3.10 Provisions And Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized 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 in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are neither recorded nor disclosed in the financial statements.
3.11 Cash And Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand , cash at banks and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash on hand and cash at banks and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months.
3.12 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.
a) Financial assets
(i) Recognition and Initial measurement
At initial recognition, financial asset is measured at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset not “at fair value through profit or loss" are measured at transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
a) at amortized cost; or
b) at fair value through other comprehensive income; or
c) at fair value through profit or loss.
The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the related cash fiows.
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash fiows where those cash fiows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method (EIR).
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection
of contractual cash fiows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash fiows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amounts are taken through Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI'), except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in statement of profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to statement of profit and loss and recognized in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in “Other income" using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through statement of profit and loss. Interest and dividend income from these financial assets is included in “Other income" Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income are recognized in statement of profit and loss.
The Company enters into business combination arrangements which may include terms where the Group has purchased call option over the equity of a subsidiary held by the non-controlling interest which permit the Group to purchase the shares held by the non-controlling interest at the exercise price specified in the arrangement. The Group analyses the terms of such arrangements to assess whether they provide the Group or the non¬ controlling interest with access to the risks and rewards associated with the actual ownership of the shares.
The non-controlling interest is recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if risks and rewards associated with ownership have been retained by the non-controlling interest. In such case, the Company accounts for the call option as derivative asset with corresponding credit to investments / call option liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of derivative asset is recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Equity instruments: All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind
AS 103 applies are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and FVOCI.
For recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent years, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 months ECL.
Life time ECLs are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12 months ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the year end.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash fiows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash fiows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash fiows, an entity is required to consider all
contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension etc.) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payment is more than 90 days past due.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the year is recognized as income/expense in the statement of profit and loss. In balance sheet ECL for financial assets measured at amortized cost is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when
a) the right to receive cash fiows from the financial asset is transferred or
b) retains the contractual rights to receive the cash fiows of the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash fiows to one or more recipients.
Where the financial asset is transferred then in that case financial asset is derecognized only if substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
b) Financial liabilities
(i) Recognition and Initial measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and at amortized cost, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
(ii) 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. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company enters into business combination arrangements which may include terms where the Company has written put options or a purchased call option along with the written put, over the equity of a subsidiary which permit the holder to put their shares in the subsidiary back to the Company at the exercise price specified in the arrangement. The Company analyses the terms of such arrangements to assess whether they provide the Company or the non-controlling interest with access to the risks and rewards associated with the actual ownership of the shares.
The non-controlling interest is recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if risks and rewards associated with ownership have been retained by the non-controlling interest. In such cases, the Company accounts for the put option as derivative liability with corresponding debit to investments. Subsequent changes in the fair value of derivative liability is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
(iii) Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized 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 amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iv) Derecognition of Financial liability
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 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 recognized in the statement of profit and loss as finance costs.
c) Embedded Derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract - with the effect that some of the cash fiows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a standalone derivative. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are separated if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives closely related to the host contracts are not separated.
Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash fiows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss.
d) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
3.13 Employee Benefits
a) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬ monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees' services up to the end of the year and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
b) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
Post employment benefit plans
(i) Defined contribution plan
Provident Fund: Contribution towards provident fund is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis which are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Employee's State Insurance Scheme:
Contribution towards employees' state insurance scheme is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined
Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis which are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
The Company has no further obligations under these plans beyond its monthly contributions.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plans
Gratuity: The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan ( covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. Actuarial losses/gains are recognized in the other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
Costs comprising service cost (including current and past service cost and gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) and net interest expense or income is recognized in profit or loss.
The obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
Compensated Absences: Accumulated
compensated absences, which are expected to be
availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The
Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. Actuarial losses/gains are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.
Leaves under define benefit plans can be encashed only on discontinuation of service by employee.
3.14 Foreign Currency Transactions
a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
b) Transactions and balances
On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Gains/Losses arising out of fluctuation in foreign exchange rate between the transaction date and settlement date are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are restated at the year end at the exchange rate prevailing at the year end and the exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
3.15 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the
net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
The weighted average numbers of equity shares are adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in the rights issue, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive equity shares.
3.16 Share Based Payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to the employees via the Share based long term incentive scheme.
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 options outstanding account in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date represents 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. Expense or credit recorded In the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee benefits expense.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
3.17 Share capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary equity shares are recognized as deduction from equity.

46 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A. Accounting classification and fair values
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
B. The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, deposits, other receivables, cash and cash equivalent including other current bank balances and other liabilities including deposits, creditors for capital expenditure, etc. are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to current and short term nature of such balances.
The Company has engaged the services of experts for determining the fair valuation of call option asset and put option liability. The fair value of call option and put option has been calculated by external valuation experts using 'Simulation' method."
C. Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting year.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The company has in place comprehensive risk management policy in order to identify measure, monitor and mitigate various risks pertaining to its business. Along with the risk management policy, an adequate internal control system, commensurate to the size and complexity of its business, is maintained to align with the philosophy of the company. Together they help in achieving the business goals and objectives consistent with the company's strategies to prevent inconsistencies and gaps between its policies and practices. The Board of Directors/committtees reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management policy and internal control system. The company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies.
The company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk and
• Market risk
(A) 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 trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts offinancial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. i) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in India. Credit risk has always been managed by the company 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 uses Expected Credit Loss model to assess the impairment loss. The company computes the expected credit loss allowance as per simplified approach for trade receivables based on available external and internal credit risk factors such as the ageing of its dues, market information about the customer and the company's historical experience for customers. 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 is based on the ageing of the receivable days and the rates as given in the provision matrix.
ii) Loans and financial assets measured at amortized cost: Loans and advances given comprises of inter company loans hence the risk of default from these companies are remote. The Company monitors each loans and advances given and makes any specific provision wherever required.
iii) Cash and cash equivalents and other bank balance: The company held cash and cash equivalent and other bank balance of ? 2,233.86 million as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024 : ? 7,923.52 million). The same are held with bank and financial institution counterparties with good credit rating. Also, company invests its short term surplus funds in bank fixed deposit which carry no market risks for short duration, therefore does not expose the company to credit risk.
iv) Others: Apart from trade receivables ,loans and cash and bank balances , the company has no other financial assets which carries any significant credit risk.
(B) Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company's reputation. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities: The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments.
(C) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The company's exposure to, and management of, these risks is explained below.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The company caters mainly to the Indian Market . Most of the transactions are denominated in the company's functional currency i.e. Rupees. Hence the company is not materially exposed to Foreign Currency Risk.
51 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN (ESOP)
