27. Employee benefit plans
(i) The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 ('Gratuity Act'). Under the Gratuity Act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit with no monetary limit. The level of benefit provided depends on the employee's length of service and salary at retirement/termination age. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to a recognised fund in India.
The plan assets are maintained with HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited (HDFC Life) in respect of gratuity scheme for employees of the Company. The details of investments maintained by the HDFC Life are not available with the Company and not disclosed. The expected rate of return on plan assets is 7.31% p.a. (31 March 2023: 7.31% p.a.). The Company actively monitors how the duration and expected yield of the investments are matching the expected outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations.
The cost of the defined benefit plans and other long term benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. Actuarial valuations involve making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These includes the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rate. Due to these complexity involved in the valuation it is highly sensitive to the changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at reporting date. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost and planned service cost were measured using the projected unit cost method.
The Company expects to pay INR 191 in contributions to its defined benefit plans in 2024-25.
# Level 3 investments comprises of unquoted equity instruments. The fair value of Level 3 investments are based on the market comparable approach of similar companies using discounted revenue multiples and considering the same on a pre-revenue development stage. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.
(a) The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the Standalone Financial Statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
(b) There has been no transfers between level 1,2 and 3.
(c) The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties. Derivatives are valued using valuation techniques in consultation with market expert. The most frequently applied valuation technique include forward pricing, swap models and Black Scholes Merton Model (for options valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including foreign exchange forward rates, interest rate curve and forward rates curve.
B. Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks : credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk.
(i) Risk management framework
The Company's risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. 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 and non-derivative financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity.
(ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to financial loss. The credit risk arises principally from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and unbilled revenues) and from its investment activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in mutual funds and other financial instruments.
The Company has established a credit mechanism under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, where available, and other publicly available financial information. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at reporting date is primarily from trade receivables and unbilled revenue amounting to Rs. 4,275 (31 March 2023: Rs 4,844). The movement in allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
Other than trade receivables the Company has no significant class of financial assets that is past due but not impaired.
There is no receivable from single customer which which is more than 10 percent of the Company's total receivables during the current and previous financial year.
Credit risk on investments, cash and cash equivalent and derivatives is limited as the Company generally transacts with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. All these banks and financial institutions are high-rate funds of minimum AA and above. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units and inter-corporate deposits with financial institutions.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived. In addition, the Company maintains line of credits as stated in Note 13.
(iv) Market risk
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, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices.
Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and a major portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through operating and borrowing activities in foreign currency. The Company holds derivative instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates and foreign currency exposure.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments exclusively for hedging financial risks that arise from its commercial business or financing activities. The Company's Treasury team manages its foreign currency risk by hedging forcasted transactions like sales, purchases and capital expenditures. When a derivative is entered for hedging, the Company matches the terms of those derivatives to the underlying exposure. All identified exposures are managed as per the policy duly approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company entered into an external commercial borrowing agreement dated September 21,2020, to obtain a USD 50 million (Rs. 4,109) term loan facility. The loan carried an interest rate of Libor 1.30%. However, the same has been classified as at 31 March 2023 as a fixed rate borrowing owing to the company policy to maintain its long-term borrowings at fixed rate using interest rate swaps. (Refer Note 13)
(b) Sensitivity
Fixed rate borrowings:
The Company policy is to maintain its long-term borrowings at fixed rate using interest rate swaps to achieve this when necessary. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined under Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates.
Variable rate borrowings:
A reasonably possible change of 100 bps would have increased / (decreased) profit and loss and equity by Rs. 14 (31 March 2023 : Rs. 16).
29. Capital management
The key objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a stable capital structure with the focus on total equity to uphold investor, creditor and customer confidence and to ensure future development of its business. The Company focused on keeping strong total equity base to ensure independence, security, as well as a high financial flexibility for potential future borrowings, if required without impacting the risk profile of the Company.
The Company's goal is to continue to be able to return excess liquidity to shareholders by continuing to distribute annual dividends in future periods. The amount of future dividends of equity shares will be balanced with efforts to continue to maintain an adequate liquidity status.
(C) During the quarter ended 31 December 2023, the Company recorded Interest income on income tax refund of Rs 158 pursuant to Income Tax Tribunal order for Financial Years 2009-10 and 2010-11 and the same has been presented as income in the financial results under the head 'Other Income'. Instead of providing a cash refund, the tax department has adjusted the refund against tax demands for Financial Years 2011-12, 2013-14, and 2015-16.
(d) Tax expenses is net of reversal of income tax provision amounting to Rs 232 based on favourable tax assessment orders received during the quarter ended 31 March 2024.

(III) In light of judgment of Honourable Supreme Court dated 28th February 2019 on the definition of'Basic Wages'under the Employees Provident Funds & Misc. Provisions Act, 1952 and based on Company's evaluation, there are significant uncertainties and numerous interpretative issues relating to the judgement and hence it is unclear as to whether the clarified definition of Basic Wage would be applicable prospectively or retrospectively. The amount of the obligation therefore cannot be measured with sufficient reliability for past periods and hence has currently been considered to be a contingent liability.
Including the matters disclosed above, the Company is involved in taxation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business for years that are under assessment. Judgment is required in assessing the range of possible outcomes for some of these tax matters, which could change substantially over time as each of the matter progresses depending on experience on actual assessment proceedings by tax authorities and other judicial precedents. Based on its internal assessment supported by external legal counsel views, if any, the Company believes that it will be able to sustain its positions if challenged by the authorities and accordingly no additional provision is required for these matters. Management is of the view that above matters will not have any material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
