1.13 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A Provisions are recognized when the Company has present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed by way of notes to Financial Statements. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Provisions and contingent liabilities are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
B If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
1.14 Employee benefits
A Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
B Post-Employment Benefits:
i) Defined Contribution Plans:
State governed Provident Fund Scheme and Employees State Insurance Scheme are defined contribution plans.
The contribution paid / payable under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the employees render the related services.
ii) Defined Benefit Plans:
The Employee's Gratuity Fund Scheme and compensated absences is Company's defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefits entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government Securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
For defined benefit plans, the amount recognized as ‘Employee benefit expenses' in the Statement of Profit and Loss is the cost of accruing employee benefits promised to employees over the year and the costs of individual events such as past/future service benefit changes and settlements (such events are recognized immediately in rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset is charged or credited to ‘Finance costs' in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Any differences between the interest income on plan assets and the return actually achieved, and any changes in the liabilities over the year due to changes in actuarial assumptions or experience adjustments within the plans, are recognized immediately in ‘Other comprehensive income' and subsequently not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All defined benefit plans obligations are determined based on valuations, as at the Balance Sheet date, made by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The classification of the Company's net obligation into current and non-current is as per the actuarial valuation report.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefits plans are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
C Long Term Employee Benefits:
The employees' long term compensated absences are company's defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation is determined based on the actuarial valuation using the
projected unit credit method as at the date of the balance sheet. In case of funded plans, the full value of plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation to recognize the obligation on the net basis.
1.15 Financial instruments
Initial Recognition and Measurement:
The company recognizes a financial asset in its balance sheet when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction cost that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Where the fair value of a financial asset at initial recognition is different from its transaction price, the difference between the fair value and the transaction price is recognized as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss at initial recognition if the fair value is determined through a quoted market price in an active market for an identical asset (i.e. level 1 input) or through a valuation technique that users data from observable markets (i.e. level 2 input).
In case the fair value in not determined using a level 1 or level 2 inputs as mentioned above, the difference between the fair value and transaction price is deferred appropriately and recognized as a gain in the Statement of Profit and Loss only to the extent the such gain or loss arises due to a change in factor that market participants take into account when pricing the financial asset.
However trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Investments and Other Financial Assets
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
(1) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through the Statement of Profit and Loss), and
(2) those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
(ii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through the Profit and Loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Debt instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company classifies its debt instruments into following categories:
(1) Amortised cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
(2) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income:
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost are measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Equity instruments:
The Company measures its equity investment other than in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at fair value through profit and loss. However where the Company's management makes an irrevocable choice on initial recognition to present fair value gains and losses on specific equity investments in other comprehensive income (Currently no such choice made), there is no subsequent reclassification, on sale or otherwise, of fair value gains and losses to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized (i.e. removed from the company's balance sheet) when any of the following occurs:
i. The contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expires;
ii. The company transfers its contractual rights to received cash flows of the financial assets and has substantially transferred all the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial assets;
iii. The company retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows but assumes a contractual obligations to pay the cash flows without material delay to one or more recipients under a ‘pass-through' arrangement (thereby substantially transferring all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset);
iv. The company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risk and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the financial asset.
In cases where company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the financial asset, but retains control of the financial assets, the Company continues to recognize such financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The financial asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
On De-recognition of a financial asset, (except as mentioned in ii above for financial assets measured a FVTOCI), the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.16 Foreign Currency Translation Initial Recognition:
On initial recognition, transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are recorded in the functional currency (i.e. Indian Rupees), by applying to the foreign currency amount, the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Measurement of Foreign Currency Items at Reporting Date:
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company are translated at the closing exchange rates. Nonmonetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is measured.
1.17 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
1.18 Cash Flow Statement
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
i. changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;
ii. non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses etc.; and
iii. all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
1.19 Events after Reporting Date
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
1.20 Recent Accounting Pronouncements issued but not yet effective:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards.
33 Fair Value Measurement
Financial Instrument by category and hierarchy
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount of which the instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation
sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. Fair Value of Cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amount largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rate are evaluated by the company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables.Accordingly, fair values of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts:-
For the financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair values, the carrying amount are equal to the fair value.
34 Capital risk Management
Equity Share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of company's capital management. The Company manages its capital so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to shareholders. The Capital structure of the company is based on management's judgment of its strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity to maintain investor,creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business.
The management and the Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders. The company may take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
35 Financial risk management
The Company's business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risks and credit risks. The company's senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the company's risk management framework. The company has constituted a risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the company's risk management policies. The company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review the changes in market conditions and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the company.
A. Management of Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will face in meeting its obligation associated with its financial liabilities. The Company's approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this management considers both normal and stressed conditions.
Due to dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability of under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.
The following table shows the maturity analysis of the company's financial liabilities based on the contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at the Balance sheet date.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the Company's position with regards to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio. According to the Company interest rate risk exposure is only for floating rate borrowings. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
C Management of Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. 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. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
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 through out each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the company compares the risk of default occurring on 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,
iii) 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 or credit enhancements.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customers based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material hence no additional provision considered.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum credit exposures.The maximum credit exposure to credit risk was Rs. 2852.26 lakhs and Rs. 2468.92 lakhs as at March 31,2024 and March 31,2023 respectively being total of carrying amount of balance principally with banks, other bank balances, Trade receivable-billed and Trade receivables-unbilled and other financial assets.
The company's exposure to customers is diversified and except one customer as at March 31, 2024 and two customers as at March 31,2023, no single customer contributes to more than 10% and 10% of Trade receivable-billed and Trade receivable-unbilled as at March 31, 2024 and March 31,2023.
No Significant changes in estimation techniques or assumptions were made during the year.
36 Earnings per Share (EPS) as per Indian Accounting Standard 33:
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares) by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential Equity shares into Equity shares.
Risk Exposure - Asset Volatility
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments is in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk and the fund manages interest rate risk derivatives to minimize risk to an acceptable level. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities and in alternative investments % which have low correlation with equity securities. The equity securities are expected to earn a return in excess of the discount rate and contribute to the plan deficit.
(i) Leave obligations
The leave obligations cover the Company's liability for sick and earned leave. The amount of the provision of ' 9.85 Lakh - [31st March, 23: ' 6.10 Lakh] is presented as liabilities.
