Provisions are recognised when the Company has
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using a current
pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. When discounting is used,
the increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognised as a finance cost.
Disclosure of contingent liability is made 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 a present obligation that arises
from past events where it is either not probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle or a reliable
estimate of amount cannot be made.
i) Short-Term Employee Benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognised as
an expense during the period when the employees
render the services.
a) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company recognises contribution payable to
the provident fund scheme and ESI scheme as an
expense, when an employee renders the related
service. If the contribution payable to the scheme
for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid, the
deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a
liability. If the contribution already paid exceeds the
contribution due for services received before the
balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an
asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to
a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
b) Defined Benefit Plans
The liability in respect of gratuity and other post
employment benefits is calculated using the
Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the
period during which the benefit is expected to be
derived from employees'' services.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions
are recognised in the period in which they occur in
Other Comprehensive Income.

cost when the scheme is announced, and the
Company is demonstrably committed to it.

into account:
- the after income tax effect of interest and
other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential equity shares, and
- the weighted average number of additional
equity shares that would have been outstanding
assuming conversion of all dilutive potential
