Accounting Policy Year : Jun '11
a.  Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
 
 The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian
 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical
 cost convention on the accrual basis. GAAP comprises mandatory
 accounting standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards)
 Rules 2006 and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board
 of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied
 except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or
 a revision of an existing accounting standard requires a change in the
 accounting policy hitherto in use.
 
 b.  Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP
 requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
 the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures

 the period. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful
 debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans,
