These financial statements are prepared in accordance and conformity with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996. The significant accounting policies, which are in accordance with the SEBI Regulations and have been approved by the Board of Directors of the AMC and the Trustee, are stated below. (a) Determination of net asset value The net asset value of the units of the Scheme is determined separately for units issued under the Plans after including the respective unit capital and reserves and surplus, and reducing net deficit and accumulated discount, if any. For reporting the net asset values, the daily income earned, including realised profit or loss and unrealised gain or loss in the value of investments, and expenses incurred by the Scheme, are allocated to the Plans in proportion to their respective daily net assets as at the end of the immediately preceding day. Commission expenses are not allocated to the Direct Plans/ Options. (b) Unit capital Unit capital represents the net outstanding units at the balance sheet date, thereby reflecting all transactions relating to the year ended on that date. Upon issue and redemption of units, the net premium or discount to the face value of units is adjusted against the unit premium reserve of the Scheme, after an appropriate portion of the issue proceeds and redemption payouts is credited or debited respectively to the equalisation account, a mandatory requirement for open ended mutual fund Schemes. (c) Investments Accounting for investment transactions Foreign currency transactions Initial recognition Conversion Exchange differences Valuation of investments Purchase and sale of investments are recorded on the date of the transaction, at cost and sale price respectively, after considering brokerage, commission, securities transaction tax and fees payable or receivable, if any. The front end fee receivable, if any, is reduced from the cost of investment. In terms of SEBI circular no. CIR/IMD/DF/21/2012 dated September 13, 2012, brokerage and transaction costs (including all taxes) incurred for the purpose of execution of trade in excess of 0.12% in case of cash market transaction is charged to the Total Expense Ratio of the fund. Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are reported using an exchange rate prevalent on the valuation date / date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items of the scheme at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise. Effective July 1, 2016, investments in units of the foreign mutual fund are stated at the last declared or computed Net Asset Value as against the earlier practice of stating at the last declared Net Asset Value. These investments are translated into Indian rupees at the rate of exchange prevalent on the date of valuation/balance sheet. The net unrealised gain or loss in the value of investments is determined separately for each category of investments. The change in the net unrealised gain or loss, if any, between two balance sheet dates is recognised in the revenue account and thereafter net unrealised gain, if any, is transferred to unrealised appreciation reserve. The loss on investments sold/transferred during the period is charged to the revenue account. (d) Revenue recognition Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis.. Profit or loss on sale/redemption of investments is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method. Dividend income is recognised on the exdividend date and translated into Indian rupees at the rate of exchange prevalent on the exdividend date.

Pursuant to SEBI circular dated March 15, 2010, the method of calculating equalization per unit w.e.f. that date viz: a) When the sale price is higher than the face value of the unit, the total accumulated undistributed income (including realized gains) till the date of the transaction is determined. Based on the number of units outstanding on the transaction date, the undistributed income (including realized gains) associated with each unit is computed. The per unit amount so determined is credited and debited to the equalization account on issue and redemption of each unit respectively. b) When the sale price is lower than the face value of the unit, the difference between the Net asset value and the par value is debited and credited to the equalization account on issue and redemption of unit respectively. (f) Load charges Load charged upto 1% at the time of redemption of units prior to October 1, 2012 and Load charged at the time of purchase of units, wherever applicable, are being utilised towards meeting distribution and marketing expenses. In accordance with the SEBI Circular no. CIR/IMD/DF/21/2012 dated September 13, 2012, entire amount of Exit load/ CDSC collected is credited to the respective scheme net of taxes as "Other Income", as against the earlier practice of crediting any amount more than 1% of the exit load to the respective schemes as "Other Income" and balance towards marketing and selling expenses. Unutilised amount of load is carried forward to the subsequent period. If the amount is considered in excess by the AMC / Trustees, then such excess amount is credited to the respective Schemes as Other Income.
