R_evenue from Diagnostic services is recognized on amount billed net of discounts/ concessions if any. No element of financing is deemed present as
tbrne sales are made primarily on cash and carry basis, however for institutional/ organisational customers a credit period of 30 days is given, which is
consistent with market practice.
/V contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. If a
customer pays consideration before the Company transfer services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made.
C ontract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Tlie Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the
entity and when the underlying tests are conducted, samples are processed for requisitioned diagnostic tests. Each service is generally a separate
performance obligation and therefore revenue is recognised at a point in time when the tests are conducted, samples are processed. For multiple tests,
the Company measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation at its relative stand alone selling price and the transaction price is
allocated accordingly. The price that is regularly charged for a test separately registered is considered to be the best evidence of its stand alone selling
price. Revenue contracts are on principal to principal basis and the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation.
B. Recognition of interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income
can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net
caifying amount on initial recognition.
C. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or
construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that
asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
D. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a Financial Asset of one entity and Financial liability or equity instalment of another entity.
i) Initial Recognition and measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an
item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
All financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are
directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
Subsequent measurement: For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are categorised as under:
- Amortised cost;
- Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for
managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- tlie asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- tlie contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the
investmentâs fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative
financial assets. Oil initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured
at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets at FVTPL: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are
recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost: These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is
reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the
dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are not reclassified to
profit or loss.
Financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as
held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net
gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in statement of profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in statement ot profit or loss.
iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
A Financial asset is primarily derecognised when the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all ot the risks and
rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all oi the risks
and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired.
Tlie Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified temis are substantially
different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of
the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently and legally enforceable right to
set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
E. property, plant and equipment
i) Recognition and measurement
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation
aa
fox" its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. If significant parts of an item
of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and
equipment.
Sut>se(luent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any
coixiponent accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to statement of profit or loss
during the reporting period in which they are incurred. If an item of property, plant and equipment is purchased with deferred credit period from
supplier, such asset is recorded at its cash price equivalent value.
ii) Depredation
Depreciation is provided using the Written down value Method (''WDV'') upto 31st December 2022, over the useful lives of the assets as estimated by
the Management based on technical evaluation. Depreciation on additions and deletions are restricted to the period of use. Assets costing below Rs.
5;OO0 are depreciated in full in the same year.
With effect from 1st January 2023, the Company has changed its method of depreciation on all Property, Plant and Equipment from Written Down
Value ("WDV") method to Straight Line Method ("SLM"), based upon the technical assessment of expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the assets.
The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
F. Intangible assets
i) Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired, are recognized at cost initially and earned at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss,
if any. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
ii) amortization
Upto December 31, 2022, amortization is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated
useful lives using the "writen down value" (WDV) method, and is included in depreciation and amortization in statement of profit and loss.
With effect from 1st January 2023, the Company has changed its method of amortization from Written Down Value ("WDV") method to Straight Line
Method ("SLM"), based upon the technical assessment of expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the intangible
assets.
The estimated useful life is as follows:
- Software - 3 years
Amortization method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
G. Capital work in progress
Capital work-in-progress is recognized at cost. It comprises of property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use at the
reporting date.
H. Inventories
- Inventories comprise of diagnostic kits, reagents, laboratory chemicals and consumables, these are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location after adjusting for
recoverable taxes, if any. Cost is determined on First-in-First-out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item
basis.
I. Impairment of assets
i) Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. At each reporting date, the
Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is âcredit-impairedâ when one or more events
that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- a breach of contract;
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the
reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is
exposed to credit risk.
When, determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit
losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both
quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including
forward-looking information.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the
difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This
is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows
to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to
comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company''s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is
any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU
represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on
the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
The Companyâs corporate assets (e.g., central office building for providing support to various CGUs) do not generate independent cash inflows. To
determine impairment of a corporate asset, recoverable amount is determined for the CGUs to which the corporate asset belongs.
I. Impairment of assets (Continued)
ii) Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
Aji impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any
indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the cariying amount that would
have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss has been recognised.
J. Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period
in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are
measured on an undiscounted basis at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee
benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
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 scheme and ESI. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in statement
of profit and loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
7ii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in
respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the
end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This
cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they
occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or
loss as past service cost.
(iv) Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by
employees up to the end of the reporting period by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the
market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of
experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
K. Leases
Lease contracts entered by the Company majorly pertains for buildings taken on lease to conduct its business in the ordinary course.
Company as a Lessor:
Leases for which the Company is a lessor are classified as a finance or operating lease. When ever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rental
income from operating leases are recognised on straight line basis over the term of relevant lease.
K. Leases (Continued)
Company as a Lessee:
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant
judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term and the applicable discount rate.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if
the Company is reasonably certain to exercise .that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain
not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option -
to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend
the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a
lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar
characteristics.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or
less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
L. Income-tax
Income-tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in
equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or
receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after
considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to
realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting puiposes
and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction; and
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future;
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The
existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the
Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that
sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are
reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit
will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting
date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3 Summary of material accounting policies
A. Revenue recognition
i) Income from diagnostic services
Revenue from Diagnostic services is recognized on amount billed net of discounts/ concessions if any. No element of financing is deemed present as
the sales are made primarily on cash and carry basis, however for institutional/ organisational customers a credit period of 30 days is given, which is
consistent with market practice.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. If a
customer pays consideration before the Company transfer services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made.
Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the
entity and when the underlying tests are conducted, samples are processed for requisitioned diagnostic tests. Each service is generally a separate
performance obligation and therefore revenue is recognised at a point in time when the tests are conducted, samples are processed. For multiple tests,
the Company measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation at its relative stand alone selling price and the transaction price is
allocated accordingly. The price that is regularly charged for a test separately registered is considered to be the best evidence of its stand alone selling
price. Revenue contracts are on principal to principal basis and the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation.
B. Recognition of interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income
can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net
carrying amount on initial recognition.
C. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or
construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that
asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
D. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a Financial Asset of one entity and Financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
i) Initial Recognition and measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an
item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
All financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are
directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
Subsequent measurement: For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are categorised as under:
- Amortised cost;
- Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for
managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the
investmentâs fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative
financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured
at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets at FVTPL: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are
recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost: These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is
reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the
dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are not reclassified to
profit or loss.
Financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as
held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net
gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in statement of profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in statement of profit or loss.
iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
A Financial asset is primarily derecognised when the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and
rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks
and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially
different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of
the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently and legally enforceable right to
set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
E. Property, plant and equipment
i) Recognition and measurement
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and
non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition
for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. If significant parts of an item
of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and
equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any
component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to statement of profit or loss
during the reporting period in which they are incurred. If an item of property, plant and equipment is purchased with deferred credit period from
supplier, such asset is recorded at its cash price equivalent value.
ii) Depreciation
Depreciation is provided using the Written down value Method (''WDV'') upto 31st December 2022, over the useful lives of the assets as estimated by
the Management based on technical evaluation. Depreciation on additions and deletions are restricted to the period of use. Assets costing below Rs.
5,000 are depreciated in full in the same year.
With effect from 1st January 2023, the Company has changed its method of depreciation on all Property, Plant and Equipment from Written Down
Value ("WDV") method to Straight Line Method ("SLM"), based upon the technical assessment of expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the assets.
Residual value is considered to be 5% on all the assets, as technically estimated by the management.
An asset''s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset''s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount. Gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment which are carried at cost are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.
F. Intangible assets
i) Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired, are recognized at cost initially and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss,
if any. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
ii) amortization
Upto December 31, 2022, amortization is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated
useful lives using the "writen down value" (WDV) method, and is included in depreciation and amortization in statement of profit and loss.
With effect from 1st January 2023, the Company has changed its method of amortization from Written Down Value ("WDV") method to Straight Line
Method ("SLM"), based upon the technical assessment of expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the intangible
assets.
The estimated useful life is as follows:
- Software - 3 years
Amortization method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
G. Capital work in progress
Capital work-in-progress is recognized at cost. It comprises of property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use at the
reporting date.
H. Inventories
Inventories comprise of diagnostic kits, reagents, laboratory chemicals and consumables, these are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location after adjusting for
recoverable taxes, if any. Cost is determined on First-in-First-out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item
basis.
I. Impairment of assets
i) Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. At each reporting date, the
Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is âcredit-impairedâ when one or more events
that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- a breach of contract;
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the
reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is
exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit
losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both
quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including
forward-looking information.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the
difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This
is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows
to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to
comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company''s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is
any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU
represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on
the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
The Companyâs corporate assets (e.g., central office building for providing support to various CGUs) do not generate independent cash inflows. To
determine impairment of a corporate asset, recoverable amount is determined for the CGUs to which the corporate asset belongs.
I. Impairment of assets (Continued)
ii) Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any
indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss has been recognised.
J. Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period
in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are
measured on an undiscounted basis at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee
benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
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 scheme and ESI. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in statement
of profit and loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in
respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the
end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This
cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they
occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or
loss as past service cost.
(iv) Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees
render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by
employees up to the end of the reporting period by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the
market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of
experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
K. Leases
Lease contracts entered by the Company majorly pertains for buildings taken on lease to conduct its business in the ordinary course.
Company as a Lessor:
Leases for which the Company is a lessor are classified as a finance or operating lease. When ever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rental
income from operating leases are recognised on straight line basis over the term of relevant lease.
K. Leases (Continued)
Company as a Lessee:
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant
judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term and the applicable discount rate.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if
the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain
not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option
to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend
the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a
lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar
characteristics.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or
less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
L. Income-tax
Income-tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in
equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or
receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after
considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to
realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction; and
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future;
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The
existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the
Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that
sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are
reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit
will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting
date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

ii) Additional costs relating to the acquisition and installation of fixed assets/ major repairs and renewals are capitalized.
27.5 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
i) Fixed assets (including Capital Work In Progress) are reviewed for impairment as at the Balance Sheet date. In case, events and circumstances indicate any impairment, recoverable amount of these assets is determined.
ii) Recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of time, value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
iii) Subsequent to impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying value of the assets over the remaining useful life.
iv) Reversal of Impairment loss if any is recognized as income in the statement of Profit and Loss.
27.6 DEPRECIATION
i) Individual assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are expensed off in the year of acquisition.
Depreciation on all other assets is provided on the written down value method based as per the rates determined by the Management taking into consideration the estimated useful life of the assets and their residual value at the end of the life. The Management has estimated the useful life and worked out the depreciation rates (under WDV method) of various class of assets as under;
iii) In respect of assets not covered above, rate of depreciation would be determined in accordance with the above principle as and when necessary.
27.7 INVENTORIES
Stock of all diagnostic kits, lab chemicals, consumables, Medicare items, house-keeping items, stationery etc are valued at Cost.

The company accounts for the liability for future Gratuity benefits on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.
27.9 LEASES
Leases, where the lesser retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments consisting of Rentals for the premises taken on lease are recognized as an expense in Statement of profit & loss on straight line basis over the lease term.
27.10 INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
27.11 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by the best estimate of the outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Where no reliable estimate can be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingent liability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
27.12 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value which is the average market value of the outstanding shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
