(i) 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 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.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax 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 recognised as a finance cost.
(j) Employee Benefits Expense Short Term Employee Benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised as an expense during the period when the employees render the services.
Post-Employment Benefits Defined Contribution Plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays specified contributions to a separate entity. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund and Pension Scheme. The Company's contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Defined Benefit Plans Gratuity

Liabilities with regard to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at the end of each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The Company makes contributions of the ascertained liability to Jenburkt Pharmaceuticals Ltd Empl G G & L A Scheme (“the Trust”). Trustees administer contributions made and the contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian Law.
The Company recognizes the net obligation of the defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit and loss in subsequent periods.
The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the profit or loss as employee benefits expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in profit or loss.
Leave Encashment
The Company also pays Leave Encashment to the Employees as follows:
Office Employees - 21 days leave salary (Basic Salary) for every completed year of service
Field Employees - 30 days leave salary (Basic Salary) for every completed year of service

The Company makes contributions as per the ascertained liability, and the contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The Company recognizes the net obligation of the defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in the profit and loss account.
Implementation of Labour Codes
The Government of India notified provisions of the Code on Wages,2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, ('Labour Codes') on November 21, 2025, which consolidate twenty- nine existing labour laws into a unified framework governing employee benefit during employment and post¬ employment.

The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Company is in the process of aligning its salary structure with the provisions of the new labour code, and accordingly assess the impact of the changes, consistent with the Labour Codes, draft rules, FAQs and legal opinion and made necessary statutory provisions in the accounts. The Company has assessed the financial implications of these changes which has resulted in increase in gratuity liability arising out of past service cost and increase in leave liability by ? 395.11 Lacs as on March 31, 2026. Considering the impact arising out of an enactment of the new legislation is an event of non-recurring nature, the Company has presented this incremental amount as “Impact of Labour Codes” under “Exceptional Item” in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Company continues to monitor the developments pertaining to Labour Codes and will evaluate impact and provide appropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments as needed.
(k) Tax Expenses
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the other comprehensive income or in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax statement used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of deferred tax liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
(l) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated cost can be estimated reliably, there is continuing effective control or managerial involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on beha lf of the government.
Sale of goods are recorded net of trade discounts, rebates, and GST.
Interest income
Interest Income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and applicable interest rate.
Dividends

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss
(n) Financial Instruments i) Financial Assets
A. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially
recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition. Purchase and sale of financial assets are recognised using trade date accounting.
B. Subsequent measurement
a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost (AC)
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other receivables and loans and advances maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Also, receivables, loans and advances below transaction value of '. 30 lakhs are taken at carrying amount as the effect of amortization is immaterial.
b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognises interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit or loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified in the statement of other equity to profit or loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.
C. Equity Investments
All equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognised in 'Other Comprehensive Income.
All fair value changes on the instrument, including foreign exchange gain or loss and excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. On sale of investment the entire gain or loss that are recognised in OCI are not reclassified to profit and loss account but directly transferred to retained earnings from OCI in the Statement of Other Equity.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of financial assets other than those measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12-months after the reporting date); or Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument)
For trade receivables Company applies 'simplified approach' which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date, these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12-months ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.
ii) Financial liabilities
A. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of loans, net of directly attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.
B. Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Derecognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(o) Share Capital
Equity instruments are contracts that evidence a residual interest in the net assets of a company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received. Buybacks are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effect.
(p) Dividend Distribution
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the
date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Board of Directors.
Companies are required to pay/distribute dividend after deducting applicable withholding income taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

(s) Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in notes.
1. NPPA had served a show cause notice to the Company alleging that a Company's product was violating a NPPA's standing order. However, after a Personal Hearing and detai led submission, N PPA passed a written order stating that the Company's product did not violate the standing order. Subsequently, NPPA reviewed its own order, without having any power to review, issued show cause
notices and demand notice to the Company. The Company subsequently filed a writ petition against the demand of NPPA, at the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay. The matter was settled in favour of the company. DPCO, 1995, explicitly debars NPPA to review its own order, the very reason cited by Hon'ble High Court of Bombay, while quashing the show cause notices and demand notice in their judgment dated 08th August, 2013 and 26th September, 2013. The NPPA after over a year filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) (demanding ? 16.45 crore) at the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The Company has been legally advised, that based on the facts and merits of the case, the demand raised by N PPA is not likely to crystallize. NPPA appeal was called on 05111 June 2024 for hearing. After hearing NPPA counsel, Supreme court passed order to post the matter for four weeks. Thereafter it has not come up for hearing.

C. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. 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
(i) Depreciation / amortisation and useful lives of property plant and equipment / Right to Use / intangible assets Property, plant and equipment / intangible assets are depreciated / amortised over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company's historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation / amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
(ii) Recoverability of trade receivable
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non¬ payment.
(iii) Provisions
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing
of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
(iv) 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, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Units (CGU's) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where 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 value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using 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.
(v) Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
