43. As per Ind AS 19 "Employee Benefits", the disclosures are given below.
- The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan (funded) and is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the Act, every employee who has completed at least five year of service is entitled to gratuity benefits on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in form of a qualifying insurance policy for future payment of gratuity to the employees.
- Each year, the management reviews the level of funding in the gratuity fund. Such review includes the asset - liability matching strategy. The management decides its contribution based on the results of this review. The management aims to keep annual contributions relatively stable at a level such that no plan deficits (based on valuation performed) will arise.
viii) . The Company has defined benefit plans for Gratuity to eligible employees, the contributions for which are
made to Life Insurance Corporation of India who invests the funds as per Insurance Regulatory Development Authority guidelines.
ix) . Sensitivity Analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase, attrition rate and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The results of sensitivity analysis is given below:
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as below :
Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk off all in interest rates. 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.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liabilty.
Demographic Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
x). Asset Liability Matching Strategies
The Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance Company, as part of the policy rules, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficient funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).
xi). Effect of Plan on Entity's Future Cash Flows
a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy
The Company has purchased an insurance policy to provide for payment of gratuity to the employees of the group. Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company.
b) Expected Contribution during the next annual reporting period
The Company's best estimate of Contribution during the next year is 0.15 crore
c) Maturity Profile of Defined Benefit Obligation
xii). The Company has defined benefit plans for Gratuity to eligible employees of the group, the contributions for which are made to Life Insurance Corporation of India who invests the funds as per Insurance Regulatory Development Authority guidelines.

The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with FY 2023-24.
The actuarial liability for compensated absences (including Sick Leave) as at the year ended March 31, 2024 is ' 0.16 crore (March 31, 2023 is ' 0.06 crore).
45. Financial Instruments and Risk Overview (a) Capital Management
- The Company's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard continuity and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and provide adequate return to shareholders through continuing growth. The Company's overall strategy remains unchanged from previous year.
The Company sets the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business and long-term operating plans which include capital and other strategic investments.
The funding requirements are met through a mixture of equity, internal fund generation, borrowings. The Company's policy is to use borrowings to meet anticipated funding requirements.
(b) Financial Risk Management Objectives
- The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables, The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations/projects .The Company's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
- In the ordinary course of business, the Company is mainly exposed to risks resulting from exchange rate fluctuation (currency risk), interest rate movements (interest rate risk) collectively referred as Market Risk, Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and other price risks such as equity price risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. It manages its exposure to these risks through derivative financial instruments by hedging transactions. It uses derivative instruments such as Principal only Swaps and foreign currency forward contract to manage these risks. These derivative instruments reduce the impact of both favorable and unfavorable fluctuations.
The Company's risk management activities are subject to the management, direction and control of Central Treasury Team of the Group under the framework of Risk Management Policy for Currency and Interest rate risk as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Group's central treasury team ensures appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company through appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group's policies and risk objectives. It is the Group's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
- The decision of whether and when to execute derivative financial instruments along with its tenure can vary from period to period depending on market conditions and the relative costs of the instruments. The tenure is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company is exposed to losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the derivative contracts. All derivative contracts are executed with counterparties that, in our judgment, are creditworthy. The outstanding derivatives are reviewed periodically to ensure that there is no inappropriate concentration of outstanding to any particular counterparty. In current year, Company have no any foreign borrowing exposure and hence no derivative contracts.
- In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk, and Liquidity risk. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
1) Interest rate risk
The company is exposed to changes in market interest rates due to financing, investing and cash management activities. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates and period of borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's profit for the year ended March 31, 2024 would decrease / increase by ' 0.6 crore (P.Y. ' 1.50 crore). This is mainly attributable to interest rates on variable rate borrowings.
2) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities. Accordingly, as at period end the Company does not have any unhedged outstanding foreign exposure and hence the Company is not exposed to any foreign currency risk as at period end.
Derivative Financial Instrument
- The Company uses derivatives instruments as part of its management of risks relating to exposure to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not acquire derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes neither does it enter into complex derivative transactions to manage the above risks. The derivative transactions are normally in the form of Principal Only Swaps and Forward Currency Contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks and are subject to the Company's guidelines and policies.
- The fair values of all derivatives are separately recorded in the balance sheet within current and non current assets and liabilities. Derivative that are designated as hedges are classified as current or non current depending on the maturity of the derivative.
- The use of derivative can give rise to credit and market risk. The Company tries to control credit risk as far as possible by only entering into contracts with stipulated / reputed banks and financial institutions. The use of derivative instrument is subject to limits, authorities and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of management. The limits, authorities and monitoring systems are periodically reviewed by management and the Board. The market risk on derivative is mitigated by changes in the valuation of underlying assets, liabilities or transactions, as derivatives are used only for risk management purpose.
- The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, such as principal only swaps and forward currency contracts for hedging the liabilities incurred/recorded and accounts for them as cash flow hedges and states them at fair value. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss. Amounts recognised in OCI are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale occurs. These hedges have been effective for the year period till August, 2022 (Refer note - 38).
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the company. The Company has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial losses from default, and generally does not obtain any collateral or other security on trade receivables.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivable based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material and hence no additional provision considered.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.
The Company has issued corporate guarantees to banks and financial institutions on behalf of and in respect of loan / credit facilities availed by subsidiary companies. The value of corporate guarantee contracts given by the Company as at March 31, 2024 is ' 10,693.84 crore (as at March 31, 2023'7,198.48 crore). The value of financial guarantee contracts denotes outstanding amount of credit facilities availed by subsidiary companies.
Liquidity risk
The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds using cash flow forecasting models. These models consider the maturity of its financial investments, committed funding and projected cash flows from operations. The Company's objective is to provide financial resources to meet its business objectives in a timely, cost effective and reliable manner and to manage its capital structure. A balance between continuity of funding and flexibility is maintained through the use of various types of borrowings.
The table below is analysis of derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities of the Company into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
- Above excludes carrying value of equity nature Investments in subsidiaries accounted at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27.
- The management assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other balance with banks, investments, trade receivables, loans, trade payables, other financial assets and liability approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
- The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values.
- The fair value of loans from banks and other financial liabilities, as well as other non-current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flow using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
