1.11) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized 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 recognized but are disclosed in the notes
on accounts. Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the Financial
Statements.
1.12) Income Taxes
Income Tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax charge or credit. The current tax is
determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of the estimated taxable income of the period.
The deferred tax charge or credit is recognised using prevailing enacted or substantively enacted
tax rates. Where there are unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward Losses, deferred tax asset is
recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Other deferred tax assets
are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realisation in future. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date based on the developments during the year and
available case laws, to reassess realisation/liabilities.
MAT Credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence
that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period. In the year in which
the Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) Credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way 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 Company will pay normal Income Tax during the
specified period.
1.13) Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted Earnings Per Share (âEPSâ) data for its ordinary shares.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Profit or Loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the Profit or Loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares, which includes all stock options granted to employees.
1.14) Cash Flow Statement
Cash Flows are reported using the Indirect Method. Whereby Profit for the period is adjusted for
effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals are accruals of past or future Operating
cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with Investing or Financing
cash flows. The cash flows from Operating, Investing and Financing activities of the Company
are segregated.
1.15) Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting is not applicable since the entire operations of the Company are related to one
segment i.e. manufacturing of ceramics tiles in terms of Ind AS 108 on operating segments.
1.16) Exceptional Items
Exceptional items refer to items of Income or Expenses within the Statement of Profit and Loss
from ordinary activities which are non-recurring and are of each size, nature or incidence that
their separate disclosure is considered necessary to explain the performance of the Company.
1.17) Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Adoption
The Company applied for the first time these amendments of Ind AS 8 , Ind AS 1 and Ind AS 12 and there
is no material impact on financials.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended
March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards
applicable to the Company.
1.18) Events after Reporting date
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end
of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the Financial Statements. Otherwise,
events after the Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
1.19) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of Financial Statements is in conformity with generally Accepted Accounting Principles
that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Assets
and Liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the result
of operations during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon managementâs best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Revisions in
accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgments are -
- Estimates of Useful life of Plant and Equipment and Intangibles
- Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligation
- Recognition of Deferred Taxes
- Estimation of Impairment
Financial Risk Management
The Companyâs activities expose it to Market Risk, Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk.
Companyâs overall risk management focuses the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks
to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance.
i. Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk of Loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may
result from a change in the price of a Financial Instrument. The value of a Financial
Instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, commodity prices and other market changes that affect Market Risk
sensitive instruments. Market Risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive Financial
Instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and
borrowings.
ii. Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an
exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to change in foreign currency rates. The
Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates is negligible.
The Company did not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.
iii. Interest Rate Risk
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. The Companyâs
exposure to the risk of changes in market rates relates primarily to the Companyâs Short¬
term borrowing. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and re-balances its
financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
iv. Credit Risk
Credit Risk arises when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a
financial instrument or custom contract, leading to a Financial Loss. The Company is
exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its
financing/investing activities, including deposits with banks. The Company has a prudent
and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business
activities. The Company receives payments regularly from its customers and hence the
Company has no significant credit risk.
v. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet
obligations on time or at a reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies
maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company
is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition,
processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.
Management monitors the Companyâs liquidity position through rolling forecasts based on
expected cash flows.
Note 24
Capital Management
The Companyâs objectives when managing capital are to
I) Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy
The following table provide analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to
initial recognition at fair value, grouped into level 1 to 3 as described below.
Level 1 -Quoted Prices in an Active Market
Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This included listed
equity instruments, traded bonds, ETFs and mutual funds that have quoted prices. The fair value of
all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the Stock Exchanges is valued using
the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2 -Valuation Techniques with Observable Inputs.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded
bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the
use of observable market data and really as little as possible and entity-specific estimates if all
significant in put required to fail value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in
level 2.
Level 3 -Valuation Techniques with Significant unobservable inputs.
This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in
part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from
observable current market transactions in the same instruments nor are they based on available market
data. The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Companyâs assets
and liabilities.
