Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
convention on an accrual basis of accounting financial performance and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 along with the applicable guidelines
issued by Reserve Bank of India ("RBI").
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income is recognised in the profit and loss account as it
accrues except in the case of non performing assets ("NPAs") where it
is recognised, upon realisation, as per the Non Banking Financial
Companies (NBFC) prudential norms of RBI.
Advances & Provisioning
Non performing assets ("NPAs") provisions are made based on
management's assessment of the degree of impairment, subject to the
minimum provisioning level in accordance with Non Banking Financial
Companies (NBFC) prudential norms of RBI.
Fixed assets :
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition including any
cost attributable for bringing the asset to its working condition, less
accumulated depreciation.
Impairment of assets
In accordance with AS 28 on 'Impairment of Assets' issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, where there is an
indication of impairment of the companies assets, the carrying amounts
of the companies assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to
determine whether there is any impairment. The recoverable amount of
the assets (or where applicable that of the cash generating unit to
which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling
price and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever
the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment loss if any, is recognized in the Profit
& loss account.
Investments
Long Term and unquoted investments are valued at historical cost.
Provision for diminution in the value of investments will be made only
when there is any indication of diminution of permanent nature .
Depreciation :
Depreciation on Tangible Fixed Assets is provided on "Straight Line
Method". Till March 31, 2014 depreciation is charged as per rates
prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. From April 01,
2014 it is based on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule
II to the Companies Act, 2013 and in the manner prescribed by Schedule
II of the Companies Act 2013.
Intangible assets are amortised over their respective individual
estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, commencing from the
date the asset is available to the Company for its use.
Taxation:
Current Tax Provision has been made in accordance with the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Deferred Tax resulting from 'timing difference' between book and
taxable profit for the year is accounted for using the current tax
rates. The deferred tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to
the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that the assets will be
adjusted in future. However, in case of deferred tax assets
representing unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses are
recognised, if and only if there is a virtual certainty that there
would be adequate future taxable income against which such deferred tax
assets can be realised.
Employee Benefits :
Short-Term Employee Benefits :
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering
the services are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits
such as salaries, short-term compensated absences etc. and expected
cost of bonus are recognised in the period in which the employee
renders the related service.
Defined - Benefits Plans
Gratuity: The Liability is ascertained and provided for as per
Actuarial Valuation in conformity with the principles set out in the
Accounting Standard 15 (revised)
Earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance with
Accounting Standard (AS)-20 - Earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for
the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per equity share are computed using the weighted average number of
equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during
the year, except where the results are anti-dilutive.
Contingent liabilities not provided for :
Provisions are recognized when the company has a legal and constructive
obligation as a result of past event, for which it is probable that a
cash outflow will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when a company has possible
obligation or a present obligation and it is uncertain as to whether a
cash outflow will be required to settle the obligation.
