1. Significant Accounting Policies:
1.1. Compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
The Company's Financial statements have been prepared to comply with generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (herein after referred to as "Ind AS") as notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act") read with rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendments rules 2016.
1.2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements
The Financial statements are prepared on accrual basis following the historical cost convention except in case of certain financial instruments which are measured atfairvalues. The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed under Schedule III to the Act. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) - 7 on "Statement of Cash Flows". The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Ind AS and the Listing Agreement. Further, the guidance notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also considered, wherever applicable except to the extent where compliance with other statutory promulgations viz. SEBI guidelines override the same requiring a different treatment. Accounting Policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy used previously.
Fair value for measurement adopted in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, Net Realizable value as per Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36. Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or Liability.
1.3. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets and liabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as on the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company evaluates these estimations and assumptions on a continuous basis based on the historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events believed to be reasonable. Examples of such estimates include the useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets, allowance for doubtful debts/ advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans, estimation of costs as a proportion to the total costs, etc., Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognized in the period in which the results are known/materialized. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and if material, are disclosed in the Notes to Account.
1.4 Inventories
(a) Raw materials, Stock-in-trade, Stores and Spares and Consumables are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a First-in-First out basis and Cost includes applicable taxes, duties, transport and handling costs.
(b) Finished goods are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is average cost and includes all material costs, direct and indirect expenditure.
(c) Work-in-progress is valued at lower of cost up to estimated stage of process and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
(d) By-products are valued at estimated net realisable value as the cost is not ascertainable.
1.5 Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method. Under the indirect method, whereby the profit before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of:
i. transactions of a non-cash nature; and
ii. any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments.
Items of income or expense associated from investing or financing cash flows of the company are segregated based on the available information.
Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) are reflected as such in the Statement of Cash Flows.
Cash and cash equivalents, comprise cash on hand, balances in current, Cheque-on-hand pending to be presented in Bank and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.6 Depreciation and amortization
In respect of Property, Plant and Equipment (other than Land and Capital Work in Progress) depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the useful lives as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013.
Software is amortised over a period of 3 years.
Individual assets costing less than ? 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition. The Company has elected to consider the carrying values for all property, plant and equipment as deemed cost at the date of the transition i.e on 01 st April, 2016.
1.7 Revenue Recognition :
i Revenue from Operations
(a) Sale of products
Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation thereon. Expenditure which are capital in nature are capitalized at cost,
which comprise of purchase price (net of rebates and discounts), import duties, levies, financing costs and all other expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Freehold land is not depreciated.
An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
(b) Capital Work in Progress :
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company's accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

1.10 Employee Benefits
Liability for employee benefits, both short and long term, for present and past service which are due as per the terms of employment are recorded in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 19 "Employee Benefits" issued by the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015. Re-measurement gains/losses on post-employment defined benefits comprising gains/ losses is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which it arises.
Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
i Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements); i net interest expense or income; and i Re-measurement
The company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'Employee benefits expense'.
Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
(a) Gratuity
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service.
(b) Provident Fund
In accordance with applicable local laws, eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, a defined contribution plan to which both the employee and employer contributes monthly at a determined rate (currently up to 12% of an employee's salary). These contributions are either made to the respective Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, or the Central Provident Fund under the State Pension Scheme, and are recognized as expenses incurred.
(c) Compensated absences
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation based on the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised in the period in which the absences occur.
1.11 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
1.12 Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. There are no leases entered by the company.
1.13 Segment reporting
The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organization and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company.
a Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.
1 Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors, i Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities".
1.14 Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its equity shares. The basic earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated by dividing the profit/ (loss) aftertax by the weighted average number of Equity Shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net profits for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed to be converted as of the beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
1.15 Taxes on Income
(a) Current Tax
Provision for Current tax is made based on the liability computed in accordance with the relevant tax rates and provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 as at the balance sheet date and any adjustments to taxes in respect of the previous years, penalties if any related to income tax are included in the current tax expense.
(b) Minimum Alternate Tax
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustmentto future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
(c) Deferred Tax
Deferred Tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainly that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such Deferred Tax Assets can be realized.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
1.16 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
As at each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that a non-t'inancial asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognized in the previous periods. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined:
• In case of an individual asset, at the higher of the Assets' fair value less cost to sell and value in use; and
• In case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
• In assessing Value in Use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specified with the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transaction can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). For such properties, the impairment is recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.17 Financial Instruments
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (other than Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
1.18 Financial Assets
Financial Asset is any Asset that is -
(a) Cash
(b) Equity Instrument of another Entity,
(c) Contractual right to -
i. receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or
ii. exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the Entity.
(d) a contract that will or may be settled in the entity's own equity instruments and is:
i. a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments; or
ii. a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the expected credit loss ("ECL") model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently held at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the profit and loss account. Interest bearing bank loans are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
De-recognition of Financial Instruments
A Financial Asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards or the right to receive the cash flows under a contractual arrangement or has transferred the asset.
A Financial Liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. In the case where the existing liability is replaced by another liability either from the same lender or otherwise such an exchange is treated as de-recognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. Any change in the carrying amount of a liability is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.19 Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources to settle the obligation in respect of which reliable estimate can be made as on the balance sheet date. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent Liabilities are present obligations arising from a past event, when it is not probable / probability is remote that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and they are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes.
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements except where it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefit will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in financial statements of the period in which the change occurs Provisions for Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at the end of Balance Sheet date.
1.20 Operating cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
1.21 Exceptional items
Items of income and expenditure within profit and loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such items are disclosed separately as Exceptional Items.
1.22 Commitments
(a) Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure.
(b) Commitments are classified and disclosed as follows:
• Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
• Uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;
• Funding related commitment to subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies and
• Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management.
(c) Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details.
