4.9 Provision, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets
a) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and 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 obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation, at the balances sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
b) Contingent Liabilities
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation arising as a result of past event that probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
c) Contingent Assets
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
4.10 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit/ loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
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 year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
4.11 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
The Company has taken certain assets on Operating Lease. Operating Lease is a contract, which conveys the right to Lessee, to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the lease term, in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease on inception.
The lease term is either the non-cancellable period of the lease and any additional periods when there is an enforceable option to extend the lease and it is reasonably certain that the Company will extend the term, or a lease period in which it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise a right to terminate. The lease term is reassessed if there is a significant change in circumstances.
At commencement, or on the modification, of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is amortized / depreciated using straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. If the lessor transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or if the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as the Company's other property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the total lease payments due on the commencement date, discounted using either the interest rate implicit in the lease, if readily determinable, or more usually, an estimate of the Company's incremental borrowing rate on the inception date for a loan with similar terms to the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the statement of profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
In accordance with Ind AS 116, the Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases i.e. leases with a lease
term of 12 months or less and containing no purchase options. Payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
4.12 Statement of Cash flows:
For the purpose of Standalone Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and other short term investments, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
4.13 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, using external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that a non¬ financial asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognized in the previous period/s. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is determined:
- in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the asset's fair value less cost of sell and value in use; and
- in the case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows) at the higher of the cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that effects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to that asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
An impairment loss for an asset is reversed, if and only if, the reversal can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss being recognized for the asset in prior year/s.
4.14 Fair value measurement
The Company measures its qualifying financial instruments at fair value on each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received against sale of 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 in the accessible principal market or the most advantageous accessible market as applicable.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy into Level I, Level II and Level III based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. For detailed information on the fair value hierarchy, refer note no. 32.14.
For assets and liabilities that are fair valued in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.
17.4 The Company has availed term loans and working capital facilities from various banks, however, slow down of its lending business and increased level of non-performing / impaired loan portfolio, has impacted its cash flow / liquidity, and the Company is un-able to service term loans and working capital facilities including interest thereon to certain banks as detailed in para 17.3 above. As the proposals for restructuring / settlement submitted by the Company was not accepted by the banks, and as in view of the Company the same was not justifiable considering the present financial and business compulsions of the Company, it is in talks with the banks for reconsideration of their decision and has also approached the Hon'ble Delhi High Court for necessary relief in the regard. The matter is sub-judice. As the Company is reasonably hopeful that its proposals for restructuring / settlement which include the waiver / reduction of interest will be finally approved / accepted, interest of Rs. 5,018.76 lakhs i.e. Rs. 1,459.32 lakhs for the current year and Rs. 3,559.44 lakhs for the period upto 31 March, 2023, though accrued on these loans, has not been provided in these financial statements.

The Company aims to maintain a strong capital base to support the risks inherent to its business and growth strategies. The Company endeavors to maintain a higher capital base than the mandated regulatory capital at all times. Planning
The Company's assessment of capital requirement is aligned to its planned growth which forms part of an annual operating plan which is approved by the ALCO and also a long-range strategy. These growth plans are aligned to assessment of risks- which include credit, liquidity and interest rate.
The Company monitors its capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) on a yearly basis through its Assets Liability Management Committee (ALCO).

32.13 Fair Values
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique.
In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques.
This note describes the fair value measurement of both financial and non-financial instruments.
Valuation framework
The Company has an internal fair value assessment team which assesses the fair values for assets qualifying for fair valuation.
The Company's valuation framework includes:
• Benchmarking prices against observable market prices or other independent sources;
• Development and validation of fair valuation models using model logic, inputs, outputs and adjustments. These valuation models are subject to a process of due diligence and validation before they become operational and are continuously calibrated. These models are subject to approvals by various functions of the Company. Finance function is responsible for establishing procedures, governing valuation and ensuring fair values are in compliance with Indian accounting standards.
Valuation methodologies adopted
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 values:
a. Fair values of strategic investments in equity instruments designated under FVOCI have been measured under level 3.
b. Fair value of loans held under a business model that is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and partially selling the loans through partial assignment to willing buyers and which contain contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at FVOCI. The fair value of these loans has been determined under level 3.
c. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets and liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short-term nature.
32.14 Fair Values Hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Valuation based on quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Valuation based on using observable inputs: financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued using models where all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3: Valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs: - financial instruments valued using valuation techniques where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments are given below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising out of a customer or counterparty failing to meet their repayment obligations to the Company. It has a diversified lending model and focuses on broad categories viz: business, mortgages, and commercial lending. The Company assesses the credit quality of all financial instruments that are subject to credit risk.
Classification of financial assets under various stages
The Company classifies its financial assets in three stages having the following characteristics:
Stage1: unimpaired and without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a 12-month allowance for ECL is recognised;
Stage 2: a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a lifetime ECL is recognised;
Stage 3: objective evidence of impairment, and are therefore considered to be in default or otherwise credit impaired on which a lifetime ECL is recognised.
Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when they are 90 days past due (DPD) and are accordingly transferred from stage 1 to stage 2. For stage 1 an ECL allowance is calculated based on a 12-month Point in Time (PIT) probability weighted probability of default (PD). For stage 2 and 3 assets a life time ECL is calculated based on a lifetime PD.
The Company has calculated ECL using three main components: a probability of default (PD), a loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD) along with an adjustment considering forward macro-economic conditions [for a detailed note for methodology of computation of ECL please refer to significant accounting policies note no 4.3(i) to the financial statements].
Financial instruments other than loans were subjected to simplified ECL approach under Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments' and accordingly were not subject to sensitivity of future economic conditions.
The table below summarises the approach adopted by the Company for various components of ECL viz. PD, EAD and LGD across product lines using empirical data where relevant
32.20 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued a notification Companies (Accounts) Amendment Rules, 2021, which is effective from 1st April, 2023, states that every Company which uses accounting software for maintaining its books of account shall use only the accounting software where there is a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, and further creating an edit log of each change made to books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled. The Company has used accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software, except in certain components where the audit trail were not recorded / operating due to system limitations. Further, it was not tempered at any time during the year.
32.21 During the previous year ended 31 March, 2023, Company had written off loans having gross amount (including interest accrued thereon) of Rs. 5,080.47 lakhs and also reversed impairment loss allowance of Rs. 4,026.86 lakhs held on these loans, as in view of the management, there was very low probability of recovery of these loans, however, the litigation / recovery process are continued in the normal course. The reversal of impairment loss allowance on these loans after their write off had also resulted in reversal of deferred tax assets of Rs. 1,013.48 lakhs during the previous year. Further, during the year, an impairment loss allowance of Rs. 811.01 lakhs had been booked on the investment and loan given to the Subsidiary Company, based on the latest assessment of its recoverability.
32.22 In absence of virtual uncertainty regarding availability of the sufficient taxable income in future, the deferred tax assets has not been recognised on accumulated brought forwarded and current tax losses, however, has created Deferred tax assets (net) of Rs. 322.57 lakhs during the current year mainly on impairment on loan and investment in Subsidiary (as detailed in note 32.21 above) and had reversed the Deferred tax assets (net) of Rs. 863.52 lakhs during the previous year, i.e. net of reversal of deferred tax assets of Rs. 1,013.48 lakhs on impairment loss on the loans (as detailed in note 32.21 above) and creation of deferred tax liabilities of Rs. 149.96 lakhs on other temporary differences.
32.23 Wilful Defaulter:
