The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the Balance Sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensiti vity analysis did not change compared to the prior period. Defined benefit liabilityandemployercontributions
The Company considers that the contribution rates set at the last valuation date are sufficient to eliminate the deficit over the agreed period and that regular contributions, which are based on service costs, will not increase significantly.

NOTE 36: INCOME TAX EXPENSE
a) This note provides an analysis of the Company's income tax expense, show amounts that are recognised directly in equity and how the tax expense is affected by non-assessable and non-deductible items. It also explains significant estimates made in relation to the Company's tax positions.
Fair value hierarchy
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into three levels prescribed under the Ind AS. An explanation for each level is given below.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, exchange traded funds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing Net Assets Value (NAV), NAV represents the price at which, the issuer will issue further units and will redeem such units of mutual funds to and from the investors.
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 all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Instruments in the level 2 category for the Company include foreign exchange forward contracts.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in this level.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposit having maturity period upto 12 months and its interest accrued, export benefits receivable, current loans, current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately same as their value, due to the short-term maturities of these financial assets/liabiliti'es.
During the periods mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value:
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
•the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
• the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
•the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis
NOTE 38: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Risk management
The Company's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard continuity, maintain a strong credit rating 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 determines 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 and other long term borrowings. The Company's policy is to use short-term and long-term borrowings to meet anticipated funding requirements.
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, equity includes paid up capital, securities premium and other reserves. Net debt are long term, short term interest bearing debt and lease liabilities as reduced by balances with banks and cash and cash equivalents. The Company's strategy is to maintain a gearing ratio within 2:1.
Loan covenants
Bank loan agreements contain certain debt covenants relang to limitation on indebtedness, debt-equity ratio, debt service coverage ratio and fixed assets coverage ratio.
The lower than mandated debt service coverage ratio has no implications on the cash flows as the Company complies with and satisfies all other conditions in the respective sanction of the banks.
NOTE 39: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities are exposed to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purpose and not as trading or speculative instruments.
The Company's risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Company's treasury team identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's respective department heads. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments, non derivati ve financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarly trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, investments in mutual funds, foreign exhange transactions and other financial instruments. The credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness as well as concentration risks. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of counter party, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, analysing the risk profile of the counter party and the analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable etc. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The Company determines default by considering the business environment in which the Company operates and other macroeconomic factors. The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business;
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty;
Hi) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligations;
iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty;
v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third-party guarantees.
None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk. The carrying value of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company.
i) Trade receivables
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. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits, payment track record, monitoring financial position of the customer and other relevant factors. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and reviewed.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as limited, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The exposure to customers is diversified and no substantial concentration of risk as no single customer contributes more than 10% of revenue and of the outstanding receivables. Sales made in domestic market predominantly are through agents appointed by the Company, the agents being del credere agents most of the credit risk emanating thereto is borne by agents and the Company's exposure to risk is limited to sales made to customers directly. In case of direct sale, the Company has a policy of dealing only with credit worthy counter parties. The credit risk related to such sales are mitigated by taking advance, security deposit, letter of credit, settng and monitoring internal limits on exposure to individual customers as and where considered necessary. An impairment analysis which includes assessment for indicators of impairment is performed at each repo rtingdate on an individual basis for all major customers and provision for impairment taken. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics.The expected loss rates for trade receivables has been computed based on reasonable approximation of the loss rates and paste trend of outstanding debtors
ii) Financial Instruments and Cash Deposits
The Company maintains exposure in Cash and Cash equivalents and term deposits with banks. The same is done after considering factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions from whom the Company has also availed borrowings. Individual risk limits are set for each counter party based on financial position, credit rating and past experience. Credit risk and concentration of exposure are actively monitored by the Company. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations, by delivering cash or other financial assets, on time or at a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities - borrowings, trade and other payables, derivative instruments and other financial liabilities.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and drawable reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of the financial assets and liabilities.The Company regularly monitors liquidity position through rolling forecast based on estimated free cash flow generated from business. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposits and liquid schemes of mutual funds, which carry no/negligible mark to market risks.
The working capital facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice, ii) Maturities of Financial liabiliities
The tables below analyse the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:
- all non derivative financial liabilities, and
- net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity or commodity prices will affect the Company's income/cash flows or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of postemployment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. Financial instruments affected by market risk include receivables, loans and borrowings, advances, deposits, investments and derivative financial instruments. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respecti ve market risks.
The Company's activities expose it to risks on account of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract as a risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rate.
Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument or future cash flows fluctuate because of changes in market price of the functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on their receivables, payables and foreign currency loans which are mainly held in the United State Dollar ("USD"), the Euro ("EUR"), British Pound ('GBP'), the Australian Dollar ("AUD"), the Swiss Franc ("CHF") and Japanese Yen ("JPY"). Consequently, the Company is exposed primarily to the risk that the exchange rate of the Indian Rupees ("?") relative to the USD, the EUR, the CHF, and the CNY may change in a manner that has a material effect on the reported values of the Company's assets and liabilities that are denominated in these foreign currencies.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policy wherein exposure is identified, a benchmark is set and monitored closely for suitable hedges, including minimising cross currency transactions, using natural hedge and the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
The following table demonstrates the foreign exchange sensitivity by assuming rates shift in the USD, EUR, CHF, GBP, JPY, AUD, CHF and other currencies with all other variables held constant. The impact below on the Company's profit/equity before considering tax impact is due to changes in the fair value of unhedged foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at balance sheet date:
II Interest rate risk
This refers to risk to the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument on account of movement in market interest rates.
For the Company, the interest risk arises mainly from debt obligations, both short term and long term with floating interest rates. Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rate.
III Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rate. The Company uses a mix of interest rate sensitive financial instruments to manage the liquidity and fund requirements for its day to day operations like vendor bill discounting, suppliers' and buyers' credit. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. As the Company does not have exposure to any floating interest bearing assets, its interest income and related cash flows are not affected by changes in the market interest rates.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity before considering tax impact to a reasonably possible change in interest rate of 50 basis point increase or decrease. The calculations are based on the risk exposures outstanding at the balancesheetdate.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, through a ruling in February 2019, provided interpretation on the components of salary on which the Company and its employees are to contribute towards provident fund under the Employee's Provident Fund Act. Based on the current evaluation, the Company believes it is not probable that certain components of salary paid by the Company will be subject to contribution towards provident fund due to the Supreme Court order. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.
