xiv Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of obligation. Provisions (excluding gratuity and compensated absences) are determined based on management's estimate required
to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In case the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. A contingent liability also
arises, in rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
xv Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, where by net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature,
any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or
financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are segregated.

Financial Risk Management
Risk management framework
A wide range of risks may affect the Company’s business and operational / financial performance. The risks that could have significant influence on the Company
are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and sets out policies for managing these risks and monitors suitable
actions taken by management to minimise potential adverse effects of such risks on the company’s operational and financial performance.
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
three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Currency risk
The Company is not much exposed to currency risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises
principally from the Company’s trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances. To manage this, the Company periodically
assesses financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of
accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk in case of all the financial instruments covered below is restricted to their respective carrying amount.
(a) Trade and other receivables from customers
The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past
dealings for extension of credit to customers. To manage credit risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of the customer, taking into
account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables. Outstanding customer
receivables are regularly monitored to make an assessment of recoverability. Receivables are provided as doubtful / written off, when there is no reasonable
expectation of recovery. Where receivables have been provided / written off, the Company continues regular follow up,engage with the customers, legal options /
any other remedies available with the objective of recovering these outstandings.The Company is not exposed to concentration of credit risk to any one single
customer since services are provided to vast specturm.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances
The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances amounting to Rs. 5.63 Lakhs and Rs. 942.77 Lakhs respectively (March 31,2023: Rs.
5.26 and 888.26 Lakhs respectively). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank with good credit ratings and financial institution counterparties with good
market standing.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The
Company does not have any exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates as it relates primarily to the Company’s total debt obligations with fixed
interest rates.
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments :
The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the
carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering
cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Note 30 Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the
Company. The Company strives to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that they can maximise returns for the shareholders and benefits for
other stake holders. The aim is to maintain an optimal capital structure and minimise cost of capital.
