3.11 Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
3.12 Contingent Liability

* Benefit ceiling is applied only for employees other than Managing Director & Chairman & Managing Director
**In case of employees with age above the retirement age mentioned in Plan features, the retirement is assumed to happen immediately and valuation is done accordingly.
In accordance with Indian law, the Company operate a scheme of gratuity which is a defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment in accordance with the provisions under the Code on Social Security, 2020 or as per the Company Scheme, as applicable. Vesting occurs upon completion of contractual period of continuous years of service as defined in the Code on Social Security, 2020. The Company manages the plan through a trust. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust.
28.4 The trust is responsible for the governance of the plan.
28.5 Risk to the Plan
Following are the risk to which the plan exposes the entity :
A Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
C Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign / retire from the Company there can be strain on the cash flows.
D Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate / government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation / regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
Limitation of method used for sensitivity analysis :
Sensitivity analysis produces the results by varying a single parameter & 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. There are no changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis. The Method used does not indicate anything about the likelihood of the change in any parameter and the extent of the change if any.
28.14 Details of Asset- Liability Matching Strategy
There are no minimum funding requirements for a Gratuity benefits plan in India and there is no compulsion on the part of the Company to fully or partially pre-fund the liabilities under the Plan.
35.2 The Fair value of current financial assets and current trade payables measured at amortized cost, are considered to be the same as their carrying amount as they are of short term nature. Hence fair value hierarchy is not given for the same.
35.3 The carrying amount of non - current financial assets and non - current financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled. Hence, fair value hierarchy is not given for the same.
35.4 There are no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.
35.5 Valuation technique and observable inputs used to determine fair value in level 2
The fair values of investments in Mutual Fund units is based on the net asset value ('NAV') as stated by the issuers of these Mutual Fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of Mutual Fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
The fair value of investment in investment property are based on valuation report.
35.6 The fair value of investment in Equity Shares of Applewoods Estate private Limited is based on cost approach. Fair value of net assets used as unobservable input to determine the fair value. 1% change in the unobservable input used in fair valuation has insignificant impact.
Reconciliation of level 3 fair value measurement is as follows:

As on March 31, 2026 no material outstanding amount is payable for purchase of imported material.
ii Interest rate risk
The Company's investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Hence, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
ii Other Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). The Company is exposed to price risk mainly because of investments in mutual funds and equity share classified as fair value through profit and loss. The Company measures risk through sensitivity analysis. The Company's risk management policy is to mitigate the risk by investments in diversified mutual funds.

C Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk encompasses both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness.
Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investments in mutual funds, equity share, cash and cash equivalent and other balances with banks.
In respect of trade receivables, credit risk is being managed by the Company 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. All trade receivables are also reviewed and assessed for default on a regular basis. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large. There is no customer representing more that 10% of total balance of trade receivables.
Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, equity share, cash and cash equivalent and other balances with bank is limited as the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institution with high credit ratings.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date from trade receivables amounting to '4331.45 lakhs as on March 31, 2026 and ' 4563.45 lakhs as on March 31, 2025.

The fair values of all derivatives are separately recorded in the Standalone balance sheet within current and noncurrent assets and liabilities.
Derivatives that are designated as hedges are classified as current or non-current depending on the maturity of the derivative.
The use of derivatives can give rise to credit and market risk. The Company tries to control credit risk as far as possible by only entering into contracts. The use of derivative instruments is subject to limits, authorities and regular monitoring by appropriate levels of management. The limits, authorities and monitoring systems are periodically reviewed by management and the Board. The market risk on derivatives is mitigated by changes in the valuation of the underlying assets, liabilities or transactions, as derivatives are used only for risk management purposes.
