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.

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.
