1.16. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is created when there is a 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. 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. Contingent assets are neither
recognised nor disclosed 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.
1.17. Contingencies
Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating to claims, litigation, assessment, fines,
penalties, etc. are recognised when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the
amount can be estimated reliably.
1.18. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash deposits with banks. The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with an original maturity at a date of purchase of three months or
less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
1.19. Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net profit/loss before tax is adjusted
for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future
operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing
or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the
Company are segregated.

29. Employee benefits
Defined benefit plan
In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the company provides for gratuity, as
defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to the employees at
the time of separation from the service on completion of vested year of employment i.e five
years. The liability of gratuity plan is provided based on actuarial valuation at the end of the
financial year.
Gratuity: The Present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the
Projected Unit Credit Method. This method considers each period of service as giving rise to
an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the
final obligation.
Interest Cost: It is the increase in the Plan liability over the accounting period resulting from
the operation of the actuarial assumption of the interest rate.
Service Cost: This is the discounted present value of benefits attributed by the plan benefit
formula to service rendered by employees during the accounting period. It is measured using
an assumption as to future pay levels.
Actuarial Gain or Loss: It occurs when the experience of the Plan differs from that anticipated
from the actuarial assumptions. It could also occur due to changes made in the actuarial
assumptions.
The obligation for defined benefit plan remains with the company.
(i) The changes in the present value of defined benefits obligations representing
reconciliation of opening and closing balances thereof are as follows:
(v!) Principal Actuarial assumptions as at Balance Sheet date are as follow:
(a) Economic Assumptions: The principal assumptions are the discount rate &
salary growth rate. The discount rate is generally based upon the market
yields available on Government bonds at the accounting date relevant to
currency of benefit payments for a term that matches the liabilities. Salary
growth rate is company's long term best estimate as to salary increases &
takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion, business plan, HR policy
and other relevant factors on long term basis as provided in relevant
accounting standard. These valuation assumptions are as follows & have
been received as input from you.
The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account
inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the
employment market. The above information is certified by the actuary.
*AII figures related to previous financial years are accounted during current financial year, as no
actuarial valuation for employee benefit was done for the previous financial years.
# During the current financial year, the company recognized a gratuity liability that was not previously
accounted for in the prior financial year. The amount of the liability as of 3111 March 2025 is 20.02
Lakhs which has resulted in an adjustment to the current year's profit and loss. This adjustment also
affects the retained earnings balance, which has been updated as of 31st March 2025. The company
has determined that the prior year financial statements were not impacted significantly, and no
restatement of the prior period figures is required. Gratuity provision is made for the first time based
on the certified actuary.

that the risk and returns of the Company is primarily determined by the nature of products and
services. Consequently, the geographical segment has been considered as a secondary segment. The

returns, internal organisation and management structure and the internal performance reporting

38. Transfer Pricing
As per the transfer pricing norms applicable in India, the Company is required to use certain specified
methods in computing arm's length price of transactions between the associated enterprises and
maintain prescribed information and documents related to such transactions. The appropriate method
to be adopted will depend on the nature of the transactions/class of transactions, class of associated
persons, functions performed and other factors, which have been prescribed. The Company is in the
process of updating the transfer pricing study for the current financial year. However, in the opinion of
the management the same would not have a material impact on these standalone financial
