2 Material accounting policies

2.1 Statement of Compliance

The financial statements of the company have been
prepared to comply with the Indian Accounting
Standards (''Ind AS''), notified under the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act).

2.2 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial
statements

The financial statements have been prepared on the
historical cost basis except for certain financial assets
and liabilities which have been measured at fair value.

Company''s financial statements are presented in Indian
Rupees (''), which is its functional currency.

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and
notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as
per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise
stated.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current
or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating
cycle (twelve months) and other criteria set out in the
Schedule III to the Act.

2.3 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the
Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the reported income and expenses during
the year. The Management believes that the estimates
used in preparation of the financial statements are
prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due
to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the
periods in which the results are known/materialise.

(a) Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost,
net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates
less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, if any. Such cost includes purchase price,
borrowing cost and any cost directly attributable
to bringing the assets to its working condition for
its intended use, net charges on foreign exchange
contracts and adjustments arising from exchange
rate variations attributable to the assets.

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 the entity and the cost can be measured
reliably.

Cost incurred on Property, Plant and Equipment
not ready for their intended use is disclosed
as Capital Work-in-Progress. Advances paid
towards the acquisition of Property, Plant and
Equipment outstanding at each balance sheet
date are classified as capital advances under other
non-current assets. Unpaid amounts towards
acquisition of Property, Plant and Equipment
outstanding at each balance sheet date are
classified under other current financial liabilities if
due within one year from the date of these financial
statements and under other non-current financial
liabilities if due after a year from the date of these
financial statements.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of
depreciation of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if deemed appropriate.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a
property, plant and equipment are measured as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss
when the asset is derecognised.

(b) Intangible assets

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition
net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and
rebate less accumulated amortisation/ depletion
and impairment loss, if any. Such cost includes
purchase price, development costs, borrowing
costs and any cost directly attributable to bringing
the asset to its working condition for the intended
use and net charges on foreign exchange contracts
and adjustments arising from exchange rate
variations attributable to the intangible assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s
carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the items will
flow to the Company and cost can be measured
reliably.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an
intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is
derecognised.

(c) Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is
provided using straight-line basis using the rates
arrived at based on the useful lives estimated
by the management, or those prescribed under
Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013,
whichever is lower.

Depreciation for property, plant and equipment
purchased/sold during a period is proportionately
charged. Fixed Assets individually costing
'' 5,000/- or less are fully depreciated in the year
of acquisition. The Company has estimated the
useful lives for the fixed assets as follows :
* In case of office equipments, useful life is
estimated to approximate their expected wear &
tear, which is higher than the one prescribed under
Part C of Schedule II.

Software acquired initially together with hardware
is capitalised along with the cost of hardware and
depreciated in the same manner as the hardware.

The Company has estimated the useful lives for the
intangible assets as follows :

Computer Software 5 years (or useful life of
computer software whichever is lower)

(d) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing Cost includes interest expense
calculated using the effective interest method
under Ind AS 109 and exchange differences arising

from foreign currency borrowings to the extent
they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest
cost.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of an asset
that necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use or sale are
capitalised as part of the cost of the respective
asset.

All other borrowing costs are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which
they are incurred.

(e) Impairment of non-financial assets - property,
plant and equipment, investment property and
intangible assets

The Company assesses at each reporting dates
as to whether there is any indication that any
property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is
estimated to determine the extent of impairment,
if any.

If such recoverable amount of the asset or the
recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced
to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognized in the Statement of the Profit and Loss
to the extent, asset''s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount.

The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting
period is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimate of recoverable amount.

(f) Investments

Investments are carried at cost.

(g) Inventories

The media content (copyrights) are stated at lower
of cost/unamortised cost or net realisable value.
The Company evaluates the net realisable value
and/or revenue potential of inventory based on
management estimate of market conditions and
future demand and appropriate impairment is
made in cases where accelerated impairment is
warranted.

The copyrights are valued at a percentage of
cost based on the nature of rights, as estimated
by the Management. The Company evaluates the
net realisable value and/or revenue potential
of inventory based on management estimate

of market conditions and future demand and
appropriate write down is made in cases where
accelerated write down is warranted.

Inventories of Raw material Stock are valued at
cost or estimated net realizable value whichever is
lower.

Projects in progress and movies under production
are stated at cost. Cost comprises the cost of
materials, the cost of services, labour and other
expenses, to the extent they are incurred for
creating an asset.

Inventories of physical media which consists
of DVDs, Blu-ray, Physical Equipments &
Merchandising are valued on FIFO basis.

The borrowing costs directly attributable to a
movie is capitalised as part of the cost.

(h) Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Company''s right to
an amount of consideration that is unconditional
(i.e., only the passage of time is required before
payment of the consideration is due or payments
are already due but yet to be realized).

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash in hand and demand
deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short¬
term balances (with an original maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition), highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible into
known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value.

(j) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows from operating activities are stated
using the indirect method, whereby profit/(loss)
before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted
for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature
and any deferrals or accruals of past or future
cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of
the Company are segregated in a manner which is
most appropriate to the business.

(k) Financial Assets

A. Initial recognition and measurement :

All financial assets are initially recognised at
fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial
assets, which are not at fair value through
profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value
on initial recognition. Purchase and sale of

financial assets are recognised using trade
date accounting.

B. Subsequent measurement :

a) Financial assets carried at amortised
cost

A financial asset is subsequently
measured at amortised cost if it is
held within a business model whose
objective is to hold the asset in order 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.

b) Financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

A financial asset is measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income if
it is held within a business model whose
objective is achieved by both collecting
contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets 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.

c) Financial assets carried at fair value
through profit or loss (FVTPL)

A financial asset which is not classified
in the above categories are fair valued
through profit or loss.

C. Investment in subsidiaries, associates and
joint ventures :

The Company has accounted for its
investments in subsidiaries, associates and
joint venture at cost.

D. Impairment of Financial assets :

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company
uses ‘Expected Credit Loss'' (ECL) model,
for evaluating impairment assessment of
financial assets other than those measured at
fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

The Company measures the expected credit
loss associated with its assets based on
historical trend, industry practices and the
business environment in which the entity
operates or any other appropriate basis. The
impairment methodology applied depends on

whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk.

As a practical expedient, the Company uses
a provision matrix to determine impairment
loss allowance on portfolio of its trade
receivables. The provision matrix is based on
its historically observed default rates over the
expected life of the trade receivables and is
adjusted for forward-looking estimates. Every
year, the historical observed default rates are
updated and changes in the forward-looking
estimates are analysed.

(l) Derivative Financial Instrument

The Company uses various derivative financial
instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency
swaps, forwards & options and commodity
contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in interest
rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. The
derivatives are initially recognized at fair value
on the date the contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at
each reporting date.

The company has measured all derivative financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL) unless they qualify for and are designated
as effective hedging instruments. Changes in the
fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges
are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(m) Financial Liabilities

A. Initial recognition and measurements :

All financial liabilities are recognized initially
at fair value and in case of loans net of directly
attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are
directly recognised in profit or loss as finance
cost.

B. Subsequent measurement :

Financial liabilities are carried at amortized
cost using the effective interest method. For
trade and other payables maturing within
one year from the Balance Sheet date, the
carrying amounts approximate fair value due
to the short maturity of these instruments.

(n) Leases

The Company assesses whether a contract contains
a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period
of time in exchange for consideration. To assess
whether a contract conveys the right to control the

use of an identified asset, the Company assesses
whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified
asset;

(ii) the Company has substantially all of the
economic benefits from use of the asset
through the period of the lease; and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of
the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the
Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”)
and a corresponding lease liability for all lease
arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for
leases with a term of twelve months or less (short¬
term leases) and low value leases. For these short
term and low value leases, the Company recognizes
the lease payments as an operating expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options
to extend or terminate the lease before the end
of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities
includes these options when it is reasonably
certain that the option to extend will be exercised
and the option to terminate will not be exercised.

The right-of use assets are initially recognized at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the
lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or prior to the commencement date of
the lease plus any initial direct costs less any
lease incentives. They are subsequently measured
at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the
commencement date on a straight line basis over
the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the
underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated
for recoverability whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that their carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose
of impairment testing, the recoverable amount
(i.e.the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and
the value-in-use) is determined on an individual
asset basis unless the asset does not generate
cashflows that are largely independent of those
from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable
amount is determined for the Cash Generating
Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at the
present value of the future lease payments.
The lease payments are discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily

determinable, using the incremental borrowing
rates in the country of domicile of these
leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a
corresponding adjustment to the related right of
use asset if the Company changes its assessment
of whether it will exercise an extension or a
termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset
are separately presented in the Balance Sheet and
lease payments are classified as financing cash
flows.

(o) Employee Benefits

Short Term Employee Benefits

The undiscounted amount of short term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognised as
an expense during the period when the employees
render the services.

Long Term Employee Benefits

Compensated absences which are not expected
to occur within twelve months after the end of
the period in which the employee renders the
related service are recognised as a liability as at
the Balance Sheet date on the basis of actuarial
valuation.

Post-employment Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

A Defined contribution plan is a post-employment
benefit plan under which the Company pays
specified contributions towards Provident Fund
and Pension Scheme. The Company''s contribution
is recognised as an expense in the Statement
of Profit and Loss during the period in which the
employee renders the related service.

Defined Benefit Plans

Gratuity

The liability in respect of gratuity and other post
employment benefits is calculated using the
Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the
period during which the benefit is expected to be
derived from employee''s services.

Re-measurement of Defined benefit plans in
respect of post-employment and other long term
benefits are charged to the Other Comprehensive
Income.

(p) Tax Expenses

The tax expense for the period comprises current
and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in Statement of

Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised in the comprehensive income
or in equity.

Current Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at
the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and
laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at
the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred Tax

Deferred Tax is recognised on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements
and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabiliies are recognised for all taxable
temporory differences except to the extent they
arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or
from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction which is not a business combination
& at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be
available against which the deductible temporary
differences and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets
is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow
all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be
utilised.

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
realised, 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 liabilities and assets are reviewed
at the end of each reporting period.

(q) Foreign currencies transactions and translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded
at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of
transaction. Exchange differences arising on
settlement or translation of monetary item are
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the functional

currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting
date. Non-monetary items that are measured in
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the dates of
the initial transactions.

(r) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable
that economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue is measured at the transaction value.

1. Sale of Content, Content Production, Film
Distribution and Syndication -
Revenue is
recognised, when the company satisfies the
performance obligation by transferrring the
control over the item in accordance with the
agreed terms.

Contract assets - Unbilled Revenue

A contract asset is the right to consideration
in exchange for services transferred to the
customer. If the Company transfers services
to a customer before the customer pays
consideration or before payment is due, a
contract asset is recognised for the earned
consideration that is conditional. Contract
assets are recognised when there is excess
of revenue earned over billings on contracts.
Contract assets are classified as unbilled
revenues (only act of invoicing is pending)
when there is unconditional right to receive
cash, and only passage of time is required, as
per contractual terms.

2. Broadcasting revenue - Advertisement
revenue (net of discount and volume rebates)
is recognised when the related advertisement
or commercial appears before the public i.e.
on telecast. Subscription revenue (net of
share to broadcaster) is recognised on time
basis on the provision of television / digital
broadcasting service to subscribers.

3. Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods (ACDs/VCDs/
DVDs/ACS/BRDs) is recognised when all the
significant risks and rewards of ownership
of the goods have been passed to the buyer,
usually on delivery of goods measured at
the transaction value of the consideration
received or receivable, net of returns and
allowances, trade discounts and volume
rebates and excluding taxes or duties
collected on behalf of the government.

4. Subscription Revenue

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer
services to a customer for which the Company
has received consideration (or an amount of
consideration is due) from the customer. If
a customer pays consideration before the
Company transfers services to the customer,
a contract liability is recognised when the
payment is made, or the payment is due
(whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are
recognised as revenue when the Company
satisfies its performance obligation under the
contract. Unearned and deferred revenue is
recognised when there are billings in excess
of revenues.

(s) Other income

i) Interest Income

Interest Income from a financial asset is
recognised based on Effective Interest Rate
(EIR). Interest Income is included under the
head "other income" in the statement of
profit and loss.

ii) Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognised when the
Group''s right to receive the payment has been
established, it is probable that the economic
benefits associated with the dividend will flow
to the company & the amount of dividend can
be measured reliably.

iii) Rent Income is recognised on accrual basis as
per the agreed terms on straight line basis.

(t) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the year. For
calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit
or (loss) for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding are adjusted for the effects of
all dilutive potential equity shares.

(m) Leases

The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that the option to extend will be exercised and the option to terminate will not be exercised.

The right-of use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e.the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cashflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset are separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments are classified as financing cash flows.

(n) Employee Benefits

Short Term Employee Benefits

The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised as an expense during the period when the employees render the services.

Long Term Employee Benefits

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability as at the Balance Sheet date on the basis of actuarial valuation.

Post-employment Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

A Defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays specified contributions towards Provident Fund and Pension Scheme. The Company’s contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Defined Benefit Plans Gratuity

The liability in respect of gratuity and other post employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employee’s services.

Re-measurement of Defined benefit plans in respect of post-employment and other long term benefits are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income.

(o) Tax Expenses

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the comprehensive income or in equity.

Current Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred Tax

Deferred Tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabiliies are recognised for all taxable temporory differences except to the extent they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination & at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilised.

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

realised, 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 liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

(p) Foreign currencies transactions and translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary item are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

(q) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the transaction value.

1. Sale of Content, Content Production, Film Distribution and Syndication - Revenue is recognised, when the Company satisfies the performance obligation by transferrring the control over the item in accordance with the agreed terms.

Contract assets - Unbilled Revenue

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to the customer. If the Company transfers services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled revenues (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.

2. Broadcasting revenue - Advertisement revenue (net of discount and volume rebates) is recognised when the related advertisement or commercial appears before the public i.e. on telecast. Subscription revenue (net of share to broadcaster) is recognised on time basis on the provision of television / digital broadcasting service to subscribers.

Revenue from sale of goods (ACDs/VCDs/ DVDs/ACS/BRDs) is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of goods measured at the transaction value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

4. Subscription Revenue

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract. Unearned and deferred revenue is recognised when there are billings in excess of revenues.

(r) Other income

i) Interest Income

Interest Income from a financial asset is recognised based on Effective Interest Rate (EIR). Interest Income is included under the head “other income” in the statement of profit and loss.

ii) Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment has been established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the company & the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

iii) Rent Income is recognised on accrual basis as per the agreed terms on straight line basis.

(s) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or (loss) for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(t) Provisions, contingent liabilities & contigent assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a financial cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Provisions and contingent liabilities are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

(u) Investment property

Investment in buildings that is not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the Company, are classified as investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. All repairs and maintenance costs incurred for the investment properties are charged to statement of profit and loss account when incurred.

Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line basis over its estimated useful lives. Useful life of the same is estimated as 58 years after considering estimated residual value as 5%.

Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes (Refer Note 3(b)). Fair values are determined based on ready reckoner rate as specified by State Government. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical carrying value.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition

Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing cost and any cost directly attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the assets.

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 entity and the cost can be measured reliably.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if deemed appropriate.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

(b) Intangible asset

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebate less accumulated amortisation/ depletion and impairment loss, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing costs, and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use and net charges on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the intangible assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.

(e) Impairment of non-financial assets - property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The Company assesses at each reporting dates as to whether there is any indication that any property, plant and equipment and intangible assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any.

If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of the Profit and Loss to the extent the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount.

(f) Investments

Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments.

On the initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair value of securities issued. If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.

Current investments are carried in the financial statements at cost. Non-Current investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized prospectively in the period in which results are known or materialized.

c. Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost including related internal costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the fixed assets are capitalized.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

d. Depreciation on tangible fixed assets

Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management, or those prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, whichever is lower. Depreciation for assets purchased/sold during a period is proportionately charged. Fixed assets individually costing Rs. 5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

Computer Software 5 years

f. Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur except Bill Discounting charges which are being carried forward on time proportion basis.

g. Impairment of assets

The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account. If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.

h. Investments

Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.

On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.

Current investments are carried in the financial statements at cost. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

Gratuity has been accounted on the basis of actuarial valuation and the contribution thereof paid / payable is charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss each year.

Leave encashment benefits have been accounted on the basis of acturial valuation done. The Projected Unit Credit Method as stipulated by AS-15 has been used to determine liability as on 31st March 2017.

o. Income tax

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the company operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences 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 realized. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.

At each reporting date, the company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.

The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences 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 realized. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.

At each reporting date, the company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

r) Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
