1.4.2.4. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as right of way which is perpetual and absolute in nature, are not
amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The useful lives are reviewed at each period to determine whether
events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment for that asset. If not, the change
in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. The impairment losses on intangible assets with
indefinite life is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.4.2.5. Expenditure incurred for creating/acquiring other intangible assets above threshold limit from which future economic
benefits will flow over a period of time, is amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset or five years, whichever
is lower, on a straight-line basis, from the time the intangible asset starts providing the economic benefit. In other
cases, the expenditure is reflected in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite life are reviewed at each
year end. The amortization expense on intangible asset with finite useful lives and impairment losses in case there
is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.4.2.6. The Corporation has elected to use the exemption available under Ind AS 101 to continue the carrying value for all

of time in exchange for consideration.

Corporation shall reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

1.8.1. As a Lessee

At the commencement date, corporation recognizes a right-of-use asset at cost and a lease liability at present value
of the lease payments that are not paid at commencement date.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability (at
present value) adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any
initial direct costs less any lease incentives (at present value) except for leases with a term of twelve months or less
(short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Corporation recognizes the
lease payments as an operating expense. Lease of items such as IT Assets (tablets, personal computers, mobiles,
POS machines etc.), small items of office furniture etc. are treated as low value.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are
discounted using the Corporation's incremental borrowing rate computed on periodic basis based on lease term.
Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Corporation
changes its assessment, whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term on systematic basis and Interest on lease liability is charged
to Statement of Profit and Loss as Finance cost.

at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

1.8.2.2. Operating leases

A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an underlying asset.

Corporation shall recognize lease payments from operating leases as income on systematic basis in the pattern in
which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished.

1.9. Impairment of Non-financial Assets

1.9.1. Non-financial assets other than inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets classified as held for sale
are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Corporation estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's or Cash-Generating Unit's (CGU) fair value
less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset
does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

1.9.2. The carrying amount of Goodwill arising from business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

1.9.3. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and
is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.10. Inventories

1.10.1. Inventories are stated at cost and net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost of inventories comprises of expenditure

incurred in the normal course of business in bringing inventories to their present location including appropriate

except where liability to pay duty is transferred to consignee.

1.10.3. Excise duty on finished stocks lying at manufacturing locations is provided for at the assessable value applicable at
each of the locations based on end use.

1.10.4. The net realizable value of finished goods and stock in trade are based on the inter-company transfer prices and
final selling prices (applicable at the location of stock) for sale to oil marketing companies and retail consumers
respectively. For the purpose of stock valuation, the proportion of sales to oil marketing companies and retail
consumers are determined on all India basis and considered for stock valuation at all locations.

1.10.5. Raw Materials held for use in the production of finished goods are not written down below cost except in cases
where raw material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of the finished goods will exceed their net
realizable value.

1.10.6. Obsolete, slow moving, surplus and defective stocks are identified at the time of physical verification of stocks and
where necessary, provision is made for such stocks.

1.11. Revenue Recognition

1.11.1. Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied by
transferring the related goods to the customer. The performance obligation is considered to be satisfied when the
customer obtains control of the goods.

Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise duty and is measured at the transaction price received or receivable
(after including transaction price allocations related to arrangements involving more than one performance
obligation), net of returns, taxes or duties collected on behalf of the Government and applicable trade discounts
or rebates.

Revenue is allocated between loyalty programmes and other components of the sale. The amount allocated to the
loyalty programme is deferred and is recognized as revenue when the Corporation has fulfilled its obligation to supply
the products under the terms of the programme.

Any upfront fees earned by the Corporation with no identifiable performance obligation are recognized as revenue
on a systematic basis over the period of the Contract.

Where the Corporation acts as an agent on behalf of a third party, the associated income is recognized on a net basis.

Claims in respect of subsidy on LPG and SKO, from Government of India are booked on in-principle acceptance
thereof on the basis of available instructions/clarifications, subject to final adjustments as stipulated.

1.11.2. Interest income is recognized using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.

1.11.3. Dividend is recognized when right to receive the payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits
associated with the dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

1.11.4. Income from sale of scrap is accounted for on realization.

1.11.5. Claims other than subsidy claims on LPG and SKO, from Government of India are booked when there is a reasonable
certainty of recovery.

1.12. Classification of Income/Expense

1.12.1. Income/expenditure (net) in aggregate pertaining to prior year(s) above the threshold limit are corrected
retrospectively in the first set of Financial Statements approved for issue after their discovery by restating the
comparative amounts and/or restating the opening Balance Sheet for the earliest prior period presented.

1.12.2. Prepaid expenses upto threshold limit in each case, are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

1.12.3. Deposits placed with Government agencies/local authorities which are perpetual in nature are charged to Statement
of Profit and Loss in the year of payment.

1.13. Employee Benefits

1.13.1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit
and Loss of the year in which the related services are rendered.

1.13.2. Post-employment benefits

Defined Contribution Plans:

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans such as pension are recognized as an expense in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to
the extent that a cash refund or a set-off in future payments is available.

Defined Benefit Plans:

The Corporation's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans such as gratuity, other post-employment benefits
etc., is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have earned
in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed at each reporting period end by a qualified actuary
using the Projected Unit Credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Corporation, the
recognized asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds
from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as part of
employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service
in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognized immediately
in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance
of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This net interest is included in employee benefit
expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Re-measurements which comprise of actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding amounts included in the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)), are recognized in Other
Comprehensive Income.

1.13.3. Other long-term employee benefits

Liability towards other long term employee benefits - leave encashment and long service awards etc., are determined
on actuarial valuation by qualified actuary by using Projected Unit Credit method.

The current service cost of other long terms employee benefits, recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as part
of employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the obligation resulting from employee service in the current
year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognized immediately in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. The interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the balance of the obligation. This
cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Re-measurements are recognized
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.14. Foreign Currency Transactions

1.14.1. Monetary items:

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective exchange rates at the date the transaction
first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the
reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items (except for long-term foreign currency
monetary items outstanding as of March 31, 2016) are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss either as profit or
loss on foreign currency transaction and translation or as borrowing costs to the extent regarded as an adjustment
to borrowing costs.

The Corporation has elected to continue the policy adopted under Previous GAAP for accounting the foreign
exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items outstanding
as of March 31, 2016 i.e. foreign exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of long-term foreign
currency monetary items relating to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted to the carrying cost of the assets
and depreciated over the balance life of the asset and in other cases, if any, accumulated in "Foreign Currency
Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" and amortized over the balance period of the liability.

1.14.2. Non - Monetary items:

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

1.15. Investment in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates

Investments in equity shares of Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates are recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment
at each reporting date.

1.16. Government Grants

1.16.1. Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all
attached conditions will be complied with.

1.16.2. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over
the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.

1.16.3. Government grants relating to Property, Plant and Equipment are presented as deferred income and are credited to
the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset.
