s) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of pastevents, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can bereliably estimated. These are reviewed at each year end and reflect the best current estimate. Provisions are notrecognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement isdetermined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood ofan outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the presentobligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-taxrate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Theincrease in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existenceof which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events notwholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is eithernot probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of theamount cannot be made.
t) Employee benefitsDefined benefit plan
Gratuity
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is computed on the basis of an actuarial valuation by anactuary appointed for the purpose as per projected unit credit method at the end of each financial year. Theliability or asset recognised in the Standalone Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.The liability so provided is paid to a trust administered by the trustees nominated by the Company, which in turninvests in eligible securities to meet the liability as and when it becomes due for payment in future. Any shortfallin the value of assets over the defined benefit obligation is recognised as a liability with a corresponding chargeto the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cashoutflows with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have termsapproximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net balance ofthe defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expensein the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptionsare recognised in the period in which they occur directly in other comprehensive income. They are included inretained earnings in the Statement of changes in equity and in the Standalone Balance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailmentsare recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined contribution plan
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund,employees' state insurance corporation, national pension scheme and labour welfare fund are charged as an
expense to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be madeas and when services are rendered by the employees. The above benefits are classified as defined contributionschemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.
Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable within 12 months of service such as salaries, wages, bonus, ex-gratia, medicalbenefits, etc, are recognised in the year in which the employees render the related service and are presented ascurrent employee benefit obligations. Termination benefits are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.
Short-term employee benefits are provided at undiscounted amount during the accounting period based onservice rendered by employees.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for earned leave is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the periodin which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expectedfuture payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting periodusing the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of thereporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as aresult of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.
u) Earnings per share
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders andthe weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of alldilutive potential equity shares.
Critical estimates and judgements
Preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements require use of accounting estimates, judgements andassumptions, which by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Appropriate changes in estimates aremade as the Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes inestimates are reflected in the Standalone Financial Statements in the period in which changes are made and, ifmaterial, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the Standalone Financial Statements. This Note provides anoverview of the areas that involve a higher degree of judgements or complexity and of items that are more likely tobe materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed.Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together withinformation about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the Standalone Financial Statements.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
i) Estimation for income tax: Note 1 (d)
ii) Estimation of useful life of property, plant and equipment: Note 1 (f)
iii) Estimation of defined benefit obligations: Note 1 (t)
iv) Impairment: Note 1 (i)
Note 11 Equity share capital (continued)
a) Rights, preferences and restrictions
The Company has one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of ' 10 each.
i) Equity shares
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of theremaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts and preference shares, if any.The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders. Each holderof equity shares is entitled to one vote per share.
ii) Dividend

Nature and purpose of reserves
a) Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance withthe provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) Retained earnings
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less, any transfers to general reserve,any transfers from or to other comprehensive income, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
c) Other reserve
As per Modified Sanction Scheme MS-10 and MS-13 approved by the Board of Industrial Finance andReconstruction, the Company had issued 0% redeemable and non-convertible preference shares of ' 1,000lakh to Atul Ltd (holding company) and received interest free secured loan of ' 1,128.89 lakh and interest freeunsecured loan of ' 539.58 lakh from Atul Ltd. These financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost and theinitial fair value difference is recognised as capital contribution from Atul Ltd.
i) Information about individual provisions and critical estimates
a) Compensated absences
The compensated absences cover the liability for earned leave. Out of the total amount disclosed above,the amount of ' 1.27 lakh (March 31, 2025: ' 0.73 lakh) is presented as current, since the Company doesnot have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on pastexperience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or requirepayment within the next 12 months.
The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprisingfour labour codes collectively referred to as the ‘New Labour Codes' on November 21, 2025. Accordingly, the Companyhas assessed the impact of these changes and based on certain estimates and actuarial valuation, has made anincremental provision of ' 8.94 lakh under employee benefit expenses in the Standalone Financial Statements for theyear ended on March 31, 2026, considering information available. The Company continues to monitor the finalisationof the Central I State rules and clarifications from the Government on the New Labour Codes and will recognise theimpact of change in the estimate in that period, as needed.
Note 28.3 (F) Terms and conditions
1. Sales to and purchases from related parties were made on normal commercial terms and conditions and atprevailing market prices or where market price is not available, at cost plus margin.
2. Transactions relating to dividends were on the same terms and conditions that applied to other shareholders.
3. All outstanding balances are unsecured and are repayable in cash and cash equivalent.
Note 28.5 Employee benefit obligationsFunded schemes
a) Defined contribution plansGratuity
The gratuity fund is maintained with the Life Insurance Corporation of India and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance underGroup Gratuity scheme. Every employee is entitled to a benefit equivalent to the last drawn salary of 15 daysfor each completed year of service as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 till November 20, 2025, and thereafterthe Code on Social Security, 2020. Accordingly, Gratuity is calculated based on wages with applicable cap asper prevailing Act or the Company scheme, whichever is more beneficial to employees. Gratuity is payable at thetime of separation or retirement from the Company, whichever is earlier.
The benefit vests after five years of continuous service.The defined benefit plan for gratuity of the Company isadministered by separate gratuity funds that are legally separate from the Company. The trustees nominated bythe Company are responsible for the administration of the plan. The funding of these plans are based on gratuityfund's actuarial measurement framework set out in the funding policies of the plan. Employees do not contributeto any of these plans.
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptionsconstant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. Whencalculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method(present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of thereporting period) has been applied while calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the StandaloneBalance Sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change as comparedto the previous year.
Risk exposure
Through its defined contribution plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant ofwhich are detailed below:
i) Interest rate risk
A fall in the discount rate that is linked to the government securities rate will increase the present value ofthe liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market valueof the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Note 28.5 Employee benefit obligations (continued)
ii) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries ofmembers. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the planliability.
iii) Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate, which is determinedwith reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on planasset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balancedmix of investments in government securities and other debt instruments.
iv) Concentration risk
Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with two insurance company and a defaultwill wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companies have to followregulatory guidelines.
The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matchingthe expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. It has not changed the processesused to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of anysingle investment will not have a material impact on the overall level of assets. A large portion of assetsconsists of insurance funds; it also invests in corporate bonds and special deposit schemes. The plan assetmix is in compliance with the requirements of the respective local regulations.
Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2027, are' 2.89 lakh.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 8 years (2024-25: 10 years). The expectedmaturity analysis of gratuity is as follows:
b) Other long-term benefits
Leave encashment is payable to eligible employees who have earned leaves, during the employment and | or onseparation as per the policy of the Company. Valuation in respect of leave encashment has been carried out byan independent actuary, as at the Standalone Balance Sheet date, based on the following assumptions:
c) Defined contribution plans:Provident fund
State defined contribution plans
Employers' contribution to employees' state insuranceEmployers' contribution to employees' pension scheme 1995
The provident fund and the state defined contribution plans are operated by the Regional Provident FundCommissioner. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costto the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. These funds are recognised by the income tax authorities.The contribution of the Company to the provident fund and other contribution plans for all employees is chargedto the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss for the year(refer Note 24):
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statementsare a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amountswould be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
a) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instrumentsthat are: a) recognised and measured at fair value and b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair valuesare disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputsused in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribedin the Indian Accounting Standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table:
There were no transfers between any levels during the year.
Level 1: This hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The fair value of all equityinstruments that are traded on the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques, which maximise the use of observable marketdata and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. The mutual fund units are valued using the closingnet assets value. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument isincluded in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is includedin level 3.
Note 28.6 Fair value measurements (continued)
b) Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
i) the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
ii) the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis
c) Valuation processes
The Finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets andliabilities with assistance from independent external experts when required, for financial reporting purposes,including level 3 fair values.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, trade payables, employeebenefits payable, payable towards expenses, creditors for capital goods and security deposits are considered tobe the same as their fair values due to the current and short-term nature of such balances.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.Note 28.7 Financial risk management
The business activities of the Company are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market riskand credit risk. Responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework lies with theSenior Management of the Company. The Company has an internal team who are responsible for developing andmonitoring the risk management policies of the Company. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed beforethe Board of the Company. The risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by theCompany, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk managementpolicies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the activities of the Company.
This note explains the risks which the Company is exposed to and how the Company manages the risks in theStandalone Financial Statements.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractualobligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortised cost orfair value through profit and loss and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposuresto trade | non-trade customers including outstanding receivables.
i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is managed through the policy surrounding Credit Risk Management.
ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
Trade receivables
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited. As trade receivables consist of few customers, forwhich ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of the trade receivables. Historicalexperience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past default and hence thecredit risk is perceived to be low.
Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, ' 627.77 lakh (March 31, 2025: ' 260.17 lakh) isdue from related parties. Apart from this, the Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to anysingle counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Company definescounterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities.
b) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who has approvedan appropriate liquidity risk management framework for short, medium and long-term funding and liquiditymanagement requirements of the Company. The Management monitors rolling forecasts of the liquidity positionof the Company and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows and manages liquidity riskby continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financialassets and liabilities.
The following table shows the maturity analysis of financial liabilities of the Company based on contractuallyagreed undiscounted cash flows including contractual interest payment, as at the Standalone Balance Sheet date:
c) Market risk
i) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Maturity analysis of financial liabilities of the Company is based on contractually agreed undiscounted cashflows as at the Balance Sheet date:
Borrowings of the Company was from Axis Bank Ltd and was mainly exposed to interest rate risk due to itsvariable interest rate borrowings. The interest rate risk arises due to uncertainties about the future marketinterest rate of these borrowings.
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, theCompany has calculated the impact of a 25 bps change in interest rates. A 25 bps increase in interest rateswould have led to approximately an additional impact of ' Nil lakh (2025-26: ' Nil lakh). A 25 bps decreasein interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
ii) Price riskExposure
The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investments in mutual funds. The price risk arisesdue to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. In order to manage its price riskarising from investments in equity instruments, the Company maintains its portfolio in accordance with theframework set by the risk management policies.
