Once the performance obligation is fulfilled and milestones for invoicing are achieved, contract assets are classified to trade receivables. Such unbilled revenue is classified as non-financial asset because the right to consideration depends on completion of contractual milestones.
Contract liabilities include advances received from customers as well as deferred revenue representing transaction price allocated to outstanding performance obligations.

36 Segment information Basis of segmentation
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's Managing Director (MD) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The Company has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the Company's strategic business units. These business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different marketing strategies. For each of the business units, the Company's MD reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
The MD monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Accordingly, the company has identified following as its reportable segment for the purpose of Ind AS 108:
a) Real estate segment;
b) Contractual and manufacturing segment.
Real Estate segment (RE) comprises development, sale, management and operation of all or any part of townships, housing projects, also includes leasing of self owned commercial premises.
The operation of the Contractual and Manufacturing segment (CM) comprises development of commercial premises and other related activities, also includes manufacturing activities related to interiors, glazing and metal works and concrete products.
Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements. Also, the Company's financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a overall basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
The following tables present revenue and profit information for the Company's operating segments for the year ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 respectively:
Capital expenditure consists of additions of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investment property, investment property under development and intangible assets under development.
Information of revenue and non-current operating assets based on location has not been furnished since there are no revenue generated from business activities outside India and there are no non-current operating assets held by the Company outside India.
A) Defined benefit plan
The Company has gratuity as defined benefit retirement plans for its employees. The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity at the rate of 15 days basic salary for each year of service until the retirement age. As at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 the plan assets were invested in insurer managed funds.
It is exposed to the following types of risks:
Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G.Sec. Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan's liability.
Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company.
The following tables set out the funded status of gratuity plans and amount recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans:
38 Leases
A The Company as a lessor
Assets given on operating lease:
The Company has entered into operating lease agreements with its lessees. Total lease rental income recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the year is ?374.80 (31 March 2023: ?318.09)
B The Company as a lessee
The Company has leases for building, vehicles and plant and machinery. With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for lease on buildings for which it was agreed that the company shall pay a security deposit which shall be adjusted to the minimum lease payments and due to which no lease liability in the same was created and the amount given as security deposit is treated as Right of use asset depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease period. Variable lease payments which do not depend on an index or a rate are excluded from the initial measurement of the lease liability and right of use assets. The Company has presented its right-of-use assets in the balance sheet separately from other assets.
Lease arrangements for vehicles contain an option to extend the lease for a further term till the vehicle is handed over to the lessor after the end of lease term as per agreement or for a fixed tenure of 3 to 9 months as the case may be as per the requirement of Lessee. The Company is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying leased assets as security. For leases over Factory buildings, the Company must repair and maintain those properties in a good state and return the properties with all connections, sanitary, water and drainage fittings and fixtures as it may exist on the relevant date.

Note: Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements/decisions pending with various forums/authorities.
The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceeding to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. The Company does not expect any reimbursement in respect of above contingent liability.
1) The Income Tax Authorities have disputed the tax computation for certain years, which are pending before various forums. Based on the grounds of the appeals, the management believes that there is a reasonably strong likelihood of obtaining a favourable order. Any income, which may arise out of such litigations will be recognised only on the receipt basis/ or where right to receive such income is clearly established. Pending the final decisions on the above matter, no adjustment has been made in these standalone financial statements.
2) There are various disputes pending with the authorities of customs, service tax and value added tax. The Company is contesting these demands raised by authorities and are pending at various appellate authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liabilities where applicable, in its standalone financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position.
3) There are various litigations going on/ complaints filed against the Company primarily in Consumer Redressal Forum and under the Real Estate Regulation Act 2016. The Company is contesting such litigations with the respective appellate authorities. The management has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required in its separate financial statements. For most number of litigations/ complaints, based on the grounds of the appeals, the management believes that there is a reasonably strong likelihood of succeeding before these authorities and hence, pending the final decisions on the above matters, no adjustment has been made in these standalone financial statements.
4) The Company had entered into a Joint Development Arrangement with certain land owners in Gurugram, Haryana, in earlier years. In respect of this transaction, the Enforcement Directorate ('ED') after due investigation has filed a complaint with Adjudicating Authority, Prevention of Money Laundering ('AA-PML'), alleging certain irregularities in respect of the manner of allotment and pricing of certain plots under this project or payment of applicable fees and charges by the Company or the landowners, with respect to the terms and conditions mentioned in the development policy of Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act (HDRUAA), 1975 and the bilateral agreement between the land owners and Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Haryana (DTCP) resulting in provisional attachment under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 ('PMLA') of land parcels with value of ?2,016.05 , held by Technobuild Developers Private Limited ('TDPL'). The Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ('MoU') with TDPL for acquiring land parcels using advances extended by the Company. As per the MoU, TDPL and its affiliates cannot transfer land parcels without prior approval of the Company and the Company has absolute rights over land parcels acquired by TDPL and its affiliates acquired from such advance given by the Company.
During the previous year, the Company was in receipt of Show Cause Notice (SCN) under the PMLA from AA-PML and the Company had duly filed detailed responses to allegations made in SCN. During the current year, AA-PMLA has passed an order confirming the provisional attachment of the aforesaid land parcels and the Company has duly filed an appeal before The Appellate Tribunal against the AA-PML order under Section 26 of the PMLA.
The management, based on its overall assessment and independent legal opinion obtained, believes that these transactions have been carried out in accordance with all the applicable laws and regulations and the said bilateral agreement and has not
identified any adverse material impact to the standalone financial statement as at 31 March 2024 or for earlier periods including the recoverability of land advance given against such provisionally attached ?2,016.05 land parcels held by TDPL.
5) The Income Tax Department ("the Department”) conducted a Search under Section 132 of the Income Tax Act ('IT Act') ("the Search”) on the Company and certain group companies during March 2023. The Company and certain group companies at the time of search and subsequently has co-operated with the department and responded to the necessary clarifications, data and details as sought by the Department. The Company has received notices under Section 148 of the IT Act requiring the management to re-file the Income Tax returns for the Assessment Years (AY) 2015-16, AY 2017-18, AY 2018-19, AY 2019-20, 2020-21 and AY 2021-22. The Company has filed the returns for AY 2020-21 and AY 2021-22, and is in the process of filing the returns for the other years.
Additionally, during the current year ended 31 March 2024, the Company has received demand orders for AY 2016-17 under Section 147 read with Section 143(3) and Section 148B of the IT Act, dated 29 March 2024 raising a demand of ?131.23 (subsequently reduced to Nil vide rectification order under Section 154 of the IT Act, dated 14 May 2024 on account of adjustment of credit under Section 115JAA of the IT Act of tax paid in earlier years) and AY 2022-23 under Section 143(3) of the IT Act, dated 30 March 2024 raising a demand of ? 326.83 , by disallowing certain expenses and adding certain incomes during such periods, against which the Company has filed an appeal on 29 April 2024 before the Hon'ble Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Bengaluru ('CIT appeals').
While the uncertainty exists regarding the outcomes of the legal proceedings, the management of the Company has evaluated the demand orders after considering all available records and facts known to it and based on an independent legal review and opinion from external legal counsels and believes that the Company can succeed in the appeals filed against the aforesaid demand orders and accordingly has not identified any adjustments to the current or prior period standalone financial statements.
6) During the previous year, one of the customers of Sobha Assets Private Limited (SAPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has terminated a project development contract entered by it and demanded compensation of ?2,956.13 in addition to forfeiture of ?227.32 performance guarantee and ?26.00 of deposits alleging that SAPL has not commenced the contract work. The carrying value of aforesaid project related assets/receivables as at 31 March 2024 in the book of the Company and SAPL is?24.10 and ? 330.00 respectively. SAPL has filed arbitration petition before the arbitrator challenging the termination and its grounds, against the customer towards business loss and other receivables. The Company based on its overall assessment and independent legal opinion, believes that the aforesaid termination is illegal and will not have any adverse impact to the standalone financial statement and accordingly no provision has been made.
7) In earlier year, the Company, during the process of renewal of fire clearances for one of the project, procured by an entrusted person, found the fire NOC and fire clearances submitted to local municipal body to be defective. On becoming aware of this fact, the Company had immediately taken remedial steps and obtained renewed fire NOC and fire clearances, which were then resubmitted with the local municipal body for regularization. During the previous year, the local municipal body had passed an order dated 21 January 2023 revoking/cancelling the modified sanction plan ('Plan') and occupancy certificate ('OC') for the project, based on a complaint being filed upon by one of the unit holders of such project. The Company had immediately filed an appeal with Karnataka Appellate Tribunal ('KAT') challenging the above order, and KAT had passed an interim order dated 1 February 2023 granting stay of revocation/cancellation of Plan and OC.
During the current year, the Chief Civil Metropolitan Magistrate ('CMM'), Bengaluru, has passed an order dated 19 September 2023 ('impugned order') to register a calendar case for the offences punishable under Indian Penal Code ('IPC') against the Company and few employees of the Company, based on a separate complaint filed with the CMM by the aforementioned unit holder. The Company has filed a petition before Hon'ble High court of Karnataka praying for quashing of the complaint, the impugned order and the calendar case, wherein, the High court of Karnataka has passed an interim order dated 11 October 2023 staying the impugned order and the calendar case. The management, based on its overall assessment and independent legal opinion obtained, believes that allegations made by the unit holder are baseless, false and not sustainable and the impugned order suffers from arbitrariness and liable to be quashed under section 482 of the code of criminal procedure, 1973. Accordingly, the Company believes that outcome of the above proceedings will not result in any adverse impact on the standalone financial statement.
8) The Company is involved in certain litigations for lands being developed/ acquired by it for construction purposes, either through a Joint Development Agreement or through outright purchases. These cases are pending with the Civil Courts and scheduled for hearings. After considering the facts and circumstances of each case in detail, and post consideration of the opinions of the in-house legal council, management believes that these litigations will not have a material effect on the standalone financial statements.
9) The Company has certain litigations pending at various forums/ courts against various authorities including the Forest department, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (PCB), local municipal departments on certain projects undertaken by it. Also, certain claims have been laid upon the company under the Land acquisition act, against which the Company has filed writ petitions and obtained stay orders from the Honourable High Courts. The impact of all such litigations and claims is not quantifiable. Based on internal assessment, and post consideration of the opinion of its in-house legal counsel, the management is confident that the matter would be decided in its favour, accordingly no adjustment has been made in these standalone financial statements.
B) Commitments
(a) The contractual commitments pending for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as at 31 March 2024 is ?502.18 (31 March 2023: ?263.96)

During the year ended 31 March 2024, the Company incurred ?49.65 (31 March 2023 - ?129.37) towards aircraft usage as per the agreement.
Notes:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
There have been no transfers between the levels during the year.
Financial instruments such as trade receivables, loans, cash and other financial assets, borrowings, lease liabilities, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to their short term nature. For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortised cost, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
41 Financial risk management
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include instruments, trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, land advances and refundable deposits that derive directly from its operations. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments.
Risk Management policy
The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by a risk management committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The risk management committee provides assurance to the Company's senior management that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of: interest rate risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity/ real estate risk. The Company has a foreign currency exposure as at balance sheet date, which is not material.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023. The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt and the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt. The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post retirement obligations.
The below assumption has been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.
(i) Interest rate 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 long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate of borrowings. The Company does not enter into any interest rate swaps.
The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage the price risk arising from investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio of assets. There are no investments held by the company which are measured at fair value either through profit and loss or fair value through other comprehensive income, hence the Company is not exposed to price risk.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that 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 primarily from trade receivables (net of advances/ payables), refundable joint development deposits, security deposits, loans and other financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The carrying amounts of financial assets, unbilled revenue and contract assets represent the maximum credit exposure.
The Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial/ contract assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial/ contract assets.
ii. Trade receivables
The Company divides its receivables in the following categories based on the credit risk associated with such categories Category A - Receivables resulting from sale of properties: Customer credit risk is managed by requiring customers to
pay advances before transfer of ownership, therefore, substantially eliminating the Company's credit risk in this respect. Company recognises impairment on a specific identification basis for debtors where no security exists.
Category B - Receivables from related parties: The Company has performs construction services for its subsidiaries which have individual real estate projects. Credit risk in such cases is managed as control is established; Also, such subsidiaries manage their credit risks by requiring their customers to pay in advance, before transfer of ownership. For other related parties, the Company actively manages such credit risk by an established process of inter-party reconciliations, follow ups and active business at an arms length price.
Category C - Receivables resulting from other than sale of properties: Credit risk is managed by each business unit (primarily pertaining to the contractual and manufacturing business subdivisions) subject to the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients, who have a history of prompt payment for more than 5 years with the Company. For other customers, impairment is tested collectively based on the business sub-segment in which they operate. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company's credit period generally ranges from 30-90 days.
No single customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the trade receivable balance of the company as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.
iii. Other financial assets measured at amortised cost
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost includes refundable deposits paid under joint development arrangements, security deposits, loans to related parties, and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system are in place ensure the amounts are within defined limits.
b. Recognition of Expected credit losses
i. Financial assets with credit risk classified as 'low'/ 'medium'
Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets other than trade receivables by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses.
For cash & cash equivalents, other bank balances and derivative financial instruments - Since the Company deals with only highrated banks and financial institutions, credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, other bank balances and bank deposits is evaluated as very low.
For refundable deposits (RD) under joint development arrangements (JDA) and security deposits - Credit risk is considered low because the Company is in possession of the underlying asset.
For trade receivables (category A and B) and other financial assets - Credit risk is evaluated based on Company knowledge of the credit worthiness of those parties and loss allowance is measured. For such financial assets, the Company policy is to provide for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses/ specific allowance upon significant increase in credit risk.
ii. Financial assets with credit risk classified as 'high'
For trade receivables (Category C) - The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit losses of such trade and finance receivables. The measurement is made collectively based on the business sub-segment in which the respective customers operate. Loss rates are separately measured for customers which have a history of prompt payment, and are not significantly past due from payment. Based on the industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates, management considers that the trade receivables and loans are in default (credit impaired) if the payments are more than 730 days past due (Net of advances/ payables). Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past eleven quarters. In the current year, the Company has revised its estimation of loss rates.
Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasury department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Company's Finance Committee. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through a counterparty's potential failure to make payments. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023 is the carrying amounts.
C. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.
The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank deposits and loans. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:
42 Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's 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 Company's capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing borrowings.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's 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.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.
