NOTE - 39: Impairment of Assets
In accordance with Ind AS-36 on “Impairment of Assets” the Company has assessed as on the balance sheet date, whether there are any indications with regard to the impairment of any of the assets. Based on such assessment it has been ascertained that no potential loss is present and therefore, formal estimate of recoverable amount has not been made. Accordingly, no impairment loss has been provided in the books of account.
Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity:
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. This defined benefit plan of gratuity is administered by a separate trust that is a legally separate entity. The Company makes annual contributions to the trust and trust is responsible for investments with regard to the assets of the trust. The contributions are generally invested by the trust in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India or other insurer as permitted by Law. The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as investment risk,salary risk, interest rate risk and longevity risk.
(i) Investment risk
If the actual return on plan assets is below the expected return, it will create plan deficit
(ii) Salary risk
The present value of defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase of participants in future. Deviation in rate of increase in salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
(iii) Interest risk
The plan exposes the company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in value of the liability.
(iv) Longevity risk
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plans liability.
The Following table set out the funded status of the gratuity plan and amounts recognised in the balance sheet and other disclosures as required under Ind AS 19 'Employee benefits':
The estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in employment market.
(h) Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for valuation of defined benefit obligation by 1.00% keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant.

The quantitative sensitivity analysis on net liability recognized on account of change in significant actuarial assumptions is as hereunder:

NOTE-50: Financial Risk Management
The principal financial assets of the Company include trade and other receivables, loans and advances and cash and bank balances that derive directly from its operations. The principal financial liabilities of the company include loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and the main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the day to day operations of the company.
The Company is exposed to market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. There are appropriate policies and procedures in place through which such financial risks are identified, measured and managed by the Company. The Audit Committee and the Board are regularly apprised of these risks and measures used to mitigation these risks.
I. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and investment risk.
a) Foreign Currency Risk
The company operates internationally and business is transacted in several currencies. The export sales of company comprise around 46% of the total sales of the company, Further the company also imports certain assets and raw material/ stores etc. from outside India. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the company is exposed to foreign currency risk and the results of the company may be affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against foreign currencies. Foreign exchange risk arises from the future probable transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than company's functional currency.
The company measures the risk through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows and manages its foreign currency risk by appropriately hedging the transactions. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
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.
As the Company has no significant interest -bearing assets, the income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates.
II. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Company"s inability to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The financial liabilities of the company, other than derivatives,include loans and borrowings,trade and other payables.
The company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations.
The Company's finance department is responsible for liquidity and funding arrangements. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company"s net liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows in near future.
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss.The exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables which are typically unsecured. Credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as the company generally invests in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies.The Company's credit risk in case of all other financial instruments is negligible.
The company assesses the credit risk based on external credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies.The company also assesses the creditworthiness of the customers internally to whom goods are sold on credit terms in the normal course of business.The credit limit of each customer is defined in accordance with this assessment.Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and shipments to overseas customers are generally covered by letter's of credit of foreign bank.
The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31st March, 2024 and 31st March, 2023 is the carrying value of the financial assets.
