g) Provisions
The Company recognizes a provision when: it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a resultof past events; it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and theamount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
h) Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheetdate. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurementis based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes placeeither:
♦ 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 woulduse when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic bestinterest.
i) Financial Instruments
(i) Financial Assets & Financial LiabilitiesInitial recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially at fair value.
In the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs thatare attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset is treated as cost of acquisition. Purchases orsales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulationor convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., thedate that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
♦ Debt instruments at amortised cost
♦ Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
♦ Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
♦ Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method,except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequentlymeasured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within oneyear from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the shortmaturity of these instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated withits assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whetherthere has been a significant increase in credit risk. The Explanatory Notes details how the entitydetermines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables only,the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, whichrequires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.”
Derecognition of financial instruments
A financial asset is derecognised only when
* The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
* retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes acontractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the group evaluates whether it has transferredsubstantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, thefinancial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risksand rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks andrewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the group has notretained control of the financial asset. Where the group retains control of the financial asset, theasset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company’s BalanceSheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(ii) Investments in associates
Investments in associates are carried at cost in the Separate Financial Statements.
j) Revenue Recognition
i) Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theCompany and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is beingmade. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, takinginto account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected onbehalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenuearrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricinglatitude and is also exposed to credit risks. The specific recognition criteria described below mustalso be met before revenue is recognised.
Manpower Services
Revenue from manpower services is accounted at a point in time on accrual basis on performanceof the services agreed in the contract with the customers.
Interest Income
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using theeffective interest rate (EIR). The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cashreceipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate,to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the
Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financialinstrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in financeincome in the statement of profit or loss.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established,which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
k) Taxes
Tax expenses comprise Current Tax and Deferred Tax.:
i) Current Tax:
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxableincome based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferredtax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The currentincome tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at theend of the reporting period in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries and associatesoperate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in taxreturns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Itestablishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the taxauthorities.
ii) Deferred Tax:
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arisingbetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalonefinancial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from theinitial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initialrecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the timeof the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred incometax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted bythe end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income taxasset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognisedfor all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that futuretaxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Current anddeferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognisedin other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in othercomprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
For items recognised in OCI or equity, deferred / current tax is also recognised in OCI or equity.
iii) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit:
The Company has opted for income tax under Section 115BAA of the Income tax act, 1961. Asper provisions of the Act, the domestic companies opting for section 115BAA will not be ableto claim MAT credits for taxes paid under MAT during the tax holiday period. The companieswould not be able to reduce their tax liabilities under section 115BAA by claiming MAT credits.Therefore, the Company has reversed all the MAT credit during the year 2020-21.
l) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss before OCI for the year by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating dilutedearnings per share, the net profit or loss before OCI for the period attributable to equity shareholders andthe weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of alldilutive potential equity shares.
m) Dividend Distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s equity holders is recognized as a liability in the Company’sannual accounts in the year in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s equity holders.
n) Foreign exchange transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of therespective transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled duringthe year are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date aretranslated at the closing exchange rates on that date, the resultant exchange differences are recognisedin the statement of profit and loss.
o) Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified asshort-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and other benefits. Theundiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits to be paid in exchange for employee services isrecognised as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees.”
Post-employment benefits
i. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan where the company makes specifiedmonthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered providentfund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company’s contribution is recognised as anexpense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders therelated service.
ii. Defined benefit plans -Gratuity
In accordance with the applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, defined benefitretirement plan (“the Gratuity plan”) covering eligible employees. The Gratuity plan provides alump-sum payment to eligible employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination ofemployment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment.Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by anindependent actuary, at each reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gainsand losses are recognised in full in the other comprehensive income for the period in which theyoccur. Current service cost and the interest cost on obligation related to defined benefit plans arerecognised in the statement of profit or loss.
p) Share based payments
Equity settled share-based payment transactions:
The Company operates equity settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees. All servicesreceived in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment are measured at their fair values onthe grant date and is recognised as an employee expense, in the profit or loss with a correspondingincrease in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.The increase in equity recognised in connection with share-based payment transaction is presented asa separate component in equity under “Employee stock options / Employee stock appreciation rights”.
The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
Grant date is the date when the Company and employees have shared an understanding of terms andconditions on the arrangement.
Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair value of employees’ servicesis determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. This fair valueis appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for exampleprofitability and sales growth). All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense inthe profit or loss. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over thevesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest.Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that areexpected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that thenumber of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to cumulativeshare-based compensation resulting from a revision is recognised in the current period. The numberof vested options ultimately exercised by holder does not impact the expense recorded in any period.Market conditions are taken into account when estimating the fair value of the equity instruments granted.Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs,are allocated to share capital up to the nominal (or par) value of the shares issued with any excess beingrecorded as share premium.
q) Leases
The following is the summary of the new and/or revised significant accounting policies related to Leases.The Company, as a lessee, recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for its leasingarrangements, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset.The contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, if it involves the use of anidentified asset and the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the assetand has right to direct the use of the identified asset. The cost of the right-of-use asset shall compriseof the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments madeat or before the commencement date plus any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use assets issubsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses,if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciatedusing the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful lifeof right-of-use asset.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid atthe commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicitin the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Groupuses incremental borrowing rate.
For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operatingexpense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
A Expected Credit Loss:
Trade receivables and unbilled revenue are unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarilylocated in India. Periodically, the Company evaluates all customer dues to the Company for collectability. The need forimpairment is assessed based on various factors including collectability of specific dues, risk perceptions of the industry inwhich the customers operates, general economic factors, which could affect the customer's ability to settle. More than 95%of the Company's customers have been transacting with the Company for over five years and none of these customers'balance are credit impaired. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on invoice wise receivable balances.The Life time credit loss write off during the year arises more out of the disputes or charges rather than credit impairment.
Since the Company Calculates impairment under the simplified approach the Company does not track the changes incredit risk of trade receivables the impairment amount represents lifetime expected credit loss. Hence the additionaldisclosures in trade receivables for changes in credit risk and credit impaired trade receivable are not disclosed.

a) Disclosure in accordance with Ind AS - 19 “Employee Benefits”, of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,2015.
The company has carried out the actuarial valuation of Gratuity liability under actuarial principle, in accordance with IndAS 19 - Employee Benefits.
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan under which employees who have completed five years or more of service are entitled togratuity on departure from employment at an amount equivalent to 15 days salary (based on last drawn salary) for eachcompleted year of service restricted to ' 20 lakhs. The Company’s gratuity liability is Funded.
A Actuarial Risk
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected.This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into anincrease in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the GratuityBenefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration ofcash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discountrate.
B Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be thefair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the futurediscount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes inthe discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. Ifsome of such employees resign/retire from the company there can be strain on the cashflows.
D Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. Oneactuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money.An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. Thisassumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed tofluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefitsto the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to berecognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.

26 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The financial statements require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosures ofcontingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods .
Judgements
In the process of applying the company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, whichhave the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the separate financial statements.
Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount ofdeferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits togetherwith future tax planning strategies.
28 Fair Value Hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are
(a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in thefinancial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group hasclassified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each levelfollows underneath the table.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
29 Financial risk factors
Risk management framework
The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s riskmanagement framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks facedby the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk managementpolicies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. TheCompany, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructivecontrol environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its contractual obligations under a financial instrument or customercontract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily tradereceivables) and loans receivables, investments and other financial instruments.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Theobjective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available to meet itsliabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damageto the Company’s reputation. The Company monitors its risk of a shortage of funds on a regular basis. The Company’sobjective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash credit facilities.
(c) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Financial instrumentsaffected by market risks include trade receivable and trade payable.
i. Interest rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have significant debt obligation with floatinginterest rates, hence is not exposed to any significant interest rate risks.
ii. Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because ofchanges in foreign currency rates. The Company does not have significant foreign currency exposure and hence isnot exposed to any significant foreign currency risks.
30 Capital management
For the purpose of the company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reservesattributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the company’s capital management is to maximise theshareholder value.
The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and therequirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the dividendpayment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The company monitors capital using a gearingratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The company includes within net debt, short term borrowings,trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.
35 Effective November 21, 2025, the Government of India (GoI) has consolidated multiple existing labour legislationsinto a unified framework comprising four labour codes collectively referred to as the ‘The New Labour Codes’. TheCompany has done actuarial valuation of Gratuity as on 31st March 2026. On the basis of Actuarial Valuation TheCompany has disclosed the incremental impact of these changes, which has resulted an increase in gratuity liabilityby ' 147.75 Lacs and the same has been recognised as an exceptional item in the current reporting period. Incase of associate employees i.e. billable employees, the Company is of the view that these costs are contractuallyrecoverable from customers and therefore do not have any impact on the statement of profit and loss for the period.The GoI is in the process of notifying rules related to the New Labour Codes and impact of these will be evaluated andaccounted for in accordance with the applicable Indian accounting standards in the period in which they are notified.
36 During the year ended 31st March 2026, the Company reviewed the requirement of maintaining the GratuityRetention Balance in view of the implementation of the New Labour Code and considering that adequate provisionfor gratuity liability has already been made based on actuarial valuation carried out in accordance with applicableaccounting standards. Accordingly, the Company has written back the Gratuity Retention Balance amounting to '114.02 Lakhs, and the same has been disclosed as an Exceptional Item in the current reporting period.
