Provisions are recognised when the Company has a presentobligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event. Itis probable that an outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If theeffect of the time value of money is material, provisions arediscounted using equivalent period government securities
interest rate. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in thestatement of profit and loss as a finance cost. Provisions arereviewed at each Balance Sheet date and are adjusted toreflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possibleobligation arising from past events, the existence of which willbe confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of oneor more uncertain future events not wholly within the control ofthe Company or a present obligation that arises from past eventswhere it is either not probable that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannotbe made. Information on contingent liability is disclosed in theNotes to the Standalone Financial Statements. Contingent assetsare not recognised in financial statement. However, when therealisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset isno longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amountis reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legallyenforceable rights to offset the recognised amounts and there isan intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settlethe liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable rights mustnot be contingent on future events and must be enforceablein the normal course of business and in the event of default,insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or counterparty.
The preparation of the Company’s Standalone FinancialStatements requires the management to make judgements,estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and theaccompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingentliabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimatescould result in outcomes that require a material adjustmentto the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected infuture periods.
"Property, plant and equipment/intangible assets aredepreciated/amortised over the estimated useful lives ofthe assets, after taking into account their estimated residualvalue. Management reviews the estimated useful lives andresidual values of the assets annually in order to determinethe amount of depreciation/ amortisation to be recordedduring any reporting period. The useful lives s as specifiedin Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and residual values
are based on the Company’s historical experience with similarassets and take into account anticipated technologicalchanges, whichever is more appropriate. The depreciation/amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significantchanges from previous estimates.
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period whenit becomes probable that there will be a future outflowof funds resulting from past operations or events and theamount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timingof recognition and quantification of the liability require theapplication of judgement to existing facts and circumstances,which can be subject to change. Since the cash outflows cantake place many years in the future, the carrying amounts ofprovisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised totake account of changing facts and circumstances.
The cost of post-employment benefits is determined using actuarialvaluations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptionsabout discount rates, future salary increases, expected rate ofreturn on assets and mortality rates. Due to the long term nature ofthese plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.
Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carryingamount of deferred tax assets. The factors used in estimatesmay differ from actual outcome which could lead to anadjustment to the amounts reported in the StandaloneFinancial Statements. Deferred tax assets are recognisedonly to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will beavailable against which the unused tax losses or tax credits canbe utilised. This involves an assessment of when those assetsare likely to reverse, and a judgement as to whether or not therewill be sufficient taxable profits available to offset the assets.This requires assumptions regarding future profitability, whichis inherently uncertain. To the extent assumptions regardingfuture profitability change, there can be an increase or decreasein the amounts recognised in respect of deferred tax assets andconsequential impact in the statement of profit and loss.
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability ofoverdue trade receivables and determining whether a provisionagainst those receivables is required. Factors consideredinclude the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount andtiming of anticipated future payments and any possible actionsthat can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is anindication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists,or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, theCompany estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’srecoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or Cash GeneratingUnits (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Itis determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does notgenerate cash inflows that are largely independent to those fromother assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an
asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is consideredimpaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows arediscounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount ratethat reflects current market assessments of the time value ofmoney and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair valueless cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken intoaccount. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriatevaluation model is used. These calculations are corroborated byvaluation multiples or other available fair value indicators.
The Fair Values of the properties are H 1,625.21 Lakhs (March 31, 2024: 2,898.00 Lakhs). This valuation is based on the valuationsperformed by an Registered Valuer. The main inputs used are the rental growth rates and a study of the micro market in discussion withindustry experts or local brokers and sales comparison method in which the sales instances of the similar properties or properties withsimilar attributes in the same region are traced and the market rates are derived by using the experience and expertise of the Valuer. Thefair value measurement for the investment property has been categorized as a level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuationtechniques used.
3.5 The Company has no restrictions on the realisability of its investment properties and no contractual obligations to purchase, constructor develop investment properties for repairs, maintenance and enhancement.

Details of Asset-Liability Matching Strategy:-
Gratuity benefits liabilities of the company are Funded. There are no minimum funding requirements for a Gratuity benefits plan in India and thereis no compulsion on the part of the Company to fully or partially pre-fund the liabilities under the Plan. The trustees of the plan have outsourced theinvestment management of the fund to insurance companies which are regulated by IRDA. Due to the restrictions in the type of investments thatcan be held by the fund, it may not be possible to explicitly follow an asset-liability matching strategy to manage risk actively in a conventional fund.
30.5 The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 5.00 years ( March 31, 2024 : 9.00 years).
The Company maintains procedures to value its financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available.
The Fair Values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the Fair Values:
i) Fair Value of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Bank Balances, Trade Receivable, Trade Payables, Current Loans, CurrentBorrowings, and Other Current Financial Assets and Liabilities are approximate at their carrying amounts largely due to the short¬term maturities of these instruments.
ii) The fair values of non-current borrowings and Margin money are approximate at their carrying amount due to interest bearingfeatures of these instruments.
iii) The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available tomeasure fair value maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques:-
i) Level 1 :- Quoted prices / published Net Assets Value (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. It includesfair value of financial instruments traded in active markets and are based on quoted market prices at the Balance Sheet date andfinancial instruments like mutual funds for which Net Assets Value is published by mutual fund operators at the Balance Sheet date.
ii) Level 2 :- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (thatis, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). It includes fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in anactive market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniquesmaximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the Company specific estimates. Ifall significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable then instrument is included in level 2.
iii) Level 3 :- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). If one or moreof the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The following table provides hierarchy of the fair value measurement of Company’s asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 (Quotedprices in active markets), Level 2 (Significant observable inputs) and Level 3 (Significant unobservable inputs) as described below:
