NOTE 47: EMPLOYEE BENEFITa) Contribution to Defined Contribution Plan:
i) Employers Contribution to Provident Fund including contribution to Pension Fund amounting to Rs. 287.12 Lakhs(Previous Year - Rs.273.52 Lakhs) has been included under Contribution to Provident and other Funds.
(Refer Note - 34)
ii) Compensated absences:
The Company provides for encashment of leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled toaccumulate leave subject to certain limits, for future encashment. The liability is provided based on the number ofdays of unutilized leave at each Balance Sheet date on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.
iii) Superannuation:
The Company makes contribution to Superannuation Scheme, a defined contribution scheme administered byInsurance Companies. The Company has no obligation to the scheme beyond its annual contribution.
b) Contribution to Defined Benefit Plans:
i) Gratuity:
The Company provides for gratuity as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuousservice for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. Amount of gratuity payable on retirement /termination is theemployees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied by number ofyears of service. The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in future based on an actuarialvaluation.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as, Investment risk, Interest rate risk, longevityrisk, salary escalation rate risk etc.
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to themarket yields on government bonds denominated in Indian rupees. If the actual return on plan asset is below thisrate, it will create a plan deficit.
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However this will be partially offset by anincrease in the return on plans debt investments.
c) Longevity risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortalityof plan participants during their employment.
An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of planparticipants. As an increase in the salary of plan participants will increase the plans liability.
The following table sets out the status of the Gratuity Plan as required under IND AS 19.
The principal assumption used for the purposes of the actuarial valuation is as follows:
The plan does not invest directly in any property occupied by the Company or in any financial securities issued by theCompany.
The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuations, taking account of inflation, seniority, promotions,and other relevant factors, such as supply demand in the employment market.
The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on market prices prevailing on that date, applicable to theperiod over which the obligation is to be settled. There has been significant change in expected rate of return on assets due tochange in market scenario.

NOTE 49: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks i.e. Liquidity risk, Market risks and Credit risk.The Company's senior management has overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company's risk managementframework.
The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company'srisk management policies. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the
Company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review the changes in market conditions and reflectthe changes in the policy accordingly. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Board of the Company.
a) Liquidity Risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financialliabilities. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are availablefor use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital limits from its bankers.
The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet its dailyoperational needs. Any short-term surplus cash generated, over and above the normal requirement for working capital isinvested in Bank Fixed deposits and Mutual funds, which carry minimal mark to market risks.
b) Market Risks:
Market risk is the risk of changes in market prices, liquidity and other factors that could have an adverse effect onrealizable fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities and future cash flows to the Company. The Company'sactivities expose it to risk from movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and market prices thataffect its assets, liabilities and future transactions.
I) Foreign currency risk:
i. Potential impact of risk:
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currency and is thus exposed to foreign currency riskfrom transactions and translation.
The sensitivity of profit and loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from un hedged foreign currencydenominated financial instruments. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregationof the net foreign exchange rate exposure of currency and a parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchangerates of each currency by 5% which represents Management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreignexchange rates.
The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investments in equities & mutual funds. The price riskarises due to uncertainties about the future market value of these investments.
As at March 31, 2026, the investments in equities and mutual funds amount to Rs. 9,490.56 Lakhs (as at March 31,2025 - Rs 8339.80 Lakhs) which are exposed to price risk.
The Company has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimize price risk arising from Investmentsin Equities & Mutual funds.
A 10% increase in prices would have led to approximately an additional Rs.949.06 Lakhs gain in the Statement of OtherComprehensive Income for the year ended March 31, 2026 (for the year ended March 31, 2025 Rs 833.98 Lakhs). A10% decrease in prices would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrows fundsat both fixed and variable interest rates.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company has variable rate borrowings to the extent of Rs. 13,887.44 Lakhs (As at March31, 2025, Rs 18,377.73 Lakhs).These are exposed to Interest rate risk.
The risk is managed by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Company haslaid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimize the interest rate risk.
iii. Sensitivity to risk:
The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on exposure to interest rates at the end of reporting period. Forfloating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of liability as on the end of reporting periodwas outstanding for the entire year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate riskinternally and represents Managements assessment of the reasonable possible change in interest rates.
If Interest rates had been 25 basis point higher, the Company's profit would decrease by approximate Rs.34.71Lakhs (For the year ended March 31, 2025, profit would decrease by Rs.45.94 Lakhs). A 25 basis point decrease inInterest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
c) Credit Risk:
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss tothe Company. The Company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficientcollateral, wherever appropriate,as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Trade receivablesconsist of a large number of customers, across geographies, hence is not exposed to concentration risk. Ongoing creditevaluation is performed on the financial condition of its customers.
NOTE 50: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Management has assessed that its financial assets and liabilities like cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, tradepayables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values largely due to the short-termmaturities of these instruments.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial statements thatare (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost. To provide an indication about the
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy included financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This included listed equityinstruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stockexchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuationtechniques which maximize the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument areobservable, the instrument is included in Level 2
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 51: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTING RATIOS
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximizing thereturns to stakeholders through optimisation of debt and equity ratios.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual budgets and three years corporate planfor working capital, capital outlay and long-term strategies. The funding requirements are met through internal accrualsand a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings.
The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of total debt to equity and maturity profile of the overall debtportfolio of the Company.
NOTE 53:
