Provision for employee benefits
a) Gratuity
In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("the Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement (subject to completion of five years of continuous employment), death, incapacitation or termination of employment that are based on last drawn salary and tenure of employment. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity plan are determined by actuarial valuation on the reporting date and the Company makes annual contribution to the gratuity fund maintained by Reliance Life Insurance Co Ltd.
The following tables summaries the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the gratuity.
vii) Risk exposure
The defined benefit plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, investment risk, longevity risk and inflation risk.
Interest rate risk
The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields of high quality corporate bonds. The estimated term of the bonds is consistent with the estimated term of the defined benefit obligation and it is denominated in Indian rupees. A decrease in market yield on high quality corporate bonds will increase the Company’s defined benefit liability, although it is expected that this would be offset partially by an increase in the fair value of certain of the plan assets.
Investment risk
The company maintains plan assets in the form of fund with Life Insurance Corporation of India. The fair value of the plan assets is exposed to the market risks (in India).
Longevity risk
The Company is required to provide benefits for life for the members of the defined benefit liability. Increase in the life expectancy of the members, will increase the defined benefit liability.
Inflation risk
A significant proportion of the defined benefit liability is linked to inflation. An increase in the inflation rate will increase the Company’s liability.

Management considers amortized cost for financial asset and liabilities to approximate the fair value. The Company does not have any assets measured at FVOCI.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and bank balances, financial assets, borrowings, trade payables and financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value.
b) Fair value measurement hierarchy
The Company records certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair values based on the price it would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.
The Company holds certain financial assets which must be measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies. The guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are grouped into three Levels of fair value hierarchy. These levels are based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example, listed equity instruments that have quoted market price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the- counter derivatives) 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.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
The fair values of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined under amortised cost method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. These rates are considered to reflect the market rate of interest and hence the carrying value are considered to be at fair value.
Cash and bank balances, trade receivables, other financial assets, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
Note 38 : Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other financial liabilities . The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its and companies operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade receivables, investments, cash and bank balance, deposits and other financial asset that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management assesses the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors review and agree on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
a) Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.
b) 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’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are managed by borrowing at fixed interest rates. The Company has pre-closed all the loans and there is no outstanding loan as at 31 March 2024, accordingly no interest rate risk.
c) Foreign currency risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Indian rupees. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s overseas sales and purchases of materials, which are primarily denominated in US dollars (USD) and Great Britain Pound (GBP).
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities which expose the Company to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated at the closing rate:
Currency risk (or foreign exchange risk) arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a foreign currency, i.e. in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. For the purpose of this disclosure, currency risk does not arise from financial instruments that are non-monetary items or from financial instruments denominated in the functional currency.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the USD/Rs exchange rate, GBP/Rs exchange rate and CHF/Rs exchange rate, 'all other things being equal’. It assumes a /- 1% change of the USD/Rs. exchange rate for the year ended at 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: /-1%), /- 1% change of the AED/Rs exchange rate for the year ended 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: /- 1%).
If the Indian Rupee had strengthened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: 1%), GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: 1%) respectively then this would have had the following impact on profit before tax and equity before tax.
If the Indian Rupee had weakened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: 1%) and GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: 1%) respectively then there would an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
d) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example trade receivables, deposits, investment, bank balance etc. the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at reporting period, as summarised below:
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company's policy is to transact only with counterparties who are highly creditworthy which are assessed based on internal due diligence parameters.
In respect of trade receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics (Also refer note 23) . Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.
The credit risk for cash and bank balances are considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
Other financial assets mainly comprises of rental deposits, security deposits and other receivables which are given to landlords or other governmental agencies in relation to contracts executed are assessed by the Company for credit risk on a continuous basis.
e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is that the Company might be unable to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-today business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis depending on the business needs. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.
The Company's objective is to maintain cash and bank's short term credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.
The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. Cash flows from trade receivables are all contractually due within twelve months except for retention and long term trade receivables which are governed by the relevant contract.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investment income, interest from deposits and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
