37. Financial risk management 37.1 Financial risk factors

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise of lease liabilities, security deposits, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company''s operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include investment in equity instruments, investment in mutual funds, investment in bonds, security deposits, trade receivables and cash and bank balances that arise directly from its operations. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk and the Company''s senior management oversees the management of these risks.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that fair value of future cash flows of a financial asset will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company has investment in equity instruments, mutual funds, bonds and fixed deposits. The Company''s investments in mutual funds are held in mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses. The tenure of investment in mutual funds is relatively short and hence the movement in market prices do not pose any significant price risk.

Fixed Deposits are held with highly rated banks and have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate volatility. The Company is not an active investor in equity markets and continues to hold certain investments in equity instruments for long term value accretion which are accordingly measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables and other receivables deposits with banks and investment in equity instruments, bonds and mutual funds. Company''s deployment in fixed deposits are primarily with highly rated banks and financial institutions, bonds issued by highly rated banks and mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses. With respect to the Company''s investing activities, mutual fund schemes and counter parties are shortlisted and explosure limits determined on the basis of there credit rating (by independent agencies), financial statements and other relevent information. As these counter parties are having investment grade/ sovereign credit ratings and taking into account the experience of the Company over time, the credit risk attached to such assets is considered to be insignificant. However, the company has made an expected credit allowance of Rs. 18.22 lakhs during the year.

Further the Company has determinded that an allowance or expected credit losses on loans giving to employees is not required as there is no credit risk involved owing to the fact that the Company can recover the entire loan amount from employee''s dues like salary, gratuity, etc.

(a) Trade receivables and other receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers.

Considering the inherent nature of business of the Company, Customer credit risk is minimal. The Company generally does not part away with its assets unless trade receivables are fully realised.

Based on prior experience and an assessment of the current economic environment, management believes there is no credit risk provision required, other than those made in the accounts. Further, the Company does not have any significant concentration of credit risk.

In determining the allowances for expected credit losses on trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the allowance for expected credit loss on trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The allowance for expected credit loss is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix.

(b) Investments and deposits with Banks

The Company considers factors such as track record, market reputation and service standards to select mutual funds, bonds and banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. The Company does not maintain significant cash balances other than those required for its day to day operations.

iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The company''s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds and marketable securities to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. The company closely monitors its liquidity position through forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

In determining the allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets (other than those measured at fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income) and deposits with banks, the Company has considered the credit ratings of those banks/ financial institutions.

Maturities of Financial Liabilities

The table below analyse the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities.

37.2. Capital management

“For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to safeguard continuity, maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. The funding requirement is met through equity and internal accruals.

39. Fair valuation techniques

The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets/other assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. The fair values of the financial assets/other assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate certain fair values:

i) The fair values of investment in equity instruments are based on their quoted market prices at the reporting date.

ii) The fair values of the mutual funds are based on their published Net Asset Values at the reporting date. The fair value of quoted bonds are valued using closing price at the reporting date. The fair value of unquoted bond is determined using valuation techniques using observable market data.

iii) Fair value of cash and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Lease liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts as it is based on the net present value of the anticipated future cash flows.

iv) Fair value of Freehold Land is based on Sales Comparison method under Market Approach at the reporting date as carried out by an independent registered valuer.

Fair Value hierarchy

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company''s asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

i) Quoted prices/published NAV (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1). It includes fair value of financial instruments such as investment in equity shares and bonds traded in active markets and are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date and financial instruments like mutual funds for which net assets value (NAV) is published by mutual fund operators at the balance sheet date.

ii) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2). It includes fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market and are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, then the instrument is included in level 2.

iii) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

During the year ended 31st March, 2023 and 31st March, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfer into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. There is no transaction / balance under Level 3.

The Company has set up Provident Fund Trusts in respect of certain categories of employees which are administered by Trustees. The Trusts invest funds following a pattern of investments.

The interest rate payable to the members of the Trusts is not lower than the rate of interest declared annually by the Government under The Employees'' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, on account of interest is to be made good by the Company.

Accordingly, the Actuary has carried out actuarial valuation of plan''s liabilities and interest rate guarantee obligations as at the Balance Sheet date using Projected Unit Credit method. Based on such valuation, an amount of Rs Nil lakhs (31st March, 2022: Rs. Nil Lakhs) has been provided towards future anticipated shortfall with regard to interest rate obligation of the Company.

(2) The Company provides for :

- Gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is in accordance with Provision of Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

- Leave Encashment Scheme whereby employees can encash their accumulated leave balance in a lump sum at time of retirement/withdrawal/death/disability.

- Pension Scheme whereby employees will be entitled to fixed payment(s) as per plan after retirement/death.

The following table sets out the details of amount recognised in the financial statements in respect of employee benefit schemes:

(vi) Risk exposure

These plans are exposed to the actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, salary inflation risk and demographic risk and change in leave balances.

Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.

Salary inflation 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 obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

Change in Leave Balances : This is the risk of variability of results due to a significant variation from expected accumulation of leave balances. All other aspects remaining same, higher than expected increase in the leave balances will increase the defined benefit obligation.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a 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 (projected unit credit method) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation recognised within the Balance Sheet. The methods and type of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

(vi) Risk exposure

These plans are exposed to the actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, salary inflation risk and demographic risk and change in leave balances.

Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.

Salary inflation 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 obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

Change in Leave Balances : This is the risk of variability of results due to a significant variation from expected accumulation of leave balances. All other aspects remaining same, higher than expected increase in the leave balances will increase the defined benefit obligation.

Presentation in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and Balance Sheet

Gratuity, provident fund, pension fund and leave encashment benefits are in the nature of defined benefit plans and re-measurement gains/(losses) on defined benefit plans are shown under OCI as ‘Items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss'', including the income tax effect on the same.

2. Financial risk management

2.1 Financial risk factors

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include security deposits, investment in mutual funds, trade receivables and cash and bank balances that arise directly from its operations. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk and the Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that fair value of future cash flows of a financial asset will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company has investment in equity instruments, mutual funds, bonds and fixed deposits. The Company’s investments are predominantly held in mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses. The tenure of investment in mutual funds is relatively short and hence the movement in market prices do not pose any significant price risk.

The Company is not an active investor in equity markets and continues to hold certain investments in equity instruments for long term value accretion which are accordingly measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Fixed Deposits are held with highly rated banks and have a short tenure and are not subject to interest rate volatility.

ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables, deposits with banks and investment in equity instruments, bonds and mutual funds.

(a) Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers.

(b) Investments and deposits with Banks

The Company considers factors such as track record, market reputation and service standards to select mutual funds and banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. The Company does not maintain significant cash balances other than those required for its day to day operations.

iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds and marketable securities to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. The company closely monitors its liquidity position through forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

2.2 Capital management

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to safeguard continuity, maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. The funding requirement is met through equity and internal accruals.

3. Fair value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements.

4. Fair valuation techniques

The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate certain fair values:

i) The fair values of investments in equity investments are based on their quoted market prices at the reporting date.

ii) The fair values of the mutual funds are based on their published Net Asset Values at the reporting date. The fair value of quoted bonds is valued using closing price or dealer quotations as at the reporting date. The fair value of unquoted bond is determind using valuation techniques using observable market data.

iii) Fair value of cash and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Fair Value hierarchy

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company’s asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

i) Quoted prices/published NAV (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1). It includes fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets and are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date and financial instruments like mutual funds for which net assets value (NAV) is published by mutual fund operators at the balance sheet date.

ii) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2). It includes fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market and are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, then the instrument is included in level 2.

iii) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3). If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

During the year ended 31st March, 2019 and 31st March, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfer into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements. There is no transaction/balance under Level 3.

Following table describes the valuation techniques used and key inputs to valuation for level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as at 31st March, 2019 and 31st March, 2018 :

5. Disclosure pursuant to Indian Accounting Standard 19 - Employee Benefits

(a) Defined Contribution Plan:

Contributions under Defined Contribution Plan as recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss by the Company are as follows:

(b) Defined Benefit Plan:

(1) Contributions under Defined Benefit Plan as recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss by the Company are as follows:

The Company has set up Provident Fund Trusts in respect of certain categories of employees which are administered by Trustees. The Trusts invest funds following a pattern of investments.

The interest rate payable to the members of the Trusts is not lower than the rate of interest declared annually by the Government under The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, on account of interest is to be made good by the Company.

Accordingly, the Actuary has carried out actuarial valuation of plan’s liabilities and interest rate guarantee obligations as at the Balance Sheet date using Projected Unit Credit method. Based on such valuation, an amount of Rs. 2.56 lakhs (31st March, 2018: Rs. 0.23 lakhs) has been provided towards future anticipated shortfall with regard to interest rate obligation of the Company.

(2) The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is in accordance with Provisions of Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 .

The Employees Leave Encashment Scheme, which is a defined benefit plan is unfunded.

(vi) Risk exposure

These plans are exposed to the actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, salary inflation risk and demographic risk and change in leave balances.

Interest rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.

Salary inflation 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 obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

Change in Leave Balances : This is the risk of variability of results due to a significant variation from expected accumulation of leave balances. All other aspects remaining same, higher than expected increase in the leave balances will increase the defined benefit obligation.

(vii) Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis on effect on Defined Benefit Obligations on changes in significant assumptions as per Note 33(2)(v) are as follows:-

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a 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 (projected unit credit method) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation recognised within the Balance Sheet. The methods and type of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

Presentation in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and Balance Sheet

Gratuity, provident fund, pension fund and leave encashment benefits are in the nature of defined benefit plans and re-measurement gains/(losses) on defined benefit plans are shown under OCI as ‘Items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss’, including the income tax effect on the same.

Expense for service cost, net interest on net defined benefit liability/(asset) is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Ind AS 19 does not require segregation of net defined liability/(asset) into current and non-current, however net defined liability/(asset) is bifurcated into current and non-current portions in the balance sheet, as per Ind AS 1 on “Presentation of Financial Statements”.
