(p) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
The amount recognised as 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 risk and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent Liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes.
Contingent assets are disclosed where inflow of economic benefit is probable.
(q) Investment in Subsidiaries
The Company has elected to recognize its investments in subsidiaries at cost in accordance with the option available in IND AS 27, ‘ Separate Financial Statement'. The details of such investments are given in Note 7. Impairment policy applicable on such investments is explained in note 2 (d) above.

33S Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life:
The Group has identified its business of Health, Hygiene products and its Services as a single Cash Generating Unit (CGU).
The recoverable amount of the CGU has been calculated based on its value in use, estimated as the present value of projected future cash flows.
The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources. Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount.
Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management's best estimate about future developments.
33L The Company has not traded or invested in Crypto currency or Virtual Currency during the financial year or previous financial year.

Budgeted EBITDA was estimated taking into account past experience, adjusted for future expectations.
The company has performed a sensitivity analysis and has concluded that there are no reasonably possible changes to key assumptions that would cause the carrying amount of a CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

33U Share-based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option or appreciation right, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. For the measurement of the fair value of equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant date, the Company uses a Black Scholes model and Monte-Carlo simulation model basis the type of option granted. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 37.
33V Figures for the previous year are re-arranged/regrouped, wherever necessary, to correspond with the current year disclosure.

Rental expense recorded for short-term leases was ' 597.63 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2025. (Previous Year: ' 509.54 Lakhs)
I nd AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the company's operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, 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 method as applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior year.

40 Financial instruments - Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to market risk , liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects
on the financial performance of the Company , such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge
certain foreign currency risk exposure .
The Company's risk management is carried out by the Treasury team under policies approved by the Finance committee. Treasury team identifies and evaluates financial risks.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, investments and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
The Company held cash and cash equivalents of ' 6,951.06 lakhs at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: ' 5,551.79 lakhs). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank ' 6,946.63 lakhs at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: ' 5,394.01 Lakhs)
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted:
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company's:
i) profit for the year ended March 31, 2025 would decrease/increase by ' 16.16 lakhs (2024: decrease/ increase by ' 13.87 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior year.
(d) Revenue growth along with higher efficiency on working capital improvement has resulted in an improvement in the ratio.
(e) Higher net profit after tax during the current year with higher revenue.
(f) Increase in earnings and reduction in borrowings on account of repayment.
(g) The calculation for above ratios is in accordance with formula prescribed by Guidance note on Schedule III issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants ofIndia.
(h) Capital employed = Tangible Net Worth# Total Debt Deferred Tax Liability.
# In order to derive the tangible net worth, goodwill and other intangible assets have been reduced from the total net worth.
