Disclosure in respect of Defined Benefit Plans in respect of Gratuity .

The present value of obligation and defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation report.

The Company has funded the gratuity liability ascertained on actuarial basis, wherein every employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to gratuity on retirement or resignation or death calculated at 15 days salary for each completed year of service, subject to maximum of Rs. 20 lakhs per employee. The vesting period for gratuity as payable under The Payment of Gratuity Act is 5 years.

Valuation are performed on certain basic set of pre- determined assumptions which may vary over time. Thus , the company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit which are as follows :

Interest Rate risk : The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest risk. 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 ( as shown in financial statements ).

Liquidity Risk : This is the risk that the Company is not 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 illiquid assets not being sold in time.

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 a bearing on the plan’s liability.

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.

Regulatory Risk : Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payent of Gratuity Act, 1972 ( as amended from time to time ). There is a risk of change in regulation requiring higher gratuity payouts ( e.g. increase in the maximum limit on gratuity of Rs. 20,00,000).

Asset Liability mismatching or Market Risk : The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Company to market risk for volatilities / fall in interest rate.

Investment Risk : The probability or likelihood of occurance of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The result of sensivity analysis is given below :

Please note that the sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

There is no change in the method of valuation for the prior period._
