2.9 Provisions and expenses
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are determined at present value based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed 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.
2.10 Income taxes
Income tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax.
(a) Current Tax
Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable profit for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and applicable for the period. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet and their tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and incurred tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or initial recognition of assets and liabilities(other than in a business combination) in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The Company recognises deferred tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences except those associated with the investments in subsidiaries where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

1. Trade Receivables
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents
3. Other Bank Balances
4. Loans
5. Other Financials Assets
6. Borrowings
7. Lease Liabilities
8. Trade Payables
9. Other Financial Liabilities
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to liquidity risk, interest rate fluctuation risk, credit risk and foreign exchange fluctuation risk. A Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to itsreputation. Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses and service financial obligations.
B 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 risk comprises three types of risk: Foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The details are given below :
(i) Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from borrowings which have a floating rate of interest, which is MCLR.The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. The costs of floating rate borrowings may be affected by the fluctuations in the interest rates.
(ii) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in India. Credit risk is managed through periodic assessment of the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of trade receivables. Other financial instruments that are subject to credit risk includes cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, loans and security deposits.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables which amounted to INR 3,621.78 and INR 1,169.10 lakhs as at 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 respectively. The Company provides impairment allowance using the ECL model on trade receivables by following simplified approach. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual customer basis.
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.
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. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
The Company does a credibility check on the landlords before taking any property on lease and hasn’t had a single instance of non-refund of security deposit on vacating the leased property. The Company also in some cases ensure that the notice period rentals are adjusted against the security deposits and only differential, if any, is paid out thereby further mitigating the non-realization risk.
