28.4 Employee benefit plans

Defined contribution plans

In accordance with Indian law, eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees'' salary. The contributions, as specified under the law, are made to the Provident Fund.

The total expense recognised in profit or loss of Rs. 337.60 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2023: (Last year - Rs.296.96 Lakhs) represents contribution paid to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plan.

Defined benefit plans a) Gratuity

Gratuity is payable as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. In terms of the same, gratuity is computed by multiplying last drawn salary (basic salary including dearness Allowance if any) by completed years of continuous service with part thereof in excess of six months and again by 15/26. The payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, provides for a vesting period of 5 years for withdrawal and retirement and a monetary ceiling on gratuity payable to an employee on separation, from time to time.

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

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

Interest risk A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan''s debt investments. Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan''s liability.

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

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DISCLOSURES UNDER INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTD.)

The employees'' gratuity fund scheme is managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The Company makes annual contributions to the plan. Commitments are actuarially determined at year-end. Actuarial valuation is based on "Projected Unit Credit" method.

The company operates a leave encashment scheme, which is an unfunded scheme. The present value of obligation under this schemes is based on an actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

In view of the fact that the Company for preparing the sensitivity analysis considers the present value of the defined benefit obligation which 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.

Segment Information

The Company has only one reportable segment. The business of the company currently is into manufacture and sale of dry batteries, trading lighting products and other home appliances which comes under a single business segment known as consumer goods. This clasification based on the nature of the products, risks, returns and the internal business reporting system and accordingly there is no other reportable segment in terms of IndAS 108 operating segment.

* The remuneration to the key management personnel does not include provisions made for gratuity and leave benefits, as they are determined on an actuarial basis for the company as a whole and cost accrued for share based payments options provided to KMP

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Risk management Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

The company has exposure to the following risks arising from its financial risk management:

Credit risk Liquidity risk Commodity price risk Foreign currency risk

The Company manages its financial operations with its own accruals and hence is not subject to interest rate risk. The company manages its working capital with its own stock and debtors. However, the overdraft/ cash credit facility from our bankers are utilised to manage the working capital gap as and when required. The company does not forsee any requirement for long term funding in the near future.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s trade receivables, deposits and other financial assets.

The company has established a strong liquidity damage agreement with its customers. The normal credit period for trade receivables are 15 days / 45 days and any settlement beyond 15 / 45 to 90 days and thereafter the same is compensated by and agreed interest on outstanding amounts.

The company based on internal assessment which is driven by the historical experience and current facts available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof, has decided not to make any provision for the expected credit loss of trade receivables.

Liquidity risk management

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 average credit period for purchase of materials and traded products ranges from 30 to 60 days and the company settles the significant portion of the obligation within the aforesaid credit period. The company''s working capital is adequately supported by Stock, Book debts and Bank overdraft/ CC facilities.

For the years 1981-82 to 1985-86 and 1987-88 however, on a reference on the question of Revisional Jurisdiction, to a larger Bench of A.P. High Court, order was passed in October 2001 in favour of the Company, quashing the Revisional Notices issued by the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes.

Against this, A.P. Salestax Authorities have filed Special Leave Petitions before the Supreme Court for the above years, which have been admitted. The Apex Court however did not grant the department’s request for stay of operation of High Court’s order.

The disputed sales tax liability in respect of these years viz. from 1981-82 to 1985-86 and 1987-88 is Rs.20.62 Crores which remains to be provided for.

In respect of the completed assessments for the subsequent years viz., 1988-89 to 2007-08 no such liability arose as the Assessing Authority himself has allowed exemption of sales-tax on the stock transfers made by the company.
