SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & NOTES :
1 Basis Of Preparation of Financial Statements
These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) to
comply with the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014
and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act"). The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical
cost convention.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of standalone financial statements are consistent with those of the previous year. All assets and
liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the
Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash
equivalents, the Company ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
2 Use Of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
3 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original
maturity of three months or less.
4 Taxes on Income
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance
with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the company operates. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred Income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting Income originating during the current year and
reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In
situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual
certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.
At each reporting date, the company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that
it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred
tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Thecompany writes-downthe carryingamount ofdeferred tax asset
to theextent thatit is nolonger reasonably certain or virtuallycertain as the casemaybe that sufficientfuture taxable income will be available against
which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain as the case
may be that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and
the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessery for it to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by the Management. Financing costs relating to acquisition of assets which take substantial period of time
to get ready for intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period up to the time such assets are ready for their intended use.

carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

prospectively, if appropriate.
