A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event,the Company has a present legal or constructiveobligation that can be estimated reliably, and it isprobable that an outflow of economic benefits willbe required to settle the obligation. Provisions aredetermined by discounting the expected futurecash flows (representing the best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle the present obligationat the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognised asfinance cost. Expected future operating losses arenot provided for. Provisions are reviewed by themanagement at each reporting date and adjustedto reflect the current best estimates.
A contract is considered to be onerous when theexpected economic benefits to be derived by theCompany from the contract are lower than theunavoidable cost of meeting its obligations underthe contract. The provision for an onerous contractis measured at the present value of the lower of theexpected cost of terminating the contract and theexpected net cost of continuing with the contract.Before such a provision is made, the Companyrecognises any impairment loss on the assetsassociated with that contract.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation thatarises from past events whose existence will beconfirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrenceof one or more uncertain future events beyond thecontrol of the Company or a present obligation thatis not recognised because it is not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settle theobligation, or a present obligation whose amountcannot be estimated reliably. The Company doesnot recognize a contingent liability but discloses itsexistence in the financial statements.
Revenues from customer's contracts areconsidered for recognition and measurementwhen the contract has been approved by theparties, in writing, to the contract, the partiesto contract are committed to perform theirrespective obligations under the contract, andthe contract is legally enforceable. Revenue isrecognized upon transfer of control of promisedproducts or services ("performance obligations”)
to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration the Company has receivedor expects to receive in exchange for theseproducts or services ("transaction price”). Whenthere is uncertainty as to collectability, revenuerecognition is postponed until such uncertaintyis resolved. Based on the assessment ofcontractual arrangements, there are no
discounts, rebates, incentives, or other forms ofvariable consideration applicable to the revenuerecognized during the reporting period.
Revenue from sale of licenses for
software products is recognised when thesignificant risks and rewards of ownershiphave been transferred to the buyer whichgenerally coincides with delivery oflicenses to the customers, recovery of theconsideration is probable, the associatedcosts and possible return of softwaresold can be estimated reliably, there isno continuing effective control over, ormanagerial involvement with the licensestransferred and the amount of revenue canbe measured reliably.
Revenue from services rendered isrecognized in proportion to the stageof completion of the transaction atthe reporting date. Efforts or costsexpended have been used to measureprogress towards completion as thereis a direct relationship between inputand productivity.
The revenue from fixed price contracts forsoftware implementation is recognizedbased on proportionate completionmethod based on hours expended, andforeseeable losses on the completion ofcontract, if any are recognized immediately.Efforts or costs expended have been usedto determine progress towards completionas there is a direct relationship betweeninput and productivity. Progress towardscompletion is measured as the ratio of costsor efforts incurred to date (representingwork performed) to the estimated totalcosts or efforts. Estimates of transactionprice and total costs or efforts arecontinuously monitored over the lives ofthe contracts and are recognized in profitor loss in the period when these estimateschange or when the estimates are revised.Revenues and the estimated total costs orefforts are subject to revision as the contractprogresses. Provisions for estimated losses,if any, on uncompleted contracts arerecorded in the period in which such lossesbecome probable based on the estimatedefforts or costs to complete the contract.
The Company is also involved in time andmaterial contracts and recognizes revenueas the services are performed.
Revenue from annual technical serviceand maintenance contracts is recognisedratably over the term of the underlyingmaintenance arrangement.
Software-as-a-service, that is, a right toaccess software functionality in a cloud-based-infrastructure provided by theCompany. Revenue from arrangementswhere the customer obtains a "right toaccess” is recognized over the access period.
Revenue from client training, support andother services arising due to the sale oflicense is recognized as the performanceobligations are satisfied.
Reimbursements of out-of-pocketexpenses received from customers havebeen netted off with expense.
Amounts received or billed in advanceof services to be performed are recordedas advance from customers/unearnedrevenue. Unbilled revenue representsamounts recognized based on servicesperformed in advance of billing inaccordance with contract terms.
iv. Multiple deliverable arrangements
When two or more revenue generatingactivities or deliverables are provided undera single arrangement, the Company hasapplied the guidance in Ind AS 115, Revenuefrom contract with customer, by applyingthe revenue recognition criteria for eachdistinct performance obligation. Thearrangements with customers generally
meet the criteria for considering licensefor software products and related servicesas distinct performance obligations.For allocating the transaction price, theCompany has measured the revenue inrespect of each performance obligation ofa contract at its relative standalone sellingprice. The price that is regularly charged foran item when sold separately is the bestevidence of its standalone selling price.In cases where the company is unable todetermine the standalone selling price,the company uses the expected costplus margin approach in estimating thestandalone selling price.
Arrangements to deliver software productsgenerally have three elements license,implementation and Annual TechnicalServices (ATS). The company has appliedthe principles under Ind AS 115 to accountfor revenues from these performanceobligations. When implementationservices are provided in conjunctionwith the licensing arrangement and thelicense and implementation have beenidentified as two separate performanceobligations, the transaction price forsuch contracts are allocated to eachperformance obligation of the contractbased on their relative standalone sellingprices. In the absence of standalone sellingprice for implementation, the performanceobligation is estimated using the expectedcost plus margin approach.
Deferred contract costs are incrementalcosts of obtaining a contract which arerecognized as assets and amortized overthe term of the contract.
Revenue from subsidiaries is recognisedbased on transaction price which isat arm's length.
Contract assets are recognised when thereis excess of revenue earned over billings oncontracts. A contract asset arises when thecompany has performed under a contractbut has not yet met the conditionsrequired to bill the customer. The right toreceive cash is conditional upon furtherperformance obligations.
Unearned and deferred revenue ("contractliability”) is recognised when there isbillings in excess of revenues.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due fromcustomers for sale of license or rendering ofservices in the ordinary course of business.They are generally due for settlement withinone year and therefore are all classified ascurrent. Where the settlement is due afterone year, they are classified as non-current.Trade receivables are disclosed in Note 11.
Impairment
An impairment is recognised to the extentthat the carrying amount of receivable orasset relating to contracts with customers(a) the remaining amount of considerationthat the Company expects to receive inexchange for sale of license or renderingof services to which such asset relates;less (b) the costs that relate directly toproviding those sale of license or renderingof services and that have not beenrecognised as expenses.
Dividend income is recognised in Statement of profitor loss on the date on which the Company's right toreceive payment is established.
Interest income or expense is recognised using theeffective interest method.
The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash paymentsor receipts through the expected life of thefinancial instrument to:
• the gross carrying amount of thefinancial asset; or
• the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, theeffective interest rate is applied to the gross carryingamount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability.However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interestincome is calculated by applying the effective interestrate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the
asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculationof interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Profit on sale of investments is recorded on transferof title from the Company and is determined as thedifference between the sales price and the carryingvalue of the investment
The Company as a lessee
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist ofleases for land and buildings. The Company assesseswhether a contract contains a lease, at inception ofa contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if thecontract conveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset for a period of time in exchange forconsideration. To assess whether a contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset, theCompany assesses whether: (1) the contract involvesthe use of an identified asset (2) the Company hassubstantially all of the economic benefits from use ofthe asset through the period of the lease and (3) theCompany has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, theCompany recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU”)and a corresponding lease liability for all leasearrangements in which it is a lessee, except forleases with a term of twelve months or less (short¬term leases) and low value leases. For these short¬term and low value leases, the Company recognizesthe lease payments as an operating expense on astraight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes the optionsto extend or terminate the lease before the endof the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilitiesincludes these options when it is reasonably certainthat they will be exercised. In assessing whether theCompany is reasonably certain to exercise an optionto extend a lease, or not to exercise an option toterminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts andcircumstances that create an economic incentive forthe Company to exercise the option to extend thelease, or not to exercise the option to terminate thelease. The Company revises the lease term if there isa change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized atcost, which comprises the initial amount of the leaseliability adjusted for any lease payments made at orprior to the commencement date of the lease plusany initial direct costs less any lease incentives. Theyare subsequently measured at cost less accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from thecommencement date on a straight-line basis overthe shorter of the lease term and useful life of theunderlying asset.
Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverabilitywhenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate that their carrying amounts may not berecoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing,the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of thefair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) isdetermined on an individual asset basis unless theasset does not generate cash flows that are largelyindependent of those from other assets. In such cases,the recoverable amount is determined for the CashGenerating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortizedcost at the present value of the future leasepayments. The lease payments are discounted usingthe interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readilydeterminable, using the incremental borrowingrates in the country of domicile of these leases. Leaseliabilities are remeasured with a correspondingadjustment to the related right of use asset if theCompany changes its assessment if whether it willexercise an extension or a termination option. Thediscount rate is generally based on the incrementalborrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluatedor for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separatelypresented in the Balance Sheet and lease paymentshave been classified as financing cash flows.
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It isrecognised in profit or loss except to the extent thatit relates to an item recognised directly in equity or inother comprehensive income.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payableor receivable on the taxable income or loss forthe year and any adjustment to the tax payable
or receivable in respect of previous years. Theamount of current tax reflects the best estimateof the tax amount expected to be paid orreceived after considering the uncertainty, if any,related to income taxes. It is measured using taxrates (and tax laws) enacted or substantivelyenacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilitiesare offset only if there is a legally enforceableright to set off the recognised amounts, and itis intended to realise the asset and settle theliability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect oftemporary differences between the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities for financialreporting purposes and the correspondingamounts used for taxation purposes. Deferredtax is also recognised in respect of carriedforward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred taxis not recognised for:
• temporary differences arising on theinitial recognition of assets or liabilitiesin a transaction that is not a businesscombination and that affects neitheraccounting nor taxable profit or loss at thetime of the transaction;
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extentthat it is probable that future taxable profitswill be available against which they can beused. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised orrecognised, are reviewed at each reporting dateand are recognised/ reduced to the extent thatit is probable/ no longer probable respectivelythat the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that areexpected to apply to the period when the assetis realised or the liability is settled, based on thelaws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects thetax consequences that would follow from themanner in which the Company expects, at thereporting date, to recover or settle the carryingamount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset ifthere is a legally enforceable right to offset tax
liabilities and assets, and they relate to incometaxes levied by the same tax authority on thesame taxable entity, or on different tax entities,but they intend to settle current tax liabilitiesand assets on a net basis or their tax assets andliabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Minimum Alternative Tax ('MAT') under theprovisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 isrecognised as tax in the Statement of Profitand Loss. The credit available under the Act inrespect of MAT paid is recognised as an assetonly when and to the extent there is convincingevidence that the company will pay normalincome tax during the period for which the MATcredit can be carried forward for set-off againstthe normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised asan asset is reviewed at each balance sheet dateand written down to the extent the aforesaidconvincing evidence no longer exists.
Cash and short-term deposits in the Balance Sheetcomprise cash at banks and cash in hand and short¬term deposits with an original maturity of threemonths or less, which are subject to insignificant riskof changes in value.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrumentfails to meet its contractual obligations and arises partially from the Company's receivables from customers,loans and investment in debt securities. The carrying amount of financial assets represent the maximumcredit risk exposure. The Company has credit policies in place and the exposures to these credit risks aremonitored on an ongoing basis.
To cater to the credit risk for investments in mutual funds and bonds, only high rated mutual funds/bonds are accepted.
The Company has given security deposits to vendors for rental deposits for office properties, securing servicesfrom them, government departments. The Company does not expect any default from these parties andaccordingly the risk of default is negligible or nil.
Trade receivables and contract assets are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned fromcustomers primarily located in India, USA, EMEA and APAC.
Credit risk has always been managed by the Company through credit approval, establishing credit limits andcontinuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit term innormal course of business. Credit limits are established for each customers and received quarterly.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect oftrade receivables.

In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according totheir credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or legal entity, industry and existence ofprevious financial difficulties, if any.
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base,including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respectof trade and other receivables. The management establishes an allowance for impairment that represents itsestimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables. An impairment analysis is performed ateach reporting date.
For movement of loss allowance on contract assets refer note 16A
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of defaultand expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting theinputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history, existing market conditions as wellas forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing only in liquid debt securities and only withcounterparties that have a credit rating AA to AAA from renowned rating agencies.
The Company monitors changes in credit risk by tracking published external credit ratings. For its investmentin bonds, Company also reviews changes in government bond yields together with available press andregulatory information about issuers

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equityprices - will affect the company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market riskis attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables andpayables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk,interest rate risk and the market value of our investments. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function ofinvesting and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. Theobjective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because ofchanges in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its receivables andother payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Managementendeavours to minimize economic and transactional exposures arising from currency movements against theUS Dollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound, Canadian dollar, United Arab Emirates Dhiram, Saudi Riyal, Singaporedollar, Australian dollar and Malaysian Ringgit making all the US dollar payments through EEFC account foravoiding exchange risk.

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate riskis the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interestrates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments willfluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
The Company is exposed to both fair value interest rate risk as well as cash flow interest rate risk arising bothon short-term and long-term floating rate instruments.
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments
The Company accounts for investments in government and other bonds as fair value through othercomprehensive income. Therefore, a change in interest rate at the reporting date would have impact on equity.
A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased(decreased) equity by INR 42.41 lakhs after tax (31 March 2024: INR 39.81 lakhs) and PBT by INR 65.19 lakhs (31March 2024: INR 61.19 lakhs).
There is no variable rate linked instrument and therefore, there is no cash flow sensitivity.
