2.18 Contingent liabilities, Contingent Assets and Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal/ constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liability is disclosed for (i) Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or (ii) Present obligations arising 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 standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies:
• Useful lives of Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

31. Employee Benefits a) Defined Contribution plans
The Company makes Provident and Pension Fund contributions, which is a defined contribution plan, for qualifying employees. Additionally, the Company also provides, for covered employees, health insurance through the Employee State Insurance scheme. Under the Schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
b) Defined Benefit Plans:
The Company offers ‘Gratuity' (Refer Note 21 Employees Benefits Expense) as a post employment benefit for qualifying employees and operates a gratuity plan. The benefit payable is calculated as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and the benefit vests upon completion of five years of continuous service and once vested it is payable to employees on retirement or on termination of employment. In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective of vesting. The Company's obligation towards its gratuity liability is a defined benefit plan.
Description of Risk Exposures
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
A) 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 (as shown in financial statements).
B) Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
C) Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
D) Demographic Risk : The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
E) 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 availabilty of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
In respect of the plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at 31 March 2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and paid service cost, were measured using the projected unit cost credit method.
a. Ta. The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market.
b. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.
c. Attrition rate considered is the management's estimate based on the past trend of employee turnover in the Company. Sensitivity analysis
The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are the attrition rate, discount rate and the long-term rate of compensation increase. The calculation of the net defined benefit liability is sensitive to these assumptions. It is assumed that the active members of the scheme will experience in service mortality in accordance with the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate Table. The following table summarises the effects of changes in these actuarial assumptions on the defined benefit liability.
32. Exceptional items
32(a) Sale of Labour Law Compliance (LLC) Division and Transfer of certain customer contracts pertaining to payroll compliance business
On 06 February 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the sale of its Labour Law Compliance (LLC) division on a going concern basis by way of slump sale, subject to closing adjustments as defined in Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) dated 06 February 2024. The Company has completed the sale of its LLC division on 30 April 2024 for a net sales consideration of ' 2,211 Lakhs with net assets transferred aggregating to ' 417 Lakhs.
The gain of Rs. 1,708 Lakhs (net of expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with this sale of ' 86 Lakhs) is presented under exceptional item for year ended 31 March 2025. Further, during the previous year ended 31 March 2025, the company has made a provision of ' 80 Lakhs towards indemnification of liability arising on account of non-collection of trade receivables and unbilled revenue as at 31 March 2025 in accordance with the said BTA.
The Company had transferred certain customer contracts pertaining to payroll compliance business to the buyer to whom the LLC business was transferred during the previous year ended 31 March 2025, pursuant to the request of those customers in order to avail all their statutory compliance services with one service provider. The Company had entered into an agreement agreeing the terms and conditions associated with such transfer of contracts along with the purchase consideration. Accordingly the gain on such transfer of ' 61 Lakhs was been disclosed under exceptional item during the year ended 31 March 2025.
32(b) Changes to Employee Benefits upon notification of Labour Codes
On 21 November 2025, the Government of India notified provisions of the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, (‘Labour Codes') which consolidate twenty-nine existing labour laws into a unified framework governing employee benefits during employment and postemployment. The Labour Codes, amongst other things introduces changes, including a uniform definition of wages and enhanced benefits relating to leave.
The Company has assessed the financial implications of these changes which has resulted in increase in gratuity liability and provision for compensated absences by Rs. 781 Lakhs during year ended 31 March 2026. Considering the impact is material and arising out of an enactment of the new legislation is an event of non-recurring nature which is regulatory driven, the Company has presented this incremental impact of Labour Codes under “Exceptional Item” in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31 March 2026. The Company continues to monitor the developments pertaining to Labour Codes and will evaluate impact if any on the measurement of liability pertaining to employee benefits.
Investment in subsidiaries carried at cost is not appearing as financial asset in the table above being investment in subsidiaries and associates accounted under Ind AS 27, Separate Financial Statements and is hence scoped out under Ind AS 109.
The management assessed that fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans, borrowings, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value/amortized cost
1) Long-term fixed-rate receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual losses and creditworthiness of the receivables
2) The fair value of unquoted instruments, loans from banks and other financial liabilities, as well as other non-current financial liabilities are estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. In addition to being sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the forecast cash flows or discount rate, the fair value of the unquoted instruments is also sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the growth rates. The valuation requires management to use unobservable inputs in the model, of which the significant unobservable inputs are disclosed in the tables below. Management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs and determines their impact on the total fair value.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no items of financial assets or financial liabilities which were valued at fair value as of 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.
34.3 Financial Risk Management Framework
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company manages financial risk relating to the operations through internal risk reports which analyse exposure by degree and magnitude of risk.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk (including interest rate risk and other price risk). The Company's primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company's risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's risk assessment and management policies and processes.
(a) Liquidity Risk Management :
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations as they become due. 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.
Liquidity and Interest Risk Tables :
To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
(b) 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. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. 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 other financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk. 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.
The carrying amount of the financial assets recorded in these financial statements, grossed up for any allowance for losses, represents the maximum exposures to credit risk.
Trade receivables: The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and credit history, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
Credit risk on current investments, cash & cash equivalent and derivatives is limited as the Company generally transacts with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in fixed deposits.
(c) Market Risk :
Market risk is the risk of loss of any future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short-term and long¬ term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
(c.1) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company's management monitors the interest fluctuations, if any, and accordingly, take necessary steps to mitigate any interest rate risk.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Company is debt free as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 and hence the Company is not exposed to changes in market interest rates.
(c.2) Foreign Currency Risk Management :
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arises.
Foreign Currency sensitivity analysis:
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in ' against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the rate used in order to determine the sensitivity analysis considering the past trends and expectation of the management for changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis includes the outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a increase in profit / decrease in loss and increase in equity where the ' strengthens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the ' against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or loss and equity and balance below would be negative.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activity :
The Company's revenue is denominated in various foreign currencies. Given the nature of the business, a large portion of the costs are denominated in Indian Rupee. This exposes the Company to currency fluctuations on collections.
The Board of Directors has risk management plan of the Company which inter-alia covers risks arising out of exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Under the guidance and framework provided by the board, the Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts in which the counter party is generally a bank.
Sensitivity analysis
In respect the Company's forward exchange contracts, a 10% increase/decrease in the exchange rates of the currency underlying such contracts would have resuted in: an approximately (' 807 Lakhs) / ' 807 Lakhs increase/(decrease) in the Company's other comprehensive income as at 31 March 2026. (31 March 2025: Nil)
34.4 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures are required)
The Management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
34.5 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Company has not offset financial assets and financial liabilities.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the year ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025. Measurement of fair value of financial instruments
Valuation techniques are selected based on the characteristics of each instrument, with the overall objective of maximising the use of market-based information. The finance team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) and to the audit committee. Valuation processes and fair value changes are discussed among the audit committee and the valuation team at least every year, in line with the Company's reporting dates.
The valuation techniques used for instruments categorised in Levels 1, 2 and 3 are described below:
Investments in mutual fund units (Level 1)
The Mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV Foreign exchange forward contracts (Level 2)
The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are not traded in active markets. These have been fair valued using observable forward exchange rates and interest rates corresponding to the maturity of the contract. The effects of non¬ observable inputs are not significant for foreign currency forward contracts.
Investments in equity instruments of other companies (Level 3)
These investments are not traded in active markets, and management considers the cost of investments to approximate the fair value.
Financial instruments measured at amortised cost for which the fair value is disclosed
The carrying amount of all financial instruments measured at amortised cost are considered to be a reasonable approximation of the fair value.
Fair value measurement of non-financial assets
There are no non-financial assets that were measured at fair value on the reporting dates.
36. Capital management policies and procedures
