1.12 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. The amount recognized 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.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized and are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or when there is a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the same or a reliable estimate of the amount in this respect cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed in the Financial Statements by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

1.14 Recent Indian Accounting Standards
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) vide notification dated March 31,2023, has made the following amendments to Ind AS which are effective 1st April 2023:
Ind AS 101 - Presentation of Financial Statements
This amendment requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors -
This amendment has introduced a definition of ‘accounting estimates’ and included amendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes -
This amendment has narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences
Based on preliminary assessment, the Company does not expect these amendments to have any significant impact on its financial statements.
