2.14 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities

Based on the best estimate provisions are recognized when there is
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event
and it is probable ("more likely than not") that it is required to settle
the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
the obligation at reporting date.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from a past
event, with the resolution of the contingency dependent on uncertain
future events, or a present obligation where no outflow is probable.
Major contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements
unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is remote.

2.15 Measurement of fair value
a) Financial instruments

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments
is based on market prices and valuation techniques. Valuations
are made with the objective to include relevant factors that
market participants would consider in setting a price, and
to apply accepted economic and financial methodologies
for the pricing of financial instruments. References for less
active markets are carefully reviewed to establish relevant and
comparable data.

b) Marketable and non-marketable equity securities

Fair value for quoted securities is based on quoted market prices
as of the reporting date. Fair value for unquoted securities is
calculated based on commonly accepted valuation techniques
utilizing significant unobservable data. If fair value cannot be
measured reliably unlisted shares are recognized at cost.

2.16 Financial instruments

A Financial Assets

i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets (except trade receivables) are measured
initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except
for those carried at fair value through profit or loss
which are measured initially at fair value. However, trade
receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component are measured at transaction price.

ii) Classifications and Subsequent measurement

The Company classifies its financial assets as
subsequently measured at either amortized cost or fair
value depending on the Company’s business model for
managing the financial assets and the contractual cash
flow characteristics of the financial assets.

a) Financial assets at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost only
if both of the following conditions are met:

- it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows.

- the contractual terms of the financial assets
represent contractual cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
Effective Interest Rate ('EIR’) method. 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 as finance income in the Statement of Profit
& Loss. The losses arising from impairment are
recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

b) Financial assets at fair value through Profit & Loss
(FVTPL)

Financial assets, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, are
classified as at FVTPL.

I n addition, the Company may elect to classify a
Financial assets, which otherwise meets amortized
cost or FVOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However,
such election is allowed only if doing so reduces
or eliminates a measurement or recognition
inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting
mismatch’).

Financial assets included within the FVTPL category
are measured at fair value with all changes recognized
in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

All other Financial Instruments are classified as
measured at FVTPL except investment in equity
instruments of subsidiaries and associates which
are carried at cost less provision for impairment, if
any.

iii) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial
asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company’s
balance sheet) when:

- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired, or

- The Company has transferred its rights to receive
cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full
without material delay to a third party under a 'pass¬
through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company
has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither

transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of
the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive
cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass¬
through arrangement, it 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 recognize
the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s
continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also
recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset
and the associated liability are measured on a basis that
reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has
retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee
over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum
amount of consideration that the Company could be
required to repay.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference
between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying
amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognized)
and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any
new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii)
any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in
OCI is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

v) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the
expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at
amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology
applied depends on whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk.

With regard to trade receivable and loans given, the
Company applies the simplified approach as permitted
by Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognized from the initial
recognition of the trade receivables and loans given.

B Financial liabilities

i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition,
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
amortized cost, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair
value and, in the case of amortized cost, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.

ii) Classifications and subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their
classification, as described below:

Financial Liabilities measured at amortized cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in
profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well
as through the EIR amortization process.

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 as finance costs in the Statement of Profit &
Loss.

iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its
contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or
expired.

2.17 Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is
recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss except to the extent
that it relates to items recognized directly in Equity or in Other
Comprehensive Income.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the
taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax
payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured

using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company:

a) Has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized
amounts; and

b) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent it is probable that taxable
profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not
recognized if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition
of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business
combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that
affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each
balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that
are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or
the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

2.18 Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains)
a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the
inception of the lease. The arrangement is (or contains) a lease if
fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific
asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the
asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an
arrangement.

Company as a lessee

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease,
at inception of the contract. The Company recognizes a right-of-

use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all
lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term
leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less)
and leases of low value assets, wherein, the Company recognizes
the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line
basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from
the leased assets are consumed. Contingent and variable rentals are
recognized as expense in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease Liability

The lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that
rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for
leases in the Company, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is
used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to
borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value as
that of right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with
similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability
comprise:

• Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments)
payable during the lease term and under reasonably certain
extension options, less any lease incentives;

• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease
term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the Balance
Sheet.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the
effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to
reflect the lease payments made.

The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a
corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset)
whenever:

• The lease term has changed or there is a change in the
assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the
lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease
payments using a revised discount rate.

not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the
lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease
payments using a revised discount rate.

Right of Use (ROU) Assets

The ROU assets comprise the initial measurement of the
corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before
the commencement day and any initial direct costs. They are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. Whenever the Company incurs an obligation for
costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on
which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is
recognized and measured under Ind AS 37- Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The costs are included in the
related right-of-use asset.

ROU assets are depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term
or useful life of the underlying asset. If the Company is reasonably
certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is
depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. The depreciation
starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The ROU assets are presented as a separate line in the Balance Sheet
and details of assets are given ROU note under "Notes forming part
of the Financial Statement".

The Company applies Ind AS 36- Impairment of Assets to determine
whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any
identified impairment loss as per its accounting policy on 'property,
plant and equipment’.

As a practical expedient, Ind AS 116 permits lessee not to separate
non-lease components when bifurcation of the payments is not
available between the two components, and instead account
for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single
arrangement. The Company has used this practical expedient.

Extension and termination options are included in many of the
leases. In determining the lease term the management considers
all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option.

2.19 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and
short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or
less.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents is as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings
in current liabilities.

2.20 Government Grants

Government grants are recognized at its fair value, where there
is a reasonable assurance that such grants will be received and
compliance with the conditions attached therewith have been met.
Grants such accured are credited to the statement of profit and loss.

Government grants related to expenditure on property, plant and
equipment are credited to the statement of profit and loss over the useful
lives of qualifying assets or other systematic basis representative of the
pattern of fulfillment of obligations associated with the grant received. "

2.21 Standard issued but not yet effective

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. During
the year ended 31 March, 2025, MCA has not notified any new

the Company.

(ii) Equity shares extinguished on buy-back

period, is set out in note no. 48.

# Company has some subjudice labour dispute matters impact of which cannot be ascertained at this stage.

Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect
of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgments/ decisions pending with various forums/ authorities. However, the Company has
reviewed all its pending litigation and proceeding and has adequately provided for where provision required and disclosed as contingent liabilities
where applicable, in its financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceeding to have a materially adverse effect on
its financial position. The Company does not expects any payment in respect of the above contingent liabilities.

B. Others

In light of judgment of Honorable Supreme Court dated 28 February, 2019 on the definition of "Basic Wages" under the Employees Provident Funds
& Misc. Provisions Act, 1952 and based on Company’s evaluation, there are significant uncertainties and numerous interpretative issues relating to
the judgement and hence, it is unclear as to whether the clarified definition of Basic Wages would be applicable prospectively or retrospectively. The
amount of the obligation therefore cannot be measured with sufficient reliability for past periods and hence has currently been considered to be a
contingent liability.

(ii) The Company, in terms of the Share Subscription cum Shareholders Agreements with subsidiary companies, may contribute funds (loan /
equity) in the proportion of its shareholding for the purpose of meeting repayment obligation to banks, financial institutions or other lenders,
any statutory liability, liabilities towards fuel suppliers or such other similar liabilities, fund requirement for expansion/ diversification, etc. The
Company shall not withdraw the funds so infused, if any, till the money remain due to bank.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plan:

The Company made provision for gratuity as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is
employee's last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. Gratuity
liability is being contributed to the gratuity fund formed by the Company.

The most recent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity were carried out as at 31
March, 2025. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost, was measured using the
Projected Unit Credit Method.

B. Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are:

(a) recognized and measured at fair value and

(b) measured at amortized cost.

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into
the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

II. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

- credit risk;

- liquidity risk; and

- market risk

i. Risk management framework

The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.
The board of directors has established the processes to control risks through defined framework.

The Company’s risk management policy is established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate controls. Risk
management policy is reviewed by the board annually to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

The Company’s Audit Committee oversees compliance with the Company’s risk management policy, and reviews the adequacy of the risk
management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit.
Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the
Audit Committee.

KB FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTD.)

ii. Credit risk

Financial loss to the Company, arising, if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations principally
from the Company’s receivables from customers and investments in debt securities.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company monitor credit risk closely both in domestic
and export market.

Trade and other receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers
the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before
the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Sales credit limit are set up for each customer and reviewed
periodically. The credit risk from loans to other corporate is managed in accordance with the Company’s fund management policy that includes
parameters of safety, liquidity and post tax returns. The Company’s review includes market check, industry feedback, past financials and external
ratings, if they are available, and in some cases bank reference checks are also done.

The Company creates allowances for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The
management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables.

Investments and Cash Deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company’s finance department.

Company invests in Bonds, Debentures, Liquid Mutual Funds, Equity instruments etc., in accordance with the Company’s Investment Policy that
includes parameters of safety, liquidity and post tax returns. Company avoids the concentration of credit risk by spreading them over several
counterparties with good credit rating profile and sound financial position as well as held to maturity policy. The Company’s exposure and
credit ratings of its counterparties are monitored on an ongoing basis. Based on historical experience and credit profiles of counterparties, the
Company does not expect any significant risk of default other than as disclosed.

iii. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may face difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled
by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, sufficient liquidity to
meet its obligations, under both normal and stressed conditions.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash and cash
equivalents on the basis of expected future cash flows.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and
exclude contractual interest payments and the impact of netting agreements.

iv. Market risk

Risk on account of changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates etc. that may affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings
of financial instruments. The objective of market risk is to optimize the return by managing and controlling the market risk exposures within
acceptable parameters.

v. Currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the
Company’s functional currency ('). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with
respect to the USD and small exposure in CNY, EURO & NPR. The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash
flows.The Company has no significant currency exposure.

Exposure to currency risk

The summary quantitative data about the Company’s exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Company is as follows
(Foreign currency in Lakhs).
