(v) Provisions, contingent liabilities andcontingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Companyhas a present legal or constructive obligation as aresult of past events, it is probable that an outflowof resources embodying economic benefit will berequired to settle the obligation and the amountcan be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value ofmanagement's best estimate of the expenditurerequired to settle the present obligation at the endof the reporting period. The discount rate usedto determine the present value is a pre tax ratethat reflects current market assessments of thetime value of money and the risks specific to theliability. The increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognised as finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect ofpossible obligations that arise from past eventsbut their existence will be confirmed by theoccurrence or non occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company or where any presentobligation cannot be measured in terms of futureoutflow of resources or where a reliable estimateof the obligation cannot be made.
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflowof economic benefits is probable. An entity shallnot recognize a contingent asset unless therecovery is virtually certain.
(l) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from operations is recognised to the extent that it isprobable that economic benefit will flow to the Company andthe revenue can be reliably measured regardless of when thepayment is being made as per IND AS 115.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised whenthe control/title of the goods or services are transferred tothe customer at an amount of transaction price allocated tothat performance obligation that reflects the considerationto which the Company expects to be entitled in exchangefor those goods or services excluding government dutiescollected on behalf of the Government. In determining thetransaction price of goods sold and services rendered, theCompany excludes the effect of any variable considerationon account of various discounts and schemes offered by theCompany as a part of the Contract.
I t is the Company's policy to sell its products to the endcustomers with the right of return of 7 days. Historicalexperience is used to estimate and provide for such returnsat the time of sale.
The Company has generally concluded that it is the principalin its revenue arrangements, except for the agency services
below, because it typically controls the goods or servicesbefore transferring them to the customer.
Principal versus agent consideration
The inventory of third party does not pass to the Companytill the product is sold. At the time of sale of such inventory,the sales value along with the cost of inventory is disclosedseparately as sale of goods on approval basis and cost ofgoods sold on approval basis and forms part of Revenuein the Statement of Profit and Loss. Only the net revenueearned i.e. margin is recorded as a part of revenue.
Rental income
Rental income arising from operating lease on investmentproperties is accounted for on a straight line basis overlease terms unless the receipts are structured to increasein line with expected general inflation to compensate for theexpected inflationary cost increases and is included in theStatement of profit and loss due to its operating nature.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised based on time proportion basisconsidering the amount outstanding and rate applicable(EIR). Interest income in included in the Other Income in thestatement of Profit and Loss.
(m) Retirement and other employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬monetary benefits that are expected to be settledwholly within 12 months after the end of the periodin which the employees render the related service arerecognised in respect of employees' services up to theend of the reporting period and are measured at theamounts expected to be paid when the liabilities aresettled.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund isa defined contribution plan. The Company has noobligation , other than the contribution payable to theprovident fund. The Company recognises contributionpayable to the provident fund scheme as an expense,when an employee renders the related services. If theContribution payable to the scheme for service receivedbefore the balance sheet date exceeds the contributionalready paid, the deficit payable to the scheme isrecognised as a liability after deducting the contributionalready paid. If the contribution already paid exceedsthe contribution due for services received before thebalance sheet date, then excess is recognised as anasset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to areduction in future payment or a cash refund.
ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave that arenot expected to be settled wholly within 12 monthsare measured at the present value of expected futurepayments to be made in respect of services providedby employees up to the end of the reporting periodusing the projected unit credit method. The benefits arediscounted using the Government Securities (G-Sec)at the end of the reporting period that have termsapproximating to the terms of the related obligation.Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustmentsand changes in actuarial assumptions are recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilitiesin the balance sheet if the entity does not have anunconditional right to defer settlement for at leasttwelve months after the reporting period, regardless ofwhen the actual settlement is expected to occur.
iii) Post-employment obligationsDefined benefit plansGratuity
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheetin respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation at theend of the reporting period less the fair value of planassets. The defined benefit obligation is calculatedannually by independent actuary using the projectedunit credit method. The present value of the definedbenefit obligation denominated in INR is determinedby discounting the estimated future cash outflows byreference to market yields at the end of the reportingperiod on government bonds that have termsapproximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying thediscount rate to the net balance of the defined benefitobligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost isincluded in employee benefit expense in the Statementof Profit and Loss. Remeasurement gains and lossesarising from experience adjustments and changes inactuarial assumptions are recognised in the periodin which they occur, directly in other comprehensiveincome. They are included in retained earnings in thestatement of changes in equity and in the balancesheet. Changes in the present value of the definedbenefit obligation resulting from plan amendmentsor curtailments are recognised immediately in theStatement of profit and loss as past service cost.
Share based payment
Equity settled share based payments to employeesand other providing similar services are measured atfair value of the equity instruments at grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of theequity-settled share based payment is expensed on astraight line basis over the vesting period, based onthe Company's estimate of equity instruments that willeventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity.At the end of each reporting period , the Companyrevises its estimates of the number of equity instrumentsexpected to vest. The impact of the revision of theoriginal estimates, if any is, recongised in Statementof Profit and Loss such that the cumulative expensesreflects the revised estimate, with a correspondingadjustment to the shared option outstanding account.
No expense is recognised for options that do notultimately vest because non market performance and/or service conditions have not been met.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected asadditional share dilution in the computation of dilutedearnings per share.
Expense relating to options granted to employees ofthe subsidiaries under the Company's share basedpayment plan, is recovered from the subsidiaries. Suchrecovery is reduced from employee benefit expense.
(n) Foreign currency transactions
(a) Functional and presentation currency:
Items included in the financial statements of theCompany are measured using the currency of theprimary economic environment in which the entityoperates. The standalone financial statements arepresented in INR, which is functional and presentationalcurrency.
(b) Transaction and balances:
Transaction in currencies other than entity's functionalcurrency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the ratesof exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on settlement ortranslation of monetary items are recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
Non monetary items carried at fair value that aredenominated in foreign currencies are retranslated atthe rates prevailing at the date when the fair value wasdetermined. Non-monetary items that are measured
in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency aretranslated using the exchange rate at the date of thetransaction. The gain or loss arising on translation ofnon-monetary items measured at fair value is treatedin line with the recognition of the gain or loss onthe change in fair value of the item. (i.e., translationdifferences on items whose fair value gain or loss isrecognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognisedin OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
(o) Income tax
a) Current Tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measuredat the amount expected to be recovered from or paidto the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax lawsused to compute the amount are those that enactedor substantively enacted, at the reporting date in thecountries where The Company operates and generatestaxable income.
b) Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the liabilitymethod on temporary differences arising between thetax bases of assets and liabilities and their carryingamount for financial reporting purpose at the reportingdate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determinedusing tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted orsubstantially enacted by the end of the reporting periodand are expected to apply when the asset is realised orthe liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxabletemporary differences, except:
i. When the deferred tax liability arises from theinitial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liabilityin a transaction that is not a business combinationand, at the time of the transaction, affects neitherthe accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss anddoes not give rise to equal taxable and deductibletemporary differences.
ii. In respect of taxable temporary differencesassociated with investments in subsidiaries,when the timing of the reversal of the temporarydifferences can be controlled and it is probablethat the temporary differences will not reverse inthe foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for alldeductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused taxlosses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to theextent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporarydifferences, and the carry forward of unused taxcredits and unused tax losses can be utilised,except:
i. When the deferred tax asset relating to thedeductible temporary difference arises fromthe initial recognition of an asset or liabilityin a transaction that is not a businesscombination and, at the time of thetransaction, affects neither the accountingprofit nor taxable profit or loss and does notgive rise to equal taxable and deductibletemporary differences.
ii. In respect of deductible temporarydifferences associated with investmentsin subsidiaries, deferred tax assets arerecognised only to the extent that it isprobable that the temporary differences willreverse in the foreseeable future and taxableprofit will be available against which thetemporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset whenthere is a legally enforceable right to offset currenttax assets and liabilities and when the deferredtax balances relate to the same taxation authority.Current tax assets and tax liabilities are off setwhere the Company has a legally enforceableright to offset and intends either to settle on a netbasis, or to realize the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss, except to theextent that it relates to items recognised in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity.In this case, the tax is also recognised in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity,respectively.
(p) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- the profit attributable to equity shareholder of theCompany
- by the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the financial year
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in thedetermination of basic earnings per share to take intoaccount:
- the after income tax effect of interest and otherfinancing costs associated with dilutive potential equityshares, and
- the weighted average number of additional equityshares that would have been outstanding assumingthe conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(q) Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instrument at fair value ateach Balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell assetsor paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participant at the measurement date.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities areincluded at the amount at which the instrument could beexchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used toestimate the fair values:
1. Fair value of cash and deposits, trade and otherreceivables, trade payables and other current liabilities,approximate their carrying amounts largely due to shortterm maturities of these instruments.
2. The fair values of non-current borrowings are basedon discounted cash flows using a current borrowingrate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fairvalue hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs,including own credit risk.
3. For financial assets and liabilities that are measured atfair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fairvalues.
The Company uses the following hierarchy fordetermining and disclosing the fair value of financialinstruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active marketsfor identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs whichhave a significant effect on the recorded fair value areobservable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have asignificant effect on the recorded fair value that are notbased on observable market data.
(r) Significant accounting judgement, estimates andassumption
The preparation of standalone financial statements requiresthe use of accounting estimates which by definition willseldom equal the actual results. Management also need toexercise judgement in applying the Company's accountingpolicies.
The Company initially measures the cost of equity settledtransaction with employees using Black Scholes model todetermine the fair value of the liability incurred. Estimatingfair value for share-based payment transaction requiresdetermination of the most appropriate valuation model,which is dependent on the terms and conditions of thegrant. The estimates also requires determination of the mostappropriate inputs to the valuation model including expectedlife of the share option, volatility and dividend yield andmaking assumptions about them. For equity settled sharebased payment transaction, the liability needs to be re¬measured at the end of each reporting period upto the dateof settlement, with any changes in fair value recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss. This requires a re-assessmentof the estimates used at end of each reporting period. Theassumption and models used for estimating the fair valuefor share based-payment transaction are disclosed innote no. 43.
Provision for inventory
The Company has calculated the provision for inventory basisthe percentage as per historical experience for inventorylying from the last inventory count date to the reporting date.
An inventory provision is also recognised for cases where therealisable value is estimated to be lower than the inventorycarrying value. The inventory provision is estimated takinginto account various factors, including prevailing sales pricesof inventory item, the seasonality of the item's sales profileand losses associated with obsolete / slow-moving inventoryitems.
Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post¬employment medical benefits and the present value of thegratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations.An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discount rate, futuresalary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexitiesinvolved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reportingdate.
The parameter most subject to change is the discountrate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plansoperated in India, the management considers the interestrates of government bonds in currencies consistent with thecurrencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortalitytables for the specific countries. Those mortality tablestend to change only at interval in response to demographicchanges. Future salary increases and gratuity increases arebased on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in noteno. 44.

44 POST RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN
As per Indian Accounting Standard 19 “Employee benefits”, the disclosures as defined are given below:
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company operates a gratuity plan wherein every employees entitled to the benefit equivalent to fifteen days salary last drawnfor each year of service. The same is payable on termination of service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vest after fiveyears of continuous service. The gratuity paid is governed by The Payment of Gratuity Act,1972. The Company contributes to thefund based on actuarial report details of which is available in the table of investment pattern of plan asset, based on which theCompany is not exposed to market risk. The following table summarises the component of net benefit expenses recognised in thestatement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for respective period.
There has been no change from the previous year in the method and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
These plans typically exposed the Company to actuarial risks such as Interest risk, salary risk, investment risk, asset liabilitymatching risk and mortality risk.
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and Company is exposed to the following risks:
Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G.Sec. rate will increase the present value of the liability requiringhigher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration ofasset.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. Assuch, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan's liability.
Investment risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined byreference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, itwill create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, andother debt instruments.
Asset liability matching risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of rule101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not haveany longevity risk.
Concentration risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default willwipe out all the assets . Although probability of this is very low as insurance companies have to follow stringent regulatory guidelineswhich mitigate risk.

(i) Amendments to Ind AS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2025, whichamend Ind As 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency isexchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking.

The application of the amendment has no impact on the company standalone financial statements.
(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities withCovenants
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of Ind AS 1 to specify the requirements for classifyingliabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability notimpact its classification
In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classifiedas non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelvemonths.
I f there is a breach of a material covenant of a long term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period,resulting in the liability becoming payable on demand as at the reporting date, and the lender agrees—after the reportingperiod but before the financial statements are approved for issue—not to demand repayment for at least 12 months as aconsequence of the breach, this shall be treated as an adjusting event. Accordingly, the entity is not required to classify theliability as current.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2025 retrospectively in accordancewith Ind AS 8.
The amendments have not had an impact on the classification of Company's liabilities.
(iii) Amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - Supplier Finance Arrangements
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107 Financial Instruments:Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of sucharrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements inunderstanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The amendments had no impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company as it did not have Supplier FinanceArrangements in scope of Ind AS 7 as at the reporting date.
(iv) International Tax Reform-Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to Ind AS 12
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 12 Income Taxes in response to the OECD's BEPS Pillar Two rulesand include:
• A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictionalimplementation of the Pillar Two model rules; and
• Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity'sexposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.
The mandatory temporary exception - the use of which is required to be disclosed - applies immediately. The remainingdisclosure requirements apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2025, but not for any interim periodsending on or before 31st March, 2026.
The amendments had no impact on the Company's standalone financial statements as the Company is not in scope of thePillar Two model rules.
51 STANDARDS NOTIFIED BUT NOT EFFECTIVE
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities withCovenants and Ind AS 10 Events after the Reporting Period
Ind AS 10 has been amended to remove the previous treatment under which a lender's post reporting date waiver-grantedbefore the financial statements were approved for issue-of a breach of a material covenant in a long term loan arrangementthat occurred on or before the end of the reporting period, resulting in the liability becoming payable on demand at thereporting date, was regarded as an adjusting event.
For annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2026, any breach of a covenant-whether material or immaterial —occurring on or before the reporting date will, in accordance with Ind AS 1, require the related liability to be classified ascurrent, unless the lender has granted a waiver of the breach on or before the reporting date and has agreed not to demandrepayment for at least 12 months after the reporting date as a consequence of the breach. Such a waiver shall be treated asan adjusting event.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2026 retrospectively in accordancewith Ind AS 8.
