Debrciation of assets purchased / sold during a period is proportionately charged. The Company capitalizes software where it is reasonably estimated that the software has an enduring useful life. Software is amortised over an estimated useful life of 3years. Debrciation and amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.An asset is considered as impaired in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on Impairment of Assets, when at balance sheet date there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, exceeds it recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the asset’s net selling price and value in use).
