xv Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is 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 embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions (excluding gratuity and compensated absences) are determined based on management's estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In case the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. A contingent liability also arises, in rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements.
xvi Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other ancillary costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
All borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss except:
a) Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets.
b) Expenses incurred on raising long term borrowings are amortised using effective interest rate method over the period of borrowings.
Investment Income earned on the temporary investment of funds of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
xvii Income
(i) Interest income
The Company recognises interest income using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) on all financial assets subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). EIR is calculated by considering all costs and incomes attributable to acquisition of a financial asset or assumption of a financial liability and it represents a rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments/receipts through the expected life of the financial asset/financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
The Company recognises interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial assets other than credit-impaired assets. In case of credit-impaired financial assets regarded as 'stage 3', the Company recognises interest income on the amortised cost net of impairment loss of the financial asset at EIR. If the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, the Company reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis.
Delayed payment interest (penal interest) levied on customers for delay in repayments/non payment of contractual cash flows is recognised on realisation.
Interest on financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) is recognised at the contractual rate of interest.
(ii) Dividend income
Dividend income on equity shares is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
(iii) Rental income
Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
(iv) Other revenue from operations
The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers (other than financial assets to which Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments' is applicable) based on a comprehensive assessment model as set out in Ind AS 115 'Revenue from contracts with customers'. The Company identifies contract(s) with a customer and its performance obligations under the contract, determines the transaction price and its allocation to the performance obligations in the contract and recognises revenue only on satisfactory completion of performance obligations. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
(a) Fees and commission
The Company recognises service and administration charges towards rendering of additional services to its loan customers on satisfactory completion of service delivery.
Fees on value added services and products are recognised on rendering of services and products to the customer.
Distribution income is earned by selling of services and products of other entities under distribution arrangements. The income so earned is recognised on successful sales on behalf of other entities subject to there being no significant uncertainty of its recovery.
Foreclosure charges are collected from loan customers for early payment/closure of loan and are recognised on realisation.
(b) Net gain on fair value changes
Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), as applicable. The Company recognises gains/losses on fair value change of financial assets measured as FVTPL and realised gains/losses on derecognition of financial asset measured at FVTPL and FVOCI.
(c) Recoveries of financial assets written off
The Company recognises income on recoveries of financial assets written off on realisation or when the right to receive the same without any uncertainties of recovery is established.
(v) Taxes
Incomes are recognised net of the Goods and Services Tax, wherever applicable.
xviii Expenditures
(i) Finance costs
Borrowing costs on financial liabilities are recognised using the EIR.
(ii) Fees and commission expenses
Fees and commission expenses which are not directly linked to the sourcing of financial assets, such as commission/ incentive incurred on value added services and products distribution, recovery charges and fees payable for management of portfolio etc., are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis.
(iii) Taxes
Expenses are recognised net of the Goods and Services Tax, except where credit for the input tax is not statutorily permitted.
xix Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different markets. The Company has identified three business segments - Investment & Trading in Shares & Securities, Finance activities & Unallocable. Unallocable item include income, expenses, assets and liabilities which are not allowed to any reportable business segement. The segment revenues, results, assets and liabilities include the respective amounts identifiable to each of the segment and amounts allocated on a reasonable basis. Accordingly, these financial statements are reflective of the information required by the Ind AS 108 "Operating segments".
xx Provision for standard assets and non-performing assets
The Company makes provision for standard assets and non-performing assets as per Non-Banking Financial Company - Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Company and Deposit taking Company (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016. Provision for standard assets in excess of the prudential norms, as estimated by the management, is categorised under Provision for Standard Assets, as General provisions and/or as Gold Price Fluctuation Risk provisions.

Statutory reserve
No amount is transferred to statutory reserve fund pursuant to sec 45-IC of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, as company has incurred loss during the current year.
Retained earnings

Note 32 : Disclosure relating to employee benefits as per Ind AS 19 'Employee Benefits'
Defined benefit obligation Gratuity
The company provides for the gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering qualifying employees . The plan provides for lump sum payments to employees upon death while in employment or on separation from employment after serving for the stipulated period mentioned under The payment of gratuity Act, 1972.
The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
Note 36: Segment Reporting
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of financing. All the activities of the company revolve around the main business. Further, the company does not have any separate geographic segments other than India.

In computing the segment information, certain estimates and assumptions have been made by the management, which have been relied upon.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) monitors the operating results of its business units separately for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profits or losses and is measured consistently with operating profits or losses in the financial statements. However, income taxes are managed on a entity as whole basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
Note 38 : Financial risk management framework
In the course of its business, the company is exposed to certain financial risks namely credit risk, interest risk, currency risk & liquidity risk. The company's primary focus is to achieve better predictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
The financial risks are managed in accordance with the company's risk management policy which has been approved by its board of directors
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flow of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The company do not have any exposure to foreign exchange rate.
Interest rate risk
The company uses a mix of cash and borrowings to manage the liquidity & fund requirements of its day-to-day operations. Further, certain interest bearing liabilities carry variable interest rates.
The interest rate profile of the company's interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the company is as follows:
Currency risk:
Currently company does not have transaction in foreign currencies and hence the company is not exposed to currency risk.
Price risk:
The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from investments held by the company and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investment in equity securities, the company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the company. The majority of the company's equity investments are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) or the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in India.
Profit for the period would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on exchange traded funds equity securities classified as fair value through profit or loss, if any. Other components of equity would increase/decrease as a result of gain/losses on equity securities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.
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. 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:
Stage 1: 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."
Financial instruments were not subjected to simplified ECL approach under Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments' and accordingly were not subject to sensitivity of future economic conditions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The company's management is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
Note 38 : Financial risk management framework (continued)
"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 the 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 a 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 has not disclosed the fair values for financial instruments for other financial assets, loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash & cash equivalents, Trade payables, borrowings and financial liabilities because their carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of their fair values.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
"Fair value hierarchy explains the judgement and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are -
a) recognized and measured at fair value
b) measured at amortized 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 company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.
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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
The company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The capital structure of the company is based on management's judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. We consider the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manage the capital structure
“Owned fund" means paid up equity capital, preference shares which are compulsorily convertible into equity, free reserves, balance in share premium account and capital reserves representing surplus arising out of sale proceeds of asset, excluding reserves created by revaluation of asset, as reduced by accumulated loss balance, book value of intangible assets and deferred revenue expenditure, if any.
