estimation of future cash flows to be generated by the CGU requires significant judgements

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.
