3.13 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
(i) Provisions:
Provisions are recognized 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 recognized 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).
Warranty Provisions: Product warranty expenses are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty cost in the period of recognition of revenue.
Provisions for liquidated damages claims (LDs) : The Company provides for LD claims to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This requires an estimate of the amount of LDs payable under a claim which involves a number of management judgments and assumptions regarding the amounts to be recognised.
(ii) Contingent Liabilities and Assets:
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
3.14 Foreign currency transactions and translation
The transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rates. Non¬ monetary items including advances measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not translated. Non¬ monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit & loss in the period in which they arise.
3.15 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of other entity.
(A) Financial Assets:
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
All Financial Assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction cost that are attributable to the acquisition of the Financial Asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Subsequent measurement:
For subsequent measurement, the Company
classifies a financial asset in accordance with the
below criteria:
a. The Company's business model for managing the financial asset and
b. The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:
A financial asset is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The Company's business model objective for managing the financial asset is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such Financial Assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or cost that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. Apart from the same, any income or expense arising from remeasurement of financial assets measured at amortised cost, in accordance with Ind AS 109, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
2) Financial assets measured at FVTOCI:
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if both of the following conditions are met:
a) The Company's business model objective for managing the financial asset is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are initially measured at Fair Value, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument are recognised as other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVTOCI.
3) Financial assets measured at FVTPL:
A financial asset is measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. This is a residual category applied to all other investments of the Company excluding investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate companies, which are recorded at cost and tested for impairment in case of any such indication of impairment. Such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value changes are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised as 'other income' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) Foreign exchange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss except for those which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship.
(iv) Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company's Balance Sheet) when any of the following occurs:
i. The contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expires,
ii. The Company transfers its contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset and has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset,
iii. The Company retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows without material delay to one or more recipients under a 'pass-through' arrangement (thereby substantially transferring all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset),
iv. The Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risk and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the financial asset.
In cases where Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the financial asset, but retains control of the financial asset, the Company continues to recognize such financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The financial asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset.
(v) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost credit - impaired.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The Company follows a 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Under the simplified
approach, the Company is not required to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognised impairment loss allowance based on lifetime Expected credit losses ('ECL") together with appropriate Management's estimate of credit loss at each reporting date, from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the group of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. Measurement of expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfall (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write off the gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the customer does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(B) Financial Liabilities and equity instruments :
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(i) Equity instruments:
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a Company entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
a. Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or payables, as appropriate.
On initial recognition, financial liabilities are recognised at fair value. In case of financial liabilities which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss, its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction costs are attributed to the acquisition or issue of the financial liabilities.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
b. Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. All other financial liabilities such as deposits are measured at amortised cost using EIR method.
For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount that approximates the fair value is used due to the short maturity of these instruments.
c. Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the Derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(C) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
3.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet and for the purpose of standalone statement of cash flows comprise cash on hand and balances with bank in current accounts and short term deposits with an original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
3.17 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
3.18 Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities is reported using indirect
method, adjusting the profit before tax excluding exceptional items for the effects of:
(i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
(ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency 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 at the date of Balance Sheet.
3.19 Commitments
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
(i) estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
(ii) other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management.
Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details.
3.20 Current and Non-current classification of assets and liabilities
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS-1 'Presentation of Standalone Standalone financial statements' and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 .
3.21 Fair Value Measurement
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these Standalone financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 102 and measurements that have some
similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, Level 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurements in its entirety which are described as follows:
Level 1 — inputs are quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liability.
4 Critical Accounting Judgments, Assumptions and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the Company's Standalone financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Standalone financial statements:
4.1 Useful lives of Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE)
The Company has adopted useful lives of PPE as described in Note 3.1 above. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of PPE at the end of each reporting period.
4.2 Fair value measurements and valuation processes
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value in accordance with the accounting policies mentioned above. For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the Standalone financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period and discloses the same. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair values of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 41.
4.3 Impairment of Trade Receivables
The Company estimates the credit allowance as per practical expedient based on historical credit loss experience based on the ageing of receivables.
4.4 Impairment of Investments
At the end of each reporting period, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments where there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
4.5 Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) are recognised for the unused tax losses/ credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses will be utilised. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
4.6 Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO)
Management's estimate of Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) is based on number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the Defined Benefit Obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
4.7 Contingent Liabilities
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 recognised. Potential liabilities that are remote are neither recognised nor disclosed as contingent liability. The management decides whether the matters needs to be classified as 'remote', 'possible' or 'probable' based on expert advice, past judgements, experiences etc.
4.8 Accounting for revenue from contracts wherein company satisfies performance obligation and recognises revenue over time
For contracts wherein performance obligation are satisfied over time, an entity recognises revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation, in order to depict an entity's performance in transferring control of goods or services promised to a customer. This method requires estimates of the total revenue and total costs of the contract, as well as measurement of progress achieved to date as a proportion of the total work to be performed. This involves determination of margin to be recognised on the contract, which are dependent on the total costs to complete contracts, that is, the cost incurred till date and estimation of future cost to complete the contract and price variations etc. This estimation involves exercise of significant judgement by the management in making cost forecasts considering future activities to be carried out in the contract, and the related assumptions etc. Experience reduces but does not eliminate the risk that estimates may change significantly.
4.9 Warranty obligations
The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are sold. The Company's product warranty obligations and estimations thereof are determined using historical information of claims received up to the year end and the management's estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period. Any changes in such trends can materially affect warranty expenses.
4.10 Provisions for liquidated damages claims (LDs)
The Company provides for LD claims to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. This requires an estimate of the amount of LDs payable under a claim which involves a number of management judgments and assumptions regarding the amounts to be recognised based on delay in completing obligation under each contract.

Nature and purpose of reserves:
(i) General Reserve
The General Reserve is a free reserve which is used from time to time to transfer profits from Other Equity for appropriation purposes. As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the general reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to statement of profit and loss.
Under the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956, general reserve created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfer was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable amount as per the results for that year.
Consequent to the introduction of the Companies Act, 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.
(ii) Share Based Payment Reserve
The Company has employee stock option plan under which the Company has granted Stock options to employees, key managerial personnel and director of the Company. Refer note 50 for further details.
(iii) Retained Earnings
Retained earning are the net profit that the Company has earned / incurred till date, less any transfer to general reserves, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings also includes re-measurement loss / (gain) on defined benefit plans net of taxes that will not be reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.

35. Disclosures under Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company is in the business of manufacture of cryogenic liquid storage and transport tanks and related products and earns revenue from sale of products and rendering of related services. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. In determining the transaction price for the sale of products, the company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
35. Disclosures under Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Contd..)

A. Actuarial Risk : The risk of higher-than-expected benefit costs due to:
Adverse Salary Growth : Faster obligation growth from higher salary hikes.
Variability in Mortality Rates : Earlier gratuity payouts due to higher mortality, accelerating cash flow and causing actuarial gains/ losses based on assumed salary growth and discount rates (no vesting for death benefits).
Variability in Withdrawal Rates : Earlier gratuity payouts from higher withdrawals, with the impact depending on vesting at resignation.
B. Investment Risk:
For insured funded plans, the insurer's asset valuation may not equal the fair value of the backing assets. This means the present value of assets doesn't change with future discount rates, potentially causing large swings in net liability or funded status if the discount rate changes significantly between valuations.
C. Liquidity Risk:
High-earning, long-tenured, or senior employees accumulating substantial benefits pose a liquidity risk. Their resignation or retirement can strain company cash flows due to significant payouts.
38. Employee Benefit Plans (Contd..)
D. Market Risk:
Market risk encompasses risks arising from financial market volatility. A key actuarial assumption significantly affected by this is the discount rate, which reflects the time value of money. Higher discount rates lower the Defined Benefit Obligation, and vice versa. Since this rate is tied to corporate/government bond yields, liability valuation is sensitive to yield fluctuations at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk involves potential increases in plan liabilities or decreases in assets due to changes in laws or regulations. For instance, amendments to the Payment of Gratuity Act could mandate higher benefits, immediately increasing the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation in the year the amendment takes effect.
39. Segment Information

The capital structure of Company consists of net (surplus) ( borrowings as detailed in Note 22 offset by cash and bank balance detailed in Note 14, Note 15, Note 10 & Investment in Mutual Funds detailed in Note 8C) and total equity of the Company.
Note :
(a) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost is not materially different from its carrying value. Further, impact of time value of money is not significant for the financial instruments classified as current. Accordingly, the fair value has not been disclosed separately.
(b) Trade Receivables, Cash and Cash equivalents, Other bank balance, Other financial assets, Borrowings (including through bonds), Trade Payables and Other Current Financial Liabilities: Fair values approximate their carrying amounts largely due to fixed maturities of these instruments.
The Company's corporate finance function provides services to the business, coordinates access to financial market, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of the risk. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings,lease, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations, routine and capital expenditure. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, investment in mutual funds, advances, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of an asset will fluctuate as a result of changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual investment or its issuer or factors affecting all investments traded in the market.
Market risk is managed on the basis of pre-determined asset allocations across various asset categories, diversification of assets in terms of geographical distribution and industry concentration, a continuous appraisal of market conditions and trends and management's estimate of long and short term changes in fair value.
The Board of Directors oversee the risk management activities for managing each of these risks which are summarised below :
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk refers to the possibility that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. In order to balance the Company's position with regards to interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive interest rate risk management.
In case of fluctuation in interest rates by 50 basis points and all other variable held constant, the Group's Profit or loss before tax for the year would increase / decrease as follows:
The Company operates internationally with transactions entered into several currencies. Consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk towards honouring of export/ import commitments.
The Company is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency values impact the Company exports revenue, imports of material/ capital goods and services and exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameter
Foreign exchange transactions are covered within limits placed on the amount of uncovered exposure, if any, at any point in time. The aim of the Company's approach to management of currency risk is to leave the Company with no material residual risk.
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments and mutual funds. The company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments in subsidiaries and other Companies are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Company does not actively trade these investments. The Company is also exposed to price risk arising from investments in debt mutual funds, but these being debt instruments, the exposure to risk of changes in market rates is minimal.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investment in mutual funds, balances with banks, loans and other receivables. To manage this, the company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of account receivables. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The Company 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 throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. The company considers reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the company.
a) Trade receivables
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The average credit period on sales of products is approximately 72 days. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and diverse. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis.
The Company's concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low, as its customer's base is widely spread across the length and breadth of the country. The Company has assessed and evaluated the expected credit loss for the current year to be H 93.73 Lakh (Previous year H 90 Lakh).
No significant changes in estimation techniques or assumptions were made during the reporting period.
b) Other financial assets
Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the various credit rating agencies.
Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk 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 treasury function is responsible for maintenance of liquidity , continuity of funding as well as timely settlement of debts. In addition, policies related to mitigation of risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows vis-a-vis debt service fulfilment obligation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the committee of Board of Directors for operations, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long¬ term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
