Estimation of fair value

The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Since investment properties leased out by the Group are cancellable and non-cancellable leases, the market rate for sale/purchase of such premises are representative of fair values. Group’s investment properties are at a location where active market is available for similar kind of properties. Hence, fair value is ascertained on the basis of market rates prevailing for similar properties in those locations determined by an independent registered valuer, as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017, and consequently classified as a level 2 valuation.
