This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, mutual funds and forward contracts that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
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.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
* the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 3 except for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.
iii) Valuation processes
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Note 40: Financial risk management
The companyâs activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.
The Board provides guiding principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as credit risk, liquidity risk, and Foreign Exchange Risk effecting business operations. The companyâs risk management is carried out by the management as per guidelines and policies approved by the Board of Directors.

based on historical data of the Company. The company has provisioning policy for expected credit losses. There is no credit risk in bank deposits which are demand deposits. The credit risk is minimum in case of entity / person to whom loan has been given.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 is the carrying value of such trade receivables as shown in note 12 of the financials.

The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimise the volatility of the INR cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
The companyâs risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 70% of forecasted receivables for the subsequent 18 months. As per the risk management policy, foreign exchange forward contracts are taken to hedge round 50% to 70% of the forecasted receivables.

During the year March 31, 2023, the Company''s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in INR.
The companyâs fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The companyâs exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the company and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss.
To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the company.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 is the carrying value of such trade receivables as shown in note 11 of the financials.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the companyâs liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
The company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the companyâs functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimise the volatility of the INR cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
The companyâs risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 70% of forecasted receivables for the subsequent 18 months. As per the risk management policy, foreign exchange forward contracts are taken to hedge round 50% to 70% of the forecasted receivables.
The companyâs main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the company to cash flow interest rate risk. company policy is to maintain most of its borrowings at fixed rate using interest rate swaps to achieve this when necessary.
The companyâs fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The companyâs exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the company and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss.
To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the company.
All of the companyâs equity investments are publicly traded.
a) Risk management
For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The primary objective of the Company capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a debt equity ratio and is measured by borrowings divided by total equity. Borrowing includes current maturities of long term borrowings.
The Company has an investment in the financial statements of Rs. 646.52 million (Previous year Rs. 646.30 million) in two of its wholly owned subsidiaries and has also extended advances of Rs. 0.05 million (Previous year Rs. 13.14 million) to these subsidiaries as on March 31, 2021. The net worth of these subsidiaries as on March 31, 2021 is Rs. 509.11 million (Previous year Rs. 539.57 million) which is lower than the amount of investment. The investment is for long term and of strategic nature. As the management is confident of turning around these subsidiaries in the near future and hence, no provision for diminution in the value of investment and advances has been considered necessary by the management.
No single customer represents 10% or more of the Company''s total revenue during the year ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.
While disclosing the aggregate amount of transaction price yet to be recognised as revenue towards unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations, along with the broad time band for the expected time to recognise those revenues, the Company has applied the practical expedient in Ind AS 115. Accordingly, the Company has not disclosed the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations which pertain to contracts where revenue recognise corresponds to the value transferred to customer typically involving time and material, outcome based and event based contracts. Unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations are subject to variability due to several factors such as terminations, changes in scope of contracts, periodic revalidations of estimates, economic factors (changes in currency
The Company had earlier stake in Datamatics Digital Limited (formerly known as Techjini Solutions Private Limited) ("DDL") various tranches and owned 81.09% stake in DDL as on 1 April 2019. Thereafter, the Company had acquired the balance 18.91% stake on 14 May 2019, thereby making DDL a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Thereafter, vide Board Meeting dated 13 November 2019, the Company had approved the amalgamation of DDL with itself through a Scheme of Arrangement u/s 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Scheme") with an Appointed Date of 1 June 2019.
Since DDL is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, no further shares would be required to be issued by the Company to the shareholders of DDL since the entire share capital of DDL is held by the Company. Further, since this Scheme provides for amalgamation of a wholly owned subsidiary with its 100% holding company, the requirement of obtaining a No Objection Letter from the stock exchanges and SEBI under SEBI Circular dated 10 March 2017 was not applicable. However, for the purposes of disclosure, the Company had filed a copy of the board resolution and draft Scheme with the stock exchanges.
Subsequent to the above, the Company had filed an application (C.A. (CAA) No. 3749 of 2019) with the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, ("NCLT") for seeking dispensation for convening meeting of shareholders and the creditors of the Company and DDL and also seeking directions to, inter alia, serve notices to various regulatory authorities viz., the concerned Income-tax Authority, the Regional Director, Western Region, Mumbai, the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai, the Official Liquidator, Mumbai (insofar as DDL is concerned) and SEBI and the stock exchanges (insofar as the Company is concerned). The NCLT was pleased to dispense with the meeting of the shareholders and the creditors of the Company and DDL and also direct the Company and DDL to, inter alia, serve notices as above, vide its order dated 20 February 2020.
DDL was partly acquired by DGSL from an unrelated party in FY 2018-19 and partly in FY 2019-20 such that DDL became a wholly owned subsidiary of DGSL on May 15, 2019 (i.e. prior to the Appointed Date, being 1 June 2019). In line with the earlier intention of DGSL, it was contemplated by DGSL to merge DDL with itself, immediately subsequent to the acquisition of 100% in DDL by DGSL. Therefore, the intermediate step of acquisition of shares along with the subsequent intention to merge DDL with DGSL is considered to be a single business combination. In the context of a composite arrangement of acquisition of shares of DDL from an unrelated party followed by a merger of DDL with DGSL, DGSL has applied "acquisition method" of accounting under Ind AS 103 to account for the said acquisition of DDL by DGSL so as to represent genuine substantive business combination of DDL (previous controlled by unrelated parties) with DGSL.
The Company and DDL have complied with all the requisite filings as per directions of the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench ("NCLT"). The NCLT has approved the merger of DDL with the Company vide order no. CP (CAA) 970/30-232/MB/2020 dated November 06, 2020. In view thereof, since the merger of DDL with DGSL is effective from June 01, 2019 i.e. the appointed date, the accounting effect of the merger was given during the current year w.e.f. the appointed date. Consequently, all relevant figures of the previous year ended March 31, 2020 pertaining to the standalone financial statements have been restated.
The NCLT has passed the order of DGSL-DDL merger vide order no. CP (CAA) 970/30-232/MB/2020 dated November 06, 2020. Hence the books of DDL has been merged with DGSL w.e.f. June 1, 2019. Following is the calculation of goodwill arising out of transaction.
As per Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2013 issued by the Central Government, in consultation with National Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards (''NACAS'') and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable, the carrying value of the asset has been reviewed for impairment of assets and there is no impairment of assets.
The Management is of the opinion that its international transactions are at arm''s length as per the independent accountants certificate for the year ended March 31,2021. The Management continues to believe that its international transactions during the current financial year are at arm''s length and that the transfer pricing legislation will not have any impact on these financial statements, particularly on amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.
Note 54: Code on Social Security, 2020
The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 on November 13, 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders which are under active consideration by the Ministry. The Company will assess the impact and its evaluation once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.
Note 55: Impact of COVID - 19 Pandemic
The company has assessed the possible effects that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic on the carrying amounts of receivables, unbilled revenues, goodwill, intangibles, investments and other assets / liabilities. Based on the current indicators of economic conditions, the company expects to recover the carrying amount of all its assets. The actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these standalone financial statements and the company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to the economic conditions in the future.

i) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.
To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, mutual funds and forward contracts that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-thecounter 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.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
* the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 3 except for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.
(iii) Valuation processes
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
1. Financial risk management
The companyâs activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact of hedge accounting in the financial statements
The Board provides guiding principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as credit risk, liquidity risk, and Foreign Exchange Risk effecting business operations.

A. Exemptions and exceptions availed
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
A.1 Ind AS optional exemptions
A.1.1 Deemed Cost - Property, Plant and Equipment, Capital work-in-progress and Intangible Assets
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets.

The company had designated various hedging relationships as cash flow hedges under the previous GAAP. On date of transition to Ind AS, the entity had assessed that all the designated hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting as per Ind AS 109. Consequently, the company continues to apply hedge accounting on and after the date of transition to Ind AS.
A. 2.2 Estimates
An entityâs estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.
Ind AS estimates as at 1 April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:
* Investment in equity instruments carried at FVPL or FVOCI;
* Investment in debt instruments carried at FVPL; and
* Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.
A.2.4De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entityâs choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognised as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.
The company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
B. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
C. Notes to first-time adoption:
Note 1: Fair valuation of investments
Under the previous GAAP, investments in equity instruments and mutual funds were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and readability. Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments (other than equity instruments designated as at FVOCI) have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2017. This increased the retained earnings by Rs. 568.60 million as at 31 March 2017 (1 April 2016 - Rs. 581.60 million). This has resulted in an increase in profit for the year ended 31 March 2017 by Rs. 10.32 million.
Fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI have been recognised in FVOCI - Equity investments reserve as at the date of transition and subsequently in the other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2017. This increased other reserves by Rs. 2.68 million as at 31 March 2017 (1 April 2016 - Rs. 3.95 million).
Note 2: Proposed dividend
Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognised as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend (including dividend distrubution tax Rs. 3 million) of Rs. 17.74 million as at 31 March 2017 included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.
Note 3: Deferred tax
Deferred tax have been recognised on the adjustments made on transition to Ind AS. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) entitlement is classified as deferred tax assets. There is no impact on the total equity and total comprehensive income as at 31 March 2017 (1 April 2016).
Note 4: Trade receivables
As per Ind AS 109, the company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance for doubtful debts. As a result, the allowance for doubtful debts increased by Rs. 119.01 million as at 31 March 2017 (1 April 2016 - INR 119.01 million). Consequently, the total equity as at 31 March 2017 decreased by Rs. 119.01 million (1 April 2016 - Rs. 119.01 million).
Note 5: Borrowings
Ind AS 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards origination of borrowings to be deducted from the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognised in the profit or loss over the tenure of the borrowing as part of the interest expense by applying the effective interest rate method.
Under previous GAAP, these transaction costs were charged to profit or loss as and when incurred. Accordingly, borrowings as at 31 March 2017 have been reduced by Rs. 1.66 million (1 April 2016 - Rs. 1.06 million) with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. The total equity increased by an equivalent amount. The profit for the year ended 31 March 2017 reduced by Rs. 0.46 million as a result of the additional interest expense.
Note 6: Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations
Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended 31 March 2017 increased by Rs. 5.74 million (1 April 2016 Rs. Nil). There is no impact on the total equity as at 31 March 2017 (1 April 2016).
Note 7: Goodwill
Under previous GAAP, Goodwill created on merger were amortised over period of 5 years. Under Ind AS, Goodwill is tested for impairment and not amortised over a specified period. Hence, Goodwill reinstated as on 1 April 2016. As a result of this, Profit for the year ended 31 March 2017 increased by Rs. 24.81 million (1 April 2016 Rs. Nil). Accordingly, Retained earnings also increased by Rs. 24.81 million.
Note 8 : Property, Plant and equipment
Leasehold land is amortised over a period of lease. This has been resulted in decrease in retained earnings as at 31 March 2017 Rs. 34.25 million. ( 1 April 2016 - Rs. 34.25 million).
Note 9 : Fair valuation of corporate guarantee
Under previous GAAP, corporate guarantee were not accounted for and only disclosure was required. Under Ind AS, corporate guarantee needs to accounted for at fair value. Hence, fair value of corporate guarantee has been accounted as financial liability representating corresponding financial asset as recoverable from subsidiary as at 31 March 2017 - Rs. 19.88 million (1 April 2016 - Rs. 19.88 million).
Note 10: Retained earnings
Retained earnings as at April 1, 2016 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments. Note 11: Other comprehensive income
Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognised in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as âother comprehensive incomeâ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans, foreign exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations, effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedging instruments and fair value gains or (losses) on FVOCI equity instruments. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.
16. Events occuring after Balance Sheet date :
Dividend
Dividends paid during the year ended March 31, 2018 include an amount of Rs. 0.75 per equity share towards final dividend for the year ended March 31, 2017 and an amount of Rs. 0.50 per equity share towards interim dividend for the year ended March 31, 2018.
