NOTES TO ACCOUNTS

Year End :2026-03 

2.8.13. Provisions:

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.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate
that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to
the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recognised
as a finance cost.

2.8.14. Contingent Liabilities

Disclosure of contingent liability is made 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 embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle or a reliable estimate
of amount cannot be made.

2.8.15. Employee Benefits:

i) Short-Term Employee Benefits

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
services rendered by employees are recognised as
an expense during the period when the employees
render the services.

ii) Post-Employment Benefits

a) Defined Contribution Plans

The Company recognises contribution payable to
the provident fund scheme and ESI scheme as an
expense, when an employee renders the related
service. If the contribution payable to the scheme
for service received before the balance sheet date
exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit
payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability. If
the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
due for services received before the balance sheet
date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the
extent that the pre-payment will lead to a reduction in
future payment or a cash refund.

b) Defined Benefit Plans

The liability in respect of gratuity and other post¬
employment benefits is calculated using the Projected
Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during
which the benefit is expected to be derived from
employees' services.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions
are recognised in the period in which they occur in
Other Comprehensive Income.

iii) Employee Separation Costs

The Company recognises the employee separation
cost when the scheme is announced, and the
Company is demonstrably committed to it.

2.8.16. Earnings Per Share

a) Basic Earnings Per Share:

Basic Earnings per share is calculated by dividing
the Profit attributable to Owners of the Company
by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the financial year.

b) Diluted Earnings Per Share:

Diluted Earnings per Share adjusts the figures used
in 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
equity shares that would have been outstanding
assuming conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.

2.9. Recent accounting pronouncements

2.9.1. Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notified
new standards or amendments to the existing

Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.

periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025.
The Company has assessed that there is no
significant impact in current and future periods

amendments applicable w.e.f. April 1,2025 to:

liabilities as current or non-current and non¬
current liabilities with covenants:

In the context of classifying a liability as current,
it removes the requirement of existence of a
unconditional right to defer settlement for at
least 12 months after the reporting date and
instead requires that the said right should exist
on the reporting date and have substance.
The amendment also introduces guidance on
classification of liabilities with covenants. The
Company has no impact of these amendments
in its classification criteria of current and non¬
current liabilities.

2.9.4. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS
107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - The
amendment in Ind AS 7 requires to inform
users of financial statements of the existence of
supplier finance arrangements and explain the
nature of the arrangements, the carrying amount
of liabilities and the range of payment due dates.
Ind AS 107 has been amended to add supplier
finance arrangements as a factor that may cause
concentration of liquidity risk. The Company
has reviewed the amendment and based on its
evaluation has determined that it does not have
any impact in its financial statements.

2.9.5. Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar
Two Model Rules published by OECD. The
amendments provide certain relief in recognition
of deferred tax accounting for minimum top-up
tax but disclose the fact that they have applied

any of the jurisdictions where OECD pillar Two
model rules apply and have no impact on the

46. Financial Risk Management

The company's activities expose it to variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity
risk, within the boundaries of approved Risk Management Policy framework.

i) 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.

a) Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the Fair Value or Future Cash Flows of an exposure will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the various assets and
liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than Indian Rupee.

The following table shows foreign currency exposures in US Dollar on financial instruments at the end of
the reporting period.

b) Interest Risk

The company does not have any investment except in fixed deposits which carries fixed interest rate. The
borrowings of the company also carry fixed interest rate and therefore, the company does not expect any
interest rate risk in this regard.

ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to perform or pay the
amounts due causing financial loss to the company. Credit risk arises from company's activities of dealing in
employee loans and advance and receivables from customers. The Company ensures that sales of products
are made to customers with appropriate creditworthiness. Credit information is regularly monitored by finance
function, with a framework in place to quickly identify and respond to cases of credit deterioration. Credit is
extended in business interest in accordance with guidelines and business-specific credit policies that are
consistent with such guidelines. Exceptions are managed and approved by appropriate authorities, after due
consideration of the counterparty's credentials and financial capacity, trade practices and prevailing business
and economic conditions.

The company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its
business activities. Credit risk is actively managed through Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees and advance
payments to the company to avoid concentration of risk. The Company's exposure to credit risk on employee
loans and advances is considered insignificant, as such loans are extended only to confirmed employees
under approved HR policies, with recoveries structured primarily through salary deductions and adjustments
against final settlement dues in case of resignation or termination; historical experience indicates negligible
defaults given the captive borrower profile, and outstanding balances are periodically monitored by HR and
Finance to ensure compliance with repayment schedules, while provisioning under the expected credit loss
(ECL) framework as per Ind AS 109 is assessed, though no material impairment is anticipated owing to the low
risk nature of these exposures.

The Company's historical experience of collecting receivables and the level of default indicate that credit risk
is low and generally uniform across markets; consequently, trade receivables are considered to be a single
class of financial assets. All overdue customer balances are evaluated taking into account the age of the dues,
specific credit circumstances, the track record of the counterparty etc. Loss allowances and impairment is
recognized, where considered appropriate by the management.

48. Distributions proposed

Final dividend on equity shares( FV of C10 each) of C2.5 (PY C2.) Per share amounting to C781.25 (PY C 625) Lakhs
has been proposed by the board of directors. Proposed dividend on equity shares is subject to approval at the
