31 - Financial Instruments
Capital management
The Company’s capital management objectives are:
- safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to maximise the returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital
The Management of the Company monitors the capital structure using debt equity ratio which is determined as the proportion of total debt to total equity.
Financial Risk Management Framework
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. In order to manage the aforementioned risks, the Company operates a risk management policy and a program that performs close monitoring of and responding to each risk factor.
CREDIT RISK
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents & other financial assets.
Trade Receivables
The Company’s trade receivables include receivables on sale of residential flats and rent receivable. As per the Company’s flat handover policy, a flat is handed over to a customer only upon payment of entire amount of consideration. The rent receivables are secured by security deposits obtained under the lease agreement. Thus, the Company is not exposed to any credit risk on receivables from sale of residential flats and rent receivables.
The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large. The Company determines the allowance for expected credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. Basis this assessment, the allowance for doubtful trade receivables as at March 31, 2023 is considered adequate.
Cash and Cash Equivalents & Other Financial Assets
For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted. The Company holds cash and cash equivalents with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are having highest safety ratings based on ratings published by various credit rating agencies. The Company considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on external credit ratings of the counterparties.
For Other Financial Assets, the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on reasonable and supportive forward looking information. Other Financial Assets are considered to be low credit risk exposure assets.
LIQUIDITY RISK
(i) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The amount disclosed in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk such as equity price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Board of Directors.
Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
(i) Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in the foreign exchange rate. The Company undertakes few transactions denominated in foreign currencies only for availing certain services. Hence Foreign currency risk is not significant in comparison to company’s operations.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s debt obligations with floating interest rates.The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and floating rate loans and borrowings.
33. Leases

The Company has entered into operating lease arrangements for its registered office at Worli, Mumbai & Andheri regional office. The lease is non-cancellable for a period of 1 - 3 years and may be renewed based on mutual agreement between the parties. The leases have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. The Company has recognised right of use assets for these leases, except for short term leases.
34. Segment information
The reportable segments of the Company are ‘Projects, Project Management and Development’ and ‘Operating of Commercial Complexes’.

i) Projects, Project Management & Development: This Segment of the business includes income from sale of residential units across projects, project management and development in India.
ii) Operating of Commercial Complexes: This Segment of the business includes rental income from commercial properties at New Delhi

The measurement of each segment’s revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the financial statements. Segment profit represents the profit before interest and tax.
Revenue from type of products and services
The operating segments are primarily based on nature of products and services and hence the Revenue from external customers of each segment is representative of revenue based on products and services.
Geographical Information
The Company operates in one reportable geographical segment i.e. "Within India”. Hence, no separate geographical segment wise disclosure is applicable as per the requirements of Ind AS 108 Operating Segments.

The Company’s contribution to Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund aggregating ' 341.58 lakhs (31st March, 2022 : ' 242.48 lakhs) has been recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss under the head Employee Benefits Expense.
(b) Defined Benefit Plans:
Gratuity
The Company operates a gratuity plan covering qualifying employees. The benefit payable is the greater of the amount calculated as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or the Company scheme applicable to the employee. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of continuous service and once vested it is payable to employees on retirement or on termination of employment. In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective of vesting. The Company makes contribution to the group gratuity scheme administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India through its Gratuity Trust Fund.
Through its defined benefit plans the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the 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 the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
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. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables.
