(i) Description of segments and principal activities
The operating segments are classified under two major businesses which the Company is engaged in, and are briefly described as under:
(a) Sugar: The Company is a manufacturer of white crystal sugar, having its plant situated at Shamli, District Shamli, Uttar Pradesh. The sugar is sold to wholesalers and institutional users. The Company uses its captively produced bagasse, generated as a by-product in the manufacturing of sugar, as a feed stock for generating power for meeting the captive power requirements of sugar plant and distillery. Molasses, another by-product in the manufacturing of sugar, is used as raw material for producing alcohol/ethanol. The Company sells the surplus molasses and bagasse after meeting its captive requirements.
(b) Distillery: The Company has a 100 kilo-litres per day (KLPD) distillery situated at Shamli, District Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, which use molasses produced in manufacture of sugar as the principal raw material in production of alcohol/ethanol. The Company has not operated its distillery during the Sugar Season 2024-25 in view of the requirement of extensive repairs for efficient and uninterrupted operations. Based on proper evaluation, necessary repairs and modifications are planned to be undertaken prior to the Sugar Season 2025-26.
The above reportable segments have been identified based on the significant components of the enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to assess the performance and allocate resources to the operating segments.
There are no geographical segments as there are no exports and the sales of the Company takes place indigenously. There is no major reliance on few customers or suppliers.
- Segment profit/(loss) is the Segment revenue less Segment expenses. Segment revenue/expenses includes all revenues/ expenses that are attributable to the segments.
- Finance income, finance costs, current tax/deferred tax charge are not allocated to individual segments since these are managed/applicable on an overall entity basis.

Revenues of approximately '' 8992.35 lakhs (31 March 2024: 23883.90 lakhs) are derived from a single external customer. These revenues are attributed to the sugar segment.
NOTE 35: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS(i) Defined contribution plans
(a) The Company contributes to certain defined contribution retirement benefit plans under which the Company pays fixed contributions to separate entities (funds) or state managed benefit schemes. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. Following are the schemes covered under defined contributions plans of the Company:
Provident Fund Plan & Employee Pension Scheme: The Company makes monthly contributions at prescribed rates towards Employee Provident Fund/ Employee Pension Scheme administered and managed by the Government of India.
Superannuation Scheme: The Company contributes towards a fund established to provide superannuation benefit to certain employees in terms of Superannuation policies entered into by such fund with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
(ii) Defined benefit plan (Gratuity)
(a) The Company operates a defined benefit retirement plan under which the Company pays certain defined benefit by way of gratuity to its employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement/ termination of employment or upon death of an employee, based on the respective employees'' salary and years of employment with the Company.
The plan typically exposes the Company to number of actuarial risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment risk: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with references to government bond yields as at end of reporting period; if plan assets underperform compared to the government bonds discount rate, this will create or increase a deficit.
Interest risk: A decrease in government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this is expected to be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plan''s debt instruments.
Life expectancy: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants during their employment. A change in the life expectancy of the plan participants will impact the plan''s liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan''s liability.
Attrition rate: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is impacted by the rate of employee turnover, disability and early retirement of plan participants. A change in the attrition rate of the plan participants will impact the plan''s liability.
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In the event of change in more than one assumption, the impact would be different than stated above. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.
The Company expects to contribute '' 198.15 lakhs to the defined benefit plan relating to gratuity during the next financial year.
The weighted average duration of the defined gratuity obligation (on discounted cash flow basis) as at 31 March 2025 is 10.27 years (31 March 2024: 10.53 years).
(iii) Defined benefit plan (Provident fund)
(a) Apart from the contributions made by the Company to defined contribution provident fund plan referred in (i) above, the Company has also set up a provident fund trust, to secure the provident fund dues in respect of certain employees of the Company, which is administered by the concerned trustees. The rules of the Company''s provident fund require that if the Board of Trustees are unable to pay interest at the rate declared by the Employees'' Provident Fund Organisation, Government of India, under para 60 of the Employees'' Provident Fund Scheme, 1952 for the reason that the return on investment is less or for any other reason, then the deficiency shall be made good by the Company when determined.
(b) For the year ended 31 March 2025, the Company contributed '' 1.17 lakhs (31 March 2024: '' 6.17 lakhs) to the defined benefit provident fund plan.
The remuneration of key management personnel is determined by the remuneration committee having regard to the performance of individuals, market trends and applicable provisions of Companies Act, 2013.
(iv) Remuneration and outstanding balances of key management personnel does not include long term employee benefits by way of gratuity and compensated absences, which are payable only upon cessation of employment and provided on the basis of actuarial valuation by the Company.
(v) TEIL (Holding Company) has provided a letter of comfort amounting to '' 3,63,00,00,000/- (31 March 2024: Nil) in connection with working capital and term loans agreed to be granted by the lenders to the Company. Outstanding balance of loans under such lending arrangements as at 31 March 2025 is '' 1,73,43,81,692/- (31 March 2024: Nil).
(vi) Terms & conditions:
(a) Loans from the Holding Company were availed at normal commercial terms & conditions and at prevailing market rate of interest.
(b) Other transactions are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm''s length transactions.
(c) The outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement to take place in cash.
For the purpose of capital management, capital includes net debt and total equity of the Company. The primary objective of the capital management is to maximize shareholders'' value along with an objective to keep the leverage in check in view of cyclical capital intensive sugar business of the Company.
The sugar business is the major business of the Company which is seasonal in nature. The entire production of sugar takes place in about six months and is sold throughout the year. It thus necessitates maintaining high levels of sugar inventory requiring high working capital funding. Sugar business being a cyclical business, it is prudent to avoid high leverage and the resultant high finance cost. It is the endeavour of the Company to prune down external debts to acceptable levels based on its financial position.
The Company may resort to further issue of capital for projects which can not be fully funded through internal accruals/debt and/ or to finance working capital requirements.
The Company monitors capital structure through gearing ratio represented by debt-equity ratio (debt/total equity). In addition to the gearing ratio, the Company also looks at non-current debt to operating profit ratio (non-current debt/EBITDA) which provides an indication of adequacy of earnings to service the debts. The Company diligently negotiates the terms and conditions of the loans and ensures adherence to all the financial covenants. The gearing ratio and non-current debt/EBITDA ratio for the Company as at the end of reporting period were as follows:
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The financial position of the Company was under stress due to its inability to meet substantial amount of cane and other overdues. After taking control over the Company by the Holding Company, it arranged funding from lenders and directly infused funds in the Company to meet its finacial commitments and to improve its operations for turnaround. Non-current borrowings include funding of '' 12850 lakhs by the Holding Company which is quasi equity in nature.
NOTE 38: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other payables. The main purpose of the financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances.
The Company''s activities expose it mainly to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The monitoring and management of such risks is undertaken by the senior management of the Company and there are appropriate policies and procedures in place through which such financial risks are identified, measured and managed.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is associated with the possibility of a counterparty defaulting on its contractual obligations to pay, resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risks from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables and retentions. The credit risks in respect of deposits with the banks and other financial instruments are nominal.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that a counter party may not be able to settle their dues as agreed. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk from its trade recievables. The Company''s sugar sales are generally on cash terms or on very short credit period basis. Sales from its distillery are generally to reputed private parties on limited credit period basis. The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of its customers taking into account their track record in the market and past dealing with the Company. Concentration of credit risk is limited since the Company has a diverse customer base. Credit risk is also mitigated to an extent by ensuring reciept of adequate advance and security deposit from its customers/agents.
The impairment analysis is performed on each reporting period on individual basis for major customers. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each financial asset as detailed in note 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12.
Overall, the credit risk from receivable is low in view of short credit period and government customers.
Basis as explained above, life time expected credit loss (âECLâ) is determined on trade receivables except in cases where advance payment or short term credit is granted or payment is due from Government/reputed parties, where there has been no track record of short receipts. The provision for ECL (in addition to the specific credit losses, if any, provided on specific financial assets) is therefore assessed at Nil.
(ii) Liquidity risk
The Company uses liquidity forecast tools to manage its liquidity. The Company operates capital intensive sugar business and has obligation to timely make cane price payments within the statutory time period. Additionally, it is also required to pay the cane and other overdues. The Company is able to organise liquidity through own funds, loans availed from Holding Company and through working capital loans. However, when the sugar fundamentals are unfavourable, either due to market forces or due to excessive cane pricing by the Government, the payment of cane price may get delayed though it is the endeavour of the Company to make cane payment on a priority basis. It is the objective and focus of the Company to reduce debts to be able to meet the cyclicalities of the sugar business.
The lower than normal current ratio is due to substantial overdues towards cane and other overdues. Funds are being arranged to pay such overdues and to turnaround the operations of the Company. Further, in view of seasonal nature of sugar business, which is a dominant business of the Company, there is a peak build-up of sugar inventories at the year end, resulting in peak working capital requirement. With the liquidation of such inventories over the year, the working capital requirement is gradually reduced. Thus, the current ratio computed at the year end is not a reflection of average and realistic ratio for the year.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The amounts disclosed in the table have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
(iii) Market risk
The Company is exposed to following key market risks:
(a) Interest rate risk on loans and borrowings
(b) Sugar price risk
All borrowings availed by the Company are subject to interest on floating rate basis linked to the MCLR (Marginal Cost of funds based Lending Rate). In view of the fact that the total borrowings of the Company are quite substantial, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk.
The strategy of the Company to opt for floating interest rates is helpful in maintaining market related realistic rates. The interest rate risk is mitigated upto certain extent as 3.5% of the long term debts as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: 61.7% of long term debts) comprises loans carrying concessional interest rates/interest subvention.
While declining interest rates would be beneficial to the Company, adverse interest rate fluctuations could increase the finance cost. The total impact, in respect of borrowings on floating interest rate basis, is limited as per sensitivity analysis provided here under:
The sugar prices are dependent inter-alia on domestic and global sugar balance - higher supplies lead to softening of sugar prices whereas higher demand than available supplies lead to hardening of sugar prices. The Company sells most of its sugar in the domestic market where there are no effective mechanism available to hedge sugar prices in view of limited breadth in the commodity exchanges. The Company also exports sugar in the years of surplus production based on Government policy on exports.
Adverse changes in sugar price impact the Company in the following manner:
- The Company values sugar stocks at lower of cost of production (COP) and net realisable value (NRV). In the event, the COP of sugar is higher than the NRV, the stocks are written down to NRV leading to recognition of loss on such inventory.
- The Company is a large producer of sugar and even a small variation in the sugar price leads to significant impact on the profitability of the Company.
As Lessee
Assets taken under lease mainly include residential, office and plots of land. These are generally not non-cancellable leases and are renewable by mutual consent and on mutually agreeable terms. The Company has given refundable interest free security deposits under a lease agreement. There is no contingent rent, sublease payments or restriction imposed in the lease agreement.
The Company has given certain portion of its factory premises under operating leases. These leases are not non-cancellable and are extendable by mutual consent and at mutually agreeable terms. The gross carrying amount, accumulated depreciation and depreciation recognised in the statement of profit and loss in respect of such portion of the leased premises are not separately identifiable. There is no impairment loss in respect of such premises. No contingent rent has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss. There are no minimum future lease payments as there are no non-cancellable leases. Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss under âOther incomeâ (refer note 24).

The Gratuity Liability is computed on actuarial valuation basis done at year end using the Project Unit Credit Method is provided for in the books of account and is based on a detailed working done by a certified Actuary. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested.
The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is certified by the actuary.
Company manages Gratuity obligation through Trust. Company arranges the fund based on the actuarial valuation and requirement of the Trust. The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with FY 2023-24

The Company remains committed to fund all gratuity payments falling due and shall strive to gradually reduce the deficit in funding of its obligation in the coming years.
The Company expects to contribute Rs.218.11 Lakhs to the defined benefit plan relating to gratuity during the next financial year.
The weighted average duration of the defined gratuity obligation as at 31 March 2024 is 10.5362 years (31 March 2023, 10 years)
The expected maturity analysis of un-discounted defined benefit obligation as at 31 March 2024 is as follows :
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability. Salary risk
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
c) Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for Rs.650.96 Lakhs against which advance has been paid Rs.81.84 Lakhs.(Previous year Rs. 5.00 Lakhs).

The Company has submitted monthly statement to the bank, however there is no material difference in reporting the quantity of stock in bank statement as compare to books of Accounts. The diffrence between the value as per books of accounts statement submitted with lenders are given below:
The Companyâs activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note explains the sources of risks which the entity is exposed to and how it mitigates that risk.
A. Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. Company is exposed to credit risk from trade receivables and deposits with banks. To manage this, Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings with the Company for extension of credit to customers. Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Concentrations of credit risk are limited as a result of the Companyâs large and diverse customer base. Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers/agents, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent. The ageing of trade receivable is given below:
Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which term deposits are maintained. Term deposits are maintained with banks with which Company has also availed borrowings B Liquidity risk :
Liquidity risk is the risk that a company may encounter difficulties in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date.
C. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial instruments measured at fair value can be divided into three levels for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:-
a. Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short-term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities and shortterm borrowings carried at amortised cost is not materially different from itâs carrying cost largely due to short-term maturities of these financial assets and liabilities.
b. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rate fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are evaluated by Company based on parameters such as interest rate, credit rating or assessed credit worthiness.
c. Non-listed shares and other securities fall within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuation is based on the net asset method.
d. Fair value of the borrowing items fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is calculated on the basis of discounted future cash flows.
e. IndAS 101 allow Company to fair value Property, Plant and Equipment on transition. Company has valued property,plant and equipment as deemed cost.
i) Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Companyâs financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements:
The Company is exposed to the risk of movements in interest rates, inventory price that affects its assets, liabilities and future
transactions.
i) Interest rate risk
Fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument because of changes in market interest rates gives rise to interest rate risk. The Companyâs borrowings are linked to base rates of the banks. With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of change in interest rate on borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans.
ii) Inventory price risk
The Company is exposed to the movement in price of principal finished product i.e. sugar. Prices of the sugar cane is fixed by government. Generally, sugar production is carried out during sugar cane harvesting period from November to April. Sugar is sold throughout the year which exposes the sugar inventory to the movement in the price. Company monitors the sugar prices on daily basis and formulates the sales strategy to achieve maximum realisation. The sensitivity analysis of the change in sugar price on the inventory as at year end, other factors remaining constant in given in table below:
iii) Regulatory risk
Sugar industry is regulated both by central government as well as state government. Central and State governments polices and regulations affects the Sugar industry and the Companyâs operations and profitability. Distillery business is also dependent on the Government policy. However, with the removal of major regulatory control on sugar sales by the Central Government, the regulatory risks are moderated by not eliminated.
iv) Commodity price risk
Sugar prices are market driven and sugar industry being cyclical in nature, realizations get adversely affected during downturn Higher cane price or higher production than the demand ultimately affect profitability. The Company has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by products.
With effect from 1 April 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it mandatory for companies to maintain an audit trail feature throughout the year for transactions impacting books of accounts. While the circular dated 24 March 2021 laid out the requirement for management to enable the audit trail feature. We are maintaining the Audit Trail accordingly. However, there is need to upgrade and update so that each entry recording in books of accounts shown in Audit Trail transparently and in any instance of the audit trail feature being not tempered. The feature of recording audit trail(edit log) facility was not enabled at the database level to log and direct data changes for the accounting softwareâs used for maintaining the books of account relating to payroll, consolidation process and certain no-editable fields/tables of the account software used for maintaining general ledger.
NOTE NO. 55.
âThe net worth of the company has since been eroded on account of operational losses, incurred by the company upto the F.Y. 2014-15, which was basically on account of low recovery of sugar from sugarcane. Whereas on account of improvement in the sugar manufacturing unit, during the season 2015-16, the recovery has substantially improved with the result that the company has earned profit during the year 2016-17. The company has also reported profit during the year ending on 31.03.2020 Rs.384.91 Lakhs as compare to loss Rs. 1410.62 Lakhs during the year ending on 31.03.2021. The company is continuously striving for improvement in the operational efficiencies in other parameters. The company continue to operate at optimum levels and expects improvement in the operational efficiency in form of improvement in sugar recovery, reduction of over heads, finance and other cost. During the financial year 2023-24 the Company has substantial decrease in loss due to increase of recovery of sugar from sugar cane & improvement in sugar price. The Government has taken different measures to improve the financial health of Sugar industry to fix obligation for export of sugar (MIEQ-minimum indicative export quota) to reduce sugar availability, fixation of minimum support price(MSP) for sugar. Also, the Government has put a great thrust on promoting ethanol production and has planned to increase the ethanol blending in petrol upto 20 % by 2025. Ethanol will turn around the economic dynamics of the sugar industry positively. All these measures are expected to turnaround the operations of sugar industry on sustainable basis. As such the company will remain as a going concern and is likely to pay itâs liabilities including cane dues from expected generation of cash flow. However the accumulated losses of the company as at 31.03.2024 were Rs.16959.56 Lakhs (excluding revaluation reserve) as against the paid up capital of Rs. 525.00 Lakhsâ

NOTE NO.58.
Certain previous year figures have been rearranged to make them comparable with current figures.
Mar 31, 2023
a) Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When the effect of the time value of money is material, provision is measured at the present value of cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
b) A contingent liability is not recognised in the financial statements, however, is disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. It becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item dealt with as a contingent liability, a provision is recognised in the standalone financial statements of the period (except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made).
c) A contingent liability is not recognised in the financial statements, however, is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the asset is no longer a contingent asset, and is recognised as an asset.
d) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
a) Short term employee benefits:
All employee benefits falling due wholly with in twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short term employee benefits, which include benefits like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences and performance incentives and are recognized as expenditure at the undiscounted value in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

c) In Govt. administered fund, company has no further obligations beyond its monthly contributions.
d) The Company is also contributing to superannuation fund for certain key managerial personnel, at pre determined rates to the Superannuation Fund Trust, which is recognised as expenses in the period in which employee renders the related service, and there are no other obligations with regard to superannuation fund of key managerial personnel.
e) Defined benefit plans - gratuity: Gratuity liability is covered under the gratuity-cum-insurance policy of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The present value of the obligation is determined based on an actuarial valuation, using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses in respect of post- employment and other long-term benefits are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income. The amount funded by the trust administered by the Company under the aforesaid Policy, is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plan, to recognise the obligation on a net basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over
the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected
life of the financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial liability.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification
a) An asset is treated as current when it is:
a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period,
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period, or

Subsidy related to Sugar Cane purchased are recognised, where there is a reasonable assurance that grant will be received & all attached condition will be complied. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. The benefit of a loan at a below market rate of interest or loan with interest subvention is treated as a government grant, measured as a difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
Compensation to employees under Voluntary Retirement Scheme is charged to statement of profit and loss account in the year of accrual.
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Unquoted Investments are Stated at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
