3.9 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES ANDCONTINGENT ASSETS
a. Provisions
The Company recognises provisions only when ithas a present legal or constructive obligation as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation and when a reliableestimate of the amount of the obligation can bemade.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are determined by discounting theexpected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate thatreflects current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognised asfinance cost.
i. Warranty provisions
The Company has an obligation by way ofwarranty to maintain the software during theperiod of warranty, as per the contractualrequirements, for certain products/licenses.Costs associated with such sale are accrued atthe time when related revenues are recordedand included in cost of service delivery.
The Company accounts for the provisionfor warranty on the basis of the informationavailable with the Management duly taking intoaccount the historical experience and currentestimates.
ii. Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognisedwhen the expected benefits to be derived bythe Company from a contract are lower thanthe unavoidable costs of meeting the futureobligations under the contract. The provision ismeasured at the present value of the lower ofthe expected cost of terminating the contractand the expected net cost of continuing withthe contract. Before a provision is establishedthe Company recognises any impairment losson the assets associated with that contract.
b. Contingent liabilityContingent liability is:
i. Any possible obligation that arises from pastevents and the existence of which will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non¬occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of theCompany; or
ii. Present obligations that arise from past eventsbut are not recognised because:
- It is not probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation; or
- A reliable estimate of the amount ofobligation cannot be made.
The Company does not recognise suchobligations but are disclosed as contingentliabilities. These are assessed continually andonly that part of the obligation for which anoutflow of resources embodying economicbenefits is probable, is provided for, except inthe extremely rare circumstances where noreliable estimate can be made.
c. Contingent asset
Contingent assets are not recognised in thestandalone financial statements since this mayresult in the recognition of income that may neverbe realised.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingentassets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
3.10 TREASURY SHARES

3.12 REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company derives revenues primarily fromproviding engineering services which includesdesign engineering services, embedded softwaredevelopment with its related services and from thesale of licenses and products.
The following is the summary of significantaccounting policies related to revenue recognition:
Revenue is measured based on the considerationspecified in a contract with a customer. TheCompany recognises revenue when it transferscontrol over a good or service to a customer.
Arrangements with customers for such engineeringand its related services are bifurcated intofollowing key categories:
a. Revenue on time and material contracts forthe reporting period is recognised as and whenthe related services are performed and billedto the end customers. If billing for the relatedservices is not done during the reporting period,revenue is recognized as unbilled revenue atthe end of the reporting period.
b. Revenue from fixed price contracts where theperformance obligations are directly linked tocosts expended and are satisfied over time andthere is no uncertainty as to measurement orcollectability of consideration, is recognisedas per the percentage-of-completion method.Percentage of completion is determinedbased on project costs incurred to date as apercentage of total estimated project costsrequired to complete the project. Costsexpended have been used to measure progresstowards completion as generally there is adirect relationship between input and outputin respect of work completed.
c. Maintenance revenue is recognised ratablyover the term of the underlying maintenancearrangement.
d. Revenue from internally developed softwareproduct licenses where the customer obtainsa “right to use” the license is recognisedat the time the license is made available tothe customer. Revenue from licenses where
the customer obtains a “right to access” isrecognised over the access period.
e. Revenue from sale of third party licenses isrecognised only when the sale is completed bypassing ownership.
f. Revenue from sale of hardware products isrecognized upon actual delivery of goods alongwith transfer of control and significant risksand rewards to the customers.
The following are the details of key significant
accounting policies related to revenue recognition
for all the above mentioned categories:
a. Revenue in excess of invoicing is classifiedeither as contract asset (unbilled revenue)or financial asset (unbilled revenue), whileinvoicing in excess of revenue is classified ascontract liabilities (unearned revenue).
b. Unbilled revenue is classified as contractasset when there is a right to considerationin exchange for goods or services which isconditional on something other than thepassage of time. Whereas, it is classified asfinancial asset when such right to considerationin exchange for goods or services is conditionalonly on passage of time.
c. Amount billed in advance, without servicesbeing rendered, is classified as unearnedrevenue (contract liabilities).
Revenue is measured based on the transactionprice, which is the consideration, adjustedfor volume discounts, service level credits,performance bonuses and incentives, if any,as specified in the contract with the customer.Expenses reimbursed by customers during theproject execution are recorded as reduction toassociated costs.
d. The Company accounts for volume and/ortrade discounts to customers as a reduction ofrevenue. Also, when the level of discount varieswith increases in levels of revenue transactions,the Company recognises the liability basedon its estimate of the customer's futurepurchases. The Company recognises changesin the estimated amount of obligations fordiscounts in the period in which the changeoccurs. The discounts are passed on to thecustomer either as direct payments or as areduction of payments due from the customer.
e. When there is an uncertainty as to measurementor ultimate collectability, revenue recognitionis postponed until such uncertainty is resolved.
f. In accordance with Ind-AS 37, provision foronerous contract/ estimated losses, if any,on uncompleted contracts are recorded in aperiod in which such losses become probablebased on the expected contract estimates atthe period end date. The Company recognisesan onerous contract provision when theunavoidable costs of meeting the obligationsunder a contract exceed the economic benefitsto be received.
g. The Company presents revenues net of indirecttax in its Statement of Profit and Loss.
Significant judgments in revenue recognition:
a. The Company’s contracts with customers couldinclude promises to transfer multiple productsand services to a customer. The Companyassesses the products/services promised in acontract and identifies distinct performanceobligations in the contract. Identificationof distinct performance obligation involvesjudgment to determine the deliverablesand the ability of the customer to benefitindependently from such deliverables.
b. Judgment is also required to determinethe transaction price for the contract. Thetransaction price could be either a fixedamount of customer consideration or variableconsideration with elements such as volumediscounts, service level credits, performancebonuses, price concessions and incentives.The transaction price is also adjusted forthe effects of the time value of money ifthe contract includes a significant financingcomponent. The estimated amount of variableconsideration is adjusted in the transactionprice only to the extent that it is highly probablethat a significant reversal in the amount ofcumulative revenue recognized will not occurand is reassessed at the end of each reportingperiod. The Company allocates the elements ofvariable considerations to all the performanceobligations of the contract unless there isobservable evidence that they pertain to oneor more distinct performance obligations.
c. The Company uses judgment to determinean appropriate standalone selling price for aperformance obligation. The Company allocatesthe transaction price to each performance
obligation on the basis of the relative stand¬alone selling price of each distinct productor service promised in the contract. Wherestandalone selling price is not observable, theCompany uses the expected cost plus marginapproach to allocate the transaction price toeach distinct performance obligation.
d. The Company exercises judgment indetermining whether the performanceobligation is satisfied at a point in time orover a period of time. The Company considersindicators such as how customer consumesbenefits as services are rendered or whocontrols the asset as it is being created orexistence of enforceable right to payment forperformance to date and alternate use of suchproduct or service, transfer of significant risksand rewards to the customer, acceptance ofdelivery by the customer, etc.
e. Revenue from fixed price contracts where theperformance obligations are directly linked tocosts expended and are satisfied over time andthere is no uncertainty as to measurement orcollectability of consideration, is recognisedas per the percentage-of-completion method.The Company uses judgment to estimate thefuture cost-to-completion of the contractswhich is used to determine the degree of thecompletion of the performance obligation.

a. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial losses to the Company if a customer or counterparty to financialinstruments fails to discharge its contractual obligations. Credit risk includes the direct risk of defaultand the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Financial instrumentsthat are subject to credit risk consists of trade receivables (including unbilled receivables), depositswith banks and financial institutions, investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances withbanks and other financial assets.

iii. Guarantees
The Company’s policy is to provide financial guarantees in routine course of business and onbehalf of subsidiaries/joint venture.
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associatedwith its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’sapproach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity tomeet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurringunacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company has a view of maintaining liquidity and to take minimum possible risk while makinginvestments. In order to maintain liquidity, the Company invests its excess funds in short-term liquidassets like liquid mutual funds. The Company monitors its cash and bank balances periodically in viewof its short-term obligations associated with its financial liabilities.
c. Market risk
Market risk is a risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market prices. The objective of market risk management is to manage andcontrol market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
i. Foreign currency risk
Significant portion of the Company’s revenues are in foreign currencies, while a significant portionof the costs are in Indian rupee i.e. functional currency of the Company. The foreign currencies towhich the Company is majorly exposed to are US Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling and Japanese Yen.
The Company evaluates net exchange rate exposure based on current revenue projections andexpected volatility in the market and covers its exposure up to 90% on net basis. For this purposethe Company uses foreign currency derivative instruments such as forward contracts to mitigatethe risk. The counterparty to these derivative instruments is a bank. The Company has designatedcertain derivative instruments as cash flow hedge to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure ofhighly probable forecasted cash flows.
Exposure to Currency Risk
The below figures are INR equivalent amounts of foreign currency.
ii. Derivative assets and liabilities designated as cash flow hedges
In accordance with its risk management policy and business plan the Company has hedged itscash flows. The Company enters into derivative contracts to offset the foreign currency riskarising from the amounts denominated in currencies other than in Indian rupees. The counterparty to the Company’s foreign currency contracts is a bank. These contracts are entered into tohedge the foreign currency risks of firm commitments (sales orders) and highly probable forecasttransactions. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, andthrough periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationshipexists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrumentis expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
iii. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrumentwill fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have anyinvestments, deposits and borrowings which are variable interest rate bearing instruments.Therefore, the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
iv. Other price risk - Equity price risk
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changesin equity prices. The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from below mentionedfinancial instruments which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss:
35.1 DISAGGREGATE REVENUE INFORMATION
The Company disaggregates revenue from contract with customers by geography and contract type.
The Company believes that this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty ofrevenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.
35.5 PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS AND REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yetto be recognized as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the company expects torecognize these amounts in revenue.
Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remainingperformance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognized corresponds directlywith the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date, typically those contractswhere invoicing is on time and material basis. Remaining performance obligations estimates are subject tochange and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodicrevalidations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.
The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as of 31 March2026, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above, is 5 5,241.75 million. Out of this, theCompany expects to recognize revenue of around 76% within the next one year. This includes contracts thatcan be terminated for convenience without a substantive penalty, since based on current assessment, theoccurrence of the same is expected to be remote.
Statutory impact of New Labour Laws
On 21 November 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, theIndustrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and WorkingConditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draftCentral Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. The Company hasassessed and disclosed the incremental impact of these changes on the basis of professional consultation obtainedand the best information available, consistent with the guidance provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India. Considering the materiality and regulatory-driven, non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company haspresented an incremental impact on gratuity and long-term compensated absences under “Exceptional items” in theStatement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31 March 2026. The Company continues to monitor the finalisation ofCentral / State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the Labour Code and would provideappropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments as needed.
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, governed by the Code of Social Security, 2020. Definedbenefit gratuity plan entitles an employee, who has rendered at least five years of continuous service, to gratuitypayable on termination of his employment at the rate of fifteen days wages for every completed year of service or partthereof in excess of six months, based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee concerned.
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as interest rate risk, salary risk, investmentrisk, asset liability matching risk and concentration risk.
The Company’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan (funded). The Company manages the plan through a trust.Trustees administer contributions made to the trust.
a. The discount rate is based on prevailing yields of Indian Government Securities as at the Balance Sheet date forthe estimated term of the obligation.
b. Salary Escalation Rate: The estimates of future salary increases takes into account the inflation, seniority,promotion and other relevant factors.
c. Assumptions regarding future mortality rates are the rates as given under Indian Assured Lives Mortality 2012-14(Urban).
