considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and
expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates
used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and
reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the
differences between the actual results and the estimates are

materialise.

The Company has trading activities in Derivative segment in Shares and
Commodities.

attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
its intended use, net of CENVAT (where claimed), excluding government
grant, borrowing cost for qualifying assets.

nature and intended holding period. Long-term investments are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. The

limit for Registration under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972;
Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 or
any other Act pertaining to employee benefits, the company has not
provided for such employee benefits. Bonus is paid to employees as

1.11 Segment reporting
Considering the nature of Company's business and operations, there is
no reportable segment (business and / or geographical) in accordance
with the requirement of Accounting Standard - 17 `Segment
Reporting', prescribed under the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
1.12 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) as adjusted for dividend, by the number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share.
1.13 Taxes on income
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws,
which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to
future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is
convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax.
Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when
it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will
flow to the Company.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the
differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that
originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more
subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and
the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting
date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing
differences. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation
and carry forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual
certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income
available to realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised
for timing differences of other items only to the extent that
reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which these can be realised. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income
levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally
enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed
at each Balance Sheet date for their realisability. Current and
deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in equity are
recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.14 Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are determined based
on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance
Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted
to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are
disclosed in the Notes. Contingent Assets are not recognised in
financial statements.
1.15 Derivative contracts
The Company has trading activities in Derivative segment in Shares and
Commodities.
Derivative contracts are marked-to-market and losses are recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains arising on the same are not
recognised, until realised, on grounds of prudence.
1.16 Impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of
impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated
and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use
is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present
value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is
indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier
accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such
reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss, except in case of revalued assets.
1.17 Service Tax Input Credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period
in which the underlying service received is accounted and when there
is reasonable certainty in availing / utilising the credits.
For the period of five years immediately preceding the date as which
the Balance Sheet is prepared:
(A) No shares were allotted as fully paid-up pursuant to contracts
without payment being received in cash.
(B) No shares were allotted as fully paid-up by way of bonus shares.
(C) No shares were bought back.
