3.19 Significant management judgment in applying accounting policies and estimationuncertainty
When preparing the financial statements, management makes a number of judgments, estimatesand assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income andexpenses.
(A) Significant management judgment
The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies ofthe Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
• Recognition of construction contract revenues
Recognising construction contract revenue requires significant judgement indetermining actual work performed and the estimated costs to complete the work.
• Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment ofthe probability that future taxable income will be available against which the deductibletemporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilised. In addition,significant judgment is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limitsor uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.
(B) Estimation Uncertainity
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect onrecognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below.Actual results may be substantially different.
• Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each assetor cash- generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interestrate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about futureoperating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
• Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO)
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlyingassumptions such as attrition rate, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of futuresalary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBOamount and the annual defined benefit expenses (as analysed in note 21)
• Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at eachreporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in theseestimates relate to technological obsolescence that may change the utility of certainsoftware and IT equipment.
• Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer aliability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementdate. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction tosell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
i. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
ii. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the assetor liability.
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financialinstruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financialassets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with howmarket participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptionson observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that casemanagement uses the best information available.
Current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per theCompany’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to theCompanies Act, 2013.

The amendment requiresseller-lessee to determine lease payments or revised lease payments in a way that seller-lesseewould not recognize any amounts of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained bythe seller-lessee.

• Assessment at the measurement date for a specific purpose.
• If exchangeability is lacking, entities must estimate the spot exchange rate and disclose thefinancial impact.
• A Currency is deemed exchangeable if it can be obtained within a normal administrative timeframe through a market / exchange mechanism creating enforceable rights and obligations.

(a) Defined Benefit Plans
Gratuity & Leave Encashment
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees. The gratuity schemeprovides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement/death while in employmentor on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary payable for eachcompleted year of service or part thereof in excess of 6 months subject to a limit of INR 20.00lakhs (March 31, 2024: INR 20.00 lakhs & March 31, 2023:INR 20.00 lakhs
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding allother assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some ofthe assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefitobligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method i.e. projected unit creditmethod has been applied as that used for calculating the defined benefit liability recognisedin the balance sheet.
v) Risk Exposure
The defined benefit obligations have the undermentioned risk exposures :
Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based ongovernment bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the definedbenefit obligation.
Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature ofdecrements that include mortality, withdrawal , disability and retirement. The effect of thesedecrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon thecombination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria.
Investment risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated usinga discount rate determined by reference to high quality corporate bond yields; if the returnon plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
b) Based on Timing of revenue recognition
Revenues from construction contracts and operation & maintenance contracts are recognisedon ‘Over a point in time’ basis and ‘At a point in time’ basis respectively.
c) Transaction price allocated to the remaining sales contracts
Revenues expected to be recognised in the future related to performance obligations that areunsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2025 amounting to INR 171100 Lakhs.
