2 (A) Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance with Ind AS

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act as amended from time to time that are notified and effective as at 31 March 2023.

(b) Historical cost convention

Standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

• certain financial assets and liabilities - measured at fair value,

• defined benefit plans - defined benefit obligations less plan assets measured at fair value, and

• share based payment - measured at fair value

The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees "(INR)" or "(Rs.)" which is also the Company's functional currency and all values are rounded off to nearest lakhs ('00,000) except where otherwise indicated. Wherever the amount is represented as '0' ('zero') it construes a value less than fifty thousand.

2.2 Foreign currency translation and transactions

(a) Functional and presentation currency

A Company's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates and is normally the currency in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash.

(b) Transactions and balances

(i) Initial recognition

On initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates at the date of the transaction.

(ii) Subsequent recognition

As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.

All monetary items denominated in foreign currency are restated at Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI) rates and the exchange variations arising out of settlement / conversion at the FEDAI rates are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Profit or loss on purchase and sale of foreign exchange by the Company in its capacity as Authorised Foreign Exchange Dealer are accounted as a part of the revenue.

2.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the consideration paid for services. Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Revenue from rendering of services is net of Indirect taxes and discounts.

(a) Income from operations

The Company earns revenue from travel and related services and financial services

(i) Financial services

It comprise of income arising from the buying and selling of foreign currencies on the net margins earned, commissions on sale of foreign currency denominated prepaid cards, incentives earned in relation to these cards and agency commissions from Moneygram, Xpressmoney and Western Union on currency remittances. Revenue from financial services are recognized by reference to the time of services rendered.

(ii) Travel and related services

It comprises of leisure tours packages within India and outside India along with travel related services viz travel insurance and visa services. Revenue on leisure tours / holiday's packages are recognized on the completion of the performance obligation which is on the date of departure of the tour.

It also includes income from the sale of airline tickets which is recognized as an agent on the basis of net commission earned, at the time of issuance of tickets, as the Company does not assume any performance obligation post the confirmation of the issuance of an airline ticket to the customer. Performance linked bonuses from airlines are recognized as and when the performance obligations under the schemes are achieved.

(b) Contract balances

(i) Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for services rendered to the customer. If the Company performs by rendering services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

(ii) Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company renders services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

2.4 Taxes on income

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Income tax for the period comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 'Other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the tax is recognised in 'Other comprehensive income' or directly in equity, respectively.

(a) Current tax:

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. Interest income/expenses and penalties, if any related to

income tax are included in current tax expense.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The company offsets the current tax assets as against the liability for provision for tax.

(b) Deferred tax:

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred taxes on items classified under Other comprehensive income ('OCI') has been recognised in OCI.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

2.5 Leases

The company as a lessee

The company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings, vehicles and office equipments. The company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

(1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset

(2) the company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and

(3) the company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the company recognizes a "Right of Use" ("ROU") asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

The company as a lessor

Leases for which the company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.6 Impairment of assets

(a) Financial assets

A financial asset not carried at fair value is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset

is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not otherwise consider, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of an active market for a security. The entity considers evidence of impairment for receivables for each specific asset. All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in statement of profit and loss and are reflected as an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognized as income through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through statement of profit and loss.

The company assess at each date of Balance sheet whether a financial assets or group of financial assets is impaired. In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets and credit risk exposure:

The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. The Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

(b) Non financial assets

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not

be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Total impairment loss of a cash generating unit (CGU) is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the statement of profit and loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.

2.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cheques/drafts on hand, remittances in transit, balances with bank held in current account, demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are repayable on demand and form an integral part of an entity's cash management, and are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current financial liabilities in the balance sheet.

2.8 Financial instruments

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Transaction costs are expensed in the statement of profit and loss, except for financial instruments carried at amortized cost, where transaction costs are adjusted in the amortized cost of the asset.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

Financial assets, other than equity instruments, are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ('FVOCI') or fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL') on the basis of:

(i) the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and

(ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

(a) Measured at amortized cost: Financial assets which have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and is held within a business model with the objective of holding the assets to collect contractual cash flows, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate ('EIR') method, less impairment, if any. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in interest income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition, gain or loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

(b) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income : Financial assets which have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. It is subsequently measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses recognised in the other comprehensive income ('OCI'), except for interest income which is recognised as 'other income' in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the EIR method. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to 'other income' in the statement of profit and loss.

(c) Measured at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset not measured at either amortised cost or FVOCI, is measured at FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised as 'other income' in the statement of profit and loss.

All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value (except for investment in subsidiaries). Equity instruments which are held for trading are measured at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument shall be recognised as 'other income' in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised as 'other income' in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the company's right to receive payments is establishes.

(iii) Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an

indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. The accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets is disclosed in Note 2.6. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

(iv) Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset. On transfer of the financial asset, the Company evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a fair value basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

(b) Financial liabilities

(i) Initial recognition and measurement:

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial liabilities not carried at FVTPL. Financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of profit and loss.

(ii) Subsequent measurement:

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Derecognition:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

(c) Guarantee

Financial guarantee contracts are recognized as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability

is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of amount determined in accordance with Ind AS 37 and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization, where appropriate.

The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the differences of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.

(d) Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in statement of profit and loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

2.9 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

2.10 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit and loss during the period in which they are incurred. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from disposal of assets which are carried at cost is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciation rates are prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. If the management's estimate of the useful life

of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter or longer than that envisaged in the aforesaid Schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher or lower rate respectively, based on the management's estimate of the useful life/remaining life.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, as follows:

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of the lease or useful life of the asset, whichever is lower.

Property, plant and equipment not ready for the intended use on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress".

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit and loss.

2.11 Intangible assets

Intangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortization period is changed accordingly. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an intangible asset are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expense in the statement of profit and loss.

The carrying value of these intangible assets is reviewed at least annually for impairment and adjusted to the

recoverable amount if required.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill on business combination is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cashgenerating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or company's of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or company's of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which in our case are the operating segments.

(ii) Computer software

Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs those are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

• it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use

• management intends to complete the software and use or sell it

• there is an ability to use or sell the software

• it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits

• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software are available, and

• the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software include employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives.

2.12 Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in statement of profit and loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates. Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends on these preference shares are recognised in statement of profit and loss as finance costs.

Borrowings are derecognised from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

2.13 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. A provision is recognized if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations is more probable than not. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure require to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that

reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that the outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Where there are several similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Entity or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

2.14 Other income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive dividend is established. Facility support income, group resource income and management fees is recognised on accrual basis over the period of agreement.

2.15 Employees share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the following plans:

a) Thomas Cook Employees Stock Option Plan -2007

b) Thomas Cook Save As You Earn Scheme 2010 (SAYE Scheme)

c) Thomas Cook Employees Stock Option Plan -2013

d) Sterling Holiday Resorts (India) Limited Employee Stock Options Scheme 2012 - ("SHRIL ESOS 2012")

e) Thomas Cook Employees Stock Option Scheme 2018 - Management (ESOP 2018 - Management)

f) Thomas Cook Employees Stock Option Scheme 2018 - Execom (ESOP 2018 - Execom)

The fair value of options granted under each plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

• including any market performance conditions (e.g., the entity's share price)

• excluding the impact of any service and nonmarket performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and

• including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or holdings shares for a specific period of time).

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in statement of profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

In respect of options granted to the employees of the subsidiary companies, the amount equal to the expense for the grant date fair value of the award is recognized as a debit to investment in subsidiary as a capital contribution and a credit to equity.

Replacement awards are treated as a modification of share based payment arrangement, and the fair value of the new equity instruments (measured at the date of the modification) are included in the measurement of the amount recognised for services received and recognized over the remaining vesting period of the options.

2.16 Employee benefits

(a) Post employment benefits:

(i) Defined contribution plans

The Company has defined contribution plan for postemployment benefit in the form of Superannuation scheme. Contributions to Superannuation scheme are charged to the statement of profit and loss as incurred. The contributions to Superannuation scheme are based on the premium contribution called for by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) with whom the Company has entered into an arrangement.

Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation

2.18 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

2.19 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company's earnings per share is the net profit for the year after deducting preference dividends and any attributable tax thereto for the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year (net of treasury shares) and for all years presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.20 Business Combination

Business combinations of entities under common control are accounted using the "pooling of interests" method and assets and liabilities are reflected at the predecessor carrying values and the only adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies. The figures for the previous periods are restated as if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the preceding period irrespective of the actual date of the combination.

2.21 Cost recognition

Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and have been classified according to their primary nature. The costs of the company are broadly categorised in employee benefit expenses, depreciation and amortisation and other operating expenses. Employee benefit expenses include employee compensation, allowances paid, contribution to various funds and staff welfare expenses. Other operating expenses majorly include sub-contractor charges, rent, recruitment and training expenses, travelling and conveyance, legal and professional fees and communication expenses.

2.22 Treasury shares

The Company has created an Employee Benefit Trust ("ESOP Trust") for providing share based payment to its employees.

2 (D) Recent accounting pronouncement

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:

Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes

The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.

Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements
