(1) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, 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 and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent Liability is disclosed after careful evaluation of facts, uncertainties and possibility of reimbursement, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in notes.
Contingent assets are not disclosed in the Restated Financial Information unless an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(m) Cash & Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and demand deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
(n) Employee Benefits
Short Term Employee Benefit obligation:
Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss for the year in which the related services are rendered.
Long Term Employee Benefit obligation:
L Defined Contribution plans:
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged to the statement of profit and loss of the year when the contribution to the respective funds are due. There are no other obliaations other than the contribution payable to the fund.
II. Defined benefit plans
Gratuity expense is recognized on payment basis in the statement of profit and loss.
( o) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on intemal/extemal factors. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable value.
The recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s or cash generating unit's, net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the assets. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit and loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. The impairment loss recognized in prior accounting periods is reversed by crediting the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount.
(p) Segment reporting
The Company identifies operating segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the Managing Director (who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker) in decidine how to allocate resources and in assessina performance.

(u) Use Of Critical Estimates, Judgments And Assumptions ~ , ,i,„
The preparation of the Company's Restated Financial Information in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affec the,'eported expenses, Leu and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Estimatesrand judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Uncertainty about these assumptions and est ma cTuld result in outcomes tha, require a material adjustment to file cany.ng amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.

33 Financial instruments
The details of Material Accounting Policies, including criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenditure are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 1.
A Calculation of fair values
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are defined as 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. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments:
i The fair value of the long-term borrowings carrying floating-rate of interest is not impacted due to interest rate changes and will not be significantly different from their carrying amounts as there is no significant change in the under-lying credit risk of the Company (since the date of inception of the loans).
ii Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, investments in term deposits, other financial assets, trade payables, and other financial liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.
c. Fair value hierarchy . . , , .
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and/or disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques.
The categories used are as follows: ... . ,. ,n
• Level 1: It includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices and the mutual funds are measured using the closing Net Asset Value (NAV).
• Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise 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: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in the periods.
There has been no change in fair value hierarchy of any financial asset and liability during the periods ended 31.03.2024, 31.03.2023 and 31.03.2022.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been u significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through out 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:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, r
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations,
