A description of methods used for sensitivity analysis and its limitations:
Sensitivity analysis is performed by varying a single parameter while keeping all the other parameters unchanged. Sensitivity analysis fails to focus on the interrelationship between underlying parameters. Hence, the results may vary if two or more variables are changed simultaneously. The method used does not indicate anything about the likelihood of change in any parameter and the extent of the change if any.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, mutual funds and alternative investment fund that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity- specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period.

iii) The fair values of unquoted investment in equity shares of investee companies, including those having
multiple business segments are derived as under:
- For investments of investee in listed securities, valuation for frequently traded shares as prescribed in SEBI ICDR Regulations, 2018 amended, as may be reflecting the correct position is considered.
- For investment of investee in mutual funds, NAV of the mutual funds is considered.
- For valuation of any land and property of investee, fair market value of the asset based on current jantri value is considered.
- For valuation of land and property purchased during current financial year, the stamp duty value is considered.
- For investments of investee in unlisted companies, valuation is carried out on realizable net asset value basis, derived from the fair valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities or using DCF Method, in case if projections are made available.
- For valuation of any unlisted Cash Generating Unit / operating business of the investee, the valuation has been arrived by applying DCF method.
- For valuation of real estate development segment of the investee, capital work in process as per books is considered.

to its present value using the required rate of return and the cost of debt of Paushak Limited and returns
expected on similar investments.

R. Financial Risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Liquidity risk; and
- Market risk
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk controls and to monitor risks. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company 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, deposit and other receivables. Credit risk is managed through continuous monitoring of receivables and follow up of overdues.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sector or specific country risks.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer, demographics of the customer, default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
The Company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers and is adjusted for forward looking estimates.
Other than trade and other receivables, the Company has no other financial assets that are past due but not impaired.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The Company ensures that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions.
Maturities of Financial Liabilities
The table herewith analyses the Company's Financial Liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balance dues within the 12 months equal there carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that arises due to changes in market prices and other factors such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity risk. Market risk is also attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt.
Sensitivity Analysis
For the year ended 3151 March, 2026 every 5% weakening of Indian Rupee as compared to the respective major currencies for the above mentioned financial assets/liabilities would increase Company's profit and equity by approximately ' 57.67 Lacs (PY ' 30.14 Lacs). A 5% strengthening of the Indian Rupee as compared to the respective major currencies would lead to an equal but opposite effect.
Price Risk
The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due its investment in equity instruments and equity & debt mutual fund. The price risk arises due to uncertainty about the future market value of these investments.
Management Policy
The Company maintains its portfolio in accordance with framework set by risk management policies duly monitored by competent professionals.

2 The Company did not have any principal repayment in the FY 2025-26, hence this ratio is not applicable.
