5c Estimation of fair value
The company undertakes valuation for its investment properties at least once in three years from an Independent Valuer.
The fair values of investment properties have been determined by Prasad & Associates & Techno Design Govt. Registered
Valuers & Chartered Engineers. The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties.
The valuer has considered the current prices in an active market for properties of different nature or recent prices of similar
properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect the differences with regard to availability of the infrastructure facilities,
locality of the property and market demand for those properties. Accordingly, fair value estimates for investment properties
are included in level 3. However, in case of properties acquired during the year, transaction price is considered as fair value.

55 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For the Year ended March 31st, 2025, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards
applicable to the Company
56 Previous year's figures have been regrouped and rearranged wherever necessary to make them comparable with the
current year figures.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received on sale of an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
I) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, financial liabilities and assets approximate
their carrying amount largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The management considers that
the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at nominal cost/amortised cost in the
financial statements approximate their fair values. The fair value of unquoted equity investments designated and
recognised through Other Comprehensive Income has been determined by using the Cost approach technique through
the net assets value method.
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to above note have 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 identified assets or liabilities [Level 1 measurements] and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3
measurements].
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices
included within level 1.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
D Financial risk management framework
A) The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk
management framework. 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 Board of Directors moniters the 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 risk management framework aims at,
i) Improve financial risk awareness and risk transparency
ii) Identify, control and monitor key risks
iii) Identify risk accumulations
iv) Provide management with reliable information on the Company's risk situation
v) Improve financial returns
B) The company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk
which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk.
a) Credit risk:
i) Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer
contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily
trade receivables), from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks. The management has a credit policy in
place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis
ii) Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, security deposits, investments in securities are neither past due
nor impaired. Cash and cash equivalents, deposits are held with banks which are reputed and credit worthy
banking institutions. Hence the expected credit loss is negligible. Investments in securities - the fair value of the
securities determined are higher than the cost incurred by the company and having sufficient margin. Hence the
expected credit loss is negligible.
iii) Financial assets that are past due but not impaired
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Company's established policy,
procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. The average credit period on sales of products
is less than 90 days. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis. For trade
receivables, as a practical expedient, the Company computes credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix.
The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade
receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period
is as follows:
b) Liquidity risk:
i) Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at
a reasonable price. The Company's objective is to maintain optimum level of liquidity to meet it's cash and collateral
requirements at all times.Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable
securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit line to meet obligations
. Due to the dynamic nature of underlying bussiness, company maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining
availability under committed credit lines.
ii) Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below analyse the company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual
maturities for all non derivative financial liabilities:
iii) Foreign currency risk -
The company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency
transactions, primarily with respect to US$. 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. The risk
is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The objective of hedges is to
minimise the volatility of the INR cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
The company's risk management policy is to hedge around 5% to 10% of forecasted foreign currency sales for
subsequent 12 months and accordingly, foreign exchange forward contracts are taken to hedge the foreign
exchange fluctuations on forecasted sales.

strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and provide adequate return to shareholders
