2. BASIS OF PREPARATION:

These notes provide the list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Financial Statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

a) Compliance with Ind AS

The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) as notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with prescribed rules therein. The Company has uniformly applied the accounting policies during the periods presented.

The Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2024 were authorised and approved by the Board of Directors on 27th May 2024.

b) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

•Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) and contingent consideration that are measured at fair value or amortized cost; •Assets held for sale - measured at lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell;

•Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value; and

c) Current / Non - Current Classification

Any asset or liability is satisfied as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:

•Asset / Liability is expected to be realised / settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle

• Asset is intended for sale or consumption •Asset / Liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading

•Asset is a cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date

• In case of a Liability, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date

For the purpose of this classification, the Company has ascertained its normal operating cycle as twelve months, which is based on the nature of business and time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.

3. Use of Material Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies, reporting amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense and disclosures made. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual result may differ from those estimates.

The critical accounting estimates and assumptions used and areas involving a high degree of judgements are described below:

3.1 Use of estimation and assumption

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management made the following estimation and assumptions that have the significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as on the date of the financial statements, reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.

a) Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

Key estimates related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets include useful lives, recoverability of carrying values and the existence of any retirement obligations. As a result of future decisions, such estimates could be significantly modified. The useful lives as mentioned in Note No. 4.1 and Note No. 4.2 is applied as per Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013 and estimated based upon our historical experience, technical estimation and industry information. These estimates include an assumption regarding periodic maintenance and an appropriate level of annual capital expenditures to maintain the assets.

b) Employee Benefits - Measurement of Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO)

Management assesses post-employment and other employee benefit obligations using the projected unit credit method based on actuarial assumptions which represent management’s best estimates of the variables (such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases) that will determine the ultimate cost of providing postemployment and other employee benefits. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

c) Income Taxes

The Company recognizes tax liabilities based upon self-assessment as per the lax laws. When the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

3.2 Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies

a) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.

b) Evaluation of Indicators for Impairment of

Assets

The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.

c) Expected Credit Losses

Expected credit losses of the Company are based on an evaluation of the collectability of receivables. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including their current credit worthiness, past collection history of each customer and ongoing dealings with them. If the financial conditions of the counterparties with which the Company contracted were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional expected credit loss may be required.

d) Useful Life of Depreciable / Amortizable Assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortizable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, customer relationships, IT equipment and other plant and equipment.

e) Fair Value Measurements

Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date.

f) Provisions

At each reporting date basis the management judgement, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Company assess the requirement of the provisions. However, the actual future outcome may be different from this judgement.

g) Leases

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.

3.3 Recent Pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31st March 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

4. Material Accounting Policies

4.1 Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

Initial Recognition

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. The cost of an item of plant and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Cost includes its purchase price (after deducting trade discounts and rebates), import duties & nonrefundable purchase taxes, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location & condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, borrowing costs on qualifying assets and asset retirement costs.

The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalized if it is probable that the future economic benefits of the part will flow to the Company and that its cost can be

measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.

Costs of day-to-day repairs and maintenance costs are recognized into the statement of profit and loss account as incurred.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual values estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on Straight Line Method, as per the provisions of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 or based on useful life estimated on the technical assessment. Asset class wise useful lives are as under:

Type of Assets Useful Life

Building 30 Years

Vehicles 8 Years

Plant and Machinery 15 Years

Computers 3 Years

Office Equipments 5 Years

Electrical Equipments 10 Years

In respect of additions / deletions to the fixed assets / leasehold improvements, depreciation is charged from the date the asset is ready to use / up to the date of deletion.

De-recognition

An item of plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de recognition of the asset is recognized in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

4.2 Intangible Assets & Amortization Initial Recognition

Intangible assets acquired separately are initially measured at cost Intangible assets are recognized if, it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Cost of separately acquired intangible asset includes its purchase price (after deducting trade discounts and rebates), import duties & non-re fundable purchase taxes, any costs directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent measurement and amortization

Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of intangible assets are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual values estimated useful lives and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Finite-life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives by major class of finite-life intangible assets are as follows:

Intangible

Method of

Estimated

Assets

Amortization

Useful life

Computer

on straight-line

5 Years

Software

basis

The amortization expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Indefinite-life intangible assets comprises of those assets for which there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows. These are considered to have an indefinite life, given the strength and durability of the Company and the level of marketing support.

De-recognition

An item of Intangible Assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de recognition of the asset is recognized in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

For indefinite life intangible assets, the assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively based on revised estimates.

4.3 Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventory includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. Net Realizable Value in respect of consumables is the estimated current procurement price in the ordinary course of the business.

4.4 Impairment of Non - Financial Assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generaung unu lo wnicn me asset neiongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market

assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in die statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). For such properties, the impairment is recognized in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.

After impairment, depreciation or amortization is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

The impairment assessment for all assets is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

4.5 Financial Assets

Financial assets comprise of investments in equity and debt securities, mutual funds, loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.

Initial recognition

All financial assets except investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are recognized initially at fair value. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price. Purchases or sales of financial asset that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets.

Subsequent Measurement

a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:

Financial assets held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR amortization is recognized as finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company while applying above criteria has classified the following at amortized cost:

a. Loans

b. Trade Receivable

c. Cash and Cash Equivalents

d. Other Financial Assets

b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

Financial assets held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are measured at FVTOCI. Fair Value movements in financial assets at FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments held for trading are classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). For other equity instruments the Company classifies the same either at FVTOCI or FVTPL on instrument to instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. Fair value changes on equity investments at FVTOCI, excluding dividends are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial asset are measured at fair value through profit or loss if it does not meet the criteria for classification as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. All fair value changes are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Impairment

Financial assets are tested for impairment based on the expected credit losses in accordance with Ind AS 109 on the following financial assets:

a) Trade Receivables

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over life time of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix on its portfolio of trade receivables, which is based on historical loss rates reflecting current condition and forecasts of fiiture economic conditions. In this approach assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit characteristics such as customer segment, past due status and other factors which are relevant to estimate the expected cash loss from these assets.

b) Other financial assets

Other financial assets are tested for impairment based on significant change in credit risk since initial recognition and impairment is measured based on probability of default over the life time when there is significant increase in credit risk.

De-recognition

A financial asset is derecognized only when:

• The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or

• The contractual right to receive cash flows from financial asset is expired, or

• Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset and transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, in such cases the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is also derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.

4.6 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash at bank (including deposits with banks with original maturity of three months or less) and cash in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Deposits with

banks are subsequently measured at amortized cost and short term investments are measured at fair value through statement of profit & loss account.

4.7 Non-current Assets held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising of assets and liabilities are classified as ‘held for sale’ when all the following criteria are met:

(i) decision has been made to sell,

(ii) the assets are available for immediate sale in its present condition,

(iii) the assets are being actively marketed and

(iv) sale has been agreed or is expected to be concluded within 12 months of the Balance Sheet date.

Subsequently, such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as ‘held for sale’ are measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets held for sale are no longer depreciated or amortized.

4.8 Share Capital

Equity Shares are classified as equity.

4.9 Financial Liabilities Initial Recognition

Financial liabilities are recognized when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs, such as loan processing fees and issue expenses.

Subsequent Measurement — at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are de recognized, and through the amortization process.

De-recognition

A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. 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 a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

4.10 Borrowing Costs

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 part of the cost of the respective asset. Capitalisation of borrowing cost is suspended in the period during which the active development is delayed due to other than temporary interruption. All other borrowing costs consist of interest, exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

4.11 Employee benefits

Employee benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year.

Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund are defined contribution scheme and such contributions are recognized, when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligation other than the contribution payable to the respective funds.

Gratuity liability is defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year. Re measurement in case of defined benefit plans gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial

assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income and they are included in the statement of changes in equity.

Compensated absences are provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

The amount of Non-current and Current portions of employee benefits is classified as per the actuarial valuation at the end of each financial year.

4.12 Income Taxes

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred tax is recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit and loss is recognized outside profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current income taxes for the current period, including any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years, are recognized and measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or payable to the taxation authorities based on the tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to settle, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable income nor the accounting income. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced accordingly to the extent that it is no longer probable that they can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when

there is legally enforceable right of offset current tax assets and liabilities when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax asset and liabilities are offset where the entity has legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred Tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).

4.13 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 assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. 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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset

(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease, and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset

At date of commencement of leases, the Company recognizes a right of use asset (ROU) and a corresponding lease liability for all the lease arrangements, except for those with a term of twelve month or less (short term leases) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognizes lease payments as an operating expense on straight line basis over the lease term.

Initial Measurement

ROU assets are initially measured at cost that comprises of the initial amount of lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the date of commencement, initial direct costs and lease incentives (if any).

Lease Liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in file lease or, if not

readily determinable, incremental borrowing rate. Subsequent Measurement

ROU assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. ROU is depreciated from the date of commencement on a straight line basis over the shorter of lease term or useful life of the underlying asset.

Lease Liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest and reducing file carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The carrying amount of lease liability is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modification such as change in lease term.

ROU asset and lease liability are separately presented in the balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as finance or operating lease. Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases is recognized in statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

4.14 Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

Provisions are reviewed and adjusted, when required, to reflect the current best estimate at the end of each reporting period.

The Company recognizes decommissioning provisions in the period in which a legal or constructive obligation is incurred. A corresponding

decommissioning cost is added to the canying amount of the associated property, plant and equipment, and it is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.

4.15 Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:

•A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;

•A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;

•A possible obligation arising 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 where the probability of outflow of resources is not remote.

4.16 Contingent Assets

Contingent assets are not recognized but disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

4.17 Fair Value Measurements

Company follows the hierarchy mentioned underneath for determining fair values of its financial instruments:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting dates. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The fair value for these instruments is determined using Level 1 inputs.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over the counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques

maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is fair valued using level 2 inputs.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is fair valued using Level 3 inputs. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

•Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

•The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves

•The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the reporting dates, with the resulting value discounted back to present value

•Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

4.18 Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from providing Financial Inclusion Services to banks and financial institutions (“Customers”). Revenue is recognized when Company satisfies a performance obligation on the basis of approved contracts (“Business Correspondent Agreements”) regarding provision of services to a customer.

The Company also derives revenue from sale of goods and related support services to its customers. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services in an amount that reflect the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange of those products and related services.

The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price. The transaction price is based upon the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods and services to the customer.

4.19 Other Income Interest Income

For all debt instruments measured either at

amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.

Interest income on fixed deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and file applicable interest rate.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized at the time when right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approve the dividend.

4.20 Foreign currency transactions

Functional and presentation Currency

The Financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (?) which is also die functional and presentation currency of the Company.

Transaction and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company, at exchange rates in effect at the transaction date. At each reporting date monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the financial statement. The translation for other nonmonetary assets and liabilities are not updated from historical exchange rates unless they are carried at fair value.

4.21 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account, the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

4.22 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified and reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers, responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

4.23 Events after reporting date:

Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the Financial Statements. Non Adjusting events after the Balance Sheet date which are material size or nature are disclosed separately in the Financial Statement
