The Company recognizes provisions when apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event exists and it is probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle such obligationand the amount of such obligation can bereliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, therisks specific to the liability. When discountingis used, the increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is madewhen there is a possible obligation or a presentobligation that may, but probably will not requirean outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits or the amount of such obligationcannot be measured reliably. When there isa possible obligation or a present obligationin respect of which likelihood of outflow ofresources embodying economic benefits isremote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly withintwelve months of rendering the service areclassified as short-term employee benefits
and they are recognized in the period in whichthe employee renders the related service.The Company recognizes the undiscountedamount of short term employee benefitsexpected to be paid in exchange for servicesrendered as a liability (accrued expense) afterdeducting any amount already paid.
I. Defined Contribution plans:
Defined contribution plans are employeeprovident fund, employee state insurancescheme and Government administeredpension fund scheme for all applicableemployees.
The Company recognizes contributionpayable to a defined contribution planas an expense in the Statement of Profitand Loss when the employees renderservices to the Company during thereporting period. If the contributionspayable for services received fromemployees before the reporting dateexceeds the contributions already paid,the deficit payable is recognized as aliability after deducting the contributionalready paid. If the contribution alreadypaid exceeds the contribution due forservices received before the reportingdate, the excess is recognized as anasset to the extent that the prepaymentwill lead to, for example, a reduction infuture payments or a cash refund.
The Company operates a defined benefitgratuity plan for employees.
The cost of providing defined benefitsis determined using the Projected UnitCredit method with actuarial valuationsbeing carried out at each reportingdate. The defined benefit obligationsrecognized in the Balance Sheet represent
the present value of the defined benefitobligations as reduced by the fair valueof plan assets, if applicable. Any definedbenefit asset (negative defined benefitobligations resulting from this calculation)is recognized representing the presentvalue of available refunds and reductionsin future contributions to the plan.
All expenses represented by currentservice cost, past service cost, if any, andnet interest on the defined benefit liability/ (asset) are recognized in the Statementof Profit and Loss. Remeasurements ofthe net defined benefit liability / (asset)comprising actuarial gains and losses andthe return on the plan assets (excludingamounts included in net interest on thenet defined benefit liability/asset), arerecognized in Other ComprehensiveIncome. Such remeasurements are notreclassified to the Statement of Profit andLoss in the subsequent periods.
The Company presents the above liability/(asset) as current and non-current in theBalance Sheet as per actuarial valuationby the independent actuary; however,the entire liability towards gratuity isconsidered as current as the Companywill contribute this amount to the gratuityfund within the next twelve months.
Entitlements to annual leave and sickleave are recognised when they accrue toemployees. Sick leave can only be availedor encashed subject to a restriction onthe maximum number of accumulationof leave. The company determines theliability for such accumulated leave usingthe projected accrued benefit methodwith actuarial valuations being carriedout at each Balance Sheet date.
The Company evaluates if an arrangement
qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements
of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requiressignificant judgment. A contract is, or contains,a lease if the contract conveys the right tocontrol the use of an identified asset for aperiod of time in exchange for consideration.The determination of whether an arrangementis (or contains) a lease is based on the substanceof the arrangement at the inception of thelease. The arrangement is, or contains, a leaseif fulfilment of the arrangement is dependenton the use of a specific asset or assets and thearrangement conveys a right to use the asset orassets, even if that right is not explicitly specifiedin an arrangement.
The Company assesses whether a contractcontains a lease, at inception of a contract. Acontract is, or contains, a lease if the contractconveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset for a period of time in exchangefor consideration. To assess whether a contractconveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identifiedasset (ii) the Company has substantially all ofthe economic benefits from use of the assetthrough the period of the lease and (iii) theCompany has the right to direct the use of theasset. The Company uses significant judgementin assessing the lease term (including anticipatedrenewals) and the applicable discount rate. Thedetermination of whether an arrangement is(or contains) a lease is based on the substanceof the arrangement at the inception of thelease. The arrangement is, or contains, a leaseif fulfilment of the arrangement is dependenton the use of a specific asset or assets and thearrangement conveys a right to use the asset orassets, even if that right is not explicitly specifiedin an arrangement.
At the date of commencement of the lease,the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability forall lease arrangements in which it is a lessee,except for leases with a term of twelve monthsor less (short-term leases) and low value leases.
For these short-term and low value leases, theCompany recognizes the lease payments asan operating expense on a straight-line basisover the term of the lease. The right-of-useassets are initially recognized at cost, whichcomprises the initial amount of the leaseliability adjusted for any lease payments madeat or prior to the commencement date of thelease plus any initial direct costs less any leaseincentives. They are subsequently measuredat cost less accumulated depreciation andimpairment losses. Right-of-use assets aredepreciated from the commencement dateon a straight-line basis over the lease termand useful life of the underlying asset. Thelease liability is initially measured at amortizedcost at the present value of the future leasepayments. The lease payments are discountedusing the interest rate implicit in the lease or, ifnot readily determinable, using the incrementalborrowing rates in the country of domicile ofthese leases. Lease liabilities are remeasuredwith a corresponding adjustment to the relatedright of use asset if the Company changesits assessment if whether it will exercise anextension or a termination option. Lease liabilityand ROU asset have been separately presentedin the Balance Sheet and lease payments havebeen classified as financing cash flows. Further,refer note no. 41, for effect of transition toInd AS 116, classification of leases and otherdisclosures relating to leases.
Leases in which the Company does nottransfer substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of an asset are classified as operatingleases. Rental income from operating lease isrecognised on a straight-line basis over the termof the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurredin negotiating and arranging an operating leaseare added to the carrying amount of the leasedasset and recognised over the lease term onthe same basis as rental income.
Operating segments are reported in a mannerconsistent with the internal reporting providedto the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM)of the Company. The CODM is responsible forallocating resources and assessing performanceof the operating segments of the Company.
Basic earnings per share is computed bydividing the net profit after tax attributable toequity shareholders by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding duringthe year. Diluted earnings per equity share iscomputed by dividing adjusted net profit aftertax by the aggregate of weighted averagenumber of equity shares and dilutive potentialequity shares during the year.
Cash Flow are reported using the indirectmethod, whereby profit for the period isadjusted for the effects of transactions of anon- cash nature, any deferrals or accrualsof past or future operating cash receipts orpayments and item of income or expensesassociated with investing or financing cashflows. The cash flows from operating,investing and financing activities of thecompany are segregated.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balancesheet comprise cash at banks and on hand,deposit accounts and term deposits accountswith original maturity of three months or lessas at balance sheet date, which are subject toan insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cashflows, cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash on hand, deposit accounts and termdeposits as defined above and investment inliquid funds for short term purpose.
Where events occurring after the BalanceSheet date provide evidence of conditionsthat existed at the end of the reporting period,the impact of such events is adjusted withinthe financial statements. Otherwise, eventsafter the Balance Sheet date of material sizeor nature are only disclosed.

>2. Corporate Social Responsibility Expenditure
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee has been formedby the Company. The funds are utilised on the activities which are specified in Schedule VII of the Companies Act,2013. The utilisation is done by way of contribution towards various activities.
The Company's financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade, other payables and financial assetscomprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, loans, trade receivablesand other receivables.
The Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk. The Board of the Company monitors therisk as per risk management policy. Further the Audit Committee has additional oversight in the area of financialrisks and controls.
The following disclosures summarize the Company's exposure to financial risks and information regarding useof derivatives employed to manage exposures to such risks. Quantitative sensitivity analysis have been providedto reflect the impact of reasonably possible changes in market rates on the financial results, cash flows andfinancial position of the Company.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market prices. Market risk for the Company comprises two types of risks: interest rate riskand currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes borrowings, investments, tradepayables, trade receivables and loans.
Within the various methodologies to analyze and manage risk, Company has implemented a system basedon "sensitivity analysis” on symmetric basis. This tool enables the risk managers to identify the risk positionof the entities. Sensitivity analysis provides an approximate quantification of the exposure in the eventthat certain specified parameters were to be met under a specific set of assumptions. The risk estimatesprovided here assume:
• a parallel shift of 100-basis points of the interest rate yield curves in major currencies.
• a simultaneous, parallel foreign exchange rates shift in which the INR appreciates / depreciates against
all currencies by 5%
The potential economic impact, due to these assumptions, is based on the occurrence of adverse / inversemarket conditions and reflects estimated changes resulting from the sensitivity analysis. Actual results that
are included in the Statement of profit and loss may differ materially from these estimates due to actualdevelopments in the giobai financial markets.
The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity, pensionand other post-retirement obligations and provisions.
The following assumption has been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respectivemarket risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 March, 2026 and 31March, 2025.
(i) Interest rate risk
I nterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument wiii fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. The Company seeks to mitigate such risk by maintaining anadequate proportion of floating and fixed interest rate borrowings. As at 31 March, 2026, approximately13.65% of the Company's borrowings and other financial liabilities are at fixed rate (31 March, 2025 : 15.60%).Summary of financial assets and financial liabilities has been provided beiow:
Interest rate sensitivity
Profit or ioss is sensitive to higher/iower interest expense from borrowings as a resuit of change in interestrates. The foiiowing tabie demonstrates the sensitivity of floating rate financiai instruments to a reasonabiypossibie change in interest rates. The risk estimates provided assume a paraiiei shift of 100 basis pointsinterest rate across aii yieid curves. This caicuiation aiso assumes that the change occurs at the baiance sheetdate and has been caicuiated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year end baiancesare not necessariiy representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate becauseof changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company transacts business in foreign currencies (primarily USD,EUR, GBP and AED). Consequently, the Company has foreign currency trade payables and receivables andis therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company manages its foreign currency risk by followingpolicies approved by the Board as per established risk management policy. The carrying amounts of theCompany's foreign currency denominated monetary items are as follows:
Foreign currency sensitivity
The following table demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, EUR, GBPand AED rates to the functional currency of respective entity, with all other variables held constant.The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. Theimpact on the Company's profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets andliabilities.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customercontract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily trade receivables andother financial assets including deposits with banks. Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed inaccordance with the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit riskmanagement.
Other financial assets
This comprises mainly of deposits with banks and other intercompany receivables. Credit risk arising fromthese financial assets is limited.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company's established policy andprocedures. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally have a credit period not exceeding 90days. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the customer basebeing large and diverse. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis.Historical experience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past default andhence the credit risk is perceived to be low.
The Company has used practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for doubtfultrade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit lossexperience and adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The expected credit loss allowance is based onthe ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates used in the provision matrix. In calculatingexpected credit loss, the Company has also considered credit information for its customers to estimate theprobability of default in future.
34.Financial Risk Management (Cont...)
Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's financedepartment in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only withapproved counterparties.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitmentsassociated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. TheCompany's objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateralrequirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash managementsystem. It maintains adequate sources of financing from both banks and financial institutions at anoptimised cost.
The table below analysis non-derivative financial liabilities of the Company into relevant maturity groupingsbased on the remaining period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amountsdisclosed under the ageing buckets are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and includes contractualinterest payments.
35. Capital management:
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes paid-up equity capital and all otherequity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company'scapital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor andmarket confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return oncapital, as well as level of dividends to equity share holders.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economicconditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, theCompany may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.The Company monitors capital using Debt-Equity ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity. The Company'spolicy is to keep the net debt to equity ratio below 2. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearingloans and borrowings, less cash and short-term deposits.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims toensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capitalstructure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately callloans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loansand borrowing in the current period.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended 31March, 2026 and 31 March, 2025.
36. Employee Benefits
a) Defined contribution plans:
The Company makes contributions towards provident fund to defined contribution retirement benefit plan forqualifying employees. The provident fund contributions are made to Government administered EmployeesProvident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Planequal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.
b) Defined benefit plan:
The Company has defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees. The employee who has completedfive years or more of service is entitled to gratuity on termination of his employment at 15 days lastdrawn salary for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded. The present value of obligationin respect of gratuity is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Project Unit Credit Methodas prescribed by Ind AS - 19. Gratuity has been recognised in the financial statement as per detailsgiven below:
Investment risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determinedby reference to market yields at the end of the reporting year on government bonds. If the return on planasset is below this rate, it will create plan deficit.
Interest risk:
A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the Government Security Rate will increase the present value ofthe liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market valueof the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Longevity risk:
Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan doesnot have any longevity risk.
Salary risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries ofmembers. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase theplan's liability.
The following table sets out the status of the gratuity plan and the amounts recognised in the Company'sfinancial statements as at 31 March, 2026 and 31 March, 2025.
The above matters are currently being considered by the tax authorities with various forums and the Companyexpects the judgement will be in its favour and has therefore, not recognised the provision in relation to theseclaims. Future cash outflow in respect of above will be determined only on receipt of judgement & decision pendingwith tax authorities with various forums. The potential undiscounted amount of total payments for taxes that theCompany may be required to make if there was an adverse decision related to these disputed demands of regulatorsas of the date reporting period ends are as stated above.

41. Leases
A. Operating lease commitments - Company as lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for Office & Other Building. The Companyrecognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at thelease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of theamount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before thecommencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate ofcosts to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlyingasset or site on which it is located.
