3.19 Accounting of provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized, when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, where it is probable that there will be outflow of resources to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where 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. Where the effect is material, the provision is discounted to net present value using an appropriate current market-based pre-tax discount rate and the unwinding of the discount is included in finance costs.
Contingent liabilities are recognised only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, due to occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Company, or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources, or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are
assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are provided for.
Contingent assets are not disclosed in the financial statements unless an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
3.20 Dividend to equity shareholders
Dividend to equity shareholders is recognised as a liability and deducted from shareholders' equity, in the period in which the dividends are approved by the equity shareholders in thegeneral meeting.
3.21 Earnings pershare (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary equity shares, for the effects of all dilutive potential Ordinary shares.
3.22 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures as at date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses for the years presented. 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 under different assumptions and conditions.
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 periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized inthefinancial statements:
Discount rate used to determine the carrying amount of the Company's defined benefit obligation
In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans assets, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds as provided by LIC, in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
Contingencies and commitments
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigations and other claims against the Company.
Where the potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallizing or are very difficult to quantify reliably, we treat them as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, we do not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on our financial position or profitability.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described above, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. During the current financial year, the management determined that there were no changes to the useful lives and residual values of the property, plant and equipment.
Allowances fordoubtful debts
The Company makes allowances for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables. The identification of doubtful debts requires use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debts expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed.
Allowances for inventories
Management reviews the inventory age listing on a periodic basis. This review involves comparison of the carrying value of the aged inventory items with the respective net realizable value. The purpose is to ascertain whether an allowance is required to be made in the financial statements for any obsolete and slow-moving items. Management is satisfied that adequate allowance for obsolete and slow- moving inventories has been made in the financial statements.
Liability for sales return
In making judgment for liability for sales return, the management considered the detailed criteria for the recognition of revenue from the sale of goods set out in Ind AS 115 and in particular, whether the Company had transferred to the buyer the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods. Following the detailed quantification of the Company's liability towards sales return, the management is satisfied that significant risk and rewards have been transferred and that recognition of the revenue in the current year is appropriate, in conjunction with the recognition of an appropriate liability for sales return.
Accruals for estimated product returns, which are based on historical experience of actual sales returns and adjustment on account of current market scenario is considered by Company to be reliable estimate offuture sales returns.
24.2 Commitments
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account of property, plant and equipment is ^ 3,900 thousand as at 31 March 2025 (previous year: nil) against which advances paid aggregate ^ 1,124 thousand as at 31 March 2025 (previous year: nil).
25. Code on Social Security
The Indian Parliament had approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 ['Code'] in September 2020 relating to employee benefits i.e., benefits during employment as well as post-employment. The same had also received Presidential Assent. The Ministry of Labour and Employment had released draft rules for the Code on 13 November 2020, and had invited suggestions from stakeholders, which are under active consideration by the Ministry.
The Company will assess the impact once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.

The fund has formed a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees.
The fund is subject to risks such as asset volatality, changes in bond yields and asset liability mismatch. In managing the plan assets, the Board of Trustee reviews and manages the risks associated with the funded plan and aim to keep annual contributions relatively stable at a level such that no major plan deficits arises by following effective risk management policies.
