(p) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event,
the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation.

The amount recognised as provision is the best
estimate of the consideration required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting
period taking into account the risk and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is
measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the
present obligation its carrying amount is the present
value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time
value of money is material).

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise
from past events and whose existence will only be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one
or more future events not wholly within the control of the
Company. Contingent Liabilities are not recognised in
the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes.

Contingent assets are disclosed where inflow of
economic benefit is probable.

33S Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life:

The Group has identified its business of Health, Hygiene products and its Services as a single Cash
Generating Unit (CGU).

The recoverable amount of the CGU has been calculated based on its value in use, estimated as the present
value of projected future cash flows.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant
industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources. Market related
information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount.

Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated
long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections
take into account past experience and represent management's best estimate about future developments.

33L The Company has not traded or invested in Crypto currency or Virtual Currency during the financial year or

The cash flow projections included specific estimates for five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter.
The terminal growth rate was determined based on management's estimate of the longterm EBITDA growth rate,
consistent with the assumptions that a market participant would make. Budgeted EBITDA was estimated taking
into account past experience, adjusted for future expectations.

The company has performed a sensitivity analysis and has concluded that there are no reasonably possible
changes to key assumptions that would cause the carrying amount of a CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

3T Exceptional items for the year ended March 31,2025 amounting to ' 507.69 lakhs pertains to the following:

damage to inventory, including raw materials, components, and finished goods. An insurance claim has
been filed to cover the losses sustained from this incident.

33U Share-based payments

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation
model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the
most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option or appreciation
right, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. For the measurement of the fair value
of equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant date, the Company uses a Black Scholes model and
Monte-Carlo simulation model basis the type of option granted. The assumptions and models used for estimating
fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 37.

33V Figures for the previous year are re-arranged/regrouped, wherever necessary, to correspond with the current
year disclosure.

33W The Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 were approved for issue by Company's Board of
Directors on May 16, 2025.

Rental expense recorded for short-term leases was ' 597.63 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2025. (Previous Year:
' 509.54 Lakhs)

I nd AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with
any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an
assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably
certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the
Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs
relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the company's operations taking
into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future
periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering
current and future economic conditions, the company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period
relating to the existing lease contracts.

The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions
occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the
assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been
calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as
applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior year.

37 Employee share option scheme expenses

A Employees Stock Option Plan (ESOP 2022)

Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

• All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 1 except for unlisted equity securities where the
fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for
counterparty or own credit risk.

• The carrying amount of Trade receivables, Trade payables, cash and Cash Equivalents are considered to be the
same as their Fair Values, due to their short term in nature.

• The Fair value of financial Instrument that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation
technique. The company uses its Judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are
mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.

40 Financial instruments - Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to market risk , liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects

on the financial performance of the Company , such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge

certain foreign currency risk exposure .

The Company's risk management is carried out by the Treasury team under policies approved by the Finance
committee. Treasury team identifies and evaluates financial risks.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, investments and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures
to customers including outstanding receivables.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. The maximum exposure to
credit risk at the reporting date was:

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of ' 6,951.06 lakhs at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: ' 5,551.79
lakhs). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank
' 6,946.63 lakhs at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: '
5,394.01 Lakhs)

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity
is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are
gross and undiscounted:

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative
instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the
amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50
basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel
and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company's:

i) profit for the year ended March 31, 2025 would decrease/increase by ' 16.16 lakhs (2024: decrease/
increase by
' 13.87 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the company's exposure to interest rates on its
variable rate borrowings.

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently
observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior year.

(d) Revenue growth along with higher efficiency on working capital improvement has resulted in an improvement in the ratio.

(e) Higher net profit after tax during the current year with higher revenue.

(f) Increase in earnings and reduction in borrowings on account of repayment.

(g) The calculation for above ratios is in accordance with formula prescribed by Guidance note on Schedule III issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants ofIndia.

(h) Capital employed = Tangible Net Worth# Total Debt Deferred Tax Liability.

# In order to derive the tangible net worth, goodwill and other intangible assets have been reduced from the total net worth.
