note 38 for segment information presented.
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised
deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and
the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
g) Leases
As a lessee:
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is
a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and
low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets
and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives.
They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated
from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the balance lease term of
the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the
country of domicile of the leases. Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset
if the company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset shall be separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments shall be classified as financing
cash flows.
h) Impairment of assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment annually whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value
less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets
(cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
i) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at
call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
j) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method,
less provision for impairment.
k) Inventories
Raw materials and stores, work-in-progress, traded and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
of raw materials and traded goods comprise of cost of purchase. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the later being allocated on the
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
Equity instruments:
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments (other than investment in subsidiary) at fair value. Where the
company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive
income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments
are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the other income. Impairment
losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other
changes in fair value.
iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost
and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk. Note 36 details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when
The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flow from the financial asset or
retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay
cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the
Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement
in the financial asset.
n) Income recognition
Interest income
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a
financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the
contractual terms of the financial instruments.
o) Derivatives
The Company enters into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are
accounted at fair value through profit or loss and are included in profit and loss account.
p) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable
right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal
course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
q) Property, plant and equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less
depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured
The company follows the policy of charging depreciation on pro-rata basis on the assets acquired or disposed off during the year.
Leasehold assets are amortised over the period of lease or useful life whichever is less.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed,
and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains or losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.
r) Intangible assets
(i) Recognition
Intangible assets are recognised only when future economic benefits arising out of the assets flow to the enterprise and are
amortised over their useful life.
(ii) Amortization methods and periods
The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight line method over their estimated useful life not exceeding 5 years.
Software is amortised over a period of three years.
s) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts which are unsecured are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the
reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
t) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as
transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is
Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn
down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and
the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
u) Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is
deducted from the borrowing cost eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowings costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
v) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and returns are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result
of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provisions due to
the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
w) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’ services
up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which
the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value of expected future payments to
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit
method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating
to the terms of the related obligations. Remeasurements as a result of the experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognized in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to
defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected
to occur.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident fund and superannuation fund.
Gratuity obligations
The liability or assets recognized in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated
annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in key assumptions is: All amounts in H lakhs

Salary growth rate 5.00% 5.00% 1% (253.86) (240.24) 1% 222.97 210.75
Attrition rate 3.00% 3.00% 1% (34.57) (23.90) 1% 38.28 26.24
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in each assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice,
this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined
benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated
with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit
liability recognised in the balance sheet.
v) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Interest rate risk:
The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit
obligation will tend to increase.
Salary inflation risk:
Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
Demographic risk:
This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability
and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the
combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial
analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

36. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed to market risk (fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, price and interest rate), liquidity risk and credit
risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Company assesses the unpredictability of the financial
environment and seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

e) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and
the group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them
with the costs they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred
income and are credited to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within
other income.
The benefit of a government loan at below current market rate of interest is treated as a government grant.
f ) Income tax
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the
reporting date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other
comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI
or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable
temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused
tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised
deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and
the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
g) Leases
As a lessee:
The group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee,
except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value
leases, the group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain
lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease
liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.Right-of-use assets are depreciated from
the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the balance lease term of the
underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
Debt instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash
flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured
at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or
impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and
for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for
the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in
profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified
from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in
other income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value
through profit or loss. A gain or loss on debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is
recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income
from these financial assets is included in other income.
Equity instruments:
The group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the group’s management has elected to present
fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair
value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when
the group’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the other income. Impairment
losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other
changes in fair value.
iii) Impairment of financial assets
The group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost
and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk. Note 35 details how the group determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when
The group has transferred the rights to receive cash flow from the financial asset or
retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay
cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the group
retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the
financial asset.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed,
and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains or losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.
q) Intangible assets
(i) Recognition
Intangible assets are recognised only when future economic benefits arising out of the assets flow to the enterprise and are
amortised over their useful life.
(ii) Amortization methods and periods
The group amortizes intangible assets on a straight line method over their estimated useful life not exceeding 5 years. Software
is amortised over a period of three years.”
r) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts which are unsecured are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the
reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
s) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as
transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is
deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn
down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and
the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
t) Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is
deducted from the borrowing cost eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowings costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
u) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and returns are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result
of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provisions due to
the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
v) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’ services
up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
y) Earning per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
The profit attributable to owners of the company
By the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in
equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion
of all dilutive potential equity shares.
z) Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest two decimal places of lakhs as
per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
aa) Standards issued but not yet effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has vide notification dated 23 March 2022 notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2022 which amends certain accounting standards, and are effective 1 April 2022. These amendments are not
expected to have a material impact on the group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Attrition rate 3.00% 3.00% 1% (34.57) (23.90) 1% 38.28 26.24
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in each assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice,
this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined
benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated
with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit
liability recognised in the balance sheet.
v) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Interest rate risk:
The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit
obligation will tend to increase.
Salary inflation risk:
Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
Demographic risk:
This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability
and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the
combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial
analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

35. Financial risk management
The group is exposed to market risk (fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, price and interest rate), liquidity risk and credit
risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The group assesses the unpredictability of the financial
environment and seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group.
(A) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises of currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include
loans and borrowings, trade receivables and trade payables involving foreign currency exposure. The sensitivity analyses in the
following sections relate to the position as at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the
financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021.
(i) Foreign currency exchange rate 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 group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the trade/ other
payables, trade/other receivables . The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar, GBP against the functional currency of
the group. The group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material. The group evaluates the
impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in US dollars and GBP exchange rates, with
all other variables held constant. The impact on the group’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary
assets and liabilities.
(ii) Sensitivity
The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial
instruments and from foreign forward exchange contracts:

Change in GBP

1% decrease (0.72) (0.77) (0.54) (0.58)
The movement in the pre-tax effect is a result of a change in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in US
dollars and GBP, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other than US dollars and GBP.
(iii) 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 change
in market interest rates. The group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the group’s
debt obligations with floating interest rates. As the group has certain debt obligations with floating interest rates, exposure
to the risk of changes in market interest rates are dependent of changes in market interest rates. Management monitors the
movement in interest rate and, wherever possible, reacts to material movements in such rates by restructuring its financing
arrangement.
The assumed increase/decrease in interest rate for sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
(B) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk arising from credit exposure to customers, cash and cash equivalents held with banks and current and non-
current held-to maturity financial assets.
With respect to credit exposure from customers, the group has a procedure in place aiming to minimise collection losses. Credit
Control team assesses the credit quality of the customers, their financial position, past experience in payments and other relevant
factors. Cash and other collaterals are obtained from customers when considered necessary under the circumstances.
The carrying amount of trade receivables, loans, advances, deposits, cash and bank balances, bank deposits and interest receivable
on deposits represents company’s maximum exposure to the credit risk. No other financial asset carry a significant exposure
with respect to the credit risk. Bank deposits and cash balances are placed with reputable banks and deposits are with reputable
government, public bodies and others.
The credit quality of financial assets is satisfactory, taking into account the allowance for credit losses.
The group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management
also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including default risk associate with the industry
and country in which customers operate. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and
individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major receivables. In addition, a large number
of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to
credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The group also holds deposits as security from
certain customers to mitigate credit risk.
i. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances is limited as the group generally invest in deposits with banks
with high credit ratings assigned by external agencies.
ii. Expected credit loss provision created for trade receivable primarily comprise of specific provisions created towards certain
receivables as the group considers the life time credit risk of these financial assets to be very low.
