v. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Company recognizes provision, when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, where it is
probable that there will be outflow of resources to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation can be made. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its
carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. For long-term provisions, management performs an exercise at
each balance sheet date to identify the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance
sheet date, discounted at an appropriate rate. The increase in provision due to the passage of time (that is a consequence of the
discount rate) is recognized as borrowing cost.

Contingent liabilities are recognised only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, due to occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Company, or where any present
obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources, or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be
made. Obligations are assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are
provided for.

As per IndAS 37, Contingent liabilities, if any, are not recognized but are disclosed and described in the notes to the financial
statements, including an estimate of their potential financial effect and uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any
outflow, unless the possibility of settlement is remote.

Contingent assets are not disclosed in the financial statements unless an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

w. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with a maturity of three months or less.

x. Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method where by the profit before tax is adjusted for the effect of the transaction of
non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past and future operating cash receipts or payments and items of income or
expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities
of the company are segregated.

In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits with banks, other short-term highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within
borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

y. Related Party Disclosures

All disclosures as specified under IndAS 24 are made in these financial Statements in respect of the company's transactions
with related parties.

z. Dividend

Dividends proposed or declared after the reporting period but before the financial statements are approved for issue, are not
recognized as a liability at the end of the reporting period because no obligation exists at that time. The company recognizes
the dividend to Equity Shareholders as a liability and deducts the same from Shareholder's equity only in the period in which
the dividends are approved by the equity shareholders in the general meeting.

aa. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Company Balance Sheet when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial Assets - Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing and are recognized initially at fair value, and subsequently at amortized cost using
the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment, if any.

Impairment of Trade Receivables

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its trade receivables to determine whether there is
any indication of impairment loss. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the Company uses
the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model to assess the impairment loss.

Financial Assets - Investments

Investments consist of investments in equity shares, mutual funds & bonds and are recognized at fair value through profit &
loss. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Dividends, if any, on equity
instruments are recognized in profit or loss when it is received. Investment in subsidiary and Joint Venture are accounted at
cost using equity method of accounting.

Financial Assets - Loans and Advances to Staff

Loans and advances, which are given to staff are either adjusted against salary or received on completion of the agreed period.
The amount of loan and advances given being not material are carried at cost.

Impairment of Loans and Advances to Staff

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its loans and advances to determine whether there
is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. The Company has not observed any impairment loss to
the carrying value of loans and advances to staff.

Financial Liabilities - Interest-Bearing Borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are initially recorded at fair value, net of attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between

proceeds and redemption value being recognized in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective
interest basis.

Financial Liabilities - Trade Payables

Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.

Financial Liabilities - Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative transactions are entered into by the Company in the form of Forward/Option/Cross Currency Contracts to mitigate
the risk of changes in the exchange rates on foreign currency exposures and changes in gold prices. The counterparty of these
contracts is bank, financial institutions and commodity exchange. These contracts are generally entered against the
underlying assets such as receivables, payables and inventory and orders received/issued from/to customers/suppliers.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered
into and are also subsequently measured at fair value. These derivatives constitute hedge from an economic perspective and
are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any
gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to sales / purchase in statement of Profit
and Loss.

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet only when there is a current legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.

FAIR VALUE RELATED DISCLOSURES:

Fair Value Measurement:

Fair value related disclosures for financial instruments and non-financial assets that are measured at fair value or where fair values
are disclosed are summarized in the following notes.

The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either
in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or
market for the asset or liability the principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by
using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs used

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged 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:

i. Long-term receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk
factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation,
allowances are taken into account for the expected credit losses, if any, of these receivables.

ii. The fair values of the quoted equity shares are based on price quotations at the reporting date (Level 1 inputs).

iii. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments in the form of Foreign exchange Forwards & Options contracts. The
counterparties of these contracts are Banks. These derivatives constitute hedge from an economic perspective and are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly in the revenue from Sale of products or purchases in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Foreign exchange forward and Option contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which
employ the use of market observable inputs. The valuation technique applied is the use of "quoted prices in active markets".

iv. The fair values of the Group's interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using DCF method using discount rate
that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period.

Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure

fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value

hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable

• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Company determines whether transfers
have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of Financial Instruments

The management assessed that for all Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair value.

OTHER FAIR VALUE RELATED DISCLOSURES
Recurring / non-recurring classification of fair value:

All fair value measurements for the year ended 31/3/2025 and 31/3/2024 are recurring in nature and there are no Non-recurring fair
value measurements of assets or liabilities in these periods.

Level 3 inputs related disclosure

There are no recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in the reporting periods and hence
there is no effect of the measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period.

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for all assets and liabilities held at the end of the
reporting period that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Change in Valuation Techniques, if any

There has been no change in the valuation techniques in the reporting periods.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed
through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the
Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses and
impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers / corporate taking into account the financial condition, current
economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable and loans receivable. These include customers /
corporate, which have high credit-ratings assigned by international and domestic credit-rating agencies. Individual risk limits are set
accordingly.

On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For this
purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount for trade receivables. The provision matrix
takes into account external and internal credit risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.

None of the Company's cash equivalents, including term deposits with banks, were past due or impaired as at 31 March, 2025. Of the
total trade receivables, Rs. 56,156.31 lakhs as at March 31,2025 and Rs. 64,350.10 lakhs as at March 31,2024 consisted of customer
balances that were neither past due nor impaired. The Company's Credit risk management policies include categorizing the loans and
trade receivables based on estimates of Probability of Default and calculation of Expected Credit Losses (ECL).

Loans and advances include loans given to staff Rs. 114.90 lakhs as at March 31,2025 and Rs. 142.89 lakhs as at March 31,2024, which
the company perceives no impairment loss to be provided for.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages
its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.

Market Risk

Market risks include Interest Rate Risk and foreign Currency Risk. There are no identifiable Commodity Price Risks or Equity Price

Risks foreseen in the current reporting period.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is mainly exposed to the interest rate risk due to its variable and fixed rate domestic and foreign borrowings. The interest

rate risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market interest rate on these borrowings.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk principally via:

• Transactional exposure that arises from the sales / receivables / contracts entered based on orders denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency of the Company

• Transactional exposure that arises from the cost of goods sold / payables / contracts entered based on orders denominated in a
currency other than the functional currency of the Company.

• Foreign currency exposure that arises from foreign currency working Capital loans (including interest payable) denominated in
a currency other than the functional currency of the Company.

Commodity Risk

The Company is exposed to the commodity rate risk due to volatility in prices of Gold for its jewellery operations. Forward contracts for
Gold entered into by the company and outstanding as on 31s March, 2025 covers Nil Kg. (For F.Y.2023-2024 it was 1 Kg for purchase of
gold.). Sensivity analysis for commodity risk is not done as it is not material.

Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analysis reflects the impact on income and equity due to financial instruments held at the balance sheet date. It does not
reflect any change in sales or costs that may result from changing interest or exchange rates.

55. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital (defined as net debt plus equity) are to safeguard the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, while protecting and

structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes to economic conditions and the strategic objectives of the Company. To
