(n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(o) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because;
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses the same as per the requirements of Ind
AS 37.
(p) 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 another entity.
Financial assets
Classification
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’).
Initial recognition and measurement
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115. Refer to the accounting policies in section (d) Revenue from contracts with customers.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:
• At amortised cost
• At fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
• At fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets classified as measured at amortised cost
A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
• 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, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance expense/ (income) in the profit and loss statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to trade receivables, security and other deposits receivable by the company.
Financial assets classified as measured at FVTOCI
There are no financial assets which are measured at FVTOCI.
Financial assets classified as measured at FVTPL
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Such instruments are measured at fair value at initial recognition as well as at each reporting date. The fair value changes are recognised in the statement of profit and loss eg mutual fund. Further, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate a financial asset as FVTPL, at initial recognition, to reduce or eliminate a measurement or recognition inconsistency.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily de-recognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when
• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass¬ through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
• Trade receivables
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss except for impairment loss / (gain) on financial assets measured at FVTOCI, which shall be recognized in the OCI.
Financial liabilities Classification
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’).
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value net off in the case of financial liabilities not classified as fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’), transaction costs that are attributable to the issue of the financial liability. Financial liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
This is the most relevant category to the Company. The Company generally classifies interest bearing borrowings as financial liabilities at amortised cost. After initial recognition, these instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if
they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated as such upon initial recognition at the initial date of recognition if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
De-recognition
A financial liability is de-recognised 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 de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(q) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand, balances with banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
(r) Provision for employment benefits Defined contribution plans
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contributions payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure in the statement of profit and loss, when an employee renders the related service.
Defined benefit plans
Post-employment benefit in the form of gratuity fund scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under the scheme is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method (‘PUCM’). The scheme is non-funded.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:
• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment and
• The date on which the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under ‘employee benefit expenses’ in the statement of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements
• Net interest expense or income
Refer Note 34 for additional disclosures relating to Company’s defined benefit plan.
Provision for compensated absences
Provision for short term compensated absences is recognised for accumulated leaves that are expected to be utilized within a period of twelve months from the balance sheet date. Long term compensated absences are provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation, using projected unit credit method, as at each reporting date. The Company recognises the entire changes in provision for compensated absences, including re-measurements in the statement of profit and loss for the year.
(s) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(t) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of a company whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resource allocation and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has identified the Board of Directors of the Company as its CODM.
(u) Other income Interest Income:
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) applicable. For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future
cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
(v) Measurement of EBITDA
The Company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of statement of profit and loss. The Company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/ (loss) from continuing operations. In its measurement, the Company does not include depreciation and amortization expense, finance costs and tax expense.
Note 3A : Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, 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 asset or liability affected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor
The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a major part of the economic life of the commercial property and the fair value of the asset, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the lease contracts as operating leases.
Estimates and assumptions
The Company based its assumptions and estimates, concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the Company’s control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities.
Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Others
Certain tenants have not paid service tax charged by the Company on lease rents during the year ended March 31,2010 and March 31,2011 and disputed levy of service tax through ‘Retailers Association’. In said case, Hon'ble Supreme Court has vide order dated October 14, 2011, directed the service receivers to deposit 50% of tax liability in three installments and granted stay on balance dues and the matter is sub judice.
Based on legal advice, the Company is no longer liable to pay service tax in present case as the service receivers were directed by Hon'ble Supreme Court to pay the service tax and matter is sub judice.
Accordingly, the Company will adjust service tax liability remaining outstanding as at March 31,2023 of Rs. 72.22 lakhs (March 31,2022 of Rs.72.22 lakhs) with corresponding trade receivables on the basis of evidence of service tax payments provided by tenants."
Note 3B: New and amended standards
Amendments to Standards effective 1 April 2023
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 dated 31 March 2023 to amend the following Ind AS which are effective from 01 April 2023 which have been considered by the Company for the reporting period commencing from April 1,2023.
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates.
Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty".
Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty.
The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in current period and are not expected to significantly affect the future periods.

Note 39
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise trade payables, borrowings and security deposits. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and to support its operations. The Company's principal financial assets includes investments, trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
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: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and investments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt and the ratio of fixed-to floating interest rates of the debt are all constant as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Price risk
There is no investment in equity shares, hence there is no equity price risk. Further, the Company does not carry any significant commodity price risk.
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 the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company has not hedged its exposure to fluctuations in the interest rates on account of the insignificant impact of any changes in the interest rate to its operations.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected the Company profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, if any, investment in mutual fund and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. For the fixed lease income, the billing is done in advance i.e. at the beginning of the month and for variable lease rent and other maintenance charges, the credit period provided is of 7 to 10 days. Thus there are no major trade receivable balances outstanding at the year and period end.
In case of hospitality business, credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to 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. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 39.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a trade receivable or a group of trade receivables is impaired. The Company recognises lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction and which are due for more than six months. The expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the trade receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company uses a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix.
Liquidity risk
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 finance department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and polices related to such risk are overseen by Senior management. Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position on a monthly and quarterly basis through its Senior management meeting and board meetings. They use rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The Senior management ensures that the future cash flow needs are met through cash flow from the operating activities and short term borrowings from banks.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:
Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors the capital using gearing ratio. The Company includes within net debt, lease liabilities, interest bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents.
