GAAP comprises accounting standards notified by the Central Government of India under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, other pronouncements of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the provisions of Companies Act, 2013. Accounting policies have been consistently applied and management evaluates all recently issued or revised accounting standards on an ongoing basis. The brparation of financial statements in conformity with the Indian GAAP requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements, the reporting amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as on the date of financial statements. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes different from the estimates. Difference between actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known or materialize. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods. c) Fixed Assets and debrciation Fixed Assets are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated debrciation. The cost of fixed assets includes non - refundable taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of those fixed assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized. Debrciation on Fixed Assets have been charged based on the useful life, in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Scrap @ 5% of original cost has been considered. Debrciation is calculated on a pro- rata basis from the date of installation till the date the assets are sold or disposed. Individual assets costing less than Rs.5, 000 are debrciated in full in the year of acquisition. Freehold land is not debrciated. d) Expenditure during construction period Expenditure during construction period is grouped under "Capital Work In Progress" and the same is allocated to the respective Fixed Assets on the completion of its construction. ent of asse The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, impairment provision is created to bring down the carrying value to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If at the Balance Sheet date, there is an indication that if a brviously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the impairment provision created earlier is reversed to bring it at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of debrciated historical cost. Revenue recognition Sales are recognized on dispatch of goods to customers and include excise duty but exclude returns and taxes on sales collected from the customers on behalf of the government. Internal consumption of the company's products, which are otherwise marketable, is accounted for at transfer price and is included under sales. Dividend income is recognized when the unconditional right to receive the income is established. Income from interest on deposits and loans is recognized on the time proportionate method. Insurance Claims are being recognized on receipt basis. g) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates brvailing on the date of the transaction and exchange differences arising from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the profit and loss account but capitalized where they relate to fixed assets. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date and resultant gain or loss is recognized in the profit and loss account. Exchange difference, resulting from the difference due to exchange fluctuations of foreign currency assets and liabilities, is disclosed as foreign currency exchange adjustment. h) Investments Investments are either classified as current or long term. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value. Long term investments are carried at cost less any permanent diminution in value, determined separately for each individual investment. The reduction in the carrying amount is reversed when there is a rise in the value of the investment or if the reasons for the reduction no longer exist. i) Inventories Inventories including work-in-progress are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventory comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their brsent location and condition.

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment. The company has taken a master policy with Life Insurance Corporation of India under group gratuity scheme. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation as of the balance sheet date, based upon which, the Company contributes all the ascertained liabilities to the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

Current tax The current charge for income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to the company. Deferred tax Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the tax effects due to timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed debrciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized. Minimum alternate tax credit MAT credit entitlement rebrsents the amounts paid in a year under Section 115JB of the Income Tax Act 1961 (IT Act) which is in excess of the tax payable, computed on the basis of normal provisions of the IT Act. Such excess amount can be carried forward to set off in future periods in accordance with the relevant provisions of the IT Act. Since such credit rebrsents a resource controlled by the Company as a result of past events and there is evidence as at the reporting date that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, when such credit would be adjusted, the same has been disclosed as "MAT credit entitlement", in the balance sheet with a corresponding credit to the profit and loss account, as a separate line item. l) Earnings per share The basic earnings per share ('EPS') is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit after tax for the year and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. m) Provisions and contingent liabilities The Company creates a provision where there is a brsent obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a brsent obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is possible obligation or a brsent obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. n) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs attributable to the qualifying fixed assets during construction, renovation and modernization are capitalized.
