2.10 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
2.10.1 Provisions
A provision is recorded when the Company has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. A provision is reversed when it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provision for warranty claims is recognised at the time of sale based on the historical experience. Initial estimate of warranty expense is reviewed annually.
2.10.2 Contingent Liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed 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. Show cause notices are not considered as Contingent Liabilities unless converted into demand.
2.11 Leases
The Company's leases primarily consist of leases for certain plant and machinery, Vehicles and warehouse. The Company, being a lessee, assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. Company recognises Right-of-Use Asset and lease liability only when the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets, for which the entity is reasonably certain to exercise the right to purchase are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates.
For the short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
2.12 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.13 Financial Assets
2.13.1 Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
(i) Those measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (in case of investments in mutual funds)
(ii) Those measured at amortised cost.
2.13.2 Measurement
Initial Recognition Measurement
Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes party to the contract. The Company measures a financial asset initially at its fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
2.13.3 Subsequent Measurement
2.13.3.1 Investments
Investments are subsequently measured at Fair value through Profit and loss. Income or loss from these financial assets is included in other income or other expenses.
2.13.3.2 Other Financial Assets
After Initial Measurement, financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR method). Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or cost that are an integral part of EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
2.13.4 Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been significant increase in credit risk. Note 7.2 details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires Expected Credit Losses (ECL) to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each Balance Sheet date, right from its initial recognition.
2.13.5 Derecognition of Financial Assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.
2.14 Financial Liabilities
2.14.1 Classification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost.
2.14.2 Initial recognition and measurement
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
2.14.3 Loans and Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
2.14.4 De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.14.5 Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.15Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into forward contract to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. These derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and subsequently measured through at profit or loss. Gains or loss arising from changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
2.16 Dividend to Shareholders
Final dividend proposed and distributed to equity shareholders is recognised only in the financial year in which it is approved by the members of the Company in the Annual General Meeting. Interim dividend is recognised when approved by the Board of Directors at the Board Meeting. Dividend distributed is recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
2.17 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.18 Segment Information
The Company has identified "Domestic Appliances" as a only reportable segment based on the manner in which operating results are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
2.19 Prior Period
Errors of material amount relating to prior period(s) are disclosed by a note with nature of prior period errors, amount of correction of each such prior period presented retrospectively, to the extent practicable along with change in basic and diluted earnings per share. However where retrospective restatement is not practicable for a particular period then the circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and the description of how and from where the error is corrected are disclosed in notes forming part of Financial statements.
2.20 Cash Flow Statement
Cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/(loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. Cash flow for the year is classified as operating, investing and financing activities.
2.21 Critical Estimates & Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and reported revenue and expenses for the year and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of balance sheet. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon the management's evaluation of the relevant circumstances as of the date of financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
2.22 Rounding of Amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in INR Lakh and has been rounded off to two decimals as per the requirements of Division II of schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.
Nature and purpose of reserves General Reserve
General reserve was created for declaration of dividends as per statutory requirement.
Security Premium
Security Premium represents premium on preferential shares issued (net of issue expenses).
Capital Reserve
Capital reserve was created on forfeiture of shares as per statutory requirement.
Capital Redemption Reserve
Capital redemption reserve was created on Redemption of Preference Shares as per statutory requirement.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, net-off any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
Revaluation Surplus
Represents Net gains arising on the revaluation of the Company's properties (other than investment properties). On disposal of the asset, the balance of the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.
Note: Above contingent liabilities exclude the demands raised by the Central Excise Department on earlier assessment aggregating to H1,899.67 lakhs which have been allowed in favour of the Company by the CESTAT. The department has filed an appeal with the Honourable Supreme Court, which is pending disposal.
Notes:
1. It is not practicable to estimate the timing of cash outflows, if any, in respect of matters pending resolution of the arbitration/appellate proceedings.
2. The Company has disputed various demands raised by tax authorities in respect of Customs, GST as well as pre-GST levies such as sales tax and VAT. These cases are pending before appropriate appellate authorities. The management, based on its evaluation and legal advice, believes that the likelihood of an outflow is not probable at this stage. Therefore, these liabilities have not been recognised in the books of account and are disclosed as contingent liabilities.
3. Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts represent various claims made by third parties in respect of contractual obligations, commercial disputes and other matters. The management, based on legal advice, does not consider these claims as valid liabilities and has therefore not recognised any provision in the financial statements.
The ultimate outcome of these matters is subject to judicial processes and accordingly these have been disclosed as contingent liabilities.
The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
4. As per E-waste (Management) Rules, 2022, as amended, the company has an obligation to complete the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets. The Company has fulfilled its obligation for the current financial year at the rates prevailing/charged in the market by the EPR agencies. Further, Central Pollution Control Board ("the Board") of India has notified higher floor prices for exchange of EPR certificates, which has been legally challenged before the Honourable Delhi High Court by several producers in similar businesses. Since the matter is sub judice, the liability arising from difference between the floor prices notified by the Board and the rates prevailing/charged in the market is disclosed as a contingent liability
5.2 Capital Commitments
Capital commitments represent the estimated value of contracts entered by the Company for acquisition of property, plant and equipment and other capital assets, which remain to be executed as at the balance sheet date. These obligations are contractual in nature and are not recognised as liabilities since the related assets have not yet been received or the services have not yet been rendered. Accordingly, these are disclosed as commitments and indicate future cash outflows.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets and other financial liabilities (other than those specifically disclosed) are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
6.2 Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note 6.1 above has been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical Assets or Liabilities.
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
• Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
6.3 Valuation Technique used to determine Fair Value:
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
1. Use of quoted market prices for Listed instruments
2. Expected credit loss model valued by the independent valuer
Risk management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee (RMC) for identification, evaluation and mitigation of operations, strategic and external risks. RMC has the overall responsibility for monitoring and recovering the Risk Management Plan and associated practices of the Company.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The RMC oversees how management monitors compliance with the company's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
7.1 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of investments. Thus, Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs.
Market risk comprises two types of risks.
7.1.1 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the Statement of Profit or Loss, other comprehensive income and equity.
The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks. Currently the Company follows a policy of hedging 100% of its trade payables. On an overall basis, the Company has hedged 98.85% of its foreign exchange exposure thus minimising the currency risk.
7.2 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers, investment in mutual funds and cash and cash equivalents.
The maximum exposure to credit risk was H 19,253.06 and H 17,023.47, as at 31st March, 2026 and 31st March, 2025 respectively, being the total carrying value of trade receivables, investments and other financial assets (Security deposit, Deposits with Authorities and Derivative Assets)
The Company makes provision on trade receivables based on Expected Credit loss (ECL) method based on provision matrix.
Trade Receivables:
The Company has outstanding trade receivables amounting to H 6,054.57 lakhs and H 8,170.13 Lakhs as of March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Trade receivables are unsecured in nature, except to the extent of security deposits received from the distributors. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Default on account of Trade Receivables happens when the counterparty fails to make contractual payment when they fall due.
Expected credit loss assessment
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:
7.4 Other Price Risk
The Company is mainly exposed to the other price risk due to its investment in mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. At 31st March, 2026, the investment in mutual funds amounts to H 12,71734 Lakhs (31st March 2025: H 8,448.08 Lakhs). These are exposed to price risk. The Company has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to minimise price risk arising from investments in mutual funds. A 1% increase/ (decrease) in prices would increase the equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below.
7.3 Liquidity Risk
Liquidity needs of the Company are monitored on the basis of monthly and yearly projections. The company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from the operations and bank borrowings.
The Company manages the liquidity needs by continuously monitoring cash inflows and by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents. Net cash requirements are compared to available cash in order to determine any shortfalls.
Short term liquidity requirements consist mainly of sundry creditors, expense payable, employee dues and repayment of loans arising during the normal course of business as of each reporting date. The Company meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through efficient working capital management and by accessing additional and alternative credit facilities available in the financial market. The Company has acceptances in line with supplier's financing arrangements which might invoke liquidity risk as a result of liabilities being concentrated with few financial institutions instead of a diverse group of suppliers. The Company has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.
The Company assesses long-term liquidity requirements on a periodical basis and manages them through internal accruals and bank borrowings.
Equity share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of Company's capital management. The Company manages its capital so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimize returns to shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management's judgement of its strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence. The management and the Board of Directors monitor the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders. The Company may take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary, adjust, its capital structure.
The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'total equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances. Total equity comprises all components of equity.
