(K) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company 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.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
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.
(L) Taxation
(i) Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Income tax expense for the year comprises of current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination or to an item which is recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and adjust provisions accordingly where ever appropriate.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except when it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. 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 utilized.
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. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
(M) Employee Benefits
(i) Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries and performance incentives, are charged to standalone statement of profit and loss on an undiscounted, accrual basis during the period of service rendered by the employees in the financial year.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plans:
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as employees’ state insurance, labour welfare fund, superannuation scheme, employee pension scheme etc. are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. Company”s contribution to provident fund is made to Government Administered Fund. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering all employees. The plan provides for a lumpsum payment to employees at retirement/determination of service on the basis of 15 days terminal salary for each completed year of service subject to maximum amount of Rs. 20 Lacs.
Company’s liability towards gratuity and compensated absences is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period by independent actuary. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes, is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) in
the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in the other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
The classification of the Company’s net obligation into current and non-current is as per the actuarial valuation report. Refer Note 35 for Employee benefit plan calculations.
(iv) Share Based Payments
Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments in consideration of the services rendered.
For cash-settled share-based payments, the fair value of the amount payable is recognised as ‘employee benefit expenses’ with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period of non-market vesting conditions getting fulfilled. The liability is remeasured at each reporting period up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in employee benefits expenses.
Under the equity settled share based payment, the fair value of Rs 318 lakhs on the grant date of the awards given to employees required to be recognized under Ind AS 102. as ‘employee benefit expenses’ with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period is netted off against other income resulting in no impact on profit before tax. (Refer note 24(i)(e)) When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.
(v) Impact of New Labour Code
On 21 st November 2025, the Government of India notified the four Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Ministry of Labour & Employment published draft Central Rules and FAQs to enable assessment of the financial impact due to changes in regulations. There is no material incremental impact in the gratuity and compensated absences liability in financial statements as at 31.03.2026 due to change in definition of wages.
(N) Revenue RecognitionSale of Products/Services
As per Ind AS 115, Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The Performance Obligations in our contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on terms with customers.
Revenue is measured on the basis of contracted price, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the Government such as Goods and Services Tax, etc. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provision for such discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur.
Sales return - Our customers have the contractual right to return goods only when authorised by the Company. Sale returns are accounted on actual receipt of goods from the customers.
The entire revenue from sale of products is recognised at a point in time.
Specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognized.
(a) Conversion charges are recognized on completion of jobs and based on agreements as the service is performed and there are no unfulfilled obligations.
(b) Interest Income from financial asset is recorded on time proportion basis using the effective rate of Interest (EIR).
(c) Carbon Credits are recognized on realization basis.
O) Earning per equity shares
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its equity shares.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period which is adjusted for such events, such as bonus shares.
For the purpose of calculating Diluted EPS, net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. (Refer note 32)
P) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Company’s Managing Director assesses the financial performance and position of the Company, and makes strategic decision and has been identified as the chief operating decision maker. The Company’s primary business segment is reflected based on principal business activities carried on by the Company. The company is operating under a single segment i.e., “Dairy Products - comprising Ghee and Milk Powder and therefore there are no reportable segments as per IND AS-108 “Operating Segments” issued under section 133 of Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015.
The company has received 10% or more of its revenue from one customer during the year.
Q) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence 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 a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Therefore, determination of the amount to be recognised as a liability or to be disclosed as a contingent liability, in each case, is inherently subjective, and needs careful evaluation and judgement to be applied by the management.
In case of provision for litigations, the judgements involved are with respect to the potential exposure of each litigation and the likelihood and/or timing of cash outflows from the company, and requires interpretation of laws and past legal rulings. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
R) Use of Key Accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions in the application of accounting policy that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which it is known/materialised. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgements based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively except as described in note 24(i)(c) regarding reversal of depreciation.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

Note: 36. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, Security Deposits Received, trade and other payables etc. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the company’s operations. The company’s principal financial assets include, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and security deposits that are out of regular business operations. The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks namely credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and other risks. In order to manage the aforementioned risks, the Company operates a risk management policy and a program that performs close monitoring of and responding to each risk factors. The company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument that will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk i.e. interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as commodity risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate relates primarily to the company’s borrowings with floating interest rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The impact of increase of 1 % in rate of interest would have been mitigated majorly by negotiating the interest rate on long term substantial borrowing from the related party.
ii. Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. There does not seem to be any significant risk as transaction in foreign currency are not there.
As there is no significant foreign currency risk, sensitivity analysis showing impact on profit is not calculated.
iii. Commodity price risk
The Prices of the raw material mainly loose ghee keep fluctuating frequently due to volatility in the prices of Raw Milk. and the company tries to pass the same to the customers through appropriate adjustment to selling prices. The major players both on supply chain of loose ghee and market chain of FG are in unorganised sector and at times the company has to pay more for supply and receive less for sales. Company is trying to work on seamless chain of supply and sales at most reasonable prices.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments if a counterparty default on its obligations. The company’s exposure to credit risk arises majorly from trade and other receivables. Other financial assets like security deposits and bank deposits are mostly with government authorities and nationalised banks and hence, the company does not expect any credit risk with respect to these financial assets. In majority of cases of trade receivables are collected in time. The trade receivables are subject to monthly review. Expected Credit Loss is too low considering the past record and management does not foresee any significant change in near future. In view of insignificant credit risk sensitivity analysis showing impact on profit is not calculated
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions. The liquidity position remained under stress due to 8% fall in revenue from operations during the year resulting in negative cash flow from operational activities. The position stood improved by the end of financial year upon disposal of MBD plant. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the company’s financial assets & financial liabilities on the reporting date:
Note: 37. Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as going concern and maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity. For the purpose of the company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders.
The company management/ Board monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital. The company includes within net debt, all non-current and current borrowings reduced by cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financials covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the level of dividend payments to shareholders, return excess capital to shareholders , issue new shares or buy back shares. The capital structure is monitored on the basis of net debt to equity and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company as given below:
In order to achieve this overall objective, the company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing borrowings that define capital structure requirements. The breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing borrowings in the current year.
No significant changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31,2026 and March 31,2025 except that MBD plant was sold during the year and Land & Building at Patiala Plant was revalued during the year.
Note 38. Fair value measurement
(i) All the financial assets and financial liabilities of the company are carried at amortised cost.
(ii) The management assessed that the carrying values of trade and other receivables, deposit, cash and short term deposits, other assets, borrowings, trade and other payables reasonably approximate their fair values because these instruments have short-term maturities.
(iii) It is view of the management that fair value impact of long term security deposits/loan paid or payable would not be material.
40. Corporate social responsibility (CSR)
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company, meeting the applicability threshold, needs to spend at least 2% of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The areas for CSR activities are defined in schedule VII of the Companies Act which inter- alia includes contribution to the Prime Minister National Relief Fund, PM Cares Fund or any other fund set up by the Central Government for socio economic development and relief and welfare of the scheduled castes, the scheduled tribes, other backward classes, minorities and women. A CSR committee has been formed by the company as per the Act. The funds were primarily utilized through the year on these activities which are specified in Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013.
