A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows esti mated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent liability
A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise are disclosed as contingent liability and not provided for. Such liability is not disclosed if the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

40 DISCLOSURES PURSUANT TO IND AS 19 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
(a) Define contribution plans:
The Company has certain defined contribution plans in which both employee and employer contribute monthly, at the rate of 12% of basic salary, as per regulations to provident fund set up as trust and to the respective regional provident fund commissioner.
The Company's contributions to provident fund, pension scheme and employee state insurance scheme are made to the relevant government authorities as per the prescribed rules and regulations. The Company's contributions to the above defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss for the year in which they are due
The Company's contribution to provident, pension, superannuation funds and to employees state insurance scheme aggregating to ' 3.54 Lakhs (Previous year - ' 1.55 lakhs) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense [Refer note 33]
(b) Defined benefits plans:
(i) Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The amount of gratuity shall be payable to an employee on the termination of his employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years, or on their superannuation or resignation. However, in case of death of an employee, the minimum period of five years shall not be required. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied by the number of year's service completed.
(ii) Risk exposure to defined benefit plans
The plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment risk, Liquidity risk, Market risk and Legislative risk.
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 rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition ofvesting 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: tf 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.
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.
Liquidity risk:
Employees with high salaries and long dL1rations 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.
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.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the balance sheet.
(c) Employee Share based Payment Plan
The Company has the share option plan schemes for permanent employees of the Company in the identified grades of employees for respective plans / schemes including any Director except promoter or independent Directors, nominee Directors and non-executive Directors or a Director who either himself or through relatives or through anybody directly or indirectly holds more than 10% of the outstanding equity shares of the parent Company.

The number of options to be granted to each eligible employees is determined by dividing the Award Value (amount equivalent to percentage of Annual Fix Pay) by the Fair Value of option provided. The Fair Value of option on the date of each grant is determined by using Black Scholes model.
