assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Where it is not
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is
disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

accordingly- Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow comprise cash at bank, cash/cheques in hand and short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less.acquisition. Hence, normally, deposits with original maturity of three months.
Further, bank balances held as margin money or security against borrowings are neither in the nature of demand deposits, nor readily
available for use by the company, and accordingly, do not meet the aforesaid definition of cash equivalents. Thus, this is an apparent
conflict between the requirements of die Schedule III and the Accounting Standards with respect to which items should form part of
Cash
& Cash equivalents.Accordingly, the conflict should be resolved by changing the caption “Cash and cash equivalents” to
“Cash and bank balances,” which may have two sub-headings, viz., “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other bank balances.” The
former should include only the items that constitute Cash and cash equivalents defined in accordance with AS 3 (and not the
Schedule III), while the remaining line-items may be included under the latter heading.

Note 27 Disclosures under Accounting Standards 27.1 Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Contribution Plans

The Companymakes Provident Fund, ESIC and Gratuity contributions to defined contribution plans for qualifying employees.

The following are the types of defined benefit plans:

a. Gratuity Plan

15 days salary for every completed year of service. Vesting period is 5 years and payment is restricted to Rs. 20 lacs. The present value of defined obligation and related current cost are measured using the Projected Credit Method with actuarial valuation being carried out at each balance sheet date.

b. Risk Exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Interest Rates Risk

The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase. Thus the plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. Some times, the fall can be permanent, due to a paradigm shift in interest rate scenarios because of economic or fiscal reasons. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements). Even for funded schemes, a paradigm downward shift in bond yields may affect the reinvestment yields and may increase ultimate costs.

Salary Inflation Risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary escalation rate(SER), which is applied to find the salary of plan participants in future, at the time of separation Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation and will have an exponential effect.

Demographic Risk

Demographic assumptions are required to assess the timing and probability of a payment taking place. This is the risk of volatility of results due to unexpected nature of decrements that include mortality, attrition, disability and retirement. The effects of this decrement on the DBO depend upon the combination salary increase, discount rate, and vesting criteria and therefore not very straight forward. It is important not to overstate withdrawal rate because the cost of retirement benefit of a short serving employees will be less compared to long service employees.

Actuarial Risk

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 r ates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than 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 than 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.

Asset Liability Mismatch:

This will come into play unless the funds are invested with a term of the assets replicating the term of the liability Investment Risk:

For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant

changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.

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 & 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.

Legislative Risk/Regulatory Risk:

Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets 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. The new labour code is a case in point. And the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.

c. Reconciliation of the net defined benefit (asset)/ liability

The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for the net defined benefit (asset)/ liability and its components:

While one of the parameters mentioned above is changed by 100 basis points, Other parameters are kept unchanged for evaluating the DBO While there is no change in the method used for sensitivity analysis from previous period, the change in assumptions now considered are with reference to the current assumptions.

Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.

30 Additional Disclosures
