Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
a) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, and 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 obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation, at the balances sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its
present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used,
the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
b) Contingent Liabilities
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising
from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company or a present obligation arising as a result of past event that probably will not
require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be
made.
c) Provision for NPA & Standard Assets
All loans and other credit exposures, where the installments are overdue for a period of six
months or more are classified as NPA. Provision is made in respect of NPA and SA in
accordance with the stipulations of Prudential Norms prescribed in the “Non-Banking
Financial company - Non-systemically Important Non-deposit taking company (Reserve
Bank) Directions, 2016” by the RBI.
Revenue Recognition
a) Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to
the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition
criteria must be fulfilled before revenue is recognized.
b) Interest and other dues are accounted on accrual basis except in the case of non¬
performing loans where it is recognized upon realization, as per the income recognition and
assets classification norms prescribed by the RBI.
c) Income or discounted instruments are recognized over the tenure of the investment on a
straight line method.
d) Dividend is accounted when the right to receive is established.
e) Front end fees on processing of loans are recognized upfront as income.
f) All other fees are recognized when reasonable right to recovery is established, revenue can
be reliably measured as and when they become due.
g) Other revenue is recognized on accrual basis and no significant uncertainty exists as to its
realization or collection.
h) The Company has concluded that the impact of COVID - 19 is not material based on such
evaluation. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Company will continue to monitor
developments to identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in future periods.
Employee Benefits
Short Term Employee Benefits
All Employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as
short term benefits. Such benefits include salaries, wages, bonus, awards, ex-gratia,
performance incentive/pay etc. and the same are recognized in the period in which the
employee renders the related services.
Operating leases
Operating leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership over the leased term are classified as operating leases. Operating lease rentals are
recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis over the
lease term, unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general
inflation to compensate for the lessor in expected inflationary cost increase.
Taxation
Tax expense for the year comprises of Current Tax and Deferred Tax.
a) Current Tax
Current income tax, assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid
to or recovered from the taxation authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961
and the Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) enacted in India by using
tax rates and the tax laws that are enacted at the reporting date.
b) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at
the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred
tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax
asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date
and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will
allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.
Earnings per Share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit of the year attributable to equity
shareholders 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.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than

estimate the fair values:
1. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as trade receivables, cash and
cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and
liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable
approximation of the fair values due to their short-term nature.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the
Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of
the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the
expected losses of these receivables.

risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include
borrowings, security deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and
payables. The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at
March 31, 2024. The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on;
the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the

instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company’s

sheet at March 31, 2024 is the carrying amounts which are given below. Trade
Receivables and other financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable

obligations on time or at reasonable price. The Company’s objective is to at all times
maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The

system. It maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short-term bank
deposits, short term investments and cash credit facility. Processes and policies related
to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s
liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The
Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to
be very low.
