D. Defined Benefit Plan:
The Company has taken a Policy with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover the gratuity liability with respect to the employees and the premium paid to LIC is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss. The difference between the actuarial valuation of the gratuity with respect to employees at the year-end and the contribution paid to LIC is further adjusted in the books of accounts.
The accounting charge for benefits under the defined benefit obligation is calculated by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
All such Employee Benefit expenditure/provisions are reimbursed by the Licensee as per the Operating License Agreement, hence no effect on Statement on Profit & Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Risk Management
The defined Benefit Plan expose the company to risk of actuarial deficit arising out of investment risk, interest rate risk and salary cost inflation risk.
Investment Risks: This may arise from volatility in asset values due to market fluctuations and impairment of assets due to credit losses. These Plans primarily invest in debt instruments such as Government securities and highly rated corporate bonds - the valuation of which is inversely proportional to the interest rate movements.
Interest Rate Risk: The present value of Defined Benefit Plans liability is determined using the discount rate based on the market yields prevailing at the end of reporting period on Government bonds. A decrease in yields will increase the fund liabilities and vice-versa.
Salary Cost Inflation Risk: The present value of the Defined Benefit Plan liability is calculated with reference to the future salaries of participants under the Plan. Increase in salary due to adverse inflationary pressures might lead to higher liabilities.
These Plans have a relatively balanced mix of investments in order to manage the above risks. The investment strategy is designed based on the interest rate scenario, liquidity needs of the Plans and pattern of investment as prescribed under various statutes.
VI Sensitivity Analysis
The below sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
E. Amount towards Defined Contribution Plans have been recognized under Contribution to Provident and Other Funds in Note 16: '41.56 Lakhs (2025 - ' 39.34 Lakhs).

III Financial risk management objectives
The Company has a system-based approach to risk management, anchored to policies and procedures and internal financial controls aimed at ensuring early identification, evaluation and management of key financial risks (such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk) that may arise as a consequence of its business operations as well as its investing activities. Accordingly, the Company’s risk management framework has the objective of ensuring that such risks are managed within acceptable and approved risk parameters in a disciplined and consistent manner and in compliance with applicable regulation. It also seeks to drive accountability in this regard.

Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk - The company invests in mutual fund schemes of leading fund houses. Such investments are susceptible to market price risk that arise mainly from changes in interest rate which may impact the return and value of such investments.
