2.15 Provisions and contingent liabilitiesProvision
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and amount of theobligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at theBalance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected futurecash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of theCompany or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.16 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the financial year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during theperiod and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity sharesthat have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share, adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the afterincome tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and the weighted averagenumber of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.17 Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement ofSchedule III, unless otherwise stated.
2(B) Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates. Management also needs to exercise judgement inapplying the Company’s accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgementor complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to bedifferent than those originally assessed. The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
a) Estimation of Provisions & Contingent Liabilities
The Company exercises judgement in measuring and recognising provisions and the exposures to contingent liabilities which is relatedto pending litigation or other outstanding claims. If a loss arising from these litigations and/or claims is probable and can bereasonably estimated, the management record the amount of the estimated loss. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable,the management discloses the nature of the significant contingency and, if quantifiable, the possible loss that could result from theresolution of the matter. As additional information becomes available, the management reassess any potential liability related to theselitigations and claims and may need to revise the estimates. Such revisions or ultimate resolution of these matters could materiallyimpact the results of operations, cash flows or financial statements of the company. (Refer Note 25)
iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fairvalued through statement of profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measuredat an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets,credit risk is considered to be low.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, whichrequires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. As a practical expedient, the companyuses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historicallyobserved default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. The ECL lossallowance (or reversal) during the year is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
iv) De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when:
- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cashflows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantiallyall risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financialasset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retainscontrol of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
v) T rade Receivable
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod, less provision for impairment.
Financial Liabilities
i) Classification
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with thesubstance of the contractual arrangements and the definition of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
ii) Measurement
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, reduced by transaction costs (in case of financial liability not at fair valuethrough statement of profit or loss), that are directly attributable to the issue of financial liability. After initial recognition, financialliabilities are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discountsestimated future cash outflow (including all fees paid, transaction cost, and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life ofthe financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. At the time of initialrecognition, there is no financial liability irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through statement of profit or loss.
iii) Derecognition:
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existingfinancial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability aresubstantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of anew liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
iv) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured atamortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised instatement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Thedifference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and theconsideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in statement of profit or loss.
The company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sumpayments to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, as per the company’s policy. Vestingoccurs on completion of 5 continuous years of service as per Indian law. However, no vesting condition applies in case of death. Thegratuity payable to employees is based on the employee’s service and last drawn salary at the time of leaving the services of the Company.The gratuity plan is an unfunded plan.
iv) Risk Exposure
The Gratuity scheme is a final salary Defined Benefit Plan that provides for a lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement,death, disability or voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sumat exit. The risks commonly affecting the defined benefit plan are expected to be:
Demographic Risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal,disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon thecombination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financialanalysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.
Salary Inflation Risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation
Interest-Rate Risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the
defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values aredisclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accountingstandard. An explanation of each level is as follows.
Level 1 : Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specificestimates. If all 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 level 3.iii) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
The carrying amounts of Investments, deposits with banks and interest there on, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans to employees, borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities are considered to bethe same as their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The fair values of security deposits and other advances are based on discounted cash flows. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk. Fairvalue of the security deposit and other advances are considered to be the same as their carring value.
37 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on itsfinancial performance. The market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk and interest rate. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer end.
37ACREDIT RISK
Credit risk comprises of direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. It mainly arises from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash on hand) and bank deposits.
(i) Credit risk management
a) Trade receivables
The carrying amount of trade receivables represent the maximum credit exposure net of provision for impairment. The maximum exposure to credit risk was Rs. 4,401.39 lakhs as of March 31, 2024 ( March 31, 2023 : Rs. 4,159.56lakhs).
Trade receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit risk for trade receivable is managed by the company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and periodic monitoring of the creditworthiness of itscustomers to which the company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company’s credit period generally ranges from 90-120 days.
The company does not have a high concentration of credit risk to a single customer. Single largest customer have the total exposure in receivables Rs. 321.88 lakhs as of March 31, 2024 (March 31, 2023 : Rs. 307.42 lakhs).
As per simplified approach, the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account a continuing credit evaluation of company's customers’financial condition; aging of trade accounts receivable and the company's historical loss experience. The company defines default as an event when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The company has not made anyprovision for loss allowance in any of the years presented.
Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
b) Cash & cash equivalent and bank deposits
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is generally low as the said deposits have been made with banks having good reputation, good past track record and high quality credit rating and company also reviewstheir credit-worthiness on an on-going basis.
c) Other financial assets
Credit risk on other financial assets is generrally considered to be low
37B MARKET RISK
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises on financial instruments being denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the entity and that are monetary in nature. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk mainly arisingfrom Trade Payables denominated in United States Dollar (‘USD’) and European Union Currency (‘EURO’) and Trade receivables in United States Dollar (‘USD’).
37C LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities(comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below), by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The liquidity risk is managed by means of the ultimate parent company's Liquidity and Financial Indebtedness Management Policy, which aims to ensure the availability of sufficient net funds to meet the Company’s financialcommitments with minimal additional cost. One of the main liquidity monitoring measurement instruments is the cash flow projection, using a minimum projection period of 12 months from the benchmark date.
|i| Financing arrangements
The Company has undrawn borrowing facilities of Rs. 137.24 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 (Rs. 49.63 lakhs as at March 31, 2024) which is renewable on yearly basis by mutual consent. Undrawn credit facilities comprises of fundbased and non-fund based.pi) Maturities of financial liabilities
39 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to providereturns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capitalstructure of the Company, management can make, or may propose to the stockholders when their approval is required, adjustments to theamount of dividends paid to stockholders, return capital to stockholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce, for example, debt.
The Company considers total equity reported in the financial statements to be managed as part of capital.
The Company does not have any borrowing which is subject to the capital requirements.
Transition to New Standards
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of less than orequal to 12 months with no purchase option and assets with low value leases. The Company recognises the lease payments associated withthese leases as an expense in statement of profit and loss over the lease term. The related cash flows are classified as operating activities.
42 EXPENDITURE TOWARDS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
