Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be madeof the amount of the obligation. When the Companyexpects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed,the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset,but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.The expense relating to a provision is presented in thestatement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and areadjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate
that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to theliability. When discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognised as afinance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there isa possible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly with in the control of theCompany or a present obligation that arises from pastevents where it is either not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle, or reliable estimateof the amount cannot be made. Therefore, in order todetermine the amount to be recognised as a liability orto be disclosed as a contingent liability, in each case, isinherently subjective, and needs careful evaluation andjudgement to be applied by the management. In case ofprovision for litigations, the judgements involved are withrespect to the potential exposure of each litigation andthe likelihood and/or timing of cash outflows from theCompany and requires interpretation of laws and pastlegal rulings.
Possible inflows of economic benefits to the Companythat do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an assetare considered contingent assets.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control ofpromised goods to customers in an amount that reflectsthe consideration which the Company expects toreceive in exchange for those goods.
To determine whether to recognize revenue, theCompany follows a 5-step process:
1. Identifying the contract with a customer.
2. Identifying the performance obligations.
3. Determining the transaction price.
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performanceobligations.
5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s)are satisfied.
The Company recognised revenue from sale of goodsmeasured upon satisfaction of performance obligationwhich is at a point in time when control is transferred tothe customer which is usually on shipment / dispatch.Depending on the terms of the contract, which differs
from contract to contract, the goods are sold on areasonable credit term.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price,which is the consideration, adjusted for discount,scheme allowances and returns, if any, as specified in thecontracts with the customers. Revenue excludes taxescollected from customers on behalf of the government.
A receivable is recognised where the Company's rightto consideration is unconditional. When either partyto a contract has performed, an entity shall presentthe contract in the balance sheet as contract asset orcontract liability, depending on the relationship betweenthe entity's performance and the customer's payment.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized whenit is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theCompany and the amount of income can be measuredreliably. Interest is accrued on time proportion basis, byreference to the principle outstanding at the effectiveinterest rate.
All other income is recognized on accrual basis when nosignificant uncertainty exists on their receipt.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded atthe exchange rates prevailing on the date of thetransactions. Gains and losses arising out of subsequentfluctuations are accounted for on actual payments orrealisations, as the case may be. Monetary assets andliabilities denominated in foreign currency as on balancesheet date are translated into functional currency at theexchange rates prevailing on that date and exchangedifferences arising out of such conversion are recognisedin the statement of profit and loss.
Income tax expense for the year comprises of currenttax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statementof Profit and Loss except to the extent it relates to anybusiness combination or to an item which is recogniseddirectly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measuredat the amount expected to be recovered from or paid tothe tax authorities in accordance with the Indian IncomeTax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute
the amount are those that are enacted or substantivelyenacted at the reporting date in the countries where theCompany operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outsideprofit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either inother comprehensive income or in equity) are recognisedin correlation to the underlying transaction either inOCI or directly in equity. Management periodicallyevaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respectto situations in which applicable tax regulations aresubject to interpretation and establishes provisionswhere appropriate. The Company offsets current taxassets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legallyenforceable right to set off the recognised amounts andwhere it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realisethe asset and liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method ontemporary differences between the tax bases of assetsand liabilities and their carrying amounts for financialreporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductibletemporary differences, the carry forward of unused taxcredits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets arerecognized to the extent that it is probable that taxableprofit will be available against which the deductibletemporary differences, and the carry forward of unusedtax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewedat each reporting date and reduced to the extent thatit is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit willbe available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assetto be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re¬assessed at each reporting date and are recognizedto the extent that it has become probable that futuretaxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to berecovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at thetax rates that are expected to apply in the year whenthe asset is realized or the liability is settled, based ontax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outsidestatement of profit or loss is recognized outside statementof profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized incorrelation to the underlying transaction either in OCI ordirectly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offsetif a legally enforceable right exists to set off current taxassets against current tax liabilities and the deferredtaxes relate to the same taxable entity and the sametaxation authority.
i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measuredon an undiscounted basis and are expensed as therelated service is provided. A liability is recognised forthe amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-termcash bonus, if the Company has a present legal orconstructive obligation to pay this amount as a result ofpast service provided by the employee, and the amountof obligation can be estimated reliably.
Employee benefit in the form of provident fund is adefined contribution scheme. The Company has noobligation, other than the contribution payable to theprovident fund. The Company recognizes contributionpayable to the provident fund scheme as an expense,when an employee renders the related service. If thecontribution payable to the scheme for service receivedbefore the balance sheet date exceeds the contributionalready paid, the deficit payable to the scheme isrecognized as a liability after deducting the contributionalready paid. If the contribution already paid exceedsthe contribution due for services received before thebalance sheet date, then excess is recognized as anasset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, forexample, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefitplan is determined using the projected unit creditmethod.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability,which comprise actuarial gains and losses, arerecognised in OCI. The Company determines the netinterest expense/(income) on the net defined benefitliability or the period by applying the discount rateused to measure the defined benefit obligation at thebeginning of the annual period to the then net definedbenefit liability, taking into account any changes in thenet defined benefit liability during the period as a resultof benefit payments.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on theearlier of:
• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
• The date that the Company recognises relatedrestructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discountrate to the net defined benefit liability. The Companyrecognises the following changes in the net definedbenefit obligation as an expense in the standalonestatement of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non¬routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income.
Entitlements to annual leave are recognised when theyaccrue to employees. Leave entitlements may be availedwhile in service or encashed at the time of retirement/termination of employment, subject to a restriction onthe maximum number of accumulation.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividingthe profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders of the Company by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share are computed and disclosedafter adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equityshares, if any, except when the results will be anti-d ilutive.
The Company assesses at contract inception whether acontract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contractconveys the right to control the use of an identified assetfor a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition andmeasurement approach for all leases, except forshort-term leases and leases of low-value assets. TheCompany recognises lease liabilities to make leasepayments and right-of-use assets representing the rightto use the underlying assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at thecommencement date of the lease (i.e., the date theunderlying asset is available for use). Right-of-useassets are measured at cost, less any accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for anyremeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-useassets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised,initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments madeat or before the commencement date less any leaseincentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciatedon a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease termand the estimated useful lives of the assets.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Companyrecognises lease liabilities measured at the present valueof lease payments to be made over the lease term. Thelease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments) less any lease incentivesreceivable, variable lease payments that depend onan index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paidunder residual value guarantees. The lease paymentsalso include the exercise price of a purchase optionreasonably certain to be exercised by the Company andpayments of penalties for terminating the lease, if thelease term reflects the Company exercising the option toterminate. Variable lease payments that do not dependon an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unlessthey are incurred to produce inventories) in the period inwhich the event or condition that triggers the paymentoccurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments,the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate atthe lease commencement date because the interestrate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.After the commencement date, the amount of leaseliabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interestand reduced for the lease payments made. In addition,the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasuredif there is a modification, a change in the lease term, achange in the lease payments (e.g., changes to futurepayments resulting from a change in an index or rateused to determine such lease payments) or a change inthe assessment of an option to purchase the underlyingasset.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognitionexemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases
that have a lease term of 12 months or less from thecommencement date and do not contain a purchaseoption). Lease payments on short-term leases arerecognised as expense on a straight-line basis over thelease term.

d. The quarterly statements of current assets filed by the Company with banks and financial statements are in agreement withthe books of accounts. The auditors have relied on the information provided by the management of the Company.
e. There are no charges or satisfaction yet to be registered with ROC beyond the statutory period.
f. The Company has not defaulted in repayment of dues during the current financial year.Also terms of the loans were notrenegotiated.
g. The Company is required to comply with certain debt covenants as mentioned in the loan agreement for working capitalloans and cash credit facilities, failure of which makes the loan to be repaid on demand at the discretion of the bank. Duringthe year, there has been no breach in the financial covenants of current borrowings obtained from two bank.
An amount of ? 1.15 Crores [31 March 2024: ? 1.13 crorers] for the year has been recognised as an expense in respect of theCompany's contributions towards Provident Fund and an amount of ? 0.01 crorers [31 March 2024: ? 0.03 crores] for the yearhas been recognised as an expense in respect of Company's contributions towards Employee State Insurance which are depositedwith the government authorities and have been included under employee benefit expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Company has a definedbenefit gratuity plan. Under the gratuity plan, every employee who has completed at least five years of service gets a gratuity ondeparture at 15 days of last drawn salary for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months subject to amaximum of ? 0.02 crores. The scheme is unfunded.
The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefitobligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.
The above defined benefit plan exposes the Company to following risks:
The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefitobligation will tend to increase.
Expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disabilityand 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 thefinancial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long serviceemployee.
(G) (i) The transactions with related parties are made in the ordinary course of business and on terms equivalent to those
that prevail in arm's length transactions.

The Company seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings andthe advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The primary objective of the Company's capital managementis to maximise the shareholder value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meetsfinancial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches inmeeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 March 2025 and31 March 2024.
The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprises of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose ofthese financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include investments inequity shares, loans to related party, trade and other receivables, security deposits, cash and short-term deposits that are deriveddirectly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's senior management oversees the managementof these risks and advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The boardprovides assurance to the shareholders that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies andprocedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and riskobjectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading toa financial loss. The Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk from its operating activities (except trade receivables),including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or a litigationdecided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts toenforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Trade receivables are generally unsecured and non-interestbearing. There is no significant concentration of credit risk.The Company's credit risk management policy in relation totrade receivables involves periodically assessing the financialreliability of customers, taking into account their financialposition, past experience and other factors. The utilization ofcredit limit is regularly monitored and a significant elementof credit risk is covered by credit insurance. The Company'scredit risk is mainly confined to the risk of customers defaultingagainst credit sales made. Outstanding trade receivables areregularly monitored by credit monitoring Company. In respectof trade receivables, the Company recognises a provision forlifetime expected credit losses after evaluating the individualprobabilities of default of its customers which are duly based onthe inputs received from the marketing teams of the Company.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as theCompany generally invest in deposits with banks and financialinstitutions with high credit ratings assigned by internationaland domestic credit rating agencies. The Company limits itsexposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securitiesand only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. Inrespect of above, the Company has not recognized any loss incurrent year and in previous year on account of credit risk. TheCompany does not expect any losses from non-performanceby these counterparties, and does not have any significantconcentration of exposures to specific industry sectors orspecific country risk.
Loans are measured at amortised cost includes loans givento subsidiaries. Credit risk related to these financial assets is
managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amountscontinuously, while at the same time internal control system arein place to ensure the amounts are within defined limits. Creditrisk is considered low because the Company is in possession ofthe underlying asset and these are given to related parties. Inrespect of above, the Company has not recognized any loss incurrent year and in previous year on account of credit risk. TheCompany does not expect any loss.
Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includessecurity deposits and other receivables. Credit risk relatedto these financial assets is managed by monitoring therecoverability of such amounts continuously, while at thesame time internal control system are in place to ensure theamounts are within defined limits. Credit risk is consideredlow because the Company is in possession of the underlyingasset (in case of security deposit) or as per trade experience. Inrespect of above, the Company has not recognized any loss incurrent year and in previous year on account of credit risk. TheCompany does not expect any loss.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles ofsales over a period of 36 months before the reporting date andthe corresponding historical credit losses experienced withinthis period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect currentand forward-looking information on macroeconomic factorsaffecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.Trade receivables are written off where there is no reasonableexpectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonableexpectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure ofa debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company,and a failure to make contractual payments for a period ofgreater than 180 days past due.
The Company has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short-term leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months orless) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis. The Company doesnot have any liability to make variable lease payments for the right-to-use the underlying asset recognised in the financials.
Total cash outflow for short term-leases and leases of low value for the year ended 31 March 2025 was ? 2.45 crores (31 March2024: ? 2.09 crores.).
The Company has leases for office premises, residential properties and storage facilities. With the exception of short-term leasesand low value leases, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Companyclassifies its right-of-use assets to its property, plant and equipment.
The following assumptions/methods were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The fair values of loan, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents,other financial assets, trade payables, borrowings, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities are considered to be same astheir carrying values due to their short term nature.
ii) The carrying amount of other items carried at amortized cost are reasonable approximation of their fair value.
iii) The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in acurrent transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
