Total receivable outstanding as on 31 March 2023 is ? 1,772.00 lakhs towards differential rate of renewal energy certificates. The Company is closely monitoring the status of the same and believe that since the amount has already been deposited with CERC by the buyers there is no risk of default from the customers and thus based on the above fact as well as legal opinion obtained, management believes that the Company has reasonable chances of succeeding on the matter and anticipates there is no uncertainty with respect to the recovery of such receivables.

2013, the Company creates capital redemption reserve equal to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an appropriation from the general reserve.

(b) General reserve: Under the erstwhile Indian Companies Act 1956, a general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable reserves for that year.

Consequent to introduction of the Act, the requirement of mandatory transfer of a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn and the Company can optionally transfer any amount from the surplus of profit and loss to the General reserves. This reserve is utilised in accordance with the specific provisions of the Act.

Defined contribution plans

The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifying employees towards Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan.

The Company has no obligations other than to make the specified contributions. The contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis. The amount recognised as an expense towards contribution to provident and pension fund for the year aggregated to ? 232.72 lakhs (31 March 2022: ? 205.21 lakhs). The balance amount charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis pertains towards gratuity and esi.

(b) These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as currency risk, interest risk and market (investment) risk.

Inherent risk

The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risk pertaining to the plan. In particular, this exposes the Company, to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to longevity risk.

The following tables analyse present value of defined benefit obligations, expense recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, actuarial assumptions and other information.

(a) Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with the published rates under Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate.

the employment market.

(c) Discount rate is based on the prevailing market yield of Indian Government securities as at the year end for the estimated term of the obligation.

(X) Risk exposure:

Valuation are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and may vary over

time. As such valuations of the Company is exposed to follow risks -

a) Salary increase: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.

b) Investment risk: Since the plan is funded then asset liabilities mismatch and actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can Effect the defined benefit obligation.

c) Discount rate: The defined benefit obligation calculated use a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.

d) Mortality and disability: If the actual deaths and disability cases are lower or higher than assumed in the valuation, it can Effect the defined benefit obligation.

e) Withdrawals: If the actual withdrawals are higher or lower than the assumed withdrawals or there is a change in withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations, it can effect defined benefit obligation.

41 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company''s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital structure the Company monitors the return on capital. The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all its shareholders. For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders, whereas debt includes borrowings which primarily includes the payables pertaining to the purchase of goods, less cash and cash equivalents.

B. Measurement of fair values

Valuation process and technique used to determine fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified under fair value hierarchy other than Level 1:

(a) The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, loans, trade payables and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Further, management also assessed the carrying amount of certain non-current loans and non-current other financial assets which are reasonable approximation of their fair values and the difference between the carrying amount and the fair values is not expected to be significant.

(b) Investments in equity instruments are classified as FVTOCI. Fair value of unquoted investments is determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

This Level includes investment in unquoted equity shares. Fair value of quoted equity instruments are determined using quoted prices available in the market.

(c) In case of derivatives, the fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting dates in the respective commodities and currencies. There are no such significant unobservable inputs used for the valuation technique.

(d) The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (''NAV'') as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date.

(e) In case of investments in debt instruments, the fair values in an active market is determined using market approach and valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.

(f) The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statement are a reasonable approximation of their fair values, since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amount would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

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).

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year

The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in provision matrix. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from two main classes of trade receivables i.e. receivables from government promoted agencies and receivables from private third parties. A substantial portion of the Company''s trade receivables are from government promoted agencies having strong credit worthiness. Further the Company does not have a history of credit losses from such government promoted agencies, accordingly, provision for expected credit loss is not made in respect of trade receivables.

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, loans and financial instruments is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable organisations with high quality external credit ratings.

D. Risk management

The Company''s financial liabilities comprise mainly trade payables. The Company''s financial assets comprise mainly investments, loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other balances with banks. The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies.

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Board of Directors (''Board'') oversee the management of these financial risks. The risk management policies of the Company guides the management to address uncertainties in its endeavour to achieve its stated and implicit objectives. It prescribes the roles and responsibilities of the Company''s Management, the structure for managing risks and the framework for risk management. The framework seeks to identify, assess and mitigate financial risks in order to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company''s financial performance.

The following disclosures summarize the Company''s exposure to financial risks and information regarding use of derivatives employed to manage exposures to such risks. Quantitative sensitivity analysis have been provided to reflect the impact

of reasonably possible changes in market rates on the financial results, cash flows and financial position of the Company.

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers and loans given. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to customers, including outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company recognises lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables using a simplified approach by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company''s finance team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.

(iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

(b) 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 exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long term and short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.
