NOTE 1: Significant Accounting Policies
i Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis. GAAP comprises mandatory Accounting Standards as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified). Accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard required a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. As per MCA Notification dated 16th February 2015, the companies whose shares are listed on SME exchange are exempted from the compulsory requirement of adoption of Ind AS. As the company is covered under exempted from the compulsory requirement of adoption of Ind AS, the company has not adopted Ind AS.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services and the time between the rendering of service and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
All monetary values in the financial statements are presented in INR in Lakhs, except where otherwise indicated. Quantitative disclosures relating to equity share capital are stated in number of shares.
ii Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which actual the results are known or materialized.
iii Going Concern Assumption
The Management believes that the Company would be in a position to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and may meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption.
iv Revenue recognition
a) Service charges
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of products or services to customers for the consideration which the Company agreed to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, discounts and volume rebates and tax collected from customers.
Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognised using percentage-of-completion method. The revenue recognized under this method would be determined on the basis of contract value, associated costs, number of activities or other suitable basis. Further, revenue is ascertained only if , no significant uncertainty exists about the collection of amount of service charges for the performed activities.
The Company exercises judgement for identification of performance obligations, determination of transaction price, ascribing the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation and in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.
Revenue related to fixed price maintenance and support services contracts where the Company is standing ready to provide services is recognised based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight-lined over the period of performance.
The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Invoices are billed as per the contract terms and income recognized in excess of billed amounts is booked as a current asset under "Unbilled revenue / contract assets" and billed amounts to clients in excess of income recognized to date are booked as a current liability under "advance billings on contracts."
Expenses which are incurred but billing cannot be done due to the contract terms, such expenses are booked under current assets under "deferred contract cost" as per the matching concept under generally accepted revenue recognition policy.
b) Interest Income
Interest income is recognized on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable effective interest rate. Interest income is included under the head "Interest Income" in the statement of profit & loss.
c) Dividends
Dividends income is recognized when the company's right to receive dividend is established. v Income Tax
Current tax is determined on the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that they will be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation 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 realised.
vi Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. The Company provided depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment on written down value method over the useful life of assets as prescribed under schedule II of Companies Act, 2013 or as estimated by the management, taking into account the nature of the asset on technical advice and estimated usage of the asset and past history of the replacement. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by the management.
The estimated useful lives of assets and Depreciation method are as follows:
Assets Useful Life Method
Computer 3 years Written Down Value
Furniture and Fixture 10 years Written Down Value
Office Equipment 5 years Written Down Value
Depreciation on addition to Property, Plant & Equipment is provided on pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition. Depreciation on sale/deduction from Property, Plant & Equipment is provided up to the date preceding the date of sale, deduction as the case may be. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in Statement of Profit and Loss.
vii Impairment of Asset :
The carrying amounts of the Company's assets including intangible assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. In the opinion of the management, if any such indications exist, the assets recoverable amount is estimated, as the higher of the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. If at the Balance Sheet date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reinstated at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.
viii Intangible Asset
Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Company are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
1) It is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use
2) There is an ability to use or sell the software
3) Directly attributable employee costs that are capitalized as part of the software and other related cost, if any which can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets are amortised on written down value basis over the estimated useful economic life. Amortization on addition to intangible assets is provided on pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition/capitalisation.
Assets Useful Life
Software 7 years
Based on the technical assessment of useful life, intangible assets are being amortised as per the management assessment to the estimated useful lives as are realistic and can reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.
ix Investments

The cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method and the Gratuity Liability is computed as per actuarial valuation. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. The Company has created a Trust with respect to establishment of Funded Group Gratuity (cash accumulation) Scheme through PNB MetLife. Contribution is made to such fund based on regular intervals.
xi Borrowing Cost:
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
