6. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period
when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash
outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability require the application of judgement to
existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed
regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events the existence of which will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events or a present obligation that arises from
past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of
the amount cannot be made.
Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statement. But it is required to disclose when inflow is probable
but virtually certain.
Provision for Expected Credit Loss:
The Company generally operates on a cash and carry model except in the case of franchisee partners where there are adequate
controls in place, and hence the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables is insignificant. The concentration of credit risk is
also limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.
7. Employee Benefits:
(i) Short-Term Employee Benefits:
The distinction between short-term and long-term employee benefits is based on expected timing of settlement rather than the
employee''s entitlement benefits. All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short¬
term benefits. Such benefits include salaries, wages, bonus, short-term compensated absences, awards, ex-gratia, performance pay etc.
and are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to
be paid as current employee benefit obligation in the balance sheet.
(ii) Long-Term Employee Benefits:
The Company''s net obligation in respect of other long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have
earned in return for their service in the current and previous periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.
(iii) Post-Employment Benefits:
The company operates the following post-employment benefits:
a. Defined benefit plans - Gratuity
The company operates one defined benefit plans for its employees, viz. gratuity. The present value of the obligation under such defined
benefit plans is determined based on the actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method as at the date of the Balance sheet.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on
the net defined benefit liability, are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained
earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements;
b. Defined contribution plans - Provident fund
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company recognizes contribution payable to
the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for
service received before the period end date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a
liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services
received before the period end date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a
reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
8. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or
loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are
recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this
case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility
will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it
relates.
Borrowings are derecognized from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the
consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other
gains/(losses). Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
9. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs includes interest and ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as a part of the cost of the respective asset until such time that the
assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Borrowing cost is calculated as per the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. It is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future
cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial liability or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the amortized cost
of a financial liability after considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument.
10. Earnings Per Share
(i) Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of
potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
(ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
11. Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee:
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract
and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease
component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease
commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement
of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus
any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset
or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less any
accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-
of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of
right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and
equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the
lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate
cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the
Company, on a lease-by-lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental
borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value
guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is
subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to
reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect
revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to
modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification.
Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease
liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.
A short term lease is the lease that at the at the date of commencement has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include a
option to purchase the underlying asset in such cases the lessee shall recognise lease payment associated with such lease as expense on
straight line basis
Company as a lessor:
In case of sub-leasing, where the Company, being the original lessee and intermediate lessor, grants a right to use the underlying asset
to a third party, the head lease is recognised as lease liability and sub-lease is recognised as lease receivables in the Balance Sheet of
the Company. Interest expense is charged on the lease liability and finance income is recognised on lease receivables in the statement
of profit or loss account.
Notes Forming Part of Standalone Financial Statements,
12. Inventories
Inventory is valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory of the Company includes stock physically present at its sale
counters. Cost of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase and, other duties and taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable
from tax authorities), costs of conversion and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition.
Silver inventory is measured using the retail method in accordance with Ind AS 2 - Inventories Net realisable value represents
the estimated selling price for inventories less estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the completed number of years of service. The Company makes
provision of such gratuity liability in the books of accounts on the basis of actuarial valuation as per the Projected Unit
Credit method.
Risk analysis
A. Actuarial Risk
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
i. Adverse Salary Growth Experience:
Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is
higher than expected.
ii. Variability in mortality rates:
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier
than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an
actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
iii. Variability in withdrawal rates:
If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid
earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B. Liquidity Risk
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If
some of such employees resign/retire from the Company there can be strain on the cash flows.
C. Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One
actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An
increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits and vice versa. This assumption
depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in
the yields as at the valuation date.
D. Legislative Risk
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may
amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly
affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognised immediately in the year
when any such amendment is effective.
Notes:
1) Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with Indian Assured Lives Mortality Table
(IALM) 2012-2014 Ultimate, as issued by Institute of Actuaries of India
2) The assumed discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the balance sheet date on Govt. bonds. The
tenure has been considered taking into account the past longterm trend of employeesâ average remaining service life which
reflects the average estimated term of the post- employment benefit obligations.
3) The average rate of increase in compensation levels is determined by the Company, considering factors such as, the
Companyâs past compensation revision trends and managementâs estimate of future salary increases.
Sensitivity Analysis
The key actuarial assumptions to which the defined benefit plans are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and full
salary escalation rate. The sensitivity analysis below, have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the
assumptions occurring at end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The result of sensitivity
analysis is given below:
The management assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and other
current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts, largely due to the short term nature of these
balances.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The management assessed that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments are reasonable approximations of fair
values.
38 Financial Risk Management
The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade payable and other payables. The main
purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations and to provide guarantees to support its
operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include loans given, investments, trade and other receivables, and
cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures
and financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.
(a) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency
exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The company''s exposure to market risk is
primarily on account of Interest rate fluctuations
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Company''s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term
financing. At the balance sheet date, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings
at variable interest rates.
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. The Company has no outstanding exposure as at reporting period.
(iii) Price risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in silver & gold prices arising from the purchase and sale of silver & gold. To
manage this variability, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk associated with silver &
gold price fluctuations relating to the inventory held by the Company.These derivative financial instruments primarily
comprise future commodity contracts. As the value of the derivative instruments generally changes in response to the
value of the hedged item, an economic relationship is established between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. As
at the reporting date, the Company did not have any outstanding derivative contracts for silver and gold.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations 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 and financial institution and other financial instruments.
i. Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the established policy, procedures and control relating to
customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large
number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The
assessment is based on historical information of defaults. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the
carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates
the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and
operate in largely independent markets.
39 Segment Information
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues
and incur expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company''s other components. All operating segments''
operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company''s Board of Directors (BOD), which has been identified as being
the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess
their performance.
The Company is engaged in the business of trading costume jewellery, articles of silver and other articles. The CODM
evaluates the Company''s performance and allocates resources based on the analysis of the various performance indicator
of the Company as a single unit. Therefore, there is no reportable segment for the Company as per the requirements of Ind
AS 108 "Operating Segmentsâ.
⢠Information about geographical areas
The Company has operations only in India; hence there are no separately reportable geographical segments for the
Company as per the requirements of Ind AS 108 - "Operating Segmentsâ.
⢠Information about major customers
There is no single customer or customer group who accounts for more than 10% of the total revenue of the Company.
41 Capital Management
The Company''s capital management objectives are
⢠to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern
⢠to create value for shareholders by facilitating the meeting of long term and short term goals of the Company
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business plan coupled with long term and short term strategic expansion plans. The
funding needs are met through equity, cash generated from operations, long term and short term bank borrowings.
The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.
-The company has no debt obligation for repayment as on 31st March 2025 (Previous year 173.13 Lakhs)
* Gross Debt Includes Short term and long term borrowings
** Cash and cash marketable securities includes the cash in hand FY 2024-25^ 6.46 (^ in lakhs) FY 23-24 ^ 9.63(^ in lakhs), balances with current
accounts FY 2024-25 ^ 1127.1 (^ in lakhs) FY 23-24 ^ 60.46(^ in lakhs) and Fixed deposits having original maturity ofless than 3 months FY 2024-25 ^
853.04C? in lakhs) FY 23-24 ^ 0(? in lakhs)
-A decline in the Net gearing ratio indicates reduced reliance on debt financing relative To equity. This often signifies improved financial stability, lower financial risk,
and enhanced Capacity to withstand economic uncertainties.
45 The comparative figures of March 31st, 2024 are reclassified and regrouped wherever necessary.
46 With reference to the relevant statutory dues to government, annual returns are yet to be filled with the respective authorities (being due dates are after reporting
dates), hence the statutory balance payable are as per books of accounts which are subject to reconciliation with the returns.
47 There are no contingent liabilities and commitments as on March 31,2025 and as on March 31, 2024.
48 The value of inventory as reported in the financial statements differs from the value disclosed in the inventory statement submitted to the bank. This variance is
primarily due to the inclusion of costume jewellery, non-silver and direct expenses items in the financial statement inventory valuation, which have not been
considered in the inventory statement submitted to the bank, as the company does not offer these items as collateral.
49 Other Statutory Information :
a. The Company does not have any Benami property and there are no proceeding initiated or pending against the Company for holding any benami property
under the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988 (45 of 1988) and the rules made thereunder.

Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation by one percentage, keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant. The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is not probable, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Notes:
All related party contracts / arrangements have been entered on arms' length basis.
Review of outstanding balances is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates. These balances are unsecured.
Level 1- Quoted Prices unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilties
Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

At the balance sheet date, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest rates.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis:
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the reporting date. For floating rate borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year. The impact on the Company's profit if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant:
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has no outstanding exposure as at reporting period.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations 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 and financial institution and other financial instruments.
i. Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The assessment is based on historical information of defaults. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.
38 Segment Information
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's Board of Directors (BOD), which has been identified as being the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The Company is engaged in the business of trading costume jewellery, articles of silver and other articles. The CODM evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on the analysis of the various performance indicator of the Company as a single unit. Therefore, there is no reportable segment for the Company as per the requirements of Ind AS 108 âOperating Segments".
⢠   Information about geographical areas
The Company has operations only in India; hence there are no separately reportable geographical segments for the Company as per the requirements of Ind AS 108 - âOperating Segments". 1

(m) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a 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.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best management 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 recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognised a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the Financial Statements.
Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the Financial Statements. If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognised in the Financial Statements of the period in which the change occurs. If an inflow of economic benefits has become probable, an entity discloses the contingent asset.
(n) Retirement and other employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Short term employee benefits are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the related service is rendered. The liabilities are presented as current liability in the Balance Sheet.
Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) defined contribution plans such as provident fund and
(b) defined benefit plans such as gratuity
⢠Defined contribution plans - Provident fund
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the period end date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the period end date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
⢠Defined benefit plans - Gratuity obligations
Retirement benefit in the form of gratuity is a defined benefit scheme. Gratuity liability of employees is accounted for on the basis of actuarial valuation on Projected Unit Credit method at the close of the period.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability, are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
⢠Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
⢠Net interest expense or income.
(o) Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale
Discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and represents a major line of business.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through a sale (rather than through continuing use) when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset (or disposal group) and the sale is highly probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(p) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
i. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the following categories:
⢠Debt instruments at amortized cost
⢠Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
⢠Equity instruments, Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
⢠Debt instruments at amortized cost
A âdebt instrumentâ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.
⢠Debt instrument at FVTOCI
A âdebt instrumentâ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
b) The assetâs contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned while holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
⢠Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as at FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as âaccounting mismatchâ).
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
⢠Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 âFinancial Instrumentsâ are measured at fair value. The Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value in case of equity investments which are not held for trading. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Reclassification
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Companyâs balance sheet) when:
⢠The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
⢠The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a âpassthroughâ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Companyâs continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
For the purpose of transition to Ind AS, the Company has applied derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the transition date.
Impairment
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
ii. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Companyâs financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
⢠Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments.
⢠Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains / losses attributable to changes in own credit risk is recognised in OCI. These gains / losses are not subsequently transferred to Profit & Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
iii. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(q) Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, investments in mutual funds and equity shares at fair value at each reporting date.
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:
⢠In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
⢠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 participantâs 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 data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Financial Statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - This hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, exchange traded funds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing Net Assets Value (NAV). NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units and will redeem such units of mutual fund to and from the investors.
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the period. The Company''s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy level as at the end of reporting period.
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.
(r) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand short-term deposits of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared under the "Indirect Method" as set out in the Ind AS -7 on Statement of Cash Flow as notified under Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2015.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
(t) Dividends
Final dividends on shares are recorded as liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and the interim dividends are recognised as liability on the date of declaration by the Companyâs Board of Directors.
(u) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transaction and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rate are generally recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
(v) Government grants and subsidies
Grants / subsidies that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as other operating income on a systematic basis in the periods in which such expenses are recognised.
3. Recent Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31,2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:
IND AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
This amendment requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
This amendment has introduced a definition of âaccounting estimatesâ and included amendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1,2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
This amendment has narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its standalone financial statement
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
⢠Liquidity Risk
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the Company there can be strain on the cash flows.
⢠Market Risk
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits and vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/govemment bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
⢠Legislative Risk
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the
investments, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Companyâs financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Companyâs policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing. At the balance sheet date, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest rates.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis:
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for nonderivative instruments at the reporting date. For floating rate borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year. The impact on the Companyâs profit if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant:
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations 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 and financial institution and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to the established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security.
