2. Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis in compliance with all material aspects of the Accounting Standards (AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements 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 until now (hitherto) in use with those of previous year.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle, and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of business and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
b. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment Tangible assets
Tangible assets, capital work in progress is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation, revaluation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price, borrowing costs, if capitalization criteria are met and any cost attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use which includes taxes, freight, and installation and allocated incidental expenditure during construction/ acquisition and exclusive Input tax credit (IGST/CGST and SGST) or other tax credit available to the Company.
When parts of an item of tangible assets have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure relating to tangible assets is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
list i \%
An item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible assets
An intangible asset is recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and where its cost can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any cost attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use which includes taxes, freight, and installation and allocated incidental expenditure during development / acquisition and exclusive of Input tax credit (IGST/CGST and SGST) or other tax credit available to the Company.

The Company has adopted Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 which requires identification and determination of separate useful life for each major component of the property, plant and equipment, if they have useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset. (Component Accounting).
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful life, or the remaining period of lease from the date of capitalization, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation on addition to tangible assets is provided on pro-rata basis from the date the assets are ready for intended use. Depreciation on sale/discard from tangible assets is provided for up to the date of sale, deduction or discard of tangible assets as the case may be.
The useful life, residual value and the depreciation method are reviewed at least at each year end. If the expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
e. Impairment of Assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets' net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
After impairment, depreciation/amortization is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
f. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized as expenditure in the period in which they are incurred.
g. Foreign currency translation Initial recognition:

l. Leases
As a Lessee:
Finance leases, which effectively transfers to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
recognized as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Lease management fees. Legal charges
and other initial direct costs of lease are capitalized.
A leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset assessed by the management (or the useful life envisaged in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, whichever is lower). However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain the ownership by the
end of the lease term, the capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset (the lease term or the useful life envisaged in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013).
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
