benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
(ii) Post-employment benefits: (a) Defined contribution plans: The Company’s superannuation scheme, state governed
provident fund scheme, employee state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defined contribution plans.

covered by the Ind AS. The Company has adopted modified retrospective approach as stated in Ind AS 116 for all
applicable leases on the date of adoption.
Measurement of Lease Liability
At the time of initial recognition, the Company measures lease liability as present value of all lease payments discounted
using the Company’s incremental cost of borrowing and directly attributable costs. Subsequently, the lease liability is -
(i) increased by interest on lease liability;
(ii) reduced by lease payments made; and
(iii) remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications specified in Ind AS 116 'Leases', or to reflect revised
fixed lease payments.
Measurement of Riaht-of-use assets
At the time of initial recognition, the Company measures 'Right-of-use assets' as present value of all lease payments
discounted using the Company’s incremental cost of borrowing w.r.t said lease contract. Subsequently, 'Right-of-use assets'
is measured using cost model i.e. at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability specified in Ind AS 116 'Leases'.
Depreciation on 'Right-of-use assets' is provided on straight line basis over the lease period.
3.14 : 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, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 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 a detailed information on the fair value hierarchy, refer note no. 28.
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 categorisation (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.
3.15 : Statement of cash flows:
Statement of cash flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow
from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
(i) changes during the period in operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature
(ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealised gains and losses; and
(iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items which are not
available for general use as on the date of Balance Sheet.

calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or
loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for

Note 27 : Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 107 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”: Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings and other financial liabilities . The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance
the Company's operations and to support its operations. The Company's financial assets include loan and advances, cash and cash equivalents that
derive directlv from its ooerations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s board of directors has an overall responsibility for the establishment
and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The board of directors has established the risk management committee, which is
responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and
controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market
conditions and the Company's activities. The Company’s risk management committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the
Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the
Company The major risks are summarised below:
1- Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party to financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and
arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and loans. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk
exposure. The Company's major income generating activity is gold loan, vehicle loan, business loans and others. Therefore credit risk is a principal risk.
Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances to customers that are an asset position. The Company considers all elements of credit risk exposure
such as counterparty default risk, risk of not taking collateral against loans, geographical risk and sector risk for risk management purposes.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the
factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry. The risk management committee has
established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and
delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency
information, industry information etc.
Policies and procedure for credit risk for different products
The Company addresses credit risk bv following different processes for different product:
Gold Loan
a) Credit risk on Gold loan is considerably reduced as collateral is in the form of Gold ornaments which can be easily liquidated and there is only a distant
possibility of losses due to adequate margin of 25% or more retained while disbursing the loan. Credit risk is further reduced through a quick but careful
collateral appraisal and loan approval process. Hence overall, the Credit risk is normally low.
b) Sanctioning powers for Gold Loans is delegated to Manager of the company. Sanctioning powers is used only for granting loans for legally permitted
purposes. The maximum Loan to Value stipulated bv the Reserve Bank of India does not exceed under any circumstances.
c) Gold ornaments brought for pledge is the primary responsibility of Manager. Extra care is taken if the gold jewellery brought for pledge by any customer
at any one time or cumulatively is more than 20 gm. Manager records the questions asked to the customer for ascertaining the ownership of the gold
jewellery and also the responses given bv the customer In a register for future reference.
d) Auctions are conducted as per the Auction Policy of the Company and the guidelines Issued by Reserve Bank of India. Auction Is generally conducted
before loan amount plus Interest exceeds realizable value of gold. After reasonable time Is given to the customers for release after loan becomes overdue
and exhausting all efforts for persuasive recovery, auction Is resorted to as the last measure In unavoidable cases. Company has the right to recover dues
remaining even after set off of amount received on auctions from the customer. Any excess amount received on auctions over and above the dues are
refunded to the customer.
Vehicle Loan
The credit risk management policy of the Group seeks to have following controls and key metrics that allows credit risks to be identified, assessed,
monitored and reported in a timely and efficient manner in compliance with regulatory requirements:
i) Standardize the process of identifying new risks and designing appropriate controls for these risks
ii) Minimize losses due to defaults or untimely payments by borrowers
iii) Maintain an appropriate credit administration and loan review system
iv) Design appropriate credit risk mitigation techniques
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances existing on that date to identify expected losses on
account of time value of money and credit risk. For the purposes of this analysis, the loan receivables are categorised into Company's based on days past
due. Each Company is then assessed for impairment using the ECL model as per the provisions of Ind AS 109 - financial instruments. The Company
recognises loss allowance for ECLs on Loans and advances to customers as per Income recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning (IRACP)
norms notified by RBI.
Staging:
As per the provision of Ind AS 109 general approach all financial instruments are allocated to stage 1 on initial recognition. However, if a significant
increase in credit risk is identified at the reporting date compared with the initial recognition, then an instrument is transferred to stage 2. If there is
objective evidence of impairment, then the asset is credit impaired and transferred to stage 3.
The Company considers a financial instrument defaulted and therefore Stage 3 (credit-impaired) for ECL calculations in all cases when the borrower
becomes 90 days oast due on its contractual payments. A
3- Market rate risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. In the case of the
Company, market risk primarily impacts financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. Market risk includes interest rate risk and
foreign currency risk.
a) 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 does not have exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate as it has debt obligations with fixed interest rates which are measured at
amortised cost.
b) Foreign currency risk
The Company does not have any instrument denominated or traded in foreign currency. Hence, such risk does not affect the Company.
4- Price risk
For Gold Loan
Sudden fall in the gold price and fall in the value of the pledged gold ornaments can result in some of the customers to default if the loan amount and
interest exceeds the market value of gold. This risk is in part mitigated by a minimum 25% margin retained on the value of jewellery for the purpose of
calculation of the loan amount. Further, we appraise the jewellery collateral solely based on the weight of its gold content, excluding weight and value of
the stone studded in the jewellery. In addition, the sentimental value of the gold jewellery to the customers may induce repayment and redemption of the
collateral even if the value of gold ornaments falls below the value of the repayment amount. An occasional decrease in gold prices will increase price risk
significantly on account of our adequate collateral security margins. However, a sustained decrease in the market price of gold can additionally cause a
decrease in the size of our loan portfolio and our interest income. a
Measurement of fair values
i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities which are at amortised cost are considered to be the same as their fair values as there is no
material differences in the carrying values presented.
ii) Financial instruments - fair value
The fair value of financial instruments 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 measurement).
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices;
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active market is determined using valuation technique which maximizes the use of
observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value on instrument are observable,
the instrument is included in level 2; and
Level 3: If one or more of significant input is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
6- lntra-group exposures: Not Applicable. The Company does not have any holding, subsidiary or associate company.
7- Unhedged foreign currency exposure: Nil. The Company does not have any unhedged foreign currency exposure.
