28.4 The trust is responsible for the governance of the plan.
Following are the risk to which the plan exposes the entity :
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into anincrease in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then theGratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, theacceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salarygrowth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption thenthe Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits arevested as at the resignation date.
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not bethe fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of thefuture discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significantchanges in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits.If some of such employees resign / retire from the Company there can be strain on the cash flows.
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. Oneactuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money.An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. Thisassumption depends on the yields on the corporate / government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposedto fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/ regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higherbenefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the samewill have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
35.2 The Fair value of current financial assets and current trade payables measured at amortized cost, are considered to be thesame as their carrying amount as they are of short term nature. Hence fair value hierarchy is not given for the same.
35.3 The carrying amount of non - current financial assets and non - current financial liabilities measured at amortized cost inthe financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that thecarrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled. Hence, fairvalue hierarchy is not given for the same.
35.4 There are no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.
35.5 Valuation technique and observable inputs used to determine fair value in level 2
The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value ('NAV') as stated by the issuers of thesemutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer willissue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
The fair value of investment in investment property are based on valuation report.
