2B Significant Accounting Policies

i) Impairment of non-financial assets

An asset is deemed impairable when recoverable value is less than its carrying cost and the difference between
the two represents provisioning exigency. Recoverable value is the higher of the ‘Value in Use’ and fair value as
reduced by cost of disposal. Test of impairment of PPE, investment in subsidiaries / associates / joint venture and
goodwill are undertaken under Cash Generating Unit (CGU) concept. For Intangible Assets and Investment
Properties it is undertaken in asset specific context. Test of impairment of assets are generally undertaken based
on indication of impairment, if any, from external and internal sources of information. Non-financial assets other
than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each
reporting period.

ii) Foreign currency transactions

The Company''s financial statements are presented in INR. which is also the Company’s functional currency
Transactions and balances:

Monetary items are initially recorded by the Company at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date
the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising
on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of
the initial transactions.

iii) Employee Benefits

a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related
service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash
bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service
provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

b) Defined Contribution Plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions
into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company
makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund and Employee State
Insurance scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee
benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments
is available.

c) Defined Benefit Plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s
net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of
any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit
credit method.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognised in
Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net
defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit
obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into
account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and
benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to
past service (‘past service cost’ or ‘past service gain’) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised
immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit
plan when the settlement occurs,

d) Other long-term employee benefits

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is
the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior
periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The obligation is measured on the basis of an
annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses
are recognised in nrofit or loss in the neriod in which thev arise.
