4.18 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions: A provision is recognised when the
Company has a present obligation as a result of past
events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best
estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period,
taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is
measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the
present obligation, its carrying amount is the present
value of those cash flows (when the effect of time value
of money is material).
Contingent Liability: A contingent liability is
(a) a possible obligation arising from past events
and whose existence will be confirmed only by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the entity or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events
but is not recognised because;
- 1 it is not probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be
measured with sufficient reliability.
The Company does not recognise a contingent
liability but discloses the same as per the
requirements of Ind AS 37.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing
the profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weightedaverage number
of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per
share, the profit or loss for the period attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted
for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares."''
The operating segments have been identified based on
the conditions specified in paragraph 5 to Ind AS 108, i.e.
an operating segment is a component of the Company
that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating
results are regularly reviewed by the Company''s Chief
Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make decisions
for which discrete financial information is available that
is evaluated regularly by the CODM, in deciding how to
allocate resources and assessing performance.
4.21 Events after the reporting period
If the Company receives information after the reporting
period, but prior to the date when the financial
statements are approved for issue, about conditions that
existed at the end of the reporting period, it will assess
whether the information affects the amounts that it
recognises in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company will adjust the amounts recognised
in its standalone financial statements to reflect any
adjusting events after the reporting period and update
the disclosures that relate to those conditions in light
of the new information. For non-adjusting events after
the reporting period, the Company will not change
the amounts recognised in its standalone financial
statements, but will disclose the nature of the non
adjusting event and an estimate of its financial effect,
or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made,
if applicable.
5 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Ministry of corporate Affairs (""MCA"") notified
amendments on 7 May 2025 and 13 August 2025
under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2025 and the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules,
2025, respectively, which is effective from annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2025.
(i) Amendment to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107 - Supplier
Finance Arrangement:
The amendments to Ind AS 7 ''Statement of Cash
Flows'' and Ind AS 107 ''Financial Instruments:
Disclosures'' clarify the characteristics of supplier
finance arrangements and require additional
disclosures for such arrangements. The
disclosure requirements in the amendments are
intended to assist users of financial statements
in understanding the effects of supplier finance
arrangements on an entity''s liabilities, cash flows
and exposure to liquidity risk.
The Company does not have any supplier finance
arrangements during the reporting period.
(ii) Amendment to Ind AS 1 - Classification of
liabilities as current or non-current and non¬
current liabilities with covenants:
The amendment specifies the requirements for
classifying liabilities as current or non-current in
the balance sheet, and clarifies the following:
a) An entity''s right to defer settlement of a
liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period must have substance and
must exist at the end of the reporting period.
The classification of a liability as current or
non-current is unaffected by the likelihood
that the entity will exercise its right to defer
settlement.
b) If an entity''s right to defer settlement of
a liability is subject to covenants, such
covenants affect whether that right exists
at the end of the reporting period only if the
entity is required to comply with the covenant
on or before the end of the reporting period.
c) In case of a liability that can be settled, at the
option of the counterparty, by the transfer
of the entity''s own equity instruments,
such settlement terms do not affect the
classification of the liability as current or
non-current only if the option is classified as
an equity instrument.
These amendments have no effect on
the measurement of any items in the
consolidated financial statements of the
Company. The Company did not make
retrospective adjustments as a result of
adopting the amendments to Ind AS 1.
(iii) Amendment to Ind AS 12 - Pillar-Two Tax Reforms

amendments had no effect on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
The below amendments are notified but not yet
effective
Amendment to Ind AS 1 ''Presentation of Financial
Statements''- Classification of Liabilities as current
or non-current and non-current liabilities with
covenants:
The amendment includes specific provisions that
will take effect for reporting periods beginning on
or after 1 April 2026, retrospectively, as outlined
below:
i) Breach of material covenant for long¬
term loan arrangement on or before end
of reporting period with effect that liability
becomes payable on demand as on reporting
date, then it shall be classified as current
liability, if lender agreed after reporting period
and before approval of financial statements
to not demand payment as a consequence
of breach.
ii) Classify as non-current liability, if lender
agreed by end of reporting period to provide
grace period ending at least 12 months after
reporting period within which entity can
rectify the breach provided lender does not
demand immediate repayment.
iii) Disclose information about the timing of
settlement to understand the impact of the
liability on the financial statements.
The Company does not expect this amendment to
have an impact on its operations or consolidated
financial statements.
The recoverable amount is based on a value-in-use calculation using the discounted cash flow method. The value-in-use
calculation is made using cashflow projections for reasonable period which is considered by the Board. Key assumptions
for the value in use computations are those regarding the discount rates, market demand, revenue, EBITDA margins etc. The
projections are based on both past performance and the expectations of future performance and assumptions therein. The
Company estimates discount rates using post-tax rates that reflect the current market rate adjusted for specific company risk.
The weighted average post-tax discount rates used for discounting the cash flows projections is 14% and average revenue
growth considered is 15.81%, which is aligned to the average growth rate for the industry
The Company has conducted sensitivity analysis over key assumptions viz. revenue growth rates and discount rate used.
While it is unlikely for assumptions to move adversely together, it would require over an 18% change in revenue growth or a 18%
change in discount rate, for the recoverable amount of the investments to be equal to its carrying amount. These sensitivities
are carried in isolation and also do not take account of potential mitigating actions.

which it pertains.
(B) Liabilities for compensated absences

(C) Defined benefit plansI. Gratuity
The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being
carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately recognised in the other comprehensive
income and are not deferred. The plan is a funded scheme.
The Gratuity scheme is a final salary Defined Benefit Plan that provides for a lump sum payment made on exit either
by way of retirement, death, disability or voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary
and the period of service and paid as lump sum at exit. The plan design means the risks commonly affecting the
liabilities and the financial results are expected to be:
1. 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.
2. 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 of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan''s
liability.
3. Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. The entity has to
manage pay-out based on pay as you go basis from own funds.
4. 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.
37 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company is exposed primarily to credit risk and liquidity risk. The management of the Company oversees the management
of these risks. The management is supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate
financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Companies
senior management that the Companies financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that
financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Companies policies and risk objectives. The Board
of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to its bank
borrowings obtained with floating interest rates.
The Company is not exposed to the interest rate risk as there are no variable interest bearing borrowings/ investments.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates
primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the
Company''s functional currency).
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. Credit risk arises principally from the Company''s trade receivables, security deposits, bank
balances and other financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial
assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past
experience and other factors.
Balances with banks as well as cash and cash equivalents are considered to have negligible risk or nil risk, as they are
maintained with high rated banks as approved by the Board of directors.
Other financial assets mainly includes security deposit given, term deposits, loan to related parties, interest accrued on
deposits, etc. Based on assessment carried by the Company, entire receivable under this category is classified as "Stage
1". There is no history of loss and credit risk and the amount of provision for expected credit losses on other financial
assets is negligible.
The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach for measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime
expected loss allowance (ECL) for 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.
The Company uses past data and experience based on Company''s historical default rates to measure the ECL on trade
receivables. Based on evaluation carried out and to the best estimate of management, historical loss sufficiently covers
expected loss as well as future contingencies. Adjustment for forward looking factors are not considered significant,
hence no adjustment for forward looking factors is made.
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk arising out of an inability to meet financial commitments as they fall due,
through available cash flows or through the sale of assets at fair market value. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company
will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring,
as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The Company''s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition,
processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. The management monitors the
Company''s net liquidity position through forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
(v) Fair value measurement hierarchy
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly
or indirectly observable
Level 3 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, other financial liabilities and other financial
assets approximate their carrying amount largely due to short term nature of these instruments. The amortised cost using
effective interest rate (EIR) of non-current financial assets consisting of security deposits are not significantly different
from the carrying amount.
The entity''s objectives when managing capital are to:
⢠safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders, and
⢠Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Company
monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio: Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents)
divided by Total ''equity'' (as shown in the statement of financial position). No changes were made in the objectives, policies
or processes for managing capital during the reporting periods. There are no Debts taken by the Company. Therefore, Capital
structure comprised of only equity as there are no external debts availed by company.

37. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company is exposed primarily to credit risk and liquidity risk. The management of the Company oversees the management of these risks. The management is supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s senior management that the Companies financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Companies policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to its bank borrowings obtained with floating interest rates.
The Company is not exposed to the interest rate risk as there are no variable interest bearing borrowings/investments.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Companyâs operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Companyâs functional currency).
The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach for measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance (ECL) for 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.
The Company uses past data and experience based on Companyâs historical default rates to measure the ECL on trade receivables. Based on evaluation carried out and to the best estimate of management, historical loss sufficiently covers expected loss as well as future contingencies. Adjustment for forward looking factors are not considered significant, hence no adjustment for forward looking factors is made.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from the Companyâs trade receivables, security deposits, bank balances and other financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk arising out of an inability to meet financial commitments as they fall due, through available cash flows or through the sale of assets at fair market value. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The Companyâs treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. The management monitors the Companyâs net liquidity position through forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
Balances with banks as well as cash and cash equivalents are considered to have negligible risk or nil risk, as they are maintained with high rated banks as approved by the Board of directors.
Other financial assets mainly includes security deposit given, term deposits, loan to related parties, interest accrued on deposits, etc. Based on assessment carried by the Company, entire receivable under this category is classified as "Stage 1". There is no history of loss and credit risk and the amount of provision for expected credit losses on other financial assets is negligible.
(v) Fair value measurement hierarchy
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, other financial liabilities and other financial assets approximate their carrying amount largely due to short term nature of these instruments. The amortised cost using effective interest rate (EIR) of non-current financial assets consisting of security deposits are not significantly different from the carrying amount.
The entityâs objectives when managing capital are to:
⢠safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
⢠Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio: Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by Total ''equityâ (as shown in the statement of financial position). No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the reporting periods. There are no Debts taken by the Company. Therefore, Capital structure comprised of only equity as there are no external debts availed by Company.
