None of Fixed Assets have been revalued during the Year.
Depreciation on Tangible Fixed Assets has been provided on Written down Value Method over the useful lives of Assets as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation for Assets purchased/sold during a period is proportionately charged.
