expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of
the Company are segregated.

to an insignificant risk of change in value and are having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase,
are considered as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal
and usage.
The identification of operating segment is consistent with performance assessment and resource allocation by the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM). An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities
from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of
the other components of the Company and for which discrete financial information is available.
The preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with the measurement principle under Ind AS requires
management to make estimates, judgements 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 revenues and expenses during the period. 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. Differences between the
actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known/ materialized and, if material, their
effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments and the use
of assumptions in the financial statements have been disclosed below.
Property, Plant and Equipment, ROU Assets and intangible assets are depreciated/amortized on straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives (or lease term if shorter) in accordance with internal assessment and independent evaluation carried out by technical
expert/ Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, taking into account the estimated residual value, wherever applicable.
The company reviews it is carrying value of its Tangible and Intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets
are impaired. The required level of impairment losses to be recognized is estimated by reference to the estimated value in use or
recoverable amount of the respective assets. In such situation Assetsâ recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of assets or
cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the future cash flows are
estimated based on assumptions involving future projections and profitability which are inherently uncertain and are discounted
using pre-tax discount rate which reflect the current assessment of time value ofmoney. In determining fair value less cost of disposal,
recent market realizations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted.
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives ofthe assets regularly in order to determine the amount ofdepreciation/ amortization
to be recorded during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in a change in such expenses in future periods.
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of
impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on
the ageing of the trade receivables balance, creditworthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience. If the financial
conditions of the trade receivable were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during
the estimation of the provision for income taxes. Also, there are many transactions and calculations during the ordinary course
of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on the assessment of the probability of the Companyâs future
taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing
the impact of any legal or economic benefits.
The present value of the defined benefit obligations and long-term employee benefits depends on a number of factors that are
determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income)
include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit obligations. The
Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine
the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the obligations. In determining the appropriate
discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of Government securities that have terms to maturity approximating the
terms of the related defined benefit obligation. Other key assumptions for obligations are based on current market conditions.
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost annually, or more frequently when there is indication of
impairment. If recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
The renewal of the lease agreement between the company and the Government of West Bengal is under active consideration and
tenure thereof is expected to be extended. Pending outcome of the steps taken as above, operations and related arrangements have
been considered as ongoing and standalone financial statements has been continued to be made on the Going concern basis.
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting
from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification
of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
*Ail**lT
Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/ claim/
litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take
account of changing facts and circumstances.

financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily Trade Receivables) and from its financing
activities including Deposits with Banks and Financial Institutions, Investments and other financial instruments. Outstanding customer
receivables are regularly monitored and the maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying value of trade receivables
disclosed in note no. 12.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities.
The Company determines its liquidity requirement in the short, medium and long term. Its objective is to maintain optimum levels of
liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements at all times. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings and excess operating cash
flows to meet its needs for funds. The current committed lines of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium/ long term expansion
needs. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
Market risk is the risk that the Fair Value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk i.e., interest rate risk operational risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, Trade Receivables and Trade Payables.

exchange rates. The company engages consultants imports goods and other services, and sells component goods and services,
wherein the payments and /or receipts are made in foreign currency. There is no outstanding asset/ liability in foreign currency as
on the Balance Sheet date.
ii) Interest rate risk is the risk that the Fair Value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market interest rates. Currently, the Company does not have either short term or long term borrowings and accordingly, the
Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
iii) Other price risk is related to the change in market reference price of the investments which are fair valued and exposes the company
to price risks.The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities subject to price risk is as below:

Borrowing cost comprises of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of the funds. All borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method except to the extent attributable to qualifying assets which are capitalized to the cost of the related assets.

Income tax expense representing the sum of current tax expenses and the net charge of the deferred taxes is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is provided on the taxable income and recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized 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 utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set offthe recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The identification of operating segment is consistent with performance assessment and resource allocation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components of the Company and for which discrete financial information is available.
The preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with the measurement principle under Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgements 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 revenues and expenses during the period. 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. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known/ materialized and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments and the use of assumptions in the financial statements have been disclosed below.
Property, Plant and Equipment, ROU Assets and intangible assets are depreciated/amortized on straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term if shorter) in accordance with internal assessment and independent evaluation carried out by technical expert/ Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, taking into account the estimated residual value, wherever applicable.
The company reviews it is carrying value of its Tangible and Intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. The required level of impairment losses to be recognized is estimated by reference to the estimated value in use or recoverable amount of the respective assets. In such situation Assetsâ recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of assets or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the future cash flows are estimated based on assumptions involving future projections and profitability which are inherently uncertain and are discounted using pre-tax discount rate which reflect the current assessment of time value ofmoney. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realizations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted.
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives ofthe assets regularly in order to determine the amount ofdepreciation/ amortization to be recorded during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in a change in such expenses in future periods.
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, creditworthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience. If the financial conditions of the trade receivable were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes. Also, there are many transactions and calculations during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on the assessment of the probability of the Companyâs future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic benefits.
The present value of the defined benefit obligations and long-term employee benefits depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of defined benefit obligations. The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of Government securities that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related defined benefit obligation. Other key assumptions for obligations are based on current market conditions.
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost annually, or more frequently when there is indication of impairment. If recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
The renewal of the lease agreement between the company and the Government of West Bengal is under active consideration and tenure thereof is expected to be extended. Pending outcome of the steps taken as above, operations and related arrangements have been considered as ongoing and standalone financial statements has been continued to be made on the Going concern basis.
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/ claim/ litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

In preparing these Standalone financial statements, the Company has applied the below mentioned optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions.
I. Applicable Mandatory Exceptions
(i) Estimates
As per para 14 of Ind AS 101, an entityâs estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS at the end of the comparative period presented in the entityâs first Ind AS financial statements, as the case may be, should be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with the previous GAAP unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. However, the estimates should be adjusted to reflect any differences in accounting policies.
(ii) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Para B8 - B8C of Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortized cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable.
II. Optional Exemptions Availed

(Refer Note 50 to Annual Accounts)
5(i) Reconciliation of Balance Sheet as on March 31, 2017 and April 1, 2016
5 (ii) Reconciliation of Total Equity as at April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017

5 (iv) Reconciliation on Effect of Ind AS adoption on the Statement of Cash Flow for the year ended March 31,2017 .
I) Long term borrowings
Under IGAAP, the Company accounted for long term borrowings measured at transaction value. Under Ind AS, the Company has recognised the long term borrowings at amortised cost using effective interest rate (EIR).
II) Financial Instruments
(a) Equity investments measured at FVOCI
Under IGAAP, investments in long term equity instruments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Under IND AS, the same has been accounted as Fair value through Other Comprehensive income.
(b) Investment in Mutual Funds measured at FVTPL
Under IGAAP, current investments were carried at lower of cost or net realisable value. Under IND AS, the same has been measured at fair value through Profit and Loss
(c ) Security Deposit
Under IGAAP, Security deposit received from licensee were accounted at their carrying value. Under IND AS, the Company has initially recognised security deposit at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost as per IND AS 109.
III) Dividend
Under IGAAP, proposed dividends including Dividend Distribution Taxes (DDT) are recognized as a liability in the period to which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared. Under Ind AS, a proposed dividend is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid. Therefore liability recorded for Proposed dividend including DDT has been derecognised against retained earnings as at 0i.04.2016
IV) Deferred Revenue
Under IGAAP, grants received from government agencies against Property, Plant and Equipment was accounted as âCapital Reserveâ under Reserve and Surplus. Under IND AS, the same has been presented as deferred revenue grant under Other liabilities and is being amortised in the statement of profit & loss on a systematic basis.
V) Deferred tax
Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS i2 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP.
In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity.
VI) Leases
Under IGAAP, the Company had capitalised site development expenses as leasehold land under Property, Plant and Equipment and the same was being amortised over the lease period of 33 years from 2nd March, i990. Under INDAS, the lease has been classified as operating lease as per IND AS-17, and the balance amount as on transition date has been reclassified as Prepaid Lease rentals which shall be subsequently charged to the Statement of Profit and loss over the remaining lease period
VII) Re-classifications
a) Assets / liabilities which do not meet the definition of financial asset / financial liability have been reclassified to other asset / liability.
b) Remeasurement gain/loss on long term employee defined benefit plans are re-classified from statement of profit and loss to OCI.
6. Previous GAAP figures have been reclassified / regrouped to conform to the presentation requirements under IND AS and the requirements laid down in Schedule-III (Division -II) of the Companies Act, 2013. (Refer Note 51 to Annual Accounts).
