2.16 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, 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 of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using
a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the
amount cannot be made.

other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges In bringing the goods to their present location
and condition, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and
finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty. Net realisable value
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.18 Non-derivative financial instruments
Classification
The classification is done depending upon the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and
the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets classified as 'measured at fair value', gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income, as elected. For assets classified as 'measured at amortized cost', this will depend on the
business model and contractual terms of the cash flows.
Initial Measurement and Recognition
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair
value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.
a. Financial assets - Subsequent measurement
Financial assets at amortised cost: Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these
financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Financial assets are
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business
whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows that give rise on specified dates to solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and by selling financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Financial assets are measured at fair value
through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive
income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
b. Financial liabilities - Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The measurement of
financialliabilitiesdependsontheirclassification,asdescribedbelow:
Loans and borrowings: After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost on accrual basis.
Composite financial Instrument: The fair value of the liability portion of an optionally convertible bond is
determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a
liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption of the bonds. The remainder
of the proceeds is attributable to the equity portion of the compound instrument. This is recognised and included
in shareholders' equity.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial
assets carried at amortised cost for e.g., debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balances; and
lease receivables. The Impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant
Increase in credit risk and if so, assess the need to provide for the same in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables
and all lease receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it
recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) at each reporting date,
right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines
whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not
increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has
increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves
such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to
recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a
financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are
possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the
original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider all contractual terms of the
financial instrument over the expected life of the financial instrument.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/expense in
the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head 'other expenses' in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. The Balance Sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
• Financial assets measured at amortised cost, revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented
as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the Balance Sheet. The
allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not
reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments based
on shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable
significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, the Company applies the low credit risk simplification. At every
reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using
all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that
evaluation, the Company reassesses the internal credit rating of the debt instrument.
However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or
external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full
before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when
there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
c. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in financial statements
if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a netbasis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.19 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs (including exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowing to
the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest cost) that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete
and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Foreign exchange difference regarded as borrowing taken for non-monetary items, an adjustment to borrowing
costs are presented/reported as part of non-monetary item.
2.20 Employee Benefits
Employee benefits consist of contribution to employees state insurance, provident fund, gratuity fund and
compensated absences.
Post-employment benefit plans
Defined Contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as employees' state insurance, labour welfare fund,
employee pension scheme etc. are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to
be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. Company's provident fund contribution is made to
a government administered fund and charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The above
benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond
the monthly contributions.
Defined benefit plans
The Company operates defined benefit plan in the form of gratuity and compensated absence. The liability or asset
recognised in the balance sheet in respect of its defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using
the projected unit credit method. The present value of the said obligation is determined by discounting the estimated
future cash out flows, using market yields of government bonds that have tenure approximating the tenures of the
related liability.
The interest expenses are calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The
net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognised in the Statement of Profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained
earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Balance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are
recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
The classification of the company's net obligation into current and non- current is as per the actuarial
valuation report.
2.21 Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting
the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary
equity shares, for the effects of all dilutive potential Ordinary shares.

bank balances as detailed in note 9 & 10) and total equity of the Company. Equity consists of equity capital, share
premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and
the requirements of the financial covenants.
(a) Capital risk management
The company's objectives when managing capital are to
- Safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
44.2. Financial risk management
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main
purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support the Company's operations. The Company's principal
financial assets comprise investments, cash and bank balance, trade and other receivables.
The Company is exposed to various financial risks such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The financial
risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives.
a. Market Risk
The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and changes in interest rates. There have been no changes to the Company's exposure to market risk or the
manner in which it manages and measures the risk in recent past.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and bank deposits.
b. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy customers.
The credit limit is granted to a customer after assessing the Credit worthiness based on the information
supplied by credit rating agencies, publicly available financial information or its own past trading records and
trends.
At March 31,2025, the company did not consider there to be any significant concentration of credit risk, which
had not been adequately provided for. The carrying amount of the financial assets recorded in the financial
statements, grossed up for any allowances for losses, represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.
