(n) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The company has recognised provisions for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount including those for warranty claims,
leasehold dilapidations and legal disputes. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the obligation at the reporting date, discounted at a pre-tax rate reflecting current market assessments of
the time value of money and risks specific to the liability. In the case of leasehold dilapidations, the provision takes into

account the potential that the properties in question may be sublet for some or all of the remaining lease term.
Contingent liability is¬
a. a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company, or
b. a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because

it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
or

• it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, or

• the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

The company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence and other required disclosures
in notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote.

(o) Leases

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has all the leases which are short term having tenure of less than 12 months. The Company recognises
the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(p) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year and for all the years presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares,
other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding,
without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

(q) New standards and amendments issued but not effective

There are no such standards which are notified but not yet effective.

2C. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates are continually evaluated
based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and
assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Defined benefit plans gratuity benefits

The cost of the defined benefit plans such as gratuity are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial
valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These
include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities
involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these
assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market
yields available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. Salary
increase rate takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis.

Nature and purpose of reserves:

1. Capital Reserve: Represents capital reserve balances of acquired entities which are transferred to the Company
upon mergers in the earlier years.

2. Capital Redemption Reserve: In accordance with Section 69 of the Act, capital redemption reserve is created
equal to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an appropriation from securities premium reserve.

3. General Reserve: The Company has transferred a portion of the net profit of the Company before declaring
dividend to general reserve pursuant to the earlier provisions of Companies Act, 1956. Mandatory transfer to
general reserve is not required under the Act.

4. Securities premium: The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in securities
premium. In case of equity-settled share based payment transactions, the difference between fair value on grant
date and nominal value of share is accounted as securities premium, on exercise of options. This reserve will be
utilised in accordance with provisions of Section 52 of the Act.

5. Employee stock options outstanding account: The fair value of the equity-settled share based payment
transactions with employees is recognised in statement of profit and loss with corresponding credit to Employee
Stock Options Outstanding Account. This will be utilised for allotment of equity shares against outstanding
employee stock options.

6. Retained earnings: Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date less any transfers to
general reserve, dividends or other distribution to shareholders.

7. Foreign exchange translation reserve: Gains/losses arising on retranslating the net assets of foreign operations
into ?. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the foreign operation is disposed-off.

8. Items of other comprehensive income: Represents re-measurement of defined employee benefit plan, i.e.
Difference between the interest income on plan assets and the return actually achieved, any changes in the
liabilities over the year due to changes in actuarial assumptions or experience adjustments within the plans, are
recognised in other comprehensive income and subsequently not reclassified into Statement of profit and loss.

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

The fair value of other current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables , trade payables, and
other financial liabilities approximate the carrying amounts because of the short term nature of these financial
instruments.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired include cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, term
deposits, and other financial assets.

Similarly, carrying values of non-current security deposits and non-current term deposits are not significant and
therefore the impact of fair value is not considered for disclosure.

Fair value hierarchy

The following is the hierarchy 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 assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the
same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. The difference between carrying amounts and fair values of
bank deposits, other financial assets and other financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost is not
significant in each of the years presented. For all other amortised cost instruments, carrying value represents the best
estimate of fair value. For financial assets measured at fair values, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment, if any.

Note 35

equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and derivative
financial instruments.

financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The

minimal surplus cash in bank accounts. The Company does a proper financial and credibility check on the landlords
before taking any property on lease and hasn''t had a single instance of non-refund of security deposit on vacating
the leased property. The Company also in some cases ensure that the notice period rentals are adjusted against
the security deposits and only differential, if any, is paid out thereby further mitigating the non-realization risk. The
Company does not foresee any credit risks on deposits with regulatory authorities.

denial of cenvat credit of ?121.78, while the Company filed further appeal before CESTAT for the allowance remaining of balance cenvat credit of
?14.94. The legal consultants advised that the Company has a strong case to be allowed the Cenvat credit of ?121.78 (Department appeal). Hence,

In assessing the reliability of deferred income tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the Company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

(All amounts are in INR Lakhs, except for share data and where otherwise stated)

The fair value of other current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables , trade payables, and other financial liabilities approximate the carrying amounts because of the short term nature of these financial instruments.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired include cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, term deposits, and other financial assets.

Similarly, carrying values of non-current security deposits and non-current term deposits are not significant and therefore the impact of fair value is not considered for disclosure.

Fair value hierarchy

The following is the hierarchy 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 assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. The difference between carrying amounts and fair values of bank deposits, other financial assets and other financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost is not significant in each of the years presented. For all other amortised cost instruments, carrying value represents the best estimate of fair value.For financial assets measured at fair values, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. Difference between carrying amounts and fair values of bank deposits, other financial assets and other financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost is not significant in each of the years presented. For all other amortised cost instruments, carrying value represents the best estimate of fair value. For financial assets measured at fair values, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
