Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation. As a result ofpast events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amountcan be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required tosettle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine thepresent value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and therisks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interestexpense.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but theirexistence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events notwholly within the control of the Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms offuture outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled whollywithin 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services arerecognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at theamounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) defined contribution plans such as provident fund.
The liability or asset recognized in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the presentvalue of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. Thedefined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cashoutflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that haveterms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefitobligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. Theyare included in retained earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Balance Sheet. Gratuityliability of employees is not funded.
Defined Contribution Plans such as Provident Fund, etc., are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss asincurred.
Borrowing cost comprises of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of the funds.All borrowing costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest methodexcept to the extent attributable to qualifying property, plant and equipment (PPE) which are capitalized tothe cost of the related assets. A qualifying PPE is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of timeto get ready for its intended use or sale. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extentconsidered as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Company by
• average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements inequity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to takeinto account:
• the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equityshares, and
• the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming theconversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable Value. Animpairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified asimpaired. The impairment loss recognized in earlier accounting period is reversed if there has been achange in the estimate of recoverable amount.

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings taken on lease for operating itsbranch offices, if any. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract.At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and acorresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term oftwelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases,the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the termof the lease.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the leaseterm. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future leasepayments, if any.
During the year, Company has only short-term and low value leases, therefore the Company recognizes thelease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-linebasis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation tocompensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in thebalance sheet based on their nature, if any.
During the year, Company has only short-term and low value leases receipt, therefore the Companyrecognizes the lease receipts as an operating income in profit & loss account.
Government grants are recognized on systematic basis when there is reasonable certainty of realization of thesame. Revenue grants including subsidy / rebates are credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss under “OtherIncome" or deducted from the related expenses for the period to which these are related. Grants which aremeant for purchase, construction or otherwise acquired through non-current assets are recognized as deferredincome and disclosed under non-current liabilities and transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss on asystematic basis over the useful life of the respective asset. Grants relating to non-depreciable assets aretransferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods that bear the cost of meeting the obligationsrelated to such grants.

The disclosures required under Indian Accounting Standard 19 on "Employee Benefits" are given below:
In accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 19, actuarial valuation was done in respect of the aforesaid definedbenefit plan based on the following assumptions.
The discount rate and salary increases assumed are the key financial assumptions and should be consideredtogether. It is the difference or gap between these rates which is more important than the individual rates in isolation.
The discounting rate is based on the gross redemption yield on medium to long term risk free investments. Theestimated term of the benefits / obligations works out to zero years. For the current valuation a discount rate of 7.25%p.a. (Previous Year 7.50% p.a.) compound has been used.
The salary escalation rate usually consists of at least three components, viz. regular increments, price inflation andpromotional increases. In addition to this any commitments by the management regarding future salary increasesand the Company's philosophy towards employee remuneration are also to be taken into account. Again a long-termview as to trend in salary increase rates has to be taken rather than be guided by the escalation rates experienced in
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 135(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act), the Company has formedits Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee. As per the relevant provisions of the Act read with Rule2(1)(f) of the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, the Company is required tospend at least 2% of the average net profits (determined under Section 198 of the Companies Act, 2013)made during the immediately three preceding financial years.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could beexchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. Fair values of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, othercurrent liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carryingamounts largely due to short-term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based onparameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on theevaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair values of financialinstruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effects on the recorded fair value areobservable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effects on the recorded fair value that are not basedon observable market data.
During the reporting periods ended March 31,2025 and March 31,2024, there were no transfers betweenLevel 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in the financialstatements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Group does not anticipate that thecarrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received orsettled.
43. During the year, interest cost of ' 12.45 (Previous Year ? NIL) has been capitalized by way of addition toPlant and Equipments up to the date of put to use of assets.

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from achange in the price of a financial instrument.

The Company is not exposed to any kind of price risk arising as at March 31,2025.

Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether thereis significant increase in credit risk, the company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset at thereporting date with the risk of default on the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportiveforward-looking information such as:
(i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty'sability to mere its obligation.
(iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty, and
(v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-partyguarantees or credit enhancements.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing toengage in a repayment plan with the Company. The Company categorizes a loan or receivable for write off when adebtor fails to make contractual payments greater than 2 years past due. Where loans or receivables have beenwritten off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due.Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
