NOTE 38: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES

The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company's financial risk management policy is set by the managing board. The details of different types of risk and management policy to address these risks are listed below:

(a) Market Risk:-

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits , foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive expsoure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.

(a) (i) Market Risk - 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. The company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily to the Company's borrowings, both short term and long term obligations with floating interest rates.

The company is also exposed to interest rate risk on its financial assets that include fixed deposits (which are part of cash and cash equivalents) since all these are generally for short durations, there is no significant interest rate risks pertaining to these deposits..

Sensitivity analysis to interest rate risk

The company doesn’t account for any fixed rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

(a)(ii) Market Risk - Price Risk

The Company has no surplus for investment in debt mutual funds, deposits etc. The Company does make deposit with the banks to provide security against gurantee issued by bank to companys trade payables. Deposit is made in fixed rate instrument. In view of this it is not susceptible to market price risk, arising from changes in interest rates or market yields which may impact the return and value of the investments.

(a)(iii) Market Risk - Currency Risk

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have a potential impact on the statement of profit and loss and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. The company is exposed to currency risk on account of its trade payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupees. The Company follows a natural hedge driven currency risk mitigation policy to the extent possible.

(b) 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 receivables from customers. The carrying amount of Financial Assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Trade Receivables

The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, industry information, business intelligence and in some cases bank references.

Trade Receivables of the Company are typically unsecured ,except to the extent of the security deposits received from the customers or financial guarantees provided by the market organizers in the business. Credit Risk is managed through credit approvals and periodic monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company has no concentration of Credit Risk as the customer base is geographically distributed in India.

Expected credit loss for trade receivable:

The allowance for impairment of Trade receivables is created to the extent and as and when required, based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivables. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses lifetime Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for assessing the impariment loss. For this purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount for trade receivables. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal credit risk factors and historical experience / current facts available in relation to defaults and delays in collection thereof.

Other Financial Assets

The company maintains its Cash and Cash equivalents and Bank deposits with banks having good reputation, good past track record and high quality credit rating and also reviews their credit-worthiness on an on-going basis.

Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivable:

With regards to all financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes that the parties from whom these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible and accordingly no provision for expected credit loss has been provided on such financial assets. Break up of financial assets other than trade receivables have been disclosed on balance sheet.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31st March, 2024 and 31st March, 2023 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligation associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach in managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will 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. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital and other operational requirements is retained as Cash and Cash Equivalents (to the extent required).

Exposure to Liquidity Risk
