The Insurance Company in turn manages the funds as per the mandate provided to them by the Trustees. Due to the restrictions in the type of investments that can be held by the fund, it is not possible to explicitly follow an asset liability matching strategy.

There is no compulsion on the part of the Company to fully prefund the liability of the Plan. The Company''s philosophy is to fund these benefits based on its own liquidity and the level of under funding of the plan.

NOTE 52: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company''s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. The Company''s senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company''s financial risk management framework. The Company''s Audit Committee, is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s financial risk management policies. The Company''s financial risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set and monitor appropriate controls.

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, bank balances, loans, investments and other financial assets.

At each reporting date, the Company measures loss allowance for certain class of financial assets based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the Company operates.

Credit risk arising from investments, derivative financial instruments and balances with banks is limited because the counterparties are banks and recognized financial institutions with high credit worthiness.

(i) Provision for expected credit losses

The Company measures Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for financial instruments based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the Company operates.

For financial assets, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between:

(a) the contractual cash flows that are due to an entity under the contract; and

(b) the cash flows that the entity expects to receive

The Company recognises in profit and loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date in accordance with Ind AS 109.

In determination of the allowances for credit losses on trade receivables, the Company has used a practical experience by computing the expected credit losses based on ageing matrix, which has taken into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements.

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash credit facilities agreed with the banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost effective manner.

The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Company''s derivative and non derivative financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.

a) Interest rate risk:

Interest rate risk is measured by using cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rate. Any movement in the reference rates could have an impact on the Company''s cash flow as well as cost. The management is focused towards reducing the volatility due to interest rates, which is reflected in proportion of variable interest rate borrowing to total borrowing.

b) Foreign currency risk:

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposures relating to the recognized underlying liabilities / assets and firm commitments. The Company''s policy is to hedge its exposures other than natural hedge. The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company''s objective when managing capital (defined as net debt and equity) is to safeguard the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefit for other stakeholders, while protecting and strengthening the Balance Sheet through the appropriate balance of debt and equity funding. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes to economic conditions and strategic objectives of the Company.
