2.21 Provision and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when a Company has a
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a resultof past events and it is probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligation, inrespect of which a reliable estimate can be made ofthe amount of the obligation. If the effect of time valueof money is material, provision is discounted using acurrent pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate,the risks specific to the liability. When discounting isused, the increase in the provision due to the passageof time is recognised as a finance cost. When someor all of the economic benefits required to settle aprovision are expected to be recovered from a thirdparty, the receivable is recognized as an asset, if it isvirtually certain that reimbursement will be receivedand the amount of the receivable can be measuredreliably.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e., contractswhere the expected unavoidable costs of meetingobligations under a contract exceed the economicbenefits expected to be received, are recognized whenit is probable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle a presentobligation as a result of an obligating event, based ona reliable estimate of such obligation.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arisesfrom past events whose existence will be confirmedby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one ormore uncertain future events beyond the control ofthe Company or a present obligation that is notrecognized because it is not probable that an outflowof resources will be required to settle the obligation. Acontingent liability also arises in extremely rare caseswhere there is a liability that cannot be recognizedbecause it cannot be measured reliably. The Companydoes not recognize a contingent liability but disclosesits existence in the standalone financial statements.

directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 : Inputs for the assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
- CCM denotes Comparable Companies Multiple method
- DCF denotes Discounted Cash Flow method

The Company is exposed to various financial risks majorly Credit risk, Liquidityrisk, Market risk and Equity price risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these riskswith an objective to minimise the impact of these risks based on charters and (in) formal policies.
a. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in theforeign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk is very limited, as the Company doesn't have anysignificant foreign exchange transactions. Further, the Company's investments are primarily in fixed rate interestbearing investments. Accordingly, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate dueto changes in market interest rates. The Company has no debt obligation during the current year. Therefore,there is no impact of possible change in floating rate on the entity's profitability.
b. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customercontract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarilytrade receivables and unbilled receivables) and from its treasury activities, including deposits with banks andfinancial institutions, investments in money market and other financial instruments. Credit risk has always beenmanaged by the Company through credit approvals, established credit limits and continuously monitoring thecreditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit in the normal course of business and takes thenecessary mitigation measures.
Trade receivables consists of receivables from large number of unrelated restaurant partners and onlinepayment partners. The Company's credit risk with regard to receivables from restaurant is reduced by it'sbusiness model which allows it to offset payables to restaurants against receivables. The Company operateswith known online payment partners, these are short term and carried very low credit risk at the reportingdate. The Company's trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally carries credit period of 0to 60 days. The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. TheCompany does not hold collateral as security.
As per Ind AS 109, the Company uses the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. Indetermining the impairment allowance (allowance for doubtful debts), the Company has used a practicalexpedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provisionmatrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience as well as the current economicconditions and is adjusted for forward looking information. Refer note 27 for the details on impairmentallowances for doubtful debts and advances and note 8 for the outstanding trade receivable balancewhich is subject to credit risk exposure of the Company. Provision created for outstanding receivables lessthan 180 days is not material (refer note 8.1).
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasurydepartment in accordance with the Company's approved investment policy. Investments of surplus fundsare made primarily in mutual fund units, fixed maturity plan securities, fixed deposits, quoted bonds,certificate of deposits, commercial papers etc. Investments of certificate of deposits, zero coupon bonds,commercial papers etc., are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits. Counterpartycredit ratings are reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee on periodic basis.
Similarly, counterparties of the Company's other receivables carry either negligible or very low credit risk.Further, the Company reviews the creditworthiness of the counterparties on the basis of its financial strengthon an ongoing basis and if required, takes necessary mitigation measures.
