(b) Defined Benefit Plans (Gratuity)

The Company has a funded gratuity scheme for its employees and gratuity liability has been provided based on the actuarial valuation done at the year end. The gratuity scheme of the Company is funded with the Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The Company has a robust business risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks impacting business of the Company. This framework seeks to create transparency, minimise adverse impact on the business objectives and enhance the Company's competitive advantage. This also defines the risk management approach across the enterprise at various levels including documentation and reporting. Risk management forms an integral part of the Company's Business Plan. The Company has adequate internal processes to assess, monitor and manage financial risks. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

(i) Credit risk management

A significant portion of the Company's sales of vacation ownerships are by way of deferred payment schemes where the customer is obligated to pay the membership fee in Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and the ensuing credit risk is managed by the Company in the following manner:

(a) preliminary assessment of customer credit worthiness, ensuring realisation of minimum down payment and adherence to internal KYC norms;

(b) collecting post dated instruments such as cheques, Automated Clearing House (ACH) mandates, standing credit card instructions from the customers at inception to ensure security cover.

From an accounting perspective, revenue is recognised only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company. The member is not allowed to use the benefits of membership untill the overdue amount is regularised or fully paid in that relevant period. The Company also assesses lifetime expected credit loss by using appropriate models, as prescribed by Ind AS 109, using past trends of collections and historical credit loss experience. The categorisation of the receivables into its ageing buckets for the purposes of estimating the expected loss allowance has been profiled based on the longest overdue of that member, for example, if a member has one instalment overdue for say 12 months, the entire receivable of the member is aggregated into that ageing bucket and the credit loss allowance is

determined after taking into account the credits against the member under “Contract liability- deferred revenue - vacation ownership fee" (refer note 29 and note 34).

The allowances for credit loss and for revenue deferred at inception referred to above, carried at the end of every reporting period, are tested for adequacy and appropriately dealt with.

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities (predominantly trade payables, retention payables, etc) 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 Company has provided financial guarantees to its wholly owned subsidiaries. The amounts included above for financial guarantee contracts are the maximum amounts the Company could be forced to settle under the arrangement for the full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee. Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the Company considers that it is more likely that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.

During the year, for borrowings from banks on the basis of security of current assets, quarterly returns or quarterly statements of current assets filed by the Company with banks are in agreement with the books of account.

(iii) Market risk management

The Company's market risk comprises solely of its foreign currency exposure which are limited and not material to the size of its operations.

Currency Risk

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company's exposure to currency risk relates primarily to the Company's investing activities when transactions are denominated in a different currency from the Company's functional currency.

The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows.
