| Introduction |
| Kavitha had started the process of launching a saree manufacturing unit on leased land after undertaking a detailed study and obtaining all the required permissions. The manufacturing unit was called Kavitha Textile Manufacturers (KTM) and the process was started on April 1, 2018. Construction work for the unit was given to a construction company and it was estimated to be completed at a cost of Rs. 1 million. All the construction costs had to be borne by the construction company. However, Kavitha spent around Rs. 0.10 million on the preparation of the construction plan and on other consultancy charges. Simultaneously, Kavitha placed an order for manufacturing equipment. Once the orders had been processed, the suppliers of the manufacturing equipment visited the construction site and made arrangements for the installation of the equipment at the desired places. In addition to the price of the equipment, the suppliers charged an additional sum in the form of site preparation charges, delivery charges, and other installation and professional charges required to bring the equipment, install it in the plant, and make it ready for production
