A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, theCompany has a present legal or constructive obligation thatcan be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflowof economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future
cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditurerequired to settle the present obligation at the balance sheetdate) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessmentsof the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
A contract is considered onerous when the expected economicbenefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lowerthan the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under thecontract.

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees.

The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary ateach Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid / availed as a result of the unusedentitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date.
The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows.
Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in theultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

The fair value of services received in return for stock options granted to employees is measured by reference to the fair value of stock optionsgranted. The fair value of stock options granted under the Caplin Point Employee Stock Option Plan 2015, 2017 & 2021 has been measured usingthe Black-Scholes-Merton model at the date of the grant.
The Black-Scholes-Merton model includes assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. In respect of parvalue options granted, the expected term of an option (or “option life”) is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term, as well as theexpected exercise behavior of the employees receiving the option.
In respect of fair market value options granted, the option life is estimated based on the simplified method. Expected volatility of the option is basedon historical volatility, during a period equivalent to the option life, of the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares.Risk-free interest rates are based on the government securities yield in effect at the time of the grant. These assumptions reflect management's bestestimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company's control.
As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted.Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years.
The estimated fair value of stock options is recognized in the standalone income statement on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periodfor each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards.”
The Fair Value of Options granted during the year ended 31st March, 2025 and the Significant Assumptions used to arrive at those Fair values areas follows:
risk limits and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes inmarket condition and the Company's activities. The Company through its training, standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined andconstructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviewsthe adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversightrole by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of whichare reported to the audit committee.
Credit Risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractualobligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed throughcredit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of the customers to which the Company grantscredit terms in the normal course of business.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of thecustomer, including the default risk of the industry and 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 continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers towhich the Company grants the credit terms in the normal course of business.
The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.gtimeliness of payments, available information, etc) and applying experienced credit judgement.
Exposures to the customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expectedcredit losses, if any. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables reflects no credit losses. Given that the macroecomic indicators affectingcustomers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change, the Company expects the historical trend of “no credit loss” to continue.
No allowance for impairment in respect of trade and other receivables was provided during the year and immediate preceding year.

Other Financial Assets

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted.
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonable strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against US dollars as at March 31 would have affected the measurement offinancial instruments denominated in US dollars and affected equity and profit or loss by the amount shown below. This analysis assumes thatall other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
1% appreciation / depreciation of the respective foreign currencies with respect to functional currency of the Company would result in increase / decreasein the profit before taxes by approximately ' 1.78 Crores for the year ended March 31, 2025 (' 1.48 Crores for the year ended March 31, 2024)
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changesin fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/ borrowingsare measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearingborrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, change in interest rates at thereporting date would not affect profit or loss.
