Provident Fund:

The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company makes monthly contribution at a specified percentage of the covered employees salary. The provident fund plan is administered by the government of India. The Company has no further obligation under the provident fund plan beyond its monthly contribution.

Gratuity:

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and the same is provided on estimation basis as decided by the management.

k. Income Tax:

Tax expense for a year comprises of current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax are measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, after taking into consideration, the applicable deductions and exemptions admissible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred tax reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing difference 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. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. If there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses under tax laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

Deferred tax resulting from timing differences which originate during the tax holiday period but are expected to reverse after such tax holiday period is recognised in the year in which the timing differences originate using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. At each balance sheet date, the company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrealised deferred tax assets to the extent it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax can be realised.

Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay income tax higher than that computed under MAT, during the period that MAT is permitted to be set off under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (specified period). In the year, in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in the guidance note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the said asset is created byway of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay income tax higher than MAT during the specified period.

l. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets:

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Contingent Liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the Notes to Accounts. Contingent Assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

m. Impairment of Assets:

An Assets is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of the assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to profit & loss account in the year in which an asset identified as impaired. The impairment Loss recognized in prior accounting period is reserved if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount.

n. Cash Flow Statement:

The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by the "Indirect Method" set out in Accounting Standard 3 on "Cash Flow Statement" and presents the cash flows by operating investing and financing activities of the Company.
