The Company is having payment of gratuity plan through gratuity trust. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of continuous service and once vested it is payable to employees on retirement or on termination of employment. In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective of vesting. The Company makes annual contribution to the group gratuity scheme administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India through its Gratuity Trust Fund.
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with references to government bond yields; if plan assets underperform compared to this yield, this will create or increase a deficit. The defined benefit plans may hold equity type assets, which may carry volatility and associated risk.
A decrease in government bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this is expected to be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans'' investment in debt instruments.
The present value of some of the defined benefit plan obligations are calculated with 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 post retirement benefit obligation is sensitive to inflation and accordingly, an increase in inflation rate would increase the plan''s liability.
The present value of defined benefit plan obligation is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants, both during and after the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan''s liability.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the company''s receivables from customer and
investment securities. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding account receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
The company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates also has influence on credit risk assessment. The company has taken dealer securities which are considered in determination of expected carried losses, where applicable. The company makes an allowance for doubtful trade receivable using the simplified approach for expected credit loss and by continuously monitoring the recoverability of receivable balances.
The receivables of Rs. 889.76 Lakhs (Prevoius year Rs. 2062.68 Lakhs) are secured by security deposits. Investments
The company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counter parties that have a good credit rating. The company does not expect any loses from non-performance by these counterparties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. Also the company is utilising cash credit limits (Fund Based and Non Fund Based) of Rs. 65 crore sanctioned by banks from time to time as and when required.
Foreign Currency risk.
The company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent of exchange rate fluctuation at the time of payment of purchase price applicable in Foreign Letter of Credit (FLC) .The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US Dollar and EURO.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates. The company do not have exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relating to company''s debt obligations as it is on fixed interest rates.
The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business plan coupled with long-term and short-term strategic investment and expansion plans. The funding needs are met through equity, cash generated from operations, long-term and short-term bank borrowings. The Company reviews the capital structure of the company on a regular basis and uses debt equity ratio to monitor the same.
