l. Provisions
Provisions are recognised 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 the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
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. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and
loss net of any reimbursement.
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.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered
from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will
be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
m. Retirement and other employee benefits
Defined benefit plan
In accordance with applicable laws in India, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit
retirement plan (“the Gratuity Plan") for every employee who has completed 5 years or more of service
on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The Gratuity Plan
provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination
of employment based on last drawn salary and tenure of employment with the Company.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation on the reporting date
using projected unit credit method.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
• The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The
Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the
statement of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments
and non-routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the
balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in
which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or Loss in subsequent periods.
Defined contribution plan
The Company makes contributions to the Provident Fund scheme, a defined contribution benefit scheme.
These contributions are deposited with Government administered fund and recognised as an expense
in the period in which the related service is performed. There is no further obligation on the Company on
this defined contribution plan.
Compensated absences
Accumulated leave, is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, and are treated as short-term
employee benefit. The Company treats the entire leave as current liability in the balance sheet, since it
does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. It is
measured on the basis of an actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary on the projected unit
credit method at the end of each financial year.
n. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short¬
term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral
part of the Company's cash management.
o. Contingencies
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 recognised because:
(i) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; or
(ii) The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are recognised when virtually certain on the balance sheet of the Company, except
for contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present obligations arising from past
events and which the fair values can be reliably determined.
p. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent using the weighted-average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic
earnings per share and weighted average number of dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the
period, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive potential shares are deemed converted
at the beginning of the period, unless issued at later date.
Ordinary shares that will be issued upon the conversion of mandatorily convertible instruments are
included in the calculation of basic earnings per share from the date the contract is entered into.
q. Fair value measurement
The fair value of the financial instruments is included at the price 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. Management of the Company have assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, trade receivables (not subject to provisional pricing), trade payables, bank overdrafts and
other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of
these instruments.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial
instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are
observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not
based on observable market data.
There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the reporting period.
r. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision maker being Managing Director. The Managing Director assesses the financial
performance and position of the Company as a whole, and makes strategic decisions.
s. Cash Flow
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / loss before tax for the period is
adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future
operating cash receipts or payments. Cash Flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the
Company are segregated. Cash and Cash Equivalents for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement comprise
of cash at bank, cash in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less,
as reduced by bank overdrafts
2.4 Recent Accounting and Other Pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.
a. New Standards/Amendments notified and adopted by the Company:
During the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA had notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments
to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f.
April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has
determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
b. New Standards/Amendments notified but not yet effective:
On May 7th, 2025, MCA has notified amendment to Ind AS 21 on determining when a currency is non¬
exchangeable and require estimation of the spot exchange rate using observable market-based inputs
applicable from May 7th 2025.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the above amendment which is not expected
to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
2.5 Critical Accounting Judgements and key sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets,
Liabilities, income and expenses, and accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent Liabilities.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the
period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision
and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key accounting judgements, assumptions and estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:
1. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is measured at cost and tested for impairment annually. For impairment testing,
management determines recoverable amount, using cash flow projections which take into account past
experience and represent management's best estimate about future developments. Key assumptions
on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include the latest financial
position and results of the subsidiaries.
2. Employee related provision
The costs of long term and short term employee benefits are estimated using assumptions by the
management. These assumptions include rate of increase in compensation levels, discount rates,
expected rate of return on assets and attrition rates.
3. Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Intangible Assets
The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by the management at the time
the asset is acquired. These estimates are reviewed annually by the management. The lives are based on
historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their
life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in
production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.
4. Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS
116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in
assessing the applicable discount rate. Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the
non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of
such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on
a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend
or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors
such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the
termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to operations taking into account
the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future
periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. The
discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated
or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
5. Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as result of
a past event and it is probable that the outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in
respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. All provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date
and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. The Company uses significant judgements to assess
contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed 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 a present obligation
that arises from past event where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be utilised to
settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither
recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
43 Segment Reporting :

B) Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
a. credit risk ;
b. Liquidity risk ; and
c. market risk
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 Company manages market risk through a finance department, which evaluates
and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The finance department
recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Board of Directors. The activities
of this department include management of cash resources, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with
market risk Limits and poLicies.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company,
to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies
and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The
Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and
constructive control environment.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management
policies and procedures, 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.
a. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers
and investment securities. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure.
T rade receivables
The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors
such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. To
manage credit risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of the customer, taking into
account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of
accounts receivables. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored to make an assessment of
recoverability. Receivables are provided as doubtful / written off, when there is no reasonable expectation
of recovery. Where receivables have been provided / written off, the Company continues regular follow up,
engage with the customers, Legal options / any other remedies available with the objective of recovering
these outstandings. The Company is not exposed to concentration of credit risk to any one single customer
since services are provided to vast spectrum. The Company also takes security deposits, advances , post
dated cheques etc from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.
Investments in companies
The Company has made investments in subsidiary. The Company does not perceive any credit risk pertaining
to investments made in such related entities.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company held cash and cash equivalents with credit worthy banks of ' 59.52 Millions as at 31 March, 2025
and ' 1693.68 Millions as at 31 March, 2024. The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is
evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good.
Exposure to credit risk
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and other receivables during the year was
as follows.
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter 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
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when
they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Company's reputation.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities at the balance sheet
date based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.
c. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other
price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include
borrowings and bank deposits. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk:
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to fixed deposits and borrowings
from banks.
The interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management
of the Company is as follows:
The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest
rate risk as defined in IND AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate
because of a change in market interest rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that
portion of 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 assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently
observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operating and investing activities. The functional
currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Foreign currency exposure are mainly denominated in USD. The
USD exchange rate has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially
in the future. The Company's business model incorporates assumptions on currency risks and ensures any
exposure is covered through the normal business operations. This intent has been achieved in all years
presented. The Company has put in place a Financial Risk Management Policy to Identify the most effective
and efficient ways of managing the currency risks.
