# Fair value of financial assets and liabilities which are measured at amortized cost is not materially different from the carrying value (i.e. amortized cost). Accordingly, the fair value has not been disclosed separately.
Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Assets and Liabilities:
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instrument measured using quoted price such as quoted price for equity security on security exchange.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
C. Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below:
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. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Ratings of customers are periodically monitored. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days receivables which are past due and the rates derived based on past history of defaults in the provision matrix.
Other financial assets - investments, cash, loans and security deposits and other bank balances
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from nonperformance by these counterparties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors. Further, the Company maintains its Cash and cash equivalents and Bank deposits with banks / financial institutions having good reputation, good past track record and high quality credit rating and also reviews their credit-worthiness on an on-going basis.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. Also, the Company has unutilized credit limits with banks.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The table below provides details regarding the undiscounted contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at reporting date. The amounts are gross / undiscounted values and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company's exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses (primarily in U.S. Dollars). A significant portion of the Company's revenues are in these foreign currencies, while a significant portion of its costs are in Indian Rupees. As a result, if the value of the Indian Rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company's revenues measured in Rupees may decrease. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and these foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. The following table presents foreign currency risk from non-derivative financial instruments as on reporting dates:
There are no forward contracts outstanding as on reporting date.
The Company is mainly exposed to changes in USD. The below table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 5% increase or decrease in the USD against INR, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 5% represents management's assessment of reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rate.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
Sensitivity analysis
Profit or loss is sensitive to higher/lower interest expense from borrowings as a result of change in interest rates. Since no interest rate exposure is perceived on fixed rate loans, the same have been excluded from the sensitivity analysis. A reasonably possible change of 50 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) Equity and Profit or Loss by the amount shown below:
Price Risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company has adopted disciplined practices including position sizing, diversification, valuation, loss prevention, due diligence, and exit strategies in order to mitigate losses. The Company is exposed price risk arising from investments in mutual funds recognised at FVTPL. The details of such investment are given under note 4. If the prices had been higher/lower by 5% from the market prices existing as at reporting dates, profit would increase/decrease by ? 12.58 lakhs (F.Y. 2022-23 ? 9.11 Lakhs and 2021-22 ? 9.16 Lakhs) for the year ended 31st March 2024 respectively.

NOTE 29S ENT REPORTING
The Company is engaged in the business of providing IT services. The Board of Directors of the Company allocate the resources and assess the performance of the Company, thus BOD are the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODMJ. The CODM monitors the operating results of the business as single operating s ent, hence no separate s ent needs to be disclosed. In the year ended March 31, 2024, 98.7% of the Company's revenue was generated from services provided to a single customer.

A description of methods used for sensitivity analysis and its Limitations:
Sensitivity analysis is performed by varying a single parameter while keeping all the other parameters unchanged. Sensitivity analysis fails to focus on the interrelationships between underlying parameters. Hence, the results may vary if two or more variables are changed simultaneously. The method used does not indicate anything about the likelihood of change in any parameter and the extent of the change, if any.
As our defined benefit obligation encompasses gratuity, it is imperative to acknowledge and address the associated risks.
These risks are delineated below for comprehensive understanding.
A. Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cashflow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B. Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the intervaluation period.
C. Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the Company there can be strain on the cashflows.
D. Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.

Note 33
Transition To Indian Accounting Standards
These are the Company's first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The accounting policies set out in Note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2023 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1st April, 2022 (the Company's date of transition).
In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (Indian GAAP or previous GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables and notes:
Ind AS 101- First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, allows first-time adopters, exemptions from the retrospective application and exemption from application of certain requirements of other Ind AS. The Company has availed the following exemptions as per Ind AS 101: OptionalExemptions
(a) Deemed cost for Property and Plant and Equipment / Intangible Assets
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment / Intangible Assets as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
Accordingly, the Company has opted to measure all of its property, plant and equipment / Intangible Assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.
MandatoryExceptions
(a) Estimates
An entity's estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for same date in accordance with Previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies) unless the there is an objective evidence that those estimates were in error.
The Company has not made any changes to estimates made in accordance with Previous GAAP.
(b) Ind AS 109-Financial Instruments (Derecognition of previously recognized Financial
Assets/Financial Liabilities)
An entity shall apply the derecognition requirements in Ind AS 109 prospectively for the transactions occurring on or after date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has no Derecognition of previously recognized Financial Assets/ Financial Liabilities and it has applied the derecognition requirements prospectively.
(c) Ind AS 109 "Financial instruments" (Classification and Measurement of Financial
Assets/Financial Liabilities)
Classification and measurement of Financial Instruments shall be made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has evaluated the facts and circumstances existing on the date of transition to Ind AS for the purpose of classification and measurement of Financial instruments and accordingly has classified and measured financial instruments on the date of transition.
(d) Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" (Impairment of Financial Assets): Impairment requirements under Ind AS 109 should be applied retrospectively based on reasonable and supportable information that is available on the date of transition without undue cost or effort. The Company has not recognised any impairment of financial asset during the year.
2. Adjustments to Statement of Cash flow
The Ind AS adjustments are either non cash adjustments or are regrouping among the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Consequently, Ind AS adoption has no impact on the net cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2022 as compared with the previous GAAP.
3. Notes to Reconciliationa) Remeasurement cost of net defined liability
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, remeasurement benefit of defined plans (gratuity), arising primarily due to change in actuarial assumptions was recognised as employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, such remeasurement benefits relating to defined benefit plans is recognised in OCI as per the requirements of Ind AS 19- Employee benefits. Consequently, the related tax effect of the same has also been recognised in OCI.
b) Deferred Tax
In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, deferred tax was accounted as per the income statement approach which required creation of deferred tax asset/liability on temporary differences between taxable profit and accounting profit. Under Ind AS, deferred tax is accounted as per the Balance Sheet approach which requires creation of deferred tax asset/liability on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset/liability in the Balance Sheet and its corresponding tax base. The application of Ind AS has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which were not required to be recognised under Previous GAAP.
c) Fair valuation in Mutual Funds
Ind AS 109 requires investments in Mutual Fund to be designated as fair value through profit and loss and the same are fair valued as at every reporting date with fair value movements recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Note 34
