Notes:
(a) At cost, except land - freehold, certain leasehold land, building premises and plant and equipment stated at revalued value.
(b) Land - leasehold at cost less amounts written off.
(c) Includes premises on ownership basis
`
1.10 cr (Previous year
`
1.10 cr) and cost of fully paid share in co-operative society
`
2,000 (Previous year
`
2,000).
(d) The Company has revalued (i) Leasehold land and (ii) Commercial land & building at Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Delhi as at March 31, 2008 at fair market value as determined by an
independent valuer appointed for the purpose. Resultant increase in book value amounting to
`
107.47 cr has been transferred to Revaluation reserve.
(e) Pursuant to the order passed by Honourable High Court of Gujarat, dated November 17, 2008 and April 17, 2009 in case of water charges , the Company has created first charge
over its certain land & buildings in favour of Government of Gujarat.
(f) The Company has opted to recognise exchange differences arising on reporting of long-term foreign currency monetary items in line with paragraph 46 of Accounting Standard-11
‘The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates’ inserted vide Notification dated December 29, 2011 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Pursuant to the above, the effect
of exchange differences on long-term foreign currency monetary items, so far as they relate to acquisition of depreciable capital assets, are amortised over the remaining life of such
assets. Had the Company continued to follow the earlier Accounting Policy, the net foreign exchange loss recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss would have been higher by
`
1.89 cr and Fixed Assets would have been lower by
`
1.89 cr.
