Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that companies report information about their operating segments andrelated disclosures, as applicable about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Based onthe "management approach" as defined in Ind AS 108, the management evaluates the Company's performance andallocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographicalsegments. Accordingly, information has been presented as per business segments. The accounting principles usedin the preparation of the standalone financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditurein individual segments, and are as set out in the significant accounting policies. Revenue and identifiable operatingexpenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment.Certain expenses such as depreciation and finance cost, which form a significant component of total expenses, are notspecifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. Management believesthat it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those expenses, and accordingly these expenses areseparately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the operating income of the Company. Operating segmentsare defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularlyby the decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company decision makeris the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has identified business segments as reportable segments. Accordingly,Semiconductor and Software & System Design have been disclosed as business segments.

I n accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian companies, the Company operates ascheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan is partially funded
The Company operates a defined benefit final salary gratuity plan which is open to new entrants. The gratuitybenefits payable to the employees are based on the employee's service and last drawn salary at the time ofleaving. The employees do not contribute towards this plan and the full cost of providing these benefits are met bythe Company.
There are no minimum funding requirements for a gratuity plan in India. The trustees of the gratuity fundhave a fiduciary responsibility to act according to the provisions of the trust deed and rules. Since the fund isincome tax approved, the Company and the trustees have to ensure that they are at all times fully compliantwith the relevant provisions of the income tax and rules. Besides this if the Company is covered by the Paymentof Gratuity Act, 1972 then the Company is bound to pay the statutory minimum gratuity as prescribed underthis Act.
The Company has setup an income tax approved irrevocable trust fund to finance the plan liability. The trustees
of the trust fund are responsible for the overall governance of the plan.
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework
which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit which
are as follows:
(a) Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the rise of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates willresult in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increasein the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
(b) Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term Benefit payouts. This mayarise due to non availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquidassets not being sold in time.
(c) Salary escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption ofsalary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future forplan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation willhave a bearing on the plan's liability.
(d) Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of theliability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to theassumption.\
(e) Regulatory Risk: Benefit is paid in accordance with the Provisions of Gratuity Act 1972 (as may be amendedfrom time to time). There is a risk of change in provisions of Gratuity Act requiring higher Plan Benefit payouts (e.g. change in benefit formula).
(f) Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration ofassets, exposing the Company to market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.
(g) Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on anyparticular investment.
The Employee Stock Option Plans are designed to provide incentives to employees to deliver long-term returns.Participation in the plan is at the Board's discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the planor to receive any guaranteed benefits.
The Company has established Nine schemes i.e., Employee Stock Option Plan, MosChip Stock Option Plan 2005 (MI),MosChip Stock Option Plan 2005 (WOS), MosChip Stock Option Plan 2008, MosChip Stock Option Plan 2008(ALR), MosChipStock Option Plan 2008(Director), MosChip Stock Option Plan 2018, MosChip Stock Option Plan 2022 and MosChip StockOption Plan 2024 with 600,000 equity shares, 500,000 equity shares, 500,000 equity shares, 3,000,000 equity shares,1,000,000 equity shares, 1,000,000 equity shares 10,000,000 equity shares, 10,000,000 equity shares, 15,000,000 equityshares respectively.
Out of above plans the Company has granted options during the year ended 31st March 2025 in Moschip Stock OptionPlan 2018, Moschip Stock Option Plan 2022 and MosChip Stock Option Plan 2024.
Once vested, the options remain exercisable for a period of three / four years. When exercisable, each option is convertibleinto one equity share. The exercise price of the options is based on the previous day closing rate on which options aregranted which the Company's shares are traded on the stock exchange during the previous day.
Set out below is a summary of options granted under the plan:
The fair value of services received in return for stock options granted to employees is measured by reference to the fairvalue of stock options granted. The fair value of stock options granted under various schemes have been measured usingthe Black-Scholes-Merton model at the date of the grant.
The Black-Scholes-Merton model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected termsand risk free interest rates. In respect of par value options granted, the expected term of an option (or "option life") isestimated based on the vesting term and contractual term, as well as the expected exercise behaviour of the employeesreceiving the option. In respect of fair market value options granted, the option life is estimated based on the simplifiedmethod. Expected volatility of the option is based on historical volatility, during a period equivalent to the option life, ofthe observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares. Dividend yield of the options is based onrecent dividend activity. Risk-free interest rates are based on the government securities yield in effect at the time ofthe grant. These assumptions reflect management's best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent marketuncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company's control. As a result, if other assumptionshad 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 materiallyimpacted in future years.
The estimated fair value of stock options is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basisover the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance,multiple awards.
As of 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024, there was ^5,382.93 lakhs and ^2,014.12 lakhs respectively of total unrecognisedcompensation cost related to unvested stock options this cost is expected to be recognised over a weighted averageperiod of 29.35 months and 28.70 months, respectively.
39 Financial risk management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's riskmanagement framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risksfaced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Riskmanagement policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions.
(a) Financial instruments by category
The carrying value and fair value of financial instruments by categories is as follows:
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management overseesthe management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks,which are summarized below.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesin market prices. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and refundable deposits.The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024. Thesensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt and the interest rates of the debt.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and otherpost retirement obligations; provisions.
The below assumption has been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. Thisis based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relatesprimarily to the Company's debt obligations with interest rates.
If interest rates had been 1 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's profitfor the year ended March 31, 2025 would decrease/(increase) by fNil lakhs (31st March 2024: decrease/increase byf29.15 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according tothe contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk ofdeterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risk. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limitsand creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtainingnecessary approvals for credit.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks andfinancial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to creditrisk was ^12,481.89 and ^11,027.52 as of 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024 respectively, being the total of the carryingamount of trade receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balance with banks, loans and otherfinancial assets.
Ind AS requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company assesses at eachBalance Sheet date whether a financial asset or a Company of financial assets is impaired.
The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivablesbased on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjustedfor forward-looking information.
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity riskmanagement is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements.The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowingfacilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles offinancial assets and liabilities.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalent is limited as the Company generally transacts with banks with high creditratings assigned by credit rating agencies.
Trade receivable - The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic ofeach customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. Exposure to customers is diversified andthere is a single customer contributing more than 10% of outstanding trade receivables and unbilled revenues.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit, representing the lowest levelwithin the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and which is not higher than theCompany's operating segment.
The recoverable amounts of the above cash generating units have been assessed using a value-in-use model. Value-in¬use is generally calculated as the net present value of the projected post-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cashgenerating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially, a discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value ofthe post-tax cash flows. Key assumptions upon which the Company has based its determinations of value-in-use include:
a) The values assigned to the assumption reflect past experience and are consistent with the management's plansfor focusing operations in these markets. The management believe that the planned market share growth per yearfor the next flve years is reasonably achievable.
b) Average gross margins achieved in the period immediately before the budget margin period, increased for expectedefficiency improvements. This reflects past experience, except for efficiency improvements.
c) A terminal value arrived at by extrapolating the last forecasted year cash flows to perpetuity, using a constant long¬term growth rate. This long-term growth rate takes into consideration external macroeconomic sources of data.Such long-term growth rate considered does not exceed that of the relevant business and industry sector.
d) The after tax discount rates used are based on the Company's weighted average cost of capital.
e) The after tax discount rates used for various cash generating units.
The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which a recoverable amountis based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash¬generating unit.
The Company has decided to opt for taxation under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (""Act""), which providesfor a concessional tax rate of 22% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), subject to the condition that the Companyforegoes specified exemptions and deductions. As per Section 115JB(5A), the provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax (mat)under Section 115JB shall not apply to a company that exercises the option under Section 115BAA. Accordingly, theCompany has decided to opt for Section 115BAA, hence current tax (mat) is not applicable for the current financial year.The Company has brought forward unabsorbed depreciation amounting to ^4,991.32 lakhs (as at 31st March 24 ^5,343,54lakhs) under the Income tax Act, 1961, for which there is no time limit for tax utilisation. Further, the Company also hascarried forward losses aggregating to ^1,386.14 lakhs (as at 31st March 2024 ^4,26749 lakhs) under the Income tax Act,1961 which gets expired within 8 years of the respective years, The carried forward losses will get expired mainly duringthe years 2030 to 2031.
