n) Provisions

Provisions are determined on the best estimates required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Depending
on the nature of the underlying obligation, provisions will be discounted to its present value. These are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

o) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation
that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A
contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot
be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone
financial statements.

p) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction
to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above (Refer
note 39).

q) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.

However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics
and the Company’s business model for managing them.

I n order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise
to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment
is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

Financial Assets - Business model assessment

The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level
because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information
considered includes:

• The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include
whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate
profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows
or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;

• How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company's management;

• The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model)
and how those risks are managed;

• How managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets
managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

• The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations
about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales
for this purpose, consistent with the Company's continuing recognition of the asset.

Subsequent measurement
Debt instruments at amortised cost

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or
costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses
arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and
contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies are classified as at
FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive
income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

I f the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of
investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
De-recognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s standalone balance sheet) when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the
Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case,
the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a
basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original
carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition
of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

• Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables
and bank balance;

• Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables or contract
revenue receivables.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines that whether there has been a
significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is
used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent
period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within
12 months after the reporting date.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and
all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating
the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:

• All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the
expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument
cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument;

• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its
trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade
receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are
updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement
of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head ‘other expenses’ in the P&L. The balance sheet presentation
for various financial instruments is described below:

• Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented
as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces
the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance
from the gross carrying amount;

• Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as
a liability;

• Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment allowance
is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as ‘accumulated impairment amount’ in the OCI.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared
credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit
risk to be identified on a timely basis.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and lease liabilities.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR
amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse
the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms
of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of
the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less
cumulative amortisation.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of
an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a current
enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

r) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits.

s) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

t) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision¬
maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments, has been identified as the Corporate Management Committee.

Segments are organised based on business which have similar economic characteristics as well as exhibit similarities in
nature of products and services offered, the nature of production processes, the type and class of customer and distribution

methods. Segment revenue arising from third party customers is reported on the same basis as revenue in the financial
statements. Inter-segment revenue is reported on the basis of transactions which are primarily market led.

Segment results represent profits before finance charges, unallocated corporate expenses and taxes. “Unallocated Corporate
Expenses” include revenue and expenses that relate to initiatives /costs attributable to the enterprise as a whole and are
not attributable to segments.

u) Cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the Company

The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the
distribution is authorised, and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in
India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly
in equity.

Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value re-measurement
recognised directly in equity.

Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the carrying amount
of the assets distributed is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

v) Investment in Subsidiaries and Associate

Investment in Subsidiaries and Associate are carried at cost in the separate financial statements as permitted under Ind AS
27. These investments are assessed for impairment in the manner outlined in Note 2.3(g).

w) Non-current assets held for sale

The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered
principally through a sale rather than through continuing use.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal
group), excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset or disposal
group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale/ distribution should
indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn.
Management must be committed to the sale and the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.

For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other non-current assets when the
exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or
disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary
for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The
Company treats sale of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:

• The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

• An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

• The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current
fair value,

• The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and

• Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or
that the plan will be withdrawn.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible are not depreciated, or amortised assets once classified as held for sale. Assets
and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately from other items in the balance sheet.

2.3. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
Recent accounting pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified
Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions,
applicable to the Company with effect from April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based
on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

The Board of Directors at its meeting held on September 05, 2024, approved a proposal to buyback up to 702,439 equity
shares of the Company for an aggregate amount not exceeding '7,200 lakhs, being 24.85% and 24.98% of the aggregate of
the total paid-up equity share capital and free reserves of the Company based on the audited standalone and consolidated
financial statements respectively as at March 31, 2024, at a price not exceeding '1,025 per equity share subject to approval
from shareholders. Subsequently, on October 11, 2024 the shareholders approved the buyback of equity shares and on
October 15, 2024, the buyback committee of the Board of Directors approved the final buyback price of '1,025. The record
date for determining the buyback entitlement was determined to be October 25, 2024 and the tendering period for the
buyback commenced from October 30, 2024 to November 06, 2024. The Company completed the buyback of shares by
November 12, 2024 and extinguished the shares by November 18, 2024. The Company incurred '142 lakhs as expenses
towards buyback of equity shares and accounted it as reduction from the equity during the year ended March 31, 2025.

Nature and purpose of reserves

(a) Securities premium

The amount received in excess of the face value of equity shares has been classified as securities premium. This reserve
is utilised in accordance with Section 52 of Companies Act, 2013.

(b) Retained earnings

Retained earnings represent the amount of accumulated earnings of the Company as on balance sheet date.

(c) Share based payment reserve

The share options outstanding account is used to record the fair value of equity-settled, share-based payment
transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share options outstanding account are transferred to securities
premium upon exercise of stock options and transferred to the retained earnings account to the extent of stock options
vested and not exercised by employees.

(d) Capital redemption reserve

In accordance with Section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company creates capital redemption reserve equal
to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an appropriation from the retained earnings. The reserve is utilised
in accordance with Section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013.

20 Provisions (continued)

Notes:

(a) Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF): During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company received a demand order
from Regional Commissioner of Provident Fund, on account of non- inclusion of various allowances for the calculation
of Provident Fund (PF) contribution for the period April 2012 to May 2014, which was disputed by the Company.
Pending conclusion of the related proceedings, the Honourable Supreme Court issued an order dated February 28,
2019, in a matter similar to the case involving the Company as detailed above. Subsequently, during the year 2019¬
20, the Company received demand order from PF Recovery Officer to pay ' 163 lakhs to the respective employee PF
accounts or by way of Demand Draft (DD) in favour of Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company during
the year 2019-20, obtained an interim stay on this demand. The Company has paid '163 lakhs of the demand and
' 8 lakhs of interest under protest. Company has also further remitted an additional demand of ' 10 lakhs for penalty.

There are numerous interpretative issues relating to this Supreme Court judgement. The Company based on legal
advice received and management’s evaluation and best estimate, had made a provision for the demand amount of
' 163 lakhs and for an interest of ' 73 lakhs. As a matter of prudence, the Company has also provided for ' 20 lakhs
for further periods. Based on evaluation of the Supreme Court order, the management has determined that the
position followed by it for periods subsequent to the demand (as above), i.e. from May 2014 is appropriate. Overall
the Company has accounted for a total provision is ' 256 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024. The
Company has created the above provision without prejudice to its legal rights under the Employees Provident Fund
and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.

Based on legal advice obtained and management assessment in this regard, no provision is deemed necessary towards
interest and penalty on PF demanded for employees whose details are not identifiable and with respect to the penalty
for employees, whose details are identifiable. Accordingly, interest obligation of ' 63 lakhs and damages for ' 153
lakhs respectively are disclosed as contingent liabilities as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 (refer note 36(c)).

(b) Service tax: The Company received a demand order of ' 350 lakhs along with interest and penalty from Commissioner
of Service Tax for non-payment of service tax on certain services made during the period FY 2008-09 to 2012-13.
While the liability has been confirmed by the Commissioner of Goods and Service Tax, the Company disputes the same
and has filed appeal with Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) and has deposited ' 26 lakhs
towards statutory pre-deposit for filing appeal. As a matter of prudence, the Company has provided ' 14 lakhs for
service tax demand, ' 35 lakhs for interest upto FY 2023-24 and an additional amount of ' 2 lakhs during FY 2024-25.
Overall the Company has accounted for a total provision is ' 51 lakhs as at March 31, 2025. Based on evaluation of the
technical position as well as legal advice obtained from experts, the management believes that the ultimate outcome
of this proceedings would be favourable. Accordingly, the Company has disclosed the balance demand amount of
' 336 lakhs and interest and penalty aggregating to ' 1,103 lakhs as contingent liability. (refer note 36(c)).

33 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Company’s management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The judgements, estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors including estimation of effects of uncertain future events that are considered to be relevant.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates (accounted
on a prospective basis) are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period,
or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The following are
the critical judgements and estimations that have been made by the management in the process of applying the Company’s
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and/or key
sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

(A) Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(i) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured
based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the
DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is
not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of
inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the
reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 40 for further disclosures.

(ii) Leases

The Company has entered into leases for office premises, branches and retail outlets. The Company determines
the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend
the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease,
if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies
judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or
terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise
either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there
is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not
to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.

(B) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available
when these financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company.
Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

33 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

(i) Taxes

Determining of income tax liabilities using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted
requires the management to estimate the level of tax that will be payable based upon the Company’s / expert’s
interpretation of applicable tax laws, relevant judicial pronouncements and an estimation of the likely outcome
of any open tax assessments including litigations or closures thereof.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, unabsorbed depreciation and
unused tax credits could be utilized.

In respect of other taxes which are in disputes, the management estimates the level of tax that will be payable
based upon the Company’s / expert’s interpretation of applicable tax laws, relevant judicial pronouncements and
an estimation of the likely outcome of any open tax assessments including litigations or closures thereof.

(ii) Impairment of non - financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount,
which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of
disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for
similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use
calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do
not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments
that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the
discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for
extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful
lives recognised by the Company.

(iii) Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined
using actuarial valuation. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and
mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting
date. Further details about gratuity obligations are disclosed in Note 35.

(iv) Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate
valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimation requires
determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share
option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The Black-Scholes valuation model has
been used by the management for share-based payment transactions. The assumptions and models used for
estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 34.

(v) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment

The management has estimated the useful life of its property, plant and equipment based on technical assessment.
The estimate has been supported by independent assessment by internal technical experts and review of
history of asset usage. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair
approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

33 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

(vi) Leases - estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental
borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to
pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar
value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company
‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be
adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs
(such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

38 SEGMENT REPORTING

For management purposes, the Company’s operations are organised into two major segments - Matchmaking services and
Marriage services.

Matchmaking services - The Company offers online matchmaking services on internet and mobile platforms. Matchmaking
services are delivered to users in India and the Indian diaspora through websites, mobile sites and mobile apps complemented
by a wide on-the-ground network in India.

Marriage services & others - The Company offers marriage services consisting of WeddingBazaar services, Mandap services
and Astrology services and others include new initiatives introduced during the current year which includes Many Jobs,
Wedding Loan.

The Management Committee headed by Managing Director consisting of Chief Financial Officer and Heads of Departments
have identified the above two reportable business segments. The committee monitors the operating results of its business
units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Note:

1) Considering the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) does not review segment assets and liabilities as the Marriage
services segment is significantly smaller compared to the Matchmaking segment and supplemented by the fact that the
assets are interchangeably used between segments, the Company has decided to disclose only segment results.

2) Segment revenue, segment results, and other segment disclosures include the respective amounts identifiable to each of
the segments as also amounts allocated on a reasonable basis. Those which are not allocable to a segment on reasonable
basis have been disclosed as "Unallocable".

3) The Company delivers matchmaking services to its users in India and the Indian diaspora through its websites, mobile sites
and mobile apps complemented by its on-the-ground network in India. Therefore revenue from none of the customers
exceeds 10% of Company's total revenue.

39 FAIR VALUES

Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, other
than those with carrying amounts that are reasonable approximations of fair values. The management assessed that the
cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, security
deposits, other financial assets, loans, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely
due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

40 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprise trade and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these
financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Company's operations. The Company has various financial assets such as trade
receivables, cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, investments, loans and bank balances other than cash and cash
equivalents, which arise directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Company’s senior management is supported by its Risk Committee that advises on
financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Risk Committee provides
assurance to the Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate
policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s
policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are
summarised below.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as
equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans, trade payables, FVTPL
investments and receivables.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change
in market interest rates.

The Company does not have any credit facilities from any banks or financial institutions. As a result, changes in interest
rates are not likely to substantially affect its business or results of operations.

Interest rate sensitivity

The Company does not have any credit facilities from any banks or financial institutions. As a result, changes in interest
rates are not likely to substantially affect its business or results of operations.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an expense will fluctuate because of change in
foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the

40 Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Company's operating activities (when revenue or expenses is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company's net
investment in foreign subsidiary.

The majority of the Company's revenue and expenses are in Indian Rupees, while a certain percentage of revenue is
denominated in US dollars. Based on Management's decision, the Company has not entered into foreign exchange forward
contracts to cover its foreign exchange exposure. The Company monitors the exposure due to foreign currency fluctuations
and decides to hedge based on its internal policy.

The impact of unhedged foreign currency exposure in the statement of profit and loss:

The following table demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, AED and BDT exchange rates,
with all other variables held constant. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is
not material.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities and from its financing activities,
including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. In
the matchmaking segment, the Company collects the money upfront, hence there is no credit risk. With respect to marriage
services segment the Company collects only part of the consideration as an advance before the performance of services,
thus exposed to credit risks. Credit quality of a customer cannot be assessed as the Company is largely in to Business to
Customer (B2C) model, however the Company through its established policy, procedures and control relating to credit risk
management manages the credit risk. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date and the Company has a
provisioning policy for making provision on receivables. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s treasury department in
accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and
within credit limits assigned to each counterparty so as to minimise concentration of risks and mitigate consequent financial
loss. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated
throughout the year subject to approval of the Company’s Risk Committee. The limits are set to minimise the concentration
of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk
was ' 34,883 lakhs and '38,469 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively, being the total of the
carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, investment in mutual
funds, investment in tax free bonds, loans, security deposits, trade receivable and other financial assets excluding equity
investments. Ageing of the credit impaired trade receivables is disclosed in note 11.
