(n) Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of 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. 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 recognized as a finance cost.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non- occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses it in the standalone financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
(o) Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
(p) Financial Instruments
A. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) arc added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset.
Subscouent measurement
For puiposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
> Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
> Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
> Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
> Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
i. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (debt instruments)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business 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.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. For debt instruments, at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value changes recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to profit or loss.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the balance sheet'at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category includes derivative instruments and listed equity investments which the Company had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI. Dividends on listed equity investments are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the right of payment has been established.
^^
iii. Financial assets designated at fair value through OCJ (equity instruments)
Upon initial recognition, the Company can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under Ind AS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS103 applies are classified as at FVTPL.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement of profit and loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI arc not subject to impairment assessment.
iv. Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
A ‘financial asset’ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flow's that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (El R) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the E1R. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Investment in subsidiary
Investment in subsidiary is carried at cost. Impairment recognized-, if any, is reduced from the cany ing value.
De-recognition of financial asset
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Group’s consolidated balance sheet) when:
a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flow's in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
B. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as payables, as appropriate. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
> Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
> Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrow'ings)
i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
ii. Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest (‘EIR’) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
De-recognition of financial liability
A financial liability is derecognised 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 derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. -
C. Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities
. Ay yJ)\
(<W Bengaluru hi 580 055 Jd
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets.
D. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
E. Fair value of financial instruments
The Company measures its financial instruments such as derivative instruments, etc at fair value at each balance sheet date. 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:
> In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
> In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The fair value of an asset ora 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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are categorized within the fair value • hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
> Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
> Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
> Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
• r*
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
• t
(q) Earnings Per Share
Basic eamings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted eamings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(r) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
For the purpose of the standalone statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
(s) Cash dividend to equity holders of the Company
The Company recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s standalone financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management makes judgment, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the standalone financial statements. The key judgment, estimates and assumptions concerning the future .xjfla-othefckey sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant risk of causing a matepaF’adtetment to the carrying
-"\C> N\ * /oV VO\
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its judgments and assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions used by management arc as below:
Defined benefit plans - Gratuity
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation 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 at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate, in determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates and expected salary increase thereon.
Useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are determined based on evaluation made by the management of the expected usage of the asset, the physical wear and tear and technical or commercial obsolescence of the asset. Due to the judgments involved in such estimates the useful life and residual value are sensitive to the actual usage in future period.
Evaluation ofcontrol, joint control or significant influence by the Company over its investee entity for disclosure
Judgment is involved in determining whether the Company has control over an investee entity by assessing the Company’s exposure/rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and its ability' to affect those returns through its power over the investee entity. The Company considers all facts and circumstances when assessing whether it controls an investee entity and reassess whether it controls an investee entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more elements of control. In assessing whether the Company has joint control over an investee the Company assesses whether decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Further, in assessing whether Company has significant influence over an investee, the Company assesses whether it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not in control or joint control of those policies.
Measurement of financial instruments at amortized cost
Financial instrument are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest (‘EIR’fmethod. The computation of amortized cost is sensitive to the inputs to EIR including effective rate of interest, contractual cash flows and the expected life of the financial instrument. Changes in assumptions about these inputs could affect the reported value of financial instruments.
2.3 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
The Ministry' of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 dated March 31,2023 to amend the following Ind AS which arc effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2023. The Company applied for the first-time these amendments.
(i) Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to Ind AS 8
The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. It has also been clarified how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments had no impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
(ii) Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to Ind AS 1
The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments had an impact on the Company’s disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Company’s standalone financial statements.
(iii) Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - Amendments to Ind AS 12
The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under Ind AS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases.
The Company previously recognised for deferred tax on leases on a net basis. As a result of these amendments, the Company has recognised a separate deferred tax asset in relation to its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability' in relation to its right-of-use assets. Since, these balances qualify for offset as per the requirements of Jnd AS 12, there is no impact in the balance sheet. There was also no impact on the opening retained earnings.
Apart from these, consequential amendments and editorials have been made to other Ind AS to the extent possible like Ind AS 101, Ind AS 102, Ind ^^cSSSSjOnd AS 107, Ind AS 109, Ind AS 115 and Ind AS 34. _____
Reversal oflmnairment Loss
As at April 01,2022 the impairment loss amounted to Rs. 1,100 lakhs, which represented the write-down value of certain property, plant and equipment to its recoverable amount as a result of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic. The recoverable amount of such property, plant and equipment was based on value in use and was determined at the level of the cash generating unit ('CGU') being individual hotel property.
Considering the weakening of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic and the recovery in the Company’s business operations, the Company has updated its business projections taking into account the current conditions and the amended forecasts for the future periods for the purpose of determining the revised recoverable amount of the aforesaid property, plant and equipment as at March 31, 2023. Since the revised recoverable amount exceeds the write-down value of such property, plant and equipment as at March 31,2023, the Company has reversed the impairment loss of Rs. 1,100 lakhs and recognised in the statement of profit and loss as exceptional item during the year ended March 31,2023.
The recoverable amount of the CGU comprising of two hotel properties as at March 31,2023 was Rs. 30,932 lakhs, which was based on value in use and was determined at the level of the CGU. In determining value in use for the CGU, the cash flows were discounted at a rate of 10% on a pre-tax basis.

30 Segment reporting
The Company is engaged in the business of hospitality. The Board of Directors being the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by industry classes. All operating segments operating results are reviewed regularly by CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. CODM believes that these arc governed by same set of risks and returns hence, CODM reviews them as one component. Hence, there are no additional disclosures to be provided under Ind-AS 108 - Segment information with respect to the single reportable segment, other ^ than those already provided in the accompanying standalone financial statements. Further, the Company is domiciled in India and the * Company’s current and non-current assets are located in India. There is no identifiable major customer in the Company who is contributing more than 10% of revenue.
31 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks and ensures that the Company’s financial risk activities arc governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives.
i. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk, a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
ii. ’Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments if a counterparty default on its obligations. The Company’s exposure
to credit risk arises majorly from trade receivables/ unbilled revenue and other financial assets.
*
Other financial assets are bank deposits with banks and hence, the Company does not expect any credit risk with respect to these financial assets.
With respect to other financial assets, the Company has constituted teams to review the receivables on periodic basis and to take necessary mitigations, wherever required. The Company applies the expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment losses on trade receivables and unbilled revenue. The Company follows the simplified approach for recognition of impairment allowance on trade receivables wherein, it recognises impairment allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. At the balance sheet date, there was no significant concentration of credit risk and exposure thereon.
iii. Liquidity Risk
The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings and lease contracts. The Company has assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.
Valuations arc performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary overtime. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit, the most significant of which arc as follows:
Interest Rate risk :The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.
Liquidity Risk : This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short term gratuity pay-outs. This may arise due to non availability of sufficient cash/cash equivalents to meet the liabilities.
Salary Escalation-Risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
Demographic Risk : The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
33 Fair values
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 in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The management assessed that the carrying values of cash and bank balances, trade receivables, trade payables, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values largely due to their short-term maturities.
ii) The management assessed that the carrying values of bank deposits, borrowings and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values based on cash flow discounting using parameters such as interest rates, tenure of instrument, creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project, as applicable.
These financial assets and financial labilities are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs as explained above. There have been no transfers between levels during the year. The investment in equity of subsidiary is measured at cost.
34 Capital management * *
The Company’s objectives of capital management is to maximize the shareholder value. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the return to shareholders, issue/ buyback shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants.
' The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity plus net debt as below.
- Equity includes equity share capital and all other equity components attributable to the equity holders
- Net Debt includes borrowings (non-current and current), trade payables, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents.
. 36 The Company has defined process to take daily back-up of books of account in electronic mode on servers physically located in India. However, the backup of the books of account and other books and papers maintained in electronic mode with respect to individual hotel units of the Company has not been maintained on servers physically located in India on daily basis.
Further, the Company has used accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the accounting software, except that audit trail feature is not enabled for certain changes, if any, made using privileged/ administrative access rights to the SAP S/4 HANA application and the underlying database and in respect of individual hotel units of the Company wherein its accounting software did not have the audit trail feature enabled throughout the year. Further no instance of audit trail feature being tampered with was noted in respect of the accounting software.
Note: The Company has accumulated losses of Rs. 23,715 lakhs (March 31, 2023: Rs. 25,579 lakhs) and total equity of Rs. 11,178 lakhs (March 31, 2023: Rs. 9,314 lakhs).
