(u) Provisions, contingent liabilities & contigent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past events; 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, when appropriate, 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 financial cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Provisions and contingent liabilities are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
(v) Investment property
Investment in buildings that is not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the Company, are classified as investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. All repairs and maintenance costs incurred for the investment properties are charged to standalone statement of profit and loss account when incurred.
Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line basis over its estimated useful lives. Useful life of the same is estimated as 58 years after considering estimated residual value as 5%.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes (Refer Note 3(b)). Fair values are determined based on ready reckoner rate as specified by State Government. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical carrying value.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition.

i) The entire book value (carrying amount) of inventory is hypothecated as security for Cash Credit Facilities taken from banks.
ii) Quarterly statements of current assets are filed by the Company with State Bank of India, Bank of India and NKGSB Cooperative Bank Limited from whom the company has borrowings on the basis of security of current assets.

26 Employee Benefits
The Disclosures as defined in the Indian Accounting Standard 19 “Employee benefits”, are given below :
a) Defined Contribution Plans
Contribution to provident and other funds is recognised as an expense in Note 22 “Employee benefit expense” of the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Defined Benefit Plan
The present value of gratuity obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation for leave benefits (non funded) is also recognised using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
VIII) The defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk:
Interest risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.
Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk: The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
IX) Sensitivity Analysis
The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 100 basis points:
Notes:
The current service cost recognised as an expense is included in Note 22 'Employee benefits expense’ as gratuity. The remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability is included in other comprehensive income.
The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation take into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is certified by the Actuary.
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period,while holding all other assumptions constant.
c) Other long term benefits :
The obligation for leave benefits (non funded) is also recognised using the Projected Unit Credit Method and accordingly the long term paid absences have been valued. The leave encashment expense is included in Note 22 ‘Employee benefits expense’.

29 Financial Instruments
(i) Financial risk management objective and policies
The Company’s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, other financial instruments.
b) Interest rate risk
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 value of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will vary because of fluctuations in interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations.
Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest
raffle:
c) Foreign Currency risk
The Company enters into transactions in currency other than its functional currency and is therefore exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company analyses currency risk as to which balances outstanding in currency other than the functional currency of that company. The management has taken a position not to hedge this currency risk. The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are not hedged considering the insignificant impact and period involved on such exposure.
d) 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, deposits and loans given, investments and balances at bank.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Expected credit loss is based on actual credit loss experienced and past trends based on the historical data.
e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the company cannot meet its financial obligations. The company’s principal source of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow i.e. generated from operations. The company consistently generated strong cash flows from operations which together with the available cash and cash equivalents and current investment provided adequate liquidity in short terms as well in the long term.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including estimated interest payments.
(ii) Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves. The Company manages its capital structure to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to the stakeholders.
d) The Company does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liability as the current assets are sufficient to meet the obligations related to lease liability as and when they fall due.
