Provisions are recognized only when:
• an entity has a present obligation (legal orconstructive) as a result of a past event; and
• it is probable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle theobligation; and
• a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of theobligation
These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date andadjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Further, long term provisions are determined bydiscounting the expected future cash flows specific to theliability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized asfinance cost. A provision for onerous contracts is measured
at the present value of the lower of the expected costof terminating the contract and the expected net costof continuing with the contract. Before a provision isestablished, the Company recognizes any impairment losson the assets associated with that contract.
Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:
• a present obligation arising from past events, whenit is not probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation; and
• a present obligation arising from past events, whenno reliable estimate is possible.
Contingent Assets:
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financialstatements
Commitments are future liabilities for contractualexpenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
• estimated amount of contracts remaining to beexecuted on capital account and not provided for;
• uncalled liability on loan sanctioned and oninvestments partly paid; and
• other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to theextent they are considered material and relevant inthe opinion of management.
2.11 Foreign exchange transactions and translationsInitial recognition: Transactions in foreign currenciesare recognized at the prevailing exchange rates betweenthe reporting currency and a foreign currency on thetransaction date. On initial recognition, transactionsin foreign currencies entered into by the Company arerecorded in the functional currency (i.e., Indian Rupees), byapplying to the foreign currency amount, the spot exchangerate between the functional currency and foreign currencyat the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arisingon foreign exchange transactions settled during the yearare recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Companyare translated at the closing exchange rates.Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost ina foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rateat the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that aremeasured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated
probability of collecting such monies is establishedwhen the customer pays.
d) Income from securities
Gains or losses on the sale of securities are recognizedin Statement of profit and loss on trade date basis asthe difference between fair value of the considerationreceived and carrying amount of the investmentsecurities.
e) Net gain/ Loss on fair value changes
Any differences between the fair values of thefinancial assets classified at fair value through theprofit or loss, held by the Company on the BalanceSheet date is recognized as an unrealized gain/lossin the Statement of Profit and Loss. In cases there isa net gain in aggregate, the same is recognized in"Net gains on fair value changes" under income and ifthere is net loss in aggregate, the same is recognizedin "Net loss on fair value changes" under expense inthe Statement of Profit and Loss.

Revenue from financialservices are recognized by reference to the time ofservices rendered.
h) Income from de-recognition of assets:
Gains arising out of de-recognition transactionscomprise the difference between the interest onthe loan portfolio and the applicable rate at whichthe transaction is entered into with the transferee,also known as the right of excess interest spread(EIS). The future EIS basis the scheduled cash flowson execution of the transaction, discounted at theapplicable rate entered into with the transfereeis recorded upfront in the statement of profit andloss. EIS is evaluated and adjusted for expectedprepayment and other factors.
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair valueis measured. When any non-monetary foreign currencyitem is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, gainor loss on exchange fluctuation is also recorded in OtherComprehensive Income.
Exchange differences arising out of these translations arerecognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Revenue (other than those items to which Ind AS 109Financial Instruments is applicable) is measured basedon the consideration specified in the contracts with thecustomers. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net ofgoods and services tax ('GST') and amounts collected onbehalf of third parties. Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contractswith Customers outlines a single comprehensive modelof accounting for revenue arising from contracts withcustomers.
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts withcustomers based on a five-step model as set out inInd AS 115:
Step 1: Identify contract(s) with a customer: A contract isdefined as an agreement between two or more parties thatcreates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out thecriteria for every contract that must be met.
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract:A performance obligation is a promise in a contract witha customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price: The transactionprice is the amount of consideration to which the Companyexpects to be entitled in exchange for transferringpromised goods or services to a customer, excludingamounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performanceobligations in the contract: For a contract that has morethan one performance obligation, the Company allocatesthe transaction price to each performance obligation inan amount that depicts the amount of consideration towhich the Company expects to be entitled in exchangefor satisfying each performance obligation.
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Companysatisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probablethat the economic benefits will flow to the Company andthe revenue can be reliably measured and there existsreasonable certainty of its recovery. Revenue is measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivableas reduced for estimated customer credits and othersimilar allowances.
Interest income on financial asset at amortized costis recognized on a time proportion basis taking intoaccount the amount outstanding and the effectiveinterest rate ('EIR'). Interest Income is recognizedin the statement of Profit and Loss using effectiveinterest rate (EIR) on all financial assets subsequentlymeasured under amortized cost or fair value throughother comprehensive income (FVTOCI) except forthose classified as held for trading.
The calculation of EIR includes all fees paid orreceived between parties to the contract that areincremental and directly attributable to the specificlending arrangement, transaction costs, and all otherpremiums or discounts. For financial assets at FVTPLtransaction costs are recognized in profit or loss atinitial recognition.
The interest income is calculated by applying the EIRto the gross carrying amount of non-credit impairedfinancial assets (i.e., at the amortized cost of thefinancial asset before adjusting for any expectedcredit loss allowance). For credit- impaired financialassets the interest income is calculated by applyingthe EIR to the amortized cost of the credit-impairedfinancial assets. For financial assets originated orpurchased credit-impaired (POCI) the EIR reflectsECLs in determining the future cash flows expectedto be received from the financial asset.
Interest income on penal interest and tax refunds isrecognized on receipt basis.
Interest income on fixed deposit is recognized ontime proportionate basis.
Fee and commission income include fees other thanthose that are an integral part of EIR. Income fromconsultancy and commission is recognized oncompletion of relevant activity based on agreedterms of the contract.
Cheque bouncing charges, late payment charges andforeclosure charges are recognized on a point-in¬time basis, and are recorded when realized since the
Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits falling due wholly within twelvemonths of rendering the service are classified asshort-term employee benefits and are expensed in theperiod in which the employee renders the related service.Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employeebenefits are measured at the undiscounted amount ofthe benefits expected to be paid in exchange for therelated service.
Company's net obligation in respect of long-termemployee benefits is the amount of future benefit thatemployees have earned in return for their service inthe current and prior periods. Long-term employeebenefit primarily consists of Leave encashment benefitswherein employees are entitled to accumulate leavesubject to certain limits for future encashment/availment.Long-term compensated absences are provided for onthe basis of an actuarial valuation at the end of eachfinancial year using Projected Unit Credit (PUC) Method.Actuarial gains/losses, if any, are recognized immediatelyin the Statement of Profit and Loss
a) Defined contribution Plans
Provident fund: Contributions as required underthe statute, made to the Provident Fund (DefinedContribution Plan) are recognized immediately in theStatement of Profit and Loss. There is no obligationother than the monthly contribution payable to theRegional Provident Fund Commissioner.
ESIC and Labour welfare fund: The Company'scontribution paid/payable during the year toEmployee state insurance scheme and Labourwelfare fund are recognized in the Statement ofProfit and Loss.
b) Defined benefit Plans
Gratuity liability is defined benefit obligation andis provided on the basis of an actuarial valuationperformed by an independent actuary based onprojected unit credit method, at the end of eachfinancial year.
Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
i) Service cost (including current service cost,past service cost, as well as gains and losses oncurtailments and settlements)
ii) Net interest expense or income
iii) Re-measurement
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability,which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return onplan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the assetceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized in OCI,net of taxes. The Company determines the net interestexpense (income) on the net defined benefit liability(asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used tomeasure the defined benefit obligation at the beginningof the annual period to the net defined benefit liability(asset), taking into account any changes in the net definedbenefit liability (asset) during the period as a result ofcontributions and benefit payments. Net interest expenseand other expenses related to defined benefit plans arerecognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company's net obligation in respect of gratuity(defined benefit plan), is calculated by estimating theamount of future benefit that the employees haveearned in the current and prior periods, discounting thatamount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.The retirement benefit obligation recognized in theBalance Sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus inthe company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resultingfrom this calculation is recognized as an asset to the extentof present value of any economic benefits available in theform of refunds from the plans or reductions in the futurecontribution to the plans.
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees arerecognized as an expense at the fair value of equity stockoptions at the grant date. The fair value of the options hasbeen determined under the Black-Scholes model. The fairvalue of the options is treated as discount and accountedas employee compensation cost over the vesting periodon a straight-line basis. The amount recognized as expensein each year is arrived at based on the number of grantsexpected to vest.
Finance costs include interest expense computedby applying the effective interest rate on respectivefinancial instruments measured at amortized cost.Financial instruments include bank term loans, Vehicle
loans and non-convertible debentures. Finance costs arecharged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Ancillary andother borrowing costs are amortized on straight line basisover the tenure of the underlying loan.
The company's lease asset classes primarily consist ofleases for Premises. The Company at the inception of acontract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or notlease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contractconveys the right to control use of an identified asset for atime in exchange for a consideration.
The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement,whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.
The Company as a lessee
The Company assesses, whether the contract is, orcontains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if thecontract involves-
a) the use of an identified asset,
b) the right to obtain substantially all the economicbenefits from use of the identified asset, and
c) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
The Company at the inception of the lease contractrecognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and acorresponding lease liability, for all lease arrangements inwhich it is a lessee, except for leases with term of less thantwelve months (short term) and low-value assets.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extendor terminate the lease before the end of the lease term.ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these optionswhen it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The cost of the ROU assets comprises the amount ofthe initial measurement of the lease liability, any leasepayments made at or before the inception date of thelease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentivesreceived. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets ismeasured at cost less any accumulated depreciation andaccumulated impairment losses, if any. The ROU assetsare depreciated using the straight-line method from thecommencement date over the shorter of lease term oruseful life of ROU assets.
ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability wheneverevents or changes in circumstances indicate that theircarrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose
of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., thehigher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in¬use) is determined on an individual asset basis unlessthe asset does not generate cash flows that are largelyindependent of those from other assets. In such cases, therecoverable amount is determined for the Cash GeneratingUnit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures thelease liability at the present value of the lease paymentsthat are not paid at that date. The lease payments arediscounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, ifthat rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readilydetermined, the lease payments are discounted using theincremental borrowing rate.
The Company recognizes the amount of there-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment tothe ROU assets. Where the carrying amount of the ROUassets is reduced to zero and there is a further reductionin the measurement of the lease liability, the Companyrecognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurementin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
For short-term and low value leases, the Companyrecognizes the lease payments as an operating expenseon a straight-line basis over the lease term.
To mitigate its credit risks on financial assets, the Companyseeks to use collateral, where possible. The collateralcomes in various forms, such as securities, letter of credit/guarantees, receivables, inventories, other non-financialassets and credit enhancements such as nettingarrangements.
The Company provides fully secured, partially secured andunsecured loans to Corporates and individuals.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currentlypayable and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax arerecognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, exceptwhen they relate to items that are recognized in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case,the current and deferred tax are also recognized in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the year ofthe Company. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax'as reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss because ofitems of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and items that are never taxable ordeductible. The current tax is calculated using applicabletax rates that have been enacted or substantively enactedby the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differencesbetween the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities inthe Company's financial statements and the correspondingtax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized forall taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assetsare generally recognized for all deductible temporarydifferences to the extent that it is probable that taxableprofits will be available against which those deductibletemporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred taxassets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporarydifference arises from the initial recognition of assets andliabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxableprofit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporarydifferences associated with investments in subsidiaries,except where the Company is able to control the reversal oftemporary difference and it is probable that the temporarydifference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporarydifferences associated with such investments and interestsare only recognized to the extent that it is probable thatthere will be sufficient taxable profits against which toutilize the benefits of the temporary differences and theyare expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewedat the end of each reporting period and reduced to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxableprofits will be available to allow all or part of the assets tobe recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the taxrates that are expected to apply in the period in which theliability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the end of the reporting period.
Tax assets and tax liabilities are offset when there is a legallyenforceable right to set off the recognized amounts andthere is an intention to settle the asset and the liability ona net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilitiesare offset when there is a legally enforceable right to setoff tax assets against tax liabilities.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing thenet profit or loss for the year attributable to equityshareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by theweighted average number of equity shares outstandingduring the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders and the weighted average number of sharesoutstanding during the period are adjusted for the effectsof all dilutive potential equity shares.

The Company makes contributions towards PF, ESI and LWF in respect of qualifying employees. The amount recognised asan expense and included in Note 25 "Employee benefits expense " as under.
The employees of the Company are members of a retirement contribution plan operated by the government. The Companyis required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement contribution scheme to fund the benefits.The only obligation of the Company with respect to the plan is to make the specified contributions.
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan, under which every employee who has completed atleast five years of servicegets a gratuity on departure @15 days of last drawn basic salary for each completed year of service.
The plan is of a final salary defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the riskspertaining to the plan. The actuarial risks associated are:
The risk of government security yields falling due to which the corresponding discount rate used for valuing liabilities falls.Such a fall in discount rate will result in a larger value placed on the future benefit cash flows while computing the liabilityand thereby requiring higher accounting provisioning.
Longevity risks arises when the quantum of benefits payable under the plan is based on how long the employee lives postcessation of service with the Company. The gratuity plan provides the benefit in a lump sum form and since the benefit is notpayable as an annuity for the rest of the lives of the employees, there is no longevity risks.
Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
The gratuity benefits under the plan are related to the employee's last drawn salary. Consequently, any unusual rise in futuresalary of the employee raises the quantum of benefit payable by the company, which results in a higher liability for thecompany and is therefore a plan risk for the Company.
The estimates of the future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, include inflation, seniority, promotion and otherrelevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. The discount rate is based on the prevailing marketyield on government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated average remaining service.
Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequentvaluations can impact plan's liability.
ii) Since the gratuity plan and Leave encashment plan of the Company is not funded, and hence the disclosure related toplan assets are not applicable.

The Company's risk management committee overseeshow management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews theadequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to setappropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems arereviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from its business operations:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a customer or counterparty fails to meet an obligation under a contract. Lending activitiesaccount for most of the Company's credit risk. Other sources of credit risk also exist in loans and transaction settlements.Credit risk is measured as the amount that could be lost if a customer or counterparty fails to make repayments.The maximum exposure to credit risk in case of all the financial instruments is restricted to their respective carrying amount.Credit risk is monitored through stringent credit appraisal, counter party limits and internal risk ranges of theborrowers. Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of all the customers andcounterparties to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing lending limits where appropriate.Company primarily offers loans secured by immovable property. In order to mitigate credit risk, company also seeks collateralappropriate to the product segment. Other means of mitigating credit risk that the company uses are guarantees. The mostcommon types of collateral the company receives, measured by collateral value, are mortgages on financial assets in the formof Residential/Commercial property.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances existing on that dateto identify expected losses on account of time value of money and credit risk. The credit quality of Loans and advancesmeasured at amortised cost is primarily assessed by the Days Past Due (DPD) status.
Inputs, assumptions and techniques used for estimating impairment
In assessing the impairment of financial assets under the expected credit loss model, the Company defines default whena loan obligation is overdue for more than 90 days.
When determining whether the risk of default has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company considersthe DPD status of the loans. Credit risk is deemed to have increased significantly when an asset is more than 30 dayspast due (DPD)
The key elements in calculation of ECL are as follows:
PD - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may onlyhappen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in theportfolio.
EAD - The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expectedchanges in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled bycontract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, accrued interest from missed payments and loancommitments.
LGD - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is basedon the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, includingfrom the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The LGD is determined based onvaluation of collaterals and other relevant factors.
For PD the Company has relied upon the PD data from industry benchmarks and external rating agencies. For Loss GivenDefault (LGD) the Company has relied on internal and external information.
Policy for Write off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written-off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is noreasonable expectation of recovering the asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when theCompany determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cashflows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off and when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery from thecollaterals held. However, financial assets that are written-off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order tocomply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due.
The Company uses 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets measured at amortisedcost. Company follows a 'three-stage' model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition.Refer to the accounting policy for details.
The Company would generally have its credit exposures backed by securities, either primary or collateral. Lending Policyof the Company prescribes Asset cover norms and collateral guidelines for its various product offering. The amountand type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty and product offered.The Company grants loans against collateral of immovable property (Land, Under construction projects, Ready property)including commercial and residential properties.
As collateral is a source of mitigating credit risk, assessment of the condition of the securities and their value is undertakenon regular basis. There were no significant changes in the collateral policy of the company during the Financial Year2024-2025.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financialliabilities that are selected by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company's approach to managing liquidityis to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under bothnormal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.The Company has in place an Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) which functions as the operational unit formanaging the Balance Sheet within the performance and risk parameters laid down by the Board and Risk Committee ofthe Board. ALCO reviews Asset Liability strategy and Balance Sheet management in relation to asset and liability profile.ALCO ensures that the objectives of liquidity management are met by monitoring the gaps in the various time buckets,deciding on the source and mix of liabilities, setting the maturity profile of the incremental assets and liabilities etc.Key principles adopted in the Company's approach to managing liquidity risk include:
a) Monitoring the Company's liquidity position on a regular basis, using a combination of contractual and behavioralmodelling of balance sheet and cash flow information
b) Maintaining a high quality liquid asset portfolio or maintaining undrawn bank lines
c) Operating a prudent funding strategy which ensures appropriate diversification and limits maturity concentrations
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, undrawn cash credit & overdraft facilities fromBanks, liquid asset portfolio like Mutual funds and the cash flow that is generated from operation.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross andundiscounted, and include interest accrued till the reporting date.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in marketvariables such as interest rates risk and foreign currency risk.
The Company primarily deploys funds in bank deposits and liquid debt securities as a part of its liquidity managementapproach.
