2.1 emptions and exceptions availed

Ind AS optional exemptions cost.

2.1.1. Deemed cost:-Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as for the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at date of transition after making necessary adjustments for decommissioning liabilities.

2.1.2 Leases: Appendix -C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected not to be material.

3.1. Ind AS mandatory exceptions

3.1.1. De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities: IndAs 101 requires a first time adopter to apply the derecognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity's choosing, provided that the information needed to apply AS 109 to financial assets and Financial liabilities de-recognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions. The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS

3.2.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets: Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date transition to Ind AS.

3.2.3. Impairment of financial assets: An entity shall determine the approximate credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognized and compare that to the credit risk at the date of transition to Ind. This should be based on reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or efforts. If any entity is unable to make this determination without undue cost or effort, it shall recognize a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date until that financial instrument is derecognized. The Company has this exception to analyse credit risk of the financial assets as the date of transition instated of the date of initial recognition.

The management assessed that the fair values of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction among willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale

The Company determines fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities by discounting contractual cash inflows/ outflows using prevailing interest rates of financial instruments with similar terns. The fair value of investment is determined using quoted net assets value from the fund. Further, the subsequent measurement of all finance assets and liabilities (other than investment in mutual funds) is at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

Discount rates used in determining fair value

The interest rate used to discount estimated future cash flows, where applicable, are based on the incremental borrowing rate of the borrower which in case of financial liabilities is the weighted average cost of borrowing of the Company and in case of financial assets is the average market rate of similar credits rated instrument

The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, the Company internally reviews valuation, including independent price validation for certain instruments.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:-

a. Fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

b. The fair value of the Company's interest borrowing received are determined using discount rate reflects the entity's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non performance risk as at the end of reporting period was assessed to be insignificant.

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

Level-1: Quoted (unadjusted) price in active market for identical assets or liabilities

Level-2: Valuation technique for which the lowest level input that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement are observed, either directly or indirectly.

Level-3: Valuation technique for which the lowest level input has a significant effect on the fair value measurement is not based on observation market data.
