Provisions are recognised when the Company hasa present obligation (Legal or constructive) as aresult of a 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. When the Company expects some orall of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,under an insurance contract, the reimbursementis recognised as a separate asset, but onlywhen the reimbursement is virtually certain.The expense relating to a provision is presentedin the Statement of Profit and Loss net of anyreimbursement.
Cost of return on account of breakage andexpiries are estimated on the basis of pastexperience. Provision is made in respect of costfor breakage and expiries in the year of sale ofgoods.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, therisks specific to the Liability. When discountingis used, the increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in thenotes. Contingent Liabilities are disclosed for (1)possible obligations which will be confirmed onlyby future events not wholly within the control ofthe Company or (2) present obligations arisingfrom past events where it is not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation or a reliable estimate of the amount ofthe obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in thefinancial statements as this may result in therecognition of income that may never be there.
Financial assets and financial Liabilities arerecognised when the Company becomes a partyto the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial Liabilities (otherthan trade receivables) are initially measuredat fair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition or issue of thefinancial assets and financial Liabilities (otherthan financial assets and financial Liabilities atfair value through profit or Loss) are added toor deducted from the fair value of the financialassets or financial Liabilities, as appropriate, oninitial recognition. Transactions costs directlyattributable to the acquisition of financial assetsand financial Liabilities at fair value throughprofit or Loss are recognised immediately in theStatement of Profit and Loss. However, tradereceivables that do not contain significantfinancing component are measured at transactionprice.
p. Financial assets
ALL regular way purchases or sales of financialassets are recognised and derecognised on atrade date basis. Regular way purchases or salesare purchases or sales of financial assets thatrequire delivery of assets within the time frameestablished by regulation or convention in themarket place.
ALL recognised financial assets are subsequentlymeasured at either amortised cost or fair valuethrough profit or Loss or fair value throughother comprehensive income, depending on theclassification of the financial assets. Financialassets are not reclassified subsequent totheir recognition, except during the periodthe Company changes its business model formanaging financial assets.
Debt instruments that meet the followingconditions are subsequently measured atamortised cost:
a) The asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold assets in order orcollect contractual cash flows; and
b) The contractual terms of the instrument giverise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest onthe principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that does not meet the aboveconditions are subsequently measured at fairvalue.
The effective interest is a method of calculatingthe amortised cost of a debt instrument and
of allocating interest income over the relevantperiod. The effective interest rate is the rate thatexactly discounts estimated future cash receiptsthrough the expected Life of the debt instrument,or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to thenet carrying amount in initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interestbasis for debt instruments. Interest income isrecognised in the Statement of Profit and Lossand is included in the "Other income" Line item.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies expected credit Lossmodel for recognising impairment Loss onfinancial assets measured at amortised cost,trade receivables and other contractual rights toreceive cash or other financial asset.
Expected credit Losses are the weighted averageof credit Losses with the respective risks ofdefault occurring as the weights. Credit Lossis the difference between all contractual cashflows that are due to the Company in accordancewith the contract and all the cash flows thatthe Company expects to receive (i.e. all cashshortfalls), discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interestrate for purchased or originated credit-impairedfinancial assets). The Company estimates cashflows by considering all contractual terms of thefinancial instrument (for example, prepayment,extension, call and similar options) through theexpected Life of that financial instrument.
The Company measures the Loss allowance fora financial instrument at an amount equal tothe Lifetime expected credit Losses if the creditrisk on that financial instrument has increasedsignificantly since initial recognition. If thecredit risk on a financial instrument has notincreased significantly since initial recognition,the Company measures the Loss allowance forthat financial instrument at an amount equalto 12-month expected credit Losses. 12-monthexpected credit Losses are portion of the Life¬time expected credit Losses and represent theLifetime cash shortfalls that will result if defaultoccurs within the 12 months after the reportingdate and thus, are not cash shortfalls that arepredicted over the next 12 months.
For trade receivables or any contractual right toreceive cash, the Company always measures theLoss allowance at an amount equal to Lifetimeexpected credit Losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring Lifetimeexpected credit Loss allowance for tradereceivables, the Company has used a practicalexpedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. Thisexpected credit Loss allowance is computedbased on a provision matrix which takes intoaccount historical credit Loss experience withadjusted for forward-looking information.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial assetwhen the contractual rights to the cash flowsfrom the asset expire, or when it transfers thefinancial asset and substantially all the risks andrewards of ownership of the asset to anotherparty. If the Company neither transfers norretains substantially all of the risks and rewardsof ownership and continues to control thetransferred asset, the Company recognises itsretained interest in the asset and an associatedLiability for amounts it may have to pay. If theCompany retains substantially all of the risksand rewards of ownership of a transferredfinancial asset, the Company continues torecognise the financial asset and also recognisesa collateralised borrowing for the proceedsreceived.
On derecognition of a financial asset in itsentirety, the difference between the asset'scarrying amount and the sum of the considerationreceived and receivable and the cumulativegain or Loss that had been recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated inequity is recognised in profit or Loss if such gainor Loss would have otherwise been recognised inthe Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal ofthat financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset otherthan in its entirety, the Company allocates theprevious carrying amount of the financial assetbetween the part it continues to recognise undercontinuing involvement, and the part it no Longerrecognises on the basis of the relative fair valuesof those parts on the date of the transfer. Thedifference between the carrying amount allocatedto the part that is no Longer recognised and thesum of the consideration received for the partno Longer recognised and any cumulative gain orLoss allocated to it that had been recognised inother comprehensive income is recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss on disposal of thatfinancial asset. A cumulative gain or Loss that hadbeen recognised in other comprehensive income
is allocated between the part that continuesto be recognised and the part that is no Longerrecognised on the basis of the relative fair valuesof those parts.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated ina foreign currency is determined in that foreigncurrency and translated at the spot rate at theend of each reporting period.
For foreign currency denominated financialassets measured at amortised cost, the exchangedifferences are recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss.
q. Financial liabilities and equity instrumentsClassification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by theCompany are classified as either financial Liabilityor as equity in accordance with the substance ofthe contractual arrangements and the definitionsof a financial Liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract thatevidences a residual interest in the assets of anentity after deducting all of its Liabilities. Equityinstruments issued by the Company is recognisedat the proceeds received, net of direct issuecosts.
Repurchase of the Company's own equityinstruments is recognised and deducted directlyin equity. No gain or Loss is recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss on the purchase,sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's ownequity instruments.
ALL financial Liabilities are subsequently measuredat amortised cost using the effective interestmethod.
Financial Liabilities are classified, at initialrecognition, as financial Liabilities at fair valuethrough profit or Loss, Loans and borrowings,payables, as appropriate.
Financial Liabilities that are not held-for-tradingand are not designated as at fair value throughprofit or Loss are measured at amortised cost atthe end of the subsequent accounting period.The carrying amount of financial Liabilities thatare subsequently measured at amortised costare determined based on the effective interestmethod. Interest expense that is not capitalised as
part of costs of an asset is included in the "Financecosts" Line item.
The effective interest method is a method ofcalculating the amortised cost of a financialLiability and of allocating interest expense over therelevant period. The effective interest rate is therate that exactly discounts estimated future cashpayments through the expected Life of the financialLiability, or, (where appropriate), a shorter period, tothe net carrying amount at initial recognition.
For financial Liabilities that are denominated in aforeign currency and are measured at amortisedcost at the end of each reporting period, the foreignexchange gains and Losses are determined basedon the amortised cost of the instrument and arerecognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial Liabilitywhen, and only when, the Company's obligationsare discharged, cancelled or have expired. Anexchange with a Lender of debt instrumentswith substantially different terms is accountedfor as an extinguishment of the original financialLiability and the recognition of a new Liability.Similarly, a substantial modification of the termsof an existing financial Liability is accounted foras an extinguishment of the original financialLiability and the recognition of a new Liability.The difference between the carrying amountof the financial Liability derecognised and theconsideration paid and payable is recognised inthe Statement of Profit and Loss.
If the Company neither transfers nor retainssubstantially all the risks and rewards ofownership and continues to control thetransferred asset, the Company recognises itsretained interest in the asset and an associatedLiability for amounts it may have to pay.
r. Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and Liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the balance sheetwhere there is a Legally enforceable right tooffset the recognised amounts and there is anintention to settle on a net basis or realise theasset and settle the Liability simultaneously. TheLegally enforceable right must not be contingenton future events and must be enforceable in thenormal course of business and in the event ofdefault, insolvency or bankruptcy of the companyor the counterparty.
s. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a mannerconsistent with the internal reporting providedto the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM)of the Company. The CODM is responsible forallocating resources and assessing performanceof the operating segments of the Company.
t. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents for the purposeof Statement of Cash Flows comprise cashand cheques in hand, bank balances, demanddeposits with banks where the original maturityis three months or Less and other short termhighly Liquid investments.
u. Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertakenwith the prospect of gaining new scientific ortechnical knowledge and understanding, isrecognised in the Statement of Profit and Lossas and when incurred.
The development activities undertaken by theCompany are subject to technical, regulatory andother uncertainties, such that, in the opinion ofmanagement, the criteria for capitalization arenot met prior to obtaining marketing approvalby the regulatory authorities in markets. Internaldevelopment cost that do not meet these criteriaare therefore expensed as and when incurred.
v. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing theprofit / Loss for the year after tax attributable to theequity shareholders of the Company by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstanding duringthe period. The weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the period and for allperiods presented is adjusted for events, such asbonus shares, other than the conversion of potentialequity shares that have changed the number ofequity shares outstanding, without a correspondingchange in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earningsper share, diluted earnings per share adjuststhe figures used in the determination of basicearnings per share to take into account the afterincome tax effect of interest and other financingcosts associated with dilutive potential equityshares, and the weighted average number ofadditional equity shares that would have beenoutstanding assuming the conversion of alldilutive potential equity shares.
w. Claims
Claims against the Company not acknowledgedas debts are disclosed after a careful evaluationof the facts and Legal aspects of the matterinvolved.
3 Critical accounting judgments and key sourcesof estimation uncertainty
3.1 Critical judgments in applying accountingpolicies
In the application of the Company's accountingpolicies, which are described in note 2, thedirectors of the Company are required to makejudgments, estimates and assumptions aboutthe carrying amounts of assets and Liabilitiesthat are not readily apparent from other sources.The estimates and associated assumptions arebased on historical experience and other factorsthat are considered to be relevant. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptionsare reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisionsto accounting estimates are recognised in theperiod in which the estimate is revised if therevision affects only that period, or in the periodof the revision and future periods of the revisionaffects both current and future periods.
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerningthe future, and other key sources of estimationuncertainty at the end of the reporting periodthat may have a significant risk of causing amaterial adjustment to the carrying amounts ofassets and Liabilities within the next financialyear.
a. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described at 2.3 (h) above, the Companyreviews the estimated useful Lives ofproperty, plant and equipment at the end ofeach reporting period.
b. Fair value measurements and valuationprocesses
Some of the Company's assets and Liabilitiesare measured at fair value for financialreporting purposes. The management ofthe Company determines the appropriatevaluation techniques and inputs for fairvalue measurements.
In estimating the fair value of an assetor a Liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available.Where Level 1 inputs are not available, theCompany engages third party qualifiedvaluers (Registered Valuer in terms of Section247 of the Companies Act, 2013) to performthe valuation. The management worksclosely with the qualified external valuers(Registered Valuer in terms of Section 247of the Companies Act, 2013) to establish theappropriate valuation techniques and inputsto the model.
Information about the valuation techniquesand inputs used in determining the fair valueof various assets and Liabilities are disclosedis note 34.
c. Defined benefit obligation
The costs of providing pensions and otherpost-employment benefits are chargedto the Statement of Profit and Loss inaccordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employeebenefits’ over the period duringwhich benefitis derived from the employees’ services.The costs are assessed on the basis ofassumptions selected by the management.These assumptions include salary escalationrate, discount rates, expected rate of returnon assets and mortality rates. The same isdisclosed in Note 28, ‘Employee benefitsexpense’.
The Company’s tax jurisdiction is India.Significant judgments are involved inestimating budgeted profits for the purposeof paying advance tax, determining theprovision for income taxes, including amountexpected to be paid / recovered for uncertaintax positions (refer note 30).
e. Measurement and Likelihood of occurrence ofprovisions and contingencies - As disclosedin Note 18 and Note 40, Management hasestimated and measured the Likelihood ofthe Litigations and accounted the provisionand contingencies as appropriate.
f. Expected Credit Loss (ECL)
In accordance with Ind AS 109 - FinancialInstruments, the Company applies ECLmodel for measurement and recognition of
impairment Loss on the trade receivablesor any contractual right to receive cash oranother financial asset that result fromtransactions that are within the scope ofInd AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts withCustomers.
For this purpose, the Company follows‘simplified approach’ for recognition ofimpairment Loss allowance on the tradereceivable balances, contract assetsand Lease receivables. The application ofsimplified approach requires expectedLifetime Losses to be recognised from initialrecognition of the receivables based onLifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
As a practical expedient, the Company usesa provision matrix to determine impairmentLoss allowance on portfolio of its tradereceivables. The provision matrix is based onits historically observed default rates overthe expected Life of the trade receivables andis adjusted for forward-looking estimates. Atevery reporting date, the historical observeddefault rates are updated and changes in theforward-looking estimates are analysed.
In case of other assets, the Companydetermines if there has been a significantincrease in credit risk of the financial assetsince initial recognition. If the credit risk ofsuch assets has not increased significantly,an amount equal to twelve months ECL ismeasured and recognised as Loss allowance.However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, an amount equal to LifetimeECL is measured and recognised as Lossallowance.
g. Inventories obsolescence
The factors that the Company considers indetermining the provision for slow moving,obsolete and other non-saleable inventoryinclude estimated shelf Life, planned productdiscontinuances, price changes, ageing ofinventory and introduction of competitivenew products, to the extent each of thesefactors impact the Company’s businessand markets. The Company considers allthese factors and adjusts the inventoryobsolescence to reflect its actual experienceon a periodic basis.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifiesnew standards or amendments to the existingstandards under Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules as issued from time to time.MCA had made certain amendments to Ind AS 116- Leases and introduced Ind AS 117 - InsuranceContracts during the financial year ended March31, 2025. The said amendments are effectivefrom April 01, 2024. The Company has reviewed
the new pronouncements and based on itsevaluation has determined that it does not haveany significant impact in its financial statements.Additionally, MCA has also made certainamendments to Ind AS 21 - The effectsof changes in foreign exchange rates videits notification dated 07.05.2025. The saidamendments are effective from April 01, 2025.Based on preliminary assessment, the Companydoes not expect these amendments to have anysignificant impact on its financial statements.
The Company has no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment property.However, the responsibility for its repairs, maintenance or enhancements is with the Company.
c) Fair Value
In case of Office premises property, based on Independent valuation report as on 20 May 2025, for oneof the property Located in the same premises, the management has estimated fair value of ' 3 460Lakhs for the investment properties. The aforesaid estimated amount will not be materially differentfrom the fair value of the property as on March 31, 2025.
In case of Land and building given on Lease during the year, Management has estimated the fair marketvalue of at ?2 066 Lakhs.
d) Policy for Estimation of Fair ValueThe Average Market Value
The Average Market Value is the value “As is where is Basis” derived by the average of Direct ComparisonMethod of valuation and the Rent Capitalization Method of the Office Space.
The Direct Comparison Approach involves a comparison of the subject property to similar propertiesthat have actually sold in arms-Length transactions or are offered for sale. This approach demonstrateswhat buyers have historically been willing to pay (and sellers willing to accept) for similar propertiesin an open and competitive market and is particularly useful in estimating the value of the Land andproperties that are typically traded on a unit basis.
The Rent Capitalisation Approach envisages capitalizing the annual net rent receivable / achievablefrom a property on market value basis using appropriate applicable yield rate for a respective assetclass.
In case of Land and building given on Lease, Land has been valued at prevailing asking rates in thesaid micro-market. In case of industrial building the same has been valued based on the currentconstruction cost, the age of the building, Lifespan of the building.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern whilemaximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. Equityshare capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of Company's capital management.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in Light of changes in economicconditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure,the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholder's if any, return on capital to shareholdersor issue new shares.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost in thefinancial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company doesnot anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that wouldeventually be received or settled.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk andLiquidity risk. The Company’s primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effectsof market risk on its financial performance. The Company’s risk management assessment, policies andprocesses are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriaterisk Limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment andmanagement policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions andthe Company’s activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeingthe Company’s risk assessment and management policies and processes.The Company has exposureto the following risks arising from financial instruments:
Credit risk is the risk of financial Loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financialinstrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’sreceivables from customers. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishingcredit Limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which theCompany grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes anallowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred Lossesin respect of trade and other receivables and investments.
Trade and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics ofeach customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industryand country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit Limits and continuouslymonitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in thenormal course of business.
Company’s exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as pernote 13.
Expected credit loss assessment
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by theCompany to determine incurred and expected credit Losses. Historical trends of impairment oftrade receivables do not reflect any significant credit Losses. Given that the macro economicindicators affecting customers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change,the Company expects the historical trend of minimal credit Losses to continue. Further,management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 30 daysare still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis ofcustomer credit risk. The impairment Loss at 31 March 2025 related to several customers thathave defaulted on their payments to the Company and are not expected to be able to pay theiroutstanding balances, mainly due to economic circumstances.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the yearis as per note 13.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances with credit worthybanks and financial institutions of ? 18 208 Lakhs (30 June 2024 ? 23 850 Lakhs). The credit¬worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on anongoing basis and is considered to be good.
Other financial assets include employee Loans, security deposits etc. Based on historicalexperience and credit profiles of counterparties, the Company does not expect any significantrisk of default.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for each of the above categories of financialassets is their carrying values.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations asthey become due. The Company manages its Liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, thatit will always have sufficient Liquidity to meet its Liabilities when due, under both normal andstressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable Losses or risk to the Company’s reputation.
As of 31 March 2025 the Company has working capital of ? 31 108 Lakhs (30 June 2024: ? 30 531Lakhs) including cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of ? 18 208 Lakhs (30 June2024: ? 23 850 Lakhs). Working capital is calculated as current assets Less current Liabilities.The table below analyse financial Liabilities of the Company into relevant maturity groupingsbased on the reporting period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date:
Market risk is the risk of Loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may resultfrom adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currencyexchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adversechanges in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitivefinancial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and Long¬term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange raterisk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company’s exposureto market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating andoperating activities in foreign currencies.
(i) Foreign currency risk management
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the profitand Loss account, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/Liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity.
Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, itsoperations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries.The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in EURO and USD against the respective functionalcurrency of the Company.
The Company does not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign exchange andinterest rate exposure.
The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies stated above.
The following table details impact to profit or Loss of the Company by sensitivity analysis of a10% increase and decrease in the respective currencies against the functional currency of theCompany. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to keymanagement personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possiblechanges in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreigncurrency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10%change on foreign currency rates.
The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial Liabilities at fairvalue through profit and Loss, and the Company does not have any designated derivatives.Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit and Loss forany of these fixed interest bearing financial instruments.
(iii) Other price risk management
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due tochanges in market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Companydoes not have any investments in equity instruments and bonds.
