Accounting policies unless specifically stated to be otherwise, are consistent and are in consonance with generally accepted accounting principles. (b) Use of Estimates The brparation of financial statements require the management to make estimates and assumption that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities and assets as at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Difference between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the year in which the results become known/materialise.Contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amounts can reasonably be estimated. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known/ materialized. (c) Fixed Assets Tangible Assets i) Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition/construction. Cost includes borrowing cost and br-operative expenses as allocated to the fixed assets. ii) Capital Work-in-progress includes Marchinery to be installed, Construction and Erection Materials etc. d) Debrciation i) Debrciation has been provided for as per Schedule 11 of the Companies Act, 2013, on written down value method and in respect of plant and Marchinery acquired on or after 1.4.76, on straight-line method. Certain plants have been considered as continuous process plants on technical evaluation. ii) Marchinery Spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use is expected to be irregular are amortised over the useful life of the respective fixed assets and the amount amortised is included under stores and spares consumed. (e) Impairment of Fixed Assets Fixed Assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for impairment. In case events and circumstances indicate any impairment, recoverable amount of fixed assets is determined. An impairment loss is recognised, whenever the carrying amounts of assets exceeds recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of assets net selling price or its value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows from the use of assets are discounted to their brsent value at appropriate rate. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been change in the recoverable amount and such loss either no longer exists or has decreased. Impairment loss/reversal thereof is adjusted to the carrying value of the respective assets. (f) Investments Long-term investments are stated at cost less provisions, if any, for diminution in the values thereof, other than temporary. (g) Inventories i) Inventories are valued at cost or estimated net realisable value whichever is lower. The value of inventories other than raw materials is determined on weighted average basis. The value of raw materials is determined by first in first out method. Cost of raw materials includes expenses incurred for procuring the same. Cost in respect of finished goods, stock in process and wrapper rebrsents manufacturing cost and does not include interest, selling and distribution and certain administrative overheads. ii) Customs duty on materials in bond and excise duty on finished goods lying in the factory as at the year-end is considered as cost for valuation of stocks. (h) Revenues and Other Income i) Revenue is being recognised on accrual basis. ii) All expenses, claims, interest on overdue debts/demands and other incomes to the extent ascertainable and considered payable or receivable as the case may be, have been accounted for.iii)Sales are recognised on passing of the property in the goods as per the terms of the sales, irrespective of actual delivery. Sales include excise duty and incidental charges but rebates, discounts and Sales Tax/Value Add Tax (VAT) are excluded there from. (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted for at the exchange rate brvailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the year end are translated using closing exchange rates. The loss or gain thereon and also on the exchange differences on settlement of foreign currency transactions during the year are recognised as income or expenses and are adjusted to the profit and loss account under respective heads of accounts. Exchange differences arising with respect to forward contracts other than those entered into, to hedge foreign currency risk on unexecuted firm commitments or of highly probable forecast transactions are recognized in the year in which they arise and the difference between the forwards rate and exchange rate at the date of transaction is recognized as income / expense over the life of the contract.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising on account of timing differences, which are capable of reversal in subsequent years are recognised using tax rates and tax laws, which have been enacted or substantively enacted. Deferred tax assets other than in respect of carried forward losses or unabsorbed debrciation are recognised only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets will be realized. In case of carry forward of unabsorbed debrciation and tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is "virtual certainty" that such deferred tax assets can be realized against future taxable profits. (m) Borrowing Cost Borrowing costs, that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying asset, are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for use.All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
