2.9 Provisions and contingent liabilities
(i) A provision is recognised when:
(a) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
(c) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
(ii) 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.
(iii) A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably may not, require an outflow of resources. A contingent liability also arises in extreme cases where there is a probable liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
(iv) Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation such that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
2.10 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of their costs.

2.11 Segment reporting
Based on the “management approach” as defined in Ind AS 108 Operating Segments, the Chairman and Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company's performance based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segment. Segment revenue and expense include amounts which can be directly attributable to the segment and allocable on reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities are assets/liabilities which are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Income/expenses/ assets/liabilities relating to the enterprise as a whole and not allocable on a reasonable basis to business segments are reflected as unallocated income/ expenses/ assets/ liabilities.
2.12 Employee benefits
(i) Salaries and wages
Liabilities for wages and salaries that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of rendering
the services are recognised up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
Gratuity is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. Provision for gratuity is calculated on the basis of actuarial valuations carried out at the reporting date and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The actuarial valuation is computed using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the financial statement with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
(iii) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company contributes to a recognised provident fund for all its employees. Contributions are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits
2.13 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as recognized in the financial statement as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as the deemed cost as at the date of transition. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value as at transition date.
The Company has elected to measure intangible assets at the previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.
(ii) Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

B. Mandatory Exceptions
(i) Estimates
On assessment of the estimates made under the previous GAAP Financial Statements, the Company has concluded that there is no necessity to revise the estimates under Ind AS, as there is no objective evidence of an error in those estimates. However, estimates that were required under Ind AS but not required under previous GAAP are made by the Company for the relevant reporting dates reflecting conditions existing as at that date. Key estimates considered in preparation of financial statements that were not required under the previous GAAP are listed below:
• Determination of the discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortized cost.
• Determination of impairment allowance (ECL) on trade receivables.
(ii) Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as at the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets and liabilities accounted at amortized cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is Impracticable. Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets and liabilities based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of financial assets and liabilities accounted at amortized cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.
(iii) Impairment of Financial Assets
At the date of transition to Ind AS, determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition of a financial asset would require undue cost or effort, the Company has recognized a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date until that financial instrument is derecognized.

45 Financial risk management
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, lease liability, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include loans and advances, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.
The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
- Market risk
- Credit risk, and
- Liquidity risk.
The Company's focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to meet the Company's operational requirements. The Company monitors and manages key financial risks so as to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company has a risk management policy which covers the risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The details for managing each of these risks are summarised ahead.
45.1 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 risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivables, loans and derivative financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
a) Foreign Currency Risk
It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of the changes in foreign exchange rates. There is no foreign currency risk as there is no outstanding foreign currency exposure at the year end.
b) 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 has taken term loans from banks and financial institutions. The company does not expose to the risk of changes in market interest rates as company's long and short term debt obligations are of fixed interest rate. Therefore, there are no interest rate risks, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates.
45.2 Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risks arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, financial institutions and others, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.
The company considers factors such as track record, size of institutions, market reputation and service standards to select banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. the balances and fixed deposits are generally maintained with the banks with whom the company has regular transactions. Further, the company does not maintain significant cash in hand other than those required for its day to day operations. Considering the same, the company is not exposed to expected credit loss of cash and cash equivalent and bank balances.
Credit risks related to receivables resulting from the sale of property is managed by requiring customers to pay the dues before transfer of ownership, therefore, substantially eliminating the Company's credit risk in this respect. In respect of trade
and other receivables and other current and non current assets, there are no indicators as at the year end that defaults in payment obligation will occur.
45.3 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Company generates sufficient cash flows from current operations which together with the available cash and cash equivalents provide liquidity both in the short-term as well as in the long-term. Note (ii) below sets out details of additional undrawn facilities that the Company has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.
The financial instruments are categorised into three levels based on the inputs used to arrive at fair value measurements as described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs based on unobservable market data
46 Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital and other equity reserves attributable to the owners of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximise the shareholder value & maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, reduce debt or sell assets.
The Company maintains its capital structure and makes adjustments, if required in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the borrowings that define the capital structure requirements
(viii) Risk Analysis
Risk associated with the plan provisions are actuarial risks. These risks are: - (i) Asset Liability Matching Risk, (ii) Interest Rate (discount rate risk), (iii) Mortality Risk, (iv) Salary Risk
Asset Liability Matching Risk
The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. entity has to manage pay-out based on pay as you go basis from own funds.
Interest Risk (discount rate risk)
A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G. Sec. Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision.
Mortality Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability. Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk
Salary Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan's liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 by M/S. K. A. Pandit, Consultants & Actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
