11 Other Legal Matters & Regulatory matters
a'' Litigation under FEMA with the Directorate of Enforcement
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has levied a monetary penalty of ^329.07 million on the Company and ^35.20 million on its Principal Officer for alleged non-compliance with certain provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 ("FEMA"). Aggrieved by the adjudication orders, the Company has filed appeals before the Honâble Appellate Tribunal under SAFEMA, contesting the said penalties. Pursuant to the directions of the Honâble Appellate Tribunal, the Company has deposited 15% of the penalty amount as a precondition for hearing. The appeals are currently pending, and the matters have been listed for further proceedings.
These proceedings relate to the period prior to the acquisition of the Company by EbixCash World Money Limited (the Holding Company) under the Share Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2018. The Company believes it has substantial grounds to challenge the adjudication orders. Further, under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, any potential liability arising from these matters is covered by indemnities provided by the erstwhile Promoters. In view of the pending adjudication and the indemnity protection available, no provision has been made in these financial statements in respect of the said penalties.
b. Litigation under Service Tax and GST - Inward Money Transfer Services
The Company has received demand orders from the Service Tax and GST authorities for various periods, alleging tax liabilities on revenue earned from Inward Money Transfer Services (MTS) rendered to overseas entities. The demands are based on the classification of such services as "intermediary services," thereby denying them export status.
⢠For the Service Tax periods (2005-2008 and October 2014 to June 2017), the Company has contested the demands. The Honâble Tribunal has already ruled in the Companyâs favour for part of the period, for which the Departmentâs appeal is pending before the Honâble Supreme Court. The remaining matters are under adjudication.
⢠For the GST period (July 2017 to March 2021), the authorities have raised a demand of ^456.98 million and a penalty of ^44.26 million, for which the Company has appealed before the GST Appellate Tribunal. The Company believes it has a substantial ground supporting its position that the services provided qualify as export of services and do not fall under the scope of intermediary services. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the financial statements in respect of these matters, which are currently under litigation.
(ii) Defined benefit plan :
(a)
In respect of non funded defined benefit scheme of gratuity (Based on actuarial valuation) :
The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the said Act an employee who has completed five years of services is entitled to specific benefit. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest Rate risk : 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 (as shown in financial statements).
Salary escalation risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase 5.00% per annum of plan participants 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 planâs liability.
Actual mortality & disability : Deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
Sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring as at the balance sheet date.
All sensitives are calculated using the same actuarial method as for the disclosed present value of the defined benefits obligation at year end.
Note 47: Financial instruments - Accounting, classification and fair value measurementI. Financial instruments by category
The criteria for recognition of financial instruments is explained in accounting policies for Company:
II Method and assumptions used to estimate fair values:
1. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans and other current financial assets, short term borrowings from banks and financial institutions, trade and other payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
2. Borrowings (non-current) consists of loans from banks and government authorities, other financial liabilities (non-current) consists of interest accrued but not due on deposits, Loans (non-current) consists of deposits given where the fair value is considered based on the discounted cash flow.
3. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the present value determined using forward exchange rates, currency basis spreads between the respective currencies and interest rate curves.
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
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 :-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realized or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, the fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date. In respect of investments as at the transaction date, the Company has assessed the fair value to be the carrying value of the investments as these companies are in their initial years of operations.
Note 48: Financial Risk Management
The company has in place comprehensive risk management policy in order to identify measure, monitor and mitigate various risks pertaining to its business. Along with the risk management policy, an adequate internal control system, commensurate to the size and complexity of its business, is maintained to align with the philosophy of the company. Together they help in achieving the business goals and objectives consistent with the Companyâs strategies to prevent inconsistencies and gaps between its policies and practices. The Board of Directors/committees reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management policy and internal control system. The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit risk
⢠Liquidity risk and
⢠Market risk
The Company''s treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Treasury management focuses on capital protection, liquidity maintenance and yield maximisation.
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 trade receivables, unbilled revenue, cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.
(i) Trade receivables & Unbilled Revenue
The company provide services related to foreign exchange i.e. sale of foreign currency, prepaid forex card etc. Credit limit of customers are set in the operating software on the basis of review of financials of the customers. A default occurs when in the view of management there is no significant possibility of recovery of receivables after considering all available options for recovery. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over lifetime of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is based on the ageing of the receivable days and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The Company has not experienced any significant impairment losses in respect of trade receivables in the past years.
Unbilled revenue primarily relates to the Companyâs right to consideration for sale effected but not billed at the reporting date and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts.
The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of ^ 816.34 Million (PY: ^ 557.63 Million). The same are held with bank and financial institution counterparties with good credit ratings. Also, company invests its short term surplus funds in bank fixed deposit which carry no market risks for short duration, therefore does not expose the company to credit risk.
(iii) The Company monitors each loans and advances given and makes any specific provision wherever required.
(iv) Others
Other than trade financial assets reported above , the Company has no other financial assets which carries any significant credit risk.
II. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is 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 Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The Company''s activities are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Companyâs operations. The Company principal financial asset includes loan , trade and other receivables, and cash and other financial assets that arise directly from its operations.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as regulatory risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, trade receivables and trade payables involving foreign currency exposure, and inventories.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024. The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and
financial liabilities held at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
As the Company does not have exposure to any floating-interest bearing assets, or any significant long-term fixed interest bearing assets, its interest income and related cash inflows are not affected by changes in market interest rates. Consequently, the Company''s
interest rate risk arises mainly from borrowings obligations with floating interest rates.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. A) The Company used foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments. The use of foreign currency forward contracts is governed by the Companyâs strategy approved by the Board of Directors, which provide principles on the use of such forward contracts consistent with the Company''s Risk Management. The outstanding forward exchange contracts entered into by the company at the year end and thereafter disclosed.
The Foreign Exchange industry is regulated by the Central Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Central government''s and RBI''s, rules, regulations, and policies affect the industry and the Companyâs operations and profitability.
Note 49: Capital Management

No adjusting or significant non adjusting events have occurred between the reporting date and date of authorization of financial statements.
Note 52: Offsetting financial instruments

2.12 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company recognises a financial asset or a liability in its balance sheet only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
a. Financials Assets
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
"Initial Recognition
On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value, in case of Financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction cost are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
Financial assets are subsequently classified as measured at Amortised CostA financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)-
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL)-
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.
Derecognition of financial assets-
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s financial statements) when:
a. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b. The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either
(i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset
Ind AS 109 requires Expected Credit Losses (ECL) to be measured through a loss allowance. In determining the allowances for doubtful trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for 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 expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and allowance rates used in the provision matrix.
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instruments.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of it trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized
during the period is recognized as income / expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head ''other expenses'' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b. Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Classification as debt or equity
An instrument issued by a company is classified as either financial liability or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Initial Recognition-
Equity instruments are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss.
Subsequent Measurement-
Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities-
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Companyâs obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired.
2.13 Revenue Recognition
Effective , the Company has applied Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognised. Ind AS 115 replaces Ind AS 18, Revenue and Ind AS 11, Construction Contracts (''Not applicable to the Companyâ).
Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for services to a customer.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
(a) Sales of foreign currencies/encashed traveller''s cheques is recognised when the delivery is completed and invoice raised.
(b) Income on money transfer is recognised when the payment is made to beneficiaries of remittance.

All Employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. The benefits like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences and bonus are recognised in the period in which the employee renders this related services.
(b) Post-employment benefits
(1) Defined contribution plans : Company''s contribution paid/payable during the year to Provident fund, and ESIC are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(2) Defined benefit plans : Company has covered its gratuity liability with Life Insurance Corporation of India ( LIC ). Any amount payable to the employees in the year of separation in excess of amount received from LIC is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. The present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Re-measurement of defined benefit plans in respect of postemployment are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation.
The service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) is included in employees benefits expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
(c) Long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date. Company provides for Leave Encashment Liability on Privilege Leave, Sick Leave and Casual Leaves.
2.15 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of profit and loss on the basis of effective interest rate. Borrowing costs net of any investment income from temporary investment of related borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.16 Leases
Ind AS 116, Leases, requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease
basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
The Company as a lessee:
The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a Right-of-Use asset (RoU) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these shortterm and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. RoU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The RoU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The RoU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. RoU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related RoU asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and RoU asset have been separately presented in the Balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
2.17 Foreign Currency Transactions
Purchases and sales of foreign currencies and traveller''s cheques are accounted at the contracted rates. Other transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate at which the transaction is entered into. On settlement of such transactions the profit/loss arising from exchange differences is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss. Receipts of foreign exchange in money transfer are accounted on the prevalent bank conversion rate or forward contract rate as the case may be and the profit / loss arising from exchange differences is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the rates prevailing at the year end / forward contract rate, as the case may be. The profit / loss so determined are also recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.18 Segment Reporting
The Chief Operational Decision Maker monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit and loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.
Segment assets include all operating assets used by the business segments and consist principally of fixed assets, trade receivables and inventories. Segment liabilities include the operating liabilities that result from the operating activities of the business.
Segment assets and liabilities that cannot be allocated between the segments are shown as part of unallocated corporate assets and liabilities respectively. Income / Expenses relating to the enterprise as a whole and not allocable on a reasonable basis to business segments are reflected as unallocated corporate income / expenses.
2.19 Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.20 Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
III Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
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 :-Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realized or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, the fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date. In respect of investments as at the transaction date, the Company has assessed the fair value to be the carrying value of the investments as these companies are in their initial years of operations.
"The company has in place comprehensive risk management policy in order to identify measure, monitor and mitigate various risks pertaining to its business. Along with the risk management policy, an adequate internal control system, commensurate to the size and complexity of its business, is maintained to align with the philosophy of the company. Together they help in achieving the business goals and objectives consistent with the Company''s strategies to prevent inconsistencies and gaps between its policies and practices. The Board of Directors/ committees reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management policy and internal control system. The Companyâs financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit risk
⢠Liquidity risk and
⢠Market risk"
Treasury management
The Company''s treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyses exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Treasury management focuses on capital protection, liquidity maintenance and yield maximisation
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 trade receivables, unbilled revenue, cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.
The company provide services related to foreign exchange i.e. sale of foreign currency, prepaid forex card etc. Credit limit of customers are set in the operating software on the basis of review of financials of the customers. A default occurs when in the view of management there is no significant possibility of recovery of receivables after considering all available options for recovery. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over lifetime of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is based on the ageing of the receivable days and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The Company has not experienced any significant impairment losses in respect of trade receivables in
the past years.
Unbilled revenue primarily relates to the Companyâs right to consideration for sale effected but not billed at the reporting date and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts.
Note 46: Financial Risk Management (contd)
"The Company''s activities are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company''s operations. The Company principal financial asset includes loan , trade and other receivables, and cash and other financial assets that arise directly from its operations"
(III) Market Risk
"Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as regulatory risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, trade receivables and trade payables involving foreign currency exposure, and inventories. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023"
(a) Interest rate risk
"Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As the Company does not have exposure to any floating-interest bearing assets, or any significant long-term fixed interest bearing assets, its interest income and related cash inflows are not affected by changes in market interest rates. Consequently, the Company''s interest rate risk arises mainly from borrowings obligations with floating interest rates.â
(b) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. A) The Company used foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments. The use of foreign currency forward contracts is governed by the Company''s strategy approved by the Board of Directors, which provide principles on the use of such forward contracts consistent with the Company''s Risk Management. The outstanding forward exchange contracts entered into by the company at the year end and thereafter disclosed.
b. Reason for discrepancies :

II. Other Legal Matters & Regulatory mattersa. Case with Directorate of Enforcement on sale of SGD travel cards
The company has filed an appeal with the Hon''ble Appellate Tribunal for Foreign Exchange (ATFP), against the adjudication order, dated April 27, 2022, passed by the Special Director of Enforcement (''ED'') Southern Regional Office, disputing the monetary penalty of 1 327.22 million imposed on the Company for non-compliance with the provisions of Section 3 (A), 10(4) & 10 (5) of FEMA, 1999 & 1 35.00 million on the Principal Officer of the Company under section 42 (1) of FEMA, 1999. The matter is pending to be listed.The said matter has arisen related to the period of pre-acquisition of the Company by the current promoters, i.e. the acquisition by the EbixCash World Money Limited (Holding Company) from the erstwhile promoters of the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2018. The company believes that there are good grounds to set aside the adjudication order. Further, the company is covered by the indemnities given by the erstwhile Promoters under the Share Purchase Agreement. Therefore, if any, the liability for the payments shall be reimbursed by the erstwhile Promoters of the Company and would not have any financial impact on the company.
b. Minimum Public Shareholding:
Pursuant to Regulation 38 of the Listing Regulations, read along with Rule 19(2) and 19A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957 the Company has been non-compliant with the Minimum Public Shareholding rule. Consequently, both the Stock exchanges, on which the Company is listed, continue to levy the fines till the Company becomes compliant with the regulation.The Company has started assessing various methods prescribed by SEBI for achieving Minimum Public Shareholding and will take the required steps to ensure compliance. The company has paid the fine amounting to INR 7.30 Million in the current year and INR 6.38 Million in the previous year.
(ii) Defined benefit plan :(a) In respect of non funded defined benefit scheme of gratuity (Based on actuarial valuation) :
The gratuity plan is governed by the payment of Gratuity Act,1972. Under the said Act an employee who has completed five years of services is entitled to specific benefit. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest Rate risk : 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 (as shown in financial statements).
Salary escalation risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase 0.50% per annum of plan participants 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.
Actual mortality & disability : deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
The current service cost and the net interest expense for the year are included in the ''Employee benefits expense'' line item in the statement of profit & loss. The remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability is included in other comprehensive income.
Sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring as at the balance sheet date.
All sensitives are calculated using the same actuarial method as for the disclosed present value of the defined benefits obligation at year end.
Note 46: Financial instruments - Accounting, classification and fair value measurement I. Financial instruments by category
The criteria for recognition of financial instruments is explained in accounting policies for Company:
II Method and assumptions used to estimate fair values:
1. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans and other current financial assets, short term borrowings from banks and financial institutions, trade and other payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
2. Borrowings (non-current) consists of loans from banks and government authorities, other financial liabilities (non-current) consists of interest accrued but not due on deposits, Loans (non-current) consists of deposits given where the fair value is considered based on the discounted cash flow.
3. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the present value determined using forward exchange rates, currency basis spreads between the respective currencies and interest rate curves.
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
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 :-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realized or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, the fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date. In respect of investments as at the transaction date, the Company has assessed the fair value to be the carrying value of the investments as these companies are in their initial years of operations.
Note 47: Financial Risk Management
The company has in place comprehensive risk management policy in order to identify measure, monitor and mitigate various risks pertaining to its business. Along with the risk management policy, an adequate internal control system, commensurate to the size and complexity of its business, is maintained to align with the philosophy of the company. Together they help in achieving the business goals and objectives consistent with the Company''s strategies to prevent inconsistencies and gaps between its policies and practices. The Board of Directors/committees reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management policy and internal control system. The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

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 trade receivables, unbilled revenue, cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.
(i) Trade receivables & Unbilled Revenue
The company provide services related to foreign exchange i.e. sale of foreign currency, prepaid forex card etc. Credit limit of customers are set in the operating software on the basis of review of financials of the customers. A default occurs when in the view of management there is no significant possibility of recovery of receivables after considering all available options for recovery. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over lifetime of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is based on the ageing of the receivable days and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The Company has not experienced any significant impairment losses in respect of trade receivables in the past years.
Unbilled revenue primarily relates to the Company''s right to consideration for sale effected but not billed at the reporting date and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same type of contracts.
The ageing analysis of trade receivables (gross) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due:
The Company held cash and cash equivalent and other bank balance of '' 716.89 Million (PY: '' 795.10 Million). The same are held with bank and financial institution counterparties with good credit rating. Also, company invests its short term surplus funds in bank fixed deposit which carry no market risks for short duration, therefore does not expose the company to credit risk.
(iii) The Company monitors each loans and advances given and makes any specific provision wherever required.
(iv) Others
Other than trade financial assets reported above , the Company has no other financial assets which carries any significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk is 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 Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and excluding contractual interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
The Company''s activities are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company''s operations. The Company principal financial asset includes loan , trade and other receivables, and cash and other financial assets that arise directly from its operations.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as regulatory risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, trade receivables and trade payables involving foreign currency exposure, and inventories.The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As the Company does not have exposure to any floating-interest bearing assets, or any significant long-term fixed interest bearing assets, its interest income and related cash inflows are not affected by changes in market interest rates. Consequently, the Company''s interest rate risk arises mainly from borrowings obligations with floating interest rates.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. A) The Company used foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments. The use of foreign currency forward contracts is governed by the Company''s strategy approved by the Board of Directors, which provide principles on the use of such forward contracts consistent with the Company''s Risk Management. The outstanding forward exchange contracts entered into by the company at the year end and thereafter disclosed.
On an ongoing basis the management assess the risk of foreign currency exposure and accordingly buys and sells foreign currencies. The Company will cover this exposure on actual receipt and sales of foreign currency.
Sensitivity analysis -
A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee, by 5%, against all other currencies would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The Company''s capital management is intended to maximize the return to shareholders for meeting the long-term and short-term goals of the Company through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in the financial condition and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders (buy back its shares) or issue new shares. The Capital structure of the company consist of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Company (Comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings).
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. The Company has complied with these covenants and there have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowings.The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The primary objective of the Company''s Capital Management is to maximize the shareholder''s value. Management also monitors the return on capital. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company had no outstanding net debt as of the end of March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, the amount of which was lower than cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly, the Company has not calculated the gearing ratio or Debt to Equity Ratio.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the period ended March 31 2023 and year ended March 31, 2022

Terms / rights attached to equity shares
a. The Company has only one class of Equity Shares having face value of Rs. 10 per share.
b. Each holder of Equity Shares is entitled to one vote per share.
c. In the event of liquidation ofthe Company, the holder of Equity Shares will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
d. The Company has neither issued any bonus shares nor bought back any equity shares in the last five years immediately preceeding the balance sheet date.

The description of the nature and purpose of each reserve within equity is as follows:
General Reserve:
General Reserve is created pursuant to demerger offorex business undertaking from then parent company in FY-2010-11 and transfer from retained earnings for appropriate purposes.
Retained Earnings:

Other Comprehensive Income:
Other Comprehensive income includes re-measurement profit/loss on defined benefit plans and Fair Valuation of Quoted and Unquoted Equity Investments, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to profit and loss
The sensitivity analysis 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 projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some ofthe assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end ofthe reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
Risks associated with defined benefit plan
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and company is exposed to the Following Risks:
Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G.Sec. Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. Afall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value ofthe assets depending on the duration of asset.
Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary ofthe members more than assumed level will in crease the plan''s liability.
Investment Risk: The present value ofthe 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.
Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default will wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companies have to follow regulatory guidelines.
