2.10 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND
CONTINGENT ASSETS
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present
obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that
an outflow of embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate 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. Provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows
(representing the best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at
a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity or
a present obligation that arises from past events but is not
recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot
be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed
in the notes. Contingent assets are neither recognised
nor disclosed in the financial statements. Provisions are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to effect
current management estimates. Contingent liabilities are
recognised when there is possible obligation arising from
past events.
2.11 INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It
is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the
extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity
or in OCI.
(i) Current tax
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to
be paid in respect of taxable income for the year in
accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current
tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable
on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect
of previous years. It is measured using tax rates and
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised
outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or
loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken
in the tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation
and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset
only if the Company has a legally enforceable right
to set off the recognised amounts, and it intends to
realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis
or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, on
temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets arising mainly on account of carry
forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under tax
laws are recognised only if there is reasonable certainty
of its realisation.
Deferred tax assets on account of other temporary
differences are recognised only to the extent that there
is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which such deferred
tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted
or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
Changes in deferred tax assets / liabilities on account
of changes in enacted tax rates are given effect to in the
standalone statement of profit and loss in the period of
the change. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets
are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are off
set when there is a legally enforceable right to set¬
off assets against liabilities representing current tax
and where the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same
governing taxation laws.
2.12 EARNINGS PER SHARE (BASIC AND DILUTED)
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per equity
share. Basic earnings per equity share have been computed
by dividing net profit/loss attributable to the equity share
holders for the year by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per equity share have been computed by dividing the net
profit attributable to the equity share holders after giving
impact of dilutive potential equity shares for the year by
the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive
potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except
where the results are anti-dilutive.
2.13 BORROWING COSTS
Expenses related to borrowing cost are accounted using
effective interest rate. Borrowing costs are interest and
other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign
currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as
an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with
the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable
to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their
intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.
Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the
period in which they are incurred. The difference between
the discounted amount mobilised and redemption value of
commercial papers is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss over the life of the instrument using the EIR.
2.14 INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates
are recognised at cost as per Ind AS 27. Except where
investments accounted for at cost shall be accounted for
in accordance with Ind AS 105, Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations, when they are classified
as held for sale.
2.15 GOODS AND SERVICES TAX PAID ON ACQUISITION OF
ASSETS OR ON INCURRING EXPENSES
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the goods
and services tax paid, except when the tax incurred on a
purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
tax authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as
part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the
expense item, as applicable.
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the
tax authority is included as part of receivables or payables,
respectively, in the balance sheet.
2.16 FOREIGN CURRENCY
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange
differences arising on settlement of revenue transactions
are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Monetary
assets and liabilities contracted in foreign currencies are
restated at the rate of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet
date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured
at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the
functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value
was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are
measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
2.17 STANDARDS ISSUED AND EFFECTIVE

3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND
JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind
AS requires management to make estimates, judgements and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and disclosures as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period to
period. Appropriate changes in estimates are recognised in the
periods in which the Company becomes aware of the changes
in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Any revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the period
in which the estimate is revised and future periods. Following are
estimates and judgements that have significant impact on the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities at each balance sheet:
3.1 BUSINESS MODEL ASSESSMENT
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends
on the results of the SPPI (Solely Payments of Principal
and Interest) and the business model test. The Company
determines the business model at a level that reflects how
groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve
a particular business objective. This assessment includes
judgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how the
performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance
measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets
and how these are managed. The Company monitors financial
assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income that are derecognised prior to their
maturity to understand the reason for their disposal and
whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the
business for which the asset was held. Fair value through profit
or loss (FVTPL), where the assets are managed in accordance
with an approved investment strategy that triggers purchase
and sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets.
Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with
unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair
value being recognised in the standalone statement of profit
and loss in the period in which they arise.
3.2 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of financial instruments is the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most
advantageous) market at the measurement date under
current market conditions (i.e., an exit price) regardless
of whether that price is directly observable or estimated
using another valuation technique. When the fair values
of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the
balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they
are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that
include the use of valuation models. The inputs to these
models are taken from observable markets where possible,
but where this is not feasible, estimation is required in
establishing fair values. Judgements and estimates include
considerations of liquidity and model inputs related to items
such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), funding
value adjustments, correlation and volatility. For further
details about determination of fair value please see note 46
Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured
at fair value for financial reporting purposes. Fair value is
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date regardless of whether
that price is directly observable or estimated using another
valuation technique.
Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorised into
Level 1,2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the
fair value measurements are observable and the significance
of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety,
which are described as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access
at measurement date
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs) that the
Company can access at measurement date
3.3 EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE (EIR) METHOD
The Company's EIR methodology, recognises interest
income / expense using a rate of return that represents the
best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected
behavioural life of loans given / taken and recognises the
effect of potentially different interest rates at various stages
and other characteristics of the financial instruments.
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgement
regarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of the
instruments, as well expected changes to India's base rate
and other fee income/expense that are integral parts of
the instrument.
3.4 PROVISIONS AND OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The company operates in a regulatory and legal environment
that, by nature, has a heightened element of litigation risk
inherent to its operations. As a result, it is involved in various
litigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations and
proceedings in the ordinary course of the Company's business.
When the Company can reliably measure the outflow
of economic benefits in relation to a specific case and
considers such outflows to be probable, the Company
records a provision against the case. Where the probability of
outflow is considered to be remote, or probable, but a reliable
estimate cannot be made, a contingent liability is disclosed.
Given the subjectivity and uncertainty of determining the
probability and amount of losses, the Company takes into
account a number of factors including legal advice, the
stage of the matter and historical evidence from similar
incidents. Significant judgement is required to conclude on
these estimates.
3.5 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Estimating fair value for share based payment requires
determination of the most appropriate valuation model.
The estimate also requires determination of the most
appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the
expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield
and making assumptions about them. The assumptions
and models used for estimating fair value for share based
payments transactions are discussed in note 42 "Employee
stock option plan" (ESOP).
3.6 EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS
When determining whether the risk of default on a
financial instruments has increased significantly since
initial recognition, the company considers reasonable
and supportable information that is relevant and available
without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative
and qualitative information and analysis, based on the
company's historical experience and credit assessment and
including forward-looking information.
The inputs used and process followed by the company in
determining the ECL have been detailed in note 47.
3.7 DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at
the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during
the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of
deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in
making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax assets
considered realisable, however, could be reduced in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry¬
forward period are reduced.
3.8 DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present value
of the defined benefit obligation are based on actuarial
valuation using the projected unit credit method. An
actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions
that may differ from actual developments in the future.
These include the determination of the discount rate, future
salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities
involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a
defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in
these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date.
3.9 LEASES
Ind AS 116 defines a lease term as the non-cancellable period
for which the lessee has the right-to-use an underlying asset
including optional periods, when an entity is reasonably
certain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate)
a lease. The Company consider all relevant facts and
circumstances that create an economic incentive for the
lessee to exercise the option when determining the lease
term. The option to extend the lease term are included in
the lease term, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will
exercise the option. The Company reassess the option when
significant events or changes in circumstances occur that
are within the control of the lessee.
Note (a):
The Company has entered into an official partner agreement. In terms of this agreement, a bank guarantee has been issued for securing
the Company's obligation to make rights fees as well as performance of other obligations.

(B) DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Gratuity payable to employees
The Company's liabilities under the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the
end of each reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
The gratuity benefit is provided through unfunded plan and annual contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Under the scheme, the settlement obligation remains with the Company. Company accounts for the liability for future gratuity
benefits based on an actuarial valuation. The net present value of the Company's obligation towards the same is actuarially
determined based on the projected unit credit method as at the Balance Sheet date.
The plan is of a final salary defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks
pertaining to the plan. The actuarial risks associated are:
Discount rate
Discount rate for this valuation is based on government bonds having similar term to duration of liabilities. Due to lack of a deep
and secondary bond market in India, government bond yields are used to arrive at the discount rate.
Mortality/ disability
If the actual mortality rate in the future turns out to be more or less than expected then it may result in increase / decrease in
the liability.
Employee turnover/withdrawal rate
If the actual withdrawal rate in the future turns out to be more or less than expected then it may result in increase / decrease in
the liability.
Salary escalation rate
More or less than expected increase in the future salary levels may result in increase / decrease in the liability.

deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair
value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including own and counterparty credit risk.
* Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments includes investment in equity investment valued at quoted closing
price on stock exchange / other basis based on materiality.
47 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company is exposed to various financial risks. These risks are categorised into market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Company's risk management is coordinated by the Board of Directors and focuses on securing long term and short term cash flows. The
Company does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.
(A) 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. Market risk comprises following types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market
risk include borrowings.
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising mainly from borrowings with floating interest rates.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the cash flows associated with floating rate borrowings will fluctuate
with changes in interest rates. The Company manages the interest rate risks by maintaining a debt portfolio comprising a mix
of fixed and floating rate borrowings.
(ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value for future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rates. As at each reporting date, the Company does not have significant exposure in foreign
currency, therefore it is not exposed to currency risk.
(B) CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss because its customers or counterparties fail to discharge their contractual
obligation. The Company manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk it is willing to accept for individual
counterparties, and by monitoring exposures in relations to such limits.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financial
instruments presented in the financial statements. The Company's major classes of financial assets are cash and cash equivalents,
loans, term deposits, trade receivables and security deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits with banks are considered to have negligible risk or nil risk, as they are maintained
with high rated banks / financial institutions as approved by the Board of directors. Security deposits are kept with stock exchanges
for meeting minimum base capital requirements. These deposits do not have any credit risk.
The management has established accounts receivable policy under which customer accounts are regularly monitored. The Company
has a dedicated risk management team, which monitors the positions, exposures and margins on a continuous basis.
Expected credit loss
A) Trade receivables
The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance (ECL) for all trade 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 ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics
as follow:
• Receivable from Brokerage (Secured by collaterals mainly in form of Securities of listed Company)
