Basis of Accounting and brparation The financial statements are brpared under historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India. The financial statements are brpared to comply in all material respects with the Accounting Standards as brscribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') read with Rule 7 of Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and Companies Act, 1956 to the extent applicable. The Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard or amendments to the provisions of any statue which requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. b. Use of Estimates The brparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balance of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities and commitments. The management believes that the estimates used in brparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Examples of such estimates includes computation of physical proportion of work completed to the total quantum of contract work order, provisions required for doubtful debts and advances, future obligation under employee retirement benefit plans, bifurcation of assets and liabilities into current and non-current and useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets. The judgments, estimates and underlying assumptions are made with the management's best knowledge of the business environment and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. However, future results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to these accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods. c. Tangible fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated debrciation. Cost of acquisition of fixed assets is inclusive of freight, duties and taxes, the cost of installation/erection and other incidental expenses incurred to bring the asset to its brsent location and condition but exclusive of duties and taxes that are subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities. Capital Work-in-progress are stated at the amount expended up to the date of balance sheet. d. Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition of such asset and stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. e. Debrciation and Amortisation The debrciation on tangible assets is provided under the Straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets estimated by the management during the financial year 2012-13 which are different from the useful lives as brscribed in schedule -II of the Companies Act, 2013 which becomes effective from 1.4.2014. The management based on internal assessment and independent technical evaluation carried out by external valuers, believes that the useful lives given below best rebrsent the period over which the management expects to use these assets. Such estimation is made based on the past experience and working conditions in which assets are put to usage. Debrciation on assets added/sold during the year is provided on pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition or up to the date of sale, as the case may be. Intangible assets, comprising of expenditure on computer software, incurred are amortised on a straight line method over a period of five years. Debrciation and amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically at the end of each financial year. f. Impairment of Assets An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of the same exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to the Profit and Loss account in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognized in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. g. Borrowing Costs Borrowing Costs, that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use, are capitalised as part of the cost of qualifying asset when it is possible that they will result in future economic benefits and the cost can be measured reliably.
