(f) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the timevalue of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, whenappropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
(g) Contingent Liabilities
Disclosure of contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events whereit is either not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle ora reliable estimate of amount cannot be made.
(h) Current Tax and Deferred Tax
The tax expenses for the period comprise of current tax and deferred tax. The Company exercises judgment incomputation of current tax considering the relevant rulings and reassesses the carrying amount of deferred taxassets at the end of each reporting period
(i) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue from the sale ofgoods is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer which is usually on dispatch/ delivery of goods, based on contracts with the customers. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price,which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, asspecified in the contracts with the customers. Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf ofthe government. Accruals for discounts/incentives and returns are estimated (using the most likely method)based on accumulated experience and underlying schemes and agreements with customers. Due to the shortnature of credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract. Other operatingincome is accounted on accrual basis as and when the right to receive arises. Interest income is recognisedusing effective interest rate (EIR) method. Dividend income is recognized, when the right to receive thedividend is established by the reporting date. Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admittedand to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
(j) Financial Instruments
I. Financial Assets
Purchase and sale of Financial Assets are recognized using trade date accounting. Trade receivables that donot contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
The Company has elected to account for its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture at costless impairment loss (if any). All other equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changesrecognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except for those equity investments for which the Company haselected to present the value changes in ‘Other Comprehensive Income’. However, dividend on such equityinvestments is recognized in Statement of Profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive payment isestablished. The investments in preference shares with the right to surplus assets which are in nature ofequity in accordance with Ind AS 32 are treated as separate category of investment and measured atFVTOCI. Other Financial Assets are generally measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)except where the Company, based on the business model objectives, measures these at Amortized Cost orFair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI). The Company uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’(ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than those measured at Fair ValueThrough Profit or Loss (FVTPL).
Expected Credit Losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on thefinancial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); orFull lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events overthe life of the financial instrument).
For Trade Receivables, the Company applies ‘simplified approach’ which requires expected lifetime lossesto be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.
The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of tradereceivables. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward¬looking estimates are analyzed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12-month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is nosignificant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.
II. Financial Liabilities
For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amountsare determined to approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
III. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps,forwards & options and commodity contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates, exchange ratesand commodity prices. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates anddocuments the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the riskmanagement objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement ofProfit and Loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedge which is recognized in OtherComprehensive Income and later to Statement of Profit and Loss when the hedged item affects profit orloss or is treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognitionof a Non-Financial Assets or Non-Financial liability.
Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
Cash Flow Hedge
The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative Financial Assets/ Liabilities as hedginginstruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreignexchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognized asset or liability orforecast cash transactions.
IV. Offsetting
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheetwhen, and only when, the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the amount and it intends,either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
3. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements requires management to make judgement, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanyingdisclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in next financial years.
(a) Property Plant and Equipment/ Intangible Assets
Estimates are involved in determining the cost attributable to bringing the assets to the location and conditionnecessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. Property, Plant andEquipment/Intangible Assets are depreciated/ amortized over their estimated useful life, after taking intoaccount estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful life and residual values of theassets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation/ amortization to be recorded during anyreporting period. The useful life and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience withsimilar assets and take into account anticipated technological and future risks. The depreciation/ amortizationfor future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
(b) Provisions
The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability (including litigations) requires the application ofjudgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts ofprovisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts andcircumstances.
(c) Impairment of Financial and Non-Financial Assets
The impairment provisions for Financial Assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expectedcash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to theimpairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward¬looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. In case of non-financial assets, assessment ofimpairment indicators involves consideration of future risks. Further, the Company estimates asset’srecoverable amount, which is higher of an asset’s or Cash Generating Units (CGU’s) fair value less costs ofdisposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to theirpresent value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of moneyand the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactionsare taken into account, if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
(d) Fair Value Measurement
For estimates relating to fair value of financial instruments refer note 39 of financial statements.
Nature and purpose of reserves: -
1. Retained earnings - It represents surplus / accumulated earnings of the Company available for distribution to the shareholders.
* During the current year, the Company identified that certain items of other comprehensive income(Actuarial Gain / (Loss)) wereincorrectly classified under Retained Earnings in the previous financial year.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We have exported sesame seeds to Korea agro fisheries and food trade corporation on January 24, 2025 amounting to Rs. 893.63lakhs. Subsequent to the reporting date and upon arrival at the destination, the buyer identified quality issues with theconsignment. Despite extensive discussions and efforts to resolve the matter, the buyer has ultimately decided to reject theshipment and return the entire consignment.
As this situation arose from conditions that occurred after the reporting date of March 31, 2025, it has been classified as a non¬adjusting event in accordance with Ind AS 10 - Events after the Reporting Period.
Accordingly, the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025, remain unadjusted in this regard. However, based onour current assessment, the estimated financial impact of this event is a potential loss of approximately 10% of the transactionvalue. The effect of this event will be recognized in the financial statements of the subsequent period.
Valuation Methodology
All financial instruments are initially recognised and subsequently re-measured at fair value as described below:
a) The fair value of investment in quoted Equity Shares, Mutual Funds and, Alternate investment funds is measured at quotedprice or NAV.
b) The fair value of Forward Foreign Exchange contracts is determined using observable forward exchange rates at the balancesheet date.
B. Financial risk management
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interestrate risk. The Company’s primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potentialadverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Companyuses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. It is the Company’s policy that notrading in derivative for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies formanaging each of these risks, which are summarized below:
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 itscontractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Cred itrisk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstandingaccounts receivable and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financialassets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses thecredit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Trade and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Thedemographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also hasan influence on credit risk assessment. Ratings of customers are periodically monitored. The expected credit loss allowance isbased on the ageing of the days receivables which are past due and the rates derived based on past history of defaults in theprovision matrix.
Other financial assets - investments, cash, derivative assets, loans and security deposits and other bank balances
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that havea good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties, and does not haveany significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors. Further, the Company maintains its Cash and cashequivalents and Bank deposits with banks / financial institutions having good reputation, good past track record and high qualitycredit rating and also reviews their credit-worthiness on an on-going basis.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses (primarily in U.S.Dollars). A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are in these foreign currencies, while a significant portion of its costsare in Indian Rupees. As a result, if the value of the Indian Rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company ’ srevenues measured in Rupees may decrease. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and these foreign currencies haschanged substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the Companyuses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreigncurrency exchange rates in respect of its forecasted cash flows and trade receivables. The following table presents foreigncurrency risk from non-derivative financial instruments as on reporting dates:
