1 Basis of Preparation and Use of Accounting Estimates:
 
 The financial statements are prepared under the Historical Cost
 convention, on accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with
 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India and in
 compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and the
 Accounting Standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting
 Standards) Rules, 2006 prescribed by the Central Government. However,
 certain escalation and other claims, which are not ascertainable /
 acknowledged by customers, are not taken into account.
 
 The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
 reported amounts of income and expenses for the period, balances of
 Assets and Liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent
 liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Examples of
 such estimates include useful life of tangible and intangible fixed
 assets, contract costs expected to be incurred to complete construction
 contracts, provision for doubtful debts, income taxes and future
 obligations under the employee retirement benefit plans, etc. Actual
 results could differ from those estimates and differences, if any, are
 recognized in the period in which results are known.
