Note:1- Significant Accounting Policies:
A. The following note provides list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented
unless otherwise stated.
I. Basis of Preparation:
A. The Financial Statements have been prepared in all material aspects in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards [Ind AS] notified under the companies [Indian Accounting Standards] Rules, 2015,
notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (''the Act'') and other relevant Provisions of the Act.

liabilities which have been measured at fair value or revalued amount.
C. Current versus non-current classification:
The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are presented based on current/non-current classification.
An asset is current when it is:
- Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, or
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
- Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent 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 current when it is:
- Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, or
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
- Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- 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 treated as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities respectively.
II. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income
and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting
estimates involving complex and subjective judgments are provided below. Accounting estimates could
change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in
estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the
estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes
are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Critical estimates and judgments
a) Income Taxes:
Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount
expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.
b) Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the company. The charge
in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected useful
life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Management reviews the residual values, useful
lives and method of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment at each reporting period end and any
revision to these is recognized prospectively in current and future periods. The lives are based on historical
experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as
changes in technology
c) Employees benefits:
Significant judgments are involved in making judgments about the life expectancy, discounting rate, salary
increase etc. which significantly affect the working of the present value of future liabilities on account of
employees benefits by way of defined benefit plans.

presentation currency.
