Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act,
1961. Current tax is net of credit for entitlement for Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT).
Deferred tax is recognised, on timing differences, being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period
and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognised if there is virtual certainty that there will be
sufficient future taxable income available to realise such losses. Other deferred tax assets are recognised if there is reasonable certainity that there
will be sufficient future taxable income to realize such assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when asset is realised or the liability
is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
