a Gratuity Plan (Funded)
The Company's gratuity scheme, a defined benefit plan is as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, covers the eligible employees and is administered through certain gratuity fund trusts. Such gratuity funds, whose investments are managed by insurance companies/trustees themselves, make payments to vested employees or their nominees upon retirement, death, incapacitation or cessation of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and tenure of employment. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The amount of gratuity payable is the proportionate salary for 15 days multiplied for the number of years of service based on the 26 days average salary computed on the basis of last drawn basic salary per month.
b Other Defined Benefits (Un-Funded):
Other employee benefits are accounted for on accrual basis. Liabilities for compensated absences are determined based on independent actuarial valuation at year end and charge is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company recognises undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits during the accounting period based on service rendered by the employee. During the year ended 31st March 2026, Company has paid Rs. 57.01 lakhs towards short term leave benefits (31st March 2025 Rs. 53.16 lakhs).
Asset-Liability Matching Strategy
The Company deploys its fund in bonds, special deposit, Life Insurance Corporation and other insurance companies in Textile Division and has Group Gratuity insurance policy with insurers in Tea Division. The Company aims to maintain a close to full-funding position at each Balance Sheet date. Any deviation from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio. The Company intends to maintain the above investment mix in the coming years.
l The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
m At 31st March 2026, the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation was 10 years in Tea Division (previous year 11 years in Tea Division ).
n A separate trust fund is created to manage the gratuity plan and the contributions towards the trust fund is done as guided by rule 103 of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. As such there are no plan for amendments, curtailments and settlements in the Tea Division, but the Board had decided in its meeting dated 10th March 2022 to close the operation of the Textile Division (Since Discontinued Operations). Hence, all liabilities relating to Textile Division had been computed as due during previous financial year and will be honoured by the company accordingly. The Company expects to contribute Nil (previous year Rs.145 lakh) to its gratuity fund in 2025-26.
o Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation (DBO) as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown.

51 Financial Risk Management
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, the Company has risk management policies as described below :-
51.1 Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss arising from default / failure by the counterparty to meet financial obligations as per the terms of contract. The Company is exposed to credit risk for receivables, Cash & Cash equivalents, financial guarantees and derivative financial instruments. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risks.
Credit risk on receivables is minimum since sales through different mode (e.g.. auction, consignment, private - both domestic and export) are made after Iudging credit worthiness of the customers, advance payment or against letter of credit by banks. The history of defaults has been minimal and outstanding receivables are regularly monitored. For credit risk on the loans to parties, the Company is not expecting any material risk on account of non-performance by any of the parties. For derivative and financial instruments, the Company manages its credit risks by dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions. Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's treasury department in accordance with the Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
The carrying value of the financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations. The Company monitors rolling forecast of its liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company's approach is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity or borrowing headroom to meet its obligations at all point in time. The Company has sufficient short-term fund based lines, which provides healthy liquidity and these carry highest quality credit rating from reputed credit rating agency.
51.2.1 Fund Management
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (including the undrawn credit facilities extended by banks and financial institutions) and Cash & Cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the Company's liquidity management policy involves proIecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
51.3 Market Risk 51.3.1Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the U.S.Dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency(INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
Since the Company's financials are prepared and reported in INR which also is the functional currency of the Company and as it doesn't have any foreign associate, subsidiary etc, there is no translation risk involved. On the date of financial results, Company doesn't have significant foreign currency trade payables and receivables etc. and is, therefore, not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
a Exposure to Currency risk
The Company does not have any unheadged foreign currency exposure as at 31st March 2026 and 31st March 2025. Therefore, disclosure of foreign currency exposure and the management of currency risk is not applicable.
b Sensitivity Analysis
Since, the Company doesn't have any major foreign currency operations, the analysis is not reported.
51.3.2 Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to risk due to interest rate fluctuation, on the following:
a Interest rate risk arises from the sensitivity of financial assets and liabilities to changes in market rate of interest. The Company have investments in fixed interest bearing financial asset during the financial year ended 31st March 2026.
b The interest rate risk can also impact the provision for retiral benefits. The Company generally utilizes variable rate borrowings and therefore subIect to interest rate risk, as both the carrying amount and the future cash flows will fluctuate because of change in the market interest rates.
During 31st March 2026 and 31st March 2025, all the Company's investments and borrowings were at fixed rate mainly denominated in INR.
The price risk is the risk arising from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet either at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income or at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company's equity investments are mainly strategic in nature and are generally held on a long-term basis. Further, the current investments are in units of liquid mutual fund, debentures, Alternate Investment Funds and Pass-through instruments etc and these are not exposed to significant price risk.
52 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's obIective for capital management is to maximize shareholder wealth, safeguard business continuity and support the growth of the Company.
