3.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that arc measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the L accounting policies mentioned below.
â
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price 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.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1.2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
a) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date:
b) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level I. that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
c) Level 3 inputs arc unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
3.2 Current/ non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current non-current classification. As asset is treated as current when it is:
a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period;
d) Cash and cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is treated as current when:
a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle:
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
3.3 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the Company and that the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payments and excluding taxes and duties collected on behalf of the Government. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

a) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entityâs performance
as the entity performs.
b) The entityâs performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created orenhanced.
c) The entityâs performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
When the outcome of a real estate project can be estimated reliably and the above conditions are satisfied, revenue is recognised according to Ind AS 115.
The estimates relating to saleable area, sale value, estimated cost etc., arc revised and updated periodically by the management and necessary adjustments arc made in the current years account.
3.3.2 Revenue from sale of completed real estate projects, land, development rights and sale'''' transfer of rights in agreements are recognised in the financial year in which agreements of such sales are executed and there is no uncertainty about ultimate collections.

3.4 Teasing
A contract contains a lease at the inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether : (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset: (ii) it has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease, and (iii) it has the right to direct the use of the asset.
3.4.1 As lessor

They arc deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash How hedges.
Non-monctary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency arc translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monctary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monctary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss are also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).
3.8 Taxation
Income tax expense lor the year comprises of current tax and deferred lax.
3.8.1 Current tax
I''he tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year.

The Company''s current tax is calculated in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961, using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.
3.8.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities arc not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profits.
The earning amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or pari of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred lax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rales (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
3.8.3 Current and deferred tax for the year

3.9.3 Defined contribution plan
The Companyâs contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made.
3.9.4 Defined benefit plan
For defined benefit plan in the form of gratuity, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Past sen ice cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
3.10 Property , plant and equipment
3.10.1 Recognition and Measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment losses, and include interest on loans attributable to the acquisition of qualifying assets uplo the date they are ready for their intended use. F reehold land is measured at cost and is not depreciated.
3.10.2 Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets (other than free hold land) is recognised on written down value method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act. 2013.
F,stimaied useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Plant and machinery 12-15 years
Air conditioners & refrigerators 15 years
Computers and information technology equipments 3 - 6 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years
Office equipments 5 years
Motor vehicles 8-10 years
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on car parking spaces is not charged during the year as the management treats the same as Land and not Building.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, i fappropriate.
An item of properly, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits arc expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss._
3.11 Intangible assets
3.11.1 Recognition and Measurement
Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated amortisation and any recognised impairment losses, and include interest on loans attributable to the acquisition of qualifying assets upto the date they arc ready for their intended use.
3.11.2 Amortisation
Amortisation on intangible assets is recognised over the estimated useful life of the asset.

An item of intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of intangible asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
3.12 Impairment of tangibleand intangible assets
The management periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an assetâs net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use ofan asset and from its disposal at the end of the useful life.
Impairment losses recognized in prior years are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized earlier no longer exist or have decreased. Such reversals are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the asset to the extent that does not exceed the carrying amounts that would have been determined (net ofdcprcciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.
3.13 Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost and net real isablc value .Cost is determined based on average cost basis.
a) Flats/ShopsHouscs/PIots/Stock of units Represents cost incurred in respect of completed
real estate project net cost of revenue.
b) Work in progress Represent cost incurred in repscct of projects
where the revenue is yet to be recognized and includes the cost of land.
3.14 Provisions and contingencies
3.14.1 Provisions
Provisions arc recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and 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.
The amount recognised 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. When the effect of time value is material, the amount is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows.
r
3.14.2 Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed 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 to settle ora reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
3.15 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
3.15.1 Financial assets
3.15.1.1 Recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of llnaneial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date. i.c. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
All recognised financial assets arc subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
3.15.1.2 Classification of financial assets
Classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
a) Those measured at amortized cost,
b) Those to be measured subsequently at fair value, cither through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets at amortised cost:
A financial assets is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model w hose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at FVTOCI:
A financial asset is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under fair value option.
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset, and
b) The assetâs contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Financial assets at FVTPL:
FVTPL is a residual category'' for financial assets. Any asset, which docs not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI. is classi lied as at FVTPL.
l. J
3.15.1.3 Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCi
On iniiial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising front changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the ''Reserv e for equity instruments through other comprehensive income''. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
a) It has been acquired principally for the purposeof selling it in the near term: or
b) On initial recognition it is pari ofa portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages logciher
and has an recent actual pattern ol''sliort-lenn profit-taking; or
c) It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument ot a financial guarantee.
The Company has equity investment in three entities which arc not held for trading. The Company has elected the FVTOCI irrevocable option for this investment (Refer Note no. 10). Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note no. 39.
Dividend on above investment in equity instruments is recognised in profit or loss when the Company''s right to receive the dividend is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the div idend will flow to the Company, the dividend docs not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.
3.15.1.4 Derecognition
A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:
a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass through'' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks ami rewards of the asset, or (b> the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rew ards of the asset, but lias transferred control of the asset.
3.15.1.5 I mpairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109. the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that arc debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost c.g., loans, debt securities, deposits
and bank balance.
b) Any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the
seopcoflndAS 18.
Hie Company believes that, considering their nature of business and past history, the expected credit loss in relation to its financial assets is non-existent or grossly immaterial. Thus, the Company has not recognised any provision for expected credit loss. The Company reviews this policy annually, if required.
3.15.2 Financial liabilities
3.15.2.1 Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, borrowings, payables, as appropriate.

_/
3.15.2.2 Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modi fication is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
3.16 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
3.17 Cash and cash cquivalcnts
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Basic earnings pershare has been computed by dividing the profit^ loss) after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profif''(loss) after tax and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity share (ifany).
4 Recent accounting pronouncements
Amendments to Indian Accounting Standards (I nd AS) issued but not yet effective
The amendments to standards that are issued, hut not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2017 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules. 2018 amending the following standards:
Amendments to I nd AS 12 - Recognition of Defer red Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against w hich it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.
3.15.2 Financial liabilities
3.15.2.1 Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, borrowings, payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and. in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
I he Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and borrowings.
All recognised financial liabilities arc subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial liabilities.
Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. I lowevcr. on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or alter April 1. 2018. These amendments are not expected to have material effect on Companyâs standalone financial statements.
5 Material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation ofthe financial statements requires management of the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment ofthe probability ofthe Companyâs future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Managementâs estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality-, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Useful lives of porperty, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives at the end of each reporting period.
Contingent liabilities
The Company has ongoing litigations with various regulatory'' authorities and others. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate ofthe outcome ofthe dispute can be made based on managementâs assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate ofthe liability.
