1) System of Accounting
 
 i) The Company follows the mercantile system of accounting and
 recognises income and expenditure on an accrual basis except in case of
 significant uncertainties.
 
 ii) Financial Statements are prepared under the Historical cost
 convention. These costs are not adjusted to refect the impact of
 changing value in the purchasing power of money.
 
 iii) Estimates and Assumptions used in the preparation of the financial
 statements are based upon managements evaluation of the relevant facts
 and circumstances as of the date of the Financial Statements, which may
 differ from the actual results at a subsequent date.
 
 2) Revenue recognition:
 
 a) Income:
 
 The Company recognises income on accrual basis. However, where the
 ultimate collection of the same lacks reasonable certainty, revenue
 recognition is postponed to the extent of uncertainty.
 
 (1) a) Interest income is accrued over the period of the loan. However,
 where a loan is classified as a non-performing asset, as per the
 prudential norms prescribed by RBI and to the extent applicable to the
 company as a NBFC and guidelines framed by the management, interest
 thereon is recognised only when it is actually received.
 
 b) Income from debentures and bonds is accrued over the maturity of the
 security net of amortisation of premium/discount where intended to be
 held for a long term, thereby recognising the implicit yield to
 maturity, with reference to the coupon dates. However, income is
 accrued only where interest is serviced regularly and is not in
 arrears, as per the applicable prudential norms prescribed for NBFCs by
 the Reserve Bank of India and the guidelines framed by the management.
 
 (2) Dividend is accrued in the year in which it is declared whereby a
 right to receive is established.
 
 (3) Profit/loss on sale of investments is recognised on the contract
 date.
 
 b) Wind Farm Income:
 
 Income from windpower generation is recognised on acceptance by
 Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) of
 units generated after giving allowance for wheeling and transmission
 losses.
 
 3) Fixed Assets and Depreciation
 
 (A) Fixed Assets
 
 Fixed Assets except freehold land are carried at cost of acquisition or
 construction cost including pre-operative expenses, less accumulated
 depreciation and amortisation.
 
 (B) Depreciation and Amortisation:
 
 (a) Leasehold land:
 
 Premium on leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.
 
 (b) On other Fixed Assets
 
 Depreciation on all assets is provided on ‘Straight Line basis ‘ in
 accordance with the provisions of Section 205 (2) (b) of the Companies
 Act,1956, in the manner and at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to
 the said Act.
 
 i.  Depreciation on additions is being provided on prorata basis from
 the month of such additions.
 
 ii.  Depreciation on assets sold, discarded or demolished during the
 year is being provided at their rates upto the month in which such
 assets are sold, discarded or demolished.
 
 4) Investments
 
 a) Fixed income securities remaining with the company on vesting of the
 strategic investment undertakings of erstwhile Bajaj Auto Limited, are
 carried at their fair market values as at 1 April 2007 where the
 carrying costs of such investments were higher on that date, less
 amortisation of premium/discount thereafter, as the case may be.
 
 b) Current investments representing fixed income securities with a
 maturity less than 1 year and those intended to be held for a period
 less than 1 year from the date on which the investment is made are
 stated at cost adjusted for amortisation and diminution with reference
 to realisable value, as necessary.
 
 c) Other Fixed income securities, other than current, are carried at
 cost, less amortisation of premium/discount, as the case may be, and
 provision for diminution, if any, as considered necessary.
 
 d) Investments other than fixed income securities are valued at cost of
 acquisition, less provision for diminution as necessary.
 
 e) Investments other than current investments, made by the Company are
 intended to be held for long-term, hence diminutions in value of quoted
 investments are generally not considered to be of a permanent nature.
 
 f) The management has laid out guidelines for the purpose of assessing
 likely impairments in investments and for making provisions based on
 given criteria. Appropriate provisions are accordingly made, which in
 the opinion of the management are considered adequate and also
 considering the prudential norms specified by the Reserve Bank of
 India, applicable to the company in this behalf.
 
 5) Employee Benefits
 
 a) Privilege Leave entitlements
 
 Privilege leave entitlements are recognised as a liability, in the
 calendar year of rendering of service, as per the rules of the company.
 As accumulated leave can be availed and/or encashed at any time during
 the tenure of employment the liability is recognised at the actuarially
 determined value by an Appointed Actuary.
 
 b) Gratuity
 
 Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being
 made to approved Gratuity Fund, which fully covers the same under Cash
 Accumulation Policy of the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
 However, any deficit in Plan Assets managed by LIC as compared to the
 actuarial liability is recognised as a liability immediately.
 
 c) Superannuation
 
 Defined Contribution to Superannuation fund is being made as per the
 Scheme of the Company.
 
 d) Provident Fund Contributions are made to Companys Provident Fund

 (reporting period) on the basis of the taxable profits computed in
 accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
 
 b) Deferred Tax resulting from timing difference between book profits
 and taxable profits are accounted for to the extent deferred tax
 liabilities are expected to crystalise with reasonable certainty.
 However, deferred tax assets (representing unabsorbed depreciation or
 carried forward losses) are recognised, if and only if there is virtual
 certainty that there would be adequate future taxable income against
 which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax is
 recognised on adjustments to revenue reserves to the extent the
 adjustments are allowable as deductions in determination of taxable
 income and they would reverse out in future periods.
 
 7) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
 
 The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a
 result of a past event probably requires an outflow of resources and a
 reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A
 disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible
 obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,
 require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or
 a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of
 resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
