Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price),regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique.In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques.
Valuation framework
The Company's valuation framework includes:
(i) Benchmarking prices against observable market prices or other independent sources.
(ii) Development and validation of fair valuation models using model logic, inputs, outputs and adjustments.
These valuation models are subject to a process of due diligence and validation before they become operational and are continuously calibrated. These models are subject to approvals by various functions including risk, treasury and finance functions. Finance function is responsible for establishing procedures, governing valuation and ensuring fair values are in compliance with accounting standards.
Valuation methodologies adopted
1. The Company has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, bank balances,other than cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade payables, Investment in equity instrument and Preference shares ofsubsidiary & associates and other financial liabilities because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value. Further, for financial assets, the Company has taken into consideration the allowances for expected credit losses and adjusted the carrying values where applicable.
2. The fair values of the quoted investments/ units of mutual fund schemes are based on market price/ net asset value at the reporting date.
3. The fair values for loans given are calculated based on discounted cash flows using current lending rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses ofthese receivables. Accordingly, fair value ofsuch instruments are not materially different from their carrying values. They are classified as level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy.
4. Fair values of the Company's interest-bearing borrowings are determined by using discounted cash flow method using the current borrowing rates. Fair value of such instruments are not materially different from their carrying values, accordingly non-current borrowings are classified as level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy.

Level 1: This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on Company specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
Note 34: Financial Risk Management Risk Management
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support the company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include investments, cash and cash equivalents and other receivables that are derived directly from its operations. As an Non Banking Financial Company categorised as ”Non-Systematicalyy Important Non Deposit taking Company”, the Company is exposed to various risks that are related to Investment business and operating environment. The principal objective in Company's risk management processes is to measure and monitor the various risks that Company is subject to and to follow policies and procedures to address such risks.
The Company is exposed to market risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
a) Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market factor. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the interest rate, stock prices, liquidity, and other market changes. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of company’s earnings and equity to loss and reduce its exposure to the volatility inherent in financial instruments. The Company is exposed to Price risk under market risk as follows:
Price risk
The Company's securities investments carry a risk of change in prices arising from uncertainties about future values of the invested securities. To manage its price risk arising from investments in these securities, through diversification by periodically monitoring the sectors it has invested in, performance of the investee companies, measures mark- to- market gains/losses and reviews the same on a continuous basis.
The impact of increases/ decreases of the BSE/ NSE index on the Company’s equity shares and gain/ loss for the period would be as depicted in above table. The analysis is based on the assumption that the index has increased by 1% or decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company’s investments having price risk moved in line with the index.
b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the entity may encounter in the form of difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The entity's approach towards managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the entity's reputation.
Prudent liquidity risk management requires sufficient cash and marketable securities and availability of funds through adequate committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions.
The Company takes a view of maintaining liquidity with minimal risks while making investments. The Company invests its surplus funds in short term liquid assets in the form of bank deposits and liquid mutual funds. The Company monitors its cash and bank balances periodically with a view to meet its short term obligations associated with its financial liabilities.
The Company is primarily engaged in lending and investing activities. During the year the Company has generated revenue only from investing activities and hence it does not have revenue from contracts with customers.
