2.1. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the related disclosures.
Significant management judgements
The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant
effect on the financial statements.
Recognition of deferred tax assets – The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the
probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.

Recognition of deferred tax liability on undistributed profits – The extent to which the Holding Company can control the timing
of reversal of deferred tax liability on undistributed profits of its subsidiaries requires judgement.
Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets – The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires
assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
Classification of leases – The Group enters into leasing arrangements for various assets. The classification of the leasing arrangement
as a finance lease or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership
of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee’s option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease
term to the asset’s economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent of
specialized nature of the leased asset. The Group has also factored in overall time period of rent agreements to arrive at lease period to
recognize rental income on straight-line basis.

Contingent liabilities – At each balance sheet date basis the management judgment, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Group
assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding warranties and guarantees. However, the actual future outcome may
be different from this judgement.
Significant estimates
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be different.

Impairment of financial assets – At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the
management assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding receivables and advances.
Defined benefit obligation (DBO) – Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions
such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in
these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Fair value measurements – Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where
active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants
would price the instrument.

Useful lives of depreciable/ amortisable assets – Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable
assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and
economic obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, customer relationships, IT equipment and other plant and
equipment.
