3.9 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and ContingentAssets
(i) Provisions
The Company recognizes a provision when ithas a present legal or constructive obligationas a result of past events, it is likely that anoutflow of resources will be required to settlethe obligation; and the amount has been
reasonably estimated. Unwinding of thediscount is recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss as a finance cost.
(ii) Contingent Liabilities
Contingent liability is a possible obligationarising from past events and whose existencewill be confirmed only by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control ofthe company or a present obligation that arisesfrom past events but is not recognized becauseit is not probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be requiredto settle the obligation or the amount of theobligation cannot be measured with sufficientreliability.
(iii) Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is not recognised unlessit becomes virtually certain that an inflowof economic benefit will arise. When aninflow of economic benefits is probable,contingent assets are disclosed in the financialstatements. Provisions, contingent liabilitiesand contingent assets are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date.
(iv) Onerous Contracts:
A provision for onerous contracts is measuredat the present value of the lower expectedcosts of terminating the contract and theexpected cost of continuing with the contract.Before a provision is established, the Companyrecognizes impairment on the assets with thecontract.
3.10 Taxes:
The tax expenses comprise of current tax anddeferred income tax charge or credit. Tax isrecognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, exceptto the extent that it relates to items recognisedin the Other Comprehensive Income or in Equity.In which case, the tax is also recognised in OtherComprehensive Income or Equity.
(i) Current Tax:
Tax on income for the current period isdetermined on the basis of estimated
taxable income and tax credits computed inaccordance with the provisions of the relevanttax laws and based on the expected outcomeof assessments/ appeals. The current incometax charge is calculated on the basis of the taxlaws enacted or substantively enacted at theend of the reporting period.
Management periodically evaluates positionstaken in the tax returns with respect tosituations in which applicable tax regulationsare subject to interpretation and establishesprovisions, where appropriate.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities areoffset when there is a legally enforceable rightto set-off the recognised amounts and there isan intention to settle the asset and the liabilityon a net basis.
(ii) Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is recognised on temporarydifferences between the carrying amounts ofassets and liabilities in the company's financialstatements and the corresponding tax basesused in computation of taxable profit andquantified using the tax rates and laws enactedor substantively enacted as on the BalanceSheet date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for alltaxable temporary differences at the reportingdate between the tax base of assets andliabilities and their carrying amounts forfinancial reporting purposes. Deferred taxassets are recognised for all taxable temporarydifferences to the extent that is probable thattaxable profits will be available against whichthose deductible temporary differences can beutilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets isreviewed at the end of each reporting periodand reduced to the extent that it is no longerprobable that sufficient taxable profits will beavailable to allow all or part of the asset to berecovered.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets arereassessed at each reporting and are
recognized to the extent that it has becomeprobable that future taxable profits will beavailable against which the deferred tax assetsto be recovered.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilitiesand assets reflects the tax consequencesthat would follow from the manner in whichthe company expects, at the end of reportingperiod, to recover or settle the carrying amountof its assets and liabilities.
Transaction or event which is recognisedoutside profit or loss, either in othercomprehensive income or in equity, is recordedin other comprehensive income or in equityalong with the tax as applicable.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilitiesare offset when there is a legally enforceableright to set-off the recognised amounts andthere is an intention to settle the asset and theliability on a net basis.
3.11 Revenue Recognition:
(i) Revenue from Operations:
Ind AS 115 applies, with limited exceptions,to all revenue arising from contracts withits customers. Ind AS 115 establishes afivestep model to account for revenue arisingfrom contracts with customers and requiresthat revenue be recognized at an amountthat reflects the consideration to which anentity expects to be entitled in exchange fortransferring goods or services to a customer.
Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercisejudgment, taking into consideration all ofthe relevant facts and circumstances whenapplying each step of the model to contractswith their customers. It also specifies theaccounting for the incremental costs ofobtaining a contract and the costs directlyrelated to fulfilling a contract.
(ii) Sale of Goods:
The Company recognises revenue from saleof goods measured upon satisfaction ofperformance obligation which is at a point intime when control of the goods is transferredto the customer, generally on delivery of the
goods. Depending on the terms of the contract,which differs from contract to contract, thegoods are sold on a reasonable credit term.Revenue is measured based on the transactionprice, which is the consideration, adjusted forvolume discounts, rebates, scheme allowances,price concessions, incentives, and returns,if any, as specified in the contracts with thecustomers. Revenue excludes taxes collectedfrom customers on behalf of the government.
(iii) Sale of Services:
Revenue from services is recognised when theperformance obligation is met and the right toreceive income is established.
(iv) Interest Income:
For all debt instruments measured either atamortised cost or at fair value through othercomprehensive income, interest income isrecorded using the effective interest rate(EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts theestimated future cash payments or receiptsover the expected life of the financial instrumentor a shorter period, where appropriate, to thegross carrying amount of the financial assetor to the amortised cost of a financial liability.When calculating the effective interest rate, theCompany estimates the expected cash flowsby considering all the contractual terms of thefinancial instrument (for example prepayment,extension and similar options) but does notconsider the expected credit losses. Interestincome is included in other income in thestatement of profit and loss.
(v) Dividend Income:
Dividend income is recognized when theCompany's right to receive the paymentis established, which is generally whenshareholders approve the dividend.
(vi) Export Incentives:
Eligible export incentives are recognised in theyear in which the conditions precedent are metand there is no significant uncertainty aboutthe collectability.
(vii) Other Income:
Revenue with respect to Other OperatingIncome and Other Income including insurance
and other claims are recognised when areasonable certainty as to its realisation exists.
3.12 Leases:
The Company evaluates each contract orarrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as definedunder Ind AS 116.
(i) As a Lessee:
The Company assesses, whether the contractis, or contains, a lease, at its inception. Acontract is, or contains, a lease if the contractconveys the right to -
(a) control the use of an identified asset,
(b) obtain substantially all the economicbenefits from use of the identified asset,and
(c) direct the use of the identified asset
The Company determines the lease term asthe non-cancellable period of a lease, togetherwith periods covered by an option to extendthe lease, where the Company is reasonablycertain to exercise that option.
The Company at the commencement of thelease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use(RoU) asset at cost and corresponding leaseliability, except for leases with term of lessthan twelve months (short term leases) andlow-value assets. For these short term andlow value leases, the Company recognizes thelease payments as an operating expense on astraight-line basis over the lease term.
The cost of the right-of-use asset comprisesthe amount of the initial measurement of thelease liability, any lease payments made at orbefore the inception date of the lease, plus anyinitial direct costs incurred and an estimate ofcosts to dismantle and remove the underlyingasset or to restore the underlying asset orthe site on which it is located, less any leaseincentives received.
The Right-of-Use asset is subsequentlydepreciated using the straight-line methodfrom the commencement date to the earlierof the end of the useful life of the Right-of-Use asset or the end of the lease term. The
estimated useful lives of Right-of-Use assetsare determined on the same basis as thoseof property, plant and equipment. In addition,the Right-of-Use asset is periodically reducedby impairment losses, if any, and adjusted forcertain remeasurements of the lease liability.
For lease liabilities at the commencement ofthe lease, the Company measures the leaseliability at the present value of the leasepayments that are not paid at that date. Thelease payments are discounted using theinterest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate canbe readily determined, if that rate is not readilydetermined, the lease payments are discountedusing the incremental borrowing rate that theCompany would have to pay to borrow funds,including the consideration of factors such asthe nature of the asset and location, collateral,market terms and conditions, as applicablein a similar economic environment. After thecommencement date, the amount of leaseliabilities is increased to reflect the accretionof interest and reduced for the lease paymentsmade.
Lease payments included in the measurementof the lease liability comprises fixed payments,including amounts expected to be payableunder a residual value guarantee and theexercise price under a purchase option thatthe Company is reasonably certain to exercise,lease payments in an optional renewal period ifthe Company is reasonably certain to exercisean extension option. The lease liability issubsequently measured at amortised costusing the effective interest method.
Each lease rental paid is allocated between theliability and the interest cost, so as to obtaina constant periodic rate of interest on theoutstanding liability for each period. Financecharges are recognised as finance costs in thestatement of profit and loss.
(ii) Short-term leases and leases of low-valueassets
The Company applies the short-term leaserecognition exemption to its short-term leases(i.e., those leases that have a lease term of12 months or less from the commencementdate). It also applies the lease of low-valueassets recognition exemption to leases thatare considered of low value (range differentfor different class of assets). Lease paymentson short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on astraightline basis over the lease term.
3.13 Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs that are directly attributableto the acquisition or construction of qualifyingassets are capitalised as part of the cost of suchassets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarilytakes substantial period of time to get ready for itsintended use. All other borrowing costs are chargedto the Statement of Profit and Loss for the periodfor which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consistof interest and other costs that an entity incurs inconnection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowingcost also includes exchange differences to theextent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowingcosts.
I n determining the amount of borrowing costseligible for capitalization, any income earned onthe temporary investment of specific borrowingspending their expenditure on qualifying assetsis deducted from the borrowing costs eligible forcapitalisation.
3.14 Foreign Currency T ransactions:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initialrecognition in the functional currency, using theexchange rate at the date of the transaction. At eachBalance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary itemsare reported using the closing rate. Non-monetaryitems that are measured in terms of historical cost ina foreign currency are translated using the exchangerate as at the date of initial transactions. Exchangedifferences that arise on settlement of monetaryitems or on reporting of monetary items at eachBalance Sheet date are recognised in profit or lossin the period in which they arise except for exchangedifferences on foreign currency borrowings relatingto assets under construction for future productiveuse, which are included in the cost of those assetswhen they are regarded as an adjustment to interestcosts on those foreign currency borrowings.
3.15 Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividingthe net profit or loss for the year attributable to
equity shareholders by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during theyear. The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period and for all periodspresented is adjusted for events such as bonusissue; bonus element in a rights issue to existingshareholders; share split; and reverse share split(consolidation of shares) that have changed thenumber 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 period areadjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equityshares.
3.16 Exceptional items:
When items of income or expense within thestatement of profit & loss from ordinary activitiesare of such size, nature or incidence that theirdisclosure is relevant to explain the performance ofthe Company for the period, the nature and amountof such material items are disclosed separately asexceptional items.
3.17 Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that givesrise to a financial asset of one entity and a financialliability or equity to another entity. The Companydetermines the classification of its financial assetsand liabilities at initial recognition.
(a) Initial Recognition:
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities arerecognised when the Company becomes partyto a contract embodying the related financialinstruments. All financial assets, financialliabilities and financial guarantee contractsare initially measured at transaction valuesand where such values are different from thetransaction values, at fair values. Transactioncosts that are attributable to the acquisition orissue of financial assets and financial liabilitiesthat are not at fair value through profit or lossare added to or deducted from as the case maybe, from the fair value of on initial recognition.
(b) Classification and Subsequent Measurementof Financial Assets:
The Company classifies financial assets,subsequently at amortised cost, Fair Valuethrough Other Comprehensive Income("FVTOCI") or Fair Value through Profit or Loss("FVTPL") on the basis of following:
• The entity's business model for managingthe financial assets and
• The contractual cash flow characteristicsof the financial asset.
(i) Financial Assets measured at AmortisedCost:
A Financial Asset is measured atamortised Cost if it is held within abusiness model whose objective is to holdthe asset in order to collect contractualcash flows and the contractual terms ofthe Financial Asset give rise on specifieddates to cash flows that represent solelypayments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial Assets measured at Fair ValueThrough Other Comprehensive Income(FVTOCI):
A Financial Asset is measured at FVTOCIif it is held within a business model whoseobjective is achieved by both collectingcontractual cash flows and sellingFinancial Assets and the contractualterms of the Financial Asset give riseon specified dates to cash flows thatrepresents solely payments of principaland interest on the principal amountoutstanding.
(iii) Financial Assets measured at Fair ValueThrough Profit or Loss (FVTPL):
FVTPL is a residual category for financialassets. Any financial asset, which doesnot meet the criteria for categorisationas at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, isclassified as at FVTPL.
(c) Classification and Subsequent Measurementof Financial Liabilities:
(i) Financial liabilities measured at Fair ValueThrough Profit or Loss (FVTPL):
Financial liabilities are classified asFVTPL when the financial liability is heldfor trading or is a derivative (except foreffective hedge) or are designated uponinitial recognition as FVTPL. Gains orLosses, including any interest expense onliabilities held for trading are recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Other Financial liabilities:
Other financial liabilities (including loansand borrowings, bank overdraft and tradeand other payables) are subsequentlymeasured at amortised cost using theeffective interest method.
The effective interest rate is the rate thatexactly discounts estimated future cashpayments (including all fees and amountspaid or received that form an integral partof the effective interest rate, transactioncosts and other premiums or discounts)through the expected life of the financialliability, or (where appropriate) a shorterperiod, to the amortised cost on initialrecognition.
Interest expense (based on the effectiveinterest method), foreign exchangegains and losses, and any gain or losson derecognition is recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
For trade and other payables maturingwithin one year from the Balance Sheetdate, the carrying amounts approximatefair value due to the short maturity ofthese instruments.
(d) Debt and Equity Instruments:
Debt and equity instruments issued by theCompany are classified as either financialliabilities or as equity in accordance with thesubstance of the contractual arrangementsand the definitions of a financial liability andan equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract thatevidences a residual interest in the assets ofan entity after deducting all of its liabilities.Equity instruments issued by a Company are
recognised at the proceeds received, net ofdirect issue costs.
(e) Equity Investments
All equity investments in the scope of IndAS 109 are measured at fair value. Equityinstruments which are held for trading areclassified as at FVTPL. For all other equityinstruments, the company may make anirrevocable election to present in othercomprehensive income subsequent changesin the fair value. The company makes suchelection on an instrument-by-instrument basis.The classification is made on initial recognitionand is irrevocable. If the company decides toclassify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI,then all fair value changes on the instrument,excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI.There is no recycling of the amounts from OCIto statement of profit and loss, even on saleof investment. However, the company maytransfer the cumulative gain or loss withinequity. Equity instruments included within theFVTPL category are measured at fair valuewith all changes recognized in the statementof profit and loss.
(f) Investments in subsidiaries:
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at costless accumulated impairment losses, if any.Where an indication of impairment exists, thecarrying amount of the investment is assessedand written down immediately to its recoverableamount. On disposal of investments insubsidiaries, the difference between netdisposal proceeds and the carrying amountsare recognised in the statement of profitand loss.
(g) De-recognition of Financial Instruments:
The Company derecognises a Financial Assetwhen the contractual rights to the cash flowsfrom the Financial Asset expire or it transfersthe Financial Asset and the transfer qualifiesfor de-recognition under Ind AS 109. In caseswhere Company has neither transferred norretained substantially all of the risks and
rewards of the financial asset, but retainscontrol of the financial asset, the Companycontinues to recognize such financial assetto the extent of its continuing involvement inthe financial asset. In that case, the Companyalso recognizes an associated liability. Thefinancial asset and the associated liability aremeasured on a basis that reflects the rightsand obligations that the Company has retained.
A Financial liability (or a part of a financialliability) is derecognised from the Company'sBalance Sheet when the obligation specifiedin the contract is discharged or cancelled orexpires. When an existing financial liability isreplaced by another from the same lender onsubstantially different terms, or the terms ofan existing liability are substantially modified,such an exchange or modification is treated asthe derecognition of the original liability andthe recognition of a new liability.
The difference between the carrying amountof the financial liability de-recognised and theconsideration paid and payable is recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(h) Impairment of Financial Assets:
The Company assesses at each date ofbalance sheet whether a financial assetor a group of financial assets is impaired.Ind AS 109 requires expected credit lossesto be measured through a loss allowance.The Company recognises lifetime expectedlosses for all contract assets and / or all tradereceivables that do not constitute a financingtransaction. In determining the allowancefor expected credit losses, the Company hasused a practical expedient by computingthe expected credit loss allowance for tradereceivables based on a provision matrix. Theprovision matrix takes into account historicalcredit loss experience and is adjusted forforward looking information. The expectedcredit loss allowance is based on the ageingof the receivables that are due and allowancerates used in the provision matrix. For all otherfinancial assets, expected credit losses are
measured at an amount equal to the 12-monthsexpected credit losses or at an amount equalto the life time expected credit losses if thecredit risk on the financial asset has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition.
(i) Offsetting of Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities areoffset and presented on net basis in the balancesheet when there is a legally enforceable rightto set-off the recognised amounts and it isintended to either settle them on net basisor to realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In determining the fair value of its financialinstruments, the Company uses a variety ofmethods and assumptions that are based onmarket conditions and risks existing at eachreporting date. The methods used to determinefair value include discounted cash flowanalysis and available quoted market prices,where applicable. All methods of assessing fairvalue result in general approximation of value,and such value may never actually be realized.
Financial instruments by category areseparately disclosed indicating carrying valueand fair value of financial assets and liabilities.For financial assets and liabilities maturingwithin one year from the Balance Sheet dateand which are not carried at fair value, thecarrying amounts approximate fair value dueto the short maturity of these instruments.
(j) Cash Flow hedges
The Company defines the risk managementobjective and strategy for undertaking thehedge. The Company also defines the economicrelationship between the hedged item and thehedging instrument, including whether thechanges in cash flows of the hedged item andhedging instrument are expected to offseteach other.
The company is exposed to foreign exchangerisk arising from foreign currency transactions,
primarily with respect to USD. Foreignexchange risk arises from future commercialtransactions and recognised assets andliabilities denominated in a currency that is notthe company's functional currency (INR).
The risk is measured through a forecast ofhighly probable foreign currency cash flows.The objective of the hedges is to minimisethe volatility of the INR cash flows of highlyprobable forecast transactions. The companyrisk management policy is to hedge forecastedforeign currency net sales for the subsequent12 to 36 months. As per the risk managementpolicy, appropriate foreign currency hedges areexecuted or undertaken to hedge forecastednet sales.
When a derivative is designated as a cashflow hedging instrument, the effective portionof changes in the fair value of the derivativeis recognised in OCI and accumulated in otherequity. If a hedge no longer meets the criteriafor hedge accounting or the hedging instrumentis sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised,then hedge accounting is discontinuedprospectively. When hedge accounting for cashflow hedges is discontinued, the amount thathas been accumulated in other equity remainsthere until it is reclassified to profit or lossin the same period or periods as the hedgedexpected future cash flows affect profit orloss. If the hedged future cash flows are nolonger expected to occur, then the amountsthat have been accumulated in other equity areimmediately classified as a statement of profitand loss.
(k) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research costs are expensed as incurred.Development expenditures on an individualproject are recognised as an intangible assetwhen the Company can demonstrate:
• development costs can be measuredreliably;
• the product or process is technically andcommercially feasible;
• future economic benefits are probable;and
• the company intends to, and has sufficientresources to complete development andto use or sell the asset.
Following initial recognition of the developmentexpenditure as an asset, the asset is carried atcost less any accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisationof the asset begins when development iscomplete and the asset is available for use.It is amortised over the period of expectedfuture benefit. Amortisation expense isrecognised in the statement of profit andloss unless such expenditure forms part ofcarrying value of another asset. During theperiod of development, the asset is tested forimpairment annually."
Nature and Purpose of ReservesSecurity Premium:
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilised only for limited purposessuch as issuance of bonus shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Capital Redemption Reserve :
This reserve comprises of amount on Equity share cancellation on account of Scheme of arrangement on Demerger. Thisreserve can be utilised in accordance with the provision of section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013
General Reserve :
Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at aspecified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations adjusted by utilisation of reserve in accordance withcompanies act in earlier years before demerger. The requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the netprofit to general reserve before declaration of dividend has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred tothe general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.
Retained Earning :
Retained earning are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, any transfersfrom or to other comprehensive income, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
Performance Stock Option Plan :
The share options outstanding account is used to record the fair value of equity-settled, share-based payment transactionswith employees. The amounts recorded in share options outstanding account are transferred to securities premium, uponexercise of stock options, and transferred to general reserve on account of stock options not exercised by employees.
Equity instruments through Other Comprehensive Income :
Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses that are not recognized in the income statement,comprising fair value changes in debt investments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI),fair value changes in equity investments designated as FVTOCI, and mark-to-market adjustments on forward contractsused for hedging purposes. These unrealized gains and losses are accumulated within the other comprehensive incomereserve within equity, and the Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings for equity investmentswhen derecognized, and to the statement of profit or loss for debt instruments upon maturity or redemption and for forwardcontracts when hedge accounting ceases to apply.
Footnotes:
(a) Disaggregate revenue information
Refer Note 36 for disaggregated revenue information. The management determines that the segment informationreported is sufficient to meet the disclosure objective with respect to disaggregation of revenue under Ind AS 115"Revenue from contracts with customers".
(b) In case of Domestic Sales, payment terms range from 60 days to 120 days based on geography and customers. In caseof Export Sales these are either against documents at sight, documents against acceptance or letters of credit - 60days to 120 days. There is no significant financing component in any transaction with the customers.
(c) The Company does not provide performance warranty for products, therefore there is no liability towards performancewarranty.
(d) The Company does not have any remaining performance obligation as contracts entered for sale of goods are for ashorter duration.
A Post-employment benefits
(i) Provident Fund (defined contribution plan)
The company has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund for employees at the rateof 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by thegovernment. The obligation of the company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual norany constructive obligation. The expense recognized during the period towards defined contribution plan are ' 695.29lakhs (PY ' 591.46 lakhs).
(ii) Retirement Gratuity (defined benefit plans)
The company provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are incontinuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees' last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multipliedby number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the company makes contributions to recognisedfunds in India. The company maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based onestimations of expected gratuity payments.
"Defined benefit plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment Risk, Interest Risk, LongevityRisk and Salary Risk.
(i) Investment risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by referenceto government bond yields. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
(ii) Interest risk:
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offset by anincrease in the value of plan's debt investments.
(iii) Salary risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of planparticipants. As such, an increase in salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
(iv) Longevity risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of themortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of theplan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Notes:
(i) The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptionsoccurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
(ii) The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefitobligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of theassumptions may be correlated.
(iii) Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation hasbeen calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same methodas applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
(iv) There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
(v) The Company is expected to contribute ' 256.29 lakhs to defined benefit plan obligations funds for the year endedMarch 31,2026.
(vi) Expected return on assets is determined by multiplying the opening fair value of the plan assets by the expected rateof return determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of expected contributions & expectedsettlements during the reporting period.
(vii) The Weighted Average Duration of the Plan works out to 9 years.
(viii) Asset Liability matching strategy:
The money contributed by the Company to the Gratuity fund to finance the liabilities of the plan has to be invested.The trustees of the plan have outsourced the investment management of the fund to an insurance Company. Theinsurance Company in turn manages these funds as per the mandate provided to them by the trustees and the assetallocation which is within the permissible limits prescribed in the insurance regulations.
Due to the restrictions in the type of investments that can be held by the fund, it is not possible to explicitly follow anasset liability matching strategy. There is no compulsion on the part of the Company to fully prefund the liability of thePlan.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 : Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instrumentsand mutual funds that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2 : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuationtechniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. Ifall significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3 : If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, listed redeemable preference shares for which sufficient observable marketdata was not available during the year, etc. included in level 3.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments thatare (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed inthe financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the grouphas classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation ofeach level followed is given in the table above
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's RiskManagement framework. The Board has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developingand monitoring the Company's Risk Management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on itsactivities.
The Company's financial assets comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks,trade receivables and other receivables and financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade payables and otherpayables
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company's overall risk managementfocuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financialperformance of the Company. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as cross currency swaps andinterest rate swaps to hedge foreign currency risk and interest rate risk exposure . Derivatives are used exclusively forhedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.
A Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other pricerisk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, investments, trade payables, trade receivablesand derivative financial instruments.
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate dueto changes in market interest rates. Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowings.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity on the Company's profit before tax, to a reasonably possiblechange in interest rates of variable rate borrowings on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, with allother variables held constant:
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because ofchanges in foreign exchange rates. The Company transacts in several currencies and consequently the Companyis exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales outside India, and purchases from overseas suppliers invarious foreign currencies. The company also has borrowings in foregin currency. The exchange rate betweenthe Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantiallyin the future. Consequently, the results of the Company's operations are affected as the rupee appreciates /depreciates against these currencies. Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchaseof raw materials and services in the respective currencies.
(B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily for tradereceivables and deposits with banks and other financial assets. The Company ensures that sales of products are madeto customers with appropriate creditworthiness. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored by themanagement. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers.Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks.
Refer footnotes c and d below note no.10 for ageing of trade receivables and movement in credit loss allowance.
(C) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations without incurring unacceptablelosses. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are availablefor use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from variousbanks. Furthermore, the Company has access to undrawn lines of committed borrowing/facilities. The Companyinvests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposits and in mutual funds, which carry no or low market risk. The companyconsistently generates sufficient cash flows from operations or from cash and cash equivalents to meet its financialobligations including lease liabilities as and when they fall due.

(m) The Company uses SAP ECC as its accounting software. SAP ECC ensures an audit trail, providing standard functionalityand logging of all data changes in the system. This functionality and audit trail feature in SAP ECC has been operationalthroughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded through the application. The Company uses accountingdocuments to record all business transactions - posted documents are stored in SAP ECC for every transaction, and
a financial document once posted cannot be deleted or changed for data points impacting the financials. The SAP ECCenvironment is appropriately governed, and only authorized users can make postings while interacting with the systemthrough the application layer. Normal/regular users are not granted direct database or super user level access thatwould allow them to make changes to financial documents directly after they have been posted through the application.To operate the SAP ECC application and the database, the system necessarily requires a set of super-users to havedatabase-level access. These super-users are obligated to perform system-related tasks and are not allowed to carryout any direct changes/edits to financial transactions in the database, which if carried out would be unauthorized. Inthe event of an unauthorized change by a super user, these can be detected through an investigative approach and/orusing services provided by SAP as part of their financial data quality check service, which validates the consistencyof financials based on client request. Therefore, while the database does not currently have the concurrent real-timeaudit trail feature due to technical constraints, the tracking of changes can be accomplished through a focused inquiryprocess.
