3.15 Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities
The company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. The Company uses significant judgement to disclose contingent liabilities.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent Liability or Contingent assets are disclosed in Note 35 of the standalone financial statement.
3.16 Earning per Equity Share
Basic earnings per equity share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares), if any. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per equity share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable
to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The company has disclosed earning per share in Note 34 of the standalone financial statement.
3.17 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future receipts or payments. In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cheques on hand, balances with banks in current accounts and other short- term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, as applicable.
3.18 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs
3.19 Significant management judgment in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
When preparing the financial statements, management makes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
(A) Significant management judgment
The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
• Recognition of construction contract revenues
Recognising construction contract revenue requires significant judgement in determining actual work performed and the estimated costs to complete the work.
• Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilised. In addition, significant judgment is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.
(B) Estimation Uncertainity
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.
• Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash- generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
• Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO)
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as attrition rate, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses (as analysed in note 21)
• Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technological obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment.
• Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
i. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
ii. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that case management uses the best information available.
Current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
Considering the nature of business activities of the Company, the time between deploying of resources for projects / contracts and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current or noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
3.20 Related Party Transactions
Disclosure is being made separately for all the transactions with related parties in Note 39 of the financial statement as specified under IND AS 24 "Related Party Disclosure” issued by the Institute Chartered Accountants of India. All the transactions with related party are at arm length price.
3.21 Segment Reporting
The Company is engaged in the business of construction of Building, Transmission line providing turnkey services in water and wastewater collection, treatment and disposal and manufacturing of own items which are used for construction purposes.Information is reported to and evaluated regularly by the Co-operational Decision Maker (CODM) i.e. Managing Director for the purpose of resource allocation and assessing performance focuses on the business as whole.

3.22 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. Key amendments to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) which are applicable for the year ended 31st March 2025 are as follows:
IND AS 117- Insurance Contracts
MCA has amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015, vide notification dated 12th August 2024 and outlined scenarios where IND AS 117- “Insurance Contracts”. These include warranties from manufacturers, dealers or retailers related to goods and services and employer obligations from employee benefit plans. It also excludes retirement benefit obligations from defined benefit plans and contractual rights or obligations tied to future use of nonfinancial items, such as certain license fees and variable lease payments.
To address the anticipated challenges insurers might face in complying with the complex requirements of IND AS 117, the MCA subsequently introduced the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Third Amendment Rules, 2024, (‘relief amendment). According to this amendment, insurers are permitted to continue to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IND AS 104 for submission to their parent company, investor, or venturer for the purpose of consolidating financial statements until the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) mandates the application of IND AS 117. IND AS 117 will continue to apply to the entities that are not insurers or insurance companies, with effect from 1 April 2024. However the company is not engaged in Insurance Contracts and hence do not have any impact on the financial statement.
Amendment to IND AS 116
MCA has amended IND AS 116 vide its notification dated September 9, 2024 related to accounting for sale and leaseback transactions in the books of lessor and lessee. The amendment requires seller-lessee to determine lease payments or revised lease payments in a way that seller-lessee would not recognize any amounts of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. These rules aim to streamline accounting processes and ensure compliance with updated IND AS requirements. However the Company is not engaged in sale and leaseback transaction and hence do not have any impact on the financial statement.
Amendment to IND AS 21

These changes focus mainly on IND AS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.” The amendment gives clear guidance on how to estimate the “spot exchange rate” when two currencies cannot be exchanged easily. It clarifies the concept of exchangeability between Currencies, requiring:
• Assessment at the measurement date for a specific purpose.
• If exchangeability is lacking, entities must estimate the spot exchange rate and disclose the financial impact.
• A Currency is deemed exchangeable if it can be obtained within a normal administrative time frame through a market / exchange mechanism creating enforceable rights and obligations.

(a) Defined Benefit Plans
Gratuity & Leave Encashment
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees. The gratuity scheme provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement/death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of 6 months subject to a limit of INR 20.00 lakhs (March 31, 2024: INR 20.00 lakhs & March 31, 2023:INR 20.00 lakhs
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method i.e. projected unit credit method has been applied as that used for calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
v) Risk Exposure
The defined benefit obligations have the undermentioned risk exposures :
Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal , disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria.
Investment risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to high quality corporate bond yields; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
b) Based on Timing of revenue recognition
Revenues from construction contracts and operation & maintenance contracts are recognised on ‘Over a point in time’ basis and ‘At a point in time’ basis respectively.
c) Transaction price allocated to the remaining sales contracts
Revenues expected to be recognised in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2025 amounting to INR 171100 Lakhs.
Construction contracts are progressively executed over a period of upto 3 years and based on specific project schedules. Operation and maintenance contracts are expected to be executed over a period of 1 to 20 years.
d) Reconciliation of sale of services with contract price except operations and maintenance contracts
