k) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to
be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and
loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage
of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities:
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation arising 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 or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because;
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence and other required disclosures in
notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote
l) Retirement and other employee benefits:
Defined Contribution Plan
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund and Employeesâ State Insurance Corporation are defined contribution
schemes. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund and Employeesâ
State Insurance Corporation. The Company recognizes contribution made under these schemes as an expense, when an
employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the schemes for service received before the balance
sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after
deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received
before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for
example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit
plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in
net interest on the net defined benefit liability, are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit
or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit
or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:
> The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
> The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises
the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the Standalone statement of profit and loss:
> Service cost comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine
settlements; and
> Net interest expense or income.
m) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.

deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs
cash management.
n) Statement of Cash flow:

the effects of transactions of noncash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The
cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated in the Cash flow statement.
o) Earnings per share (EPS):
Basic EPS amount is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average
number of equities shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit of the year attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
p) Dividend:
The Company recognizes a liability to pay dividend to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorized,
and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is
authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

Note 33: Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categorises the values into 3 levels. The inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:
Level 1: This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques
which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on Company specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. The Company has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, bank balances,
other than cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets (except derivatives), trade payables and
other financial liabilities (except derivatives) because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Further, for financial assets, the Company has taken into consideration impairment allowances and adjusted the carrying
values where applicable.
2. The fair values of the quoted investments/units of mutual fund schemes are based on market price/ net asset value at the
reporting date.
3. The fair values for loans given are calculated based on discounted cash flows using current lending rates and individual
credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of
these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments are not materially different from their carrying values.
4. Fair values of the Company''s interest-bearing borrowings are determined by using discounted cash flow method using
the current borrowing rates. Fair value of such instruments are not materially different from their carrying values. The own
non-performance risk as at March 31,2025 was assessed to be insignificant.
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payable, short term borrowings, bank
overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these
instruments and are thus measured at amortized cost.
Note 34: Financial Risk Management Objectives & Policies:-
The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprises of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose
of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The
Company also holds FVTPL investments.
It has an integrated financial risk management system which proactively identifies monitors and takes precautionary and
mitigating measures in respect of various identified risks.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs senior management oversees the
management of these risks, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of financial risks. All the
derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have appropriate skills, experience
and supervision. It is the Companyâs policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.The Board
of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market price. Market risk comprises three types of risk:interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings , deposits, FVTPL investments and derivative
financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments.
The finance department undertakes management of cash resources, hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures,
borrowing mechanism and ensuring compliance with market risk limits.
Interest Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates.The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s
debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company is not very significantly exposed to interest rate risk except the variations in RBI Repo rate or Bank''s MCLR rates
as most of the borrowings are linked to these. 1% changes in interest rate will increase the borrowing cost by Rs 28.63 lakhs.
The Company does not have significant investment in Bank Deposits and hence not significantly exposed to Interest rate
sensitivity.
1% changes in interest rate will decrease the other income by '' 9.69 lakhs.
Foreign currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
exchange rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Companyâs
operating activities and the Companyâs net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company has no borrowings in foreign currency as on March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: '' Nil) and hence no foreign
currency risk.
Unhedged foreign currency exposure as at the reporting date expressed in INR are as follows :
As at balance sheet date, the Companyâs net foreign currency exposure (receivable) that is not hedged is Rs. 2,271.41 lakhs
(March 31,2024: Rs. 1,816.46 lakhs).
Foreign currency sensitivity
For the year ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024, every 5% depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the
Indian rupee and U.S. dollar, would have affected the Companyâs incremental operating margins by approximately amounts as
shown below. The Companyâs exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.
Equity Price Risk
The Companyâs listed and non-listed equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future
values of the investment securities. The Company manages the equity price risk through diversification and by placing limits on
individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Companyâs senior management on
a regular basis.
In order to manage its price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, exchange traded funds and investments in equity
instruments, the Company diversifies its portfolio.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading
to a financial loss.The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivable) and from its
financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions,foreign exchange transactions and other financial
instruments. The Company only deals with parties which has good credit rating/worthiness given by external rating agencies or
based on Company''s internal assessment.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a
repayment plan with the Company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in
enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised as income in
the statement of profit and loss.
Cash and cash equivalents and deposits:
Balances and deposits with banks are subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to the banks.
Cash and cash equivalents and deposits:
Balances and deposits with banks are subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to the banks.
Loans:
The Company has given loans to certain unrelated parties. The Company has made provisions in case where there is risk of
loan recovery.
The Company has given loans to certain related parties. (refer note 7d)
Trade and other receivables:

trend,industry practices and business environment in which the entity operates.Loss rates are based on actual credit loss
experience and past trends.
During the year the Company has written off an amount of '' NIL (March 31,2024: '' NIL) as the same were not recoverable.
No significant changes in estimation techniques or assumptions were made during the reporting period.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The
Company''s finance department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management and then processes
related to such risks are overseen by senior management through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
Maturity profile of financial liabilities
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date
Capital Management
For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other
equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Companyâs capital management
is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise
returns to our shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on managementâs judgement of the appropriate
balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. We consider the amount of capital in proportion to
risk and manage the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying
assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Company''s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor,
creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate
steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it
meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements.
Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been
no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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.

The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities:
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because;

On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1,2023, as below:
(i) Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to Ind AS 8
The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. It has also been clarified how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments had no impact on the Companyâs financial statements.
(ii) Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to Ind AS 1
The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their âsignificantâ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their âmaterialâ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments have had an impact on the Companyâs disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Companyâs financial statements.
(iii) Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - Amendments to Ind AS 12
The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under Ind AS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases.
The Company previously recognised for deferred tax on leases on a net basis. As a result of these amendments, the Company has recognised a separate deferred tax asset in relation to its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability in relation to its right-of-use assets.

Note 34: Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categorises the values into 3 levels. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:
Level 1: This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on Company specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. The Company has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, other than cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets (except derivatives), trade payables and other financial liabilities (except derivatives) because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value. Further, for financial assets, the Company has taken into consideration impairment allowances and adjusted the carrying values where applicable.
2. The fair values of the quoted investments/units of mutual fund schemes are based on market price/ net asset value at the reporting date.
3. The fair values for loans given are calculated based on discounted cash flows using current lending rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments are not materially different from their carrying values.
4. Fair values of the Company''s interest-bearing borrowings are determined by using discounted cash flow method using the current borrowing rates. Fair value of such instruments are not materially different from their carrying values. The own non-performance risk as at March 31,2023 was assessed to be insignificant.

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Gratuity liability, wherever applicable, is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation done as per projected unit credit method, carried out by an independent actuary at the end of the year. The Companyâs gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
k) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash comprise of cash on hand and demand deposits at the bank. Cash equivalents comprise of short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and demand deposit, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management.
l) Cash flow statement:
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of noncash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated in the Cash flow statement.
m) Earning per share:
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit of the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
n) Non-current assets held for sale:
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale to owners are not depreciated or amortized.
o) Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
p) Investment Property:
An investment in land or building, which is not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit
and loss as incurred.
Depreciation on building component of investment property is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rate arrived at based on the useful life estimated by the management which is 60 years.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee or on the basis of appropriate ready reckoner value based on recent market transactions.
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition.
q) Impairment of non-financial assets:
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or cash-generating unitâs (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Companyâs CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the assetâs or CGUâs recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the assetâs recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds neither its recoverable amount nor the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Some of the significant accounting judgement and estimates are given below:
Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assetâs expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets.
Note 26 : Net employment defined benefit liabilities
For the company an amount of ^ 65,43,435 (31st March, 2020: ^ 1,09,89,732) contributed to provident funds, ESIC and other funds is recognised by as an expense and included in âContibution to Provident & Other Fundsâ under âEmployee benefits expenseâ in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
As per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on resignation or retirement at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service.
The following tableâs summaries the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payable, short term borrowings, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments and are thus measured at amortized cost.
Note 30 : Financial Risk Management
The holding Companyâs principal financial liabilities, comprises of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations.
The holding Companyâs principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds investments.
The holding Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
A. Management of Market Risk
âThe holding Companyâs size and operations result in it being exposed to the following market risks that arise from its use of financial instruments:
a. interest rate risk
b. currency risk
The above risks may affect the Companyâs income or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of the Companyâs management of market risk is to maintain this risk within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns. The Companyâs exposure to, and management of, these risks is explained below.
a. Interest Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Companyâs debt obligations with floating interest rates. The following table provides a break-up of the Companyâs fixed and floating rate borrowings
B. Management of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract. The Companyis exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.
Trade receivable
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Companyâs established policy,
procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has diversified customer base considering the nature and type of business.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 7. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
Other Financial Assets
The Company maintains exposure in Cash and Cash equivaletns, term deposits with banks / financial institutions and investments in marketable debt investments including the government securities. The company has diversified portfolio of investment with various number of counter parties which have secure credit ratings hence the risk is low. The Companyâs maximum exposure to Credit risk as at March 31,2021 and 2020 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets as disclosed.
C. Management of Liquidity Risk
The holding Companyâs objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, and bank loans. 89% of the Companyâs borrowing will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2021 (31 March 2020: 98%) based on the carrying value of borrowings reflected in the financial statements. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has the ability to rollover debt maturing within 12 months with existing lenders.
For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Companyâs capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The holding Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to ourshareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on managementâs judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. We consider the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manage the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The holding Companyâs policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
