Internal Risk Factors
1.
Some of the properties occupied by us including our Registered Office are not owned by us. If we are
required to vacate the same, due to any reason whatsoever, it may adversely affect our business operations.
Our Company has its registerd office and retail stores at the premises that are not owned by our Company. Our
Company has been occupying such premises under Lease Agreements from several third parties at a payment of
rent. Although, we believe that we have complied with all the terms of such agreements, in the event there is any
breach or violation of the same, we may be required to vacate the same. Further, in any event, on expiry of such
agreements, if the respective owners are not willing to renew the same, the aforesaid properties may have to be
vacated and we may be required to look for alternate premises, which we may not be able to find at terms favourable
to our Company. In such an event, it will adversely affect our business operations and our financial condition.
For further details please see the heading Property in the section titled Our Business on page no. 72 of this Draft
Prospectus.
2.
We are dependent on our management and other key personnel personnel for success whose loss could
seriously impair the ability to continue to manage and expand business efficiently.
Our success largely depends on the continued services and performance of our management and other key
personnel. The loss of service of the management team and staff could seriously impair the ability to continue to
manage and expand the business efficiently. Further, the loss of any of the senior management or other key
personnel may adversely affect the operations, finances and profitability of our Company. Any failure or inability of
our Company to efficiently retain and manage its human resources would adversely affect our ability to implement
new projects and expand our business.

We have entered into certain related party transactions and may continue to do so.
We have entered into related party transactions with our Promoters, Promoter Group, Group Entities and Directors.
While we believe that all such transactions have been conducted on the arms length basis, however it is difficult to
ascertain whether more favorable terms would have been achieved had such transactions been entered with
unrelated parties. Furthermore, it is likely that we may enter into related party transactions in the future. For details
of these transactions, please refer to section titled "Related Party Transactions" at page 108 of this Draft Prospectus.

and may adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
For further information on the indebtedness of our Company, please refer the Section titled Financial
Indebtedness on page 128 of this Draft Prospectus.
7.
We require a number of approvals, licenses, registration and permits for our business and failure to obtain or
renew them in a timely manner may adversely affect our operations. In some cases, we may be operating without
all the required permissions, risking civil and criminal sanctions.
We may require several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals in the ordinary course of our
business, some of which our Company has either received, applied for or is in the process of application. Many of
these approvals are granted for fixed periods of time and need renewal from time to time. There can be no assurance
that the relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all.
Any failure by us to apply in time, to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits, licenses or approvals, or the
cancellation, suspension, delay in issuance or revocation of any of the permits, licenses or approvals may result in
the interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on the business. For further details, please
see chapters titled Key Industry Regulations and Policies in India and Government and Other Approvals at
pages 80 and 139 respectively of this Draft Prospectus.
8.
Delay in raising funds from the IPO could adversely impact the implementation schedule.
The proposed objects, as detailed in the section titled "Objects of the Issue" are to be largely funded from the
proceeds of this IPO. We have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay on our
part to mobilize the required resources or any shortfall in the Issue proceeds may delay the implementation
schedule. We therefore, cannot assure that we would be able to execute the expansion process within the given
12
timeframe, or within the costs as originally estimated by us. Any time overrun or cost overrun may adversely affect
our growth plans and profitability.
9.
Our funding requirements and deployment of the issue proceeds are based on management estimates and have
not been independently appraised by any bank or financial institution and actual cost may vary compared with
the estimated amount.
Our funding requirements and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates and
our current business plan. The fund requirements and intended use of proceeds have not been appraised by bank or
financial institution and are based on our estimates. In view of the competitive and dynamic nature of our business,
we may have to revise our expenditure and fund requirements as a result of variations including in the cost structure,
changes in estimates and other external factors, which may not be within the control of our management. This may
entail rescheduling, revising or cancelling the planned expenditure and fund requirement and increasing or
decreasing the expenditure for a particular purpose from its planned expenditure at the discretion of our board. In
addition, schedule of implementation as described herein are based on managements current expectations and are
subject to change due to various factors some of which may not be in our control. The deployment of the funds
towards the objects of the issue is entirely at the discretion of the Board of Directors/Management and is not subject
to monitoring by external independent agency. However, the deployment of funds is subject to monitoring by our
Audit Committee. Any inability on our part to effectively utilize the Issue proceeds could adversely affect our
financials.
10. A significant portion of our collections are in cash and consequently we face the risk of misappropriation or
fraud by our full-time employees or other personnel engaged by us, which may adversely affect our business
and profitability.
A significant portion of our collections from our customers is in cash. Significant cash collections expose us to the
risk of fraud, misappropriation or unauthorized transactions by our employees responsible for dealing with such
cash collections.
While we have obtained insurance policies and coverage for cash in safes and in transit, and undertake measures to
detect and prevent any unauthorized transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our representatives and officers, this
may not be sufficient to prevent or deter such activities in all cases, which may adversely affect our operations,
profitability and/or cash flows.. Further, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with
any unauthorized transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our representatives and employees, which could
adversely affect our goodwill. Moreover, we may also be affected by frauds, forgery or misrepresentations by our
customers made to our business representatives about their financial condition, information of guarantor, security or
other personal information may make collection and recovery difficult.
11. Our Company may require additional capital resources to achieve our object of the issue.
The actual expenditure incurred for the object of the issue may be higher than current estimate owing to but not
limited to, implementation delays or cost overruns. We may, therefore, primarily try to meet such cost overruns
through our internal generations and in case if the same is not adequate, we may have to raise additional funds by
way of additional term debt from banks/ financial institutions and unsecured loans, which may have an adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
12. We face the risk of potential liabilities from lawsuits or claims by consumers.
In our day to day business operations, we receive complaints and/or claims from our consumers on grounds of any
defective product sold or any deficiency in our services to them.
In addition, we may be subject to complaints based on malicious rumors regarding our services or products.Such
events may generate negative publicity concerning our service standards and product quality, reduce consumers
confidence in our product/services and negatively impact our reputation. As a result, our business, profitability
and financial performance may be adversely affected and we may also have to incur additional costs to restore our
image and reputation.
In the event that complaints from our consumers escalate into legal claims, our image and market reputation
could be adversely affected. In addition, resources such as time and legal costs would have to be utilized and
incurred to address such claims, thereby further affecting our business and financial performance. We cannot
13
assure you that litigation would not be brought against us in the future. Our liabilities in respect of such claims
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
13. If we are unable to source business opportunities effectively, we may not achieve our financial objectives.
Our ability to achieve our financial objectives will depend on our ability to identify, evaluate and accomplish
business opportunities. To grow our business, we will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees and
to implement systems capable of effectively accommodating our growth. However, we cannot assure you that any
such employees will contribute to the success of our business or that we will implement such systems effectively.
Our failure to source business opportunities effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. It is also possible that the strategies used by us in the future may be
different from those presently in use. No assurance can be given that our analysis of market and other data or the
strategies we use or plans in future to use will be successful under various market conditions.
14. Our insurance policies provide limited coverage and we may not be insured against some business risks.
Our insurance policies cover physical loss or damage to our stock, building and other assets arising from a number
of specified risks including fire and burglary. Notwithstanding the insurance coverage that we carry, we may not be
fully insured against some business risks and the occurrence of an accident that causes losses in excess of limits
specified under the relevant policy, or losses arising from events not covered by insurance policies, could materially
and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For further details, kindly refer to Our
Business on page 72 of this Draft Prospectus.
15. The LM has not carried out any physical verification of the major assets of the Company and has also not carried
out independent verification of bank statements of the Company.
During the course of the diligence the LM has visited a few of our stores and our registered office. The LM has not
carried out any physical verification of the major assets of our Company. The LM in their diligence process has
relied on the internal control processes of our Company. The LM has also not carried out an independent
verification of bank statements of our Company.
16. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows,
working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
We have not paid any dividends since incorporation and there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in
future. Our ability to pay dividends in future will depend on the earnings, financial condition, cash flow, working
capital requirements and capital expenditure. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of
dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on factors that our Board deems relevant, including
among others, our results of future earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any
other financing arrangements. We cannot guarantee our ability to pay dividends.
17. Our Company has unsecured loans, which are repayable on demand. Any demand from lenders for repayment of
such unsecured loans, may adversely affect our business operations and financial condition of our Company.
As on August 31, 2016, our Company has unsecured loans aggregating to Rs. 46.72 Lacs which are repayable on
demand. For further details of these unsecured loans, please refer to chapter titled Financial Statements beginning
on page 110 of this Draft Prospectus. In case of any demand from lenders for repayment of such unsecured loans,
the resultant cash outgo, may adversely affect our business operations and financial position of our Company.
18. Our Board of Directors and management may change our operating policies and strategies without prior notice
or shareholders approval.
Our Board of Directors and Management has the authority to modify certain of our operating policies and strategies
without prior notice (except as required by law) and without shareholders approval. We cannot predict the effect of
any changes to our current operating policies or strategies, on our business, operating results and the price of our
Equity Shares.
19. We could be harmed by employee misconduct or errors that are difficult to detect and any such incidences could
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
14
Employee misconduct or errors could expose us to business risks or losses, including regulatory sanctions and
serious harm to our reputation. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter such misconduct.
Moreover, the precautions we take to prevent and detect such activity may not be effective in all cases. Our
employees and agents may also commit errors that could subject us to claims and proceedings for alleged
negligence, as well as regulatory actions on account of which our business, financial condition, results of operations
and goodwill could be adversely affected.
20. Our business in relation to sale of certain electronic products is seasonal in nature. Any substantial decrease
in our sales during this period can have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
The sale of our certain electronic products is seasonal in nature. This unevenness in seasonal sales is largely due to
the buying cycles of the customers and weather cycles of locations to which we cater. The sale of few of our
products like TV, air conditioners, etc. is higher during a particular season and festival time. We expect that this
trend of buying and weather cycles will continue to have an effect on our business and results of operations. Any
reduction in sales during this period may lead to an adverse impact on the financial performance of the Company.
21. Some of our corporate records/documents relating to forms filed with the Registrar of Companies are not
traceable.
We are unable to trace certain corporate records in relation to our Company. These corporate records/ documents
include prescribed forms filed with the RoC by our Company relating to certain allotments of Equity Shares made
by our Company. These documents pertain to the period between 1999 and 2007. These forms are also not available
at the office of the RoC Patna, Bihar as certified by M/s. Menka Gupta & Associates, Company Secretary dated
June 04, 2016. The disclosures pertaining to the aforementioned matters made in this Draft Prospectus are on basis
of limited information readily available with our Company. Whilst we believe that all filings have been made, there
is no assurance that we will not be subject to penalties on this account. For further information, please see the
chapter titled History and Certain other Corporate Matters beginning on page 85 of this Draft Prospectus.
22. Some of the transfer deeds and the Corporate Registers in relation to the Company are misplaced and currently
not traceable.
The transfer deeds for the period October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2012 in relation to the transfer of shares of our
Company and the Corporate Register maintained prior to the year 2014 were misplaced while transporting them for
certain purposes. We have filed a complaint dated April 29, 2016 at the Police Station Kankarbagh, Patna. The
misplaced transfer deeds are currently not traceable. Although the details of such transfers have been included in the
register of transfer & transmission and register of members maintained by the Company in accordance with the
Companies Act and historical details of members of the Company have been filed by the Company with the
Registrar of Companies annually in Form 20B as required under the Companies Act, we cannot assure you that
these deeds will be available in the future or that we will not be subject to any penalty imposed by the competent
regulatory authority in this respect.
23. The Promoter/Promoter Group/Group Companies will continue to exercise control post completion of the Issue
and will have considerable influence over the outcome of matters.
Upon completion of this Issue, our Promoters/Promoter Group/Group Companies will continue to own a majority of
our Equity Shares. As a result, our Promoters will have the ability to exercise significant influence over all matters
requiring shareholders approval. Our Promoters will also be in a position to influence any shareholder action or
approval requiring a majority vote, except where they may be required by applicable law to abstain from voting.
This control could also delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company, impede a merger, consolidation,
takeover or other business combination involving our Company, or discourage a potential acquirer from obtaining
control of our Company even if it is in the best interests of our Company. The interests of our Promoters could
conflict with the interests of our other equity shareholders, and the Promoters could make decisions that materially
and adversely affect your investment in the Equity Shares.
24. Relevant copies of educational qualifications and experience of some of our Promoters, and Key Managerial
Personnel are not traceable.
Relevant copies of the educational qualifications of Ms. Sunita Sinha, Mr. Nishant Prabhakar and Mr. Dhananjay
Singh, are not traceable. The information included in the section are based on the details provided by the respective
Directors and Key Managerial Personnel and are supported by certificates executed by them certifying the
15
authenticity of the information provided.Consequently, we or the LM cannot assure you that such information in
relation to the particular Promoters ad Key Managerial Personnel are true and correct and you should not place
undue reliance on the experience and qualification of our management included in this Draft Prospectus.
25. We may not be successful in implementing our business strategies.
The success of our business depends substantially on our ability to implement our business strategies effectively or
at all. There is no guarantee that we will successfully execute our business strategies on time and within the
estimated budget going forward, or that we will be able to meet the expectations of our targeted customers.
Changes in regulations applicable to us may also make it difficult to implement our business strategies. Failure to
implement our business strategies would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
26. Our business requires working capital. Any failure in arranging adequate working capital for our operations
may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We have working capital requirements for our business operations, part of which would be met through additional
borrowings in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in arranging adequate working
capital for our operations and any failure in doing so may adversely affect our cash flows, business, results of
operations and financial condition.
27. Certain qualifications have been noted by Peer Review Auditors in their report on the Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Our Peer Review Auditors have provided certain qualifications in their report on the Restated Financial
Statements in relation to the Fiscal Years 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 in their audit report relating to the
financial statements for our Company are as follows:
(i)
The company has not maintained quantitative details for fixed assets purchased prior to April 1, 2014.
(ii)
Effective from April 1, 2014 the Company has assessed the useful life of the fixed assets as required by
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. However while ascertaining the balance useful life of assets the
Company has not deducted the elapsed life of the assets. Thus the balance useful life of the assets ascertained is
higher and in the absence of quantitative details we are unable to ascertain the understatement of depreciation
on fixed assets.
(iii)
The company has not maintained stock records on daily basis and value of closing stock has been derived by
physical verification of stock as on that date.
(iv)
As per Accounting Standard- 15 Employee Benefits issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India,
Company is required to assess its gratuity liability each year on the basis of actuarial valuation and make
provision for gratuity liability. However, company has not provided for gratuity liability in the financials. For
further information, please see the chapter titled Financial Statements beginning on page 110 of this Draft
Prospectus
28. Our Promoters have given personal guarantees in relation to certain financing arrangements provided to us by
our lenders which may not continue after the completion of the Issue.
Under certain financial arrangements with our lenders, our Promoters have given personal guarantees for repayment
of the loans/credit facilities availed by us. We have historically depended on guarantees provided to our lenders by
our Promoters in order to help fund our operations and business expansion. Our Promoters may not provide any
financial or other support after the completion of the Issue. Additionally, if the financial condition of our Promoters
deteriorates, our existing financing arrangements with our lenders may be adversely affected. We cannot assure you
that such contributions to us by our Promoters will be on terms comparable with such past transactions or continue
in future at all. This could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
29. Some of our lease agreements may have certain irregularities which may have a material adverse impact on our
business.
Some of our lease agreements have certain irregularities such as inadequate stamping and/or non registration of
deeds and agreements and improper execution of lease deeds. The effect of inadequate stamping and non
16
registration is that the document is not admissible as evidence in legal proceedings, and parties to that agreement
may not be able to legally enforce the same, except after paying a penalty for inadequate stamping and non
registration. In the event of any dispute arising out of such unstamped or inadequately stamped and/or
unregistered lease agreements, we may not be able to effectively enforce our leasehold rights arising out of such
agreements which may have a material adverse impact on our business.
30. Delay in filing of certain forms under Companies Act with RoC.
We have delayed in filing of certain forms under Companies Act with RoC and although the Company has paid
additional fees for the same, such non- compliance may result in penalties or other action against our Company.
31. Our image and reputation in the market is dependent on the quality and quantum of products sourced from the
suppliers and the manufacturers and any failure on their part to maintain quality and adequate supply would
adversely affect our reputation.
Our Company being in the retail business relies on the quality of the products provided by the suppliers and
manufacturers. Further, if these suppliers and manufacturers are unable to procure the required level of inventories
because of any change in the policy or any change in the arrangement between these supplier and the manufacturers
and/or any failure on the part of the suppliers or the manufacturers to maintain a high level of quality of the products
could adversely affect the Companys reputation and revenue generation.
32. Our Company has made application for registration of trademark, which is under process of registration. We are
unable to assure that the future viability or value of any of our intellectual property or that the steps taken by us
to protect the proprietary rights of our Company will be adequate.
We have made an application with The Registrar of Trade Marks, Trade Marks Registry for registration of
trademark and the registration for the said trademark in our name is important to retain our brand equity. If our
application for registration is not accepted or if the oppositions filed against our trademark application if any, are
successful, we may lose the statutory protection available to us under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 for such
trademark. Further, we cannot assure that our pending application would be granted registration or will not be
challenged or if granted registration, will not be invalidated or circumvented or will offer us any meaningful
protection. We are unable to assure that the future viability or value of any of our intellectual property or that the
steps taken by us to protect the proprietary rights of our Company will be adequate.
33. We have, in the Twelve months preceding the date of this Draft Prospectus, issued Equity Shares at a price that is
below the Issue Price.
During the last one year, we have issued Equity Shares at a price below the Issue Price is set forth in the table

34. The failure to maintain a timely and adequate supply of products could have an adverse effect on the ongoing
business of our Company.
Our Company being in the retail business needs to ensure continuous supply of the different products being offered
under the different brands. Our Company has not entered into any formal long-term agreements or arrangements
with any of its suppliers. Arrangements for such supplies vary depending on different schemes offered by different
brands. If the timely and adequate supply is not made available to the Company on acceptable commercial terms, or
if there are significant increases in the cost of these products, the Companys results of operations and financial
condition may be adversely affected.
35. The quality and consistency of after sales service cannot be guaranteed as technical support is provided by
personnel hired by different Companies offering their products thereby adversely affecting the reputation of our
products.
After sales service for various appliances is provided by personnel hired and trained by the respective Companies
offering their brands. We have little or no control over the quality and consistency of after sales service provided by
such personnel. Any failure to provide or any deficiency in after sale services may tarnish our reputation.
36. Demand of the products from brand loyal consumers and non-availability of the same at our outlets may
adversely affect our results of operation and profitability.
We may not stock products of all the brands at our outlets and demand for product of a particular brand, by any
client , not available with us may compel a customer who has high loyalty for that brand to move to our competitor.
Further, such unsatisfied customer may not return to us even to purchase other products, which may be available
with us. This can have an adverse implication on our revenue generation and growth prospects.
37. Risk of reliance on the brand, reputation, intellectual property and technology provided by third parties and any
damage to them would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The goods that we are selling are goods manufactured by other Companies. Any damage to the brand, reputation
and intellectual property of such other Companies may adversely affect our business and may lead to loss of
revenue.
38. Our Company does not have any listed peer companies for comparison of performance and therefore, investors
must rely on their own examination of accounting ratios of our Company for the purposes of investment in the
Issue.
As of the date of this Draft Prospectus, there are no companies which are involved in the business similar to our
business, which are listed on the Indian stock exchanges and accordingly, we are not in a position to provide
comparative analysis of our performance with any listed company. Therefore, investors must rely on their own
examination of accounting ratios of our Company for the purposes of investment in the Issue.
39. Our operations are significantly located in the Patna region and failure to expand our operations may restrict
our growth and adversely affect our business
Currently, we are carrying our business mainly in the Patna region of Bihar and hence our major revenues are
generated from operations in this region only. In the event that demand for our products in general reduces or stops
by any reason including political discord or instability or change in policies of State, then our financial condition
and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. As we seek to diversify our regional focus we may
face the risk that our competitors may be better known in other markets, enjoy better relationships with customers.
Our lack of exposure in geographical boundaries outside our operating regions could impact our future revenues.
40. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to successfully
manage, or accurately report, our financial risks.
18
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to prepare reliable financial reports and effectively avoid fraud.
Moreover, any internal controls that we may implement, or our level of compliance with such controls, may
deteriorate over time, due to evolving business conditions. There can be no assurance that deficiencies in our
internal controls will not arise in the future, or that we will be able to implement, and continue to maintain, adequate
measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls. Any inability on our part to adequately
detect, rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls may adversely impact our ability to
accurately report, or successfully manage, our financial risks, and to avoid fraud.
41. Demand for our products is affected by global and national economic conditions. Any development which
decelerates the demand for our products would have an adverse impact on the Company.
The electronic industry in India in general and our business and results of operations in particular are affected by the
change in various global and national economic conditions. Changes or a downturn in the global or national
economy could add uncertainty to currency inflation or deflation, interest rates, taxation, stock market performance,
consumers' confidence and consumers' perception of economic conditions, which in turn may affect the consumers'
willingness to purchase our products. Our business is sensitive to a number of factors that influence the levels of
consumer spending, including political and economic conditions such as recessionary environments, the levels of
disposable consumer income, consumer debt, interest rates. Declines in consumer spending on electronics or home
appliances/products could have an adverse effect on our operating results. While adverse economic and business
conditions are harmful to all business, companies such as ours are particularly sensitive to them, particularly
declining levels of disposable consumer income, higher consumer debt, higher interest rates, higher taxation, and
increase in unemployment because of their direct impact on discretionary consumer spending. Unfavorable changes
in business and economic conditions affecting our consumers could result in decrease in demand for our products or
lower our profit margins, and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
External Risk Factors
42. Political, economic and social changes in India could adversely affect our business.
Our business, and the market price and liquidity of our Companys shares, may be affected by changes in
Government policies, including taxation, social, political, economic or other developments in or affecting India
could also adversely affect our business. Since 1991, successive governments have pursued policies of economic
liberalization and financial sector reforms including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. In
addition, any political instability in India may adversely affect the Indian economy and the Indian securities markets
in general, which could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
43. Changing laws, rules and regulations including adverse application of tax laws and regulations-such as
application of goods and service tax could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by changes in law or interpretations of existing,
or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations in India applicable to us and our business. Please refer to the
section Key Industry Regulations and Policies beginning on page 80 for details of the laws currently applicable to
us.Any changes to such laws, including the instances briefly mentioned below, may adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects:
The GoI proposed to revamp the implementation of direct taxes by way of the introduction of the Direct
Taxes Code (DTC). The DTC proposes to consolidate and amend laws relating to income tax and wealth
tax. The Government has indicated in the Union Budget for the financial year from April 1, 2016 to March
31, 2017, that the DTC shall not be pursued further.
The GoI has proposed a comprehensive national GST regime that will combine taxes and levies by the
Central and State Governments into a unified rate structure which has been tabled before the Parliament of
India. While the GoI and other state governments have announced that all committed incentives will be
protected following the implementation of the GST, given the limited availability of information in the
public domain concerning the GST, we are unable to provide any assurance as to this or any other aspect of
the tax regime following implementation of the GST. The implementation of this rationalized tax structure
may be affected by any disagreement between certain state governments, which may create uncertainty.
19
Any such future increases or amendments may affect the overall tax efficiency of companies operating in
India and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.
Further, the General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) are proposed to be effective from April 1, 2017. The
tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement could result in denial of tax
benefit amongst other consequences. In the absence of any precedents on the subject, the application of
these provisions is uncertain. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to our Company, it may have an
adverse tax impact on us.
We have not determined the impact of these proposed legislations on our business. Uncertainty in the
applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law,
regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited
body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and
may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
44. Our business may be adversely affected by competition laws in India and any adverse application or
interpretation of the Competition Act could adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, as amended (the Competition Act), regulates practices having an appreciable adverse
effect on competition in the relevant market in India. Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal
arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on
competition is considered void and results in the imposition of substantial monetary penalties. Further, any
agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices,
limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or provision of services, shares
the market or source of production or provision of services by way of allocation of geographical area, type of goods
or services or number of clients in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive
bidding is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse
of a dominant position by any enterprise.
The applicability or interpretation of the Competition Act to any merger, amalgamation or acquisition proposed or
undertaken by us, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by CCI for alleged violation of provisions of the
Competition Act may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
45. Our business is subject to a significant number of tax regimes and changes in legislation governing the rules
implementing them or the regulator enforcing them in any one of those jurisdictions could negatively and
adversely affect our results of operations.
The revenues recorded and income earned is taxed on differing bases, including net income actually earned, net
income deemed earned and revenue-based tax withholding. The final determination of the tax liabilities involves the
interpretation of local tax laws as well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of
future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned and expenditures incurred.
Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax laws, could impact the determination of the tax
liabilities of our Company for any year.
46. Natural calamities and force majeure events may have an adverse impact on our business.
Natural disasters may cause significant interruption to our operations, and damage to the environment that could have
a material adverse impact on us. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their impact on the
Indian economy. Prolonged spells of deficient or abnormal rainfall and other natural calamities could have an
adverse impact on the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
47. Our transition to IFRS reporting could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations or
financial condition.
Our Company may be required to prepare annual and interim financial statements under IFRS in accordance with
the roadmap for the adoption of, and convergence with, the IFRS announced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs,
Government of India through a press note dated January 22, 2010 (IFRS Convergence Note). The Ministry of
Corporate Affairs by a press release dated February 25, 2011 has notified that 32 Indian Accounting Standards are
20
to be converged with IFRS. The date of implementation of such converged Indian accounting standards has not yet
been determined and will be notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs after various tax related issues are
resolved. We have not yet determined with certainty what impact the adoption of IFRS will have on our financial
reporting. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders' equity may appear
materially different under IFRS than under Indian GAAP or our adoption of IFRS may adversely affect our reported
results of operations or financial condition. This may have a material adverse effect on the amount of income
recognized during that period.
48. Restrictions on foreign investment limit our ability to raise debt or capital outside India.
Indian laws constrain our ability to raise capital outside India through the issuance of equity or convertible debt
securities and restrict the ability of non-Indian companies to invest in us. Foreign investment in, or an acquisition of,
an Indian company requires approval from the relevant government authorities in India, including the Reserve
Board of India and the Foreign Investment Promotion Board.
49. Any downgrading of Indias debt rating by a domestic or international rating agency could negatively impact our
business.
Any adverse revisions to Indias credit ratings for domestic and international debt by domestic or international
rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other
commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have an adverse effect on our financial
results and business prospects, ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the price of our Equity Shares.
50. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could adversely affect the financial markets
and our business.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the Indian markets on which our Equity
Shares will trade. These acts may result in a loss of business confidence, make travel and other services more
difficult and have other consequences that could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, any
deterioration in international relations, especially between India and its neighboring countries, may result in investor
concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares. In addition, India
has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other
adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse impact on our business. Such incidents
could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could
have an adverse impact on our business and the market price of our Equity Shares.
51. Third party statistical and financial data in this Draft Prospectus may be incomplete or unreliable.
We have not independently verified any of the data from industry publications and other sources referenced in this
Draft Prospectus and therefore cannot assure you that they are complete or reliable. Discussions of matters relating
to India, its economies or the industries in which we operate in this Draft Prospectus are subject to the caveat that
the statistical and other data upon which such discussions are based may be incomplete or unreliable.
52. The Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 has
effected significant changes to the existing Indian company law framework, which may subject us to greater
compliance requirements and increase our compliance costs.
A majority of the provisions and rules under the Companies Act, 2013 have been notified and have come into effect
from the date of their respective notification, resulting in the corresponding provisions of the Companies Act, 1956
ceasing to have effect. The Companies Act, 2013 provides for, among other things, changes to the regulatory
framework governing the issue of capital by companies, corporate governance, audit procedures, corporate social
responsibility, specific compliance requirements such as obtaining prior approval from audit committee, board of
directors and shareholders for certain related party transactions and the requirements for independent directors,
directors liability, class action suits, and the inclusion of women directors on the boards of companies. The
Companies Act, 2013 is expected to be complemented by a set of rules that shall set out the procedure for
compliance with the substantive provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. In the absence of such rules, it is difficult
to predict with any degree of certainty the impact, adverse or otherwise, of the Companies Act, 2013 on the issue,
and on the business, prospects and results of operations of the Company.
21
To ensure compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, we may need to allocate additional resources, which may increase our
regulatory compliance costs and divert management attention.
Risks relating to the Equity Shares
53. Any future issue of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and sales of our Equity Shares by our
Promoters or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any future equity issues by us, including in a primary offering, may lead to the dilution of investors' shareholdings
in us. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of its Equity Shares by the Promoters may adversely affect the
trading price of the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur
could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
54. Our ability to pay any dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows,
working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
The amount of our future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon our Companys future earnings, financial
condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, applicable Indian legal restrictions and
other factors. There can be no assurance that our Company will be able to pay dividends.
55. The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above
the Issue Price, or at all.
Prior to the offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the SME
Platform of BSE. The Issue Price of the Equity Shares may bear no relationship to the market price of the Equity
Shares after the Issue. The market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue may be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the
Education Sector, developments relating to India and volatility in the Exchange and securities markets elsewhere in
the world. However, the LM will arrange for compulsory market making for a period of 3 years from the date of
listing as per the regulations applicable to the SME Platforms under SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2009.
56. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the SME Platform of
BSE in a timely manner, or at all.
In terms of Chapter XB of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2009, as amended from time to time,we have applied to
BSE Limited to use its name as the Stock Exchange in this offer document for listing our shares on the SME
Platform of BSE. In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares
issued pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval
for listing and trading will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted.
There could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the SME Platform of BSE. Any failure or delay in
obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
57. The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, or an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not
develop.
Prior to this Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares. Guiness Securities Limited is acting as
Designated Market Maker for the Equity Shares of our Company. However, the trading price of our Equity Shares
may fluctuate after this Issue due to a variety of factors, including our results of operations and the performance of
our business, competitive conditions, general economic, political and social factors, the performance of the Indian
and global economy and significant developments in Indias fiscal regime, volatility in the Indian and global
securities market, performance of our competitors, the Indian Capital Markets, changes in the estimates of our
performance or recommendations by financial analysts and announcements by us or others regarding contracts,
acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments. In addition, if the stock markets
experience a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline for reasons unrelated
to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our Equity Shares might also decline in
reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of
these factors, among others, could materially affect the price of our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that an
active trading market for our Equity Shares will develop or be sustained after this Issue, or that the price at which
our Equity Shares are initially offered will correspond to the prices at which they will trade in the market subsequent
22
to this Issue. For further details of the obligations and limitations of Market Makers please refer to the section titled
General Information Details of the Market Making Arrangement for this Issue on page 40 of this Draft
Prospectus.
58. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a
shareholders ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time.
Following the Issue, we will be subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by BSE, which does not allow
transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates
independently of the index-based, market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock
exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breakers will be set by the stock exchanges based on the historical
volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The BSE may not inform us of the percentage limit
of the circuit breaker in effect from time to time and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker will
limit the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no
assurance can be given regarding your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell
your Equity Shares at any particular time.
59.
You will not be able to immediately sell any of the Equity Shares you subscribe to in this Offer on an Indian stock
exchange.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing of the Equity Shares will not be granted until
after the Equity Shares in this Issue have been allotted. Approval will require all other relevant documents
authorising the issuing of the Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be failure or delays in listing the Equity
Shares on the Stock Exchange.
Further, pursuant to Indian regulations, certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed
and commence trading. Investors demat accounts with Depository Participants are expected to be credited within
three Working Days of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Designated Stock
Exchange. Thereafter, upon receipt of final approval from the Designated Stock Exchange, trading in the Equity
Shares is expected to commence within six Working Days from Issue Closing Date.
We cannot assure you that the Equity Shares will be credited to the investors demat account, or that the trading in
the Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approvals
would restrict your ability to dispose of the Equity Shares.
60. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company
are generally taxable in India. Any gain realised on the sale of shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12
months will not be subject to capital gains tax in India if the securities transaction tax (STT) has been paid on the
transaction. The STT will be levied on and collected by an Indian stock exchange on which equity shares are sold.
Any gain realised on the sale of shares held for more than 12 months to an Indian resident, which are sold other
than on a recognised stock exchange and as a result of which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term
capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realised on the sale of shares held for a period of 12 months or less will
be subject to capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period
of 12 months or less which are sold other than on a recognised stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid,
will be subject to short term capital gains tax at a relatively higher rate as compared to the transaction where STT
has been paid in India.Capital gains arising from the sale of shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases
where an exemption is provided under a tax treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident.
Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit Indias ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other
countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdictions on gains arising from a sale of the shares
subject to relief available under the applicable tax treaty or under the laws of their own jurisdiction.

Cordial customer relationship: We are in the Consumer durables Industry and it is highly demand oriented. Demand is time
bound and any delay in meeting deadlines results in loss of business. Our endeavour is to constantly try to address customer
needs around a variety of products. Our existing customer relationships help us to get repeat business from our customers.
This has helped us maintain a long term working relationship with our customers and improve our customer retention
strategy.
Our Strategy:
Enhance our presence across India:-We intend to expand our presence geographically in terms of number of outlets. Fast
developing smaller towns are currently under-served and there is a huge scope for organized retailing of consumer durables

expand our reach and penetrate into the large available market by expanding our network of retail outlets.
Strengtheing of Brand:-We intend to invest in developing and enhancing our brand image, through brand building efforts,
communication and promotional initiatives such as advertisements in print media, hoardings, televisions, organizing events,
and participation in industry events, etc. This is a continuous exercise which would increase the brand image resulting in an
increase of sales and profitability.
Training to our employees:- Training is teaching or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge that relate to
specific useful competencies.Training has specific goals of improving one's capability productivity and performance. We
believe that one of the keys to our success is our ability to train and grow our team of employees consisting of sales and
support staff. We shall endeavor to continue and strengthen our training programs on various aspects viz., relationship
management, etiquettes, client orientation, product know-how, accounts & bills management, customer feedback, etc. With
the in-house and on-the-job training, we believe that effectiveness of employees increases in implementation of business
plans, building customer relationships and generation of ideas at store level.
Maintain our focus on long term relationships:-We believe in further developing and maintaining long term sustainable
relationships with suppliers, customers and employees which will help us in achieving the goals set, particularly in view of
entering into new markets. We offer wide range of products, latest trends and competitive pricing which will help us achieve
customer satisfaction and build long term relationships, which will translate into repeat sales.
Product Diversification:- We propose to continue to regularly improve our product portfolio by upgrading and introducing
new models / product range so as to cater to the growing demands of our consumers.
Enhance our customer base:-Our Company intends to grow business continuously by adding new customers and thereby
grow revenues. We aim to do this by effective leveraging of our marketing skills & relationship and further enhancing
customer satisfaction.
Up-gradation of Information Technology systems & processes:- We intent to have an efficient information technology
system & processes to monitor the movement of goods and manage the network of outlets which can accurately track the
movement of goods through Point of Sale (POS) allowing us to assess procurement levels and stock our outlets with
optimum level of inventory. We can have a control on the stocks, pricing and promotions, replenish stock, quality control, instore good shuffling, customer details, billing etc. with the upgraded technology systems in place. Improvement in systems
and processes would help us scale up operations with less hindrance.

collateral security for loans granted by such banks or financial institutions, in the event the pledge of the Equity Shares is one
of the terms of the sanction of the loan. The Promoters Contribution may be pledged only if in addition to the above stated,
the loan has been granted by such banks or financial institutions for the purpose of financing one or more of the objects of
this Issue.

Since the entire fund requirements are to be financed from the Issue Proceeds, there is no requirement to make
firm arrangements of finance under Regulation 4(2)(g) of the SEBI Regulations through verifiable means
towards 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amounts to be raised through the Issue.
The fund requirements, the deployment of funds and the intended use of the Issue Proceeds as described herein
are based on management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank, financial institution. Our
Company operates in competitive environment, in view of the same, our Company may have to revise our

business conditions, increased competition and other external factors which may not be within the control of our
management. This may entail rescheduling and/or revising the planned expenditure and funding requirements
57
and increasing or decreasing the expenditure for a particular purpose from the planned expenditure at the
discretion of our management. Our Companys historical capital expenditure may not be reflective of our future
capital expenditure plans.
In case of any increase in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the Objects, such additional funds for a
particular activity will be met by our Company through various means, including from internal accruals and/or
short term/long term financial arrangements. In the events that the estimated utilisation of the Issue Proceeds in

utilization towards any of the Objects is lower than the proposed deployment such balance will be used for
future growth opportunities including funding other existing objects, if required and towards general corporate

Proceeds.

Our Company proposes to utilise Rs. 482.00 Lacs of the Net proceeds towards working capital requirements for
meeting our business requirement.
The incremental working capital requirements are based on Companys historical data and estimation of the
future requirements in the financial year 2016-17 considering the growth in activities of our Company.
Our Debtors cycle was of about 0.75 days and 0.56 days in the financial year 2014-15 and 2015-16. We have
assumed that our debtor cycle will be 0.90 days for the financial year 2016-17. Similarly we estimated currents
assets, trade payables, current liabilities, short term provisions in the line with working employed in the past
year and estimated to be employed in financial year 2016-17.
Justification for Holding period levels
The Justifications for the holding levels mentioned in the table above are provided below
Assets-Current assets
Inventories
We expect inventory holding days to be 44.90 days for
FY 2016-17 as the price of electronic items is
fluctuating in accordance with the demand and supply
of its products. Holding the inventory for larger
number of days will enable the company to reap the
profits in case where the demand is high.
Trade Receivables
We expect Trade Receivables Holding days to be 0.90
days for FY 2016-17 as the electronic market is highly

Bridge Financing

requirement, we might consider raising bridge financing facilities, pending receipt of the proceeds of the Issue.
Appraisal by Appraising Agency
None of the objects have been appraised by any bank or financial institution or any other independent third party
organisation. The funding requirements of our Company and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are
currently based on management estimates. However the funding requirements of our Company are dependent on
a number of factors which may not be in the control of our management, including variations in interest rate
structures, changes in our financial condition and current commercial conditions and are subject to change in
light of changes in external circumstances or in our financial condition, business or strategy.
Shortfall of Funds
Any shortfall in meeting the objects will be met by way of internal accruals.
Interim use of Funds
Our Company, in accordance with the policies established by the Board from time to time, will have flexibility
to deploy the Issue proceeds. The Issue proceeds of the Issue pending utilization for the purposes stated in this
section shall be deposited only in Scheduled Commercial Banks included in the Second Schedule of Reserve
Bank of India Act, 1934. In accordance with Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, our Company confirms
that it shall not use the proceeds of the Issue for any investment in the equity markets.
Monitoring of Utilization of Funds
There is no requirement for a monitoring agency as the Issue size is less than Rs.50,000 lakhs. Pursuant to
Regulation 32(3) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, our Company shall on a half yearly basis disclose to the
Audit Committee the uses and application of the Issue Proceeds. Until such time as any part of the Issue
Proceeds remains unutilized, our Company will disclose the utilization of the Issue Proceeds under separate
heads in our Companys balance sheet(s) clearly specifying the amount of and purpose for which Issue Proceeds
have been utilized so far, and details of amounts out of the Issue Proceeds that have not been utilized so far, also
indicating interim investments, if any, of such unutilized Issue Proceeds. In the event that our Company is
unable to utilize the entire amount that we have currently estimated for use out of the Issue Proceeds in a fiscal
year, we will utilize such unutilized amount in the next fiscal year.
Further, in accordance with Regulation 32(1)(a) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, our Company shall furnish to
the Stock Exchanges on a half yearly basis, a statement indicating material deviations, if any, in the utilization
of the Issue Proceeds for the objects stated in this Draft Prospectus.
Variation in Objects
In accordance with Section 27 of the Companies Act 2013, our Company shall not vary object of the Issue
without our Company being authorized to do so by our shareholders in relation to the passing of such special
resolution shall specify the prescribed details as required under the Companies Act and shall be published in
accordance with the Companies Act and the rules thereunder. As per the current provisions of the Companies
Act, our Promoters or controlling shareholders would be required to provide an exit opportunity to such
shareholders who do not agree to the proposal to vary the objects, at such price, and in such manner as may be
prescribed by SEBI in this regard.
Other confirmations
There is no material existing or anticipated transactions with our Promoters, our Directors, our Companys Key
Managerial Personnel and Group Entities, in relation to the utilisation of the proceeds of the Issue. No part of
the issue proceeds will be paid by us as consideration to our Promoters, our Directors or Key Managerial
Personnel or our Group Entities, except in the normal course of business and in compliance with the applicable
laws.

Stamp duty in relation to certain specified categories of instruments as specified under Entry 91 of the list, is
governed by the provisions of the Indian Stamp Act,1899 which is enacted by the Central Government. All
others instruments are required to be stamped, as per the rates prescribed by the respective State Governments.
Stamp duty is required to be paid on all the documents that are registered and as stated above the percentage of
stamp duty payable varies from one State to another. Certain State in India have enacted their own legislation in
relation to stamp duty while the other State have adopted and amended the Stamp Act, as per the rates
applicable in the State. On such instruments stamp duty is payable at the rates specified in Schedule I of the
Stamp Act. Instruments chargeable to duty under the Stamp Act which are not duly stamped are incapable of
being admitted in court as evidence of the transaction contained therein. The Stamp Act also provides for
impounding of instruments which are not sufficiently stamped or not stamped at all. Unstamped and deficiently
stamped instruments can be impounded by the authority and validated by payment of penalty. The amount of
penalty payable on such instruments may vary from State to State.
The Specific Relief Act, 1963
The Specific Relief Act is complimentary to the provisions of the Contract Act and the Transfer of Property Act,
as the Act applies both to movable property and immovable property. The Act applies in cases where the Court
can order specific performance of a contract. Specific relief can be granted only for purpose of enforcing
individual civil rights and not for the mere purpose of enforcing a civil law. Specific performance means Court
will ask the party to perform his part of agreement, instead of asking him to pay damages to other party.
Consumer Protection Act, 1986
The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 seeks to provide better protection of interests of the consumers and for that
purpose to make provision for establishment of consumer councils and other authorities for the settlement of
consumers disputes and for matters connected therewith. It seeks to promote and protect the rights of
83
consumers. To provide steady and simple redressal to consumers disputes, a quasi-judicial machinery is sought
to be set up at the district, state and central levels. The quasi-judicial bodies will observe the principles of
natural justices and have been empowered to give relieves of a specific nature and to award wherever
appropriate compensation to consumers. Penalties for non-compliance of the orders given by the quasi-judicial
bodies have also been provided.
The Bihar Shops & Establishments Act, 1953
The Bihar Shops & Establishments Act, 1953 regulates the conditions of work and employment in shops and
commercial establishments and generally prescribe obligations in respect of registration, opening and closing
hours, daily and weekly working hours, holidays, leave, health and safety measures and wages for overtime
work.
The Companies Act, 1956
The Companies Act, 1956 deals with laws relating to companies and certain other associations. It was enacted
by the parliament in 1956. The Act primarily regulates the formation, financing, functioning and winding up of
companies. The Companies Act, 1956 prescribes regulatory mechanism regarding all relevant aspects, including
organizational, financial and managerial aspects of companies. It deals with issue, allotment and transfer of
securities and various aspects relating to company management. It provides for standard of disclosure in public
issues of capital, particularly in the fields of company management and projects, information about other listed
companies under the same management, and management perception of risk factors. In the functioning of the
corporate sector, although freedom of companies is important, protection of the investors and shareholders, on
whose funds they flourish, is equally important. The Companies Act, 1956 plays the balancing role between
these two competing factors, namely, management autonomy and investor protection.

these estimates. Differences between the actual result and estimates are recognized in periods in which
the results are known/ materialized.

impairment loss, if any. The cost of an asset comprises of its purchase price and any directly
attributable cost of bringing the assets to working condition for its intended use. Expenditure on
additions, improvements and renewals is capitalized and expenditure for maintenance and repairs is
charged to profit and loss account.
D. Depreciation:

Straight Line Method (SLM) basis for all tangible and intangible assets using the rates prescribed under
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Depreciation on fixed assets purchased after April 1, 2014
is calculated on Straight Line Method (SLM) basis for all tangible and intangible assets using the rates

oversubscription, the allotment will be made on a proportionate basis in marketable lots as set forth here:
1. The total number of shares to be allocated to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a proportionate basis i.e. the
total number of shares applied for in that category multiplied by the inverse of the over subscription ratio (number of
applicants in the category x number of shares applied for).
2. The number of shares to be allocated to the successful applicants will be arrived at on a proportionate basis in
marketable lots (i.e. total number of shares applied for into the inverse of the over subscription ratio).
3. For applications where the proportionate allotment works out to less than 8,000 equity shares the allotment will be made
as follows:
a) Each successful applicant shall be allotted 8,000 Equity Shares; and
b) The successful applicants out of the total applicants for that category shall be determined by the drawal of lots in such a
manner that the total number of shares allotted in that category is equal to the number of shares worked out as per (2)
above.
4. If the proportionate allotment to an applicant works out to a number that is not a multiple of 8,000 equity shares, the
number in excess of the multiple of 8,000 would be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 8,000, subject to minimum
allotment of 8,000 Equity Share.
5. If the shares allotted on a proportionate basis to any category is more than the shares allotted to the applicants in that
category, the balance available shares for allocation shall be first adjusted against any category, where the allotted shares
are not sufficient for proportionate allotment to the successful applicants in that category, the balance shares, if any,
remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising of applicants applying for the minimum number
of shares. If as a result of the process of rounding off to the lower nearest multiple of 8,000 equity shares, results in the
actual allotment being higher than the shares offered, the final allotment may be higher at the sole discretion of the Board
of Directors, up to 110% of the size of the offer specified under the Capital Structure mentioned in this Draft Prospectus.

shares applied for.
