f Impairment of assets
As at Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired and if any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit, to which the asset belongs, is less than its carrying value, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. An assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss, no longer exists or may have decreased, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss. After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the depreciation charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less its residual value (if any), on method of depreciation followed for the assets concerned over its remaining useful life. During the year, Company has not recognised impairment loss.
