h. Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the group 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.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the
Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations
under the contract.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources or an obligation for which the future
outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty. When there is a possible or a present
obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
i. Earning per share
Basic EPS is arrived at based on net profit after tax available to equity shareholders to the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
The diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS, after adjusting for the effects of
potential dilutive equity shares unless impact is anti-dilutive.
j. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents include cash and Cheque in hand, bank balances, demand deposits with
banks and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash & which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Where original maturity is three
months or less.
k. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method where by the profit before tax is adjusted for the
effect of the transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past and future operating
cash receipts or payments and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing
cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are
segregated.
l. Use of estimates and judgements
The estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements are continuously
evaluated by the Company and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions
and factors (including expectations of future events) that the Company believes to be reasonable
under the existing circumstances. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in
the period in which the results are known/materialized.
The said estimates are based on the facts and events, that existed as at the reporting date, or that
occurred after that date but provide additional evidence about conditions existing as at the reporting
date
The above policies were followed to the extent wherever applicable. Subsequently there were no
activities carried, hence there is no specific requirement for adherence of accounting policies.
However, there is no specific information relating to any change of policies due to loss of key
managerial personnel in accounts as well as finance department.
m. Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year
ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind
AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April
01, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has
determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements, standards or
amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
n. Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations:
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is
considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value
less cost to sell. An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset
(or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increases
in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative
impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the
sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognized at the date of de-recognition. Non¬
current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortized
while they are classified as held for sale. Non-current assets (or disposal group) classified as held for
sale are presented separately in the balance sheet. Any profit or loss arising from the sale or
measurement of discontinued operations is presented as part of a single line item in statement of
profit and loss.
Critical estimates and judgment in applying accounting policies
The management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are
prudent and reasonable. Information about estimates and judgments made in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements
are as follows:
i) Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the group 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.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the
Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations
under the contract.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources or an obligation for which the future
outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty. When there is a possible or a present
obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
ii) Accounting policy on taxation
In preparing financial statements, the Company recognizes income taxes of the jurisdiction in which it
operates. There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of
whether additional taxes will be due. The uncertain tax positions are measured at the amount
expected to be paid to taxation authorities when the Company determines that the probable outflow of
economic resources will occur. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the
amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax
assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
iii) Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance
sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or to settle a liability in an ordinary
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or to settle a liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — other techniques for which all input which have a significant effect on the recorded fair
value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs which are not based on observable market data

(i) Fair value hierarchy
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation
sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables,
other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their
carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on
parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this
evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly,
fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
The Financial Instruments are categorised in three level based on the inputs used to arrive at fair value
measurements as described below:-
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. (at cost)
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are
observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data
(ii) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company Financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business
strategies. The company risk management policy is set by the Managing Board.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a
change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result
of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes
that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial
instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and
borrowings.
(a) Market Risk- Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the company's position with regards to
interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a
comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and
floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as
agreed. To manage this, the company periodically assess financial reliability of customer, taking into
account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing
of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through 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,
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,
iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the
thirrl-narh/ miarantppc; nr rmrlit pnhanrpmpnk
(d) Liquidity Risk

time, or at a reasonable price. The company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as
well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related such risk are overseen by
