37. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

i) Risk management objectives and policies

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by a Finance Committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Finance Committee provides assurance to the Company's senior management that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

A) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to the Company under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables including contract assets and financial assets measured at amortised cost. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits. Other financial assets measured at amortized cost includes loans to employees, security deposits and other credit risk related to other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously, while at the same time internal control system in place ensure the amounts are within defined limits.

Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions.

Assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or a litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written-off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach

The Company's trade receivables in respect of projects does not have any expected credit loss as registry of properties sold is generally carried out once the Company receives the entire payment. During the periods presented, the Company made ? Nil (31 March 2024: ? Nil) provision towards interest receivable from customers. In respect of other trade receivables, the Company considers provision for lifetime expected credit loss. Given the nature of business operations, the Company's trade receivables has low credit risk as the Company holds security deposits equivalents ranging from three to six months rentals. Further, historical trends indicate any shortfall between such deposits held by the Company and amounts due from customers have been negligible.

B) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the business, the Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed facilities.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.

(ii) Assets

The Company's fixed deposits, interest bearing security deposits and loans are carried at fixed rate. Therefore, the said assets are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

c) Price risk

The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments held and classified as FVTPL and FVOCI. To manage the price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio of assets.

Sensitivity analysis

Profit or loss and equity is sensitive to higher/ lower prices of instruments on the Company's profit for the periods:

C) Market risk

a) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of the change in foreign currency exchange rates.The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for unhedged transactions are not material, therefore not disclosed.

b) Interest rate risk (i) Liabilities

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings keeping in view of current market scenario.

d) Legal, taxation and accounting risk

The Company is presently involved into various judicial, administrative, regulatory and litigation proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business operations including but not limited to personal injury claims, landlord-tenant disputes, commercial disputes, tax disputes, employment disputes and other contractual disputes. Many of these proceedings seek an indeterminate amount of damages. In situations where management believes that a loss arising from a proceeding is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the probable loss. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these proceedings is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.

To mitigate these risks, the Company employs in-house counsel and uses third party tax & legal experts to assist in structuring significant transactions and contracts. The Company also has systems and controls that ensure the timely delivery of financial information in order to meet contractual and regulatory requirements and has implemented disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting which are tested for effectiveness on an ongoing basis.

Change to any of the above laws, rules, regulations related to the Company business could have a material impact on its financial results. Compliance with any proposed changes could also result in significant cost

for the Company. Failure to fully comply with various laws, rules and regulations may expose the Company to proceedings which may materially affect its performance.

Risks associated with plan provisions

Salary growth risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.

Interest rate risk

A decrease in interest rate in future years will increase the plan liability.

Life expectancy risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of mortality of plan participants both during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.

Withdrawals Risk

Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact the plan liability.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss:

These assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of independent actuarial appraisers.

d) In earlier years, one of the joint venture company, Twenty Five Downtown Realty Limited [formerly Joyous Housing Limited (JHL)] defaulted in meeting its debt obligation to a housing finance company (HFC or Lender). Disputes arose between the shareholders of JHL, and an arbitration for repayment of the Company's entire outstanding dues, inclusive of interest, from JHL is ongoing between the shareholders.

M eanwhile, the Lender assigned the loan to Omkara Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (ARC) and also invoked the pledge of shares, despite the Company's acceptance of Lender's offer to purchase 100% shares of JHL (at a price higher than the reserve price) and repay the outstanding dues of the Lender. The ARC thereafter sold 75% shares of JHL (including 37.5% shares of the Company) to a third party.

The aforesaid assignment of loan as well as the sale of shares has been challenged by the Company before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi (Hon'ble Court) and the Hon'ble Court has referred the said disputes between all parties involved to arbitration before a sole arbitrator i.e. Retired Former Judge, Supreme Court of India.

Consequently, the aforesaid Arbitration shall proceed as per law.

F urther, the Company has filed a petition under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 against JHL before the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai for initiation of corporate insolvency proceedings against JHL on basis of admission of liability in its audited balance sheets. The Company has also filed a complaint before MahaRERA challenging the registration of the project by JHL inter alia on the grounds of improper disclosure and misrepresentation.

Owing to the ongoing actions and circumstances, which are challenged by the Company, JHL at present is not a joint venture of the Company, only in accordance with Ind AS 111 'Joint Arrangement' read with Ind AS 110 'Consolidated Financial Statements'.

Ft present the total loan and investments of the Company in JHL are ? 63,661.28 lakhs (31 March 2024: ? 56,248.71 lakhs). Further, based on the legal advice, management believes that it has a strong likelihood of successful outcome in its favour.
