Provisions are measured at the Present value of themanagement's best estimate (these estimated arereviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflectthe current best estimate) of the expenditure required tosettle the present obligation at the end of reporting
period. Provisions involving substantial degree ofestimation in measurement are recognized when thereis a present obligation as a result of past events and it isprobable that there will be an outflow of resources.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed only when there is apossible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events which is not wholly within the control of theCompany or a present obligation that arises from pastevents where it is either not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligation orestimate of the amount cannot be measured reliably.
No contingent asset is recognized but disclosed by wayof notes to accounts only when its recognition is virtuallycertain.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probablethat the economic benefits will flow to the Company andthe revenue can be reliably measured, regardless ofwhen the payment is being made. Amount of sales arenet of goods and service tax, sale returns, tradeallowances and discounts.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognisedwhen control of the goods is transferred to the customeron satisfaction of performance obligations. ThePerformance obligations as per contracts withcustomers are fulfilled at the time of dispatch or deliveryof goods depending upon the terms agreed withcustomer.
Revenue towards satisfaction of performanceobligation is measured at the amount of transactionprice (net of variable consideration and provision forsales returns) allocated to that performance obligation.Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns andtrade discounts, rebates, incentives, etc. A receivable isrecognised where the Company's right to considerationis unconditional. The Company collects goods andservices tax on behalf of the government and therefore,these are not economic benefits flowing to theCompany. Hence, these are excluded from the revenue.
Additional points:
When either party to a contract has performed, an entityshall present the contract in the balance sheet ascontract asset or contract liability, depending on therelationship between the entity's performance and thecustomer's payment.
Principal vs agent :
The Company assesses its revenue arrangement inorder to determine if its business partner is acting as aprinciple or as an agent by analysing whether theCompany has primary obligation for pricing latitude andexposure to credit / inventory risk associated with thesale of goods. The Company has concluded that certainarrangements are on principal to agent basis where itsbusiness partner is acting as an agent. Hence, sale ofgoods to its business partner is recognised once theyare sold to the end customer.
Rights of return :
Certain contracts provide a customer with a right toreturn the goods within a specified period. TheCompany uses the expected value method to estimatethe goods that will be returned because this methodbest predicts the amount of variable consideration towhich the Company will be entitled. The requirements inInd AS 115 on constraining estimates of variableconsideration are also applied in order to determine theamount of variable consideration that can be included inthe transaction price. For goods that are expected to bereturned, instead of revenue, the Company recognisesa refundable liability. A right of return asset andcorresponding adjustment to change in inventory is alsorecognised for the right to recover products from acustomer.
Assets and liabilities arising from returns i.e. Returnableassets represents the Company’s right to recover thegoods expected to be returned by customers. The assetis measured at the former carrying amount of theinventory, less any expected costs to recover thegoods, including any potential decrease in the value ofthe returned goods. The Company updates themeasurement of the asset recorded for any revisions toits expected level of returns, as well as any additionaldecrease in the value of the returned products.
A refundable liability is the obligation to refund some orall of the consideration received (or receivable) from thecustomer and is measured at the amount the Companyultimately expects it will have to return to the customer.The Company updates its estimates of refundableliabilities (and the corresponding change in thetransaction price) at the end of each reporting period.Refer to above accounting policy on variableconsideration.
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and arestated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriateallowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.Estimated irrecoverable amounts are based on theageing of the receivable balance and historicalexperience. Additionally, a large number of minorreceivables is grouped into homogeneous groups andassessed for impairment collectively. Individual tradereceivables are written off when management deemsthem not to be collectible.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognizedwhen it is probable that the economic benefits will flowto the Company and the amount of income can bemeasured reliably. Interest is accrued on timeproportion basis, by reference to the principleoutstanding at the effective interest rate.
Income from dividend on investments is accrued in theyear in which it is declared, whereby the Company’sright to receive is established.
All other income is recognized on accrual basis when nosignificant uncertainty exists on their receipt.
Income tax expense for the year comprises of currenttax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statement ofProfit and Loss except to the extent it relates to anybusiness combination or to an item which is recogniseddirectly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax assets and liabilities aremeasured at the amount expected to be recoveredfrom or paid to the tax authorities in accordance withthe Income Tax Act,1961 enacted in India. The taxrates and tax laws used to compute the amount arethose that are enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date. Current income tax relating to itemsrecognized outside statement of profit or loss isrecognized outside statement of profit or loss (eitherin other comprehensive income or in equity). Currenttax items are recognized in correlation to theunderlying transaction either in OCI or directly inequity. Management periodically evaluates positionstaken in the tax returns with respect to situations inwhich applicable tax regulations are subject tointerpretation and establishes provisions whereappropriate.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method ontemporary differences between the tax bases ofassets and liabilities and their carrying amounts forfinancial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductibletemporary differences, the carry forward of unusedtax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred taxassets are recognized to the extent that it is probablethat taxable profit will be available against which thedeductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax lossescan be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets isreviewed at each reporting date and reduced to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of thedeferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognizeddeferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reportingdate and are recognized to the extent that it hasbecome probable that future taxable profits will allowthe deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at thetax rates that are expected to apply in the year whenthe asset is realized or the liability is settled, based ontax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outsidestatement of profit or loss is recognized outsidestatement of profit or loss. Deferred tax items arerecognized in correlation to the underlyingtransaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities areoffset if a legally enforceable right exists to set offcurrent tax assets against current tax liabilities andthe deferred taxes relate to the same taxableCompany Group and the same taxation authority.
i) Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations aremeasured on an undiscounted basis and areexpensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to bepaid under performance related pay if the Companyhas a present, legal or constructive obligation to paythis amount as a result of past service provided by theemployee and the obligation can be estimatedreliably.
ii) Post-employment benefits
Employee benefit that are payable after thecompletion of employment are Post-EmploymentBenefit (other than termination benefit). Company hasidentified post employment benefits:
a) Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are those plans inwhich the Company pays fixed contribution intoseparate entities and will have no legal orconstructive obligation to pay further amounts.Provident Fund and Employee State Insuranceare Defined Contribution Plans in whichCompany pays a fixed contribution and will haveno further obligation beyond the monthlycontributions and are recognised as an expensesin Statement of Profit & Loss.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employmentbenefit plan other than a defined contributionplan.
Company pays Gratuity as per provisions of theGratuity Act, 1972. The Company’s netobligation in respect of defined benefit plans iscalculated separately for each plan by estimatingthe amount of future benefit that employees haveearned in return for their service in the currentand prior periods; that benefit to employees isdiscounted to determine its present value.
The calculation is performed annually by aqualified actuary using the projected unit creditmethod. The net interest cost is calculated byapplying the discount rate to the net balance ofthe defined benefit obligation and the fair value ofplan assets. This cost is included in employeebenefit expense in the statement of profit andloss. Any actuarial gains or losses pertaining tocomponents of re-measurements of net definedbenefit liability/(asset) are recognized in OCI inthe period in which they arise. The calculation isperformed annually by a qualified actuary usingthe projected unit credit method. The net interestcost is calculated by applying the discount rate tothe net balance of the defined benefit obligationand the fair value of plan assets. This cost isincluded in employee benefit expense in thestatement of profit and loss. Any actuarial gainsor losses pertaining to components of re¬measurements of net defined benefitliability/(asset) are recognized in OCI in theperiod in which they arise.
The liabilities for leave balance are not expectedto be settled wholly within 12 months after theend of the reporting period in which theemployees render the related service. They aretherefore measured as the present value ofexpected future payments to be made in respectof services provided by employees up to the endof the reporting period using the projected unitcredit method. The benefits are discounted usingthe market yields on government bonds at theend of the reporting period that have termsapproximating to the terms of the relatedobligation. Remeasurements as a result ofexperience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in statement ofprofit and loss.
The obligations are presented as current
liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity doesnot have an unconditional right to defersettlement for at least twelve months after thereporting period, regardless of when the actualsettlement is expected to occur.
Basic earnings/(loss) Per Share is calculated bydividing the net profit or loss for the period attributableto equity shareholders by weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings/(loss)per share, net profit after tax during the year and theweighted average number of shares outstanding duringthe year are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potentialequity shares.
The Company assesses at contract inception whether acontract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contractconveys the right to control the use of an identified assetfor a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as lessee
The Company applies a single recognition andmeasurement approach for all leases, except for short¬term leases and leases of low-value assets. TheCompany recognises lease liabilities to make leasepayments and right-of-use assets representing the rightto use the underlying assets.
The Company determines the lease term as the non¬cancellable term of the lease, together with any periodscovered by an option to extend the lease if it isreasonably certain to be exercised, or any periodscovered by an option to terminate the lease, if it isreasonably certain not to be exercised.
Right of use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at thecommencement date of the lease (i.e., the date theunderlying asset is available for use). Right-of-useassets are measured at cost, less any accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted forany measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilitiesrecognised, initial direct costs incurred and leasepayments made at or before the commencement dateless any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assetsare depreciated on a straight-line basis over the leaseterm or useful life of assets which ever is lower, ifownership of the leased asset transfer to the Companyat the end of lease term or the cost reflects the exerciseof purchase option, depreciation is calculated using theestimated useful life of the assets. The Right-of-useassets are also subject to impairment.
Right of Use Assets having definite life are depreciatedon straight line method in their useful life mentionedbelow:
a) Right of use assets 05-15 Years as per
term of lease
Lease liability
At the commencement date of the lease, the Companyrecognises lease liabilities measured at the presentvalue of lease payments to be made over the lease term.The lease payments include fixed payments less anylease incentives receivable. Variable lease paymentsthat do not depend on an index or a rate are recognisedas expenses (unless they are incurred to produceinventories) in the period in which the event or conditionthat triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, theCompany uses its incremental borrowing rate at thelease commencement date because the interest rateimplicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After thecommencement date, the amount of lease liabilities isincreased to reflect the accretion of interest andreduced for the lease payments made. In addition, thecarrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if thereis a modification, a change in the lease term, a change inthe lease payments or a change in the assessment of anoption to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognitionexemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leasesthat have a lease term of 12 months or less from thecommencement date and do not contain a purchaseoption). It also applies the lease of low-value assetsrecognition exemption to items that are considered tobe low value. Lease payments on short-term leases andleases of low-value assets are recognised as expenseon a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Grants from the Government are recognised when thereis reasonable assurance that all the underlyingconditions will be complied with and the grants will bereceived.
Government Grant whose primary condition is that theCompany should purchase, construct or otherwiseacquire capital assets are presented by adding them tothe carrying value of Assets. The grant is recognized asincome over the life of depreciable asset by way oftransferring balance from deferred revenue income toother income.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are divided into threeLevels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to themeasurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for financial instruments.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuationtechniques which maximise the use of observable market data rely as little as possible on entity 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.
Level 1: Quoted prices in the active market. This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by referenceto quoted prices in the active market. This category consists of mutual funds.
Level 2: Valuation techniques with observable inputs. This level of hierarchy includes items measured using inputs otherthan quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for such items, either directly or indirectly. This level ofhierarchy consists of investment in equity shares of private limited companies.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company’s maximumexposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of following types of financial assets.
- cash and cash equivalents,
- trade receivables,
- loans and receivables carried at amortised cost, and
- deposits with banks
a) Credit Risk Management
The Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system, continuously monitoringdefaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates thisinformation into its credit risk controls. Internal credit rating is performed for each class of financial instruments withdifferent characteristics. The Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based onthe assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banksand diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks.
The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer (Business to Business sales model) isanalysed individually for creditworthiness before the payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. TheCompany’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information,industry information and business intelligence. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed annually.Any sales exceeding those limits require approval from the appropriate authority as per policy.
In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whetherthey are an individual or a legal entity, whether they are a institutional, dealers, their geographic location, industry,trade history with the Company and existence of previous financial difficulties.
The Company based on internal assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ current facts available inrelation to default and delays in collection thereof, the credit risk for trade receivables is considered low. TheCompany estimates its allowance for trade receivable using lifetime expected credit loss. The balance past due formore than 6 month, is ' 26.93 lakhs (31 March 2024: ' 45.07 lakhs).
Loan and Other financial assets measured at amortised cost includes security deposits, fixed deposits loan to relatedparties and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability ofsuch amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system in place ensure the amounts are withindefined limits.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty in meeting its present and future obligations associatedwith financial liabilities that are required to be settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company'sobjective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral obligations . The Companyrequires funds both for short term operational needs as well as for long term investment programs mainly in growthprojects. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It aims tominimise these risks by generating sufficient cash flows from its current operations, which in addition to the available cashand cash equivalents, liquid investments and sufficient committed fund facilities, will provide liquidity.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and competition and pricerisk.
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. The Company’s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures. TheCompany is exposed to changes in market interest rates as some of the bank and other borrowings are at variableinterest rates.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of /-1%. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on management’s assessment. The calculationsare based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at eachreporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reservesattributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensurethat it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholdervalue.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and therequirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by totalcapital plus net debt. The Company’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio optimum. The Company's net debts includes workingcapital borrowings.
The lease asset class primarily consists of leases for buildings with the exception of short-term leases, leases of low-value andcancellable long-term leases underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right of use asset and a leaseliability. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incrementalborrowing rate on the date of adoption that is 9% per annuam.
Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right to sublet the asset to another party, the rightof use asset can only be used by the Company. Leases are either non-cancellable or may only be cancelled by incurring asubstantive termination fee. Some leases contain an option to extend the lease for a further term. The Company is prohibitedfrom selling or pledging the underlying leased assets as security against the Company other debts and liabilities.
The Company also has certain leases of offices, store premises and warehouses with lease terms of 12 months or less. TheCompany applies the ‘short-term lease’ recognition exemptions for these leases. The lease payments for such leases is beingrecognised on actual basis by applying paragraph 6 of Ind AS 116.
