3.11 Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. The Company also discloses present obligations for which a reliable estimate cannot be made. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
3.12 Employee Benefit Expense

Benefits such as salaries, allowances, short-term compensated absences and the expected cost of other benefits is recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related services.
3.13 Leases
With effect from 1 April 2019, the Company has applied Ind AS 116 'Leases' for all long term and material lease contracts covered by the Ind AS. The Company has adopted modified retrospective approach as stated in Ind AS 116 for all applicable leases on the date of adoption.
Measurement of Lease Liability
At the time of initial recognition, the Company measures lease liability as present value of all lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental cost of borrowing and directly attributable costs. Subsequently, the lease liability is
(i) increased by interest on lease liability;
(ii) reduced by lease payments made; and
(iii) remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications specified in Ind AS 116 'Leases', or to reflect revised fixed lease payments.
Measurement of Right-of-use assets
At the time of initial recognition, the Company measures 'Right-of-use assets' as present value of all lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental cost of borrowing w.r.t said lease contract. Subsequently, 'Right-of-use assets' is measured using cost model i.e. at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability specified in Ind AS 116 'Leases'.
Depreciation on 'Right-of-use assets' is provided on straight line basis over the lease period.
The exception permitted in Ind AS 116 for low value assets and short term leases has been adopted by Company.
3.14 Earning per Share
In determining basic earning per share, the company considers the net profits attributable to equity shareholders. The number of shares used in computing basic earning per share is the weighted average number of share outstanding during the period. In determining diluted earnings per share, the net profit attributable to equity shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
3.15 Fair value measurement
The Company measures its qualifying financial instruments at fair value on each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received against sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place in the accessible principal market or the most advantageous accessible market as applicable.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy into Level I, Level II and Level III based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. For a detailed information on the fair value hierarchy, refer note no. 46.
For assets and liabilities that are fair valued in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.

B Fair value hierarchy
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value in the financial statements are grouped into three Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
The category used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The management assessed that fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts, largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for other assets and liabilities:
(i) The fair values of the Company's fixed interest bearing loan and investment in debt securities are determined by applying discounted cash flows (‘DCF') method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) The fair values of the Company fixed rate interest-bearing debt securities and borrowings are determined by applying discounted cash flows (‘DCF') method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. For variable rate interest-bearing debt securities and borrowings carrying value represent best estimate of their fair value as these are subject to changes in underlying interest rate indices as and when the changes happen.
47 Financial Risk Management
The Company's principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade receivables, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that derive directly from its operations. 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.
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.

Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, other financial instruments.
b) Interest Rate Risk
The Company has exposure to interest rate risk, primarily from its lending business and related borrowings. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (all other variables being constant) of the Company's statement of profit and loss.
The Company's policy is to monitor positions of borrowings and loans on a regular basis for managing interest rate risk and for determining the interest rate to be charged on the loan given and having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
c) Foreign currency risk:
The Company does not have any foreign currency risk. Hence no sensitivity analysis is required
d) Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss because its Loans and receivables fail to discharge their contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's Loans and advances, receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and investments. The Company has a framework for monitoring credit quality of its Loans and receivables based on days past due monitoring at period-end. Repayment by individual Loans and receivables are tracked regularly and required steps for recovery are taken through follow ups and legal recourse.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of Loans and 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.
Credit risk management
Company considers probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been any significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk Company compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
Definition of Default
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 90 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which NBFC operates and other macro-economic factors.
For Trade receivables, definition of default has been considered at 360 days past due after looking at the historical trend of receiving the payments.
Company provides for expected credit loss based on following:
The Company classifies its financial assets in three stages having the following characteristics :
Stage 1 :- Unimpaired and without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a twelve months allowance for ECL is recognised;
Stage 2 :- a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a lifetime ECL is recognised; and
Stage 3 :-Objective evidence of impairment, and are therefore considered to be in default or otherwise credit impaired on which lifetime ECL is recognised.
Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when they are thirty days past due ( DPD ) on the reporting date and are accordingly transferred from stage 1 to stage 2 .For Stage 1 an ECL allowance is calculated on a twelve months point in time probability weighted probability of default . For stage 2 and 3 assets a life time ECL is calculated on a lifetime probability of default (Refer note 56)
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies.
e) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations.
