4.14 Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

Provisions are reviewed and adjusted, when required, to reflect the current best estimate at the end of each
reporting period.

The Company recognizes decommissioning provisions in the period in which a legal or constructive obligation
is incurred. A corresponding decommissioning cost is added to the carrying amount of the associated
property, plant and equipment, and it is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.

4.15 Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:

• A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will
be required to settle the obligation;

• A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;

• A possible obligation arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company where the
probability of outflow of resources is not remote.

4.16 Contingent Assets

Contingent assets are not recognized but disclosed in the Financial Statements when an inflow of economic
benefits is probable.

4.17 Fair Value Measurements

Company follows the hierarchy mentioned underneath for determining fair values of its financial instruments:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the
reporting dates. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from
an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices
represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The fair value
for these instruments is determined using Level 1 inputs.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over the
counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize
the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific
estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is
fair valued using level 2 inputs.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is fair
valued using Level 3 inputs. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

• The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash
flows based on observable yield curves.

• The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the
reporting dates, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.

• Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the
remaining financial instruments.

4.18 Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from providing Financial Inclusion Services to Banks and Financial
Institutions (“Customers”). Revenue is recognized when Company satisfies a performance obligation on the
basis of approved contracts (“Business Correspondent Agreements”) regarding provision of services to a
customer.

The Company also derives revenue from sale of goods and related support services to its customers.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services in an amount that reflect
the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange of those products and related services.

The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price. The transaction price
is based upon the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised
goods and services to the customer.

4.19 Other Income
Interest Income

For all debt instruments measured either at amortized cost or at FVTOCI, interest income is recorded using
the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments
or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the
gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. When calculating
the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual
terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not
consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.

Interest income on fixed deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount
outstanding and the applicable interest rate.

Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognized at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally
when the shareholders approve the dividend.

4.20 Foreign currency transactions
Functional and Presentation Currency

The Financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR/?) which is also the functional and presentation
currency of the Company.

Transaction and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company, at exchange
rates in effect at the transaction date. At each reporting date monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the Financial Statement.
The translation for other non-monetary assets and liabilities are not updated from historical exchange rates
unless they are carried at fair value.

4.21 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to
take into account, the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential equity shares and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been
outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

4.22 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified and reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting
provided to the chief operating decision makers, responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments.

4.23 Events after Reporting Date:

Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the
end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the Financial Statements. Non

the Financial Statements.

buyer against the intended sale of Property Plant and Equipment and its related software. Clearance from the
Excise and Custom Department were pending and therefore the Company had not concluded the formalities

reclassification, the Property, Plant and Equipment along with its related computer software had been measured

exceptional item in the Statement of Profit and Loss. During the current year ended 31st March 2025, the sale

requirements of the business on the basis of the carrying amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as
presented on the face of the Balance Sheet. Management assesses the Company's capital requirements in order
to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. This takes into account the
subordination levels of the Company's various classes of debt. The Company manages the capital structure and
makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying
assets.

38 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Financial Risk Management Framework

Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of borrowings, trade payables and Other financial liabilities.
The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal
financial assets include Trade receivables, loans, Investments, cash and bank balances and other financial assets.

Risk Exposures and Responses

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews policies for
managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a
change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of
changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other
market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk
sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables
and borrowing.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has constantly monitors for credit markets and
rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost. Interest rate
risk is managed by the Company on an on-going basis with the primary objective of limiting the extent to
which interest expense could be affected by an adverse movement in interest rates. There are no hedging
instruments to mitigate this risk. The Company is not exposed to any risk of changes in market interest rates
as there are no borrowings availed by the Company during the year and as on 31st March 2025 with floating
rate of interest. The Company has availed the vehicle loan from bank/FI with fixed rate of interest during the
year.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instruments will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not exposed to material foreign exchange
risk arising from transactions i.e. imports of materials, recognised liabilities denominated in a currency that is
not the Company's functional currency. The Company's foreign currency risks are identified, measured and
managed at periodic intervals in accordance with the Company's policies.

ii. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the customer or that counterparty to the financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's receivables
from customers, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit
limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit
terms in the normal course of business.

Credit risk management

The finance function of the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating
system. Internal credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics.
The Company assesses the credit risk for each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs
and factors specific to the class of financial assets.

The risk parameters are same for all financial assets for all periods presented. The Company considers
the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk on an on-going basis throughout each reporting period. In general, it is presumed that credit
risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 30 days past due . A
default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments when they fall due.
This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and
other macro-economic factors.

Trade Receivables: The Company has exposure to credit risk from trade receivables on financial inclusion
services to banks and sale of traded goods. The Company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model for
assessing the impairment loss. For that purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the
expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal risk factors and
historical data of credit losses from various customers. The Company ensures concentration of credit does
not significantly impair the financial assets since the customers to whom the exposure of credit is given
are well established and reputed industries and banks engaged in their respective field of business. The
creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit in the normal course of the business is
monitored regularly. The Company provides for expected credit loss under simplified approach.

iii. 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 its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risk to the Company's reputation. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient
cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed
credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the business, the Company maintains
flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed facilities. The Company's treasury team
is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies
related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company's liquidity
position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities at the
end of the reporting period, which are based on the contractual undiscounted cash flows and the earliest date
the Company is required to pay:

39 Fair value measurements

(i) Fair value hierarchy

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the financial statement are grouped into
three Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability of significant
inputs to the measurement, as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Valuation Process and Technique Used to Determine Fair Value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

(a) The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

(b) The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined based on the following methods:

i. Net assets value method

ii. Valuation of investment in unquoted equity shares has been made using the Discounted cash-flow
method and Net assets value method, as deemed fit by the Company's management.

Risk adjustments specific to the counterparties (including assumptions about credit default rates) are derived
from credit risk grading determined by the Company's internal credit risk management group.
