The material accounting policies adopted in preparation of standalone financial statements has been disclosed in the pertinent note along with other information. All accounting policies has been consistently applied to all the periods presented in the standalone financial statements unless otherwise stated.
2 f) Key accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Company's Standalone Financial Statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 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.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. The changes in the estimates are reflected in the standalone financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the Standalone financial statements.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:
Critical accounting estimates, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Revenue Recognition : Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. The Company exercises judgment in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.
Employee retirement plans: The Company provides defined benefit employee retirement plans. Measurement of obligations under such plans require numerous assumptions and estimates that can have a significant impact on the recognized costs and obligation, such as future salary level, discount rate, attrition rate and mortality etc.
Recognition of current tax and deferred tax (including MAT credit entitlements)
The Company uses judgments based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allocation of revenue, costs, allowances, and disallowances which is exercised while determining the provision for income tax, Deferred income tax expense is calculated based on the differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax basis that are considered temporary in nature, Valuation of deferred tax assets (including MAT credit entitlement) is dependent on management's assessment of future recoverability of the deferred benefit. Expected recoverability may result from expected taxable income in the future, planned transactions or planned tax optimizing measures, Economic conditions may change and lead to a different conclusion regarding recoverability,
Useful lives of depreciable/ amortisable assets (tangible and intangible): The Company uses its technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for determining the economic life of an asset/component of an asset, The useful lives are reviewed by management periodically and revised, if appropriate, In case of a revision, the unamortised depreciable amount is charged over the remaining useful life of the assets, Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, customer relationships, IT equipment and other plant and equipment,
Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies
The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations, These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates,

Biological Assets
Tissue culture plantations: Estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of tissue culture plants relate to market prices, quality of plants, and mortality rates, The impact of discounting is not considered material as the transformation cycle is less than 6 months, Refer note No.12 (b) for details,

Initial Recognition and Subsequent Recognition
i) Amortised Cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
