1.11 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
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 the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised 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 surrou nding the obligation. 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.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost
of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
In case of litigations, provision is recognised once it has been established that the Company has a present obligation based on information available up to the date on which the Company's standalone financial statements are finalised and may in some cases entail seeking expert advice in making the determination on whether there is a present obligation.
Contingent Liabilities
Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Company does not recognised contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
Contingent Assets
Contingent assets are not recognised in the standalone financial statements, but are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
1.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, balances with banks, cheques on hand, remittances in transit and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.13 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker (CODM). The CODM assess the financial performance and position of the Company and makes strategic decisions.
The Company is predominantly engaged in a single reportable segment of 'Financial Services' as per the Ind AS 108 - Segment Reporting.
1.14 Financial Instruments
Classification of financial instruments
The Company classifies its financial assets into the following measurement categories:
1. Financial assets to be measured at amortised cost
2. Financial assets to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
3. Financial assets to be measured at fair value through profit or loss
The classification depends on the contractual terms of the financial assets' cash flows and the Company's business model for managing financial assets which are explained below:
Business model assessment
The Company determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets to achieve its business objective.
The Company's business model is not assessed on an instrument-by-instrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as:
♦ How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the entity's key management personnel.
♦ The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and the way those risks are managed.
♦ How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected).
♦ The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Company's assessment. The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking 'worst case' or 'stress case' scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Company's original expectations, the Company does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward.
The Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test
As a second step of its classification process the Company assesses the contractual terms of financial assets to identify whether they meet the SPPI test.
'Principal' for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortisation of the premium/discount).
In making this assessment, the Company considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement i.e. interest includes only consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the related financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities at amortised costs unless it has designated liabilities at fair value through the profit and loss account or is required to measure liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such as derivative liabilities.
1.14.1 Recognition of Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Loans & advances and all other regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and de-recognised on the trade date basis.
1.14.2 Initial Measurement of Financial Instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Investment in subsidiary is carried at cost as permissible under Ind AS 27, 'Separate Financial Statements'.
(a) Financial Assets
Financial Assets carried at Amortised Cost:
These financial assets comprise Bank Balances, Loans, Trade Receivables, Other Receivables, Investments and Other financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI):
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI, if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):
A financial asset which is not classified as Amortised Cost or FVTOCI is measured at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Any differences between the fair values of financial assets classified as FVTPL and held by the Company on the balance sheet date is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. In cases there is a net gai n i n the aggregate, the same is recognised in "Net gain on fair value changes" under Revenue from Operations and if there is a net loss the same is recognised in "Net loss on fair value changes" under Expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Effective Interest Rate (EIR) Method:
The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability on initial recognition
The EIR for financial assets or financial liability is computed:
a) By considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument in estimating the cash flows.
b) Including fees and transaction costs that are integral part of EIR.
Impairment of Financial Assets:
Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTOCI at each reporting date based on evidence or information that is available without undue cost or effort.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial asset 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 asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial asset at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Also refer Note No. 1.14.6 Overview of the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) principles.
De-recognition of Financial Assets:
The Company de-recognises 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.
On de-recognition of a financial asset accounted under Ind AS 109 in its entirety:
a) For Financial Assets measured at Amortised Cost, the gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) For Financial Assets measured at FVTOCI, the cumulative fair value adjustments
previously taken to reserves are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the asset represents an equity investment in which case the cumulative fair value adjustments previously taken to reserves may be reclassified within equity.
If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for de¬ recognition in its entirety, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset shall be allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is de-recognised, on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer.
I f the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, it recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
I f the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, it continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a liability for the proceeds received.
Modification/revision in estimates of cash flows of financial assets:
When the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or otherwise modified and the renegotiation or modification does not result in the de-recognition of that financial asset in accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset and recognises a modification gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(b) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Classification as debt or equity:
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into 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 the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. 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
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.
Financial Liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading, if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 - "Financial Instruments".
Financial Liabilities measured at Amortised Cost
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method except for those designated in an effective hedging relationship.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the EIR method.
Trade and other payables
A payable is classified as 'trade payable' if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods purchased or services received in the normal course of business. These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantees issued by the Company are those guarantees that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder of the guarantee for a loss incurred by the holder because the specified debtor fails to make a payment, when due, to the holder in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for
transactions costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.14.4 Off-setting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously backed by past practice.
1.14.5 Fair value measurement
Fair value is 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The Principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are as follows:
Level 1 financial instruments: Those where the inputs used in the valuation are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has access to at the measurement date. The Company considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with regards to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available on the balance sheet date.
Level 2 financial instruments: Those where the inputs that are used for valuation and are significant, are derived from directly or indirectly observable market data available over the entire period of the instrument's life. Such inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. In addition, adjustments may be required for the condition or location of the asset or the extent to which it relates to items that are comparable to the valued instrument. However, if such adjustments are based on unobservable inputs which are significant to the entire measurement, the Company will classify the instruments as Level 3.
Level 3 financial instruments: Those that include one or more unobservable input that is significant to the measurement as whole.
1.14.6 Overview of the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) principles
Expected credit loss (ECL) is the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses (i.e., the present value of all cash shortfalls) over the expected life of the financial instrument. A cash shortfall is the difference between scheduled or contractual cash flows and actual expected cash flows. Consequently, ECL subsumes both the amount and timing of payments. It also incorporates available information which is relevant to the assessment, including information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable information about future events and economic conditions at the reporting date.
For portfolio of exposures, ECL is modelled as the product of the probability of default, the loss given default and the exposure at default.
In case of assets identified to be significantly credit- impaired to the extent that default has happened or seems to be a certainty rather than probability, ECL would be determined by directly estimating the receipt of cash flows and timing thereof.
Staging:
The loan portfolio would be classified into three stage-wise buckets - Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 - corresponding to the contracts assessed as performing, under-performing and non-performing, in accordance with the Ind-AS guidelines. The key parameter used for stage-wise classification would be days past due (DPDs).
Stage 1:
All exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or that has low credit risk at the reporting date and that are not credit impaired upon origination are classified under this stage. The Company classifies all standard advances and advances up to 30 days default under this category. Stage 1 loans also include facilities where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2.
Stage 2:
All exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but are not credit impaired are classified under this stage. 30 Days Past Due is considered as significant increase in credit risk.
Stage 3:
All exposures assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred are classified in this stage. For exposures that have become credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised and interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost (net of provision) rather than the gross carrying amount. 90 Days Past Due is considered as default for classifying a financial instrument as credit impaired. If an event (for eg. any natural calamity) warrants a provision higher than as mandated under ECL methodology, the Company may classify the financial asset in Stage 3 accordingly.
Methodology:
The basis of the ECL calculations are outlined below which is intended to be more forward-looking. Key elements of ECL are, as follows:
Probability of Default (PD) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed
period, if the facility has not been previously de¬ recognised and is still in the portfolio.
Exposure at Default (EAD) is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdown's on committed facilities, and accrued interest from missed payments.
Loss Given Default (LGD) is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.
The key tenets of Company's methodology are as under:
Past performance as basis for ECL discovery:
Company's ECL methodology is based on discovery of the relevant parameters - namely EAD, PD and LGD - from the Company's actual performance of past portfolios.
Life Cycle Determination: A significant portion of the advances of the Company is short-term in nature. Based on maturity pattern on the Company's advances in past years, the average life cycle has been considered as 1 year.
The management will continue to monitor the loan cases on an ongoing basis, and have the discretion to make higher provisions on the basis expected recovery of the individual accounts, wherever considered necessary.
1.14.7 Write-offs
The Company reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subjected to write-offs. Any subsequent recoveries against such loans are credited to the Statement of profit and loss.
1.15 Earnings per Share ('EPS')
Basic EPS per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividend, if any, and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
1.16 Material accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with the Ind AS requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosure and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
I n particular, information about material areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
1.16.1 Impairment Charges on loans and advances
The measurement of impairment losses requires judgement, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These are based on the assumptions which are driven by a number of factors resulting in future changes to the impairment allowance.
A collective assessment of impairment takes into account data from the loan portfolio (such as credit quality, nature of assets underlying assets financed, levels of arrears, credit utilisation, loan to collateral ratios etc.), and the concentration of risk and economic data (including levels of unemployment, country risk and performance of different individual groups). These significant assumptions have been applied consistently to all period presented.
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail in Note No. 1.14.6 Overview of the ECL principles.
1.16.2 Business Model Assessment
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the SPPI and the business model test. The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. The Company monitors financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income that are de-recognised prior to their maturity to understand the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the asset was held. Monitoring is part of the Company's continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate whether there has been a change in business model, if so, then it will be a prospective change to the classification of those assets.
1.16.3 Provisions other than Loan Impairment
Provisions are held in respect of a range of future obligations such as employee entitlements, litigation provisions, etc. Some of the provisions involve significant judgement about the likely outcome of various events and estimated future cash flows. The measurement of these provisions involves the exercise of management judgements about the ultimate outcomes of the transactions.
1.16.4 Fair Value Measurement
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using various valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
1.16.5 Defined Employee Benefit Assets and Liabilities
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan/long-term compensated absences and the present value of the gratuity obligation/long-term compensated absences are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future.
These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed annually.
1.16.6 EIR Method
The Company's EIR methodology recognises interest income/expense using a rate of return that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected behavioural life of loans given/taken and recognises the effect of potentially different interest rates at various stages and other characteristics of the product life cycle (including prepayments and penalty interest and charges).
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life¬ cycle of the instruments, as well expected changes to India's base rate and other fee income/expense that are integral parts of the instrument.
1.16.7 Other Estimates
These include contingent liabilities, useful lives of tangible assets etc.
1.17 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company (i.e. INR) at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date and the related foreign currency gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.18 Business Combination under Common Control
Business combination, involving entities or business under Common Control are accounted for in accordance with Appendix C to Ind AS 103 "Business Combination" using the pooling of interest method. Such combinations involve entities or businesses that are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination and where such control is not transitory.
The Company accounts for such Business Combinations using the pooling of interest method as follows:
(i) The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.
(ii) No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognize new assets or liabilities. Adjustments are made only to harmonise Material accounting policies.
(iii) The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior period are restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination.
(iv) The identity of the reserves is preserved and appear in the financial statements of the transferee in same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the transferor.
The difference, if any, between the amounts recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve and is presented separately from other capital reserve with disclosure of its nature and purpose in the notes.

During the previous year ended 31st March, 2025, a Scheme of Amalgamation ("the Scheme") involving merger of Yaduka Financial Services Limited (the "Transferor Company") with and into the Company was approved by the Board of Directors of the respective companies at their meeting held on July 31, 2024. The Appointed Date for the Scheme is October 01, 2024. The Scheme was approved by Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata Bench, vide their order dated November 4, 2025. The certified copy of the said order was received on November 17, 2025 and the same was subsequently intimated to the stock exchange. The Company and the Transferor Company both have filed the certified true copy of the order of the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal sanctioning the Scheme, along with the Scheme itself, with the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal, on November 18, 2025 and accordingly, the Scheme has become effective from the November 18, 2025 ("Effective Date") and consequently the Transferor Company stands amalgamated into the Company and stands dissolved without being wound up. On December 01, 2025, the Company has allotted 65,34,507 fully paid up equity shares of face value ? 10 each, to the eligible shareholders of the Transferor Company as on the record date i.e. November 29, 2025 in the share exchange ratio of 1,445 fully paid-up equity shares of the Company having face value of ? 10 each for every 1,000 fully paid-up equity shares of the Transferor Company having face value of Rs 10 each. The Company in its standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2026 has accounted for the Scheme
f. Refer Note 37 - Capital for the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
using the pooling of interest method as specified by Appendix C 'Business combinations of entities under common control' to Ind AS 103, 'Business Combination'.

34 Disclosure Pursuant To Ind As 19 - Employee Benefits Defined Contribution Plans
The employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the Provident Fund and Employees State Insurance scheme in which both the employee and the Company contribute monthly at a stipulated rate. The Company has recognised an amount of Rs 4.39 lakhs (Previous year: Rs 7.71 lakhs) for the year ended 31st March, 2026 as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan covering all employees. Under the Gratuity plan, every employee is entitled to gratuity as laid down under the Code of Social Security, 2020. Gratuity is payable on death/ retirement/termination and the benefit vests after 5 year of continuous service. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation, carried out by an independent actuary at each Balance Sheet date, using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
Risk Management
The Defined Benefit Plans expose the Company to risk of actuarial deficit arising out of interest rate risk, salary inflation
risk and demographic risk.
(a) Interest Rate Risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(b) Salary Inflation Risk: Higher than expected increase in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
(c) Demographic Risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to long service employee.
The estimate of future salary increase, considered in actuarial valuation, takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employee market.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Sensitivity Analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible change of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. These sensitivities show the hypothetical impact of a change in each of the listed assumptions in isolation. While each of these sensitivities holds all other assumptions constant, in practice such assumptions rarely change in isolation and the asset value changes may offset the impact to some extent. For presenting the sensitivities, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation presented above.
35 Segment Reporting
The Management of the Company has identified segments as defined under Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments". The Company's operating segments are established in the manner consistent with the components of company that are evaluated regularly by the Management.

39 Financial Instruments And Related Disclosures
This section gives an overview of the significance of financial instruments for the Company and provides additional information on balance sheet items that contain financial instruments.
The details of material accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of Financial Asset, Financial Liability and Equity Instrument are disclosed in Note No. 1.14 to the Standalone financial statements.
Below are the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values for the above financial instruments which are not recorded and measured at fair value in the Company's financial statements. These fair values were calculated for disclosure purposes only. The below methodologies and assumptions relate only to the instruments in the above tables.
Loans measured at Amortised Cost
Loans having short-term maturity (less than twelve months) are valued at carrying amounts, which are net of impairment and are considered reasonable approximation of their fair value. Loans having long-term maturity (more than twelve months) are valued using a discounted cash flow model based on observable future cash flows based on term, discounted at the average lending rate of the Company.
Financial Assets (excluding loans) measured at Amortised Cost
Financial assets (excluding loans) generally have assets with short-term maturity (less than twelve months) as on balance sheet date and therefore, the carrying amounts, which are net of impairment, are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
Such instrument majorly include: Cash and Cash Equivalents, other bank balances, Receivables and other financial assets. Borrowing measured at Amortised Cost
The borrowing generally have liabilities with short-term maturity (less than twelve months) as on balance sheet date and therefore, the carrying amounts, are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
Other Financial Liabilities measured at Amortised Cost
Other financial liabilities have liability with short-term maturity (less than twelve months) as on balance sheet date and therefore, the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
C) Fair Value Hierarchy
The following details provide an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below:
Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). It includes fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market and are determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the Company specific estimated. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, then the instrument is included in level 2.
Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (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 investment in unlisted equity instruments carried at FVTPL included in level 3.
The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Valuation technique and Key inputs
(i) Equity Instruments: The listed equity instruments are actively traded on stock exchanges with readily available active prices on a regular basis. Such instruments are classified as Level 1. Unlisted equity instruments are classified as Level 3.
(ii) Investment in Mutual funds, Alternative investment funds and Specialised Investment Fund: Units held in the funds of Mutual funds, AIF and SIF are measured based on their net asset value (NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions. Such instruments are generally Level 2. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of funds and the price at which the issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
(iii) Derivatives financial instruments: Equity linked future and option contracts are measured on the basis of active market price of underlying equity instruments. Such instruments are classified as Level 2.
(iv) Investment in Preference Shares: Investment made in preference share is not actively traded on stock exchange, and such instruments are classified as Level 3.
(v) Equity Shares Measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income: Unquoted equity shares are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of the net worth of the investee company, and are classified as Level 3.
D) Movements in Level 3 Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The following tables show a reconciliation of the opening and closing amounts of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities,
which are recorded at fair value:
40 Financial Risk Management Objectives And Policies
Whilst risk is inherent in the Company's activities, it is managed through an integrated risk management framework including ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the Company's continuing profitability and each individual within the Company is accountable for the risk exposures relating to his or her responsibilities. The Company is mainly exposed to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. It is also subject to various operating and business risks.
The Board of Directors are responsible for the overall risk management approach and for approving the risk management strategies and principles.
The Company has a robust Risk management framework to identify, evaluate business risk and opportunities. This framework seeks to create transparency, minimise adverse impact on the business objectives and enhance the competitive advantage. The framework has a different risk model which helps in identifying risk trends, exposure and potential impact analysis at a company level.
A. Market Risk
The Company's Financial Instruments are exposed to market changes as are summarised below:
(i) Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate sensitivity on fixed and floating rate liabilities. The Company raises funds from financial institutions. In view of the financial nature of assets and liabilities, changes in market interest rates can affect its financial condition. Fluctuations in interest rates can occur due to both internal and external factors. Internal factors include composition of assets and liabilities, maturity profile, pricing of borrowings and fixed and floating nature of assets and liabilities. External factors include macroeconomic developments, competitive pressures, regulatory developments, and global factors.
(ii) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company does not have any exposure to foreign currency. Hence, any fluctuations on account of foreign currency has not arisen.
(iii) Equity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from its investments in equity instruments. Equity price risk is related to the change in market reference price of the investment in equity securities.
B. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company does not have sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall due, or will have to do so at an excessive cost. This risk arises from mismatches in the timing of cash flows which is inherent in all finance driven organisations and can be affected by a range of Company-specific and market-wide events.
C. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss because its customers or counterparties fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Company has established a credit quality review process to provide early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties. The credit quality review process aims to allow the Company to assess the potential loss as a result of the risks to which it is exposed and take corrective actions.
D. Risk concentrations
The principal business of the Company is to provide financing in the form of loans to its clients. Credit Risk is the risk of default of the counterparty to repay its obligations in a timely manner resulting in financial loss. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company has lays down the credit evaluation and approval process in compliance with regulatory guidelines. The Company uses the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Methodology to assess the impairment on financial assets. In case of loan assets, The Probability of Default (pd) and Loss Given Default (LGD) is derived based on historical data on an unsegmented portfolio basis due to limitation of counts in past. The combination of the PD and LGD is applied on the Exposure at Default to compute the ECL, which is further adjusted for forward looking information, if any. In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Company's policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly.
