(S) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
(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. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss.
(ii) 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 recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
(iii) Contingent Assets: Contingent Assets are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(T) Investments
Equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, except for those mutual fund for which the Company has elected to present the fair value changes in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(U) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
(V) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are recognised, initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method.
(W) Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non current.
(X) Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest Rupees thousand (upto two decimals), unless otherwise stated as per the requirement of Schedule III (Division II).
3 Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
The Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) amendments, effective from April 1, 2025, include changes to Ind AS 7, Ind AS 12, Ind AS 21, and Ind AS 115. These amendments primarily focus on enhancing disclosures and clarifying guidance related to foreign exchange rates, statement of cash flows, income taxes, and revenue from contracts with customers.
(i) Ind AS 7 (Statement of Cash Flows)
Requires enhanced disclosures on non-cash transactions and reconciliation of liabilities from financing activities. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the standalone financial statements.
(ii) Ind AS 12 (Income Taxes)
Reflects changes in deferred tax treatment and aligns with IFRS updates regarding the recognition of tax consequences of dividends. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the financial statements.
(iii) Ind AS 21 (The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates)
Clarifies the treatment of deferred foreign exchange items and reduces ambiguity in cases of long-term foreign currency monetary items. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the financial statements.
(iv) Ind AS 115 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers)
Includes minor terminology changes for better alignment with IFRS 15 and focuses on contract modification disclosures in revenue recognition. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment
is insignificant in the financial statements.
(i) PF related matters
The Supreme Court in a recent judgement has held that provident fund contributions are payable on basic wage, dearness allowances and all other monthly allowances, which are ordinarily paid to all the employees in the establishment of the Board. There are numerous interpretative issues relating to the judgement and the matter remains sub judice. As a matter of caution, the Company is consulting in respect of the matter and will make provision on a prospective basis once there is a clarity. However, the impact will be immmaterial.
(ii) The Company has received notice from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) imposing penalty of Rs.20,000 Thousand, the company has filed appeal against the same.
Note:
# The management does not expect these demands/claims to succeed. Claims, where the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, have not been considered in contingent liability.
Notes:
1. The Company has identified the following segments:
a) The Real Estate segment, which includes letting out of properties.
b) The Trading segment which includes retailing of plastic moulded suit cases, brief cases & vanity cases and other travel goods & accessories.

38 Capital Management Risk Management
For the purpose of Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to equity holders. The primary objective of the company capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Board provides guiding principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as credit risk, liquidity risk, investment of surplus liquidity and other business risks effecting business operation. The company's risk management is carried out by the management as per guidelines and policies approved by the Board of Directors.
(A) 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 the direct risk of default, risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables), deposits with banks and loans given.
(B) Liquidity Risk
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are “cash and cash equivalents” and cash flows that are generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding term borrowings. The Company believes that its working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Additionally, the Company has sizeable surplus funds invested in fixed income securities or instruments of similar profile ensuring safety of capital and availability of liquidity if and when required. Hence the Company does not perceive any liquidity risk.
Salary escalation & attrition rate are considered as advised by the company; they appear to be in line with the industry practice considering promotion and demand & supply of the employees.
