2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
(a) Property, Plant and Equipment:
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of Property, plant and equipment are shown at cost,
less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its cost of acquisition inclusive of inward freight, import duties, and other nonrefundable taxes or levies and any cost directly attributable to the acquisition / construction of those items; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the cost of acquisition.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to statement of profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Gain or losses arising on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Capital Work in Progress
Property, plant and equipment under construction are disclosed as capital work in progress.
(c) Depreciation and amortisation:
Depreciation has been provided based on useful life assigned to each asset in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The useful life of major components of property, plant and equipments is as follows.
Factory Building: 30 Years Plant and Machinery: 15 Years Vehicles: 8 Years Office Equipments: 5Years Computers: 3 Years Furniture & Fixture: 10Years Softwares: 3Years
(d) Impairment of assets
At the date of balance sheet, if there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use), an impairment loss is recognised. The carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss in the profit or loss. The impairment loss recognised in the prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. Post impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying value of the impaired asset over its remaining useful life.
Reasonable assumptions are made by the management in estimating the value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal. Management has considered the indicators required for impairment testing and estimated reliably that there is no impairment loss for the purpose of Ind AS 36 and AS 28.
(e) Inventories:
The cost of various categories of inventory is determined as follows:
Cost of raw material and packing materials are determined using first in first out (FIFO) method.

The actuarial method used for measuring the liability is the Projected Unit Credit Method.
