A possible obligation that arises from past events
and the existence of which will be confirmed
only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of
one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the enterprise are disclosed
as Contingent liability and not provided for.
Such liability is not disclosed if the possibility of
outflow of resources is remote.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises
from past events and whose existence will
be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the
entity. Contingent assets are not recognised
and disclosed only when an inflow of economic
benefits is probable.
A provision is recognized when as a result
of a past event, the Company has a present
obligation whether legal or constructive that can
be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. If the obligation is expected
to be settled more than 12 months after the end
of reporting date or has no definite settlement
date, the provision is recorded as non-current
liabilities after giving effect for time value of
money, if material. Where discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognized as a finance cost.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent
assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
The Company recognizes government grants at their
fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that
the conditions attached to them will be complied with,
and the grants will be received.
Government grants received in relation to assets are
recognised directly to respective assets for which it
is received. Government grants, which are revenue in
nature are either recognised as income or deducted in
reporting the related expense based on the terms of
the grant, as applicable.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price
adjusted for discounts and rebates, which is specified in
a contract with customer. Revenue are net of estimated
returns and taxes collected from customer.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at point in
time when control is transferred to the customer and
it is probable that consideration will be collected.
Control is usually transferred upon the shipment, at the
time of dispatch, delivery to or upon receipt of goods
by the customer, in accordance with the delivery and
acceptance terms agreed with the customer.
The transaction price is documented on the sales
invoice and payment is generally due as per agreed
credit terms with customer.
The consideration can be fixed or variable. Variable
consideration is only recognised when it is highly
probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Revenue from services are recognised as the related
services are performed, the contractual performance
obligations are satisfied and there is no uncertainty
related to the collection of the said revenue.
The Company has concluded that it is the principal in
all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary
obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has
pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and
credit risks.
Export entitlements are recognised as income when
right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme
is established in respect of the exports made and
where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the
ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized using effective interest
rate method.
The ''effective interest rate'' is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts
through the expected life of financial instrument to:
- The gross carrying amount of the financial assets; or
- The amortised cost of the financial liabilities
In calculating interest income and expense, the
effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying
amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-
impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability.
However, for financial assets that have become credit-
impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest
income is calculated by applying the effective interest
rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the
asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation
of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Sales return is variable consideration that is recognised
and recorded based on historical experience, market
conditions and provided for in the year of sale as
reduction from revenue. The methodology and
assumptions used to estimate returns are monitored
and adjusted regularly in line with trade practices,
historical trends, past experience and projected market
conditions.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred
tax expense. Income tax expenses are recognized in
statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to
items recognized in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity.
Current tax is the tax payable on the taxable profit for the
year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of reporting period by the governing
taxation laws, and any adjustment to tax payable in
respect of previous periods. Current income tax assets
and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to
be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken
in the tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation
and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred taxes arising from deductible and taxable
temporary differences between the tax base of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the
standalone financial statements are recognized using
substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected
to apply to taxable income in the years in which the
temporary differences are expected to be received or
settled.
Deferred tax asset are recognized only to the extent that
it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences
can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax
assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient
taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the
Company has a legally enforceable right to do the same.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is
determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable
to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in
profit and loss as incurred.
Development expenditure is capitalized as part cost of
the resulting intangible asset only if the expenditure
can be measured reliably, the product or process is
technically and commercially feasible, future economic
benefits are probable and the company intends to and
has sufficient resources to complete development and
to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in
profit and loss as incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, development
expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated
amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.

consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM of

operating results are reviewed regularly by the CODM
to make decisions about resources to be allocated to

The Company makes contributions towards provident fund, a defined contribution retirement benefit plan for qualifying
employees. The provident fund is operated by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company recognized ? 549.45
Lakhs (Previous Year ? 500.34 Lakhs) for provident fund contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contributions
payable to these plans by the company are at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.
The Company makes annual contributions to the Employee''s Group Gratuity cash accumulation scheme of the LIC, a funded
defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The Scheme provides for payment to vested employees at retirement/death
while in employment or on termination of employment as per the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Vesting
occurs on completion of 5 years of service. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service
cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method as per actuarial valuation carried out at the balance sheet date.
Valuation of defined benefit plan are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory
framework, which may vary over time. Thus, Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit plans which
are as follows:
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the
ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (i.e. value of
defined benefit obligation).
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan particulars
in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used
to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan''s liability.
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed
to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumptions.
The Company has funded with LIC fund, there is no significant investment risk. Further the present value of the defined
benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end
of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt
instruments.
The following table sets out the status of the gratuity plan as required under Ind AS-19 and the amounts recognized in the
Company''s financial statements as at 31 March 2025:
* The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for
the estimated term of the obligations.
"Expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the nature of assets and prevailing economic scenario.
*** The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and
other relevant factors.
The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligations are discount rate and
expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes
of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions
constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the
assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been
calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied
in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are determined based on the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability at the reporting date considering the fair value hierarchy as under:
Level 1: It includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have
quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price
as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the
counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely
as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable,
the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
The following tables categorise the financial assets and liabilities held at fair value by the valuation methodology applied in
determining their fair value.
Investment in Mutual Funds: The fair values represent net asset value as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units
in the published statements. Net asset values represent the price at which the issuer will issue further units in the mutual
fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
Derivative instruments: For forward contracts, future cash flows are estimated based on forward exchange rates and
forward interest rates (from observable forward exchange rates / yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and
contract forward exchange rates and forward interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various
counterparties.
Derivative instruments are financial contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset. Their main purpose is to
mitigate financial risk and protect against price volatility. Given the uncertainties associated with export revenue from the
sale of goods, company has engaged into derivative instruments, to hedge their risk against price fluctuations and safeguard
their financial stability.
The Company''s activities are exposed to variety of financial risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency
risk, interest rate risks and price risk), credit risks and liquidity risk. The Company''s overall risk management program seeks to
minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company through established policies and processes
which are laid down to ascertain the extent of risks, setting appropriate limits, controls, continuous monitoring and its

value of its holding of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to market risks on account of foreign currency
rates, interest rates and underlying equity prices.

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 company.
The overall objective of the foreign currency risk management is to minimize the short term currency impact on
its revenue and cash-flow in order to improve the predictability of the financial performance.
The major foreign currency exposures for the Company are denominated in USD. Additionally, there are
transactions which are entered into in other currencies and are not significant in relation to the total volume of the
foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges some trade receivables and future cash flows upto a maximum
of 6 months forward based on historical trends, budgets and monthly sales estimates.
Interest rate risk refers to the possibility that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rate. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates in respect of
term loan carrying a floating rate of interest. In respect of term loan, the Company has outstanding borrowing
of ? 38.11 lakhs as at 31 March, 2025 (As at 31 March 2024: ? 622.98 lakhs) The following table demonstrates
Price risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices
which arises on account of movement in interest rates, liquidity and credit quality of underlying securities. The
primary goal of the Company''s investment in mutual funds is to hold investments for short term for strategic
purpose. Management monitors their performance and they are managed on fair value basis. Further there is no
price risk for investment in Clean Max Everglades Pvt Ltd.
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to financial loss. The credit risk arises principally from its operating activities (primarily trade
receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial
instruments.
The Company establishes a loss allowance that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as at reporting date is from trade receivables amounting to ? 317.51 Lakhs (March
31,2024: ? 139.07 Lakhs). The movement in loss allowance in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The objective of liquidity risk
management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The
Company generates cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations, maintains adequate liquid assets
in the form of cash & cash equivalents and has undrawn short term line of credits from banks to ensure necessary
liquidity.
The capital structure of the Company consists of equity and debt. The Company''s objective for capital management
is to maintain the capital structure which will support the Company''s strategy to maximize shareholder''s value,
safeguarding the business continuity and help in supporting the growth of the Company.

~| EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS:(a) Defined contribution plans:
The Company makes contributions towards provident fund, a defined contribution retirement benefit plan for qualifying employees. The provident fund is operated by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company recognised INR 500.34 Lakhs (Previous Year INR 425.67 Lakhs) for provident fund contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.
The Company makes annual contributions to the Employee''s Group Gratuity cash accumulation scheme of the LIC, a funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The Scheme provides for payment to vested employees at retirement/death while in employment or on termination of employment as per the provisions of the Gratuity Act, 1972. Vesting occurs on completion of 5 years of service. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method as per actuarial valuation carried out at the balance sheet date.
Characteristics of Defined Benefit Plans and risk associated with them:
Valuation of defined benefit plan are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework, which may vary over time. Thus, Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit plans which are as follows:
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (i.e. value of defined benefit obligation).
(ii) Salary escalation risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan particulars in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan''s liability.
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumptions.
vii. Sensitivity Analysis for each significant actuarial assumption:
The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligations are discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
Actuarial Valuation for Compensated Absences is done as at the year end and the provision is made based on leave balances derived as per Companyâs Rules with corresponding charge to the Statement of Profit and Loss amounting to INR 55.25 Lakhs (Previous Year INR 72.76 Lakhs) and it covers all regular employees. Major drivers in actuarial assumptions, typically, are years of service and employee compensation.
The Company has taken various derivatives to hedge its risk associated with foreign exchange fluctuations. These transactions have been undertaken to act as economic hedges for the Companyâs exposures to various risks in foreign exchange markets. Forward exchange contracts (being derivative instruments), which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes are entered, which are available at the settlement date of certain payables and receivables.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy :The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are determined based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the reporting date considering the fair value hierarchy as under:
Level 1: It includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
Basis of assumptions used to estimated the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis :
Investment in Mutual Funds: The fair values represent net asset value as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements. Net asset values represent the price at which the issuer will issue further units in the mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
Derivative instruments: For forward contracts, future cash flows are estimated based on forward exchange rates and forward interest rates (from observable forward exchange rates / yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract forward exchange rates and forward interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.
(iii) Financial Risk Management
The Companyâs activities are exposed to variety of financial risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risks and price risk), credit risks and liquidity risk. The Companyâs overall risk management program seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company through established policies and processes which are laid down to ascertain the extent of risks, setting appropriate limits, controls, continuous monitoring and its compliance.
Market risk refers to the possibility that changes in the market rates may have impact on the Companyâs profits or the value of its holding of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to market risks on account of foreign currency rates, interest rates and underlying equity prices.
The Companyâs foreign currency risk arises from its foreign currency transactions and foreign currency borrowings. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement 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 Company.
The overall objective of the foreign currency risk management is to minimise the short term currency impact on its revenue and cash-flow in order to improve the predictability of the financial performance.
The major foreign currency exposures for the Company are denominated in USD. Additionally, there are transactions which are entered into in other currencies and are not significant in relation to the total volume of the foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges some trade receivables and future cash flows upto a maximum of 6 months forward based on historical trends, budgets and monthly sales estimates.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD rates to the functional currency of entity, with all other variables held constant. The Companyâs exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The impact on the Companyâs profit after tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities.
Interest rate risk refers to the possibility that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates in respect of term loan carrying a floating rate of interest. In respect of term loan, the Company has outstanding borrowing of INR 622.98 Lakhs as at 31st March 2024 (As at 31st March 2023: INR 3,123.56 Lakhs) The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change on interest rates on that position of borrowing affected. with all other variables held constant, the Companyâs profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate of borrowing as follows:
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to financial loss. The credit risk arises principally from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.
The Company establishes a loss allowance that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at reporting date is from trade receivables amounting to INR 139.07 Lakhs (31st March 2023: INR 87.30 Lakhs). The movement in loss allowance in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company generates cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations, maintains adequate liquid assets in the form of cash & cash equivalents and has undrawn short term line of credits from banks to ensure necessary liquidity.
The capital structure of the Company consists of equity and debt. The Companyâs objective for capital management is to maintain the capital structure which will support the Companyâs strategy to maximise shareholderâs value, safeguarding the business continuity and help in supporting the growth of the Company.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt (total debt less Cash and cash equivalents) divided by Total Equity.
The chief operational decision maker monitors the operating results of its Business segment separately for the purpose of making decision about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements. Operating segment have been identified on the basis of nature of products and other quantitative criteria specified in the Ind AS 108.
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing and trading in pharmaceutical products. The entire business is considered as a single operating segment for the purpose of making decision on allocation of resources and assessing its performance.

The Company makes annual contributions to the Employee''s Group Gratuity cash accumulation scheme of the LIC, a funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. The Scheme provides for payment to vested employees at retirement/death while in employment or on termination of employment as per the provisions of the Gratuity Act, 1972. Vesting occurs on completion of 5 years of service. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method as per actuarial valuation carried out at the balance sheet date.
Characteristics of Defined Benefit Plans and risk associated with them:
Valuation of defined benefit plan are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework, which may vary over time. Thus, Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit plans which are as follows:
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (i.e. value of defined benefit obligation).
(ii) Salary escalation risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan particulars in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan''s liability.
(iii) Demographic risk:
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumptions.
The following table sets out the status of the gratuity plan as required under Ind AS-19 and the amounts recognized in the Company''s financial statements as at 31 March 2023:
* The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.
**Expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the nature of assets and prevailing economic scenario.
*** The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and other relevant factors.
vii. Sensitivity Analysis for each significant actuarial assumption:
The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligations are discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
x. Expected contribution during the next annual reporting period
The Company''s best expected contribution during the next year is '' 177.55 Lakhs.
(c) Compensated absences:
Actuarial Valuation for Compensated Absences is done as at the year end and the provision is made based on leave balances derived as per Company''s Rules with corresponding charge to the Statement of Profit and Loss amounting to '' 144.71 lakhs ( Previous Year '' 48.98 Lakhs) and it covers all regular employees. Major drivers in actuarial assumptions, typically, are years of service and employee compensation.
37 The Company has taken various derivatives to hedge its risk associated with foreign exchange fluctuations. These transactions have been undertaken to act as economic hedges for the Company''s exposures to various risks in foreign exchange markets. Forward exchange contracts (being derivative instruments), which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes are entered, which are available at the settlement date of certain payables and receivables.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
viii. Investment details of plan assets:
The plan assets are managed by Insurance Company viz Life Insurance Corporation of India who has invested the funds substantially as under:
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are determined based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the reporting date considering the fair value hierarchy as under:
Level 1: It includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables categorise the financial assets and liabilities held at fair value by the valuation methodology applied in determining their fair value.
Market risk refers to the possibility that changes in the market rates may have impact on the Company''s profits or the value of its holding of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to market risks on account of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and underlying equity prices.
A1 Foreign currency exchange rate risk :
The Company''s foreign currency risk arises from its foreign currency transactions and foreign currency borrowings. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement 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 company.
The overall objective of the foreign currency risk management is to minimize the short term currency impact on its revenue and cash-flow in order to improve the predictability of the financial performance.
The major foreign currency exposures for the Company are denominated in USD. Additionally, there are transactions which are entered into in other currencies and are not significant in relation to the total volume of the foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges some trade receivables and future cash flows upto a maximum of 6 months forward based on historical trends, budgets and monthly sales estimates.
Basis of assumptions used to estimated the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis :
Investment in Mutual Funds: The fair values represent net asset value as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements. Net asset values represent the price at which the issuer will issue further units in the mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
Derivative instruments: For forward contracts, future cash flows are estimated based on forward exchange rates and forward interest rates (from observable forward exchange rates / yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contract forward exchange rates and forward interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.
(iii) Financial Risk Management
The Company''s activities are exposed to variety of financial risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risks), credit risks and liquidity risk. The Company''s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company through established policies and processes which are laid down to ascertain the extent of risks, setting appropriate limits, controls, continuous monitoring and its compliance.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD rates to the functional currency of entity, with all other variables held constant. The Company''s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The impact on the Company''s profit after tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities.
Interest rate risk refers to the possibility that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates in respect of term loan carrying a floating rate of interest. In respect of term loan, the Company has outstanding borrowing of '' 3123.56 lakhs as at 31 March, 2023 (As at 31 March 2022: '' 5624.86 lakhs ) The following table demostrates the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change on interest rates on that postion of borrowing afffected. with all other variables held constant, the Company''s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate of borrowing as follows:
The capital structure of the Company consists of equity and debt. The Company''s objective for capital management is to maintain the capital structure which will support the Company''s strategy to maximize shareholder''s value, safeguarding the business continuity and help in supporting the growth of the Company.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt (total debt less cash and bank balance) divided by total capital plus net debt.
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to financial loss. The credit risk arises principally from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at reporting date is from trade receivables amounting to '' 87.30 Lakhs (March 31,2022: 78.06 Lakhs). The movement in allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
Receivable from the customer of the Company more than 10 percent of the Company''s total trade receivables as at 31 March 2023 is Nil (March 31,2022 one customer - '' 2,585.60 Lakhs). Refer note 12 for ageing of trade receivables.
C Liquidity Risk :
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company generates cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations, maintains adequate liquid assets in the form of cash & cash equivalents and has undrawn short term line of credits from banks to ensure necessary liquidity.
