A provision is recognized when the Company hasa present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of past event, it is probable that an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. If the effect of the time value of money ismaterial, provisions are discounted using a currentpre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risksspecific to the liability. When discounting is used, theincrease in the provision due to the passage of timeis recognized as a finance cost. The expense relatingto a provision is presented in the statement of profitand loss net of any reimbursement.
When the company expects some or all of aprovision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement isrecognised as a separate asset, but only when thereimbursement is virtually certain. The expenserelating to a provision is presented in the statementof profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation thatarises from past events and whose existence willbe confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the Company or apresent obligation that is not recognized becauseit is not probable that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle the obligation. A contingentliability also arises in extremely rare cases wherethere is a liability that cannot be recognized becauseit cannot be measured reliably. The Company doesnot recognize a contingent liability but discloses itin the standalone financial statements, unless thepossibility of an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits is remote.
I f the Company has a contract that is onerous,the present obligation under the contract isrecognised and measured as a provision. However,before a separate provision for an onerouscontract is established, the Company recognisesany impairment loss that has occurred on assetsdedicated to that contract.
An onerous contract is a contract under which theunavoidable costs (i.e. the costs that the Companycannot avoid because it has the contract) ofmeeting the obligations under the contract exceedthe economic benefits expected to be receivedunder it. The unavoidable costs under a contractreflect the least net cost of exiting from the contract,which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and anycompensation or penalties arising from failureto fulfil it. These estimates are reviewed at eachreporting date and adjusted to reflect the currentbest estimates.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nordisclosed except when realisation of income isvirtually certain, related asset is disclosed.
The Company recognizes a liability to make cashdistributions to equity holders of the Company whenthe distribution is authorised and the distribution
is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Finaldividends on shares are recorded as a liability onthe date of approval by the shareholders and interimdividends are recorded as a liability on the date ofdeclaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company considers all highly liquid financialinstruments, which are readily convertible into knownamounts of cash that are subject to an insignificantrisk of change in value and having original maturitiesof three months or less from the date of purchase,to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalentsin the balance sheet comprise cash on hand andbank balances which are unrestricted for withdrawaland usage.
For the purpose of the standalone cash flowstatement, cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash and short-term deposits, as defined above,net of outstanding bank borrowings repayable ondemand as they are considered an integral part ofthe Company's cash management.
Standalone Statement of Cash Flows is preparedunder Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'. Cash Flowsare reported using the indirect method.
The Company classifies cash outflows to acquireor construct investment property as investing andrental inflows as operating cash flows.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividingthe net profit or loss for the period attributableto equity shareholders by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during theyear. Partly paid equity shares are treated as afraction of an equity share to the extent that theyare entitled to participate in dividends relativeto a fully paid equity share during the reportingperiod. The weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the period is adjustedfor events such as bonus issue that have changedthe number of equity shares outstanding, without acorresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings pershare, the net profit or loss for the period attributableto equity shareholders and the weighted averagenumber of shares outstanding during the periodare adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potentialequity shares.
The Company restates its standalone financialstatements and presents a third balance sheet asat the beginning of the preceding period if it appliesan accounting policy retrospectively, makes aretrospective restatement of items in its standalonefinancial statements or reclassifies items in itsfinancial statements that has a material effect onthe information in the balance sheet at the beginningof the preceding period.
The Company corrects material prior period errorsretrospectively in the first set of standalone financialstatements approved for issue after their discoveryby (a) restating the comparative amounts for theprior periods presented in which the error occurred;or (b) if the error occurred before the earliest priorperiod presented, restating the opening balancesof assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest priorperiod presented.
I ncremental costs directly attributable to the issueof equity shares are recognised as a deduction fromequity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of anequity transaction is accounted for in accordancewith Ind AS 12.
A financial instrument is any contract that givesrise to a financial asset of one entity and a financialliability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized whenthe Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. Financial assets andliabilities are initially measured at fair value, however,trade receivables and trade payables that do notcontain a significant financing component aremeasured at transaction value and investments insubsidiaries are measured at cost in accordancewith Ind AS 27 - Separate financial statements.Transaction costs that are directly attributableto the acquisition or issue of financial assets andfinancial liabilities (other than financial assets andfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit orloss) are added to or deducted from the fair valuemeasured on initial recognition of financial asset orfinancial liability.
Financial assets are subsequently measured atamortized cost if these financial assets are heldwithin a business whose objective is to hold these
assets in order to collect contractual cash flowsand the contractual terms of the financial asset giverise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principalamount outstanding.
Financial assets are measured at fair value throughother comprehensive income if these financialassets are held within a business whose objective isachieved by both collecting contractual cash flowsand selling financial assets and the contractual termsof the financial asset give rise on specified dates tocash flows that are solely payments of principal andinterest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are measured at fair value throughprofit or loss unless it is measured at amortizedcost or at fair value through other comprehensiveincome on initial recognition. The transaction costsdirectly attributable to the acquisition of financialassets and liabilities at fair value through profit orloss are immediately recognized in statement ofprofit and loss.
A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortizedcost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold assets for collectingcontractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise onspecified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest (SPPI) on theprincipal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets aresubsequently measured at amortized cost using theeffective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized costis calculated by taking into account any discountor premium on acquisition and fees or costs thatare an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortizationis included in finance income in the profit or loss.The losses arising from impairment are recognizedin the profit or loss. This category generally appliesto trade and other receivables.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit orloss include financial liabilities held for trading andfinancial liabilities designated upon initial recognition
as at fair value through profit or loss. Financialliabilities are classified as held for trading if they areincurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the nearterm. This category also includes derivative financialinstruments entered into by the Company that arenot designated as hedging instruments. Gains orlosses on liabilities held for trading are recognizedin the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried atamortized cost using the effective interest ('EIR')method. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings aresubsequently measured at amortized cost usingEIR method. For trade and other payables maturingwithin one year from the balance sheet date, thecarrying amounts approximate fair value due to theshort maturity of these instruments.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset whenthe contractual rights to the cash flows from thefinancial asset expire or it transfers the financialasset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognitionunder Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a partof a financial liability) is derecognized when theobligation specified in the contract is discharged orcancelled or expires.
The Company determines classification of financialassets and liabilities on initial recognition. Afterinitial recognition, no reclassification is made forfinancial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the balance sheet ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offsetthe recognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settlethe liabilities simultaneously.
In determining the fair value of its financialinstruments, the Company uses following hierarchyand assumptions that are based on marketconditions and risks existing at each reporting date.
Fair value hierarchy:
All assets and liabilities for which fair value ismeasured or disclosed in the standalone financialstatements are categorized within the fair valuehierarchy, described as follows, based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in thestandalone financial statements on a recurring basis,the Company determines whether transfers haveoccurred between levels in the hierarchy by re¬assessing categorization (based on the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurementas a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Investment in subsidiaries and joint venture iscarried at cost as per Ind AS 27 'Separate FinancialStatements'. Where the carrying amount of aninvestment is greater than its estimated recoverableamount, it is assessed for recoverability and in caseof permanent diminution, provision for impairmentis recorded in statement of Profit and Loss. Ondisposal of investment, the difference between thenet disposal proceeds and the carrying amountis charged or credited to the Statement of Profitand Loss.
The Company assesses at each date of balancesheet whether a financial asset or a group of financialassets is impaired and measures the requiredexpected credit losses through a loss allowance.The Company recognizes lifetime expected lossesfor all contract assets and / or all trade receivablesthat do not constitute a financing transaction. Forall other financial assets, expected credit lossesare measured at an amount equal to the 12-monthexpected credit losses or at an amount equal to thelife-time expected credit losses if the credit risk onthe financial asset has increased significantly sinceinitial recognition.
The Company assesses at each reporting datewhether there is an indication that an asset maybe impaired. If any indication exists, or when annualimpairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount.An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of anassets or cash-generating unit's (CGU) net sellingprice and its value in use. The recoverable amountis determined for an individual asset, unless theasset does not generate cash inflows that arelargely independent of those from other assets orgroups of assets. Where the carrying amount of anasset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, theasset is considered impaired and is written downto its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use,the estimated future cash flows are discounted totheir present value using a pre-tax discount ratethat reflects current market assessments of thetime value of money and the risks specific to theasset. In determining net selling price, recent markettransactions are taken into account, if available. If nosuch transactions can be identified, an appropriatevaluation model is used.
I impairment losses are recognized in the statementof profit and loss. After impairment, depreciationis provided on the revised carrying amount of theasset over its remaining useful life.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses,the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash¬generating unit) is increased to the revised estimateof its recoverable amount, but so that the increasedcarrying amount does not exceed the carryingamount that would have been determined had noimpairment loss been recognized for the asset (orcash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal ofan impairment loss is recognized immediately inthe statement of profit and loss, unless the relevantasset is carried at a revalued amount, in which casethe reversal of the impairment loss is treated as arevaluation increase.
(a) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company considers following factors thatsignificantly affect the determination of the amountand timing of revenue from contracts with customers:
Revenue consists of sale of undivided shareof land and constructed area to the customer,which have been identified by the Companyas a single performance obligation, as they arehighly interrelated/ interdependent. In assessingwhether performance obligations relating tosale of undivided share of land and constructed
area are highly interrelated/ interdependent,the Company considers factors such as:
• whether the customer could benefitfrom the undivided share of land or theconstructed area on its own or togetherwith other resources readily available to thecustomer; and
• whether the entity will be able to fulfil itspromise under the contract to transfer theundivided share of land without transfer ofconstructed area or transfer the constructedarea without transfer of undivided shareof land.
Revenue from sale of real estate units isrecognised when (or as) control of such unitsis transferred to the customer. The entityassesses timing of transfer of control of suchunits to the customers as transferred over timeif one of the following criteria are met:
• The customer simultaneously receivesand consumes the benefits provided bythe entity's performance as the entityperforms; or
• The entity's performance creates or enhancesan asset that the customer controls as theasset is created or enhanced; or
• The entity's performance does not createan asset with an alternative use to the entityand the entity has an enforceable right topayment for performance completed to date.
I f control is not transferred over time as above,the entity considers the same as transferred ata point in time.
For contracts where control is transferred ata point in time, the Company considers thefollowing indicators of the transfer of control ofthe asset to the customer when the:
• Entity obtains a present right to payment forthe asset;
• Entity transfers significant risks and rewardsof ownership of the asset to the customer;
• Entity transfers legal title of the asset to thecustomer; or
• Entity transfers physical possession of theasset to the customer; and
• Customer has accepted the asset.
iii) Accounting for revenue and land costfor projects executed through jointdevelopment arrangements (‘JDA’)
For projects executed through jointdevelopment arrangements, the Company hasevaluated that landowners are not engaged inthe same line of business as the Company andhence has concluded that such arrangementsare contracts with customers. The revenue fromthe development and transfer of constructedarea/revenue sharing arrangement and thecorresponding land/ development rightsreceived under JDA is measured at the fair valueof the estimated construction service renderedto the landowner and the same is accounted onlaunch of the project. The fair value is estimatedwith reference to the terms of the JDA (whetherrevenue share or area share) and the relatedcost that is allocated to discharge the obligationof the Company under the JDA. Fair value of theconstruction is the representative fair value ofthe revenue transaction and land so obtained.Such assessment is carried out at the launchof the real estate project and is not reassessedthereafter. The management is of the viewthat the fair value method and estimates arereflective of the current market condition.
For contracts involving sale of real estate unit,the Company receives the consideration inaccordance with the terms of the contract inproportion of the percentage of completionof such real estate project and representspayments made by customers to secureperformance obligation of the Company underthe contract enforceable by customers. Suchconsideration is received and utilised forspecific real estate projects in accordance withthe requirements of the Real Estate (Regulationand Development) Act, 2016. Consequently, theCompany has concluded that such contractswith customers do not involve any financingelement since the same arises for reasonsexplained above, which is other than forprovision of finance to/from the customer.
I nventory is stated at the lower of cost and netrealizable value (NRV).
NRV for completed inventory is assessed byreference to market conditions and prices existingat the reporting date and is determined by theCompany, based on comparable transactionsidentified by the Company for properties in the
same geographical market serving the same realestate segment.
NRV in respect of inventory under construction isassessed with reference to market prices at thereporting date for similar completed property,less estimated costs to complete constructionand estimate of time value of money till dateof completion.
With respect to land advances, NRV is based on thepresent value of future cash flows, which dependson the estimate of, the expected date of completionof project, the estimation of sale prices, constructioncosts and discount rate used.
The Company assesses at each date of balancesheet whether a financial asset or a group of financialassets (except financial assets valued through fairvalue through profit or loss) is impaired. Ind AS 109requires expected credit losses to be measuredthrough a loss allowance. The Company recognizeslifetime expected losses for all contract assets and/ or all trade receivables that do not constitute afinancing transaction. For all other financial assets,expected credit losses are measured at an amountequal to the 12-month expected credit losses or atan amount equal to the life time expected creditlosses if the credit risk on the financial asset hasincreased significantly since initial recognition.
I mpairment exists when the carrying value of anasset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverableamount, which is the higher of its fair value less costsof disposal and its value in use. The fair value lesscosts of disposal calculation is based on availabledata from binding sales transactions, conducted atarm's length, for similar assets or observable marketprices less incremental costs for disposing of theasset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCFmodel. The cash flows are derived from the budget forthe next five years and do not include restructuringactivities that the Company is not yet committed toor significant future investments that will enhancethe asset's performance of the CGU being tested.The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discountrate used for the DCF model as well as the expectedfuture cash-inflows and the growth rate used forextrapolation purposes. These estimates are mostrelevant to disclosure of fair value of investmentproperty recorded by the Company.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan andother post-employment medical benefits and
the present value of the gratuity obligation aredetermined using actuarial valuations. An actuarialvaluation involves making various assumptions thatmay differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discountrate, future salary increases and mortality rates.Due to the complexities involved in the valuation andits long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation ishighly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Allassumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is thediscount rate. In determining the appropriatediscount rate for plans operated in India, themanagement considers the interest rates ofgovernment bonds. The mortality rate is based onpublicly available mortality tables. Those mortalitytables tend to change only at interval in responseto demographic changes. Future salary increasesare based on expected future inflation rates andexpected salary increase thereon.
When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannotbe measured based on quoted prices in activemarkets, their fair value is measured using valuationtechniques including the DCF model. The inputs tothese models are taken from observable marketswhere possible, but where this is not feasible, adegree of judgment is required in establishing fairvalues. Judgments include considerations of inputssuch as liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk.Changes in assumptions about these factors couldaffect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Financial instruments are subsequently measuredat amortized cost using the effective interest ('EIR')method. The computation of amortized cost issensitive to the inputs to EIR including effectiverate of interest, contractual cash flows and theexpected life of the financial instrument. Changesin assumptions about these inputs could affect thereported value of financial instruments.
The useful life and residual value of property,plant and equipment and investment propertyare determined based on evaluation made by themanagement of the expected usage of the asset, thephysical wear and tear and technical or commercialobsolescence of the asset. Due to the judgments
involved in such estimates the useful life andresidual value are sensitive to the actual usage infuture period.
Investment property is stated at cost. However,as per Ind AS 40 'Investment Property' there is arequirement to disclose fair value as at the balancesheet date. The Company engaged independentvaluation specialists to determine the fair valueof its investment property as at reporting date.The determination of the fair value of investmentproperties requires the use of estimates such asfuture cash flows from the assets and discount ratesapplicable to those assets.
Provision for litigations and contingencies isdetermined based on evaluation made by themanagement of the present obligation arising frompast events the settlement of which is expected toresult in outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits, which involves judgments around ultimateoutcome and measurement of the obligation amount.Due to judgments involved in such estimation theprovision is sensitive to the actual outcome infuture periods.
The Company determines whether a property isclassified as investment property or inventoryas below.
I nvestment property comprises land and buildings(principally office and retail properties) that are notoccupied substantially for use by, or in the operationsof, the Company, nor for sale in the ordinary courseof business, but are held primarily to earn rentalincome and capital appreciation. These buildings aresubstantially rented to tenants and not intended tobe sold in the ordinary course of business.
I nventory comprises property that is held for salein the ordinary course of business. Principally,this is residential and commercial property thatthe Company develops and intends to sell beforeor during the course of construction or uponcompletion of construction.
The extent to which deferred tax assets can berecognized is based on an assessment of theprobability of the future taxable income againstwhich the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
The Company enters into leasing arrangementsfor various assets. The classification of the leasingarrangement as a finance lease or operating lease andcorresponding period used for accounting is basedon an assessment of several factors, including, butnot limited to, transfer of ownership of leased assetat end of lease term, lessee's option to purchaseand estimated certainty of exercise of such option,proportion of lease term to the asset's economiclife, proportion of present value of minimum leasepayments to fair value of leased asset and extent ofspecialized nature of the leased asset.
(a) Standards issued but not yet effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notifies newstandard or amendments to the existing standards.There is amendment to Ind AS 21 "Effects of Changesin Foreign Exchange Rates" such amendments wouldhave been applicable from 01 April 2025.
The Effects of Changes in Foreign ExchangeRates specify how an entity should assesswhether a currency is exchangeable and howit should determine a spot exchange rate whenexchangeability is lacking. The amendments alsorequire disclosure of information that enablesusers of its financial statements to understandhow the currency not being exchangeable into theother currency affects, or is expected to affect, theentity's financial performance, financial position andcash flows.
The amendments are effective for the period on orafter 01 April 2025. When applying the amendments,an entity cannot restate comparative information.
The Company has reviewed the new pronouncementand based on its evaluation has determined thatthese amendments do not have a significant impacton the Company's Standalone Financial Statements.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notificationdated 9 September 2024 and 28 September2024 notified the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024 andCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) ThirdAmendment Rules, 2024, respectively, whichamended/ notified certain accounting standards(see below), and are effective for annual reportingperiods beginning on or after 1 April 2024:
• Insurance contracts - Ind AS 117; and
• Lease Liability in Sale and Leaseback -Amendments to Ind AS 116
These amendments did not have any material impacton the amounts recognised in prior periods and arenot expected to significantly affect the current orfuture periods.
Note:
a) Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS (i.e. April 01, 2015), the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of allInvestment properties measured as per the previous GAAP as the deemed cost of Investment properties.
b) Contractual obligations
The contractual commitments pending for the acquisition of investment properties as at March 31, 2025 ist Nil (March 31, 2024: t Nil).
c) Leasing arrangements
I nvestment properties comprises a number of commercial properties (broadly categorized into two classof assets i.e., office properties and retail properties depending on the nature, characteristics and risks ofeach property) that are leased to third parties and related parties under operating leases (cancellable andnon-cancellable) with varying lease terms (upto 18 years), escalation clauses and renewal clauses. TheCompany has classified these leases as operating leases, because they do not transfer substantially all ofthe risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the assets. Certain lease arrangement also includesvariable rent determined based on percentage of sales of lessee. The Company is also required to maintainthe property over the lease term.
b) Refer note 34(a)(v) for details of contractual obligations to construct or develop investment propertyunder development.
c) Investment property under development whose completion is overdue or has exceeded its cost comparedto its original plan
There are no projects in progress under 'Investment property under development' whose completion isoverdue or has exceeded its cost compared to its original plan.
d) Fair value
As the properties are under development, the Company has determined that the fair value of the propertiesis not reliably measurable and expects that the fair value of the properties to be reliably measurable whenconstruction is complete. Hence, the carrying amount is best approximation of fair value of the properties.
f) Refer note 33 for details of Investment property under development pledged as security for borrowings.
f) Investment property under development pledged as security
Refer note 33 for details of Investment property under development pledged as security for borrowings.

a) Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilised only forlimited purposes as per provisions of Companies Act, 2013.
Share based payments is used to record the fair value of equity-settled share based payment transactionswith employees. The amounts recorded in this account are transferred to securities premium upon exerciseof stock options by employees. In case of lapse, corresponding balance is transferred to retained earnings.
The general reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings forappropriation purposes.
The cumulative gain or loss arising from the operations which is retained by the Company is recognisedand accumulated under surplus in the statement of profit and loss.
G During the current year, the Company has remeasured its deferred tax liabilities relating to temporarydifferences associated with investments in subsidiaries at the long term capital gains tax rate that areexpected to apply to the period when the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that havebeen enacted by the end of the reporting period resulting in reversal of deferred tax liabilities amountingto t 7,677 lakhs.
H The Company has not entered into any such transaction which is not recorded in the books of accountsthat has been surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in the tax assessments under the IncomeTax Act, 1961 (such as, search or survey or any other relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961)
(i) The Company has given ' 38,784 lakhs (March 31, 2024: ' 39,944 lakhs) as advances/deposits for purchase ofland/ joint development.

However, Landownerhas filed arbitration challenging the same and both parties have filed claims and counter claims. Basedon the overall assessment and legal evaluation, the underlying advances are considered as good andrecoverable by the management.
(ii) Apart from the above, the Company is also subject to certain legal proceedings and claims, which havearisen in the ordinary course of business, including certain litigation for commercial development or landparcels held for construction purposes, either through joint development arrangements or through outrightpurchases. These cases are pending with various courts and are scheduled for hearings. After consideringthe circumstances and legal evaluation thereon, the management believes that these cases will not havean adverse effect on the standalone financial statements.
Note:The Company does not expect any reimbursement in respect of the above contingent liabilities and it isnot practicable to estimate the timing of the cash outflows, if any, in respect of aforesaid matters and it is notprobable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the above obligations/claims.

The Company has gratuity as defined benefit retirement plans for its employees. The Company provides forgratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous servicefor a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity at the rate of 15 days basic salary for each year of service until theretirement age. As at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 the plan assets were invested in insurer managed funds.
It is exposed to the following types of risks:
Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the Government Security rate will increase thepresent value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the markto market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salariesof members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase theplan's liability.
Investment risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate whichis determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If thereturn on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relativelybalanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
Asset liability matching risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is investedin lines of Rule 101 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 have any longevity risk.
Concentration risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company.
The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expenses recognised in the statement of profitand loss and the funded status and amount recognised in the balance sheet.
The Company provides share-based payment schemes to its employees. The relevant details of the schemeand the grants are as below:
Employees Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOP 2017’): The Company instituted this scheme pursuant to the Board ofDirectors and Shareholders' resolution dated August 08, 2017 and September 21, 2017, respectively.

(*)Investment in equity shares and preference shares of subsidiaries and joint venture are measured as per Ind AS 27, 'separatefinancial statements' and have been excluded above.
The management assessed that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, currentinvestments, current loans, trade payables, current borrowings and other current financial assets and liabilitiesapproximate their fair values largely due to the short-term maturities.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value in the financial statement and are groupedinto three Levels of fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability of significantinputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entitycan access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset orliability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
There have been no transfers between the levels during the year
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
• Refer note 4(f) with respect to investment property
• The quoted investments (mutual funds) are valued using the quoted market prices in active markets.
• The fair values of the unquoted equity shares have been estimated using a DCF model. The valuation requiresmanagement to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, discountrate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonablyassessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments.
The Company's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, trade and otherpayables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company'sprincipal financial assets include loans, investments, trade receivables, cash and bank balances and otherreceivables that derive directly from its operations.
I nterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates.
1) Liabilities
The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interestrate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuatebecause of a change in market interest rates. The Company's variable rate borrowing is subject to interest ratefluctuations. Below is the overall exposure of the borrowing:
Credit risk is the risk that 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 from trade receivables (netof advances/ payables), refundable deposits under joint development arrangements (JDA), security deposits,cash and bank balances, loans, investment carried at amortised cost and other financial assets. The Companycontinuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information intoits credit risk controls. The carrying amounts of financial assets, unbilled revenue and contract assets representthe maximum credit exposure.
Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered whenthe counter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflectingdefaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historicaleconomic conditions.
(i) Credit risk related to cash and bank balance (including bank deposits) is managed by only accepting highlyrated banks and diversifying bank deposits and hence evaluated to be very low.
(ii) The Company's trade receivables in respect of real estate segment does not have any expected creditloss since the handover/ possession of residential/commercial units to the customers in case of real estatearrangements is not processed till the time the Company collects the entire receivables. Given the natureof leasing business operations, the Company's trade receivables has low credit risk as the Company holdssecurity deposits equivalents ranging from three to six months rentals. Further, historical trends indicateany shortfall between such deposits held by the Company and amounts due from customers have notbeen material.
(iii) The Company is subject to credit risk in relation to refundable deposits given under joint developmentarrangements. The management considers that the risk is high as it is in the possession of the land and theproperty share that is to be delivered to the land owner under the joint development arrangements.
(iv) Other financial assets includes investments in debt instruments in subsidiaries, loans to subsidiaries andjoint ventures, and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring therecoverability of such amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system are in placeensure the amounts are within defined limits.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated withits financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach tomanaging liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities whenthey are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or riskingdamage to the Company's reputation.
The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, mediumterm and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company's exposure to liquidity riskarises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages theliquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also has adequate creditfacilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitmentsin a timely and cost-effective manner.
The Company's objectives of capital management is to maximize the shareholder value. In order to maintain oradjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the return to shareholders, issue/ buyback shares or sellassets to reduce debt. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changesin economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants.
The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity plus net debtas below:
• Equity includes equity share capital and all other equity components attributable to the equity holders
• Net debt includes borrowings (non-current and current) less cash and other bank balance.
I n order to achieve the objective of maximize shareholders value, the Company's capital management, amongstother things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing borrowings thatdefine capital structure requirements. Any significant breach in meeting the financial covenants would allow thebank to call borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of borrowings.
