Accounting Policy Year : Mar '11
a) Basis of Preparation
 
 The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
 respects with the Accounting Standards notified by Companies
 (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, (as amended) and the relevant
 provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.  The financial statements have
 been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis.
 The accounting policy has been consistently applied by the Company.
 
 The Company follows the mercantile system of accounting in general and
 recognizes income and expenditure on accrual basis except as otherwise
 stated.
 
 b) Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
 accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
 and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
 liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
 financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting
 period. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best
 knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
 from these estimates.
 
 c) Fixed Assets:
 
 Fixed Assets are stated at cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may
 be), less accumulated depreciation/amortisation and impairment losses
 if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of
 bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
 Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets which takes
 substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also
 included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are
 ready to be put to use.
 
 Advances paid towards acquisition of the fixed assets which have not
 been installed or put to use and the cost of the assets not put to use
 before the year end are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
 
 d) Depreciation:
 
 Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method at the rates
 prescribed under schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

 the year of purchase.

 provided on pro-rata basis.
 
 e) Impairment of Fixed Assets:
 
 The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
 if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
 factors. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount
 of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
 the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In
 assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
 to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. If at
 the Balance Sheet date there is any evaluation that a previously
 assessed impairment loss no longer exists, then such loss is reversed
 and the asset is restated to that effect.
 
 f) Investments:
 
 Long term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution
 in value, which is other than temporary. Current investments are
 carried at lower of cost or fair value. In respect of current
 investments, the shortfall in the book value when compared to market
 value of said investment on individual basis charged to Revenue A/c.
