Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a resultof past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and theamount can be reliably estimated. These are reviewed at each year end and reflect the best current estimate.Provisions are not recognised 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 likelihoodof an 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 thepresent obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present valueis a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specificto the liability. The increase 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 eventsnot 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 will be required to settle the obligation or a reliableestimate of the amount cannot be made.
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, isthe present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value ofplan assets. The liability so provided is paid to a trust administered by the Company, which in turn investsin eligible securities to meet the liability as and when it become due for payment in future. Any shortfallin the value of assets over the defined benefit obligation is recognised as a liability with a correspondingcharge to 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 haveterms approximating 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 netbalance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employeebenefit expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in other comprehensive income.They are included in retained earnings in the Statement of changes in equity and in the StandaloneBalance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments orcurtailments are 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 asan expense to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution requiredto be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The above benefits are classified asdefined contribution schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthlycontributions.
Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable within 12 months of service such as salaries, wages, bonus, ex-gratia,medical benefits, etc, are recognised in the year in which the employees render the related service and arepresented as current employee benefit obligations. Termination benefits are recognised as an expense asand when incurred.
Short-term employee benefits are provided at undiscounted amount during the accounting period basedon service 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 theperiod in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the presentvalue of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to theend of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using themarket yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the relatedobligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptionsare recognised in profit or loss.
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 shareholdersand the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for theeffects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
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 estimatesare made as the Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.Changes in estimates are reflected in the Standalone Financial Statements in the period in which changesare made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the Standalone Financial Statements.This Note provides an overview of the areas that involve a higher degree of judgements or complexityand of items that are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning outto be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates andjudgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for eachaffected 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 tangible assets: Note 1 (f)
iii) Estimation of defined benefit obligations: Note 1 (t)
iv) Impairment: Note 1 (i)
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 anyof the remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts and preferenceshares. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share.
ii) Dividend:
The dividend proposed by the Board, if any, is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuingAnnual General Meeting, except in case of interim dividend.
Refer Standalone Statement of changes in equity for detailed movement in other equity balance.
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 accordancewith the 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 generalreserve, any transfers from or to other comprehensive income, dividends or other distributions paid toshareholders.
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' 1,000 lakh to Atul Ltd (promoter) and received interest free secured loan of ' 1,128.89 lakh and interestfree unsecured loan of ' 539.58 lakh from Atul Ltd. These financial liabilities are measured at amortisedcost and the initial fair value difference is recognised as capital contribution from Atul Ltd.
i) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates
a) Compensated absences:
The compensated absences cover the liability for earned leave. Out of the total amount disclosed above,the amount of ' 0.73 lakh (March 31, 2024: ' 1.29 lakh) is presented as current, since the Companydoes not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, basedon past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accruedleave or require payment within the next 12 months.
Note 27.3 (F) Terms and conditions
1. Sales to and purchases from related parties were made on normal commercial terms and conditions andat prevailing 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.
The major components of income tax expense for the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024,are:
a) Defined contribution plansGratuity
The gratuity fund is maintained with the Life Insurance Corporation of India and Bajaj Allianz Life Insuranceunder Group Gratuity scheme. Every employee is entitled to a benefit equivalent to the last drawn salary of15 days for each completed year of service in line with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or the Companyscheme, whichever is more beneficial. Gratuity is payable at the time of separation or retirement from theCompany, whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service.
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.When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, thesame method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit creditmethod at the end of the reporting period) has been applied while calculating the defined benefit liabilityrecognised in the Standalone Balance 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 significantof which are detailed below:
i) Interest rate risk
A fall in the discount rate that is linked to the government securities rate will increase the presentvalue of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the markto market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
ii) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salariesof members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increasethe plan liability.
iii) Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate, which isdetermined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. Ifthe return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it hasa relatively balanced mix 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 adefault will wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companieshave to follow regulatory guidelines.
The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments arematching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. It has not changedthe processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, suchthat the failure of any single investment will not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.A large portion of assets consists of insurance funds; it also invests in corporate bonds and specialdeposit schemes. The plan asset mix is in compliance with the requirements of the respective localregulations.
Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2026, are' 0.06 lakh.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 10 years (2023-24: 07 years). Theexpected maturity analysis of gratuity is as follows:
Leave encashment is payable to eligible employees who have earned leaves, during the employment and| or on separation as per the policy of the Company. Valuation in respect of leave encashment has beencarried out by an independent actuary, as at the Standalone Balance Sheet date, based on the followingassumptions:
c) Defined contribution plans:
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 payrollcost to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. These funds are recognised by the income taxauthorities. The contribution of the Company to the provident fund and other contribution plans for allemployees is charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss forthe year (refer Note 23):
1Excludes investments in subsidiary company which are carried at cost and hence are not required to be disclosed as per IndAS 107 “Financial Instruments Disclosures".
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financialinstruments that are: a) recognised and measured at fair value and b) measured at amortised cost and forwhich fair values are disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements. To provide an indication about thereliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instrumentsinto the three levels prescribed in the Indian Accounting Standard. An explanation of each level followsunderneath 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 allequity instruments that are traded on the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reportingperiod.
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 observablemarket data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. The mutual fund units are valued usingthe closing net assets value. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, theinstrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument isincluded in level 3.
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 flowanalysis
c) Valuation processes
The Finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assetsand liabilities with assistance from independent external experts when required, for financial reportingpurposes, including level 3 fair values.
The business activities of the Company are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, marketrisk and credit risk. Responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework lieswith the Senior Management of the Company. The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee,which is responsible for developing and monitoring the risk management policies of the Company. The key risksand mitigating actions are also placed before the Board of the Company. The risk management policies areestablished to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controlsand to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly toreflect 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.
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 costor fair value through profit and loss and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as creditexposures to 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,for which ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of the account receivables.Historical experience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past defaultand hence the credit risk is perceived to be low.
Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, ' 260.17 lakh (March 31, 2024: ' 178.26 lakh)is due from related parties. Apart from this, the Company does not have significant credit risk exposureto any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Companydefines counterparties 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 liquidityposition of the Company and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows and managesliquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profilesof financial assets 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 Sheetdate:
i) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Maturity analysis of financial liabilities of the Company is based on contractually agreed undiscountedcash flows as at the Balance Sheet date:
Borrowings of the Company was from Axis Bank Ltd and was mainly exposed to interest rate riskdue to its variable interest rate borrowings. The interest rate risk arises due to uncertainties about thefuture market interest rate of these borrowings.
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments,the Group has calculated the impact of a 25 bps change in interest rates. A 25 bps increase in interestrates would have led to approximately an additional impact of ' Nil lakh (2023-24: ' Nil lakh). A 25bps decrease in 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 riskarises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. In order to manageits price risk arising from investments in equity instruments, the Company maintains its portfolio inaccordance with the framework set by the risk management policies.
