The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The board of directors has established the risk management committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Company, through its training and established procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The nature of the Company's business exposes it to a range of financial risks. These risks include:
(i) credit risk;
(ii) liquidity risk; and
(iii) market risk.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterpart will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at March 31, 2025, the company's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements which will cause a financial loss to the group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties and financial guarantees provided by the company arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheet. a. Cash and bank balance
Credit risk from balances/ fixed deposits banks is managed in accordance with the Company's risk management policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are assigned based on corpus of investable surplus and corpus of the investment avenue. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk on account of deposits with banks is as mentioned below -
(ii) Liquidity risk:
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for management of the company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding bank borrowings. The Company believes that the current working capital is sufficient to meet its current obligatory requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
As on 31 March 2025, the Company had a working capital of ' 4040.20 lakhs (as on 31 March 2024'5,735.03 lakhs) including cash and cash equivalents and other bank balance of ' 2,198.07 lakhs (as on 31 March 2024'5,000.18 lakhs). The working capital of the Company for this purpose has been derived as follows:
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- such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
Market risk comprises of:
a. Interest rate risk
b. Foreign currency risk
Financial instruments affected by market risk include other financial assets, trade receivables and trade payables.
a. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have any financial instrument with variable interest rates, it is not exposed to interest rate risk.
b. Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The foreign currency to which the Company is majorly exposed to are US Dollars, EURO and GBP.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, EURO and GBP exchange rates, with all other variables held constant -

The Company has assessed the counterparty credit risk in connection with Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and earmarked balances with banks amount to Rs. 2,119.40 lakhs as at 31 March 2025 where the Company has assessed the counterparty credit risk.
Trade receivables amounting to Rs. 3,124.08 lakhs as at 31 March 2025 is valued at considering provision for allowance under the expected credit loss method. This assessment is based on the likelihood of the recoveries from the customers in the present situation. The Company closely monitors its customers who are going through financial stress and assesses actions such as change in payment terms, recognition of revenue on collection basis etc., depending on severity of each case.
Basis this assessment, the allowance for doubtful trade receivables is considered adequate.

39. VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT SCHEME
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company had initiated the discussions with the workers for the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). The Board of Directors in their meeting held on February 13, 2024 had approved the Voluntary Retirement Scheme 2023-24 ("Scheme"). The Company had considered a provision of Rs. 321.08 lakhs and disclosed that as an exceptional item in the Financial statements / results. 14 eligible employees opted for the scheme and their dues were paid in April 2024.
The Company has developed a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing legislation under section 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management is of the opinion that its international transactions are at arm's length so that the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.
During the earlier years the Company has applied for Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) before the Central Board of Direct Tax (CBDT) and Government of India for International Inter-company related party transactions with Associated Enterprises (AE). The Company has entered into in APA agreement with CBDT dated 18 August 2021 for 5 years ended 31 March 2021.
The Company has also filed application for renewal of APA agreement for five years (FY 2021-22 to 2025-26) on 26 March 2021 and current tax working for FY 2024-25 is calculated based on the APA agreement signed on 18th August 2021 for 5 years ended 31 March 2021.
The Domestic Transfer Pricing Regulations as prescribed under section 92BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 was introduced from April 1, 2012. The Company has been consistently transacting with related parties on an Arm's Length basis in accordance with the Group Transfer Pricing Policy. The Company is of the opinion that there will be no significant changes to Arm's length price under determination in order to comply with the requirement of section 92BA of Income Tax Act. Hence, there will be no material impact on the financial statements.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company has identified a single cash generating unit ("CGU") based on the business. The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The recoverable value was determined by value in use in cases where there is no basis for making a reliable estimate of the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining the value in use, cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management have been considered.
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 are considered for next 5 years and consider past experience and represent management's best estimate about future developments. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 2% growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testing during the current year is 12%. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation of recoverable amount to a change in key parameters, based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below its carrying amount other than the amount.
42. The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code') relating to employee benefits during employment and post-employment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India. However, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified and the rules are yet to be framed.
