(k) Provisions and other contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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 the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed 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. Claims against the Company, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
(l) Taxes
(i) Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities are realised simultaneously.
(iii) Current and deferred tax for the year:
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise the net amount of short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash (short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less) and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, cheques on hand and balances with banks. They are held for the purposes of meeting short-term cash commitments (rather than for investment or other purposes).
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short- term deposits, as defined above.
3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of ?nancial statements in conformity with the Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosure and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected. Although these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
In particular, information about signi?cant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most signi?cant effect on the amounts recognized in the ?nancial statements is included in the following notes:
Critical judgements in applying accounting polices :
(i) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments 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 another valuation technique. When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimation is required in establishing fair values. Judgements and estimates include considerations of liquidity and model inputs related to items such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), funding value adjustments, correlation and volatility.
(ii) Impairment of Non-Financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is higher of an asset's fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
(iii) Provision and contingent liabilities
The Company operates in a regulatory and legal environment that, by nature, has a heightened element of litigation risk inherent to its operations. As a result, it is involved in various litigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations and proceedings in the ordinary course of its business.
When the Company can reliably measure the outflow of economic benefits in relation to a specific case and considers such outflows to be probable, the Company records a provision against the case. Where the probability of outflow is considered to be remote, or probable, but a reliable estimate cannot be made, a contingent liability is disclosed.
Given the subjectivity and uncertainty of determining the probability and amount of losses, the Company takes into account a number of factors including legal advice, the stage of the matter and historical evidence from similar incidents. Significant judgment is required to conclude on these estimates.
(iv) Provisions for Income Taxes
Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgement on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4 Recent pronouncements
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31,2023, the MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, from April 1,2023, as listed below:
(i) IND AS 101 - First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards
The amendment relates to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from single transactions, deferred tax assets related to leases and decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities for the transition date falling after April 1, 2022. The amendment has no impact on the Company as IND AS has already been implemented.
(ii) IND AS 102 - Share Based Payment
The amendment relates to the footnote to Paragraph 24 which is clarificatory in nature.
(iii) IND AS 103 - Business Combination
The amendment relates to disclosure to Paragraph 13(2) which is clarificatory in nature. The amendment has no impact on the Company.
(iv) IND AS 107 - Financial Instruments - Disclosures
The amendment to this Standard is consequential to the amendment made in Ind AS 1.
(v) IND AS 109 - Financial Instruments
The amendment relates to non applicability of Paragraph B4.3.11 to embedded derivative contracts acquired in business combination. The amendment has no impact on the Company.
(vi) IND AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The amendment relates to realignment of Paragraph 51 and Appendix B. The amendment has no impact on the Company.
(vii) IND AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company/Group does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
(viii) IND AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company/Group does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements
(ix) IND AS 12 - Income Taxes
Paragraph 15 and 24 relating to recognition of deferred tax liability and asset, has been amended to include exemption for taxable temporary differences arising (i) at the time of transaction, that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss) and (ii) at the time of transaction, that does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
Paragraph 22A has been inserted to clarify that deferred tax assets and liabilities on Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities to be recognized on gross basis.
This amendment is effective from April 1,2022. The effect of above amendment for the period as of April 1,2022 needs to be taken to OCI. Other amendments to this Standard are consequential to the above amendment.
(x) IND AS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting
The amendment to this Standard is consequential to the amendment made in Ind AS 1 and is not applicable to the Company.
4.1 Refer to Note 3.0 on recent pronouncements on IND AS 12 Taxes on Income, which is applicable from April 1,2022 relating to recognition of deferred tax asset/liabilities on Right of Use Assets and Lease Liability. In the next financial year the lease of the property is terminating; the amount of Right of Use Assets and Lease Liability for the year under consideration is insignificant and therefore, impact of the amendment has not been considered in the current financial year
30. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is exclusively engaged in the business of of financial activites which includes trading and investment in shares, granting of loans, etc., since the nature of these business are exposed to similar risks and return profiles, hence they are collectively operating under a single segment. Accordingly the Company does not have any reportable Segments as per Indian Accounting Standard 108 "Operating Segments".
31. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS A. Valuation Principles
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:
Level 1 - Valuation technique using quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Valuation technique using observable inputs: Those where the inputs that are used for valuation and are significant, are derived from directly or indirectly observable market data available over the entire period of the instrument's life.
Level 3 - Valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs: Those that include one or more unobservable input that is significant to the measurement as whole.
C. Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments measured at fair value Mutual Funds
The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (‘NAV’) as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
Equity Shares
Equity shares are fair valued based on their quoted market prices at the end of reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial asset held by the Company is the current bid price. Such instruments are classified as Level 1.
D. Fair value of financial instrument not measured at fair value
The table below is a comparison, of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the financial statements. This table does not include the fair values of non-financial assets and non¬ financial liabilities.
E. Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments not measured at fair value
Below are the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values for the above financial instruments which are not recorded and measured at fair value in the Company's financial statements. These fair values were calculated for disclosure purposes only. The below methodologies and assumptions relate only to the instruments in the above tables and, as such, may differ from the techniques and assumptions explained in notes.
Short Term Financial Assets and Liabilities
For financial assets and financial liabilities that have a short-term maturity (less than twelve months), the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair value. Such instruments include: cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets and other financial liabilities.
Loans
These Financial Assets are recorded at Amortised Cost.
32. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability 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. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for managing the risk profile of the Company. The purpose of risk management is to identify potential problems before they occur, so that risk-handling activities may be planned and invoked as needed to manage adverse impacts on achieving objectives.
(A) 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 and arises principally from the Company’s trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and financial assets measured at amortised cost.“Exposure to credit risk is mitigated through regular monitoring of collections, counterparty’s creditworthiness and diversification in exposure.
Exposure to Credit Risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum amount of credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as per the table below, it being total of carrying amount of trade and other receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) on Financial Assets
The Company continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument is subject to 12 month ECL (12mECL) or life time ECL (LTECL), the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or the asset has become credit impaired since initial recognition. The Company applies following quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk or the asset has been credit impaired:
- Historical trend of collection from counterparty
- Company’s contractual rights with respect to recovery of dues from counterparty
- Credit rating of counterparty and any relevant information available in public domain.
ECL is a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. It is measured as the present value of cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
The Company has following type of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss:
(i) Trade and other receivables
Exposures to customers’ outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of collection from counterparties on timely basis reflects low level of credit risk. As the Company has a contractual right to such receivables as well as the control over such funds due from customers, the Company does not estimate any credit risk in relation to such receivables.
(ii) Cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents . The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be high.
(B) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of mismatches in the timing of the cash flows under both normal and stress circumstances. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions is not available to the Company on acceptable terms.
To limit this risk, management has adopted a policy of managing assets with liquidity in mind and monitoring future cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. The Company has developed internal control processes for managing liquidity risk.
The Company maintains a portfolio of highly marketable and diverse assets that are assumed to be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption in cash flow. The Company assesses the liquidity position under a variety of scenarios, giving due consideration to stress factors relating to both the market in general and specifically to the company.
(C) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows related to financial instrument that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, other prices). The Com¬ pany is exposed to market risk primarily related to interest rate risk and price risk.
(i) Interest Rate Risk
The Company is mainly exposed to the interest rate risk for its Loans and Advances. The interest rate risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market interest rate on these Loans.
As at March 31, 2024 Gross Amount of Loan given is INR 7,96,00,000/- (March 31, 2023: INR 7,56,00,000/-). These are exposed to interest rate risk.
Sensitivity Analysis
The table below sets out the effect of increase/decrease in interest rates of 1%:
(ii) Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices and related market variables including interest rate for investments in debt oriented mutual funds and debt securities, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or the market. The Company’s exposure to price risk arises from investments in equity securities and units of mutual funds which are classified as financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss and is as follows:

33. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company maintains an actively managed capital base to cover risks inherent in the business which includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to equity holders of the Company.
As an NBFC, the RBI requires to maintain a minimum capital to risk weighted assets ratio (“CRAR”) consisting of Tier I and Tier II Capital of 15% of our aggregate risk weighted assets. Further, the total of Tier II capital cannot exceed 100% of Tier I capital at any point of time. The capital management process of the Company ensures to maintain a healthy CRAR at all the times.
37) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) vide its circular no. RBI/2021-2022/125 DOR.STR.REC.68/21.04.048/2021-22, dated 12 November 2021 on "Prudential norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning (IRACP) pertaining to Advances - Clarifications", had clarified / harmonized certain aspects of extant regulatory guidelines with a view to ensuring uniformity in the implementation of IRACP norms across all lending institutions.
