The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 days to 90 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
For trade receivables, Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is provided as per simplified approach. The Company has applied the practical expedient as per Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments' to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Company determines the ECL on trade receivables by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience based on the past due status of the debtors, adjusted as appropriate to reflect current conditions and estimates of future economic conditions.

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's finance department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments in equity instruments and of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties who meets the minimum threshold requirements under the counterparty risk assessment process. Based on its on-going assessment of counterparty risk, the Company adjusts its exposure to various counterparties.
