3.7 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event and 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 surrounding the
obligation.
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.
3.8 Financial asset
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and de-recognised on a trade date basis.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value,
depending on the classification of the financial assets.
3.8.1 Financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or
losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit and loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit and loss
incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the 'Other Income / Other
expenses' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company's right to receive
the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the
entity and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.
3.8.2 Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets
measured at amortised cost, lease receivables, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or
other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL.
For trade receivables or any contractual rights to receive cash or another financial assets that results from
transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company always measures their allowances at an
amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivable, the Company
has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed
based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward¬
looking information.
3.8.3 Derecognition of financial assets
The Company de-recognises a financial asset when contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire,
or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to
another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an
associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also
recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
3.9 Financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost or at FVTPL.
3.9.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement
recognised in profit and loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit and loss is included in the ‘Other Income /
Other expenses' line item.
3.9.2 Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held for trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised
cost.
3.9.3 Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged,
cancelled or have expired.
3.10 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Management of the
Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based
on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
4 Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23, 2022, MCA amended
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable from April 1st, 2022, as
below:
Ind AS 103 - Reference to Conceptual Framework
The amendments specify that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. These changes do not significantly change the
requirements of Ind AS 103. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its
financial statements.
Ind AS 16 - Proceeds before intended use
The amendments mainly prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts
received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an
entity will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The Company does not expect the
amendments to have any impact in its recognition of its property, plant and equipment in its financial statements.
Ind AS 37 - Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract
The amendments specify that that the ‘cost of fulfilling' a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the
contract'. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples
would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The
amendment is essentially a clarification and the Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant
impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 109 - Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)
The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 percent' test of Ind AS 109 in
assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any
significant impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 106 - Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)
The amendments remove the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order
to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how
lease incentives were described in that illustration. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any
significant impact in its financial statements.
18A Defined contribution plans
The Company makes contribution towards provident fund to a defined contribution benefit plan for qualifying
employees. Under the plan, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the
contribution plan to fund the benefits. The provident fund plan is operated by the Government administrated
Employee Provident Fund Organisation. Eligible employees receive the benefits from the said Provident Fund.
Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund plan equal to specific
percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company has no obligations other than this to make the specified
contribution.
18B (A) Defined benefit plans
The Company earmarks liability towards Gratuity and provides for payment under Group Gratuity Scheme
administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
(a) Characteristics of defined benefit plan
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (funded). The company's defined benefit gratuity
plan is a final salary plan for employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered
fund. The fund is managed by a trust which is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees are
responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy.
(b) Risks associated with defined benefit plan
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and company is exposed to the Following Risks:
Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G. Sec. Rate will increase the present value of
the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of
the assets liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market
value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future
salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase
the plan's liability.
Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate
which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If
the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a
relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is
invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only,
plan does not have any longevity risk.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the
returns to stakeholders. The company does not have any borrowings from Banks, Financial Institutions etc.

30 Contingent liabilites and contingent assets
Signaificant & Material Order by any Court
Suit No. 01
As a background, the Company had filed an application for setting aside the Ex parte Decree dated 15.06.2012
passed by the Hon'ble High Court of Madras in the matter of Integrated Finance Company Limited (IFCL). The
Hon'ble Court was pleased to set aside the Exparte Decree by an Order dated 04.04.2017 upon condition of
deposit of Rs 30 lakh with the Court, which the Company has complied with. The Company has thereafter filed its
written statement and also filed an application for dismissal of the suit filed by IFCL on the grounds of limitation and
also whether the Suit could be considered as a “Commercial Suit”.
Prior to deciding on the issue of limitation, the Hon'ble High Court of Madras declined to entertain the disputes
between the parties as a “Commercial Suit” as originally argued by IFCL and passed the order in favour of the
Company. Thereafter, IFCL preferred an appeal against the same order in the Appellate Bench of the Hon'ble High
Court of Madras where they lost once again. IFCL thereafter filed an appeal with the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Upon
hearing the matter, the Hon. Supreme Court decided that the matter was a commercial suit and therefore the further
hearing/s could be conducted at The High Court of Madras. Accordingly, the matter is now listed in the High Court
of Madras, waiting for a date of hearing.
Suit No. 02
The Company has also filed a suit for an amount of Rs. 1.93/- cr. together with interest @ 18% against Integrated
Finance Company Limited (IFCL) for loss of profit.
The order passed by the Appellate Bench of High Court of Madras in their judgement against the appeal filed by
IFCL (as stated above in the second para of Suit No. 01) further stated that since the matter mentioned in Suit No.
02 (the Suit filed by the Company) is interconnected with Suit No. 01 (the Suit filed by IFCL), the suits should by
heard jointly, as “civil suits”.
31 Previous year's figures have been regrouped / reclassified, to correspond with the current year's classification /
