard to the assets of the trust. The contributions are invested by the trust in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk,salary risk, interest rate risk and longevity risk.
(i) Investment risk
If the actual return on plan assets is below the expected return, it will create plan deficit
(ii) Salary risk
The present value of defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase of participants in future. Deviation in rate of increase in salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
(iii) Interest risk
The plan exposes the company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in value of the liability.
(iv) Longevity risk
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plans liability.
The Following table set out the funded status of the gratuity plan and amounts recognised in the balance sheet and other disclosures as required under Ind AS 19 'Employee benefits':
