2.10 Provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its' carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote, 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 reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets
A contingent asset is neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
2.11 Financial Instruments
a) Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. At initial recognition, financial assets (other than trade receivables) and financial liabilities are measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")) are added to or deducted from the value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
i) Financial assets
All financial assets are initially measured at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of financial assets. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
After initial recognition all financial assets (other than derivative instruments) meeting the relevant criteria, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Company has not designated any financial asset as FVTPL or Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVTOCI").
Debt instruments that meet conditions based on purpose of holding assets and contractual terms of instrument are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. All other financial assets are measured at fair value. Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as Fair Value Through Profit or Loss. Interest income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset.
For trade receivables and any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical
expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. The expected credit loss allowance has been made taking into the account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information.
ii) Financial Liabilities and equity instruments
Classification of debt or equity
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of financial liability and equity instrument.
Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities (other than derivative financial instruments) are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method at the end of the reporting period.
b) Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and does not retain control of the financial asset. The Company derecognises a financial liability (or a part of financial liability) when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Whenever Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts and principal swap to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risks. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the contracts are entered into. Subsequent to initial recognition, these contracts are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and changes are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
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 in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. The Company's accounting policies and disclosures, in a few cases, require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Wherever available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
2.12 Cash flow statement
The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by the indirect method set out in Ind AS 7 on Cash Flow Statements and presents the cash flows by operating, investing and financing activities of the Company.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
2.13 Segment reporting
The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company identifies secondary segment on the basis of geographical location of the customers.
2.14 Employee benefits
Compensation to employees for services rendered is measured and accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 19 on Employee Benefits.
Employee Benefits such as salaries, allowances, non-monetary benefits and employee benefits under defined contribution plans such as provident and other funds, which fall due for payment within a period of twelve months after rendering service, are charged as expense to profit or loss in the period in which the service is rendered.
Employee Benefits under defined benefit plans such as gratuity which fall due for payment after completion of employment are measured by the projected unit credit method, on the basis of actuarial valuations carried out by third party actuaries at each balance sheet date. The Company's obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.
Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
• Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
• Net interest expense or income; and
• Remeasurement
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the line item 'Employee benefits expense'.
Actuarial Gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest) are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans.
2.15 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.16 Earnings per share
The Company reports basic and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) in accordance with Ind AS 33 on Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, except where the results are anti-dilutive.
3 RECENT INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IND AS)
During the year the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS -117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116- Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f April 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined it does not have any significant impact in its Financial statements.
4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on various factors including historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. During financial years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no changes in useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The Company at the end of each reporting period, based on external and internal sources of information, assesses indicators and mitigating factors of whether the plant (cash generating unit) may have suffered an impairment loss. If it is determined that an impairment loss has been suffered, it is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Impairment of trade receivables
The Company estimates the probability of collection of accounts receivable by analysing historical payment patterns, customer status, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required.
c) Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigations and other claims against the company. There are certain obligations which management has concluded, which based on all available facts and circumstances, are not probable of payment or difficult to quantify reliably and such obligations are treated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements.
(i) The Board of Directors of the Company have recommended Final Dividend of ' 183.83 lakhs at ' 2.50 per share for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 to be paid on fully paid Equity Shares. The Final dividend is subject to the approval of shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and has not been included as liability in these financial statements.
(ii) Nature of reserves
(a) Capital reserve

i) ' 26.06 lakhs of various capital incentive grants received from time to time from Government of Maharashtra on the basis of investments made in plant and machinery as backward area incentives.
ii) ' 427.50 lakhs of reserves was created in an earlier year consequent to surrender of tenancy rights for redevelopment in exchange for office premises. The office premises have since been disposed off.
Both the capital reserves are not available for distribution to the shareholders as dividend.
(b) Securities premium
Security premium account is created when shares are issued at premium. The Company can use this reserve in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to support its operations. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables and cash that are derived directly from its operations.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk ;
• Liquidity risk ; and
• Market risk
i. Risk management framework
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company's risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's risk assessment and management policies and processes.
ii. Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with bank and other financial instruments.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.
(F) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk. Thus, the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities.
Currency risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the profit and loss account and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets / liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity.
Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar (USD) and Euro (EUR), against the functional currencies of the Company.
