(v) Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made at the reporting date. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material, 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.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, 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.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or
• Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed except when realisation of income is virtually certain, related asset is disclosed.
(w) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of statement of cash flow comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
(x) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
The current income-tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax is provided in full, on temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
In the situations where the company is entitled to a tax holiday under the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of temporary differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the concerned entity's gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of temporary differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the temporary differences originate. However, the Company restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the temporary differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
(y) Non-current assets held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale of the asset to be highly probable when:
i. The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset;
ii. An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated;
iii. The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value;
iv. The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification; and
v. Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the standalone balance sheet.
Assets once classified as held for sale is not depreciated or amortised.
(z) Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Company’s 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 judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Judgements
Impairment of non-financial assets
The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company estimates the recoverable amount of trade receivables and other financial assets where collection of the full amount is expected to be no longer probable. For individually significant amounts, this estimation is performed on an individual basis considering the length of time past due, financial condition of the counter- party, impending legal disputes, if any and other relevant factors.
Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the Company's future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
Provisions
At each balance sheet date basis the management judgment, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Company assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding contingent liabilities. However, the actual future outcome may be different from this judgement.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation, taxation and other claims against the Company. A tax provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation. Where it is
management's assessment that the outcome cannot be reliably quantified or is uncertain the claims are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the likelihood of an adverse outcome is remote. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. When considering the classification of a legal or tax cases as probable, possible or remote there is judgement involved. This pertains to the application of the legislation, which in certain cases is based upon management’s interpretation of country specific tax law, in particular India, and the likelihood of settlement. Management uses in-house and external legal professionals to inform their decision. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on the Company's financial position or profitability.
Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
Estimates
Revenue and inventories
The estimates around total budgeted cost i.e., outcomes of underlying construction and service contracts, which further require estimates to be made for changes in work scopes, claims (compensation, rebates, etc.), the cost of meeting other contractual obligations to the customers and other payments to the extent they are probable, and they are capable of being reliably measured. For the
purpose of making these estimates, the Company used the available contractual and historical information and also its expectations of future costs. The estimates of the saleable area are also reviewed periodically and effect of any changes in such estimates is recognised in the period such changes are determined.
Estimation of net realisable value for inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). NRV for completed inventory is assessed by reference to market conditions and prices existing at the reporting date and is determined by the Company, based on comparable transactions identified by the Company for properties in the same geographical market serving the same real estate segment. NRV in respect of inventory under construction is assessed with reference to market prices at the reporting date for similar completed property, less estimated costs to complete construction and an estimate of the time value of money to the date of completion.
Accounting for revenue and land cost for projects executed through joint development arrangements with revenue sharing arrangement
For projects executed through joint development arrangements with revenue sharing arrangements, the Company has evaluated that land owners are engaged in the same line of business as the Company and such contracts are not contracts with customers, but a transaction for purchase of land/development rights.
The corresponding land/ development rights received under joint development arrangement is measured at the fair value of the estimated consideration payable to the land owner and the same is accounted on launch of the project. The fair value is estimated with reference to the terms of the joint development arrangement. Such assessment is carried out at the launch of the real estate project and is reassessed at each reporting period. The management is of the view that the fair value method and estimates are reflective of the current market condition.
Accounting for revenue and land cost for projects executed through joint development arrangements with area share arrangement
For projects executed through joint development with area share arrangement, the Company has evaluated that land owners are not engaged in the same line of business as the Company and hence, has concluded that such
arrangements are contracts with customers. The revenue from the development and transfer of constructed area and the corresponding land/ development rights received under joint development arrangements is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service to be rendered to the land-owners plus an appropriate margin and the same is accounted from launch of the project. The fair value is estimated with reference to the terms of the joint development arrangements and the related cost that is allocable to discharge the obligation of the Company under the joint development arrangements. The management is of the view that the fair value method and estimates are reflective of the prevailing market condition at the relevant time.
Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utilisation of assets.
Fair value measurement
Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves
developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.
Fair valuation of investment property
Investment property is stated at cost. However, as per Ind AS 40, there is a requirement to disclose fair value as at the balance sheet date. The Company engaged independent valuation specialists to determine the fair value of its investment property as at reporting date. Sales comparison method/ market survey method under market approach is used to estimate the market value of the land. Cost of construction method under cost approach is adopted for building valuation. The determination of the fair value of investment properties requires the prevailing market rates for similar size plots in the same locality which is to be considered after enquiries being done from local property dealers and real estate agents.
Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Notes:
(i) Book value is considered as the best estimate of fair value.
(ii) These investments are not held for trading. Accordingly, the Company has elected to present changes in the fair value of these investments in other comprehensive income.
(iii) The Company's investment in Maa-Vaishno Net-Tech Limited was for funding the development of real estate project in the subsidiary company. In the absence of visibility of future business activities for project development in near future in the said subsidiary, the value of investment and other recoverable balances have been impaired.
(iv) The Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 15 May 2025 decided to acquire the balance equity shares of Indeed Fincap Private Limited (Indeed), a subsidiary company i.e. 415,600 equity shares of ' 10 each, at a consideration of ' 28.23 million. Pursuant to the said acquisition of equity shares, Indeed has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with effect from 20 June 2025.
(v) These investments are on account of stock options issued to employees of subsidiaries and joint venture (refer note 42).
b. Terms/ rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having par value of ' 1 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors, if any, is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In the event of liquidation of the Company, all preferential amounts, if any, shall be discharged by the Company. The remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the holders of equity shares in proportion to the number of shares held to the total equity shares outstanding as on that date. All shares rank equally with regard to the Company's residual assets.
d. Aggregate number of shares issued, for consideration other than cash
(i) During the year ended 31 March 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company had approved share split of equity shares from ' 10 per share to ' 1 per share and the same was duly approved by the shareholders ofthe Company. Accordingly, the number of issued, subscribed and fully paid up shares had increased from 5,687,940 shares to 56,879,400 shares. Further, during the year ended 31 March 2022, the Company had also issued 56,879,400 bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1 to the existing shareholders as on 23 March 2022 by utilising the securities premium account.
(ii) During the year ended 31 March 2023, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of the Company had passed a resolution to convert all CCDs of the Company into equity shares in connection with the Initial Public Offer by the Company. Accordingly, such CCDs were converted into 11,089,554 equity shares at ' 417 per equity share (including '416 per share as securities premium) in accordance with the terms of the agreements with the CCD holders.
Notes:
Nature and purpose of other reserves
Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. This balance can be utilised in accordance with provisions of the Act.
Capital reserve
Capital reserve represents balance recognized at the time of acquisitions as per the Scheme of Amalgamation.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings is used to record balance of statement of profit and loss and other equity adjustments.
Employee stock compensation plan reserve
The Company has established an Employee Stock Options Plan (ESOP) to grant options to eligible employees, which entitle them to purchase equity shares of the Company at a predetermined exercise price. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the cost of options granted under the ESOP is measured at fair value on the grant date and is recognized as an employee compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to the ESOP reserve under 'other equity'.
Debenture redemption reserve
Debenture Redemption Reserve ('DRR') in respect of Non- convertible debentures issued by the Company, is not required to be maintained as per Rule 18(7)(b)(iii) of Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014.
33 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ('EPS') is determined based on the net profit attributable to the shareholders. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.
ii) Fair value hierarchy
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value in the financial statements and are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for financial instruments.
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).The input factors considered are Estimated cash flows and other assumptions.
35 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the related impact in the standalone financial statements.
A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial asset fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each financial asset. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis.
a) Credit risk management
i) Credit risk rating
The Company assesses and manages credit risk of financial assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets. The Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
A: Low credit risk B: Moderate credit risk C: High credit risk
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or a litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognized in statement of profit and loss.
Trade receivables
The Company closely monitors the credit-worthiness of customers, thereby, limiting the credit risk. The Company uses a simplified approach (lifetime expected credit loss model) for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables. Trade receivables also include receivables from group companies where the credit risk is assessed as low.
Cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks. Credit risk is considered low because the Company deals with reputed banks.
Loans and other financial assets
Loans and other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes security deposits and other receivables. Credit risk related to these financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously. With respect to other financial assets, credit risk is considered low because the Company is in possession of the underlying asset. Further, the Company creates provision by assessing individual financial asset for expectation of any credit loss basis expected credit loss model.
ii) Concentration of financial assets
The Company carries on the business as a real estate developer including provision of construction services. Loans and other financial assets majorly represents loans to related parties and deposits given for business purposes.
b) Credit risk exposure
i) Provision for expected credit losses
The Company provides for 12 month expected credit losses for following financial assets:
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Loan is given to subsidiaries. Accordingly, credit risk for loan is considered negligible. Other financial assets includes fixed deposits, unbilled revenue, land advances, security deposits receivable for which credit risk is considered negligible considering the Company is already in possession of the property against which the deposit/advance is given and significant part of unbilled revenue is due from subsidiary companies.
Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
As at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025, the Company considered the individual probabilities of default of its financial assets (other than trade receivables) and determined that in respect of counterparties with low credit risk, no default events other than mentioned above are considered to be possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. In respect of trade receivables, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses using a simplified approach.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on the actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on historical data, loss of collection on receivables is not material. Hence, no additional provision is required.
C) Market risk
Interest rate risk i) Liabilities
The Company’s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on financing. At 31 March 2026, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates as the Company has borrowings from banks and financial institutions.
ii) Assets
The Company’s fixed deposits are carried at amortised cost and are fixed rate deposits. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
iii) Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of any of the Company. Considering the low volume of foreign currency transactions, the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk is limited.
There are no unhedged foreign currency exposures as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025.
iv) Price risk
The Company’s exposure price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage the price risk arising from investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio of assets.
Customer related and other matters
(a) During the year ended 31 March 2026, the Company received orders from the Haryana RERA authority, awarding delay compensation in favour of certain customers with respect to 1 of its real estate project. The Company has filed an appeal before the Hon'ble Haryana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal ('HREAT') and deposited ' 12.33 millions (31 March 2025: 6.59 millions) under protest. The Company is under litigation to defend its cause of delay due to Force Majeure events beyond the Company’s control, specifically due to COVID-19 and National Green Tribunal (NGT) bans, non-availability of raw material due to various orders of Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court and NGT thereby regulating the mining activities, brick kilns, regulation of the construction and development activities by the judicial authorities in NCR, on account of the environmental conditions, restrictions on usage of water, etc.
The Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court has remanded the matters back to HREAT for a fresh decision and the appeal is currently pending for hearing.
The management has assessed the matter in consultation with its legal experts and is of the view that no material liability shall devolve on the Company, in respect of the above matter. However, on a prudent basis, the management has recorded a provision of ' 20.00 million and believes that no further adjustment is required in these standalone financial statements.
(b) Litigation with contractor-Refer Note F
(c) The Company has certain other litigations involving customers, vendors, contractors labourers and land-owners in the normal course of business. The management has assessed the above matters in consultation with its legal experts and is of the view that no material liability shall devolve on the Company, requiring any adjustment in these standalone financial statements.

E For financial year 2018-19, an order had been passed by the Sales Tax offiicer (SGST Delhi) on 16 April 2024 raising a demand against the company of ' 1.96 million. On this, the Company had filed an appeal on 13 July 2024. Subsequently, the Company had withdrawn the appeal and filed the waiver application for Amnesty Scheme u/s 128A on 6 March 2025 and further, had deposited the entire demand of tax (excluding interest and penalty of ' 0.99 million as the same is eligible for waiver). The said application has been approved in favor of the Company as per order dated 28 July 2025 by the goods and services tax authorities.
The Company has assessed that it has strong likelihood of succeeding in the above matters and therefore, no adjustments are required in the standalone financial statements.The future cash outflows in respect of the above litigations/demands are determinable only on receipt of judgement/ decision pending with various forums/ authorities.
F The Company had executed Agreement/ Work Orders/LOI with a contractor and its group companies during the previous periods, for executing civil work at project sites and had given advances aggregating to ' 286.93 millions (gross).
The progress of work by the contractor was slow due to inadequate deployment of requisite technical manpower, labour equipment and plant and machinery at site, that resulted in overall slow progress at the project sites. Consequently, the Company's management served notice informing termination of the contracts and recovery of the advances given. The management of the Company has also filed complaint u/s 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act against the contractor and its group companies. The management of the Company believes that this matter has no impact on the ongoing projects as new contractors have already been appointed.
During the current year, the contractor has filed eleven petitions under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act before the Delhi High Court. After extensive hearings, the Delhi High Court disposed off six petitions on the ground of lack of territorial jurisdiction. The remaining petitions were withdrawn by the contractor, owing to lack of jurisdiction. Thereafter, the contractor has filed four fresh petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which are presently pending adjudication.
The management of the Company has obtained a legal assessment from their legal counsel on the said matter. On the basis of such legal opinion, and assessment of the financial strength of the contractor and its group companies, the work already completed alongwith the construction assets and equipments of the contractor in Company's possession, the management of the Company is confident of recovering the due amount. However, considering the passage of time, the Company, as at 31 March 2026, on conservative and prudent basis, is carrying the provision towards the unsecured exposure amounting to ' 96.65 millions (31 March 2025: ' 83.70 millions) in these standalone financial statements.
*Other related parties includes Key Management Personnel and entities in which Key Management Personnel or close members are interested and entities exercising significant influence over the Company.
"Directors Ravi Aggarwal, Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal, Devender Aggarwal and Lalit Kumar Aggarwal and their relatives have also given personal guarantees against long term and short term borrowing facilities availed by the Company. (refer note 19D)
***Certain subsidiary companies have also given corporate guarantee and created charge against their assets for borrowings obtained by the Company (refer note 19D).
d) Others - The Company has provided its inventories as security against the borrowing facilities taken by subsidiaries companies namely Sternal Buildcon Limited, Signatureglobal Homes Limited, Signatureglobal Developers Limited and Sarvpriya Securities Private Limited (entity in which Key Management Personnel and Relatives of Key Management Personnel are interested).
e) During the year ended 31 March 2026, pursuant to the ESOP scheme, the Company granted Stock Options to certain eligible employees, including KMPs, under its Employees Stock Option plan [within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2021]. Since such stock options are not tradeable, no perquisite or benefits is immediately conferred upon the employee by grant of such Stock Options, accordingly, the said grants have not been considered as 'remuneration'. However, in accordance with Ind AS 102, the Company has recorded employee benefit expenses by way of share-based payments to employees aggregating to ' 243.11 million for the year ended 31 March 2026, of which ' 107.44 million is attributable to KMPs.
f) Terms and conditions:-
All transactions with related parties are made on the terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions and within the ordinary course of business. Outstanding balances at respective year ends are unsecured and settlement is generally done in cash.
38 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Net debts comprise of non-current and current debts (including trade payables and other financial liabilities) as reduced by cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments. Equity comprises all components of equity including other comprehensive income.
The objective of Company's capital management structure is to ensure that there remains sufficient liquidity within the Company to carry out committed work requirements. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes to economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital, issue new shares for cash, repay debt, put in place new debt facilities or undertake other such restructuring activities as appropriate.
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption of discount rate from 6.65% for the year ended 31 March 2025 to 7.00% for the year ended 31 March 2026, while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied which was applied while calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet. Further, there is no change in the method of valuation.
Compensated absences (unfunded)
Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due or expected to be availed within one year from the balance sheet date is recognised on the basis of undiscounted value of estimated amount required to be paid or estimated value of benefit expected to be availed by the employees. Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due or expected to be availed more than one year after the balance sheet date is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited or charged to the statement of profit and loss in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.
Based on the independent actuarial valuation, only a certain amount of provision has been presented as current while the remaining amount has been presented as non-current. The same is in line with the Company's leave policy as employees do not have unconditional right to avail leaves at any time within next one year. During the current year, an amount of ' 28.17 million (31 March 2025: ' 54.00 million) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
40 LEASES
a) Company as a lessee
The Company has leases for office space and buildings.
