Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past eventand it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Prov'sions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on themost reliable evdence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated withthe present obligation. Prov'sions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representingthe best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at apre-tax rate that refects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to theliability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
Any reimbursement that the Company can be v'rtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to theobligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the relatedprovsion.
All prov'sions are rev'ewed at each reporting date and adjusted to refect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is consideredimprobable or remote, no liability is recognised.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and the existence of which will be confirmedonly by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the controlof the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is notpossible that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligationsor reliable estimate of the amount of the obligations cannot be made. The Company discloses the existence ofcontingent liabilities in other notes to standalone financial statements.
Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibilityof an inflow of economic benefits. Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when inflow of economicbenefits is probable, related asset is disclosed.
(t) Operating Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provded to the chiefoperating decision maker. The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with theaccounting policies adopted by the Company. As per Ind As 108 Operating Segments are identified based onthe nature of products, the different risks and returns, being the performance measure of the Company. Thecompany is engaged in the business of manufacture and distribution of Nonwoven Fabrics. Further disclosureof segments based on geography by location of customers i.e. in India and outside India has been made.
(u) Income taxCurrent tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to thetaxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted orsubstantively enacted in India, at the reporting date.
Current tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit or loss is recognised (other comprehensiveincome). Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations inwhich applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Current tax assets is offset against current tax liabilities if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to setoff the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset andsettle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assetsand liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused taxcredits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward ofunused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised forall the taxable temporary differences.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that itis no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assetto be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognisedto the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to berecovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year whenthe asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit or loss is recognised outside statementof profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised incorrelation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off currenttax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the sametaxation authority.
(v) Leases
Company as a lessee
The Company assesses if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains,a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period time in exchangefor consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date, except forshort-term leases of twelve months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, which areexpensed in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at thecommencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if not readily determinable,the incremental borrowing rate specific to the company, term and currency of the contract. Lease paymentscan include fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate known at the commencementdate, as well as any extension or purchase options, if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise these
options. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method andremeasured w'th a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset when there is a change in futurelease payments in case of renegotiation, changes of an index or rate or in case of reassessments of options.
The right-of-use asset comprises, at inception, the initial lease liability, any initial direct costs and, whenapplicable, the obligations to refurbish the asset, less any incentives granted by the lessors. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the lease term, if the lease transfers theownership of the underlying asset to the Company at the end of the lease term or, if the cost of the right-of-useasset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, over the estimated useful life of the underlyingasset. other are also subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator for impairment. Variable leasepayments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are expensed to the statement of operationsin the period in which the events or conditions which trigger those payments occur.
The Company applies the low-value asset recognition exemption on a lease-by-lease basis, if the lease qualifiesas leases of low-value assets. In making this assessment, the Company also factors below key aspects
a. the assessment is conducted on an absolute basis and is independent of the size, nature, or circumstalessee.
b. the assessment is based on the value of the asset when new, regardless of the asset's age at the time of thelease.
c. the lessee can benefit from the use of the underlying asset either independently or in combination w'thother readily available resources, and the asset is not highly dependent on or interrelated with otherassets.
d. if asset is subleased or expected to be subleased, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset.
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an assetare classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease shall not be straight-lined, if escalationin rentals is in line with expected inflationary cost. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arrangingan operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term onthe same basis as rental income.
(w) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand, short-term deposits and highly liquidinvestments w'th an original maturity of three months or less which are readily convertible in cash and subjectto insignificant risk of change in value.
(x) Government Grants
The Company may receive government grants that require compliance with certain conditions related to theCompany's operating activities or are provided to the company by way of financial assistance on the basis ofcertain qualifying criteria. Government grants are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurancethat the grant w'll be received upon the company complying with the conditions attached to the grant.Accordingly, government grant :
(i) related to incurring specific expenditures are taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss on the same basisand in the same periods as the expenditures incurred and disclosed in other income.
(ii) related to Packaging Scheme of Incentives Government of Maharashtra are initially carried by setting upthese grants as Deferred Government Grants and amortised/recognised in the statement of profit and losson straight line method and disclosed in Other Income.
(iii) related to acquisition of property, plant & equipment are initially carried by setting up these grants asDeferred Government Grants and amortised/recognised in the statement of profit and loss on straight linemethod and netted off from depreciation expenses.
(iv) Government grants under Export Promotion Credit Guarantee Scheme (EPCG) related to duty savedon import of property, plant and equipment are initially carried by setting up this grant as "DeferredGovernment Grants" and credited to the statement of profit and loss on the basis of pattern of fulfilmentof obligations associated with the grant received and shown under "Other Income".
(y) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to the equityshareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year and for all periods presented isadjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that havechanged the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to the equityshareholders of the Company and weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basicearnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issuedupon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for theproceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value ofthe outstanding equity shares).
(z) Fair value measurement
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods andassumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methodsused to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealerquotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may neveractually be realized. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet dateand which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturityof these instruments.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transactionbetween market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observableor estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, theCompany takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability, if market participants would take thosecharacteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance ofthe inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices /net asset value (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets orliabilities that the company can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the assetor liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liabilityor equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreigncurrency forward contracts and commodity futures contracts.
(aa)Financial instruments
A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liabilityor equity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the financial instrument. Financial instrument (except trade receivables) are measured initiallyat fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss whichare measured initially at fair value. Trade receivables are measured at their transaction price unless it containsa significant financing component in accordance with Ind AS 115 for pricing adjustments embedded in thecontract.
Subsequent measurement (Non-derivative financial assets)
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:
i. Debt instruments at amortised cost
ii. Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
iii. Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost, if both the following conditions are met:
a. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractualcash flows, and
b. Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost usingthe effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account anydiscount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIRamortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment arerecognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assetsare held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows onspecified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstandingand selling financial assets.
On initial recognition, the Company has an irrevocable option to present changes in the fair value ofequity investments not held for trading in OCI. This option is made on an investment-by-investment basis.Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and lossesarising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in otherEquity. Where the asset is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss prev'ously accumulated in the otherEquity is directly reclassified to retained earnings.
iii. Financial assets at fair value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, areclassified as at FVTPL.
Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized inthe Statement of Profit & Loss.
Derivatives
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreigncurrency risks and interest rate risk respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognisedat fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at
fair value provided by the respective banks. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value ispositive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded directly to statement ofprofit and loss.
De-recognition of financial assets: A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the contractual rights toreceive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flowsfrom the asset.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit orloss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effectivehedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans andborrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bankoverdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement (Non-derivative financial liabilities)
Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost usingthe effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially differentterms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification istreated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference inthe respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement andrecognition of impairment loss for financial assets. ECL is the weighted-average of difference between allcontractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows thatthe Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with the respective risks ofdefault occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:
• AH contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected lifeof the assets.
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractualterms.
Trade receivables: In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS109, which requires measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events overthe expected life of a financial instrument.
Other financial assets: In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk onthose financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increasedsignificantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to12-month expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expectedlife of the financial asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring onthe financial asset as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial assetas at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is availablewithout undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initialrecognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.
Offsetting of financial instruments: Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amountis reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amountsand there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(ab) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. Theliability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of (i) the amount determined inaccordance with the expected credit loss model as per IndAS 109 and (ii) the amount initially recognisedless, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS115. The fair value of financial guarantees is determined based on the present value of the difference in cashflows between the contractual payments required under the debt instrument and the payments that would berequired without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assumingthe obligations.
(ac) Recent amendments
(i) New and amended standards adopted by the Company: The Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifiesnew standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions,applicable to the Company w.e.f.

The Company hasrecovered in current year Rs. 13,650.88 lakhs (including Rs. 4,501.93 lakhs interest thereon) which has beenshown as exceptional item.
(b) The Company has a non-current investment in equity shares of its Subsidiary, JPF Netherland Investment B.V.amounting to Rs. 54,840.69 lakhs (previous year Rs. 43,194.59 lakhs). An impairment assessment was made asat March 31, 2025 using the discounted cash flow model and the key assumption used in calculating the value inuse as below:
• Terminal growth rate is assumed at 3.5% (previous year Nil)and is based on industry growth rate.
• The free cash flow arrived are at discounted to present value using weighted average cost of capital (WACC) atthe rate of 8.74% (including 1.75% addition alpha/risk) (previous year Nil)
• The Equity value of JPF Netherland B.V. was determined to be Rs. 52,236.25 lakhs (prev'ous year Nil) (3.77Million euro/share) as against the cost of acquisition of Rs. 54,840.69 lakhs (previous year Rs. 43,194.59lakhs).
The company has performed an impairment test of its investment in JPF Netherland Investment B.V. during thecurrent financial year. Based on this assessment, a provision of Rs. 2,604.44 lakhs (prev'ous year Nil) has beenrecorded in financial statements.
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory frameworkwhich may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in prov'ding the above gratuity benefitwhich are as follows:
Discount Rate risk: Discount Rate risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated usingdiscount rate based on Government bonds.
Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates willresult in an increase in the ultimate cost of prov'ding the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in thevalue of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This mayarise due to non availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assetsnot being sold in time.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption ofsalary increase rate of plan participants in future. Dev'ation in the rate of increase of salary in future for planparticipants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have abearing on the plan's liability.
Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability.The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
47.01 Under the Package Scheme of Incentive 2013 approved by the Government of Maharashtra, the Company isentitled to industrial promotion subsidy to the extent of 100% of the fixed capital investment or to the extent oftaxes paid to the State Government in next 20 years from the date of commercial production, whichever is lower.During the year, subsidy receivable under the above scheme aggregating Rs Nil (Previous year Rs Nil) has beenaccounted by setting up these grants as deferred Government grants as "Non-Current/Current Liabilities" andamortised/recognised in the statement of profit and loss on straight line method over the useful life of relatedplant and machinery and disclosed in "Other Income".
47.02 Rs. Nil (Previous year Rs. 113.49 lakhs) accounted as Deferred Government Grants for duty saved on importof capital goods and spares under the EPCG scheme. Under the scheme, the company is committed to exportgoods at the prescribed times of duty saved on import of capital goods over a specified period of time. In casesuch commitments are not met, the company would be required to pay the duty saved along with interest to theregulatory authorities. Such grants recognised are released to the statement of profit & loss based on fulfilmentof related export obligations.
47.03 Non-woven fabrics division of the Company has received / receivable Rs. 1,692.97 lakhs (Previous yearRs 1,565.90 lakhs) being subsidy for electricity tariff under Government of Maharashtra scheme for textileindustry in respect of capital investment made in previous year and disclosed in other income. (Refer note 32)
47.04 The Company is entitled to certain capital subsidy under TUFS scheme under State Textile Policy 2018-23. TheCompany has recognised the capital subsidy of Rs. Nil (Previous year Rs 36,542.01 lakhs) with the Governmentof Maharashtra for the expansion made in earlier year, in accordance with Ind AS 20. Upon submission of thesubsidy application during the year, the division has accounted for subsidy amortization as deduction fromdepreciation cost.
Level 1: hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices / net asset value. This includeslisted equity instruments, traded bonds, alternate investment funds and mutual funds that have quoted price /net asset value. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued usingthe closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, tradedbonds) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and relyas little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument areobservable, the instrument is included in level 2; and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determinedin whole or in part using a net asset value or valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supportedby prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on availablemarket data.
There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.
(b) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- the use of quoted market prices or net asset value for similar instruments.
- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2 or level 3, where the fair values have beendetermined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or owncredit risk.
The Company has obtained the valuation report from a registered valuer, required for financial reportingpurposes, including level 3 fair values.
The main level 3 inputs for unlisted preference shares used by the Company are derived and evaluated as follows:
- Risk adjusted discount rates are estimated based on expected cash inflows arising from the instrument and theentity's knowledge of the business and how the current economic environment is likely to impact it.
- The fair market value of unquoted equity shares was computed on NAV method based on underlying equityshares of listed entity on reporting date.
Note No. 52 : Financial risk management
(a) Risk management framework
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company'srisk management framework. The board of directors has established the processes to ensure that executivemanagement controls risks through the mechanism of properly defined framework.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company,to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policiesand systems are reviewed by the board annually to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company'sactivities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain adisciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. TheCompany's management oversees the management of these risks. The management reviews and agrees policiesfor managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument failsto meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers andinvestments in debt securities.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company monitor creditrisk very closely both in domestic and export market. The Management's impact analysis shows credit risk andimpact assessment as low.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, includingthe default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company's management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysedindividually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions areoffered. The Company's review includes market check, industry feedback, past financials and external ratings, ifthey are available, and in some cases bank references. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewedquarterly. Any sales exceeding those limits require appropriate approvals.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect oftrade and other receivables. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation ofexpected credit loss for trade receivables.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse theholder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with theterms of a debt instrument.
The Company manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk it is willing to accept forindividual entities within the group, and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits. It is the responsibilityof the Board of Directors to review and manage credit risk.
The Company has, based on current available information and based on the policy approved by the Board ofDirectors, calculated impairment loss allowance using the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model to cover theguarantees provided to banks.
The Company has assessed the credit risk associated with its financial guarantee contracts for allowance forExpected Credit Loss (ECL) as at the respective year end. The Company makes use of various reasonable supportiveforward-looking parameters which are both qualitative as well as quantitative while determining the change incredit risk and the probability of default.
The Company has developed an ECL Model that takes into consideration the stage of delinquency, Probability ofDefault (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD).
I. Probability of Default (PD): represents the likelihood of default over a defined time horizon. The definitionof PD is taken as 90 days past due for all loans.
II. Exposure at Default (EAD): represents what is the user's likely borrowing at the time of default.
III. Loss Given Default (LGD): represents expected losses on EAD given the event of default.
Each financial guarantee contract is classified into (a) Stage 1, (b) Stage 2 and (c) Stage 3 (Default or CreditImpaired). Delinquency buckets have been considered as the basis for the staging of all credit exposure underthe guarantee contract in the following manner:
The Company's maximum exposure relating to financial guarantees is Rs. 41,091.38 lakhs (Previous yearRs 36,237.26 lakhs).
Considering the creditworthiness of entities within the group in respect of which financial guarantees have beengiven to banks, the management believes that the group entities have a low risk of default and do not have anyamounts past due. Accordingly, no allowance for expected credit loss needs to be recognised as at respectiveperiod-ends.
Investments are reviewed for any fair valuation loss on a periodic basis and necessary provision/fair valuationadjustments have been made based on the either fair valuation available or valuation carried by the independentvaluer, where applicable and the management does not expect any investee entities to fail to meet itsobligations.Where book value of any investment became negative, adequate provision for impairment has beenprovided in the books. Accordingly provision for impairment on investment of Rs 2,604.44 lakhs (Previous yearRs 4.50 lakhs).
Credit risk on loans is generally low as the said loans have been given to the group companies and no materialimpairment loss has been recognized against these loans. The Company management has analysed individuallyfor creditworthiness before the loans are offered.
During the year, the Company has not written off any other receivables. However, based on an assessment ofthe recoverability of these balances and in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Companydoes not expect to receive future cash flows or recoveries from these receivables within the next 12 months.Accordingly, an allowance for expected credit loss has been recognized to reflect the estimated impairment ofthese financial assets.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalent, deposits with the bank is generally low as the said deposits have beenmade with the banks who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.Receivable from Government
The Company's receivables from the Government of India/State, credit risk is considered Nil hence, no impairmentprovision has been made in the books.
