r) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, 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 the obligation. When the effect of the time value of money is material, the Company determines the level of provision by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed 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 that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
s) Borrowing Cost
Borrowing cost includes interest, Bang Guarantee Charges, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. All borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
t) Earnings per share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with Ind AS 33 on Earnings per share.
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividend and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
(ii) Diluted Earnings per share
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.
u) Insurance Claims
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
v) Rounding off
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest "crores" as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
w) Contributed Equity
Equity shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceed.
x) Dividends
The final dividend on shares is 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. Income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity will be recognized accordingly.
2.2. Key accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires the management to make judgements, 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.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the standalone financial statements.
• Estimation of current tax expense ,recognition of deferred tax assets- Note 30
• Estimation of defined employee benefit obligation - Note 31
• Impairment of investment in foreign subsidiary - Note 6
• Evaluation if an arrangement qualifies as 'lease' under Ind AS 116.
• Fair valuation of share based payments - Note 41
Estimates and judgements are evaluated continually. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit.

The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development.there are no non-compliance with any covenants of borrowings.
a) Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the standalone financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the Ind AS 113.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial assets by valuation technique:
The fair value of financial instruments are classified into three categories i.e. Level 1, 2 or 3 depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
The hierarchies used are as follows:
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded equity securities and mutual funds) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
As the reporting date, there are no financial instruments which are measured at FVTOCI
Further,
i) There are no transfers between levels 1,2 and 3 during the year ended March 31,2025 and for the year ended March 31,2024.
ii) The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the
reporting year.
b) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
• the fair value of the quoted equity instruments is determined using market price listed on stock exchange.
• the fair value of the unquoted mutual fund units is determined using observable NAV representing repurchase price issued by the mutual fund.
• the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk.
c) Valuation Process
The finance department of the Company performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes. This team directly reports to the chief financial officer (CFO). Discussion on valuation processes are help periodically between CFO and the team.
d) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
For financial assets and financial liabilities that have a short-term maturity, the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair value. Such instruments include, cash and bank balances, bank deposits, trade and other receivables, security deposits, loans to employees, other financial assets and trade and other payables. Such amounts have been classified as Level 3 on the basis that no adjustments have been made to the balances in the balance sheet.
For financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

ii) Other financial assets
The Company maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, and other financial assets. Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits are held with only high rated banks/financial institutions only, therefore credit risk is perceived to be low. Further, for debt instruments carried at fair value through profit and loss, the Company has no significant concentration of credit risk.
39.03. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and liquid investments. The Company believes that current cash and bank balances, bank deposits and investments in liquid investments are sufficient to meet liquidity requirements.Moreover, the Company has no external borrowings. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.

39.04. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, volatility of future cash flows and fluctuations in fair value of financial assets.

Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments.
i) Interest rate risk:
