NOTE 33 :EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN33.1 Defined Contribution plan

The Company makes Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans for eligible employees. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The contributions as specified under the law/scheme are paid to the Government administered Provident

fund and in case of Superannuation to the Scheme set up as trust by the Company-Insurer. The Company is liable only for annual contributions.

because the earlier surplus contribution are available for utilisation.

The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes."

33.2 Defined Benefit plan Gratuity-Funded

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is primarily governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of five years are eligible for gratuity. The level of benefits provided

depends on the member''s length of service and salary at the separation date. The gratuity plan is funded plan. The Company has formed a trust and is governed by Trustees appointed by the Company. The Trustees are responsible for administration of the plan assets and investment strategy in accordance with the regulations. The funds are deployed in recognised insurer managed funds in India.

The sensitivity results above determine their individual impact on Plan''s end of year Defined Benefit Obligation. In reality, the plan is subject to multiple external experience items which may move the Defined Benefit Obligation in similar or opposite directions, while the Plan''s sensitivity to such changes can vary over time.

Risk exposure:

Through the defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: Asset Volatility:

The plan Habiltles are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit. These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk plan assets have been deployed in high

grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straightforward and depends upon

the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

1.2. Fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This includes quoted equity instruments, government securities and mutual funds (includes FMP) that have quoted price.

Level 2 Inputs are 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) such as derivative financial instruments. The Company

does not have any Level 2 instruments as at 31st March, 2023 and 31st March, 2022.

Level 3 Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This includes unquoted equity shares.

Valuation technique(s) and key input(s):

Level 1 The fair value of mutual funds (includes FMP) and quoted equity shares is based on net assets value (NAV) and quoted price.

Level 2 The Company does not have any Level 2 instrument as at 31st March, 2023 and 31st March, 2022.

Level 3 The fair value of unquoted equity shares is determined using market approach. This approach involves the application of multiples, derived from market prices of comparable listed companies, to the parameters of the subject company in order to derive a value for the subject company.

2. Capital Management

The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends

on its equity shares. The Company''s objective when managing capital is to maintain an optimal structure so as to maximize shareholder value.

contingent considerations, if any).

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency

exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The Company''s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of foreign currency exchange rate risk.

3.1.1 Foreign currency risk management

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets / liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entities. Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from

fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar and Euro against the respective functional currency of the company. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments such as

foreign exchange forward contract to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.

ii Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rate on foreign currency exposure. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a Bank or a Financial Institution. These derivative financial instrument are valued based on quoted prices for similar asset and liabilities in active markets or inputs that is directly or indirectly observable in the market place.

3.1.2 Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Considering borrowing amount outstanding as at 31st March, 2023 and as at 31st March, 2022, Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

3.2 Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and creditworthiness

of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit.

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, loans, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units (including FMP).

34 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:

Brief description of the Plans:

The Company has various schemes for employee benefits such as Provident Fund, ESIC, Gratuity and Leave Encashment. The Company’s defined contribution plans are Provident Fund (in case of certain employees) and Employees State Insurance Fund (under the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952). The Company has no further obligation beyond making the contributions to such plans.

A Defined Benefits Plan

The Company’s defined benefit plans include Gratuity. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 under which an employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefits. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

VIII. The Company expects to contribute '' 1.17 Crores (Previous Year : '' 1.74 Crores) to the gratuity trust during the financial year 2022-23.

B Defined contribution plans

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. The contributions are made to registered provident fund, Employee State Insurance Corporation and Labour Welfare Fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the year towards defined contribution plans are as follows:

38 LEASES

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The lease period for these contracts varies from 11 months to 5 years, in certain cases, mainly relating to rent of (parts of) buildings, with extension options. The Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities as disclosed below, do not include short term and low value leases. In general, as usual with leases, the Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to or legal ownership of the leased assets.

C. Rent expenses recorded for short term leases was X 6.69 Crores (Previous Year: X 5.09 Crores) for the year ended 31st March, 2022

D. The total cash out flows for leases are X 10.01 Crores (Previous Year: X 5.95 Crores) in the year, including the payments relating to short term and low value leases.

F. Leases not yet commenced to which Company is committed amounts to X 0.85 Crores (Previous Year: X 0.85 Crores) for a lease term of 5 years.

G. Rental income on assets given on operating lease is X 0.40 Crores (Previous Year : X 0.40 Crores) for the year ended 31st March, 2022.

H. The company has applied the practical expedient to all the eligible rent concessions. The amount recognised in profit or loss for F.Y 2021-22 to reflect changes in lease payments that arise from COVID-19 related rent concessions to which the company has applied the practical expedient is X 0.90 Crores (Previous Year : X 0.60 Crores).

The Company is exposed to Currency Risk arising from its trade exposures and Capital receipt / payments denominated, in other than the Functional Currency. The Company has a detailed policy which includes setting of the recognition parameters, benchmark targets, the boundaries within which the treasury has to perform and also lays down the checks and controls to ensure the continuing success of the treasury function.

The Company has defined strategies for addressing the risks for each category of exposures (e.g. for imports, for loans, etc.). The centralised treasury function aggregates the foreign exchange exposure and takes prudent measures to hedge the exposure based on prevalent macroeconomic conditions.

41 CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers and other counter parties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of such information.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,

ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,

iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations,

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, additional loss on collection of receivable is recognised.

i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,

ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,

iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations,

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, additional loss on collection of receivable is recognised.

Trade Receivables:

The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivable amounting to '' 2.49 crores as on 31st March, 2022 (Previous Year : '' 2.84 Crores).

42 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalent) and total equity of the Company.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual as well as long term operating plans and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through Non Current and Current borrowings. The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of total debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.

43 LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

44 INTEREST RATE RISK & SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the Company’s position with regards to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio. At the year end, there was no borrowing outstanding.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straightforward and

1.2. Fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This includes quoted equity instruments, government securities and mutual funds (includes FMP) that have quoted price.

Level 2 Inputs are 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) such as derivative financial instruments. The

Company does not have any Level 2 instruments as at 31st March 2022 and 31st March 2021.

Level 3 Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This includes unquoted equity shares.

Valuation technique(s) and key input(s):

Level 1 The fair value of mutual funds (includes FMP) and quoted equity shares is based on net assets value (NAV) and quoted price.

Level 2 The Company does not have any Level 2 instrument as at 31st March, 2022 and 31st March, 2021.

of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted after obtaining necessary approvals for credit.

34 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:

Brief description of the Plans:

The Company has various schemes for employee benefits such as Provident Fund, ESIC, Gratuity and Leave Encashment. The Company’s defined contribution plans are Provident Fund (in case of certain employees) and Employees State Insurance Fund (under the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952). The Company has no further obligation beyond making the contributions to such plans.

A Defined Benefits Plan

The Company’s defined benefit plans include Gratuity. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 under which an employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefits. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The Company’s defined benefit plans include Gratuity. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 under which an employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefits. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age.

The Plan typically exposes the Company to actuarial risk such as Interest Risk, Longevity Risk and Salary Risk;

a) Interest Risk:- A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.

b) Longevity Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

c) Salary Risk: The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan’s participants will increase the plan’s liability.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

B Defined contribution plans

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. The contributions are made to registered provident fund, Employee State Insurance Corporation and Labour Welfare Fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the year towards defined contribution plans are as follows:

C Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for earned leave.

The amount of the provision of Rs. 1.51 Crores (31st March, 2018 Rs. 1.70 Crores) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.

- Loans and Advances shown above, to subsidiaries and Step-Down Subsidiary Company fall under the category of Loans and Advances in nature of Loans where there is no repayment schedule and are re-payable on demand. Investment made in Fully Convertible Debenture (FCD) are not reported here.

- In the current year, the terms of loan granted to Daman Hospitality Private Limited of Rs. 320.33 Crores has been classified as equity contribution.

2. OPERATING LEASE EXPENSES

The Company’s significant operating lease arrangements are mainly in respect of commercial premises. The aggregate lease rentals payable on these leasing arrangements are charged as rent under “Other Expenses” in Note No. 32.

These Non Cancellable lease arrangements are for a period not exceeding 5 years and are renewable by mutual consent, on mutually agreeable terms. On an average, an escalation of 9% to 16% is noted in the lease arrangements.

3. EARNING PER SHARES (EPS)

Earnings Per Share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Numbers used for calculating basic and diluted earnings per equity share are as stated below:

The Company is exposed to Currency Risk arising from its trade exposures and Capital receipt / payments denominated, in other than the Functional Currency. The Company has a detailed policy which includes setting of the recognition parameters, benchmark targets, the boundaries within which the treasury has to perform and also lays down the checks and controls to ensure the continuing success of the treasury function. The Company has defined strategies for addressing the risks for each category of exposures (e.g. for imports, for loans, etc.). The centralised treasury function aggregates the foreign exchange exposure and takes prudent measures to hedge the exposure based on prevalent macro-economic conditions.

4. CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers and other counter parties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of such information.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,

ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counter party,

iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counter party’s ability to meet its obligations,

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customers based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material hence no additional provision considered.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes 17, 20 and 22 offset by cash and cash equivalent and total equity of the Company.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual as well as long term operating plans and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through non current and current borrowings. The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of total debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.

6. LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

7. INTEREST RATE RISK & SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the Company’s position with regards to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio. At the year end, there was no borrowing outstanding.

8. OTHER PRICE RISKS

The Company is exposed to price risks arising from equity & mutual fund investments. Certain of the Company’s equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes.

In accordance with Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segment ‘, segment information has been given in the consolidated financial statements and therefore, no separate disclosure on segment information is given in these Standalone financial statements.

11. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Details of the employee share option plan of the Company

The options are granted at the price determined by the Compensation Committee. Each option entitles the holder to exercise the right to apply for and seek allotment of one equity share of Rs. 1/- each. The Option granted in Financial Year 2017-18 shall vest in three installments and the option granted in Financial Year 2018-19 shall vest in four installments. Details of options granted during the financial year 2017-18 & 2018-19 duly approved by the Nomination Remuneration Compensation Committee under the said scheme are given below.

Each employee share option converts into one equity share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.

Fair value of share options granted

Options were priced using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. Expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility over the past 3 years.

Note:

a) Volatility: Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during the year. The measure of volatility is used in Black Scholes annualized standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return on the stock over a period of time. The Company considered the daily historical volatility of the Company’s expected life of each vest.

b) Risk Free Rate: The risk free rate being considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero - coupon securities

c) Expected Life of the Options: Expected life of the options is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised. The Company has calculated expected life as the average of life of the options.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and unutilized business loss and depreciation carry forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, depreciation carry-forwards and unused tax credits could be utilized.

b) Fair Value Hierarchy and Method of Valuation

Except as detailed in the following table, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial instruments recognised in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

Level 1 : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The following table presents fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on recurring basis as of 31st March, 2019.

c) Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)

The following table presents the changes in value of equity shares (level 3 items) for the year ended 31st March, 2019 and 31st March, 2018.

Under the terms of the respective schemes, the Company is required to earn foreign exchange value equivalent to, eight times and in certain cases six times of the duty saved in respect of licenses where export obligation has been fixed by the order of the Director General Foreign Trade, Ministry of Finance, as applicable with in a specified period from the date of import of capital goods. The Export Promotion Capital Goods Schemes, Foreign Trade Policy 2009-2014 as issued by the Central Government of India, covers both manufacturer’s exports and service providers.

Non fulfilment of the balance of such future obligation, if any entails to the Government to recover full duty saved amount and other penalties under the above referred scheme.

1 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS :

Brief description of the Plans:

The Company has various schemes for employee benefits such as Provident Fund, ESIC, Gratuity and Leave Encashment. The Company’s defined contribution plans are Provident Fund (in case of certain employees) and Employees State Insurance Fund (under the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952). The Company has no further obligation beyond making the contributions to such plans.

A Defined Benefits Plan:

The Company’s defined benefit plans include Gratuity. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 under which an employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefits. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age.

The Plan typically to expose the Company to actuarial risk such as Interest Risk, Longevity Risk and Salary Risk;

a) Interest Risk:- A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.

b) Longevity Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

c) Salary Risk: The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan’s participants will increase the plan’s liability.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

B Defined contribution plans

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. The contributions are made to registered provident fund, Employee State Insurance Corporation and Labour Welfare Fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the year towards defined contribution plans are as follows:

C Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for earned leave. The amount of the provision of Rs.170.07 Lakhs (Previous Year: Rs.42.21 Lakhs) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.

Risk exposure

Through it defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset Volatility:

The plan liabilties are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yield. If plan assets underperform this yield, it will result in deficit.These are subject to interest rate risk. To offset the risk the plan assets have been deployed in high grade insurer managed funds.

Inflation rate risk:

Higher than expected increase in salary and medical cost will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Demographic risk:

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligations is not straightforward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criterion.

1.2. Fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This includes quoted equity instruments, government securities and mutual funds (includes FMP) that have quoted price,

Level 2 Inputs are 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) such as derivative financial instruments. The Company does not have any Level 2 instruments as at 31st March 2018 and 2017.

Level 3 I nputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This includes unquoted equity shares.

# other than Investment in associates and joint ventures accounted at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27,

Valuation technique(s) and key input(s):

Level 1 The fair value of mutual funds (includes FMP) and quoted equity shares is based on quoted price,

Level 2 The Company does not have any Level 2 instrument as at 31st March, 2018 and 2017,

Level 3 The fair value of unquoted equity shares is determined using market approach.This approach involves the application of multiples, derived from market prices of comparable listed companies, to the parameters of the subject company in order to derive a value for the subject company.

Under Ind AS, proposed dividend is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid.

In the case of the Company, the declaration of dividend for March 15 had occurred after period end. Therefore, the liability of Rs. 331.3 million for the year ended on March 31, 2015 and Rs 459.6 million as on March 31, 2016 recorded for dividend has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Correspondingly, total equity increased by this amount.

The various transitional adjustments have led to temporary differences and accordingly, the Company has accounted for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity.

(4) Actuarial loss transferred to Other Comprehensive Income

Under Ind AS, re-measurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit and loss. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended 31st March 2017 has decreased by Rs. 18.3 million. There is no impact on total equity.

(5) Other Comprehensive Income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit and loss but are shown in the Statement of profit and loss as ‘other comprehensive income'' includes re-measurements of defined benefit plans and net gain on cash flow hedge. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under the Previous GAAP.

(6) Spares Capitalized

Spares worth Rs. 75.2 million having useful life of more than one year were capitalized as property, plant and equipment. The average useful life of such spares was assessed to be 10 years, in-line with the balance average useful life of plant and machinery where such spares will be used.
