r) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized for liabilities that can be measured only by using a substantial degree of estimation, if: i) The Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event; ii) A probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation; and iii) The amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of: i) A present obligation arising from a past event when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; or ii) A possible obligation unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
s) Statement of cash flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/(loss) before extraordinary items and 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. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
t) Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements.
u) Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average numbers of the equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date.
v) Common Control Business combination
Business combinations involving entities that are controlled by the company or ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and where control is not transitory, are accounted for using the pooling of interest’s method as follows:
• The assets and liabilities of the transferred entity are recognized at their carrying amounts immediately prior to the transfer.
• No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities. Adjustments are only made to harmonies accounting policies.
• The identity of the reserves is preserved and the reserves of the transferor division/Company in respect of prior periods is restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. However, where the business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information is restated only from that date.
• The consideration, if any, for the combination may consist of securities, cash or other assets. Securities are recorded at nominal value.
• The difference, if any, between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital (if any) of the transferor shall be transferred to capital reserve and should be presented separately from other capital reserves.
w) Accounting and reporting information for operating segments
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments.
Accordingly, information has been presented along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments and are as set out in the note of significant accounting policies. Revenue for 'all other segments' represents revenue from segments that are not reportable under Ind AS 108.
Operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainder of the costs are categorized in relation to the associated turnover of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company believes that it is not practical to provide segment
disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and directly charged against total income.
Assets and liabilities used in the Company's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments and it is not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities.
Information about geographical areas: The Company derives revenue from customers who have operations in various countries.

* It is actuarially calculated term of the liability using probabilities of death, withdrawal and retirement.
A It is simple arithmetical difference between retirement age and average age (by zeroing out negatives for employees above retirement age) and is calculated without using any decrements.
F. RISK EXPOSURE AND ASSET LIABILITY MATCHING
Provision of a defined benefit scheme poses certain risks, some of which are detailed hereunder, as companies take on uncertain long-term obligations to make future benefit payments.
Liability Risks
Ý Asset-Liability Mismatch Risk
Risk which arises if there is a mismatch in the duration of the assets relative to the liabilities. By matching duration with the defined benefit liabilities, the company is successfully able to neutralize valuation swings caused by interest rate movements. Hence companies are encouraged to adopt asset-liability management.
Ý Discount Rate Risk.
Variations in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the liabilities may seem small, but in practise can have a significant impact on the defined benefit liabilities.
Ý Future Salary Escalation and Inflation Risk
Since price inflation and salary growth are linked economically, they are combined for disclosure purposes. Rising salaries will often result in higher future defined benefit payments resulting in a higher present value of liabilities especially unexpected salary increases provided at management's discretion may lead to uncertainties in estimating this increasing risk.
Unfunded Plan Risk
This represents unmanaged risk and a growing liability. There is an inherent risk here that the company may default on paying the benefits in adverse circumstances. Funding the plan removes volatility in company's financials and also benefit risk through return on the funds made available for the plan.
Notes:
1. Total debts consist of borrowings and lease liabilities.
2. Earnings available for debt services=profit for the year depreciation, amortization and impairment finance cost provision for doubtful debts share-based payment to employees non-cash charges.
3. Debt service = Interest payment for lease liabilities principal repayments.
4. Credit sales = Total Revenue opening contract assets - closing contract assets - opening deferred revenue closing deferred revenue.
5. Earnings before interest and taxes = profit before tax finance cost - other income
6. Capital Employed = Average tangible net worth Total debt Deferred tax.
7. Average is calculated on the basis of opening and closing balances.
Reasons:
1. The variance is primarily due to a significant increase in current liabilities, driven by recognition of short-term lease liabilities under Ind AS 116, increased short-term borrowings, higher trade payables, outstanding statutory dues, and customer advances.
2. The debt-equity ratio for the current year is 0.62, whereas it was not applicable in the previous year due to the absence of debt. The variance is due to the introduction of external debt in the current year through new borrowings taken to support business expansion and working capital requirements.
3. The DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) for the current year is -0.31, while no ratio was reported in the previous year due to the absence of debt. The variance is due to the introduction of new borrowings in the current year, leading to interest and principal repayment obligations, while operating cash flows were insufficient to meet these commitments.
4. The variance is due to a substantial increase in net loss during the year and a simultaneous rise in shareholders’ funds, which together led to a deeper negative return on equity.
5. The variance is due to the introduction of credit sales in the current year, resulting in the recognition of trade receivables and the emergence of the Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio.
6. The variance is on account of trade payables being Nil in the previous year. In the current year, normal credit balances with vendors exist, resulting in a meaningful ratio.
7. The variance is due to a significant increase in current liabilities—primarily from lease liabilities, short¬ term borrowings, and customer advances—exceeding the growth in current assets, resulting in negative net working capital.
8. The variance is due to higher revenue and reduced expenses, resulting in a lower net loss margin compared to the previous year
9. The variance is due to an increase in net loss during the current year, which led to a more negative ratio compared to the previous year.
37. Financial risk management
The Company’s financial liabilities comprise mainly of trade payables and other payables. The Company’s financial assets comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks and other receivables.
Company has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit Risk
- Liquidity Risk
- Market Risk
Risk Management Framework
Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for establishment of Company’s risk management framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring Company’s risk management policies. Management identifies, evaluate and analyses the risks to which is company is exposed to and set appropriate risk limits and controls to monitor risks and adherence to limits.

Management through its interaction and training to concerned employees aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which concerned employees understand their roles and obligations.
i. 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 partially from the
Company’s receivables from customers, loans and investment in debt securities. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure. The Company has credit policies in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.
The principal credit risk that the Company is exposed to is non-collection of trade receivables and late collection of receivables leading to credit loss. The risk is mitigated by reviewing creditworthiness of the prospective customers prior to entering into contract and post contracting, through continuous monitoring of collections by a dedicated team.
The Company reviews trade receivables on periodic basis and makes provision for doubtful debts if collection is doubtful. The Company also calculates the expected credit loss (ECL) for non-collection and for delay in collection of receivables. The Company makes additional provision if the ECL amount is higher than the provision made for doubtful debts. In case the ECL amount is lower than the provision made for doubtful debts, the Company retains the provision made for doubtful debts without any adjustment.
The provision for doubtful debts including ECL allowances for non-collection of receivables and delay in collection, on a combined basis, was Rs. 0.04 Lakhs as at March 31, 2025, Nil as at March 31, 2024 and Nil as at March 31, 2023. The movement in allowances for doubtful accounts comprising provision for both non-collection of receivables and delay in collection is as follows:
ii. Liquidity Risk

The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through available funding from shareholder. The Company’s financial liabilities are due within one year.
iii. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risks;
- Interest rate risk
- Currency Risk
Financial instruments affected by market risk includes investments, trade payables, loans and other financial instruments.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return
Interest rate risk and sensitivity
