j. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

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 a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,
under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when
the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the
Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement. 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, its present value, that reflects the current market assessments of the time
value of money and 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.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed for (1) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly
within the control of the Company or (2) present obligations arising from past events where it is
not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable
estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

The Company has ongoing disputes with Tax Authorities on various matters which are pending
before appellate authorities. In this regard, the management evaluates whether it has any uncertain
tax position requiring adjustments to provision for taxes. Depending on probability of success
in the matter before the Appellate Authorities, a provision is created or a Contingent liability is
disclosed.

Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements as this may result in the recognition
of income that may never be there.

k. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset and financial liabilities
(other than financial asset and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial asset or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on
initial recognition. Transactions costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial asset and
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.

l. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade
date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require
delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market
place.

All recognised financial assets (except trade receivables) are subsequently measured at either
amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive
income, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Financial assets are not reclassified
subsequent to their recognition, except during the period the Company changes its business model
for managing financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised
cost:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order or collect
contractual cash flows; and

b) The contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments that does not meet the above conditions are subsequently measured at fair
value. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both,
selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair
value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). A financial asset not
classified as either amortised cost or Fair Value through OCI, is classified as Fair Value through
Profit or loss.

Effective interest method

The effective interest is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of
allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument,
or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount in initial recognition.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. Interest income is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and is included in the "Other income" Line item.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial
assets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash
or other financial asset.

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of
default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows
that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the
Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest
rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial
assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial
instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life
of that financial instrument.

The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to
the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased
significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased
significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial
instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit
losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls
that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not
cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.

For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash, the Company always measures the
loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables,
the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit
loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit
loss experience with adjusted for forward-looking information.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially
all of the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the
Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it
may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership
of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also
recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss
that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised
in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss on disposal of that financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Company allocates the previous
carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing
involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those
parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the
part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer
recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other
comprehensive income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on disposal of that

financial asset. A cumulative gain or Loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income
is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer
recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.

For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost, the exchange
differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

m. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liability or as
equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a
financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity
after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company is recognised at the
proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in
equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale,
issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.

Financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss, loans, borrowings and trade payables, as appropriate.

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at fair value through
profit or loss are measured at amortised cost at the end of the subsequent accounting period.
The carrying amount of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are
determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part
of costs of an asset is included in the "Finance costs" in the Statement of Profit and loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability
and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the
financial liability, or, (where appropriate), a shorter period, to the net carrying amount at initial
recognition.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised
cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined
based on the amortised cost of the instrument and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial liability when, and only when, the Company's obligations
are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with
substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability
and the recognition of a new liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an
existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability

and the recognition of a new Liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial
Liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss.

n. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to
the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments of the Company.

o. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement comprise cash and cheques in
hand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks where the original maturity is three months or
less and other short term highly liquid investments.

p. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year after tax for the period
attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other
than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares
outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit / loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

q. Claims

Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts are disclosed after a careful evaluation of
the facts and legal aspects of the matter involved.

2.4 Other accounting policies

a. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying
assets, which are assets that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which
they are incurred.

2.5 Recent accounting pronouncements
Standards issued but not yet effective

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.
In May 2025, MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange
Rates, applicable w.e.f. April 1, 2025. The Company has reviewed the amendment and based on its
evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

In August 2025, MCA notified the following amendments to:

1. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, applicable w.e.f April 1, 2025 - The amendment
relates to classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with
covenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it removes the requirement of existence
of a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date and instead requires
that the said right should exist on the reporting date and have substance. The amendment also

introduces guidance on classification of Liabilities with covenants. The Company has no impact of
these amendments in its classification criteria of current and non-current liabilities.

2. Ind AS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, applicable
w.e.f April 1, 2025 - The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires users of financial statements to be informed
of the existence of supplier finance arrangements and explain the nature of the arrangements, the
carrying amount of liabilities and the range of payment due dates. Ind AS 107 has been amended to
add supplier finance arrangements as a factor that may cause concentration of liquidity risk. The
Company, currently, does not have any vendor financing arrangements.

3. Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - IND AS
12 has been amended to apply to income taxes arising from Pillar Two model rules published by
the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and development, including tax law that implements
qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described in those rules. The amendments also provide
a relief from recognising nor disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related
to the above Model. India has not formally enacted Pillar Two legislation into its domestic statute
yet. Further, the tax rate applicable to the Company in India is more than 15 percent hence, the
Company has determined that there is no impact on the financial statements on account of this
amendment.

3 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty3.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, the Directors
of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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 of the revision if it affects both current and
future periods.

3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

a. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

As described at 2.3 (g) above, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values
of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period.

b. Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting
purposes. The Management of the Company determines appropriate valuation techniques and
inputs for fair value measurements.

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data
to the extent it is available. Where level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third
party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The Management works closely with the qualified
external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various
assets and liabilities is disclosed in Note 31.

c. Defined benefit obligation

The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement
of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee benefits’ over the period during which
benefit is derived from the employees’ services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions
selected by the Management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates,
expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in note 24, ‘Employee
benefits expense’.

d. Income taxes

The Company’s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted
profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including
amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions (refer note 27).

e. Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies - As disclosed in Note
14 and Note 36, Management has estimated and measured the likelihood of the litigations and
accounted the provision and contingencies as appropriate.

f. The estimation of the various types of discounts, incentives, promotions and rebate schemes to be
recognised based on sales made during the year (refer note 20).

Notes:

(a) Loans given to employees / key managerial personnel as per the Company’s policy are not considered
for the purposes of disclosure under Section 186 (4) of the Act.

(b) There are no loans or advances in the nature of loans granted to Promoters, Directors, KMPs and their
related parties (as defined under Companies Act, 2013), either severally or jointly with any other person,
that are:

(i) repayable on demand; or

(ii) without specifying any terms or period of repayment

28 Segment information28.1 Products from which reportable segments derive their revenues

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the purposes of resource allocation
and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of goods delivered. The Directors of the
Company have chosen to organise the Company around differences in products. No operating segments
have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Company.

Specifically, the Company's reportable segments under Ind AS 108 - Operating Segments are as follows:

- The grooming segment, produces and sells shaving system and cartridges, blades, toiletries and
components.

- The oral care segment, produces and sells tooth brushes and oral care products.

For the purpose of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

a) All assets are allocated to reportable segments other than loans, other financial assets and income tax
and deferred tax assets. Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the
revenues earned by individual reportable segments; and

b) All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than other financial liabilities, provisions
and current tax liabilities. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in
proportion to the segment cost ratio.

30 Employee benefit plans30.1 Defined contribution plans

The Company operates defined contribution superannuation fund and employees' state insurance plan for
all qualifying employees of the Company. Where employees leave the plan, the contributions payable by
the Company is reduced by the amount of forfeited contributions.

The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed employer's contribution to employees'
state insurance plan and superannuation fund which is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation
of India. The Company is required to contribute a specific percentage of payroll costs to the contribution
schemes to fund the benefit. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the contribution plan is
to make the specified contributions.

The total expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss of ' 39 lakhs (for the nine month period
ended March 31, 2025: ' 39 lakhs) for superannuation fund represent contributions payable to these plans
by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plans. As at March 31, 2026, contributions of ' 2 lakhs
(as at March 31, 2025'4 lakhs) due in respect of 2025-2026 (2024-2025) reporting period had not been
paid over to the plans. The amounts were paid subsequent to the end of the reporting periods.

30.2 Defined benefit plans and other long term employee benefits plan

a) Gratuity Plan (Funded)

The Company sponsors funded defined benefit gratuity plan for all eligible employees of the Company.
The Company’s defined benefit gratuity plan is a salary plan for India employees, which requires
contributions to be made to a separately administered trust, which is administered through trustees
and / or Life Insurance Corporation of India, where one of the group company is also the participant.
The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and Company Policy. Under the act,
employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits
provided depends on the member’s length of service, designation and salary at retirement age.

b) Provident Fund (Funded)

Provident Fund for all permanent employees is administered through a trust. The provident fund is
administered by trustees of an independently constituted common trust recognised by the Income Tax
authorities. Periodic contributions to the fund are charged to revenue. The Company has an obligation
to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investment of the trust and notified
interest rate by the Government. The contribution by employer and employee together with interest
are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under
this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.

c) Post Retirement Medical Benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)

The Company provides certain post-employment medical benefits to employees. Under the scheme,
employees get medical benefits subject to certain limits of amount, periods after retirement and
types of benefits, depending on their grade at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the
Company as part of early separation scheme are also covered under the scheme. The liability for post
retirement medical scheme is based on an independent actuarial valuation.

d) Compensated absences for Plant technicians (Unfunded)

The Company also provides for compensated absences for plant technicians which allows for
encashment of leave on termination / retirement of service or leave with pay subject to certain rules.
The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment /
availment. The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an independent
actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year.

e) Long Service Awards (Unfunded)

Long Service Awards are payable to employees on completion of specified years of service.

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment risk, interest rate risk,
longevity risk and salary risk.

Significant actuarial assumptions in the determination of the defined obligation are discount
rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined
based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of
the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

Gratuity Plan (Funded)

If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would
decrease by ' 362 lakhs (increase by ' 388 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: decrease by ' 387 lakhs
(increase by ' 415 lakhs)).

If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation
would increase by ' 363 lakhs (decrease by ' 344 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: increase by
' 390 lakhs (decrease by ' 369 lakhs)).

Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)

If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (Lower), the other benefit obligation would decrease by ' 37
Lakhs (increase by ' 40 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: decrease by ' 35 lakhs (increase by ' 38 lakhs)).

If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the other benefit obligation would increase by
' 39 lakhs (decrease by ' 36 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: increase by ' 37 lakhs (decrease by ' 34 lakhs)).

Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)

If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by ' 8
lakhs (increase by ' 9 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: decrease by ' 9 lakhs (increase by ' 9 lakhs)).

If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would
increase by ' 8 lakhs (decrease by ' 7 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: increase by ' 8 lakhs (decrease by ' 8
lakhs)).

If the expected life expectancy increases (decreases) by 1 year, the defined benefit obligation would
increase by ' 4 lakhs (decrease by ' 4 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: increase by ' 4 lakhs (decrease by ' 4
lakhs)).

Long Service Awards (Unfunded)

If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the other benefit obligation would decrease by ' 35
lakhs (increase by ' 37 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: decrease by ' 29 lakhs (increase by ' 31 lakhs)).

If the expected gold inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the other benefit obligation
would increase by ' 37 lakhs (decrease by ' 35 lakhs) (as at March 31, 2025: increase by
' 31 lakhs (decrease by ' 29 lakhs)).

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of the defined
benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another
as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation
has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as the end of the reporting period, which is
the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance
sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior
years.

30.3 Provident Fund

The Provident Fund assets and liabilities are managed by "Gillette Employees Provident Fund Trust" in
line with The Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.

The plan guarantees minimum interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The
contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are
payable to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier.
The benefit vests immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. In terms of the guidance
note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India for measurement of provident fund liabilities, the
actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability and based on the assumptions provided
below, there is no shortfall as at March 31, 2026.

The Company's contribution to Provident Fund ' 1 072 Lakhs (Previous Year: ' 769 Lakhs) has been
recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense (refer note
24).

31 Financial instruments31.1 Capital management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concerns while
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. Equity
share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of group's capital management.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company's risk management committee manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in
light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain
or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return
on capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

Assets and Liabilities that are disclosed at Amortised Cost for which Fair values are disclosed are classified
as Level 3

Current financial asset and current financial Liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying
amounts due to their short-term nature. Non current financial assets and non current financial liabilities
have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts as it is based on the net present value of the
anticipated future cash flows.

31.3 Financial risk management objectives

The Company’s overall policy with respect to managing risks associated with financial instruments is to
minimise potential adverse effects of financial performance of the Company. The policies for managing
specific risks are summarised below.

A. Market Risk

(i) Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have interest
bearing borrowings, it is not exposed to risk of changes in market interest rates. The Company has
not used any interest rate derivatives.

(ii) Foreign currency risk management

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures
to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy
parameters.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies stated above.

The following table details impact to profit or loss of the Company by sensitivity analysis of a 10%
increase and decrease in the respective currencies against the functional currency of the Company.
10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible changes in foreign
exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change on foreign currency
rates.

If the relevant foreign currency strengthens/weakens by 10% against the functional currency of the
Company, profit or loss will increase (decrease) by:

(iii) Other price risk management

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes
in market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Company does not have
any investments in equity instruments and bonds.

B. Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company.

Trade Receivables

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company’s customer
base being large and diverse. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of the counterparty’s
financial position as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss arising from defaults. The Company
only grants credit to creditworthy counterparties.

The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group
of counterparties having similar characteristics as disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets include employee loans, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, deposits
with bank etc. Based on historical experience and credit profiles of counterparties, the Company does
not expect any significant risk of default.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for each of the above categories of financial assets is
their carrying values.

C. Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments
associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. The
Company maintains adequate highly liquid assets in the form of cash to ensure necessary liquidity.

31.4 Fair value measurements

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial
statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that
the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or
settled.

43 During FY 2021, National Anti Profiteering Authority (NAA) passed an order alleging that the Company
has profiteered to the tune of ' 5 799 lakhs (excluding interest) and had directed the Company to
deposit the said amount along with interest @ 18% into the Consumer Welfare Funds. The Company
filed an appeal before Hon’ble Delhi High Court against the said order of NAA and the Hon’ble High
Court has passed a ‘status quo’ order in favour of the Company, effectively staying the operation of the
NAA order. The Delhi High Court (DHC) on January 29, 2024 upheld the constitutional validity of Anti¬
profiteering law. The individual cases filed by respective companies continue to be pending and interim
orders passed in respective writ petitions shall continue. DHC will take up each company’s petition
to determine on the aspect of correctness of NAA’s orders in their respective cases. The Company
has filed an appeal against the DHC Order before the Supreme Court (SC), as in our view, DHC has
erred in application of certain key legal principles and lacks appreciation for or has failed to take into
consideration impracticability in implementation of the “proportionate price reduction” as the only
method of passing off benefits of reduced tax. The SC has admitted the appeals and have posted it for
further proceedings.

application, an 'International Freight and Logistics Management' application and an ‘Inventory
