returns, trade allowances, rebates, discounts, loyalty discount.

Income from Services

measurability or collect ability.

In instances where fees are received during a term, revenue is recognized on a proportionate basis for the period which
falls under the current reporting period and the balance is shown as advance fees received.

are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset''s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash¬
generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower
of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from
employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from
this requirement.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other
expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal Company classified as held for sale continue to be recognized.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts, option contracts and cross currency swaps, to hedge its
foreign currency risks are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured at their fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in
the period when they arise.

Segment Reporting:

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker.

Borrowings:

Borrowings are initially recognized at net of transaction costs incurred and measured at amortized cost. Any difference
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividend on
these preference shares is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.

Taxes on income

Tax expense comprises of both current and deferred taxes. The current charge for income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized 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. Deferred tax assets are recognized on carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realized against future taxable profits.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and recognized to the extent that it has become reasonably certain/virtually certain that future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

In case of insufficient balances in the Securities Premium Account, unadjusted share issue expenses are amortized over a period of 5 years. In case, there arising a securities premium balance subsequently, unadjusted share issue expenses would not be amortized but will be adjusted against the Securities Premium Account.

Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effect of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities are segregated.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are 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.

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

Recent accounting pronouncements

Appendix B to Ind AS21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration On March 28, 2018 Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“”MCA””) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency.

“The amendment will come into force from 1 April 2018. The company is evaluating the requirement of the amendment and the impact on the financial statements. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 21 is expected to be insignificant.”

Ind AS 115

In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment rules, 2018 (amended rules). As per the amended rules, Ind AS 115 “Revenue from contracts with customers” supersedes Ind AS 11, “Construction contracts” and Ind AS 18, “Revenue” and is applicable for all accounting periods commencing on or after 1 April 2018.

Ind AS 115 introduces a new framework of five step model for the analysis of revenue transactions. The model specifies that revenue should be recognized when (or as) an entity transfer control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity''s contracts with the customers. The new revenue standard is applicable to the Company from 1 April 2018.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach)

“The Company is evaluating the requirement of the amendment and the impact on the financial statements. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 is expected to be insignificant.”

Critical estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which by definition will seldom equal the actual results.

Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group''s accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

The recoverable amount of the assets is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.

j. Leases

Where the Company is the lessee

Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss Account.

k. Taxes on income

Ta x expense comprises both current and deferred taxes. The current charge for income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 realised. Deferred tax assets are recognised on carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised against future taxable profits.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and recognised to the extent that it has become reasonably certain/virtually certain that future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

MAT credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified future period.
