j. Provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized when:
(i) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
(ii) 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 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 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 determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Contingent liability is disclosed for,
(i) Possible obligations that will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or
(ii) Present obligations arise from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
k. Employee Benefits
(a) Defined Contribution Plans
The company’s contribution to the defined contribution plan paid/payable for the year is charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss.
(b) Defined Benefit Plans
• The Company has gratuity as a defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employee’s length of service and final salary. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. The gratuity fund is administered through the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
• The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated using the projected unit credit method (PUCM) with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period.
• The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the statement of profit and 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.
• The Net Interest Cost on Defined Benefit Obligations is also included in the Statement of Profit and Loss under the Head “Employees Benefit Expenses”.
• Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to OCI in the period in which they arise and are reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
l. Taxes on Income (a) Tax expense
• Tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in OCI or directly in equity as in that case it is recognized in OCI or directly in equity respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
• Deferred tax resulting from “timing differences” between taxable and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of being reversed in one or more subsequent period is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date. The deferred tax asset is recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future. However, where there is unabsorbed capital expenditure or carry forward losses under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each Balance Sheet date.
m. Exceptional Items
Exceptional items refer to items of income or expense,including tax items, within the statement of profit and loss from ordinary activities which are non-recurring and are of such size, nature or incidence that their separate disclosure is considered necessary to explain the performance of the Company.
n. Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
o. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the same can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below. Revenue is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, considering defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. Amounts disclosed as revenue are exclusive of GST and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, discounts, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
i) Sale of goods
Sales are recognized when substantial risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to customer, in case of domestic customers, sales generally take place when goods are dispatched or delivery is handed over to the transporter. In case of export customers, sales generally take place when goods are shipped on-board based on bill of lading.
ii) Interest & Other Indirect Income
a) Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis considering the amount invested and rate of interest.
b) Revenue in respect of other claims is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent the ultimate realization is reasonably certain.
p. Impairment
(i) Financial Assets
The company’s financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired, if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset.
(ii) Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss if the estimated recoverable amount of an asset or its cash generating unit is lower than its carrying amount.
q. Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:
(a) those measured at amortised cost
(b) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through Statement of Profit & Loss.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the terms of cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income as the case may be.
All financial assets are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs of acquisition of financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured subsequently at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in Other income as per interest received/receivable from Financial Institutions.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. The Company’s financial liabilities majorly comprises trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are classified as ‘FVTPL’ if they are held for trading or if they are designated as financial liabilities upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same creditor on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that the market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re¬ assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting year.
r. Investment in Subsidiary
The Company records the Investment in equity instrument of Subsidiary at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investment in subsidiary, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
s. Use of Judgment’s, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, 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. Difference between actual results and estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances existing when the financial statements were prepared. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements which have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
> Defined benefit plans (Gratuity and Leave encashment benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation and Leave encashment 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. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
> Useful life of Property, plant and equipment
The Company reviews the useful life of Property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expenses in the future years.
*As on 31st March 2025, the Company is in possession of cheques amounting to Rs1050.00 Lakhs (Rupees Ten Crores Fifty Lakhs only), received towards settlement of trade receivables.

Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.
Credit Risk
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, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company’s reputation. The Current ratio of the company calculated later in the report is the true indicator of the management of the Liquidity risk by the company.
