Classification of Joint Arrangements:

The joint arrangements in relation of joint operations mentioned above requires unanimous consent from all the parties for all relevant activities.

Key managerial personnel who are under the employment of the Company are entitled to post employment benefits recognized as per Ind AS 19 - ‘Employee Benefits’ in the Standalone financial statements. As these employee benefits are amounts provided on the basis of actuarial valuation, the same is not included above. Gratuity has been computed for the Company as whole and hence not included as part of managerial remuneration.

The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

29 Employee Benefit Obligations(i) Defined contribution plan Provident Fund

The contributions to the Provident Fund of the employees are made to a Government administered Provident Fund and there are no further obligations beyond making such contribution. Employer’s Contribution to Provident Fund amounting to ' 9.98 Lakhs (March 31,2024 - ' 8.55 lakhs) has been recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) Leave Encashment

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for earned leave.

The amount of ' Nil (March 31,2024 - ' NIL) has been recognised in statement of profit and loss, since the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the company does not expect all employee to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

(iii) Defined benefit plan Gratuity

Every employee is entitled to a benefit equivalent to fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service in line with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or company scheme whichever is beneficial. The same is payable at the time of separation from the company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefits vest after five years of continuous service.

The above sensitivity analyses 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.

30 Financial 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 Board is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The Board holds regular meetings on its activities. 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 Board 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.

a) 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.

Cash and cash equivalents

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with banks is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by external credit rating agencies, accordingly the Company considers that the related credit risk is low.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due. The Company’s treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining liquidity through investments in liquid funds. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates which could 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 and debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is not exposed to currency risk on account of foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency (').

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company’s deposits/loans are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortized 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 has assessed no exposure to fluctuating change of market interest rates.

31 Fair value measurement

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value - these include cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables and trade payables.

Note: Carrying amounts of Cash and Cash equivalents,Trade and other receivables, Bank balances, Trade payables and Other Payables as at March 31, 2025 and March 31,2024 approximate the fair value.
