Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent legal or constructive obligation as a result ofpast events, it is probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required 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 end ofthe reporting period.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made whenthere is a possible obligation arising from pastevents, the existence of which will be confirmed onlyby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company or a present obligation that arisesfrom past events where it is either not probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle or a reliable estimate of theamount cannot be made.
(i) Basic Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of theCompany
• by the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the financial year
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figuresused in the determination of basic earnings pershare to take into account:
• the weighted average number of additionalequity shares that would have beenoutstanding assuming the conversion of alldilutive potential equity shares, if any.
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financialstatements and notes have been rounded off to thenearest Lakhs (with two places of decimal) as per therequirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
p Recent accounting pronouncements- Standard issuedbut not yet effective
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies newstandards or amendments to the existing standardsunder Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rulesas issued from time to time. For the year ended March31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards oramendments to the existing standards applicable tothe Company.
The preparation of standalone financial statements inconformity with Ind AS requires management to makejudgements, estimates and assumptions, that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amountsof assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosuresof contingent assets and liabilities at the date of thesestandalone financial statements and the reported amountsof revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actualresults may differ from these estimates. Estimates andunderlying assumptions are reviewed at each Balance Sheetdate. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognisedin the period in which the estimate is revised and futureperiods affected.
This Note provides an overview of the areas that involveda higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of itemswhich are more likely to be materially adjusted due toestimates and assumptions turning out to be differentthan those originally assessed. Detailed information abouteach of these estimates and judgements is included inrelevant notes together with information about the basisof calculation for each affected line item in the standalonefinancial statements.
Impairment of trade receivables is primarily estimatedbased on prior experience with and the past due status ofreceivables, based on factors that include ability to pay andpayment history. The assumptions and estimates appliedfor determining the provision for impairment are reviewedperiodically.
Legal proceedings covering a range of matters are pendingagainst the Group. Due to the uncertainty inherent in suchmatters, it is often difficult to predict the final outcome.The cases and claims against the Group often raise factualand legal issues that are subject to uncertainties andcomplexities, including the facts and circumstances of eachparticular case/claim, the jurisdiction and the differences inapplicable law. The Group consults with legal counsel andother experts on matters related to specific litigations whereconsidered necessary. The Group accrues a liability whenit is determined that an adverse outcome is probable andthe amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In theevent an adverse outcome is possible or an estimate is notdeterminable, the matter is disclosed.
The Company leases warehouse used for business purposes. The leases typically run for a period of 3 years, with an option torenew the lease after that date. Lease payments are renegotiated every three years to reflect market rentals.
Information about leases for which the Company is a lessee is presented below
The Company does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liabilities as the current assets are sufficient tomeet the obligations related to lease liabilities as and when they fall due.
The Company has incurred expenses relating to short term leases and leases of low value assets for certain accommodation.Terms of such lease include option for renewal on mutually agreed terms. There are no restrictions imposed by leasearrangements and there are no purchase options or sub leases or contingent rents. Operating lease rentals for the yearrecognised in Statement of Profit and Loss amounts to Rs. 3.16 Lakhs (2023-24 - Rs. 3.25 Lakhs).
The total cash outflow for leases is Rs. 3.88 Lakhs (2023-24 - Rs. 3.25 Lakhs) for the year, including cash outflow for short termleases and leases of low value assets.
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs.10/- per share (previous year Rs.10/- per share).Each shareholder is eligible for one vote per share held.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holder of equity shares are eligible to receive remaining assets of the Companyin proportion to their shareholding.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are(a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in thefinancial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Companyhas classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of eachlevel follows below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted price included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. asprices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using market approach and valuationtechniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. Ifsignificant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the fair value is determined using generallyaccepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount ratethat reflects the credit risk of counterparty.
The fair value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables and other financial assetsand liabilities is considered to be equal to the carrying amounts of these items due to their short-term nature. The fair values ofunquoted equity instruments were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classifiedas level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.
There has been no change in the valuation methodology for Level 3 inputs during the year. The Company has classified certainfinancial instruments under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during theyear ended March 31,2025.
The Company has a system-based approach to risk management, anchored to policies and procedures and internal financialcontrols aimed at ensuring early identification, evaluation and management of key financial risks (such as market risk, creditrisk and liquidity risk) that may arise as a consequence of its business operations as well as its investing and financing activities.Accordingly, the Company’s risk management framework has the objective of ensuring that such risks are managed withinacceptable and approved risk parameters in a disciplined and consistent manner and in compliance with applicable regulation.It also seeks to drive accountability in this regard.
This Note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk. The Board ofDirectors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The Company isexposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily Trade Receivables) and from its investing activities (primarilyDeposits with Banks).
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Customer credit risk ismanaged subject to the Company’s policy and procedures which involve credit approvals, establishing credit limits and
continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normalcourse of business. The Company’s customer base is large and diverse limiting the risk arising out of credit concentration.Further, credit is extended in business interest in accordance with business-specific credit policies. The Company’sexposure to trade receivables on the reporting date, net of expected loss provisions, stood at Rs. 215.91 Lakhs (Rs. 328.08Lakhs as on March 31,2024)
All overdue customer balances are evaluated taking into account the age of the dues, specific credit circumstances, thetrack record of the counterparty etc. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss modelto assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowancefor trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors and theCompany’s historical experience with customers.
Credit risk from balances with banks, term deposits and investments is managed by Company’s finance department.Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties who meet the minimum threshold requirements.The Company monitors ratings, credit spreads and financial strength of its counterparties. As these counter parties areGovernment institutions, public sector undertakings with investment grade credit ratings and taking into account theexperience of the Company over time, the counter party risk attached to such assets is considered to be insignificant.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet as of March 31,2025 is thecarrying amounts as disclosed in Note 4, 6.1,6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6.
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company fails to honour its financial obligations in accordance with terms ofcontract. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and theavailability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and toclose out market positions.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (including the undrawn credit facilities extendedby banks and financial institutions) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition,the Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assetsnecessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirementsand maintaining debt financing plans.
The following table shows a maturity analysis of the anticipated cash flows including interest obligations for the Company’snon-derivative financial liabilities on an undiscounted basis (all payable within 12 months), which therefore does not differfrom their carrying value as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The Company does not have Derivative financial liabilities as at the end of above mentioned reporting periods.
(C) Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company transacts business in local currency, therefore there is no exposureto foreign currency risk.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. The Company engages in financing activities at market linked rates, any changes in theinterest rate environment may impact future rates of borrowings.
The exposure of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk is as follows:
Increase/ decrease of 50 basis points (holding all other variables constant) in interest rates at the balance sheet datewould result in increase/decrease of Rs. Nil (March 31, 2024 - Rs. Nil) in interest expense on financial liabilities withfloating interest rate and corresponding impact on profit before tax for the year ended March 31,2025.
The Company invests its surplus funds in fixed deposits and mutual funds. Fixed deposits are held with highly rated banksand have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate volatility.
(iii) Securities price risk
The Company invests in mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses. Such investments are susceptible to marketprice risk that will fluctuate due to changes in market traded prices, which may impact the return and value of suchinvestments. The value of investments in such mutual fund schemes as at March 31,2025 is Rs. 721.83 Lakhs (March31,2024 - Rs. 201.51 Lakhs). Accordingly, fair value fluctuations arising from market volatility is recognised in Statementof profit and loss.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to
• safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholdersand benefits for other stakeholders, and
• 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 or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Company does not have any debt, hence the Debt-to-Equity ratio is Nil as on March 31,2025 and as on March 31,
2024 respectively.
No changes were made to the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31,
2025 and March 31,2024.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. Inpractice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivityof the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefitobligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as whencalculating the defined benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(k) The Company expects to contribute Rs. Nil (Previous Year - Rs. Nil) to the funded gratuity plans during the next financialyear.
(l) The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation as at March 31,2025 is 2 years (March 31,2024 - NA).
(II) Post-employment Defined Contribution Plans(A) Provident Fund
Certain categories of employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan. Both theemployee and employer make monthly contributions to a government administered fund at specified percentage of the coveredemployee's qualifying salary. The Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
During the year, an amount of Rs. NIL (Previous Year- Rs. NIL) has been recognised as expenditure towards above definedcontribution plans of the Company.
(III) Leave Obligations
The Company provides for accumulation of leave by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forwarda portion of the unutilised leave balances and utilise it in future periods or receive cash (only in case of earned leave) in lieuthereof as per the Company's policy. The Company records a provision for leave obligations in the period in which the employeerenders the services that increases this entitlement.
The total closing provision towards this obligation was Rs. 3.79 Lakhs and Rs. NIL as at March 31,2025 and March 31,2024respectively. The amount of the provision is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right todefer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employeesto take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave thatis not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to some risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:Discount rate risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of fall in discount rate. A fall in discount rate will eventually increase the ultimate cost ofproviding the above benefit thereby increasing the value of the liability.
Salary growth risks
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. Anincrease in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Demographic risk
In the valuation of the liability, certain demographic (mortality and attrition rates) assumptions are made. The Company isexposed to this risk to the extent of actual experience eventually being worse compared to the assumptions thereby causingan increase in the benefit cost.
