3 System of Accounting :
3.1 The Company follows Mercantile System of Accounting and recognizes Income & Expenditure on an accrual basis.
3.2 Accounts of the Company are prepared under the Historical Cost convention method, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value in accordance with Ind AS.
3.3 Fair Value measurements under Ind As are categorized as below, based on the degree to which inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to their fair value measurement in its entirety.
a) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at measurement date.
b) Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1,that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
c) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets/liabilities.
4 Going Concern

5 Presentation of Financial Statements
The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). The statement of cash flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash flows”.

All amounts in the Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR).
6 Use of Estimates
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. As such estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of the current events and actions; there are possibilities of such estimates resulting in outcome's requiring material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
7 Prior Period Errors
Prior Period Errors, if identified are corrected retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after the discovery of error by :-
a) Restating the comparative amounts of the prior period presented, in which the error occurred;
b) If the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, the opening balance of assets, liability and equity is restated for the earliest prior period presented.
8 Valuation of Property, Plant & Equipments & Intangible Assets & Depreciation/Amortisation policy
8.1 Method Of Valuation Of Property, Plant & Equipments.
Property, Plant & Equipments (hereinafter referred to as PPE) is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of such PPE can be measured reliably.PPE is stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, as reduced by accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment.
Expenditure for additions, improvements and renewals are capitalized and expenditure for maintenance & repairs are charged to the profit & loss account.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognised. Depreciation
Depreciation on PPE is recognised using Straight Line Method so as to write off the cost of PPE less the residual value over its useful lives specified in Schedule- II of the Companies Act,2013. In case of PPE purchased/sold during the year, Depreciation has been provided on pro-rata basis
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in financial statements.
8.2 Method of Valuation of Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets are recognized only when future economic benefits arising out of the assets flow to the enterprise and are amortised over their useful life as decided by the management. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Amortisation
Intangible Assets is amortised over management estimate of 5 years or the validity period whichever is lower.
8.3 Method of Valuation of Investment Property
Properties, including those under construction, held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation are classified as investment property and measured and reported at cost, including transaction costs.
Depreciation
Depreciation on Investment Property is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of asset less the residual value over its useful life specified in Schedule- II of the Companies Act,2013.
9 Investment in Subsidiaries. Associates and Joint Ventures
The investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are carried in this financial statements at historical ‘cost', as per Ind AS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" except when the investment or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for as Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Where the carrying amount of an investment in greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Any disposal of investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
In respect of Technofy Digital Private Limited (Subsidiary of Panache Digilife Limited), the accounts of the company has been prepared based on the assumption that the company is not going concern for the year ended 31st March 2025.
However, The Management has determined that although the Subsidiary's Going concern assumption is inappropriate, there is high probability of these amount getting recovered in future. Thus, no Provision for Impairment has been created.
10 Employee Benefits
10.1 Short Term Employee Benefits
Employee Benefits such as Salaries and Wages falling due, wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
10.2 Post-Employment Benefits
a) Defined Contribution Plans
The company's contributions to state governed provident fund scheme and employee state insurance scheme are the defined contribution plans maintained by the company. The contribution paid/payable under the scheme is recognized during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
b) Defined Benefit Plans
The Company is obligated to provide for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan applicable to eligible employees. This plan entitles employees to a lump sum payment upon retirement, death while in service, or termination of employment, based on the employee's last drawn salary and length of service. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined through actuarial valuation carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate based on the market yield on government bonds, with a maturity period, equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the defined benefit obligations at the Reporting date.
Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses is recognised in other comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to profit or loss.
Defined benefit employee costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on settlements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expense. Excess gains or losses on settlement of any claims are recognised in profit or loss when such settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or curtailment and when the company recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.
11 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to a contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction values and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are 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 as the case may be, the fair value of such assets or liabilities, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on net basis in the Balance Sheet when there is a current legal enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and it is intended to either settle on net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
11.1 Cash & Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage
11.2 Financial Assets
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at amortised cost or at fair value depending on the classification of the financial assets as follows:
a) Recognition
All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at amortised cost, subject to following conditions:
i. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii. The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
b) De-recognition
A financial asset is primarily De-recognized when:-
i. The right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or
ii. The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and (a) the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
iii. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.
c) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company recognises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss model, where the provisions are based on a forward-looking ECL, which includes possible default events on the trade receivables over the entire holding period of the trade receivable. These provisions represent the difference between the trade receivable's carrying amount in the Standalone Balance Sheet and the estimated collectible amount.
11.3 Financial Liabilities
a) Initial Recognition
Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss (FVTPL) are subsequently measured at fair value. All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss (FVTPL) are subsequently measured at fair value. All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.
A financial liability is derecognised when the related obligation expires or is discharged or cancelled.
b) Subsequent Measurement
Financial Liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) Method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the reporting date, the carrying amounts, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
c) De-recognition
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in Statement of profit or loss.
12 Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and in the subsequent years, at the higher of:
a) the amount determined in accordance with the expected credit loss model under Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" and
b) the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".
The fair value of financial guarantee is determined based on the present value of the difference in cash flows between the contractual payments required under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.
Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.
13 Foreign Currencies
a) The functional currency and presentation currency of the company is Indian Rupee (INR).
b) Transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company's functional currency, which occur during the year, are translated into Indian Rupees at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the respective payments or receipts, particularly in cases where payments to or receipts from suppliers or customers are made in advance. This practice is not fully aligned with the requirements of Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. However, for costing purposes, the Company has consistently followed this method over the years.
c) At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date at the closing spot rate are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise
14 Recoverability of Trade Receivables
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
15 Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contract with customers is recognised when the Company satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised goods and services to the customer. The revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of consideration received or receivable and is net of discounts, allowances, returns, goods and services tax/value added taxes/sales tax.
15.1 Sale of Products
Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when the control of the goods has been transferred to the customer. The performance obligation in case of sale of product is satisfied at a point in time i.e., when the material is shipped to the customer or on delivery to the customer, as may be specified in the contract.
15.2 Sale of Services
Revenue from rendering services is recognised over the time in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for services.
16 Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
a) Right of use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The right of use assets are also subject to impairment.
b) Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are fixed payments. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
c) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
17 Taxes On Income
The tax expense for the period comprises of current tax and deferred income tax. Tax is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income or in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Equity.
17.1 Current Tax
Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income tax Act 1961.
17.2 Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the company's financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that, taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
18 Operating Segments
Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision making body in the company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation.
Considering the nature and scope of business of the Company, the Chief Operating Decision Maker could not identify any operating Segment.
However, a report on company’s reliance on major customers is as follows:-
19 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs, general or specific, that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company determines the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the year less any interest income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets, to the extent that an entity borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. In case if the Company borrows generally and uses the funds for obtaining a qualifying asset, borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs will be suspended if the Activities in the Qualifying Asset remain discontinued (for reasons other than those that are temporary in nature), and Accodingly, Borrowing costs that the company has incurred during such suspension period has been charged to Statement of Profit/Loss.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
