3.8 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events,
and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare, cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized
because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its
existence in the standalone financial statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity.
3.9 Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS iscalculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during theyear.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding forthe effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
3.10 Cash-flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted forthe effects of transactions
of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
regular revenue generating, investingand financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Company is an investment and finance company and therefore, purchase and sale of investments are considered as
part of "Cash flow from investing activities" and interest earned (net) and dividend earned are considered as part of
"Cash flow from operating activities".
3.11 Use of estimates, judgements and adjustments
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the standalone
financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are
based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
(i) Useful Economic Livesand Impairmentof Other Assets
The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment (PPE) is based on a number of factors including the effects
of obsolescence, usage of the asset and other economicfactors (such as known technological advances).
The Company reviews the useful life of PPE at the end of each reporting date and any changes could affect the
depreciation rates prospectively.
The Company also reviews its property, plant and equipment for possible impairment if there are events or changes in
circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In assessing the property,
plant and equipment for impairment, factors leading to significant reduction in profits, such as the Company''s
business plans and changes in regulatory environment are taken into consideration.
(ii) Contingencies and Commitments
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation, taxation and other claims against the
Company. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute
can be made based on management''s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external
advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not
provided for in the standalone financial statements.
Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, the Company does not
expectthem to have a materially adverse impact on the Company''s financial position or profitability.
(iii) Fair Value Measurements and Valuation Processes
Some of the Company''s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating
the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and
liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.

3.6 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that Is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare, cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity.
3.7 Earnings per share (EPS)
"Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.â
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

3.9 Use of estimates, judgementsand adjustments
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
i) Useful Economic Lives and Impairment of Other Assets
The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment (PPE) is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, usage of the asset and other economic factors (such as known technological advances).
The Company reviews the useful life of PPE at the end of each reporting date and any changes could affect the depreciation rates prospectively.
The Company also reviews its property, plant and equipment for possible impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In assessing the property, plant and equipment for impairment, factors leading to significant reduction in profits, such as the Company''s business plans and changes in regulatory environment are taken into consideration.
ii) Contingencies and Commitments
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation, taxation and other claims against the Company. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management''s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements.
Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on the Company''s financial position or profitability.
iii) FairValue Measurements and Valuation Processes
Some of the Company''s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value forfinancial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
¦v) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets For Carried Forward Tax Losses and Unused Tax Credit

This reserve represents the cumulative profits of the Company. This reserve can be utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Debt instruments through other comprehensive income

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in thefinancial statements.
The details of material accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed underthe accounting standards.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
(iii) Valuation technique used to determine Fair Value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
⢠the fair value of invetsment in quoted equity shares and mutual funds is measured at quoted price or NAV.
⢠the fair value of level 2 instruments is valued using inputs based on information about market participants assumptions and other data that are available.
(v) Significant estimates
The fair value offinancial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions see (ii) above.
(vi) Fair value of assets and liabilities measured atcost/amortised cost
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amount would be significantly different from the values that would be eventually received or settled. Management assessed that fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, Other financial assets and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts of these instruments, as discussed below:

The details of significant accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
(iii) Valuation technique used to determine Fair Value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
⢠the fairvalue of investment in quoted equity shares and mutual funds is measured at quoted price or NAV.
⢠the fair value of level 2 instruments is valued using inputs based on information about market participants assumptions and other data that are available.
(v) Significant estimates
The fairvalue of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions see (ii) above.
(vi) Fairvalue of assets and liabilities measured at cost/amortised cost
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amount would be significantly different from the values that would be eventually received or settled. Management assessed that fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, Other financial assets and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts of these instruments, as discussed below:
Financial risk management
The Company is a Non-Banking Financial Company registered with the Reserve Bank of India. On account of its business activities it is exposed to various financial risks associated with financials products such as credit or default risk, market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and inflationary risk. However, the Company has a robust financial risk management system in place to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate various risks associated with its financial products to ensure that desired financial objectives are met. The Company''s senior management is responsible for establishing and monitoring the risk management framework within its overall risk management objectives and strategies, as approved by the Board of Director. Such risk management strategies and objectives are established to identify and analyse potential risks faced by the Company, set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review the changes in market conditions and assess risk management performance. Any change in Company''s risk management objectives and policies needs prior approval of it''s Board of Directors.
This risk is common to all investors who invest in bonds and debt instruments and it refers to a situation where a particular bond/debenture issuer is unable to make the expected principal payment interest rate payment, or both. Similarly, a lender bears the risk that the borrower may default in the payment of contractual interest or principal on its debt obligation, or both. The entity continuously monitors defaults of the customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk control.
Market risk is a form of systematic risk associated with the day-to-day fluctuation in the market prices of shares and securities and such market risk affects all securities and investors in the same manner. These daily price fluctuations follows its own broad trends and cycles and are more news and transaction driven rather than fundamentals and many a times, it may affect the returns from an investment. Market risks majorly comprises of two types - interest rate risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include borrowings and investments.
Interest rate risk is a type of systematic risk that particularly affects fixed rate debt instruments like bonds and debentures. The value of the fixed-rate debt instruments generally decline due to rise in interest rates and vice versa. The rationale is that a bond is a promise of a future stream of payments; an investor will offer less for a bond that pays-out at a rate lower than the rates offered in the current market. A rising interest rate scenario also affects the Company''s interest expenditure on borrowed funds.
The Company monitors the interest rate scenarios on a regular basis and accordingly takes investments decisions as whether to invest in fixed rate debt instruments, shares and securities at a particular point of time.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. It arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments, bonds, mutual funds etc. The Company is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments carried at FVOCI which are valued using quoted prices in active markets. A sensitivity analysis demonstrating the impact of the change in market prices of these instruments from the prices existing as at the reporting date is given below:
Equity instrument through OCI being a component of other equity would increase/decrease as a result of gain/loss on equity securities classified as fairvalue through Other Comprehensive Income.
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity refers to the readiness of the Company to sell and realise its financial assets. Liquidity risk is one of the most critical risk factors for Companies which is into the business of investments in shares and securities. It is the risk of not being able to realise the true price of a financial asset, or is not being able to sell the financial asset at all because of non-availability of buyer Unwillingness to lend or restricted lending by Banks and Financial Institutions may also lead to liquidity concerns for the entities.
The Company maintains a well-diversified portfolio of investments in shares and securities . A dedicated team of market experts are monitoring the markets on a continuous basis, which advises the management for timely purchase or sale of securities. The management ensures to manage its cash flows and asset liability patterns to ensure that the financial obligations are satisfied in timely manner.
The following table shows the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts reported are on gross and undiscounted basis.
Inflationary risk:
Inflationary or purchasing power risk refers to the variation in investor returns caused by inflation. It is the risk that results in increase of the prices of goods and services which results in decrease of purchasing power of money, and likely negatively impact the value of investments. The two important sources of inflation are rising costs of production and excess demand for goods and services in relation to their supply. Inflation and interest rate risks are closely related as interest rates generally go up with inflation.
The Company closely monitors the inflation data and analyses the reasons for wide fluctuations thereof and its effect on various sectors and businesses. The main objective is to avoid inflationary risk and accordingly invest in securities and debt instruments that provides higher returns as compared to the inflation in long-term.
