the financial statements of the company. It is clearly recognised by the management that it is
inherent in the application of certain policies, judgements and estimates that they might differ
from that of the estimated by the management.

It is ensured that by the management of the company that impairment testing in
respect of the carrying value of the assets to ensure that they are not impaired. The process of
judging the impairment requires the management to conduct estimation regarding the future

which the goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite life have been allocated. The
estimation of future cash flows to be generated by the CGU requires significant judgements
like expected rate of growth of the revenues and the expenditure of the company, the margin
that is to be achieved and the share of the market that is to be achieved by the company in the
future.
Revenue recognition:

recognised only when significant risk and rewards, which come along with the ownership,

value of the sales can be ascertained with absolute surety.
Taxation accounting policy:
The amount of income tax is charged to the profit and loss account of the company. It
comprises of both current tax and deferred tax. If the amount of tax is to be recognised in
respect of an item that has been already recognised in the comprehensive income statement or
statement of equity, then the amount in respect of income tax is also recognised in the

period is arrived at by the application of the current income tax rates applicable on the
income of the current year’s taxable income. The current tax amount is adjusted for any under

For the purpose of allocation of depreciation, the management makes use of the
straight-line method of depreciation. The straight-line method depreciation is used to allocate
the cost of the asset over its useful life or in case the assets are held in lease premises, the life
of the lease is shorter. The management ensures the reviewing of the residual values of the
asset along with their remaining useful life at least on an annual basis. The current estimated
life of the various assets is as follows:

for unless they are ready for the purpose of intended use.

allocating the cost of the asset over the life of the asset. The residual life of the asset and the
remaining useful lives of the assets are reviewed by the management at least once in a year.
In case any subsequent expenditure has been undertaken to extend the useful life of
the intangible assets then the same is capitalised. All the other costs pertaining to the assets
are recognised in the profit and loss statement as and when they occur.

to it is recognised in the profit and loss account of the company corresponding to the period
in which the intangible asset is disposed of.

their fair value. The value of the borrowings includes any attributable transaction costs. After
