M. Provisions and Contingencies:
(i) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Long-term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Short term provisions are carried at their redemption value and are not offset against receivables from reimbursements.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(ii) Contingent Liabilities
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 or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
N. Earnings per Share:
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.
- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
- the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
O. Exceptional items:
Certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying to the financial statements.

NOTE: 1.4 USE OF JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
While preparing financial statements in conformity with Ind AS, the management has made certain estimates and assumptions that require subjective and complex judgments. These judgments affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the statement of financial position date and the reported amount of income and expenses for the reporting period. Financial reporting results rely on the management estimate of the effect of certain matters that are inherently uncertain. Future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted and the best estimates require adjustments, as actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.
Judgment, estimates and assumptions are required in particular for:
a) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations
The obligation arising from defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation, actuarial rates and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations. Due to complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting period.
b) Recognition of deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and unutilized business loss and depreciation carry-forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, depreciation carry¬ forwards and unused tax credits could be utilized.
c) Discounting of financial assets / liabilities
All financial assets / liabilities are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. In case of financial assets / liabilities which are required to be subsequently measured at amortized cost, interest is accrued using the effective interest method.
d) Provisions
Significant estimates are involved in the determination of provisions. The Company records a provision for onerous sales contracts when current estimates of total contract costs exceed expected contract revenue. The provision for expenses is based on the best estimate required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Legal proceedings often involve complex legal issues and are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, considerable judgment is part of determining whether it is probable that there is a present obligation as a result of a past event at the end of the reporting period, whether it is probable that such a Legal Proceeding will result in an outflow of resources and whether the amount of the obligation can e reliably estimated. Internal and external counsels are generally part of the determination process.
10.3 Company has only one class of Equity share of face value of ' 10/- each carrying one voting right for each equity share held.
In the event of the Liquidation of the company, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in the proportion to the number of the equity shares held by the shareholders.

In accordance with terms of issue, Rs.39 i.e. 50% of the issue price per equity share was received from the allottees on application and shares were alloted. The board had made final call of Rs. 39 per right equity share (Including a premium of Rs. 34 per share) in February, 2025. as on March 31,2025 2,16,671 Partly paid-up Equity shares are outstanding on which aggregate amount (Including premium) of Rs. 84.50 Lakhs is unpaid.

Financial instruments by category
(i) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. Explanations of level follows are as under.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The equity instruments and mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- The use of quoted market prices or quotes for similar instruments
28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks.
Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of incurring a loss that may arise from a borrower or debtor failing to make required payments. Credit risk arises mainly from outstanding receivables from free market dealers, cash and cash equivalents, employee advances and security deposits. The Company manages and analyses the credit risk for each of its new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.
(i) Credit risk management
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer and including the default risk of the industry, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
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 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
? Actual or expected significant adverse change in business;
? Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty;
? Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligation;
? Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty;
? Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third-party guarantees or credit enhancements.
Financial assets are written off when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ins AS-109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivable. When determining whether the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and relevant information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
b) 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 responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company's short-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
All Financial liabilities disclosed in balance sheet are contractual undiscounted cash outflow due within 12 months.
c) Market risk
i. Price Risk
The company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investments in equity instrument and equity mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. The above instruments risks are arise due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments.
ii. Currency Risk
The company has not significant exposure for export's revenue and import of raw material and property, plant and equipment so the company is not subject to risk that changes in foreign currency value impact.
iii. Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the assets which are denominated in currency other than Indian Rupee. The company has negligible foreign currency exposure in US Dollar.
29. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For the purpose of the company's capital management, equity includes equity share capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the company. The company manages its capital to optimize returns to the shareholders and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions or it's business requirements. The company's objectives are to safeguard continuity, maintain a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and provide adequate return to shareholders through continuing growth and maximize the shareholders value.
