2.2	Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, using historical cost convention and on an accrual method of accounting, except for financial assets, financial liabilities and defined benefit plans which have been measured at fair value, as required by relevant Ind AS.
2.3	Current and non-current classification The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following criteria: a) It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold in the Company''s normal operating cycle. b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading, c) It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or d) It is a cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for atleast twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current A liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following criteria: a) it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle, b) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading, c) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period d) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent. Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.
2.4	Use of estimates and assumptions The preparation of the company''s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
2.5	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipments are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost comprises of purchase price and other attributable costs , if any , in bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation (i) Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment is provided for on Straight Line method in the manner prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013 and reckoning the maximum residual value @ 5% of the original cost of the asset. (ii) In respect of addition of assets during the year, depreciation has been provided on Pro-rata basis.
2.6	Inventories Stocks are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is less.

2.7	Revenue recognition Brokerage and Commission receipts “¦ - -1- DAMANI Brokerage and Commission receipts are recognised on accrual basis. Dividend Income Dividend income is recognised upon approval by relevant authority and the right to receive is established. Interest Income Interest income is recognised on the time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and effective interest rate applicable.
2.8	Employee benefits (i) Short-term employee benefits Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered. (ii) Post Employment benefits (a) Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Contributions paid/payable for Provident Fund of eligible employees is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss each year. (b) Defined benefit plans A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. Post employment benefits are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss for the year in which the employee has rendered services. The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.
2.9	Financial instruments Financial instruments are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. (A) Financial Assets The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The financial assets are classified in the following measurement categories: a) Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and b) Those to be measured at amortised cost. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company''s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments. (i) Amortised Cost The Company classifies its financial assets as at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met: a) The asset is held within a business model with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows, and b) The contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.

	Financial assets at amortised cost include loans receivable, trade and other receivables, and other financial assets that are held with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows. After initial measurement at fair value, the financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment.
	Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss in other income.
	(ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the asset''s cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, and interest revenue which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
	(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The Company classifies the following financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: a) Debt investments that do not qualify for measurement at amortised cost; b) Debt investments that do not qualify for measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income; and c) Debt investments that have been designated at fair value through profit or loss.
	Derecognition of financial assets The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
	(B) Financial Liabilities The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
	Classification The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
	Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Loans and borrowings, payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
	Derecognition of financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
	(C) Equity investments All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. For equity instruments, the company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
	If the company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Profit and Loss.
2.10	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks, cash on hand, cheques on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, cheques on hand and short-term deposits, as defined above.

2.11	Taxation A. Current Tax DAMAN 1 Current income tax is measured at the amount of tax expected to be payable on the taxable income for the year. B. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extend that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can 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 the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
2.12	Segment accounting The Company operates only in two segments i.e "Stock Broking" and ''Real Estate". Segment-wise disclosure as per Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 108 " Operating Segments" is disclosed in Note No 34 in the notes to the financial statement. The Company operates mainly in Indian market and there are no reportable geographical segments.
2.13	Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets A. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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. B. Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount can not be made. C. Contingent assets Contingent assets are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefit is probable. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
2.14	Statement of Cash flows Cash flow are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals of 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 finance activities of the Company are segregated.
2.15	Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
2.16	Dividend to Equity Shareholders Dividend to equity shareholders, if any, is recognised as a liability and deducted from shareholder''s equity in the period in which the dividends are approved by the equity shareholders in the general meeting.
