xiv. Provisions and Contingent liabilitiesProvisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation and a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation. The expenserelating to a provision is presented in the statementof profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific tothe liability. When discounting is used, the increase inthe provision due to the passage of time is recognizedas a finance cost.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arisesfrom past events and the existence of which will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrenceof one are more uncertain future events not whollywithin the control of the Company, or is a presentobligation that arises from past event but is notrecognized because either it is not probable that anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation, or a reliableestimate of the amount of the obligation cannot bemade. Contingent liabilities are disclosed and notrecognized.
xv. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives riseto a financial asset of one entity and a financial liabilityor equity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition,as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fairvalue through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI),and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Theclassification of financial assets at initial recognitiondepends on the financial asset's contractual cashflow characteristics and the Company's businessmodel for managing them.
All financial assets, except in case of financial assetsrecorded at fair value through profit or loss, arerecognized initially at fair value plus transaction coststhat are attributable to the acquisition of the financialasset. Transaction costs of financial assets carriedat fair value through profit or loss expensed off in thestatement of profit and loss. Trade receivables thatdoes not contain a significant financing componentare measured at transaction price.
In order for a financial asset to be classified andmeasured at amortised cost or FVTOCI, it needs togive rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments ofprincipal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amountoutstanding. This assessment is referred to as theSPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI areclassified and measured at fair value through profit orloss, irrespective of the business model.
The Company's business model for managingfinancial assets refers to how it manages its financialassets in order to generate cash flows. The businessmodel determines whether cash flows will resultfrom collecting contractual cash flows, selling thefinancial assets, or both. Financial assets classifiedand measured at amortised cost are held within abusiness model with the objective to hold financialassets in order to collect contractual cash flows whilefinancial assets classified and measured at FVTOCIare held within a business model with the objective
of both holding to collect contractual cash flows andselling.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that requiredelivery of assets within a time frame established byregulation or convention in the market place (regularway trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., thedate that the Company commits to purchase or sellthe asset.
Subsequent measurement of debt instrumentsdepends on the Company's business model formanaging the asset and the cash flow characteristicsof the asset. There are three measurementcategories into which the Company classifies its debtinstruments:
• Amortised cost: Financial assets that areheld for collection of contractual cash flowsthat represent solely payments of principaland interest are measured at amortised cost.Interest income from these financial assets isincluded in interest income using the effectiveinterest rate (EIR) method. Any gain or lossarising on derecognition and impairment losses(if any) are recognized directly in the statementof profit and loss. The Company's financialassets subsequently measured at amortised costincludes trade receivables, loans and certainother financial assets etc.
• Fair value through other comprehensiveincome (FVTOCI): Financial assets that are heldfor collection of contractual cash flows and forselling, where the assets' cash flows representsolely payments of principal and interest, aremeasured at FVTOCI. Movements in the carryingamount are taken through OCI except for therecognition of impairment gains or losses,interest income and foreign exchange gains andlosses which are recognized in the statement
of profit and loss. When the financial assetis derecognized, the cumulative gain or losspreviously recognized in OCI is reclassified fromOCI to statement of profit and loss.
• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Financial assets that do not meet the criteriafor amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured atfair value through profit or loss. Changes in thefair value, interest income, dividend incomeand foreign exchange gains and losses of thefinancial assets at fair value through profit orloss are recognized in the statement of profit andloss. A gain or loss on the derecognition of debtinvestment that is subsequently measured at fairvalue through profit or loss is also recognized inthe statement of profit and loss.
Equity instruments: Any equity instrument in thescope of Ind AS 109 is subsequently measured at fairvalue through profit or loss. However, the Companymay make an irrevocable election to presentsubsequent changes in the fair value in OCI (if aninstrument is not held for trading). The Companymakes such election on an instrument-by-instrumentbasis
Where the Company's management has electedto present fair value gains and losses on equityinvestments in OCI, there is no subsequentreclassification of fair value gains and losses to profitor loss following the derecognition of the investment.Dividends from such investments are recognized inthe statement of profit and loss when the Company'sright to receive payments is established. FVTOCI
Changes in the fair value and dividend income ofequity instruments subsequently measured at FVTPLare recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company has made an irrevocable election topresent subsequent changes in the fair value ofcertain investments in equity instruments not heldfor trading in other comprehensive income.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of afinancial asset or part of a group of similar financialassets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed fromthe Company's balance sheet) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the assethave expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receivecash flows from the asset or has assumed anobligation to pay the received cash flows in fullwithout material delay to a third party under a'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) theCompany has transferred substantially all therisks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Companyhas neither transferred nor retained substantiallyall the risks and rewards of the asset, but hastransferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights toreceive cash flows from an asset or has entered intoa pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and towhat extent it has retained the risks and rewardsof ownership. When it has neither transferred norretained substantially all of the risks and rewards ofthe asset, nor transferred control of the asset, theCompany continues to recognize the transferredasset to the extent of the Company's continuinginvolvement. In that case, the Company alsorecognizes an associated liability. The transferredasset and the associated liability are measured on abasis that reflects the rights and obligations that theCompany has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of aguarantee over the transferred asset is measured atthe lower of the original carrying amount of the assetand the maximum amount of consideration that theCompany could be required to repay.
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basisthe expected credit losses ("ECL") associated withits financial assets carried at amortised cost andFVTOCI debt instruments. Different impairmentmethodologies are applied depending on whetherthere has been a significant increase in credit risk ornot. For trade receivables and contract assets, theCompany applies the simplified approach requiredby Ind AS 109, which requires expected lifetimelosses to be recognized from initial recognition of thereceivables.
The application of simplified approach does notrequire the Company to track changes in credit risk.Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance basedon lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right fromits initial recognition. The Company has establisheda provision matrix that is based on its historicalcredit loss experience, adjusted for forward-lookingfactors specific to the debtors and the economicenvironment.
At each reporting date, for recognition of impairmentloss on other financial assets and risk exposure,the Company determines whether there has beena significant increase in the credit risk sinceinitial recognition. If credit risk has not increasedsignificantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide forimpairment loss. However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequentperiod, credit quality of the instrument improvessuch that there is no longer a significant increase incredit risk since initial recognition, then the Companyreverts to recognising impairment loss allowancebased on 12-month ECL.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)recognized during the year is recognized as income/expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition,as subsequently measured at amortised cost or fairvalue through profit or loss, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fairvalue. Financial liabilities measured at amortised costare recorded net of directly attributable transactioncosts.
The Company's financial liabilities include tradepayables, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends ontheir classification, as described below:
After initial recognition, these liabilities aresubsequently measured at amortised cost using theEIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in thestatement of profit and loss when the liabilities arederecognized as well as through the EIR amortisationprocess.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into accountany discount or premium on acquisition and feesor costs that are an integral part of the EIR. TheEIR amortisation is included as finance costs in thestatement of profit and loss. This category generallyapplies to trade payables, lease liabilities and otherfinancial liabilities.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossinclude financial liabilities held for trading or financialliabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fairvalue through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for tradingif they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasingin the near term.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading arerecognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initialrecognition at fair value through profit or loss aredesignated as such at the initial date of recognition,and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied.For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit riskare recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are notsubsequently transferred to P&L. However, theCompany may transfer the cumulative gain or losswithin equity. All other changes in fair value of suchliability are recognized in the statement of profit andloss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligationunder the liability is discharged or cancelled orexpires. When an existing financial liability is replacedby another from the same lender on substantiallydifferent terms, or the terms of an existing liabilityare substantially modified, such an exchange ormodification is treated as the derecognition of theoriginal liability and the recognition of a new liability.The difference in the respective carrying amounts isrecognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset,and the net amount is reported in the balance sheetif there is a currently enforceable legal right to offsetthe recognized amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settlethe liabilities simultaneously.
xvi. Impairment of non-financial assets(including investments in subsidiaries measuredat cost)
The Company assesses at each reporting date,whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any indication exists, or when annualimpairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount.Recoverable amount is determined for an individualasset, unless the asset does not generate cashinflows that are largely independent of those fromother assets or groups of assets. An asset's or cash¬generating unit's (CGU) recoverable amount is thehigher of its fair value less costs of disposal and itsvalue in use. When the carrying amount of an assetor CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the assetis considered impaired and is written down to itsrecoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cashflows are discounted to their present value using apre-tax discount rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risksspecific to the asset or CGU.
In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recentmarket transactions are taken into account. If nosuch transactions can be identified, an appropriatevaluation model is used. These calculations arecorroborated by valuation multiples, quoted shareprices for publicly traded companies or other availablefair value indicators.
The Company bases its impairment calculation ondetailed budgets and forecast calculations, which areprepared separately for each of the Company's CGUsto which the individual assets are allocated. Thesebudgets and forecast calculations generally cover aperiod of five to ten years as the Company believes thisto be the most appropriate timescale for reviewingand considering annual performance before applyinga fixed terminal growth rate to the final cash flows.To estimate cash flow projections beyond yearscovered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, theCompany extrapolates cash flow projections in thebudget using a steady or declining growth rate forsubsequent years, unless an increasing rate can bejustified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceedthe long-term average growth rate for the products,
industries, or country or countries in which the entityoperates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
Impairment losses are recognized in the statementof profit and loss.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwillacquired in a business combination is, allocated tocash-generating units that are expected to benefitfrom the combination, irrespective of whether otherassets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned tothose units.
A cash generating unit to which goodwill has beenallocated is tested for impairment annually, or morefrequently when there is an indication that the unitmay be impaired. For the businesses, which are similarin nature, the Company considers such businessesas one cash generating unit for the purpose ofimpairment testing of goodwill.
If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than itscarrying amount, the impairment loss is allocatedfirst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwillallocated to the unit and then to the other assets ofthe unit pro rata based on the carrying amount ofeach asset in the unit.
For the purpose of impairment testing of Goodwillin relation to Uber Eats Business acquisition, theCompany has considered the business of UberEats acquisition and Zomato business as one cashgenerating unit as nature of both business is same.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is madeat each reporting date to determine whether there isan indication that previously recognized impairmentlosses no longer exist or have decreased. If suchindication exists, the Company estimates the asset'sor CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognizedimpairment loss is reversed only if there has been achange in the assumptions used to determine theasset's recoverable amount since the last impairmentloss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that
the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed itsrecoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amountthat would have been determined, net of depreciation,had no impairment loss been recognized for theasset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized inthe statement of profit and loss unless the assetis carried at a revalued amount, in which case, thereversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
xvii. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheetcomprise cash at banks and on hand and short-termdeposits with an original maturity of three monthsor less, which are subject to an insignificant risk ofchanges in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cashand cash equivalents consist of cash and short-termdeposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bankoverdrafts (if any) as they are considered an integralpart of the Company's cash management.
xviii. Treasury shares
The Company has created an Employee BenefitTrust (EBT). The Company uses EBT as a vehicle fordistributing shares to employees under the employeestock option schemes. The Company treats EBT asits extension and shares held by EBT are treated astreasury shares.
Own equity instruments that are held by the trust arerecognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gainor loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase,sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's ownequity instruments. Any difference between thecarrying amount and the consideration, if reissued,is recognized in the other equity.
xix. Events occurring after the balance sheetdate
Based on the nature of the event, the Companyidentifies the events occurring between the balance
sheet date and the date on which the standalonefinancial statements are approved as 'AdjustingEvent' and 'Non-adjusting event'. Adjustments toassets and liabilities are made for events occurringafter the balance sheet date that provide additionalinformation materially affecting the determinationof the amounts relating to conditions existing atthe balance sheet date or because of statutoryrequirements or because of their special nature. Fornon-adjusting events, the Company may provide adisclosure in the standalone financial statementsconsidering the nature of the transaction.
2.3 Estimates and critical judgements
The estimates and judgements used in thepreparation of these standalone financial statementsare continuously evaluated by the Company, and arebased on historical experience and various otherassumptions and factors (including expectationsof future events), that the Company believes to bereasonable under the existing circumstances. Thesaid estimates and judgements are based on the factsand events, that existed as at the reporting date, orthat occurred after that date but provided additionalevidence about conditions existing as at the reportingdate.
Although the Company regularly assesses theseestimates, actual results could differ materiallyfrom these estimates - even if the assumptionsunderlying such estimates were reasonable whenmade. The changes in estimates are recognized in thestandalone financial statements in the year in whichthey become known if the revision affects only thatyear, or in the year of the revision and future yearsif the revision affects both current and future years.
2.3.1 Estimates:
The estimates and assumptions that have a significantrisk of causing a material adjustment to the carryingvalues of assets and liabilities are discussed below:
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan andthe present value of the gratuity obligation aredetermined using actuarial valuations. An actuarialvaluation involves making various assumptions thatmay differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discountrate, future salary increases and mortality rates.Due to the complexities involved in the valuation andits long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation ishighly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. Allassumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discountrate. In determining the appropriate discount ratefor plans operated, the management considers theinterest rates of government bonds in currenciesconsistent with the currencies of the post¬employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly availablemortality table. The mortality table tend to changeonly at interval in response to demographic changes.Future salary increases and gratuity increases arebased on expected future inflation rates.
When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets,their fair value is measured using valuation techniquesand inputs to be used. The inputs to these modelsare taken from observable markets where possible,but where this is not feasible, a degree of estimatesand judgements are required in establishing fairvalues. These estimates and judgements includeconsiderations of inputs such as liquidity risk, creditrisk and volatility. Changes in these factors couldaffect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Goodwill recognized on business combination istested for impairment on annual basis or wheneverthere is an indication that the recoverable amount of
the cash generating unit (CGU), to which such Goodwillis allocated, is less than the carrying amount. Thecalculation of value in use of a CGU involves use ofsignificant estimates including future economic andmarket conditions.
The Company asses the carrying amounts ofinvestment in subsidiaries to determine whetherthere is any indication that those investments havesuffered an impairment loss. Where the carryingamount of investments exceeds its recoverableamount, the investment is considered impairedand is written down to its recoverable amount. Animpairment loss (if any) is recognized in statement ofprofit and loss.
2.3.2 Critical judgements in applying theCompany's accounting policies:
The critical judgements which the managementhas made in the process of applying the Company'saccounting policies and have the most significantimpact on the amounts recognized in these standalonefinancial statements are discussed below:
When the Company invests in an entity, it also assesseswhether it has significant influence over the investee.Significant influence is the power to participate inthe financial and operating policy decisions of theinvestee but does not constitute control or jointcontrol over those policies. The Company exercisessignificant judgment in order to assess whether it hassignificant influence over the investee or not.
User incentives
As disclosed in note 2.2 (x), the Company providesincentives to its transacting users in various formsincluding credits and direct payment discounts topromote traffic on its platform. All incentives givento the users, where the Company consider user asits customer, are recorded as a reduction of revenueto the extent of the revenue earned by the Companyfrom that user on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
The amount of incentives in excess of the revenueearned from the transacting users is recordedas advertisement and sales promotion expense.Management exercises significant judgement todetermine whether the incentives are, in substance,payments on behalf of the restaurant partners andshould therefore be recorded as a reduction ofrevenue earned by the Company from the restaurantpartners or recorded as advertisement and salespromotion expense. Some of the factors consideredin management's evaluation of such incentivesinclude whether the incentives are given at theCompany's discretion, contractual agreements withthe restaurant merchants, business strategy andobjectives and design of the incentive program(s),etc.
Deferred tax asset (DTA) is recognized only whenand to the extent there is convincing evidence thatthe Company will have sufficient taxable profits infuture against which such assets can be utilized.Significant management judgment is required todetermine the amount of deferred tax assets that canbe recognized, based upon the likely timing and thelevel of future taxable profits together with future taxplanning strategies, recent business performanceand developments.
Impairment of Goodwill -
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the cash generatingunit (CGU), which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually.Impairment is recognised, when the carrying amount of cash generating units (CGU) including goodwill, exceeds theestimated recoverable amount of CGU. The Company's CGU containing goodwill is India food ordering and delivery(Goodwill: INR 1,209 crore)
The recoverable amount of India food ordering and delivery CGU is determined based on market value of the Company.Theestimated recoverable amount of CGU exceeded its carrying amount and accordingly, no impairment was recognized. Noreasonable possible change in the inputs (used for recoverable value calculation) would cause the recoverable amountof the above CGU to fall shorter than their carrying value.

please refer note 27
13 (c) Nature and purpose of Reserves:
Capital reserve
The Company recognises profit or loss on purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equityinstruments to capital reserve.
Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordancewith the provisions of section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Share based payment reserve
The share based payment reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value of options issued to employeesunder Employee stock option plan.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings represent the net profit or (loss) accumulated by the Company till date, adjusted forany distributions made to shareholders and any transfers from Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) orreclassification/adjustments within the other equity, as per applicable accounting framework.
Includes amount transferred from Share based payment reserve at the time of exercise of employee stockoptions amounting to INR 2,490 crore and INR 1,820 crore as at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 respectively.The same is not available for distribution of dividend.
Treasury shares
Own equity instruments that are held by the ESOP Trust are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. Nogain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation ofthe Company's own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration,if reissued/transferred, is recognised in equity.
Business transfer adjustment reserve
The Company has accounted for the business transfer of Carthero Technologies Private Limited ("CTPL") tothe Company under 'pooling of interest' method. Consequently, investment of the company in CTPL, sharecapital of CTPL has been cancelled. The difference between the net assets acquired and the value of sharesand investment so cancelled has been recognized in Business Transfer Adjustment Reserve. From utilisationperspective, this is akin to debit balance in retained earnings.
Remeasurements of the defined benefit plans
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, excluding amounts included in net interest onthe net defined benefit liability and reimbursement right are recognised immediately in the OCI in the periodin which they occur. They are then accumulated in a separate reserve named as "Remeasurement of definedbenefit plans". These amounts are not reclassified to statement of profit and loss in subsequent years.
Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensiveincome and are accumulated in exchange differences on translation of foreign operations. The cumulativeamount is reclassified to profit or loss when the foreign operations are disposed off.
Equity instruments through other comprehensive income
The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity instruments inother comprehensive income. These fair value changes are accumulated in "Equity instruments through othercomprehensive income" within other equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retainedearnings when the relevant equity instruments are derecognised.
Debt instruments through other comprehensive income
Debt instruments through other comprehensive income represents the cumulative gains (net of losses) arisingon fair valuation of debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, net ofamounts reclassified, if any, to profit or loss when those instruments are derecognised.
- During the previous year ended March 31, 2025, the Company had recognised an impairment loss of INR3 crore on its investments in Eternal Technology Solutions Limited (ETSL) (formerly known as ZomatoFinancial Services Limited (ZFSL)), (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as it had voluntarilywithdrawn its application for a Non-Banking Financial Company (Type II NBFC-ND) registration, whichwas accepted by the RBI.
- During the previous year ended March 31, 2025, in addition to above, the Company had recognised animpairment loss of INR 8 crore on its investment in Zomato Local Services Private Limited ("ZLSPL"), (awholly owned subsidiary of the Company).

26 Employee benefits obligationa) Defined benefit obligations (Gratuity)
(i) The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Effective November 21, 2025, the gratuity plan of India isgoverned by the Code on Social Security, 2020 (replacing the existing Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972) andthe gratuity plan of United Arab Emirates is governed by the United Arab Emirates Labour Law. Under theCode on Social Security, 2020, employee who has completed five years of service (one year in case of FixedTerm Employee) is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the employee'slength of service and salary at retirement age.
The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact ondefined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end ofthe reporting date.
The average remaining future service at the end of the reporting year is 26.74 - 30.50 years (March 31,2025: 28.25 - 30.44 years).
The weighted average duration of defined benefit obligation, at the end of the reporting year is 4.00 - 7.00years (March 31, 2025: 4.00 - 5.00 years).
A part of defined benefit obligation is invested in an appropriate investment product of an InsuranceCompany (Gratuity Insurance / Investment Plan) and is recognized as having 'reimbursement right' as perInd AS 19.The Gratuity Insurance/Investment Plan is treated as a separate asset measured at fair valueand is not offset against the defined benefit obligation.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at March 31, 2026 was7.07 years (March 31, 2025 : 7.03 years)
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was for ESOP 2014 and ESOP 2018 is INR16,55,038 (March 31, 2025 : INR 13,33,125). For ESOP 2021, ESOP 2022 and ESOP 2024 is INR 275 (March 31,2025 : INR 220)

Various commercial premises are leased by the Company such as office buildings for its business operations.Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognized and the movements during the year:
(b) Fair value hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instrumentsby valuation technique using:
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).
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the year ended March
31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
The following methods / assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents,trade receivables, loans, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities approximatetheir fair value mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
ii) Fair value of quoted mutual funds is based on the last available Net assets value ("NAV") as at the reportingdate.
iii) The fair values of the unquoted investments in Equity instruments have been estimated using one ormore of the valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow method ("DCF"), comparable companiesmultiples method ("CCM"), comparable companies transactions multiples method ("CTM"), net asset value("NAV") method and backsolve method.
iv) The investments in Government securities and debentures or bonds are valued by referring to marketinputs including quotes, trades, poll, primary issuances for securities and /or underlying securities issuedby the same or similar issuer for similar maturities and movement in benchmark security, etc.
(c) Financial risk managementFinancial risk factors
The Company's activities exposes it to a variety of financial risks namely market risk, credit risk and liquidityrisk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimisepotential adverse effects on its financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by senior management for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables,investments, deposits with banks and NBFC, foreign currency risk exposure and liquidity risk.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currencyrisk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. The Company ensures optimisation ofcash through fund planning and robust cash management practices.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates. The Company's investments are predominantly held in governmentsecurities, debenture or bonds, bank and NBFC deposits and mutual funds.
Investment in bank and NBFC deposits and certain government securities are measured at amortised costand are fixed interest rate bearing instruments and hence not subject to interest rate volatility. The Companyalso invests in mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses, such investments are susceptible to marketinterest risks which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, given the relatively shorttenure of underlying portfolio of the mutual fund schemes in which the Company has invested, such risk is notsignificant. Investments in debenture or bonds and certain government securities are subject to interest raterisk which are fair valued through other comprehensive income to recognize market volatility.
The following table demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates:
A reduction in interest rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the company's financial statements.ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate becauseof changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to foreign currencies is negligible, with theexception of the AED, which has an impact on profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2026 of INR 1 crore(March 31, 2025: INR 1 crore) for 1% change in foreign exchange rate. The Company keeps a regular track ofall the changes in foreign currency rates to monitor and manage this foreign currency risk.
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. Themaximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amountingto INR 173 crore (March 31, 2025: INR 125 crore). Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derivedfrom revenue earned from customers primarily located in India and United Arab Emirates. Credit risk hasalways been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuouslymonitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal courseof business.
The Company uses expected credit loss ("ECL") model to assess the impairment loss. The Company hasestablished an allowance for impairment that represents its ECL in respect of trade receivables and other
financial assets. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of ECL fortrade receivables and 12 months expected credit loss for other financial assets, in case credit risk has notincreased significantly since initial recognition for other financial assets. However, if credit risk has increasedsignificantly, lifetime ECL is used. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the ECL for tradereceivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors suchas the Company's historical experience for customers and adjusted for forward-looking information.
Outstanding trade receivables are regularly and closely monitored. Basis historical trend, the Companyprovides for any outstanding beyond 180 days. The trade receivables on the respective reporting dates arenet off the allowance which is sufficient to cover the entire lifetime credit loss recognized including those thatare currently less than 180 days outstanding.
The Company has made investments in government securities which carries sovereign rating and debentureor bonds which are rated AAA; which do not have a default history.
The Company's treasury maintains its cash and cash equivalents and deposits - with banks, financial andother institutions, having a good reputation and past track record which are considered to carry a low creditrisk. Similarly, counterparties of the Company's other receivables carry either negligible or very low creditrisk. Further, the Company reviews the creditworthiness of the counter-parties on the basis of its ratings andfinancial strength for all the above assets on an ongoing basis, and if required, takes necessary mitigationmeasures.
The Company has established an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses inrespect of investments in debt instruments. The management uses a 12 months expected credit loss approachafter taking into account the time value of money and other reasonable information available as a result ofpast events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
For trade receivable ageing, refer note 39.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time.The Company has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management ofthe Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity requirements.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and liquid mutual funds. TheCompany manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, by continuously monitoring forecastand actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, noliquidity risk is perceived.

These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025. TheCompany has applied these amendments for the first-time.
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
The amendments specifies how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable andhow it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments alsorequire disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how thecurrency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity'sfinancial performance, financial position and cash flows.
The amendments have no impact on the Company's financial statements.
The amendments clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additionaldisclosures of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended toassist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangementson an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The amendments specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. Theamendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument wouldthe terms of a liability not impact its classification
In addition, an entity is required to disclose when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classifiedas non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with futurecovenants within twelve months.
The amendments have been introduced in response to the OECD's BEPS Pillar Two rules and include:
• A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arisingfrom the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules. This mandatory temporaryexception needs to be applied retrospectively; and
• Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements betterunderstand an entity's exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation,particularly before its effective date.
(b) Standards issued/notified but not yet effective:
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) SecondAmendment Rules, 2025 dated August 13, 2025, to amend Ind AS 1 and Ind AS 10 relating to classificationof liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current liabilities with Covenants.

Ind AS 10: Events after the Reporting Period has been amended to eliminate the earlier requirement totreat a lender's waiver of a covenant breach, granted after the reporting date but before approval of the
financial statements, as an adjusting event where such breach made the liability repayable on demand atthe reporting date.
For annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2026, any breach of a covenant occurring onor before the reporting date will require the related liability to be classified as current in accordance withInd AS 1, unless the lender has granted a waiver of the breach on or before the reporting date and agreednot to demand repayment for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial statements.
