Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established.
(d) Taxes
Current tax represents the amount payable based on computation of tax as per prevailing taxation laws under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Provision for deferred taxation is made using liability method on temporary difference arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Tangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises of purchase cost, borrowing cost, if capitalised, and other directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for intended use. Any trade discount and rebate are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent acquisition of these assets, are stated at cost of acquisition together with any incidental expenses related to acquisition and appropriate borrowing costs. An impairment loss is recognized where applicable, when the carrying value of tangible assets of cash generating unit exceed its market value or value in use, whichever is higher.
NOTE-2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management. The management believes that these estimated useful life are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used. These useful lives are different in some cases than those indicated in Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013, which are disclosed below.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Useful Life of Property, Plant & Equipment considered are as follows:-
1. Freehold Land - Unlimited
2. Building & Structures - 50-99 Years
3. Leasehold Improvements - 3-5 Years
4. Computers - 3-6 Years
5. Furniture and Fixtures - 5 Years
6. Office Equipment - 3-5 Years
7. Vehicle - 5 Years
(f) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets comprising Computer Software are expected to provide future enduring economic benefits are stated at cost of acquisition / implementation / development less accumulated amortisation. An impairment loss is recognized where applicable, when the carrying value of intangible assets of cash generating unit exceed its market value or value in use, whichever is higher.
Software purchased together with the related hardware is capitalized and depreciated at the rates applicable to related assets.
Software product development costs are expensed as incurred during the research phase until technological feasibility is established. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the achievement of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the products as determined by the management. This capitalization is done only if there is an intention and ability to complete the product, the product is likely to generate future economic benefits, adequate resources to complete the product are available and such expenses can be accurately measured. Such software development costs comprise expenditure that can be directly attributed, or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis, to the development of the product.
Cost of intangible assets are amortised over its estimated useful life based on managements’ external or internal assessment. Management believes that the useful lives so determined best represent the period over which the management expects to use these assets. The useful life is reviewed at the end of each reporting period for any changes in the estimates of useful life and, accordingly, the asset is amortized over the remaining useful life. Useful life is considered in between 3-6 years.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks, on hand and deposits with original maturity of 3 months or less.
For the purpose of presentation in the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of balances as defined above.
(h) Financial Assets
The financial assets are classified in the following categories:
1. Financial assets measured at amortised cost,
2. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss,
3. Financial assets measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income and,
4. Equity Instruments
The classification of financial assets depends on the Company's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flow.
Initial Recognition:
At initial recognition, the financial assets are measured at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Financial Assets measured at Amortised Cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Instruments measured at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL)
Financial instruments included within fair value through profit and loss category are measured initially as well as at each reporting period at fair value plus transaction costs as applicable. Fair value movements are recorded
NOTE-2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD.)
in Statement of Profit and Loss. Investments in mutual funds are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial Instruments measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
Financial instruments included within fair value through other comprehensive income category are measured initially as well as at each reporting period at fair value plus transaction costs as applicable. Fair value movements are recorded under Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Equity Instruments
Equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value.
At initial recognition, the Company make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI.
Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures are carried at cost less provision for impairment loss, if any.
Investments are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables the simplified approach of expected lifetime losses has been recognised from initial recognition of the receivables as required by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments.
(i) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amount approximates fair value to short-term maturity of these instruments.
A financial liability (or a part of financial liability) is de-recognised from Company's balance sheet when obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
(j) Employee Benefits
Short- term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
Contributions to Provident Fund are accounted for on accrual basis.
The Company, as per its schemes, extend employee benefits current and/or post retirement, which are accounted for on accrual basis and includes actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date in respect of gratuity, leave encashment and certain other retiral benefits, to the extent applicable, made by independent actuary.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability, are recognized immediately in Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur.
Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss:
(i) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
(ii) Net interest expense or income.
The current and non-current bifurcation has been done as per the Actuarial report.
(k) Earnings per Share
(i) Basic earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
a) The profit attributable to owners of the Company
b) by the weighted average number of equity shares to be issued during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in their determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
a) the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
b) the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(l) Leases
As a Lessee:
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of -use asset (""ROU"") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short term lease) and low value assets. For these, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
