2.14 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
The assessments undertaken in recognising provisions and contingencies have been made in accordance with the applicable Ind AS. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
2.14.1 PROVISIONS
Provisions represent liabilities to the Company for which the amount or timing is uncertain. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost.
2.14.2 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. There are certain obligations which management of the Company has concluded, based on all available facts and circumstances, are not probable of payment or are very difficult to quantify reliably, and such obligations are treated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in the notes but are not reflected as liabilities in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings in which the Company involved, it is not expected that such contingencies will have a material effect on its financial position or profitability.
2.14.3 CONTINGENT ASSETS
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.15 CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Cash flows are reported using indirect method as set out in Ind AS -7 "Statement of Cash Flows”, whereby profit/ (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
2.16 SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker “CODM” of the Company.
2.17 CURRENT VERSUS NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION
The Company presents assets and liabilities in statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. The Company has presented non-current assets and current assets before equity, non-current liabilities and current liabilities in accordance with Schedule III, Division II of Companies Act, 2013 notified by MCA.
i. An asset is classified as current when it is:
a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
ii. All other assets are classified as non-current.
iii. A liability is classified as current when it is:
a) Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
iv. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
v. The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
vi. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
2.18 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
Other Fair Value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
2.19 EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
Exceptional items are transactions which due to their size or incidence are separately disclosed to enable a full understanding of the Company’s financial performance.
2.20 SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income & expenses during the periods. Although these estimates and assumptions used in accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of date of financial statements which in management’s opinion are prudent and reasonable, actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions used in preparing accompanying financial statements. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively from the period in which results are known/ materialise in accordance with applicable Indian accounting standards.
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below.
2.21 SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENTS
The following are Significant Management Judgements in applying the Accounting Policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the Financial Statements.
2.21.1 EVALUATION OF INDICATORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
2.22 ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below.
2.22.1 IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
2.22.2 INCOME TAXES
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the long term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.
2.22.3 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/ claim/litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
Nature and purpose of Other Reserves SECURITIES PREMIUM
The amount received in excess of Par Value of the equity shares is recognised in Securities Premium Reserve. In case of equity-settled share based payment transactions, the difference between fair value on grant date and nominal value of share is accounted as securities premium reserve.
STATUTORY RESERVE (U/S 45-IC OF RBI ACT, 1934)
Statutory reserve represents reserve fund created pursuant to Section 45-IC of the RBI Act, 1934 through transfer of specified percentage of net profit every year before any dividend is declared. The reserve fund can be utilised only for limited purposes as specified by RBI from time to time and every such utilisation shall be reported to the RBI within specified period of time from the date of such utilisation.
GENERAL RESERVE
General Reserve represents the Statutory Reserve, this is in accordance with Corporate law wherein a portion of profit is apportioned to General Reserve. Under Companies Act, 1956 it was mandatory to transfer amount before a Company can declare dividend, however under Companies Act, 2013 transfer of any amount to General Reserve is at the discretion of the Company.
RETAINED EARNINGS
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note above has 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 market for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
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 rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfer out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s businesses are subject to several risks and uncertainties including financial risks. The Company’s documented risk management polices, act as an effective tool in mitigating the various financial risks to which the business is exposed to in the course of their daily operations. The risk management policies cover areas such as interest rate risk, counterparty and concentration of credit risk and capital management.
The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The senior professionals working to manage the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company are accountable to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risk are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and Company risk objective.
23.1. INTEREST RATE RISK
The above risks may affect the Company’s income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to and management of these risks are explained below.
The Company is mainly exposed to the interest rate risk due to its investment in term deposits with banks. The Company invests in term deposits for a period of up to five year. Considering the short-term nature, there is no significant interest rate risk pertaining to these deposits.
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 long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates and term deposits. The Company’s fixed rate borrowings and deposits are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate of borrowings.
The exposure of the Company’s borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
23.2. CREDIT RISK
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily its investing activities including deposits with banks and cash and cash equivalents.
For financial instruments, the Company attempts to limit the credit risk by only dealing with reputable banks. The carrying value of the financial assets other than cash represents the maximum credit exposure.
None of the Company’s cash equivalents, including flexi deposits with banks, are past due or impaired.
The Company assesses and manages credit risk of Financial Assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of Financial Assets.
23.3. LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.
The Company maintained a cautious liquidity strategy, with a positive cash balance throughout the year ended 31st March, 2024 and 31st March, 2023
The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet operational needs. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required) and any excess is invested in interest bearing term deposits and other highly marketable debt investments with appropriate maturities to optimise the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at the Balance Sheet date.
