10. PROVISION, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements 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 Company or when there is 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 same or a reliable estimate of the amount in this respect cannot be made.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the measurement principle of Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements and the use of assumptions in the financial statements have been disclosed below. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the Balance Sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
A. Depreciation and Impairment on Property, Plant and Equipment.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets are depreciated/ amortized on Straight Line Basis/ Written Down Value Basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term, if shorter ) in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, taking into account the estimated residual value, wherever applicable.
The company reviews its carrying value of its PPE and Intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. In such situation assets recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of asset’s or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount rate which reflect the current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realizations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortization and amount of impairment expense to be recorded during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in change estimated in future periods.
B. Impairment allowances on trade receivables
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience. If the financial conditions of the trade receivable were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
C. Income taxes
Significant judgement is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.
D. Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Critical estimate of the DBO involves a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate, anticipation of future salary increases etc. as estimated by Independent Actuary appointed for this purpose by the Management. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
E. Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/litigations/ against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
19.1 Refer Statement of Changes in Equity for movement in balances of reserve.
19.2 Nature and Purpose of Reserves :
a) General Reserve :The General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purposes. As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and it will not be reclassified subsequently to Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Securities Premium Reserve Securities Premium Reserve represents the amount received in excess of par value of securities. Section 52 of Companies Act, 2013 specify restriction and utilisation of security premium.
c) Retained Earnings : Retained earnings generally represent the undistributed profit/amount of accumulated earnings of the company.
d) Other Comprehensive Income:Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) represent the balance in equity for items to be accounted under OCI and comprises of the following: i) Items that will not be reclassified to profit and loss :ii) The company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of non-current investments in OCI. This reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses arising on the revaluation of equity instruments measured at fair value. iii) Remeasurement of Gains/(Losses) on defined benefit Plans.
33 Segment Information
Consequent to the adoption of Ind AS, the Company has identified one operating segment viz, “Tea” which is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker.
The Company deals in only one product i.e., Tea. The products and their applications are homogenous in nature.
34 Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments (to the extent not provided for)
34.1 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - Rs. Nil (Previous Year Rs.Nil)
34.1.1 A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. During the normal course of business, several unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The inflow of economic benefits, in respect of such claims cannot be measured due to uncertainties that surround the related events and circumstances.
(b) Defined Benefit Plan
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to Gratuity on terms not less favourable than the provisions of The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Defined benefit plan is partly funded with LIC and remaining is unfunded.
The Company also has certain Defined Contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India at the rate of 12% of salary of the employees covered as per the regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the Government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation.
The present value of obligation is determined based on acturial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employees benefit entitlement and measures each unit separatly to build up the financial obligation.
Fair Valuation Techniques
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, current trade receivables and payables, other current financial liabilities and assets approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at nominal cost/amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
Fair value of Investment in unquoted Non Cumulative Redeemable Preference Share and security deposit have been determined based on Effective interest Rate method(EIR) and differential thereof has been recognised as deferred loss/gain and to be recognised to profit and loss over the tenure of the instrument.
Investments traded in active market are determined by reference to the quotes from the Stock exchanges as at the reporting date. Investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held. Unquoted investments in shares have been valued based on the historical net asset value as per the latest audited financial statements.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
The Inputs used in fair valuation measurement are as follows :
Fair valuation of Financial assets and liabilities not within the operating cycle of the company is amortised based on the borrowing rate of the company.
Unquoted investments in shares have been valued based on the amount available to shareholder’s as per the latest audited financial statements. There were no external unobservable inputs or assumption used in such valuation.
38.4 Financial risk factors
The Company’s financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade and other payables. The Company’s financial assets comprise mainly of cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks including trade receivables and other receivables, Deposits and Investments. The Company is exposed to Market risk, Credit risk and Liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Director reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
38.5 Market risk
The Company’s business is primarily agricultural in nature, exposes it to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of adverse weather conditions and lack of future markets. The Company closely monitors the changes in market conditions and select the sales strategies to mitigate its exposure to risk.
38.6 Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The objectives of the Company’s interest rate risk management processes are to lessen the impact of adverse interest rate movements on its earnings and cash flows and to minimise counter party risks.
The Company is exposed to interest rate volatilities primarily with respect to its short terms borrowings from banks as well as Financial Institutions. Such volatilities primarily arise due to changes in money supply within the economy and/or liquidity in banking system due to asset/liability mismatch, poor quality assets etc. of banks. The Company manages such risk by operating with banks having superior credit rating in the market as well as Financial Institutions.
38.7 Price risks
The Company invests its surplus funds primarily in Equity Instruments, Preference Shares and mutual funds measured at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income reserve. Aggregate value of such investments as at 31st March, 2025 is Rs. 1718.89 Lakhs (Previous Year Rs.2175.77 Lakhs).
Accordingly, other price risk of the financial instrument to which the company is exposed is not expected to be material.
38.8 Credit risks
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily trade receivables and other financial assets including deposits with Bank. Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and ageing of accounts receivable. The Company’s exposure of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties. The credit risk of the Company is low as the Company largely sells its teas through the auction system which is on cash and carry basis.
38.9 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund based working capital loans from banks. The company relies on borrowings and internal accruals to meet its fund requirement. The current committed line of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium term fund requirement.
The following tables detail the Company’s contractual maturity for its non derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. 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 as at balance sheet date:
A) The Ratio improved in compairsion to last year due to significant decrease in current Liabilities in current year.
B) The Ratio decreased due to significant decrease in current borrowing in the current year.
C) The Ratio improved due to significant increase in Profit after Tax in the current year.
D) The Ratio improved due to significant decrease in net credit purchase in the current year.
E) The Ratio decreased due to significant decrease in total investment in the current year.
