Notes: |
| 1. The Company
continues to adopt same accounting policies in respect of matters
referred by the Auditors of the Company in their report for the year
ended March 31, 2003, which are as follows: |
| a) Liability for
leave encashment to employees is accounted for on cash basis. |
| b) Gratuity
liability is accounted for to the extent of premium paid to LIC,
which together with future payments would be sufficient to meet the
liability as and when it arises (excluding the gratuity liability of
contract labour at Newai, the amount whereof has not been
determined.) The effect of the above non compliance upto March 2003
was Rs 1281.99 lacs. Since the above issues are not quantified at
quarterly intervals, the impact of the same cannot be given for the
current quarter / 9 Months ended Dec. 31, 2003. |

has been considered necessary in respect of certain doubtful debts,
claims and advances aggregating to Rs.152.15 Lacs, as the Company is

listed company. The market value of the above investment as at 31th
