2.18 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments
Provisions (legal and constructive) are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
• a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
• a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimates is possible;
• a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets and non cancellable operating lease.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
2.19 Application of New Revised Ind AS
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such notification which would have been applicable from April 1,2024.
2.20 Critical Estimates and Judgements
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.
2.21 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
i. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly depreciable lives are reviewed annually using the best information available to the management.
ii. Provisions and liabilities
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of
funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires application of j udgement to existing facts and circumstances, which may be subject to change. The amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
iii. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.
iv. Fair value measurements
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
v. Income Taxes
The Company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A tax assessement can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. The recognisation of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed j ndividually by the managment based on the specific facts and circumstances.
vi. Defined benefit obligations
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee benefits' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees' services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 40, ‘Employee benefits'.
vii. Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history, existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
viii. Impairment reviews
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (‘CGU') exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management's expectations of growth in EBITDA, long term growth rates; and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.
ix. Inventories
The Company estimates the net realisable value (NRV) of its inventories by taking into account their estimated selling price, estimated cost of completion, estimated costs necessary to make the sale, obsolescence by applying certain percentages over different age category of such inventories, expected loss rate considering the past trend and future outlook.Inventories are written down to NRV where such NRV is lower than their cost.
x. Sales Return
For Information about judgements made in applying the accounting policies for sales return that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in notes 2.11 above.

Note 37. Segment Information
37.1 Basis for segmentation
Based on the "Management approach" as defined in IND AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) does not evaluate the Group Performance", separately and hence the total business needs to be treated as one segment, "Pharmaceutical and related products". The products being sold under this segment are of similar nature and comprise of pharmaceutical products only.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) monitors the geographic segment of its business separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Geographical segments
Revenue is segregated into two segments namely India (sales to customer within India) and other countries (sales to customer outside India) on the basis of geographical location of customers for the purpose of reporting geographical segments. Segment asset are based on the geographical location of the asset.
Information about Major Customers
No Single Customer Account for 10% or More than 10% of Revenue from operation during the year ended March 31st, 2025. and March 31st, 2024

Some of these lease agreements have price escalation clauses. There are no restrictions imposed by these lease arrangements and there are no sub leases. There are no contingent rents.
The interest rate applied to lease liabilities is 10.00%.
Level 1 - Level 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have declared buyback NAV The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV
Level 2 -The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (like Mark to Market Derivative) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity- specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3- If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
42.3 Financial Risk Management
Group has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit Risk
• Liquidity Risk
• Market Risk
• Currency Risk
• Commodity Risk
Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies, under the guidance of the Audit Committee.
Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by it, 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. Company, through its training and procedures aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Company's Audit 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 Audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit committee.
42.3.ICredit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Before accepting any new customer, the company evaluates the credit worthiness of the potentional customers based on past history and other external inquiries as deemed appropriate. The Group also obtains the necessary KYC documents from all the customer for assessing the credit quality and defines the credit limits accordingly. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed once a year.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables, which are no interest bearing, are mainly from stockists, distributors and customers and are generally on 30 days to 180 days credit. To manage the credit risk from trade receivables, the Group periodically assess financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period.
As at March 31st, 2025, The Group had - 10 customers, (March 31st, 2024: 10 customers) that owed the group more than ? 19,816.80 lakhs (March 31st, 2024: ? 15,924.78 Lakhs) and accounted for approximately - 62.99 % and 48.27 % respectively of the total outstanding as at March 31st, 2025 and March 31st, 2024.
42.3.2 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Group objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Group closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate sources of financing including bilateral loans, debt, and overdraft from banks at an optimised cost. Working capital requirements are adequately addressed by internally generated funds. Trade receivables are kept within manageable levels.
42.4 Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk- sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk- sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Group is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Thus, the Group exposure to market risk is a function of borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
42.4.1 Interest Rate Risk Management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds from banks and institutions at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Group exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
42.4.1.1 Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company's (Contracted Interest Rate on all the borrowing) profit for the year ended March 31,2025 would decrease/increase by W 323.81 Lakhs. (for the year ended March 31st, 2024 decrease/increase by W 288.06 Lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings
42.4.2 Currency risk
The Group is also exposed to foreign currency risk on certain transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the Group functional currency; hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The risk is that the functional currency value of cash flows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates. The Group foreign exchange risk arises from foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars, Euros and GBP). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Group revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees may decrease or increase and vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
The following table analyses foreign currency risk as at the year end that have not been mitigated by a derivative instrument or otherwise are as below:
42.5 Commodity Rate Risk
Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Group's purchases and sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of the Group's raw materials generally fluctuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used in the Group's active pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. Cost of raw materials forms the largest portion of the Group's cost of revenues. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through operating procedures and sourcing policies. As of March 31st, 2025, the Group had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
42.6 Fair value measurements
The investment of the company are not readily marketable. Further the company has invested in the securities for the purpose of obtaining the credit facilities. Thus in this case the cost of the security represents the fair value.
Employee Stock Plan (‘ESOP’)
The Group has implemented Employee Stock Option Plan 2023 (‘ESOP 2023') as approved by the shareholders on 29th September, 2023. The ESOP 2023 covers all present and future permanent employees of the Group working in India or outside India, Employees of present and future Group Companies including Subsidiary or Associate Company(ies) in India or outside India and/or directors whether a whole-time director or not and/or such other persons, as may be permitted from time to time, under applicable Laws, rules and regulations and/or amendments thereto from time to time, are eligible to participate in this ESOP 2023 [collectively "eligible employees"].
