 for the year to Provident Fund and ESIC are charged to the statement of
 profit and loss for the year.
 
 Defined Benefit Plan : The Company''s liabilities towards gratuity and
 leave encashment are determined using the projected unit credit method
 which considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional
 unit of benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build
 up the final obligation.  Past services are recognized on a
 straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits
 become vested. Actuarial gain and losses are recognized immediately in
 the statement of profit and loss as income or expense. Obligation is
 measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using a
 discounted rate that is determined by reference to market yields at the
 balance sheet date on Government bonds where the currency and terms of
 the Government bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated
 terms of the defined benefit obligation.
 
 j) Impairment of Assets
 
 Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or
 changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
 recoverable. An impairment loss is then recognized for the amount by
 which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount,
 which is the higher of an asset''s net selling price and value in use.
 
 k) Accounting for Tax
 
 (a) Current Tax is accounted on the basis of estimated taxable income
 for the current accounting year and in accordance with the provisions
 of Income Tax Act, 1961.
 
 (b) Deferred Tax resulting from timing differences between
 accounting and taxable profit for the period is accounted by using tax
 rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted as at
 the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
 extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in
 future. Net deferred tax liability is arrived at after setting off
 deferred tax assets.
