l. 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 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. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the standalone statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. 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.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets has to be recognised in the financial statements in the period in which if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. Contingent assets are assessed continually, and no such benefits were found for the current financial year.
m. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognises the contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset.
The Company operates a defined benefit plan for its employees, viz., gratuity. The costs of providing benefits under the plan are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end using the projected unit credit method consistent with the advice of qualified actuaries.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to the standalone statement of profit and loss in the subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The
Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the standalone statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past- service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements.
- Net interest expense or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/ losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The company presents the entire leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date.
n. Employee share-based payments
Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/ or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The standalone statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
The amount of expenses pertaining to options granted to employees of the Company's subsidiaries are treated as Deemed Investments in respective subsidiaries to which employees belong and are recognised at each reporting period date until the vesting date, with corresponding impact in Share-based payment reserve.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value.
Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through statement of profit and loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share, unless its anti-dilutive to Company's earnings in nature.
Shares allotted to Trust:
The Company has created an Employees benefit trust (Trust) for implementation of the schemes that are notified or may be notified from time to time by the Company under the plan, providing share based payment to its employees. The company allocated shares to Trust at the time of formation of trust. The Company treats trust as its extension and these equity
instruments are recognised at cost and deducted from equity.
o. 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
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus except for trade receivables, less transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
i) Debt instruments at amortised cost
ii) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
iii) Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
iv) Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
- the rights to receive Cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass¬ through arrangement, it valuates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance.
b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI.
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on:
- financial assets measured at amortised cost.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. In case of loss allowance of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 180 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
- the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
- the financial asset is more than 365 days past due.
Measurement of expected credit losses:
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the as sets.Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheetThe gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
Equity and Compound Financial Instruments
The debt and equity instruments that are issued are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs .
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts.
Equity:
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.
A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company's own equity instruments is an equity instrument.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as 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.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender 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 recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
p. Financial Guarantee
In a financial guarantee where the parent company has provided guarantee to its subsidiaries, Company treats the fair value of the guarantee as an equity infusion at the time of initial recognition and subsequently recognize the Guarantee premium over the period of guarantee.
q. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the standalone statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
r. Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are carried 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 investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
s. Interest income
Interest income from financial instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is
included in other income in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
t. Rental Income
Rental income arising from operating leases on building is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit and loss due to its operating nature.
u. Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings equity per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holder of parent company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. Equity shares that will be issued upon the conversion of a mandatorily convertible instrument are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share from the date the contract is entered into. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings equity per 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.
v. Cash flow statement
Cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows.
w. events after Reporting date
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the standalone financial statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
x. Recent pronouncements
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. During the year ended 31 March 2026, MCA has notified amendment to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, Ind AS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows, Ind AS 107 - Financial Instruments, Ind AS 12 -Income Taxes, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed the amendments and based on its evaluation has determined that these amendments will not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Note : 36,579 equity shares were issued as a result of the exercise of vested options arising from the MedPlus Employee Stock Options and Shares Plan, 2021 (ESOP 2021) granted to key management personnel (31 March 2025: Nil) (see Note 34 ). Options were exercised at an average price of C549.03 per share.
(b) Terms and rights attached to equity shares
The Company has a single class of equity shares having par value of C2 per share (March 31,2025: C2 per share). Accordingly, all equity shares rank equally with regard to dividends and share in the Company's residual assets on winding up. The equity shareholders are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time, subject to preferential right of preference shareholders to payment of dividend. The voting rights of an equity shareholder on a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to the share of paid-up equity share capital of the Company. Voting rights cannot be exercised in respect of shares on which any call or other sums presently payable has not been paid. Failure to pay any amount called up on shares may lead to their forfeiture. On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive the residual assets of the Company, remaining after distribution of all preferential amounts, in proportion to the number of equity shares held.
Nature and purpose of reserves
a) Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The premium will be utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
b) Share based payment reserve
The Company has granted equity settled share based payment plans for certain categories of employees of the Company. (refer note 34).
c) General Reserve
General reserve is used from time to time to transfer profit from reserves, for appropriation purposes.
d) Retained earnings
Retained earnings are profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
e) Capital reserve
Capital reserve represents reserve created as part of common control business combination during the financial year FY 2020¬ 21.
Note 1: The Company had received a demand notice from the Income tax authorities pertaining to FY 2020¬ 21, amounting to C32.37 due to certain disallowances and additions to the total income. The Company has filed an appeal with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) challenging the said demand. Based on the assessment of the notice and the underlying facts by an independent external consultant, the Company is confident that the matter will be settled in the Company's favour. Consequently, no adjustments have been made to the standalone financial statements in this regard.
33. Employee benefits
I. Post Employment Benefits
A. Defined benefits plan - Gratuity
Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments for its employees. Under the plan, every employee who has completed at least five years of service is entitled to gratuity equivalent fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service in accordance with the Code on Social Security, 2020. The same is payable at the time of separation from the company. The scheme is partly funded in the form of a qualifying insurance policy managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The defined benefit plan exposes the company to actuarial risks such as longetivity risk, interest rate risk and market/investment risk.
Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise due to non¬ availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
The Company has determined that, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the gratuity plan, and in accordance with statutory requirements (including minimum funding requirements) of the plan of the relevant jurisdiction, the present value of refund or reduction in future contributions is not lower than the balance of the total fair value of the plan assets less the total present value of obligations. As such, no decrease in the defined benefit asset is necessary at March 31,2026 (March 31,2025:
B. Defined Contribution Plan Provident fund and other funds
The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifying employees towards provident fund and Employee state insurance, which is defined contribution plan. The Company has no obligations other than to make specified contributions. The contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss as they accrue.
The amount recognised as an expense towards contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance for the year aggregated to C30.19 (March 31,2025: C25.52) (refer note 27).
II. Other benefits - Leave Encashment
The employees of the Company are entitled to leave encashment which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating leave encashment is determined by actuarial valuation based on the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating leaves is recognized in the year in which the absences occur.
The amount recognised as an expense towards leave compensated absences for the year aggregated to C13.72 (March 31, 2025: C6.93).
III. Impact of new Labour Codes
During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Central Government of India notified 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, collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes', effective from November 21, 2025 primarily impacting the wage definition to be considered for the purpose of defined benefit obligation relating to gratuity and defined benefit contribution relating to leave encashment.
As a result of this plan amendment, the Company's defined benefit obligation and defined benefit contribution increased by C1.58 and C0.47 respectively (March 31,2025: Nil). A corresponding past service cost was recognized in the statement of profit and loss during the current year. The Company continues to monitor the Central / State Rules as notified and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the Labour Code and would provide appropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments as needed.
34. Employee stock option plan
(i) MedPlus Employees Stock Option and Shares Plan 2009 (ESOP 2009)
(a) The Company instituted MedPlus Employees Stock Option and Shares Plan 2009 (ESOP 2009). The Board of directors approved the plan on November 16, 2009. The plan is effective from November 1,2009 which provided for issue of 9,673 stock options to eligible employees. The options vest over a period of four years or as approved by remuneration committee and would be settled by issue of fully paid equity shares.
Pursuant to a resolution passed by the Board of Directors on February 17, 2011, the Company had formed a trust (MedPlus Employee Benefit Trust) to implement and administer ESOP 2009 and had allotted 9,673 options to the Trust.
The Company has allotted (before giving impact of bonus and split) 4,110 equity options and 5,563 options to the trust at premium of C11,016 per Option and C5,781 per Option respectively, aggregating total securities premium of C77.44 millions
Amount receivable from the trust for options granted aggregating to C77.54 (Face value - C0.10 and Premium of C77.44) has been accounted as 'Amount recoverable from Trust in kind' and has been deducted from share capital and securities premium respectively as these are in the nature of own shares held. The same will be adjusted at the time of exercise of options by the employees.
During the year March 31,2026 8 (March 31,2025: 138) options were exercised by employees which resulted in
(i) increase in paid up capital by March 31,2026 C0.00 (March 31,2025: C0.00) and
(ii) increase of securities premium by March 31,2026 CNil (March 31,2025: CNil)
Further, recovery of C0.00 (March 31, 2025: C9.92) from ESOP trust was done on account of exercised options during the year ended March 31,2026"
(ii) MedPlus Employees Stock Option and Shares Plan 2021 (ESOP 2021)
(a) The Company instituted MedPlus Employees Stock Option and Shares Plan 2021 (ESOP 2021). The Board of directors approved the plan on August 9, 2021.

The options vest over a period of four years from the grant date at 10%, 25%, 25% and 40% respectively, as a % of options granted. Vesting period may be accelerated on deserving cases, subject to applicable law and minimum vesting period of at least one year. During the year ended March 31, 2026 the Company has granted Nil (March 31, 2025: Nil) Options.
35.Leases
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.
36. Operating segment
The Company has presented segment information in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, in terms of paragraph 3 of Ind AS 108 'Operating Segments', no disclosures related to segment are presented in these standalone financial statements.
37. Capital Commitments Commitments
As at March 31, 2026 the Company has commitments of C11.97 relating to contracts remaining to be executed on capital account, net of advance. (March 31,2025: C0.88)
38. Details of dues of micro enterprises and small enterprises as defined under the MSMED Act, 2006
The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises has issued an Office Memorandum dated August 26, 2008 which recommends that the Micro and Small Enterprises should mention in their correspondence with its customers the Entrepreneurs Memorandum Number as allocated after filling the Memorandum. Accordingly, the disclosure in respect of the amounts payable to such enterprises as at March 31,2026 has been made in the standalone financial statements based on information received and available with the Company. The Company has not received any claim for interest from any supplier under the said Act.
Note:
1. Outstanding balances for trade receivable, trade payable and other payables are unsecured, interest free and settlement occurs in cash. The Company has recorded impairment of balances relating to amounts owed by related party, provision for bad and doubtful debts will be made on an aggregate basis i.e. not specific to party. The assessment is undertaken each financial year through evaluating the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
2. Managerial remuneration does not include post employment benefit which is determined for Company as whole.
40. Financial instruments Fair Values
Refer note 2.2 (o.) for accounting policy on Financial Instruments.
Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments:
The fair value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, other than cash and cash equivalents, loans, other financial assets, trade payables, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to short time nature of these instruments.
Fair value hierarchy
Refer note 2.2d for accounting policy on Fair value.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year ended March 31,2026 and March 31,2025.
41. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
1. Credit risk
2. Liquidity risk"
3. Market risk
Risk management framework:
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and deployment of risk management framework. The Board of Directors has adopted a Risk Policy, which empowers the management to access and monitoring the risk management parameters along with action taken and the same is updated to Board of Directors."
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks being faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Company's audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risk faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the result of which are reported to the audit committee.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the credit, interest rate, liquidity and other market changes. The Company's Financial instruments are not affected by market risk.
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. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk, except for trade receivables.
The Company primarily supplies goods to its subsidery companies which are made on credit. It generally operates on Cash and Carry model in the diagnostic services line, however sale to certain institutional customers are made on credit. Credit terms are generally 30 to 60 days. The customer credit risk is managed by the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on the individual credit limits as defined in accordance with this assessment and outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company' receivables turnover is quick and historically, there was no significant defaults on account of those customer in the past. Ind AS requires an entity to recognise in profit or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised in accordance with Ind AS 109.
The Company assesses financial position at each reporting date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. Since 99.89% of the trade receivables are from related parties, no credit risk is observed.

The maximum exposure to credit risk was C1326.06, C1216.29 as of March 31,2026 and March 31,2025 respectively, being the total of the carrying amount of balances with trade receivables that includes receivable from subsidiaries amounting to C1,324.59 where no risk is associated.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements.

The Company has deployed its surplus funds into various financial instruments including liquid and overnight Mutual funds. The Company is exposed to price risk on such investments, which arises on account of movement in interest rates, liquidity and credit quality of underlying securities.
Excessive risk concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company's performance to developments affecting a particular industry.
