Note 2.17 : Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
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. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises 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 or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity.
The Company does not recognize a contingent asset but discloses its existence in the financial statements if the inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service.
They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the government bond yield rates at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligations. Remeasurements as a result of the experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
The company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) Defined benefit plans - gratuity; and
(b) Defined contribution plans - provident fund.
a. Defined benefit plans - gratuity
The liability or assets recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
The company limits the measurement of net defined benefit asset to the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling. Asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan.
b. Defined contribution plans - provident fund
The company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered funds as per local regulations. The company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Bonus plans:
The company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
Note 2.19 : Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Note 2.20 : Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
Note 2.21 : Investment in Subsidiaries/Joint venture/associate
Investments in subsidiaries and Joint venture are recognised at cost less impairment (if any) and investment in associate is recognised through FVPL.
Note 2.22 : Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
Ý The profit attributable to owners of the company
Ý By the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
Ý The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
Ý The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Note 2.23 : Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of de-recognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgements and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of these changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

c) Defined benefit plan:
Gratuity
The Company operates a gratuity plan covering qualifying employees. The benefit payable is the amount calculated as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of continuous service and once vested it is payable to employees on retirement or on termination of employment. In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective of vesting. The Company makes annual contribution to the company gratuity scheme administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India through its Gratuity Trust Fund.
The expected return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors such as the assessed risks of asset management and historical results of the return on plan assets and plan assets are managed by Life Insurance corporation of India. Assumed rate of return on assets is expected to vary from year-to-year reflecting the returns on matching Government bonds.
The estimate of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
viii. 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 rate 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.
Salary inflation risk:
Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
Demographic risk:
This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.
Fair value hierarchy
Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques, which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If significant inputs required to fair value an instruments are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instruments is included in level 3.
Note 39: Financial risk management Risk management framework
The company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The company's risk management policy is set by the Board. The company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks : credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk relating to foreign currency exchange rate, Price risk and interest rate. The company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. A summary of the risks have been given below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk arising from credit exposure to customers, cash and cash equivalents held with banks and current and noncurrent held-to maturity financial assets.
The company deals with Public sector enterprises, government undertakings (i.e. government customers) and also private parties (i.e. Non-government customers). Regarding credit exposure from customers, the company has a procedure in place aiming to minimise collection losses.
Note 39: Financial risk management (Contd.)
The carrying amount of trade receivables, deposits, cash and bank balances, bank deposits and interest receivable on deposits represents company's maximum exposure to the credit risk. No financial asset other than trade receivables carry a significant exposure with respect to the credit risk. Bank deposits and cash balances are placed with reputable banks with high credit ratings.
The credit quality of financial assets is satisfactory, taking into account the allowance for credit losses if any.
The company's exposure to credit is influenced mainly by collection pattern of trade receivables, which is generally skewed. An impairment analysis performed at each reporting date for the customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.
a. Trade receivables
The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments. The receivables are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and the assessment for the same will be as follows:
i) Non-Government customers - ECL rate is determined basis historical collection pattern of sales.
The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
ii) Government customers - Government parties are presumed to have sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and hence the risk of default is nil/negligible. Accordingly, impairment on account of expected credit losses is being assessed on a case to case basis in respect of dues outstanding for significant period of time as per the accounting policy of the Company.
Further, management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are due is collectable in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.
Note 39: Financial risk management (Contd.)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and trade receivables and trade payables involving foreign currency exposure. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,2024 and March 31, 2023.
The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post- retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31,2024 and March 31, 2023.
a) 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 trade/ other payables and trade/other receivables. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar, CHF, EURO and GBP against the functional currency of the company. The company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks.
