The Company is in the Solar EPC Solutions business. The ongoing contracts with customers are for solar utility projects. The type of work in these contracts involve construction, engineering, designing, supply of materials, development of system, installation, project management, operations and maintenance, etc.

The Company evaluates whether each contract consists of a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. Contracts where the Company provides a significant integration service to the customer by combining all the goods and services are concluded to have a single performance obligations. Contracts with no significant integration service, and where the customer can benefit from each unit on its own, are concluded to have multiple performance obligations. In such cases consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, based on standalone selling prices. Where the Company enters into multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates whether the contract is to be combined or not by evaluating factors such as commercial objective of the contract, consideration negotiated with the customer and whether the individual contracts have single performance obligations or not.

The Company recognises contract revenue over time as the performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer. For such arrangements revenue is recognised using cost based input methods. Revenue is recognised with respect to the stage of completion, which is assessed with reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for the

work performed at the balance sheet date relative to the estimated total contract costs.

Any costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying performance obligations are excluded from the Company''s input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of our transferring control of the system to the customer. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the amount of net contract revenues, including the impact of any performance incentives, liquidated damages, and other forms of variable consideration.

If estimated incremental costs on any contract, are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the year/ period the loss becomes known. Variations in contract work, claims, incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

The Company recognises revenue from Operations and Maintenance services using the time-elapsed measure of progress i.e. input method on a straight line basis.

The gross outflows disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows relating to derivative financial liabilities and lease liabilities held for risk management purposes and which are not usually closed out before contractual maturity.

HI Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign

currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company''s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.

(a) Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee.

I nterest 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 exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to borrowings from banks and financial institutions.

The Company''s fixed rate bank deposits and loan given are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. Financial liabilities included in fixed rate instruments are short term borrowings which are repaid within period of one year.

The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.

(c) Capital Management

The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ''adjusted net debt'' to ''adjusted equity''. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total borrowings, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings and obligations under leases, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted equity comprises all components of equity.

55 On 29 December 2021, the Company had signed an Indemnity Agreement with Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited, Khurshed Yazdi Daruvala (jointly the "Promoter Selling Shareholders”) and Reliance New Energy Limited (formerly Reliance New Energy Solar Limited) pursuant to which, the Promoter Selling Shareholders would indemnify and re-imburse the Company and its subsidiaries/branches for a net amount, if it exceeds '' 300.00 crore, on settlement of liquidated damages pertaining to certain identified past and existing projects (as on the date of signing the aforementioned agreements), old receivables, direct and indirect tax litigations as well as certain legal and regulatory matters. These amounts would be crystallized by 30 September 2022 and thereafter on 30 September of each succeeding year, on the basis of the final settlement amounts with customers/suppliers/other authorities. Consequently, trade receivables from customer undergoing a resolution process under the supervision of the National Company Law Tribunal (''NCLT'') and bank guarantees, if related to liquidated damages, encashed by certain customers would also be recoverable from the Promoter Selling Shareholders once crystallized, if not recovered from the customers. The Promoter Selling Shareholders are consequently entitled to net off the amounts payable, with specific counter-claims levied and recovered by the Company and its subsidiaries/branches on its customers/vendors relating to these matters.

In line with the terms of the Indemnity Agreement, the Company has subsequent to 30 September 2024, raised the claim amounting to '' 108.97 crore to be recovered from the Promoter Selling Shareholders on the basis of crystallized items for the period from 01 October 2023 to 30 September 2024 which has been received by the Company.

56 The Company had entered into a contract for a 100 MW AC Photovoltaic plant with an infrastructure company ("Customer”) to cater to power demands of a real estate developer ("Developer”). In October 2018, proceedings were initiated in the National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT”) against the Customer group and the Company issued a work suspension notice to the Customer, on account of non-receipt of balance of payments, with

a copy to the Developer. The Developer directed the Company, vide a letter, to go ahead with the works/ maintenance of the plant wherein they also assured the payment if the Customer failed to pay. Based on this assurance, the Company completed the works and as on date, the Customer / Developer owes the Company '' 92.45 crore. Company initiated the following actions: (i) Filed a claim before the Claim Management Advisors in respect of amount recoverable from the Customer group and the same has been admitted; (ii) An appeal has been admitted by the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India Vide Order dated 11 September 2023 towards proceedings against the Developer under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code; (iii) Filed a chargesheet before the Magistrate Court, Mumbai pursuant to the criminal complaint against the Developer during the quarter ended 31 December 2024. The Court has taken the chargesheet into cognisance;

(iv) also filed Summary Suit against the Developer before the Bangalore City Civil Court during the quarter ended 31 December 2024.

In addition, an amount of '' 64.10 crore, under confirmed irrevocable Letters of Credit (LC) arranged by the Customer were discounted by the Company after confirmation by its and Customer''s bank. However, the Customer''s bank refused to honour the payment citing the NCLT proceedings and the Company had to refund the amount back to its bank. The Company initiated the following actions: (i) Initiated legal proceedings before National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ("NCLAT”) in respect of amount receivable under LC by filing an Intervention Application in the main proceedings filed by Union of India against the Customer group; (ii) Lodged a Summary Suit to recover the amount receivable under the LC i.e. '' 64.10 crore plus interest against the Customer''s Bank before the Hon''ble Bombay High Court, which is pending for adjudication.

The amounts of '' 92.45 crore and '' 64.10 crore are classified under the head Trade Receivables and Other Financial Assets, respectively. Based on the legal evaluation, the Company is confident that both above amounts are recoverable. Also, both the above claims i.e. on the Developer and Customer''s Bank are covered under the Indemnity Agreement as referred in Note 55 above.

57 The Company''s international transactions with related parties are at arm''s length as per the Independent accountants report for the year ended 31 March 2024. Management believes that the Company''s international transactions with related parties post 31 March 2024 continue to be at arm''s length and that the transfer pricing legislation will not have any impact on these standalone financial statements, particularly on amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

58 The Company''s investment in a subsidiary and loans given, along with accrued interest thereon and other receivables aggregates to '' 3,022.86 crore (excluding the corporate guarantees issued in favour of the said subsidiary of '' 998.10 crores which is not expected to be invoked) as at 31 March 2025. These amounts are good for recovery based on the projected cash flows expected from revenue contracts where Letters of Intent or Memorandum of Understanding have been signed and contract closure is at advance stage, refund of encashed bank guarantees, recovery of remediation costs incurred on projects and amounts recoverable under the indemnity agreement with the Promoter Selling Shareholders. Hence, no impairment required as at 31 March 2025.

59 The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Company towards Provident fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code of Social Security, 2020 on 13 November 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders which are under active consideration by the Ministry. The Company will assess the impact and its evaluation once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.

Invoices are raised on the customers based on the agreed contractual terms and are collected within the due date from the date of invoicing as per the respective contracts.

**The contract liabilities primarily relates to the advances from customer towards on-going EPC projects. Revenue is recognised from the contract liability as and when such performance obligations are satisfied.

E) Performance obligation

The Company is in the Solar EPC Solutions business. The ongoing contracts with customers are for solar utility projects. The type of work in these contracts involve construction, engineering, designing, supply of materials, development of system, installation, project management, operations and maintenance, etc.

The Company evaluates whether each contract consists of a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. Contracts where the Company provides a significant integration service to the customer by combining all the goods and services are concluded to have a single performance obligations. Contracts with no significant integration service, and where the customer can benefit from each unit on its own, are concluded to have multiple performance obligations. In such cases consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, based on standalone selling prices. Where the Company enters into multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates whether the contract is to be combined or not by evaluating factors such as commercial objective of the contract, consideration negotiated with the customer and whether the individual contracts have single performance obligations or not.

The Company recognises contract revenue over time as the performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer. For such arrangements revenue is recognised using cost based input methods. Revenue is recognised with respect to the stage of completion, which is assessed with reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for the

work performed at the balance sheet date relative to the estimated total contract costs.

Any costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying performance obligations are excluded from the Company''s input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of our transferring control of the system to the customer. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the amount of net contract revenues, including the impact of any performance incentives, liquidated damages, and other forms of variable consideration.

If estimated incremental costs on any contract, are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the year/ period the loss becomes known. Variations in contract work, claims, incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

The Company recognises revenue from Operations and Maintenance services using the time-elapsed measure of progress i.e. input method on a straight line basis.

There is no revenue to be recognised in future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023, except as disclosed below.

The following table includes revenue to be recognised in future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as at 31 March 2024 in respect of EPC contracts that have original expected duration of more than one year:

F) Practical expedients:

Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 63 of Ind AS 115, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if at contract inception it is expected that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company applies practical expedient in paragraph 121 of Ind AS 115 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for EPC contracts that have original expected duration of one year or less.

Provision for liquidated damages:

Liquidated damages are contractual obligations affecting the contract revenue in case of the works contracts with customers arising as a result of penalties from delays caused in the completion of a contract.

In case of construction contracts, when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss (foreseeable loss) is recognised as an expense immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

Notes:

(a) Increase in Debt Equity ratio is mainly on account of increase in borrowings during the year to meet the working capital requirement of the Company and its subsidiaries along with reduction in project margins caused by enhanced sub-contractor costs and overheads which reduced the equity base.

(b) Debt Service Coverage ratio has worsened on account of increase in loss at an EBITDA level coupled with increase in borrowings during the year to meet the working capital requirement of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(c) Reduction in return on equity ratio is mainly on account of loss for the year.

(d) The Company is not engaged in the business of manufacturing or trading of goods or services and consequently this ratio is not applicable.

(e) Delay in collection of old receivables coupled with the lower turnover during the year had a consequent effect on the trade receivable to turnover ratio.

(f) Delay in collection from customer, reduction in trade payables and reduction in turnover during the year resulted in this ratio.

(g) Lower gross margin on account of enhanced sub-contractor costs and overheads due to project delays alongwith increase in interest costs resulted in this ratio.

(h) Reduction in revenue coupled with lower gross margin on account of enhanced sub-contractor costs and overheads resulted in this ratio.

(i) The Company does not have return bearing investments and hence the ratio is not applicable.

General description

Gratuity (Defined benefit plan)

In accordance with Indian law, the Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee in India who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on death or resignation or retirement at 15 days salary (last drawn basic salary) for each completed year of service.

Compensated absences (Long-term employee benefits)

Long term leave wages are payable to all eligible employees at the rate of daily gross salary for each day of accumulated leave on death or on resignation or upon retirement.

The above sensitivity analysis have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the reporting date. In practice, generally it does not occur. When we change one variable, it affects to others. In calculating the sensitivity, project unit credit method at the end of the reporting period has been applied.

Estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

The Company''s liability on account of gratuity is not funded and hence the disclosures relating to the planned assets are not applicable to the Company.

48 Disclosure under Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

A) The Company undertakes Engineering, Procurement and Construction business. The ongoing contracts with customers are for Solar utility and Rooftop Project. The type of work in these contracts involve construction, engineering, designing, supply of materials, development of system, installation, project management, operations and maintenance etc.

B) Disaggreagtion of revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by primary geographical area and the type of contract of revenue recognition. Disaggregated revenue with the Company''s reportable segments is given in note 50.

E) Performance obligation

The Company undertakes Engineering, Procurement and Construction business. The ongoing contracts with customers are for Solar utility and Rooftop Project. The type of work in these contracts involve construction, engineering, designing, supply of materials, development of system, installation, project management, operations and maintenance etc.

The Company evaluates whether each contract consists of a single performance obligation or multiple performance obligations. Contracts where the Company provides a significant integration service to the customer by combining all the goods and services are concluded to have a single performance obligations. Contracts with no significant integration service, and where the customer can benefit from each unit on its own, are concluded to have multiple performance obligations. In such cases consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, based on standalone selling prices. Where the Company enters into multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates whether the contract is to be combined or not by evaluating factors such as commercial objective of the contract, consideration negotiated with the customer and whether the individual contracts have single performance obligations or not.

The Company recognises contract revenue over time as the performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer. For such arrangements revenue is recognised using cost based input methods. Revenue is recognised with respect to the stage of completion, which is assessed with reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for the work performed at the balance

sheet date relative to the estimated total contract costs.

Any costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying performance obligations are excluded from the Company''s input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of our transferring control of the system to the customer. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the amount of net contract revenues, including the impact of any performance incentives, liquidated damages, and other forms of variable consideration.

If estimated incremental costs on any contract, are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the year/period the loss becomes known. Variations in contract work, claims, incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

The Company recognises revenue from Operations and Maintenance services using the time-elapsed measure of progress i.e input method on a straight line basis.

There is no revenue to be recognised in future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as at 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, except as disclosed below.

The following table includes revenue to be recognised in future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as at 31 March 2023 in respect of EPC contracts that have original expected duration of more than one year:

F) Practical expedients:

Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 63 of Ind AS 115, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if at contract inception it is expected that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company applies practical expedient in paragraph 121 of Ind AS 115 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for EPC contracts that have original expected duration of one year or less.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers and investment in debt securities. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure.

Trade and other receivables

The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.

The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.

Exposure to liquidity risk

The table below analyses the Company''s financial assets and financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for derivative and non derivative financial assets and financial liabilities:

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign

exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company''s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the risk management committee. The Company has applied hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss on account of foreign currency risk during the year ended 31 March 2023.

(a) Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and financing activities. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee.

The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the year.

(c) Capital Management

The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ''adjusted net debt'' to ''adjusted equity''. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total borrowings, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings and obligations under leases, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted equity comprises all components of equity. Charge for the year on goodwill amortisation has been deducted while calculating total equity of the company since it represents a pure non-cash expense.

53 On 29 December 2021, the Company has signed an Indemnity Agreement with Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited, Khurshed Yazdi Daruvala (jointly the "Promoter Selling Shareholders") and Reliance New Energy Limited (formerly known as Reliance New Energy Solar Limited] pursuant to which, the Promoter Selling Shareholders would indemnify and re-imburse the Company and its subsidiaries/branches for a net amount, if it exceeds '' 300.00 crore, on settlement of liquidated damages pertaining to certain identified past and existing

projects (as on the date of signing the aforementioned agreements], old receivables, direct and indirect tax litigations as well as certain legal and regulatory matters. These amounts would be settled by 30 September 2022 and thereafter on 30 September of each succeeding year, on the basis of the final settlement amounts with customers/suppliers/other authorities. Consequently, trade receivables from the customer undergoing a resolution process under the supervision of the National Company Law Tribunal (''NCLT''] and bank guarantees

encashed by certain customers would also be recoverable from the Promoter Selling Shareholders once crystallized, if not recovered from the customers. The Promoter Selling Shareholders are consequently entitled to net off the amounts payable, with specific counter-claims levied and recovered by the Company and its subsidiaries/branches on its customers/vendors relating to these matters.

I n line with the terms of the Indemnity Agreement, the Company has determined the crystallized claim to be levied on the Promoter Selling Shareholders for the period ending 30 September, 2022, after deduction of '' 300.00 crore to be borne by the Company and its subsidiaries/ branches, for which the provisions (including '' 142.14 crore by the Company''s subsidiaries] were recorded upto 31 December, 2021. The Company has aligned a part of this provision along certain financial heads in keeping with the crystallized claims as on 30 September 2022. Consequently, this has resulted in an increase in Other Income by '' 90.35 crore which has been offset by a reduction in Revenue from operations by '' 90.35 crore. This has no impact on the loss after tax for the year ended 31 March, 2023.

During the current year, the Company had raised Indemnity Calculation Notice on the Promoter Selling Shareholders towards the crystallized claim amounting to '' 90.14 crore comprising of '' 66.67 crore against indemnity matters and '' 2 3.47 crore towards legal fees paid by the Company for matters under dispute. As of 31 March 2023, '' 11.47 crore relating to legal fees was outstanding, which has been received subsequent to the year end.

54 The Company, entered into a contract for a 100 MW AC Photovoltaic plant in the state of Karnataka with an infrastructure company ("customer"] to cater to inhouse power demands of the large office space facilities at Bangalore of a real estate developer ("developer"]. The works were majorly completed by end February 2018 and the balance work was pending due to non-availability of land, which was in the scope of the customer. In October 2018, National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"] actions were initiated against the customer group and the Company issued a work suspension notice to the customer, for balance of payments, with a copy to the developer. The developer issued directions to the Company, vide a letter, to go ahead with the works/maintenance of the plant wherein they also assured the Company that they

would make the payment if the customer failed to pay. As on date, the customer owes the Company '' 92.45 crore. In addition, an amount of '' 64.10 crore under confirmed, irrevocable Letters of Credit arranged by the customer from their bank mainly for the supplies which had been discounted by the Company, after confirmation, both from the customer and their bank, became due. Due to the NCLT actions against the customer group, the customer''s bank refused to make the payment to the Company''s bank citing prevention against doing the same due to the NCLT order, and the Company had to return the amount back to its bank.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, the Company had initiated legal proceedings in both these matters, which are now pending with the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. Further, during the year ended 31 March 2023, the Company has filed a criminal complaint against the developer.

The Company has sought legal opinions regarding the amount due from the developer as per their assurance letter and from the customer''s bank due to failure to pay confirmed Letters of Credit and has been advised that the said amounts are recoverable. The amount of '' 92.45 crore and '' 64.10 crore is shown under the head Trade Receivables and Other Financial Assets, respectively. Both the above are covered under the Indemnity Agreement as given in Note 53 above.

55 The Red Herring Prospectus dated 29 July 2019 stated that Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited and Khurshed Yazdi Daruvala ("Selling Shareholders"] shall use a portion of the net offer proceeds towards funding full repayment of the outstanding inter-corporate deposits payable by a fellow subsidiary to the Company. The balance outstanding as at the beginning of the previou year was entirely repaid during the previous year along with all interest accrued thereagainst.

The Company has responded to queries on this matter raised by the concerned authorities. The Company, based on independent opinions from legal experts, has determined that there is no non-compliance with any provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and/or SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements] Regulations, 2018, by the Company, in respect of this matter.

56 During the current year, the managerial remuneration paid by the Company in relation to its Manager is in excess of the limits laid down under Section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with schedule V to the Act by '' 1.00 crore. The Company is in the process of obtaining approval for '' 1.00 crore towards the managerial remuneration for the financial year 2022-2023 from its shareholders at the forthcoming annual general meeting.

57 The Company''s international transactions with related parties are at arm''s leng th as per the Independent accountants report for the year ended 31 March 2022. Management believes that the Company''s international transactions with related parties post 31 March 2022 continue to be at arm''s length and that the transfer pricing legislation will not have any impact on these

standalone financial statements, particularly on amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

58 The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Company towards Provident fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code of Social Security, 2020 on 13 Novemeber 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders which are under active consideration by the Ministry.

Contracts where the Company provides a significant integration service to the customer by combining all the goods and services are concluded to have a single performance obligations. Contracts with no significant integration service, and where the customer can benefit from each unit on its own, are concluded to have multiple performance obligations. In such cases consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, based on standalone selling prices. Where the Company enters into multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company evaluates whether the contract is to be combined or not by evaluating factors such as commercial objective of the contract, consideration negotiated with the customer and whether the individual contracts have single performance obligations or not.

The Company recognises contract revenue over time as the performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer. For such arrangements revenue is recognised using cost based input methods. Revenue is recognised with respect to the stage of completion, which is assessed with reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for the work performed at the balance sheet date relative to the estimated total contract costs.

Any costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying performance obligations are excluded from the Company''s input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of our transferring control of the system to the customer. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the amount of net contract revenues, including the impact of any performance incentives, liquidated damages, and other forms of variable consideration.

If estimated incremental costs on any contract, are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the year/period the loss becomes known. Variations in contract work, claims, incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the

extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

General description

Gratuity (Defined benefit plan)

In accordance with Indian law, the Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee in India who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on death or resignation or retirement at 15 days salary (last drawn basic salary] for each completed year of service subject to maximum of '' 0.20 crore.

The above sensitivity analysis have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the reporting date. In practice, generally it does not occur. When we change one variable, it affects to others. In calculating the sensitivity, project unit credit method at the end of the reporting period has been applied.

Estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority,

promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

The Company''s liability on account of gratuity is not funded and hence the disclosures relating to the planned assets are not applicable to the Company.

Any costs incurred that do not contribute to satisfying performance obligations are excluded from the Company''s input methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of our transferring control of the system to the customer. Significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the amount of net contract revenues, including the impact of any performance incentives, liquidated damages, and other forms of variable consideration.

If estimated incremental costs on any contract, are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the year/period the loss becomes known.

Variations in contract work, claims, incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.

Contracts with no significant integration service, and where the customer can benefit from each unit on its own, are concluded to have multiple performance obligations. In such cases consideration is allocated to each performance obligation, based on standalone selling prices. Where the Company enters into multiple contracts with the same customer, the Company

evaluates whether the contract is to be combined or not by evaluating factors such as commercial objective of the contract, consideration negotiated with the customer and whether the individual contracts have single performance obligations or not.

The Company recognises contract revenue over time as the performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer. For such arrangements revenue is recognised using cost based input methods. Revenue is recognised
