d. Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions and contingencies are based on theManagement’s best estimate of the liabilitiesbased on the facts known at the balance sheetdate.
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historicalcost net of accumulated depreciation andaccumulated impairment loss, if any. Historical costincludes expenditure that are directly attributable tothe acquisition of the items, including borrowingcosts in case of qualifying assets.
Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal ofproperty, plant and equipment are recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
All other expenses for repairs and maintenanceare charged to the Statement of Profit and Lossduring the period in which these are incurred.
Subsequent Measurement
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carryingamount or recognised as a separate asset,as appropriate, only when it is probable that futureeconomic benefits associated with the item will flowto the Company and the cost of the item can bemeasured reliably.
Depreciation Method, Estimated Useful Livesand Residual Values
Depreciation is calculated on pro-rata basis usingthe straight-line method to allocate their cost, net oftheir estimated residual value, over their estimateduseful lives.
The useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipmenthave been determined based on the useful livesprescribed under Schedule II to the CompaniesAct, 2013.
Leasehold land is depreciated on a straight-linebasis over the lease term in accordance with Ind AS116. Considering the immateriality of the leasepayments associated with such leasehold land, nomaterial impact arises on the recognition andmeasurement of the related right-of-use asset andlease liability.
An asset’s carrying amount is written downimmediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’scarrying amount is greater than its estimatedrecoverable amount. The residual values and usefullives of property, plant and equipment are reviewedat each financial year end and adjusted prospectively,if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment isde-recognised upon disposal or when no futureeconomic benefits are expected to arise from thecontinued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arisingon the disposal or retirement of an item of property,plant and equipment is determined as the differencebetween net disposal proceeds and the carryingamount of the asset and is recognised in theStatement of Profit & Loss.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property,plant and equipment outstanding at each BalanceSheet date is classified as ‘Capital Advances’ under‘Other Non-current Assets'.
4. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETSAccounting Policy:
Intangible assets having finite useful lives arestated at cost less accumulated amortisationand accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Gains or losses arising fromde-recognition of an intangible asset, measured asthe difference between the net disposal proceedsand the carrying amount of the asset are recognisedin the statement of profit and loss when the asset isderecognised. Intangible assets with indefinite usefullives and intangible assets not yet available for useare tested for impairment annually, and wheneverthere is an indication that the asset may be impaired,impairment loss is recognised in the statement ofprofit & loss.
Computer software
Computer software acquired for internal use, primarilyfrom third-party vendors, is capitalised as an
intangible asset when it is probable that futureeconomic benefits attributable to the asset will flowto the Company and the cost of the asset can bemeasured reliably. Cost of computer software includespurchase price, license fees, implementation andsystem integration costs, and other directlyattributable expenditure incurred to bring the assetto its intended use.
Subsequent expenditure relating to computersoftware is capitalised only when it increasesthe future economic benefits from the specificasset beyond its originally assessed standard ofperformance.
Computer software is amortised on a straight-linebasis over its estimated useful life of 5 yearsfrom the date the software is available for use.
Patents
Patent is recognised at cost together with incidentalexpenses. The amortisation is made on straight linemethod every year based on the estimated usefullife as per Patent Certificate.
Note : 3A Capital-Work-In Progress Ageing ScheduleAccounting Policy:
Capital work-in-progress comprises of assets in the course of construction for production or/and supply ofgoods or services or administrative purposes, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss.

Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortisedcost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as throughthe EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees orcosts that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statementof Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled orexpires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantiallydifferent terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modificationis treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The differencein the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
Note 16 : Non-Current Provisions
Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a pastevent and it is probable that it is required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made ofthe amount of the obligation.

Note 17 : Deferred TaxAccounting Policy:

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will beavailable against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of eachreporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will berealised.
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisionsof contract with the customer. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to thecustomer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, risk of obsolescence and loss pass to thecustomer and the Company has the present right to payment, all of which occurs at a point in time uponshipment or delivery of the product.
“Performance Obligation is achieved when :
i) the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
ii) the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated withownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
iii) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
iv) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
v) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.’’ Revenuetowards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (netof variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods soldand services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemesoffered by the Company as part of the contract. Shipping and handling amounts invoiced to customersare included in revenue and the related shipping and handling costs incurred are included in freight andforwarding expenses when the Company is acting as principal in the shipping and handling arrangement.No element of significant financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term, whichis consistent with market practice.

Note 33 : Earnings Per ShareAccounting Policy :
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equityshareholders by the weighted average number of equities shares outstanding during the year. The weightedaverage number of equities shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue,bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that havechanged the number of equities shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For thepurpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equityshareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted forthe effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
