(d) Claims, Provisions, Contingent assets and Liabilities:
Claims lodged by and lodged against the Company are accounted in the period of payment or settlement thereof.
Provisions are recognised when, as a result of a past event, the Company has a legal or constructive obligation; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. The amount so recognised is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
In an event when the time value of money is material, the provision is carried at the present value of the cash flows estimated to settle the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements, after careful evaluation by the management of the facts and legal aspects of each matter involved. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Contingent liabilities are assessed continually to determine whether an outflow of resources embodying the economic benefit has become probable. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item previously dealt with as contingent liability, a provision is recognised in the financial statements of the period in which the change in probability occurs.
(e) Recognition of revenue and expenditure
(i) Revenue is recognised to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on the behalf of the government.
Revenue is recognised in the period in which the services are rendered and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and recovery of the consideration is probable.
(ii) Interest and dividend income
Interest income is recognised using Effective Interest Method (EIR).
EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of financial instruments or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the asset or to the amortised cost of financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for the future tax consequences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances related to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

ii) Risk management
The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages those risks.
A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed only by accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits. Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes loans to employees, security deposits and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system in place ensures the amounts are within defined limits.
Credit risk management: The Company assesses and manages credit risk of financial assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
a) Low credit risk
b) Moderate credit risk
c) High credit risk
Credit risk exposures: The Company’s trade receivables does not have any expected credit loss as they are generally within the credit period. In case of non recoverability in extreme cases, the Company, accordingly, provides for the same in its books of account instead of writing it off permanently.
B) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the business, the Company maintains adequate liquidity for meeting its obligations by monitoring the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows from the operations.
C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of changes in the market prices on account of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and Commodity prices, which shall affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimising the returns. a) Currency risk
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which are subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, except the Company’s net investments in foreign operations (with a functional currency other than Indian Rupee), are subject to reinstatement risks.
b) Interest risk
i) Assets: The Company’s fixed deposits are carried at fixed rate and interest rate on loan given to subsidiary company is also fixed. Therefore, they are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107 issued by “the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India" since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
ii) Liabilities: The Company does not have any borrowings from the market and therefore, it is not subject to interest rate risk.
