A provision is recognized if, as a result of a pastevent, the Company has a present obligation thatcan be estimated reliably, and it is probable thatan outflow of economic benefits will be requiredto settle the legal or contractual obligation.Provisions are determined by discounting theexpected future cash flows (representing thebest estimate of the expenditure required tosettle the present obligation at the StandaloneBalance Sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time valueof money and the risks specific to the liability.The unwinding of the discount is recognised asfinance cost. Expected future operating lossesare not provided for.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there isa possible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company or a present obligationthat arises from past events where it is eithernot probable that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle or a reliable estimate of theamount cannot be made.
Revenue from contracts with customers isrecognised when control of the goods orservices are transferred to the customer, at anamount that reflects the consideration to whichthe Company expects to be entitled in exchangefor those goods or services. The Company hasgenerally concluded that it is the principal inits revenue arrangements because it typicallycontrols the goods or services before transferringthem to the customer.
a) Revenue from the sale of product isrecognized upfront at the point in time whenthe product is delivered to the customer.Revenue is measured based on thetransaction price, which is the consideration,adjusted for volume discounts, priceconcessions and incentives, if any, asspecified in the contract with the customer.Revenue also excludes taxes collectedfrom customers.
b) Revenue from services is recognized inaccordance with the terms of contract whenthe services are rendered and the relatedcosts are incurred and the balance amountis recognised as deferred revenue.
c) Revenue from membership fees isrecognised over the period of membership.
A receivable represents the Company's right toan amount of consideration that is unconditional(i.e., only the passage of time is requiredbefore payment of the consideration is due).Refer to accounting policies of financial assetsin financial instrument - initial recognition andsubsequent measurement.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfergoods or services to a customer for whichthe Company has received consideration (oran amount of consideration is due) from thecustomer. If a customer pays considerationbefore the Company transfers goods or servicesto the customer, a contract liability is recognised
when the payment is made or the payment isdue (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilitiesare recognised as revenue when the Companyperforms under the contract.
Government grants are recognised initially asdeferred income at fair value when there isreasonable assurance that they will be receivedand the Company will comply with the conditionsassociated with the grant; they are thenrecognised in profit or loss as other operatingrevenue on a systematic basis. Grants related tothe acquisition of assets are recognised in profitor loss as other income on a systematic basisover the useful life of the asset.
Grants that compensate the Company forexpenses incurred are recognised in profit orloss as other operating revenue on a systematicbasis in the periods in which such expensesare recognised.
The Company's obligation towards variousemployee benefits has been recognised as follows:
Short-term employee benefit obligations aremeasured on an undiscounted basis and areexpensed as the related service is provided.A liability is recognised for the amount expectedto be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, ifthe Company has a present legal or constructiveobligation to pay this amount as a result of pastservice provided by the employee, and theamount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
The grant date fair value of equity settledshare-based payment awards granted toemployees is recognised as an employeeexpense, with a corresponding increase inequity, over the period that the employeesunconditionally become entitled to the awards.The amount recognised as expense is basedon the estimate of the number of awards forwhich the related service and nonmarket vestingconditions are expected to be met, such that theamount ultimately recognised as an expense isbased on the number of awards that do meet
the related service and non-market vestingconditions at the vesting date. For share-basedpayment awards with non-vesting conditions, thegrant date fair value of the share-based paymentis measured to reflect such conditions and thereis no true-up for differences between expectedand actual outcomes. If the entity elects to settlein cash, the cash payment shall be accounted foras the repurchase of an equity interest, i.e. as adeduction from equity
A defined contribution plan is a post-employmentbenefit plan under which an entity pays fixedcontributions into a separate entity and will haveno legal or constructive obligation to pay furtheramounts. The Company makes specified monthlycontributions towards Government administeredprovident fund scheme. Obligations forcontributions to defined contribution plans arerecognised as an employee benefit expensein profit or loss in the periods during which therelated services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an assetto the extent that a cash refund or a reduction infuture payments is available.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employmentbenefit plan other than a defined contributionplan. The Company's net obligation in respectof defined benefit plans is calculated separatelyfor each plan by estimating the amount of futurebenefit that employees have earned in the currentand prior periods, discounting that amount anddeducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation isperformed annually by a qualified actuary usingthe projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefitliability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses,the return on plan assets (excluding interest) andthe effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excludinginterest), are recognised in OCI. The Companydetermines the net interest expense (income)on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for theperiod by applying the discount rate used tomeasure the defined benefit obligation at thebeginning of the annual period to the then-net
defined benefit liability (asset), taking intoaccount any changes in the net defined benefitliability (asset) during the period as a result ofcontributions and benefit payments. Net interestexpense and other expenses related to definedbenefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed orwhen a plan is curtailed, the resulting change inbenefit that relates to past service (‘past servicecost' or ‘past service gain') or the gain or loss oncurtailment is recognised immediately in profit orloss. The Company recognises gains and losseson the settlement of a defined benefit plan whenthe settlement occurs.
The group treats accumulated leave expectedto be carried forward beyond twelve months, aslong-term employee benefit for measurementpurposes. Such long-term compensatedabsences are provided for based on the actuarialvaluation using the projected unit credit methodat the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses areimmediately taken to the Standalone Statementof Profit and Loss and are not deferred.The obligations are presented as current
liabilities in the Standalone Balance Sheet if theentity does not have an unconditional right todefer the settlement for at least twelve monthsafter the reporting date.
The Company's net obligation in respect
of long-term employee benefits other thanpost-employment benefits is the amount offuture benefit that employees have earned inreturn for their service in the current and priorperiods; that benefit is discounted to determineits present value, and the fair value of any relatedassets is deducted. The obligation is measuredon the basis of an annual independent actuarialvaluation using the projected unit credit method.Remeasurements gains or losses are recognisedin profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
vi. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlierof when the Company can no longer withdrawthe offer of those benefits and when theCompany recognizes costs for a restructuring.If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months of the reporting date, then theyare discounted.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translatedinto the functional currencies of Company at theexchange rates at the dates of the transactions oran average rate if the average rate approximatesthe actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominatedin foreign currencies are translated into thefunctional currency at the exchange rate atthe reporting date. Non-monetary assets andliabilities that are measured at fair value in aforeign currency are translated into the functionalcurrency at the exchange rate when the fairvalue was determined. Non-monetary assets andliabilities that are measured based on historicalcost in a foreign currency are translated at theexchange rate at the date of the transaction.Exchange differences are recognised inprofit or loss.
The company assesses at contract inceptionwhether a contract is, or contains a, lease. That isif the contract conveys the right to control theuse of an identified asset for a period of time inexchange of consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition andmeasurement approach for all leases, exceptfor short-term leases and leases of low-valueassets. The Company recognises leaseliabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use theunderlying assets.
The Company recognises right-of-use assetsat the commencement date of the lease (i.e.,the date the underlying asset is availablefor use). Right-of-use assets are measuredat cost, less any accumulated depreciationand impairment losses, and adjusted for anyre-measurement of lease liabilities. The costof right-of-use assets includes the amountof lease liabilities recognised, initial direct
costs incurred, and lease payments made ator before the commencement date less anylease incentives received. Right-of-use assetsare depreciated on a straight-line basisover the shorter of the lease term and theestimated useful lives of the assets.
At the commencement date of the lease,the company recognizes lease liabilitiesmeasured at the present value of the leasepayment to be made over the lease term.The lease payments include fixed payments(including in substance fixed payments) lessany lease incentives receivable, variablelease payments that depend on an indexor a rate, and amounts expected to be paidunder residual value guarantees. The leasepayments also include the exercise price ofa purchase option reasonably certain to beexercised by the Company and paymentsof penalties for terminating the lease, if thelease term reflects the Company exercisingthe option to terminate. Variable leasepayments that do not depend on an indexor a rate are recognised as expenses (unlessthey are incurred to produce inventories) inthe period in which the event or conditionthat triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of leasepayments, the Company uses its incrementalborrowing rate at the lease commencementdate because the interest rate implicit in thelease is not readily determinable. After thecommencement date, the amount of leaseliabilities is increased to reflect the accretionof interest and reduced for the leasepayments made. In addition, the carryingamount of lease liabilities is remeasured ifthere is a modification, a change in the leaseterm, a change in the lease payments (e.g.,changes to future payments resulting from achange in an index or rate used to determinesuch lease payments) or a change in theassessment of an option to purchase theunderlying asset
The Company applies the short-term leaserecognition exemption to its short-term
leases (i.e., those leases that have a leaseterm of 12 months or less from thecommencement date and do not containa purchase option). It also applies the leaseof low value assets recognition exemptionto leases of assets that are considered to below value. Lease payments on short-termleases and leases of low value assets arerecognised as expense on a straight-linebasis over the lease term.
At inception or on modification of a contractthat contains a lease component, the Companyallocates the consideration in the contract toeach lease component on the basis of theirrelative stand-alone prices.
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determinesat lease inception whether each lease is a financelease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Company makes anoverall assessment of whether the lease transferssubstantially all of the risks and rewards incidentalto ownership of the underlying asset. If this is thecase, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, thenit is an operating lease. As part of this assessment,the Company considers certain indicators suchas whether the lease is for a major part of theeconomic life of the asset.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, itaccounts for its interests in the head lease andthe sub-lease separately. It assesses the leaseclassification of a sub-lease with reference to theright-of-use asset arising from the head lease, notwith reference to the underlying asset. If a headlease is a short-term lease to which the Companyapplies the exemption described above, then itclassifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-leasecomponents, then the Company applies Ind AS115 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
The Company applies the derecognition andimpairment requirements in Ind AS 109 to thenet investment in the lease. The Company furtherregularly reviews estimated unguaranteedresidual values used in calculating the grossinvestment in the lease.
The Company recognised lease paymentsreceived under operating leases as income on astraight-line basis over the lease term as part of‘other income'.
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax.It is recognised in profit or loss except to theextent that it relates to an item recognised directlyin equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payableor receivable on the taxable income or loss forthe year and any adjustment to the tax payableor receivable in respect of previous years.The amount of current tax reflects the bestestimate of the tax amount expected to be paidor received after considering the uncertainty, ifany, related to income taxes. It is measured usingtax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantivelyenacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities areoffset only if there is a legally enforceable right toset off the recognised amounts, and it is intendedto realise the asset and settle the liability on a netbasis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect oftemporary differences between the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities for financialreporting purposes and the correspondingamounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxis also recognised in respect of carried forwardtax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is
not recognised for
• temporary differences arising on the
initial recognition of assets or liabilities in atransaction that
o at the time of transaction that neitheraffects neither accounting nor taxableprofit or loss and does not give riseto equal taxable and deductibletemporary differences.
o temporary differences related toinvestments in subsidiaries to theextent that the Company is able tocontrol the timing of the reversal ofthe temporary differences and it isprobable that they will not reverse in theforeseeable future; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extentthat it is probable that future taxable profits willbe available against which they can be used.The existence of unused tax losses is an evidencethat future taxable profit may not be available.Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, theCompany recognises a deferred tax asset only tothe extent that it has sufficient taxable temporarydifferences or there is convincing other evidencethat sufficient taxable profit will be availableagainst which such deferred tax asset can berealised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised orrecognised, are reviewed at each reporting dateand are recognised/ reduced to the extent that itis probable/ no longer probable respectively thatthe related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that areexpected to apply to the period when the assetis realised or the liability is settled, based on thelaws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects thetax consequences that would follow from themanner in which the Company expects, at thereporting date, to recover or settle the carryingamount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if thereis a legally enforceable right to offset current taxliabilities and assets, and they relate to incometaxes levied by the same tax authority on thesame taxable entity, or on different tax entities,but they intend to settle current tax liabilitiesand assets on a net basis or their tax assets andliabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Dividend income is recognised in profit or losson the date on which the Company's right toreceive payment is established. Interest incomeor expense is recognised using the effectiveinterest method.
The ‘effective interest rate' is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash paymentsor receipts through the expected life of thefinancial instrument to:
• the gross carrying amount of thefinancial asset; or
• the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, theeffective interest rate is applied to the grosscarrying amount of the asset (when the assetis not credit-impaired) or to the amortised costof the liability. However, for financial assets thathave become credit impaired subsequent toinitial recognition, interest income is calculatedby applying the effective interest rate to theamortised cost of the financial asset. If the assetis no longer credit-impaired, then the calculationof interest income reverts to the gross basis.
General and specific borrowing costs thatare directly attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of a qualifying assetare capitalised during the period of time that isrequired to complete and prepare the asset forits intended use or sale. Qualifying assets areassets that necessarily take a substantial periodof time to get ready for their intended use or sale.Borrowing costs consist of interest and othercosts that the Company incurs in connectionwith the borrowing of funds (including exchangedifferences relating to foreign currencyborrowings to the extent that they are regardedas an adjustment to interest costs).
For general borrowing used for the purposeof obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount ofborrowing costs eligible for capitalization isdetermined by applying a capitalization rate tothe expenditures on that asset. The capitalizationrate is the weighted average of the borrowingcosts applicable to the borrowings of theCompany that are outstanding during theperiod, other than borrowings made specificallyfor the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.The amount of borrowing costs capitalizedduring a period does not exceed the amount ofborrowing cost incurred during that period.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in theperiod in which they occur.
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculatedby dividing the net profit or loss for the periodattributable to equity shareholders (afterdeducting attributable taxes) by the weightedaverage number of equity shares outstandingduring the period. The weighted average numberof equity shares outstanding during the period isadjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating dilutedearnings per share, the net profit or loss forthe period attributable to equity shareholdersand the weighted average number of sharesoutstanding during the period are adjusted forthe effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.The dilutive potential equity shares are deemedto be converted as of the beginning of the period,unless they have been issued at a later date.
An operating segment is a component thatengages in business activities from whichit may earn revenues and incur expenses,including revenues and expenses that relate totransactions with any of the other components,and for which discrete financial informationis available. The Company is engaged intodesigning, manufacturing, branding, andretailing of own-branded eyewear products.The Company sells prescription eyeglasses,sunglasses, and other products includingcontact lenses and eyewear accessories whichhas been defined as one business segment.Accordingly, the Company's activities/businessare reviewed regularly by the Company's Boardof Director's from an overall business perspective,rather than reviewing its products/services asindividual standalone components.
Property that is held for long-term rental yieldsor for capital appreciation or both, and that isnot occupied by the company is classified asinvestment property.
Investment property also includes property thatis being constructed or developed for future useas investment property.
Investment property is measured initially atits cost, including related transaction costsand where applicable borrowing costs.Investment property that is obtained througha lease is measured initially at the lease liabilityamount adjusted for any lease payments madeat or before the commencement date (less anylease incentives received), any initial direct costsincurred by the company, and an estimate ofcosts to be incurred by the lessee in dismantlingand removing the underlying asset, restoringthe site on which it is located or restoring theunderlying asset to the condition required by theterms and conditions of the lease.
Though the Company measures investmentproperty using cost based measurement, the fairvalue of investment property is disclosed in thenotes to the financial statements.
Depreciation on investment propertiescomprising right-of-use held for sublease isprovided on straight-line basis over the period oflease and other tangible assets as per the policydefined for same class of assets under property,plant and equipment. The residual values,useful lives and method of depreciation arereviewed at each financial year end and adjustedprospectively, if appropriate.
Where during any financial year, any addition hasbeen made to any asset, or where any asset hasbeen sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed,or significant components replaced; depreciationon such assets is calculated on a pro rata basis asindividual assets with specific useful life from themonth of such addition or, as the case may be, upto the month on which such asset has been sold,discarded, demolished or destroyed or replaced.
De-recognition
Investment properties are derecognised eitherwhen they have been disposed of or whenthey are permanently withdrawn from use andno future economic benefit is expected fromtheir disposal. The difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount ofthe asset is recognised in profit or loss in theperiod of de-recognition.
The Company has created a Lenskart ESOP Trust(LET) for providing share-based payment to itsemployees. The Company uses LET as a vehiclefor distributing shares to employees under theemployee remuneration schemes. The LET buysshares of the Company from the market, forgiving shares to employees on exercise of equitysettled ESOP. The Company treats EBT as itsextension and shares held by EBT are treated astreasury shares.
Own equity instruments that are reacquired(treasury shares) are recognised at cost anddeducted from equity. No gain or loss isrecognised in profit or loss on the purchase,sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's ownequity instruments. Any difference betweenthe carrying amount and the consideration, ifreissued, is recognised in Capital reserve.
The new and amended standards that are notifiedby the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), butnot yet effective, up to the date of issuanceof the Company's financial statements aredisclosed below. The Company will adoptthese amendments to the standards, when theybecome effective.
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification ofLiabilities as Current or Non-current and Non¬current Liabilities with Covenants
In accordance with Ind AS 1 currently applicable,breach of an immaterial covenant is ignoreddeciding in current vs. non-current classificationof liabilities. Also, in case of breach of a materialcovenant of a non-current loan on or before thereporting date, the entity can obtain waiver fromthe lender after the reporting date and continueto classify the loan as non-current liability.
In accordance with changes to Ind AS 1 alreadynotified by the MCA, the above relaxations to
classify loan as non-current liability will not beavailable from FY 2026-27 onward and need tobe applied retrospectively. Consequently:
• A breach of either material orimmaterial covenant will trigger currentclassification of liability.
• To continue classifying loan as non-currentliability, entities will need to obtainwaiver from the breach on or before thereporting date.
The Company is currently assessing theimpact the amendments will have on itsfinancial statements.
The Company applied for the first-time certainstandards and amendments, which are effective forannual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2025.The Company has not early adopted any standard,interpretation or amendment that has been issuedbut is not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifiedthe Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Amendment Rules, 2025, which amend Ind AS21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign ExchangeRates to specify how an entity should assesswhether a currency is exchangeable and howit should determine a spot exchange rate whenexchangeability is lacking. The amendments alsorequire disclosure of information that enablesusers of its financial statements to understandhow the currency not being exchangeable intothe other currency affects, or is expected toaffect, the entity's financial performance, financialposition and cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annualreporting periods beginning on or after 1April 2025. When applying the amendments,an entity cannot restate comparativeinformation. The amendments do nothave a material impact on the Company'sfinancial statements.
(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification ofLiabilities as Current or Non-current and Non¬current Liabilities with Covenants
I n August 2025, the MCA notified amendmentsto paragraphs 69 to 76 of Ind AS 1 to specify therequirements for classifying liabilities as currentor non-current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end ofthe reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by thelikelihood that an entity will exerciseits deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative ina convertible liability is itself an equityinstrument would the terms of a liability notimpact its classification
I n addition, a requirement has been introducedto require disclosure when a liability arising froma loan agreement is classified as non-currentand the entity's right to defer settlement iscontingent on compliance with future covenantswithin twelve months.
I f there is a breach of a material covenant of along term loan arrangement on or before the endof the reporting period, resulting in the liabilitybecoming payable on demand as at the reportingdate, and the lender agrees-after the reportingperiod but before the financial statements areapproved for issue-not to demand repaymentfor at least 12 months as a consequence of thebreach, this shall be treated as an adjusting event.Accordingly, the entity is not required to classifythe liability as current. The amendments areeffective for annual reporting periods beginningon or after 1 April 2025 retrospectively inaccordance with Ind AS 8. The amendmentshave resulted in additional disclosures in Note 15but have not had an impact on the classificationof Company's liabilities.
I n August 2025, the MCA notified amendmentsto Ind AS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IndAS 107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures toclarify the characteristics of supplier financearrangements and require additional disclosure ofsuch arrangements. The disclosure requirementsin the amendments are intended to assist users offinancial statements in understanding the effectsof supplier finance arrangements on an entity'sliabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
As a result of implementing the amendments, theCompany has provided additional disclosuresabout its supplier finance arrangement.Please refer to Note 21A and Note 47.
I n August 2025, the MCA notified amendmentsto Ind AS 12 Income Taxes in response to theOECD's BEPS Pillar Two rules and include:
• A mandatory temporary exception to therecognition and disclosure of deferred taxesarising fromthejurisdictional implementationof the Pillar Two model rules; and
• Disclosure requirements for affected entitiesto help users ofthe financial statements betterunderstand an entity's exposure to Pillar Twoincome taxes arising from that legislation,particularly before its effective date.
The mandatory temporary exception - theuse of which is required to be disclosed -applies immediately. The remaining disclosurerequirements apply for annual reporting periodsbeginning on or after 1 April 2025, but not forany interim periods ending on or before 31March 2026. The amendments had no impacton the Company's consolidated financialstatements as the Company is not in scope of thePillar Two model rules.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, the Company had acquired Customer Support Business fromDealskart Online Services Private Limited whereby it acquired an organised workforce, property, plantand equipment, certain other assets and liabilities generating goodwill of '10.87 million. Goodwill isattributable to one cash generating unit, being trading and distribution of branded and private labelledeyeglasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, accessories product and manufacturing of optical andophthalmic lenses used in spectacles. The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment, or morefrequently if an event occurs to warrant a review. The recoverable amount attributed to the CGU isbased on value in use calculations.
I n previous year, management has assessed that the goodwill is not recoverable, and therefore, animpairment charge has been recognised.
The key assumptions made in undertaking the value in use calculations involve estimating post-tax cashflows. Budgeted profit and cash flow forecasts for the financial year ending 31 March 2025 have beenextrapolated for a period of 2 years and a terminal growth rate of 5% has been applied thereafter and used asthe basis of the calculations. Discount rate assumptions are based on management estimates of the internalcost of capital likely to apply over the expected useful economic life of the goodwill and management'sview of the risk associated. A discount rate of 7.5% (March 31,2024: 7.5%) has been applied.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are categorised into threelevels of fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs tothe measurement, as follows
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financialinstruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and forwhich fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability ofinputs used determining the fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the threelevels prescribed under the accounting standard.
The following methods and assumptions have been used to estimate the fair values:
(A) The fair value of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (NAV) as statedby the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at the Balance Sheet date.NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price atwhich issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
39. Financial risk management
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans, borrowings, trade payables, lease liabilities, capitalcreditor, retention money payables, employee benefit payables and refund liabilities. The main purpose ofthese financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial assetsinclude loans, trade and other receivables, investment in preference shares, bank deposits, bonds, securitydeposits and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company is exposed tomarket risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's management oversees the management of theserisks and appraises the Board of Directors from time to time basis the impact assessment.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial asset failsto meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers,loans and other deposits etc.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument orcustomer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operatingactivities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banksand financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The Company
only deals with parties which has good credit rating/ worthiness given by external rating agencies orbased on Company's internal assessment.
All doubtful receivables are duly recognized from time to time post discussion with key stakeholdersand provided for in the financial statements as deemed appropriate.
All the financial assets carried at amortized cost were considered good as at 31 March 2026 and 31March 2025. The Company has not acquired any credit impaired asset. There was no modification inany financial assets.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company'streasury department. Investments of surplus funds are made only with reputed Funds as alignedwith the Board. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigatefinancial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
With regards to security deposit and other advances, the management believes these to be highquality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes the parties to which thesedeposits and other advances have been made have strong capacity to meet the obligations andwhere the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provision for expected credit losshas been provided on these financial assets.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on tradereceivable. Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk.Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date,right from initial recognition.
For homogenous group of receivables, the Company uses a provision matrix to determineimpairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based onits historically observed default and delay rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and isadjusted for forward looking estimates. At year end, the historical observed default and delay ratesare updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For other debtors that are heterogeneous in nature, individual receivables which are known to beuncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount of trade receivable and the amountof the loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss within other expenses.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding throughan adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out marketpositions. Considering the business requirements, the treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintainingavailability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidityposition and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.
The tables below analyse the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based ontheir contractual maturities for all financial liabilities, for which the contractual maturities are essentialfor an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. The amounts disclosed in the table are thecontractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances asthe impact of discounting is not significant.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk andother price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market riskinclude deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables. The sensitivity analyses in thefollowing sections relate to the position as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025. The analyses excludethe impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirementobligations and provisions. The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumedchanges in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31March 2026 and 31 March 2025.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuatebecause of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes inforeign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities and the Company'snet investments in foreign subsidiary. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets andliabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of any of the Company entities.The Company does not use forward contracts and swaps for speculative purposes.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market interest rates.
Assets: The Company's fixed deposits are carried at amortised cost and are fixed rate deposits. They aretherefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amountnor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Liabilities: The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the below mentioned borrowings:
The Company's outstanding borrowings as at the end of reporting period is as follows:
The Company's exposure price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheetat fair value through profit or loss. To manage the price risk arising from investments, the Companydiversifies its portfolio of assets.
