Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity:

The Company operates gratuity plan through approved gratuity fund with Life Insurance Corporation of India. Every employee is entitled to the benefit in accordance with the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, as applicable from time to time, except in the case of Managing Director where there is no maximum limit. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation.

Leave Salary Encashment:

Eligible employees can carry forward and encash leave on superannuation or death or permanent disablement subject to a maximum accumulation of 120 days except in the case of Managing Director where there is no limit to maximum accumulation. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation.

The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is certified by the actuary.

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

Investment risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to the market yields on government bonds denominated in Indian Rupees. If the actual return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.

Interest risk : A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

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.

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

The treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company''s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis:

Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Company''s revenues from its operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Company''s cost of imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase the cost of financing the Company''s capital expenditures.

The following table details the Company''s sensitivity movement in the foreign currencies. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 2%. 2% represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 2% change in foreign currency rates.

In management''s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

The company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company''s profit for the year ended March 31,2019 would decrease/increase by Rs. 21.27 lakhs (March 31,2018: decrease/increase by Rs..16.77 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company''s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

Equity price risk

Equity price risk is related to the change in market reference price of the investments in equity securities. Fair and nominal value of shares are same since entire nominal value will be payable on sale back of shares as per the agreement and the shares are not held for trading purpose Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company''s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.

The Company did not have credit risk exposure in the past 3 years and there were no bad debt during the mentioned period but the Company makes an allowance for doubtful debts on a case to case basis.
