The gratuity scheme covers substantially all regular Employees. Such plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as: Interest rate risk, Liquidity Risk, Salary Escalation Risk, demographic risk and Regulatory Risk, defined as follows:
Interest Rate Risk:
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of falling interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Liquidity Risk:
This is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise due to non-availability of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of liquid assets not being sold in time.
Demographic Risk:
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability.
The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
Salary Escalation Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have bearing on the plan's liability.
Regulatory Risk
Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in the maximum limit on gratuity of INR 20,00,000 etc.). The discount rate indicated above reflects the estimated timing and currency of benefit payments. It is based on the yields/ rates available on applicable bonds as on the current valuation date. The salary growth rate indicated above is the Company's best estimate of an increase in salary of the employees in future years, determined considering the general trend in inflation, seniority, promotions, past experience and other relevant factors such as demand and supply in the employment market, etc. Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general or due to specific cause) in a population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time.
