A provision is recognized when the Company has a
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are
not discounted to their present value (except where
time value of money is material) and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the
obligation at the reporting date when discounting
is used, the increase in provision due to passage of
time is recognised as finance cost. These estimates
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that
arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence
of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Company or a present obligation that
is not recognized because it is not probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle
the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases, where there is a liability
that cannot be recognized because it cannot be
measured reliably. the Company does not recognize
a contingent liability but discloses its existence in
the financial statements unless the probability of
outflow of resources is remote.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets
and commitments are reviewed at each balance
sheet date.
The Company contributed to employeeâs provident
fund benefits through a trust "Max Financial
Services Limited Provident Fund Trust" managed
by Max Financial Services Limited (erstwhile Max
India Limited) whereby amounts determined at a
fixed percentage of basic salaries of the employees
are deposited to the trust every month. The benefit
vests upon commencement of the employment. The
interest rate payable by the trust to the beneficiaries
every year is notified by the government and
the Company has an obligation to make good
the shortfall, if any, between the return from the
investments of the trust and the notified interest
rate. The Company has obtained actuarial valuation
to determine the shortfall, if any, as at the Balance
Sheet date.
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and
is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation
on projected unit credit method made at the end of
each financial year
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial
gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling,
excluding amounts included in net interest on
the net defined benefit liability and the return on
plan assets (excluding amounts included in net
interest on the net defined benefit liability), are
recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with
a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings
through OCI in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or
loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined benefit (liabilities/assets).
The Company recognized the following changes in
the net defined benefit obligation under employee
benefit expenses in statement of profit and loss
a) Service cost comprising current service cost,
past service cost, gain & loss on curtailments
and non-routine settlements.
b) Net interest expenses or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized
within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. The Company measures the
expected cost of such absences as the additional
amount that it expects to pay as a result of the
unused entitlement that has accumulated at the
reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to
be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long¬
term employee benefit for measurement purposes.
Such long-term compensated absences are
provided for based on the actuarial valuation using
the projected unit credit method at the yearend.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the
statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
The Company presents the leave as a current liability
in the balance sheet, to the extent it does not have
an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12
months after the reporting date. Where Company
has the unconditional legal and contractual right
to defer the settlement for a period 12 months, the
same is presented as non-current liability.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬
monetary benefits that are expected to be settled
wholly within twelve months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related
service are recognized in respect of employee
service up to the end of the reporting period and
are measured at the amount expected to be paid
when the liabilities are settled. the liabilities are
presented as current employee benefit obligations
in the balance sheet.
The Company has a long-term incentive plan for
certain employees. The Company recognises benefit
payable to employee as an expenditure, when an
employee renders the related service on actual basis.
Employees of the Company receive remuneration
in the form of share-based payment transaction,
whereby employees render services as a
consideration for equity instruments (equity- settled
transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined
by the fair value at the date when the grant is made
using an appropriate valuation model.
That cost is recognized, together with a
corresponding increase in share-based payment
(SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the
performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled
in employee benefits expense. The cumulative
expense recognized for equity-settled transactions
at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects
the extent to which the vesting period has expired
and the Company''s best estimate of the number
of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The
statement of profit and loss expense or credit for
a period represents the movement in cumulative
expense recognized as at the beginning and
end of that period and is recognized in employee
benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions
are not taken into account when determining the
grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood
of the conditions being met is assessed as part
of the Company''s best estimate of the number of
equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market
performance conditions are reflected within the
grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached
to an award, but without an associated service
requirement, are considered to be non-vesting
conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in
the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate
expensing of an award unless there are also service
and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not
ultimately vest because non-market performance
and/or service conditions have not been met. Where
awards include a market or non-vesting condition,
the transactions are treated as vested irrespective
of whether the market or non-vesting condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance and/
or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are
modified, the minimum expense recognized is the
expense had the terms had not been modified, if the
original terms of the award are met. An additional
expense is recognized for any modification that
increases the total fair value of the share-based
payment transaction or is otherwise beneficial to the
employee as measured at the date of modification.
Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the
counterparty, any remaining element of the fair
value of the award is expensed immediately through
profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected
as additional share dilution in the computation of
diluted earnings per share.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured
initially at fair value at the grant date using a
binomial model. This fair value is expensed over the
period until the vesting date with recognition of a
corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to
fair value at each reporting date up to, and including
the settlement date, with changes in fair value
recognized in employee benefits expense.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet
comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months
or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing
the net profit or loss for the period attributable
to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the
period. The weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period is adjusted
for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in
a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split
(consolidation of shares) that have changed the
number of equities shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings
per share, the net profit or loss for the year and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year adjusted for the effects of all
potential equity shares.
Items included in the standalone financial
statements are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the
company operates (âthe functional currencyâ). The
Companyâs standalone financial statements are
presented in Indian rupee (â^â) which is also the
Companyâs functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial
recognition in the functional currency, using the
exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.
However, for practical reasons, the Company uses an
average rate if the average approximates the actual
rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at
the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the
reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial
transactions. Non-monetary items measured at
fair value in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rates at the date when the fair value
is determined.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or
translation of monetary items are recognized as
income or expense in the period in which they arise
with the exception of exchange differences on gain
or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items
measured at fair value which is treated in line with
the recognition of the gain or loss on the change
in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences
on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized
in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or
profit or loss, respectively).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell
the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market
must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset
takes into account a market participant''s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in
its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its
highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient date are available to measure fair value,
maximising the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is
measured or disclosed in the restated financial
statements are categorized 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:
a) Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities
b) Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable
c) Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the
restated financial statements on a recurring basis,
the Company determines whether transfers have
occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re¬
assessing categorization (based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Companyâs management determines the
policies and procedures for both recurring and
non-recurring fair value measurement measured at
fair value.
At each reporting date, the management analyses
the movements in the values of assets and liabilities
which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed
as per the Companyâs accounting policies.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the
Company has determined classes of assets and
liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics
and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the
fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair
value. Other fair value related disclosures are given
in the relevant notes.
- Disclosures for valuation methods, significant
estimates and assumptions (note 36)
- Quantitative disclosures of fair value
measurement hierarchy (note 36)
- Financial instruments (including those carried
at amortised cost) (note 36)
The preparation of the Company''s standalone Ind
AS financial statements requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in outcomes that require a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of the
asset or liability affected in future periods.
Other disclosures relating to the Companyâs
exposure to risks and uncertainties includes:
- Capital management Note 43
- Financial risk management objectives and
policies Note 37
In the process of applying the Company''s accounting
policies, management has made the following
judgements, which have the most significant effect
on the amounts recognized in the standalone Ind AS
financial statements.
The Company determines the lease term as the
non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any
periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it
is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods
covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is
reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company applies judgement in evaluating
whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to
exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
That is, it considers all relevant factors that create
an economic incentive for it to exercise either the
renewal or termination. After the commencement
date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there
is a significant event or change in circumstances
that is within its control and affects its ability to
exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to
terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold
improvements or significant customisation to the
leased asset)
The Company has entered into commercial property
leases on its investment property portfolio. The
Company has determined, based on an evaluation
of the terms and conditions of the arrangements,
such as the lease term not constituting a major part
of the economic life of the commercial property and
the present value of the minimum lease payments
not amounting to substantially all of the fair value of
the commercial property, that it retains substantially
all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of
these properties and accounts for the contracts as
operating leases.
As a lessor, the Company determines the lease term
as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together
with any periods covered by an option to extend the
lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any
periods covered by an option to terminate the lease,
if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised, the
Company has several lease contracts that include
extension and termination options. The Company
applies judgement in evaluating whether it is
reasonably certain whether or not the lessee shall
exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
That is. it considers all relevant factors that create an
economic incentive for the lessee to exercise either
the renewal or termination.
The Company has neither included the renewal
period nor the period covered by an option to
terminate the lease as part of the lease term for
buildings given to leases to tenants considering
the following:
- Option of renewal of lease term is solely at
the option of lessee and the Company is not
reasonably certain that the lessee may exercise
the option of renewal, as this is outside the
control of the Company.
- Considering the current market dynamics of
rental market, the Company has estimated
that lease term for the leases will be non¬
cancellable period.
The key assumptions concerning the future and
other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year, are described below. The Company based its
assumptions and estimates on parameters available
when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about
future developments, however, may change due to
market changes or circumstances arising beyond
the control of the Company. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e. Gratuity
benefit) is determined using actuarial
valuations. An actuarial valuation involves
making various assumptions which may differ
from actual developments in the future. These
include the determination of the discount rate,
future salary increases, mortality rates and
future pension increases. Due to the complexity
of the valuation, the underlying assumptions
and its long-term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes
in these assumptions. All assumptions are
reviewed at each reporting date. In determining
the appropriate discount rate, management
considers the interest rates of long-term
government bonds with extrapolated maturity
corresponding to the expected duration of the
defined benefit obligation. The mortality rate is
based on publicly available mortality tables for
the specific countries. Future salary increases
and pension increases are based on expected
future inflation rates. Further details about
the assumptions used, including a sensitivity
analysis, are given in Note 32(i).
When the fair value of financial assets and
financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet
cannot be measured based on quoted prices in
active markets, their fair value is measured using
valuation techniques including the Discounted
Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these
models are taken from observable markets
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a
degree ofjudgement is required in establishing
fair values. Judgements include considerations
of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and
volatility. Changes in assumptions about these
factors could affect the reported fair value
of financial instruments. The Company use
Net asset value for valuation of investment
in mutual fund. Refer note 36 related to fair
valuation disclosures.
The impairment provisions of financial assets
are based on assumptions about risk of default
and expected loss rates. the Company uses
judgement in making these assumptions
and selecting the inputs to the impairment
calculation, based on Company''s past
history, existing market conditions as well as
forward looking estimates at the end of each
reporting period.
The Company assesses at each reporting
date whether there is an indication that an
asset may be impaired. If any indication exists,
or when annual impairment testing for an
asset is required, the Company estimates
the asset''s recoverable amount. An assets
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s
CGU''S fair value less cost of disposal and its
value in use. It is determined for an individual
asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or Company''s assets.
Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
considered impaired and is written down to
its recoverable amount. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre¬
tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset. In determining
fair value less costs of disposal, recent market
transactions are taken into account. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used. These calculations are
corroborated by valuation multiples, or other
fair value indicators.
The Company initially measures the cost of cash
settled transactions with employees using a
binomial model to determine the fair value of
the liability incurred. Estimating fair value for
share based payment transactions requires
determination of the most appropriate valuation
model, which is dependent on the terms and
conditions of the grant. This estimate also
requires determination of the most appropriate
inputs to the valuation model including the
expected life of the share option, volatility
and dividend yield and making assumptions
about them. For cash settled share-based
payment transactions, the liability needs to be
remeasured at the end of each reporting period
up to the date of settlement, with any changes
in fair value recognized in the profit or loss.
This requires a reassessment of the estimates
used at the end of each reporting period. The
assumptions and models used for estimating
fair value for share based payment transactions
are disclosed in note 35.
The Company applied for the first-time certain
standards and amendments, which are effective for
annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2024.
The Company has not early adopted any standard,
interpretation or amendment that has been issued
but is not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified
the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide
notification dated August 12, 2024, under
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective
from annual reporting periods beginning on or
after April 01, 2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a
comprehensive new accounting standard for
insurance contracts covering recognition and
measurement, presentation and disclosure.
Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance
Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of
insurance contracts, regardless of the type of
entities that issue them as well as to certain
guarantees and financial instruments with
discretionary participation features; a few scope
exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117 is based on a
general model, supplemented by:
- A specific adaptation for contracts with
direct participation features (the variable
fee approach)
- A simplified approach (the premium allocation
approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have material
impact on the Companyâs financial statements as
the Company has not entered any contracts in the
nature of insurance contracts covered under Ind
AS 117.
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Second Amendment
Rules, 2024, which amend Ind AS 116,
Leases, with respect to Lease Liability in a Sale
and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements
that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the
lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback
transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not
recognise any amount of the gain or loss that
relates to the right of use it retains.
The amendment is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after April
01, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively
to sale and leaseback transactions entered
into after the date of initial application of Ind
AS 116.
The amendments do not have a material impact
on the Companyâs financial statements.
There are no standards that are notified and not yet
effective as on the date.
Note:
a. During the current financial year, the Company obtained approval from the Honâble National Company Law
Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on October 25, 2024 under the approved resolution plan, for the acquisition of
Boulevard Projects Private Limited (BPPL) and development of BPPLâs mixed-use plot located in NOIDA.
The acquisition was completed subsequent to the year-end, on April 23, 2025, consequently BPPL became
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As at March 31, 2025, the Company has capital commitments
of ^1,33,486 lakhs, including ^60,290.40 lakhs payable through allotment of flats to allottees. The balance
^73,196.09 lakhs is to be settled in cash towards banks, authorities, and other creditors.
Guarantee given by the Company on behalf of its subsidiaries are as follows:
a) Max Square Limited - loan of ^21,998.13 lakhs (March 31, 2024: ^25,925.66) (Sanctioned Limit as at March
31, 2025 - ^4-0,000.00 lakhs from Axis Bank).
b) Max 128 Limited loan of ^45,000.00 lakhs (March 31, 2024: Nil) (Sanctioned Limit as at March 31, 2025
^45,000.00 lakhs) from Standard Chartered Bank and Standard Chartered Capital Limited and on Aditya
Birla Finance Bank - guarantee Nil (March 31, 2024: 7,397.09 lakhs) (Sanctioned Limit as at March 31, 2025
Nil).
c) Acreage Builders Private Limited 15,000.00 (March 31, 2024: ^Nil ) (Sanctioned limit as at March 31, 2025
^80,000.00 lakhs) from SBI, ICICI and Axis Bank respectively.
d) Max Towers Private Limited loan ^ Nil guarantee (March 31, 2024: ^23,969.12 lakhs) (Sanctioned limit as at
March 31, 2025 Nil) from HDFC Bank Limited and Bajaj Housing Finance Limited.
e) Pharmax Corporation Limited loan Nil guarantee (March 31, 2024: ^6,462.24 lakhs) (Sanctioned limit as at
March 31, 2025 Nil) from IDFC First Bank Limited.
(a) These financial statement are separate financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS-27â Separate
Financial Statementsâ.
Note:
a. The Company has given a bank guarantee of ^5,000.00 lakhs issued by IDFC First Bank Limited (March 31,
2024 - ^5,000.00 lakhs IDFC First Bank Limited) in favor of Acre 133 Trust, Asset Care and Reconstruction
Enterprise Limited (March 31, 2024 - Acre 133 Trust, Asset Care and Reconstruction Enterprise Limited ) for
bid submitted for Delhi One project.
b. The Company has received a notice under Section 25(7) of the Value Added Tax Act, 2005 for the assessment
year (AY) 2016-17. The Company declared a taxable turnover of ^3,261.22 lakhs after accounting for ^4,024.49
lakhs in expenses. The notice indicates that the deduction of expenses is allowed on the percentage of
advance received of the total consideration. The expenses above such proportionate amount were disallowed
and a revised taxable income is ^325.55 lakhs was calculated, leading to a demand of ^21.24 lakhs for the
shortfall in tax payment. The Company has replied to the above order and has assessed that it is only possible,
but not probable, that outflow of economic resources will be required. Hence, no impact thereof has been
taken in these Ind AS financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025.
i) The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 15.74 Years
(March 31, 2024 : 15.71 years)
j) The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation are after taking into account inflation,
seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The
above information is as certified by the Actuary.
k) Discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the balance sheet
date for the estimated term of the obligations.
l) The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined
benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting year.
m) Risk Exposure: Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other
regulatory framework which may vary over time. Thus, 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).
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may
arise due to non availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets
not being sold in time.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary
increase rate 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.
Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability.
The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
Prior to consummation to of above transaction, the Company converted its investment in compulsory convertible
preference shares of PCL in equity shares and post consummation Company now holds 51% and NYL holds 49%
of the share capital of MTPL and PCL. Consequently, During the current year, the Company has accounted a gain
of ^21,889.39 lakhs on its direct sale of shares to NYL and corresponding capital gain tax of ^3,268.04 lakhs
under the head other income and current tax, respectively.
Further as a precondition to the aforesaid transaction, the Company has also sold its ownership in Max House
A to Pharmax Corporation Limited (a subsidiary Company) for a consideration of ^12,500 lakhs in the quarter
ended September 30, 2024. Accordingly in current year, the Company has recognised a gain of ^5,621.06 lakhs
and corresponding capital gain tax of ^851.03 lakhs under the head other income and current tax, respectively
for this transaction.
The Companyâs business activities which are primarily real estate development through its subsidiaries and related
activities falls within a single reportable segment as the management of the Company views the entire business
activities as real estate development. Accordingly, there are no additional disclosures to be furnished in accordance
with the requirement of Ind AS 108 - Operating Segments with respect to single reportable segment. Further, the
operations of the Company are domiciled in India and therefore there are no reportable geographical segment.
The Company has constituted an âMax Estates Employee Stock Option Plan 2023â (âESOP Plan 2023â) which have
been approved by the Board in the meeting held on July 31, 2023 and by shareholders of the Company in its annual
general meeting held on December 22, 2023 generally based on similar terms and conditions to the relevant ESOP
plan of erstwhile Holding Company, Max Ventures and Industries Limited, which was merged into the Company
pursuant to the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement. The ESOP Plan 2023 provides for grant of
stock options aggregating not more than 5% of number of issued equity shares of the Company to eligible employees
of the Company and to the eligible employees of the group company(ies), including subsidiary company(ies) and/or
associate company(ies) (present or future) of the Company. The ESOP Plan 2023 is administered by the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee constituted by the Board of Directors. The ESOP Plan 2023 gives an option to the
employee to purchase the share at a price determined by Nomination and Remuneration committee (NRC) subject
to minimum par value of shares (^10/-).
33 Pursuant to the binding MoU signed with New York Life Insurance Company (NYL) for investment in Max
Towers Private Limited (MTPL) and Pharmax Corporation Limited (PCL), subsidiaries of the Company, NYL has
subscribed to and acquired shares in both MTPL and PCL by entering in Securities Purchase and Subscription
agreement and Shareholding agreement in the current year are as follows:
The management has assessed fair valuation of above balances by considering nature, maturity, reset terms,
interest rate movement over period, and any other relevant factor to that financial instrument. Basis this and
in view of the fact, majority of above mentioned financial instrument have short term maturity or reset period,
their carrying value is assessed to be not materially different to respective fair value.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments
by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable,
either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on
observable market data.
The Companyâs has instituted an overall risk management programme which also focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company''s financial performance. The
Corporate Finance department, evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the various stakeholders.
The Company is exposed to capital risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks are managed pro-actively
by the Senior Management of the Company, duly supported by various Groups and Committees.
The Company''s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order
to provide returns to its shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to provide for sufficient capital
expansion. The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in
notes 13 and 18(i), cash and cash equivalents disclosed in note 10(iii) and equity as disclosed in the statement
of financial position.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The
Company employees prudent liquidity risk management practices which inter alia means maintaining sufficient
cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit
facilities. Given the nature of the underlying businesses, the corporate finance maintains flexibility in funding by
maintaining availability under committed credit lines and this way liquidity risk is mitigated by the availability of
funds to cover future commitments. Cash flow forecasts are prepared not only for the entities but the Group as
a whole and the utilized borrowing facilities are monitored on a daily basis and there is adequate focus on good
management practices whereby the collections are managed efficiently. The Company while borrowing funds for
large capital project, negotiates the repayment schedule in such a manner that these match with the generation
of cash on such investment. Longer term cash flow forecasts are updated from time to time and reviewed by the
Investment and Performance Review Committee of the Board.
Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily
trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions
and other financial instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed subject to the Companyâs established policy, procedures and control relating to
customer credit risk management. Management evaluate credit risk relating to customers on an ongoing basis.
Receivable control management team assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial
position, past experience and other factors. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any
shipments to major customers are generally covered by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance. An
impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on Company category basis. The calculation is based
on exchange losses historical data and available facts as on date of evaluation. Trade receivables comprise a
widespread customer base. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as
low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Companyâs treasury department
in accordance with the Companyâs policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits and other
risk free securities. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss
through counter partyâs potential failure to make payments. Credit limits of all authorities are reviewed by the
management on regular basis. All balances with banks and financial institutions is subject to low credit risk due
to good credit ratings assigned to the Company.
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 risks comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and
other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market
risks include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables. The
sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025.
The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and other
post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant
Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the
financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025.
Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or 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 the Companyâs long term debt obligation at fixed interest rate.
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, expense or capital expenditure is
denominated in foreign currency). Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchasing
of goods in foreign currency. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency
transactions and follows established risk management policies. The Company does not have any material foreign
currency risk as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The Companyâs exposure to price risk arises from investments held and classified as FVTPL and FVOCI. To manage
the price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio of assets.

49A Except for events mentioned in relevant notes, there are no events occurred after the reporting year which
may impact the financial position as on March 31, 2025.
50 The Code on Social Security, 2020 (âCodeâ) relating to employee benefits during employment and post
employment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in
the Gazette of India. Certain sections of the Code came into effect on May 3, 2023. However, the final rules/

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value (except where time value of money is material) and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date when discounting is used, the increase in provision due to passage of time is recognised as finance cost. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases, where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. the Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company contributed to employee''s provident fund benefits through a trust "Max Financial Services Limited Provident Fund Trust" managed by Max Financial Services Limited (erstwhile Max India Limited) whereby amounts determined at a fixed percentage of basic salaries of the employees are deposited to the trust every month. The benefit vests upon commencement of the employment. The interest rate payable by the trust to the beneficiaries every year is notified by the government and the Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate. The Company has obtained actuarial valuation to determine the shortfall, if any, as at the Balance Sheet date. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit (liabilities/assets). The Company recognized the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under employee benefit expenses in statement of profit and loss a) Service cost comprising current service cost, past service cost, gain & loss on curtailments and nonroutine settlements. b) Net interest expenses or income Compensated absences Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such longterm compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the yearend. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The Company presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period 12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employee service up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. the liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet. The Company has a long-term incentive plan for certain employees. The Company recognises benefit payable to employee as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service on actual basis. Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transaction, whereby employees render services as a consideration for equity instruments (equity- settled transactions). The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee benefits expense. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense had the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a binomial model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in employee benefits expense. Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equities shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the effects of all potential equity shares. Items included in the standalone Ind AS financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (''the functional currency''). The Company''s standalone Ind AS financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (''Rs.'') which is also the Company''s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction. However, for practical reasons, the Company uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction. Measurement of foreign currency items at the balance sheet date Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized as income or expense in the period in which they arise with the exception of exchange differences on gain or loss arising on translation of nonmonetary items measured at fair value which is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient date are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the restated financial statements are categorized 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: a) Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities b) Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable c) Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the restated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. The Company''s management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurement measured at fair value. At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company''s accounting policies. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes. - Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions (note 36) - Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy (note 36) - Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) (note 36) The preparation of the Company''s standalone Ind AS financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Other disclosures relating to the Company''s exposure to risks and uncertainties includes: - Capital management Note 42 - Financial risk management objectives and policies Note 37 Judgements In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset) The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e. Gratuity benefit) is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of long-term government bonds with extrapolated maturity corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about the assumptions used, including a sensitivity analysis, are given in Note 32. When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. The Company use Net asset value for valuation of investment in mutual fund. Refer note 36B related to fair valuation disclosures. The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. the Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s CGU''S fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company''s assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other fair value indicators. The Company initially measures the cost of cash settled transactions with employees using a binomial model to determine the fair value of the liability incurred. Estimating fair value for share based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. For cash settled share-based payment transactions, the liability needs to be remeasured at the end of each reporting period up to the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in the profit or loss. This requires a reassessment of the estimates used at the end of each reporting period. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share based payment transactions are disclosed in note 35. A. Amended standards adopted by the Company The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. It has also been clarified how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The amendments does not have any material impact on the standalone financial statements as there is no change in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ''significant'' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ''material'' accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The company has given accounting policies disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under Ind AS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments should be applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, a deferred tax asset (provided that sufficient taxable profit is available) and a deferred tax liability should also be recognised for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations. Consequential amendments have been made in Ind AS 101. The amendments does not have any material impact on the financial statements. Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2019 notifies new standard or amendments to the standards. There is no such new notification which would be applicable from April 1,2024 Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. Customer credit risk is managed subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Management evaluate credit risk relating to customers on an ongoing basis. Receivable control management team assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any shipments to major customers are generally covered by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on Company category basis. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data and available facts as on date of evaluation. Trade receivables comprise a widespread customer base. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company''s treasury department in accordance with the Company''s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits and other risk free securities. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counter party''s potential failure to make payments. Credit limits of all authorities are reviewed by the management on regular basis. All balances with banks and financial institutions is subject to low credit risk due to good credit ratings assigned to the Company. 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 risks comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables. The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2023 and March 31,2024. The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and other postretirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31,2023, and March 31,2024. Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or 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 the Company''s long term debt obligation at fixed interest rate. 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, expense or capital expenditure is denominated in foreign currency). Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchasing of goods in foreign currency. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies. The Company does not have any material foreign currency risk as at March 31,2024 and March 31,2023. The Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement (''Scheme'') amongst Max Ventures and Industries Limited (''Transferor Company'') and Max Estates Limited (''Company'' or ''Transferee Company'') and their respective shareholders and Creditors was filed during the previous year under the provisions of Section 230 to 232 read with Section 66 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rules made thereunder. The Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench ("Hon''ble NCLT") vide its order dated July 03, 2023 approved the aforesaid Scheme. As per the Scheme, the merger of Transferor Company into Company has been accounted with effect from April 01, 2022 (Appointed Date'') to comply with the accounting treatment prescribed in the Scheme, which is in compliance with the MCA general circular no. 09/2019 dated August 21,2019. Being a common control business combination, Ind AS 103 Business Combinations requires the Company to account for business combination from the combination date (i.e., the date on which control has been transferred) or the earliest date presented in the financial statements, whichever is later. Subsequent to the period end, SEBI granted the relaxation to the Company on from the applicability of Rule 19 (2)(b) of Securities Contract (Regulation) Rule 1957 for the listing of the shares on stock exchanges. The impact of the scheme in these Ind AS financial statements is given below: (a) All assets, liabilities and reserves of the transferor company have been recorded in the books of account of the Company at their existing carrying amounts and in the same form. (b) To the extent that there are inter-company loans, advances, deposits, balances or other obligations as between the transferor Company and the Company, have been eliminated. (c) Upon the coming into effect of this Scheme and in consideration of the transfer, 1 (one) equity shares of the face value of INR 10 each fully paid-up of the Company has been issued against every 1 (one) equity shares of INR 10 each fully paid-up held by the shareholders of the transferor company. Consequent to this, the Company has issued 146,976,918 equity shares of INR 10 each fully paid-up for 146,976,918 equity shares of INR 10 each fully paid-up of Max Ventures and Industries Limited. These shares have been disclosed as ''Share capital pending issuance'' as at March 31, 2023. These shares have been issued during the year ended March 31,2024. (d) The balance of assets and liabilities transferred from the transferor company as on April 01,2022 are as follows: For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital attributable to the equity shareholders of the Group, securities premium and all other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is that it maintain an efficient capital structure and maximize 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. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, The Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company''s policy is to keep the gearing ratio between 30% to 60%. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances. The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises have been identified by the Company from the available information, which has been relied upon by the auditors. According to such identification, the disclosures as per Section 22 of ''The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (MSMED) Act, 2006'' are as follows: The Company has used accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software, except that audit trail feature is not enabled for certain changes made using privileged access rights to the application. Further, no instance of audit trail feature being tampered with was noted in respect of accounting software. 45 During the year, the Company and New york Life Insurance Company has subscribed the Compulsory Convertible Debentures of Max Square Limited and Acreage Builders Private Limited.

A provision is recognized when the
Company has a present obligation (legal
or constructive) as a result of past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are not discounted to
their present value (except where time value
of money is material) and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle
the obligation at the reporting date when
discounting is used, the increase in provision
due to passage of time is recognised as
finance cost. These estimates are reviewed
at each reporting date and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation
that arises from past events whose existence
will be confirmed by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events beyond the control of the Company
or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases, where there is a
liability that cannot be recognized because
it cannot be measured reliably. the Company
does not recognize a contingent liability
but discloses its existence in the financial
statements unless the probability of outflow
of resources is remote.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent
assets and commitments are reviewed at
each balance sheet date.
The Company contributed to employee''s
provident fund benefits through a trust "Max
Financial Services Limited Provident Fund
Trust" managed by Max Financial Services
Limited (erstwhile Max India Limited)
whereby amounts determined at a fixed
percentage of basic salaries of the employees
are deposited to the trust every month. The
benefit vests upon commencement of the
employment. The interest rate payable by
the trust to the beneficiaries every year
is notified by the government and the
Company has an obligation to make good
the shortfall, if any, between the return from
the investments of the trust and the notified
interest rate. The Company has obtained
actuarial valuation to determine the shortfall,
if any, as at the Balance Sheet date.
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit
obligation and is provided for on the basis
of an actuarial valuation on projected unit
credit method made at the end of each
financial year
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial
gains and losses, the effect of the asset
ceiling, excluding amounts included in net
interest on the net defined benefit liability
and the return on plan assets (excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net
defined benefit liability), are recognized
immediately in the Balance Sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained
earnings through OCI in the period in
which they occur. Remeasurements are not
reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods.
Net interest is calculated by applying the
discount rate to the net defined benefit
(liabilities/assets).
The Company recognized the following
changes in the net defined benefit obligation
under employee benefit expenses in
statement of profit and loss
a) Service cost comprising current
service cost, past service cost, gain &
loss on curtailments and non-routine
settlements.
b) Net interest expenses or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to
be utilized within the next 12 months, is
treated as short-term employee benefit.
The Company measures the expected cost
of such absences as the additional amount
that it expects to pay as a result of the
unused entitlement that has accumulated at
the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave
expected to be carried forward beyond
twelve months, as long-term employee
benefit for measurement purposes. Such
long-term compensated absences are
provided for based on the actuarial valuation
using the projected unit credit method at
the yearend. Actuarial gains/losses are
immediately taken to the statement of profit
and loss and are not deferred. The Company
presents the leave as a current liability in the
balance sheet, to the extent it does not have
an unconditional right to defer its settlement
for 12 months after the reporting date. Where
Company has the unconditional legal and
contractual right to defer the settlement for
a period 12 months, the same is presented as
non-current liability.
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including
non-monetary benefits that are expected
to be settled wholly within twelve months
after the end of the period in which the
employees render the related service are
recognized in respect of employee service
up to the end of the reporting period and are
measured at the amount expected to be paid
when the liabilities are settled. the liabilities
are presented as current employee benefit
obligations in the balance sheet.
The Company has a long-term incentive
plan for certain employees. The Company
recognises benefit payable to employee as
an expenditure, when an employee renders
the related service on actual basis.
Employees of the Company receive
remuneration in the form of share-based
payment transaction, whereby employees
render services as a consideration for equity
instruments (equity- settled transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions
is determined by the fair value at the date
when the grant is made using an appropriate
valuation model.
That cost is recognized, together with a
corresponding increase in share-based
payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the
period in which the performance and/or
service conditions are fulfilled in employee
benefits expense. The cumulative expense
recognized for equity-settled transactions
at each reporting date until the vesting
date reflects the extent to which the vesting
period has expired and the Company''s best
estimate of the number of equity instruments
that will ultimately vest. The statement of
profit and loss expense or credit for a period
represents the movement in cumulative
expense recognized as at the beginning
and end of that period and is recognized in
employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance
conditions are not taken into account when
determining the grant date fair value of
awards, but the likelihood of the conditions
being met is assessed as part of the
Company''s best estimate of the number
of equity instruments that will ultimately
vest. Market performance conditions are
reflected within the grant date fair value. Any
other conditions attached to an award, but
without an associated service requirement,
are considered to be non-vesting conditions.
Non-vesting conditions are reflected in
the fair value of an award and lead to an
immediate expensing of an award unless
there are also service and/or performance
conditions.
No expense is recognized for awards that
do not ultimately vest because non-market
performance and/or service conditions have
not been met. Where awards include a market
or non-vesting condition, the transactions
are treated as vested irrespective of whether
the market or non-vesting condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance
and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled
award are modified, the minimum expense
recognized is the expense had the terms
had not been modified, if the original terms
of the award are met. An additional expense
is recognized for any modification that
increases the total fair value of the share-
based payment transaction or is otherwise
beneficial to the employee as measured at
the date of modification. Where an award is
cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty,
any remaining element of the fair value of
the award is expensed immediately through
profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is
reflected as additional share dilution in the
computation of diluted earnings per share.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is
measured initially at fair value at the grant
date using a binomial model. This fair value
is expensed over the period until the vesting
date with recognition of a corresponding
liability. The liability is remeasured to fair
value at each reporting date up to, and
including the settlement date, with changes
in fair value recognized in employee benefits
expense.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance
sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand
and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value.
Basic earnings per share are calculated
by dividing the net profit or loss for the
period attributable to equity shareholders
by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period is adjusted for
events such as bonus issue, bonus element
in a rights issue, share split, and reverse
share split (consolidation of shares) that
have changed the number of equities shares
outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit or loss for
the year and the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year
adjusted for the effects of all potential equity
shares.
r. Foreign currencies
Items included in the standalone Ind AS
financial statements are measured using
the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the company operates
(''the functional currency''). The Company''s
standalone Ind AS financial statements are
presented in Indian rupee (''Rs.'') which is also
the Company''s functional and presentation
currency.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded
on initial recognition in the functional
currency, using the exchange rate prevailing
at the date of transaction. However, for
practical reasons, the Company uses an
average rate if the average approximates the
actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Measurement of foreign currency items at the
balance sheet date
Foreign currency monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at the functional currency
spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
are translated using the exchange rates at
the dates of the initial transactions. Non¬
monetary items measured at fair value in
a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair
value is determined.
Exchange differences arising on settlement
or translation of monetary items are
recognized as income or expense in the
period in which they arise with the exception
of exchange differences on gain or loss
arising on translation of non-monetary items
measured at fair value which is treated in
line with the recognition of the gain or loss
on the change in fair value of the item (i.e.,
translation differences on items whose fair
value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or
profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or
profit or loss, respectively).
Fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The
fair value measurement is based on the
presumption that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability takes place
either:
a) In the principal market for the asset or
liability, or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in
the most advantageous market for the
asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous
market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is
measured using the assumptions that
market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best
interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-
financial asset takes into account a market
participant''s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and
best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its
highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques
that are appropriate in the circumstances
and for which sufficient date are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of
relevant observable inputs and minimising
the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value
is measured or disclosed in the restated
financial statements are categorized 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:
a) Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market
prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities
b) Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement is directly
or indirectly observable
c) Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized
in the restated financial statements on a
recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between
levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorization (based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.
The Company''s management determines the
policies and procedures for both recurring
and non-recurring fair value measurement
measured at fair value.
At each reporting date, the management
analyses the movements in the values of
assets and liabilities which are required to
be remeasured or re-assessed as per the
Company''s accounting policies.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures,
the Company has determined classes of
assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset
or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for
fair value. Other fair value related disclosures
are given in the relevant notes.

- Quantitative disclosures of fair value
measurement hierarchy (note 32)
- Financial instruments (including those
carried at amortised cost) (note 32)
The preparation of the Company''s
standalone Ind AS financial statements
requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities, and the accompanying
disclosures, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could
result in outcomes that require a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of the
asset or liability affected in future periods.
Other disclosures relating to the Company''s
exposure to risks and uncertainties includes:
- Capital management Note 41
- Financial risk management objectives
and policies Note 36A
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company''s
accounting policies, management has
made the following judgements, which have
the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the standalone Ind AS financial
statements.
(a) Determining the lease term
of contracts with renewal and
termination options - Company as
lessee
The Company determines the lease
term as the non-cancellable term of
the lease, together with any periods
covered by an option to extend the
lease if it is reasonably certain to be
exercised, or any periods covered by
an option to terminate the lease, if it is
reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company applies judgement in
evaluating whether it is reasonably
certain whether or not to exercise the
option to renew or terminate the lease.
That is, it considers all relevant factors
that create an economic incentive
for it to exercise either the renewal or
termination. After the commencement
date, the Company reassesses the lease
term if there is a significant event or
change in circumstances that is within
its control and affects its ability to
exercise or not to exercise the option to
renew or to terminate (e.g., construction
of significant leasehold improvements
or significant customisation to the
leased asset)
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning
the future and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year,
are described below. The Company
based its assumptions and estimates on
parameters available when the financial
statements were prepared. Existing
circumstances and assumptions
about future developments, however,
may change due to market changes
or circumstances arising beyond the
control of the Company. Such changes
are reflected in the assumptions when
they occur.
The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e.
Gratuity benefit) is determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial
valuation involves making various
assumptions which may differ from
actual developments in the future.
These include the determination of the
discount rate, future salary increases,
mortality rates and future pension
increases. Due to the complexity of the
valuation, the underlying assumptions
and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive
to changes in these assumptions. All
assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date. In determining the
appropriate discount rate, management
considers the interest rates of long-term
government bonds with extrapolated
maturity corresponding to the expected
duration of the defined benefit
obligation. The mortality rate is based
on publicly available mortality tables
for the specific countries. Future salary
increases and pension increases are
based on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about the assumptions
used, including a sensitivity analysis,
are given in Note 30.0
When the fair value of financial assets
and financial liabilities recorded in the
balance sheet cannot be measured
based on quoted prices in active
markets, their fair value is measured
using valuation techniques including
the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
model. The inputs to these models are
taken from observable markets where
possible, but where this is not feasible,
a degree of judgement is required in
establishing fair values. Judgements
include considerations of inputs such
as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Changes in assumptions about these
factors could affect the reported fair
value of financial instruments. The
Company use Net asset value for
valuation of investment in mutual fund.
Refer note 32 related to fair valuation
disclosures
(c) Impairment of Financial assets
The impairment provisions of financial
assets are based on assumptions
about risk of default and expected loss
rates. the Company uses judgement
in making these assumptions and
selecting the inputs to the impairment
calculation, based on Company''s past
history, existing market conditions as
well as forward looking estimates at the
end of each reporting period.
(d) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each
reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any indication exists, or when annual
impairment testing for an asset is
required, the Company estimates the
asset''s recoverable amount. An assets
recoverable amount is the higher of
an asset''s CGU''S fair value less cost
of disposal and its value in use. It is
determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset does not generate cash
inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or Company''s
assets. Where the carrying amount of
an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset is considered
impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. In determining
fair value less costs of disposal, recent
market transactions are taken into
account. If no such transactions can
be identified, an appropriate valuation
model is used. These calculations are
corroborated by valuation multiples, or
other fair value indicators.
The Company initially measures the
cost of cash settled transactions with
employees using a binomial model to
determine the fair value of the liability
incurred. Estimating fair value for share
based payment transactions requires
determination of the most appropriate
valuation model, which is dependent on
the terms and conditions of the grant.
This estimate also requires determination
of the most appropriate inputs to the
valuation model including the expected
life of the share option, volatility and
dividend yield and making assumptions
about them. For cash settled share-
based payment transactions, the liability
needs to be remeasured at the end of
each reporting period up to the date
of settlement, with any changes in fair
value recognized in the profit or loss. This
requires a reassessment of the estimates
used at the end of each reporting period.
The assumptions and models used for
estimating fair value for share based
payment transactions are disclosed in
note 30.1.
The amendments replaced the reference to
the ICAI''s "Framework for the Preparation
and Presentation of Financial Statements
under Indian Accounting Standards" with
the reference to the "Conceptual Framework
for Financial Reporting under Indian
Accounting Standard" without significantly
changing its requirements.
The amendments also added an exception
to the recognition principle of Ind AS 103
Business Combinations to avoid the issue
of potential ''day 2'' gains or losses arising for
liabilities and contingent liabilities that would
be within the scope of Ind AS 37 Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
or Appendix C, Levies, of Ind AS 37, if incurred
separately. The exception requires entities to
apply the criteria in Ind AS 37 or Appendix
C, Levies, of Ind AS 37, respectively, instead
of the Conceptual Framework, to determine
whether a present obligation exists at the
acquisition date.
The amendments also add a new paragraph
to IFRS 3 to clarify that contingent assets do
not qualify for recognition at the acquisition
date.
These amendments had no impact on the
financial statements of the company as
there were no contingent assets, liabilities
or contingent liabilities within the scope of
these amendments that arose during the
period.
(ii) Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds
before Intended Use - Amendments to Ind
AS 16
The amendments modified paragraph 17(e)
of Ind AS 16 to clarify that excess of net sale
proceeds of items produced over the cost
of testing, if any, shall not be recognised
in the statement of profit and loss but
deducted from the directly attributable costs
considered as part of cost of an item of
property, plant, and equipment.

(iii) Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments - Fees in
the ''10 per cent'' test for derecognition of
financial liabilities
The amendment clarifies the fees that an
entity includes when assessing whether the
terms of a new or modified financial liability
are substantially different from the terms
of the original financial liability. These fees
include only those paid or received between
the borrower and the lender, including fees
paid or received by either the borrower or
lender on the other''s behalf.
These amendments had no impact on the
financial statements of the company as there
were no modifications of the company''s
financial instruments which were covered
by amendment.
An onerous contract is a contract under
which the unavoidable of meeting the
obligations under the contract costs (i.e., the
costs that the Group cannot avoid because
it has the contract) exceed the economic
benefits expected to be received under it.
The amendments specify that when
assessing whether a contract is onerous
or loss-making, an entity needs to include
costs that relate directly to a contract to
provide goods or services including both
incremental costs (e.g., the costs of direct
labour and materials) and an allocation of
costs directly related to contract activities
(e.g., depreciation of equipment used to
fulfil the contract and costs of contract
management and supervision). General and
administrative costs do not relate directly
to a contract and are excluded unless they
are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty
under the contract.

in making decisions about accounting policy
disclosures.
