t. Provisions, contingent liabilities and commitment
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that and outflow of economic benefits 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 some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the 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. The Company uses significant judgements to assess contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are recognised 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 or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the standalone financial statements"

Fair value heirarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised at fair value and amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments under the accounting standard as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), and
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
The management assessed that fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) Long-term fixed-rate receivables are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables.
ii) The fair value of the unquoted mutual fund are based on market observable inputs at reporting date. The fair value of other financial liabilities is estimated by credit risk and remaining maturities.
iii) The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Derivative financials instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Capital Management

The capital structure of the company consists of only equity as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024. The company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
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 primary market risk to the company is foreign exchange risk along with credit risk and liquidity risk .
The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these forex by hedging the forex exposures through forward contracts, liquidity risk by diversifying its investments in various schemes of debt mutual funds and fixed deposits. The Company manages its credit risks by monitoring the credit rating of the customers, banks and mutual funds. Corporate Treasury Function reports quarterly to the Company's risk management committee, an independent body that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rate, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
(i) 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's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to Company's investments. The Company's investments are primarily short term, which do not expose it to significant interest rate risk.
(ii) Foreign currency exchange rate risk:
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective foreign operations. The company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk arising on the net export of services.
*Other currencies include Bangladeshi taka (BDT), Egyptian pound (EGP), Brazilian real (BRL), Canadian dollor (CAD), Mexican peso (MXN), Malaysian ringgit (MYR), Singapore dollor ( SGD), Colombian peso (COP), Peruvian sol (PEN), South African rand (ZAR) etc.
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the US dollar, EUR, against all other currencies at 31 Mar 2025 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.
In respect of the Company's forward contracts, a 1% decrease/increase in the respective exchange rates of each of the currencies underlying such contracts would have resulted in:
a) an approximately 0.12% increase and (0.12%) decrease in the Company's net profit and approximately 0.4% increase and (0.4%) decrease in equity as at March 31, 2025;
b) an approximately 0.20% increase and (0.20%) decrease in the Company's net profit and approximately 0.05% increase and (0.05%) decrease in equity as at March 31, 2024;"
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 receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial
assets. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
i) Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. The following table gives details in respect of revenues generated from top customer and customers individually accounting for more than 10% of the total revenue of the Company: two customer for the year ended March 31, 2025 (2 customers for the year ended March 31, 2024) accounted for more than 10% of the revenue. No other single customer contributed 10% or more of the Company's revenue for both 2024-25 and 2023-24.
Customer credit risk is managed as per the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment.
As per Ind AS 109, the Company uses the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. In determining the impairment allowance (Loss allowances for doubtful debts), the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience as well as the current economic conditions and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and allowance rates used in the provision matrix.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly and closely monitored basis the historical trend and the Company provides for any outstanding receivables beyond 365 days which are doubtful.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed below. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low on the basis of past default rates of its customers.
ii) Investments
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have rating of AA/AAA. The Group does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter¬ parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company's corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity management, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.
