13. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an out flow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. A disclosure for a Contingent Liability is made when there is a possible obligation from a past event but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company
14. Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with customers”, Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized on transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
(i) Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of contract with customer. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, risk of obsolesce and loss pass to the customer and Company has present right to payment. The Company collects goods and services tax (GST) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
(ii) Interest Income
Interest Income is recognized based on time proportion basis considering the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. Interest Income is included in the Other Income in the statement of Profit and Loss.
15. Income Tax
(i) Current Income Tax
Current Income Tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for the financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred Tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. Current and deferred tax is recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to the items recognized in the other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
16. Employee benefits
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on a n actuarial basis using a number of assumptions
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees services upto the end of reporting and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long term obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services made by employees upto the end of the reporting period. The benefits are discounted using the government securities at the end of reporting period.
(iii) Post employment obligations - Gratuity
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of the plan assets. The present value of the obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have the term approximating to the terms of the related obligations.
17. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the profit for the year attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
18. Cash Flow
The investing and financing activities in cash flow statement do not have a direct impact on current cash flows although they do affect the capital and asset structure of an entity. The company has disclosed these transactions, to the extent, material in notes to cash flow statement.
19. Segment Reporting
The Company has identified that its operating activity is a single primary business segment. Accordingly, whole of India has been considered as one geographical segment. Hence, segment reporting is not applicable.
20. Foreign Currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the functional currency spot rates (i.e. INR) at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions in foreign currencies and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.
21. Research and Development
Research and Development expenditures of revenue nature are charged to Profit & Loss Account, while capital expenditure is added to the cost of fixed assets in the year in which these are incurred.
22. Lease
a. Where the Company is the lessee
The company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
The exercise price under a purchase option that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of real estate properties that have a lease term of 12 months. The company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
b. Where the Company is the lessor
Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation are recognised as an expense in the statement of Profit &Loss. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the statement of Profit &Loss.
Assets given under a finance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease income is recognised over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs relating to assets given on finance leases are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
23. Operating Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The CODM who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company.

n) Sensitivity Analysis: Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and expected salary increase rate. Effect of change in mortality rate is negligible. Please note that the sensitivity analysis presented below may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. The results of sensitivity analysis are given below:

The Company's objective when managing capital (defined as net debt and equity) are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefit for other stakeholders, while protecting and strengthening the balance sheet through the appropriate balance of debt and equity funding.

The Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest¬ bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

Note 41 Finacial Risk Management
The Company's business activities are exposed to a variety of risks including liquidity risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects of these risks by managing them through a structured process of identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated efforts to monitor, minimize and mitigate the impact of such risks on its financial performance and capital. For this purpose, the Company has laid comprehensive risk assessment and minimization/mitigation procedures, which are reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board from time to time. These procedures are reviewed to ensure that executive management controls risks by way of a properly defined framework. The Company does not enter into derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes. The following table explains the sources of risk and how the entity manages the risk in its financial statements. The management reviews the status of all principal risks with a significant potential impact. Additionally, the Audit Committee carried out focused risk reviews of its Plant and divisions. These reviews included an analysis of both the principal risks and the controls, monitoring, and assurance processes established to mitigate those risks to acceptable levels. As a result of these reviews, several actions were identified to continue to improve internal controls and the management of risk.
a) Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to financial loss. The company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and deposits to landlords) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions, and other financial instruments. The company generally doesn't have collateral.
Customer credit risk is managed by business through the company's established policy, procedures, and controls relating to customer credit risk management. The credit quality of each customer is assessed and credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables and security deposits are regularly monitored.
b) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flow of financial instruments may fluctuate because of changes in market conditions. Market risk broadly comprises three types of risks namely currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk (for commodities or equity instruments).
(i) Foreign Exchange Risk - The company operates only in India and has not entered into any foreign exchange or commodity derivative contracts. Accordingly, there is no significant exposure to market risk.
(ii) Interest Rate Risk -As a majority of the financial assets and liabilities of the Company are fixed interest-bearing instruments, the Company's net exposure to interest risk is negligible.
(iii) Security Price Risk -. The company's exposure to securities price risk arises from investments held by the company and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or fair value through Profit or Loss.
To manage the price risk arising from investments, the company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of a portfolio is done in accordance with the directions of the Board.
c) Liquidity risk
The company's objective is to at all times maintain the optimum level of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirement at all times. The current committed lines of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium-term expansion needs and hence evaluate the concentration of risk with respect to liquidity as low. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.
The company primarily depends on its own funds and has a low level of borrowing.
