Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are discounted, if the effect of the time value of money is material, using pre-tax rates thatreflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, an increase in the provisions due to thepassage of time is recognised as finance cost. These provisions are reviewed at each Balance Sheet dateand adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Necessary provision for doubtful debts, claims, etc., are made if realisation of money is doubtful in thejudgement of the management.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of thecompany or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where thereis a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. Contingent liabilities aredisclosed separately.
Show cause notices issued by various Government authorities are considered for evaluation of contingentliabilities only when converted into demand.

The treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and internationalfinancial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations through internal riskreports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (includingcurrency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using natural hedging financial instruments andforward contracts to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Company’s policiesapproved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, the use of financialderivatives, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments,including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may resultfrom a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financialrisks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company actively manages itscurrency and interest rate exposures through its finance division and uses derivative instruments such as forwardcontracts and currency swaps, wherever required, to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivativeinstruments is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of management.
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchangerate fluctuations arise. The Company actively manages its currency rate exposures through a centralised treasurydivision and uses natural hedging principles to mitigate the risks from such exposures. The use of derivativeinstruments, if any, is subject to limits and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of management.
Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currenciesmay impact the Company’s revenues from its operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impactthe Company’s cost of borrowings. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency byaggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchangerates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 2%, which represents management’s assessmentof the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstandingforeign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 2% change inforeign currency rates.
In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange riskbecause the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates.The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowingsand by the use of interest rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interestrate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied. Further, inappropriate cases, the Company also effects changes in the borrowing arrangements to convert floating interestrates to fixed interest rates.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivativesand non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis isprepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding forthe whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to keymanagement personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interestrates.

Wherever the Companyassesses the credit risk as high, the exposure is backed by either bank, guarantee/letter of credit or securitydeposits.
The Company does not have higher concentration of credit risks to a single customer. As per simplified approach,the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigatethe risk of default in payments and makes appropriate provision at each reporting date wherever outstanding isfor longer period and involves higher risk.
Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits with the banks/financial institutions is generally low as thesaid deposits have been made with the banks/financial institutions, who have been assigned high credit rating byinternational and domestic rating agencies.

In view of the fact that the Company for preparing the sensitivity analysis considers the present value of thedefined benefit obligation which has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of thereporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liabilityrecognised in the balance sheet.
The leave scheme is a final salary defined benefit plan, that provides for a lumpsum payment at the time ofseparation; based on scheme rules the benefits are calculated on the basis of last drawn salary and theleave count at the time of separation and paid as lumpsum.
