In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective ofvesting. The Company's obligation towards its gratuity liability is a defined benefit plan.
Description of Risk Exposures
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework whichmay vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are asfollows:
A) Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will resultin an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value ofthe liability (as shown in financial statements).
B) Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on anyparticular investment.
C) Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salaryincrease rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participantsfrom the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on theplan's liability.
D) Demographic Risk : The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability.The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
E) Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts.This may arisedue to non availabilty of enough cash/cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not beingsold in time.
In respect of the plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligationwere carried out as at 31 March 2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related currentservice cost and paid service cost, were measured using the projected unit cost credit method.
a. Ta. The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation takes into account inflation, seniority,promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market.
b. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities as at the balance sheet datefor the estimated term of the obligations.
c. Attrition rate considered is the management's estimate based on the past trend of employee turnover in the Company.Sensitivity analysis
The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are the attrition rate, discountrate and the long-term rate of compensation increase. The calculation of the net defined benefit liability is sensitive to theseassumptions. It is assumed that the active members of the scheme will experience in service mortality in accordance withthe Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ultimate Table. The following table summarises the effects of changes in theseactuarial assumptions on the defined benefit liability.

Investment in subsidiaries carried at cost is not appearing as financial asset in the table above being investment in subsidiariesand associates accounted under Ind AS 27, Separate Financial Statements and is hence scoped out under Ind AS 109.
The management assessed that fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans, borrowings, trade payablesand other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities ofthese instruments
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in acurrent transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value/amortized cost
1) Long-term fixed-rate receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates,specific country risk factors, individual losses and creditworthiness of the receivables
2) The fair value of unquoted instruments, loans from banks and other financial liabilities, as well as other non-current financialliabilities are estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, creditrisk and remaining maturities. In addition to being sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the forecast cash flows ordiscount rate, the fair value of the unquoted instruments is also sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the growthrates. The valuation requires management to use unobservable inputs in the model, of which the significant unobservableinputs are disclosed in the tables below. Management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives forthose significant unobservable inputs and determines their impact on the total fair value.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly orindirectly.
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no items of financial assets or financial liabilities which were valued at fair value as of 31 March 2026 and31 March 2025.
34.3 Financial Risk Management Framework
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's riskmanagement framework. The Company manages financial risk relating to the operations through internal risk reportswhich analyse exposure by degree and magnitude of risk.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk (including interestrate risk and other price risk). The Company's primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effectsof market risk on its financial performance. The Company's risk management assessment and policies and processesare established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, andto monitor risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewedregularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Board of Directors and the AuditCommittee is responsible for overseeing the Company's risk assessment and management policies and processes.
(a) Liquidity Risk Management :
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Companymanages its liquidity risk by ensuring as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilitieswhen due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company'sreputation.
Liquidity and Interest Risk Tables :
To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end ofthe reporting period The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
(b) Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meetits contractual obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration ofcreditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit riskprincipally consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other financial assets. None of
the other financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk. Credit risk is controlled byanalysing credit limits and creditworthiness of customers on a continuous basis to whom the credit has been grantedafter obtaining necessary approvals for credit.
The carrying amount of the financial assets recorded in these financial statements, grossed up for any allowance forlosses, represents the maximum exposures to credit risk.
Trade receivables: The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of eachcustomer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and credit history, also has aninfluence on credit risk assessment.
Credit risk on current investments, cash & cash equivalent and derivatives is limited as the Company generally transactswith banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.Investments primarily include investment in fixed deposits.
(c) Market Risk :
Market risk is the risk of loss of any future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result fromadverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price ofmarket risk sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributableto all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short-term and long¬term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk andthe market value of its investments. Thus, the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowingactivities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
(c.1) 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 changesin market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to theCompany's debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company's management monitors the interest fluctuations, if any, and accordingly, take necessary steps to mitigateany interest rate risk.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Company is debt free as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 and hence the Company is not exposed to changes inmarket interest rates.
(c.2) Foreign Currency Risk Management :
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and consequently, exposures to exchange ratefluctuations arises.
Foreign Currency sensitivity analysis:
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in ' against the relevant foreigncurrencies. 10% is the rate used in order to determine the sensitivity analysis considering the past trends and expectation ofthe management for changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis includes the outstanding foreigncurrency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currencyrates. A positive number below indicates a increase in profit / decrease in loss and increase in equity where the ' strengthens10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the ' against the relevant currency, there would be a comparableimpact on the profit or loss and equity and balance below would be negative.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activity :
The Company's revenue is denominated in various foreign currencies. Given the nature of the business, a large portionof the costs are denominated in Indian Rupee. This exposes the Company to currency fluctuations on collections.
The Board of Directors has risk management plan of the Company which inter-alia covers risks arising out of exposure toforeign currency fluctuations. Under the guidance and framework provided by the board, the Company uses derivativeinstruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts in which the counter party is generally a bank.
Sensitivity analysis
In respect the Company's forward exchange contracts, a 10% increase/decrease in the exchange rates of the currencyunderlying such contracts would have resuted in: an approximately (' 807 Lakhs) / ' 807 Lakhs increase/(decrease) in theCompany's other comprehensive income as at 31 March 2026.
