5C. Significant management judgement inapplying material and other accountingpolicies and estimation uncertainty:
The preparation of the Company's financialstatements requires the management tomake judgements, estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of revenues,expenses, assets and liabilities, and theaccompanying disclosures, and the disclosureof contingent liabilities:
The evaluation of applicability of indicatorsof impairment of assets requires themanagement to make an assessment ofseveral external and internal factors whichcould result in deterioration of recoverableamount of the assets.
At each balance sheet date, based onhistorical default rates observed overexpected life, the management assessesthe expected credit losses on outstandingreceivables and advances.
Management's estimate of the DBO is basedon a number of underlying assumptionssuch as standard rates of inflation,mortality, discount rate and anticipation offuture salary increases. Variation in theseassumptions may significantly impact theDBO amount and the annual definedbenefit expenses.

Contingent liabilities may arise from theordinary course of business in relation toclaims against the Company, (refer note46A). By their nature, contingencies will beresolved only when one or more uncertainfuture events occur or fail to occur. Theassessment of the existence, and potentialquantum, of contingencies inherentlyinvolves the exercise of significantjudgments by management and the use ofestimates regarding the outcome of futureevents.
Management applies valuation techniquesto determine the fair value of financialinstruments (where active market quotesare not available) and share basedpayments. This involves developingestimates and assumptions consistent withhow market participants would price theinstrument. The Company engages thirdparty valuers, where required, to performthe valuation.

The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its businessstrategies.
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Boardof Directors ('Board') oversee the management of these financial risks through its Risk ManagementCommittee. The risk management policy of the Company formulated by the Risk Management Committeeand approved by the Board, states the Company's approach to address uncertainties in its endeavourto achieve its stated and implicit objectives. It prescribes the roles and responsibilities of the Company'smanagement, the structure for managing risks and the framework for risk management. The frameworkseeks to identify, assess and mitigate financial risks in order to minimize potential adverse effects on theCompany's financial performance.
The following disclosures summarize the Company's exposure to financial risks and informationregarding use of derivatives employed to manage exposures to such risks. Quantitative sensitivityanalysis have been provided to reflect the impact of reasonably possible changes in market rates onthe financial results, cash flows and financial position of the Company.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows arising out ofchange in the price of a financial instrument. These include change as a result of changes in theinterest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affectmarket risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financialinstruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loansand borrowings.
The Company manages market risk through a risk management committee engaged in, inter alia,evaluation and identification of risk factors with the object of governing/mitigating them accordingto Company's objectives and declared policies in specific context of impact thereof on varioussegments of financial instruments. The Board provides oversight and reviews the risk managementpolicy on a quarterly basis.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrumentwill fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to balance the Company'sposition with regards to interest income and interest expense and to manage the interest raterisk, treasury performs comprehensive interest rate risk management. As the Company doesnot have any significant amount of debt, the exposure to interest rate risk from the perspectiveof Financial Liabilities is negligible. Further, treasury activities, focused on managing investmentsin debt instruments, are centralised and administered under a set of approved policies andprocedures guided by the tenets of safety, liquidity and returns. This ensures that investmentsare made within acceptable risk parameters after due evaluation.
The Company operates internationally with transactions entered into several currencies.Consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk towards honouring of export /import commitments.
Management evaluates exchange rate exposure in this connection in terms of its establishedrisk management policies which includes the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forwardcontracts to hedge risk of exposure in foreign currency.
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary items are asfollows:
The above table represents total exposure of the Company towards foreign exchangedenominated assets and liabilities. The details of unhedged exposures are given as part ofnote 56.

The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments held and classified as FVTPL orFVTOCI. To manage the price risk arising from investments, the Company diversifies its portfolioof assets.
Profit or loss and equity is sensitive to higher/lower prices of instruments on the Company'sprofit for the year:
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligationsas agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers,taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical baddebts and ageing of account receivables. Individual risk limits are also set accordingly.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whetherthere has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reportingperiod. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company comparesthe risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at thedate of initial recognition. The Company considers reasonable and supportive forward-lookinginformation.
Financial assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such asdebtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. The Company provides for overdueoutstanding for more than 90 days other than institutional customers which are evaluated on a
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company'scustomer base being large and diverse. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for defaulton a quarterly basis.

The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities are defined as the price that would bereceived on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values areconsistent with those used for the financial year 2023-24. The following methods and assumptions wereused to estimate the fair values:
i) The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value ('NAV') as statedby the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date.NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price atwhich issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
ii) The fair values of other investments measured at FVTOCI and FVTPL are determined based onobservable market data other than quoted prices in active market.
iii) The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in thesestandalone financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since theCompany does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from thevalues that would eventually be received or settled.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value in these financial statement and aregrouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observabilityof significant inputs to the measurement elucidated in item 5B(e) of accounting policies.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
(a) Investment in mutual funds: The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based onthe net asset value ('NAV') as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the publishedstatements as at Balance Sheet date.
(b) Investment in debt instruments: The fair value of investments that are not traded in an activemarket is determined using market approach and valuation techniques which maximize the useof observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
