B. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended). The financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the relevant presentation requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain items that are measured at amortised cost or fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) which is also the Company's functional currency.

Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period; they are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 and Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial

Statements based on the nature of business and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, plant &equipment (PP&E) are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost which represents the carrying value of PP&E recognised as at 1st April, 2015 measured as per the previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP).

Cost is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving construction, related pre-operational expenses form part of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised also include applicable borrowing costs for qualifying assets, if any. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it meets the recognition criteria are met as per component accounting. The carrying amount of a replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of Profit & Loss.

An item of PP&Eis derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of PP&E is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss

Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use which is generally on commissioning. Items of PP&E are depreciated in a manner that depreciates the cost of the assets after commissioning (or other amount substituted for cost), less its residual value, over their useful lives as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 on a straight line basis.

PP&E’s residual values and useful lives are reviewedat each balance sheet dateand changes,if any, are treated as changes in accounting estimate.

Impairment of Assets

Impairment loss is provided, if any, to the extent, the carrying amount of assetsor cash generating units exceed their recoverable amount.

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset or cash generating unit and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

Impairment losses recognised in prior years are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised no longer exist or have decreased. Such reversals are recognised as an increase in carrying amounts

of assets to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amounts that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised in previous years.

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Financial instruments, Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the relevant instrument and are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, which are measured at transaction price.Transaction cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value on initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.Purchase or sale of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date when the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial Assets:

Recognition: Financial assets includes Investments, Trade receivable, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and cash equivalents. Such Assets are initially recognized at fair value ortransaction price, as applicable, when the company

becomes party to contractual obligations. The transaction price includes transaction cost unless the assets is being fair valued through the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Classification: Management determines the classification of an asset at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on such classification.

Financial assets are classified as those measured at:

(a) Amortised cost, where the financial assets are held solely for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and /or interest.

(b) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), where the financial assets are held not only for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and interest but also from the sale of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income.

(c) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), where the assets are managed in accordance with an approved investment strategy that triggers purchase and sale decision based on fair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealized gain and losses arising from changes in the fair value, interest income and dividend income (if any), are recognised under ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

Trade receivable, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and Cash equivalents etc., are classified for measurement at amortised cost while Investment have been classified for measurement at Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),

Impairment: The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset (or group of financial assets) such as investment, trade receivable, advances and security deposit held at amortised cost are tested for impairment based on evidence or information that is available without undue cost or effort. Expected credit losses are assessed and loss allowances recognized if the credit quality of the financial asset has deteriorated significantly since initial recognition.

Reclassification: When and only when the business model is changed, the Company shall reclassify all affected financial assets prospectively from the reclassification date as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss without restating the previously recognized gains or losses and in terms of the reclassification principles laid down in the Ind AS relating to Financial Instruments.

De-recognition: Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive benefits have expired or been transferred, and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of such financial asset.

Financial Liabilities

Trade payables and other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is included in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Revenue

1. Revenue is measured at the transaction price that the Company receives or expects to receive as consideration for services rendered, net of discounts to customers and excludes taxes such as Goods and Services Tax. Revenue from the sale of services is recognised when the Company performs its obligations to its customers and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and recovery of the consideration is probable. Income from operating license fees are recognized on accrual basis in accordance with Operating License agreement. The timing of such revenue recognition is in the periods in which such services are rendered.

2. Interest Income is booked in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest method.

3. Dividend Income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive dividend is established.

Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service on an undiscounted basis. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid within twelve months, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay the same as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be reliably estimated.

The Company makes contributions to both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes.

Contributions to Provident Fund are in the nature of defined contribution scheme and such paid/payable amounts are recognised as expense. The contributions in respect of provident fund and family pension are statutorily deposited with the Government.

The Company also makes contribution to defined benefit gratuity plan. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit obligation is calculated by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The Company has taken a Policy with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover the gratuity liability with respect to the employees and the premium paid to LIC is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss. The difference between the actuarial valuation of the gratuity with respect to employees at the year-end and the contribution paid to LIC is further adjusted in the books of accounts.

Employees Benefit w.r.t. Leave Encashment is considered as Employees Long Term Benefit, for which the Company records the liability based on actuarial valuation computed under projected unit credit method. These benefits are unfunded.

All such Employee Benefit expenditure/provisions are reimbursed by the Licensee as per the Operating License Agreement.

Taxes on Income

Taxes on income comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss is provided as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the period using tax rates and tax laws enacted during the period, together with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilitiesand the amounts used for taxation purposes (tax base), at the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future tax consequences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

Dividend Distribution

Dividends paid (including income tax thereon) is recognised in the financial statements in the period in which the interim dividends are approved by the Board of Directors or, in respect of the Company’s final dividend for the year, when the same are approved by shareholders of the Company.

Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized 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 will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. The amount so recognized is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the obligation at

the reporting date, taking in to account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources. Where there is possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

The key estimates and assumption used in the preparation of financial statements are set out below:

Actuarial Valuation:

The determination of Company’s liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made through independent actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss and in other comprehensive income. Such valuation depend upon assumptions determined after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market. Information about such valuation is provided in notes to the financial statements.
