ii. 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, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investments in debtsecurities and loans given.

For trade receivables, as a practical expedient, the Company computes credit loss allowance based on a provisionmatrix. The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of tradereceivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates.
Assets are written off when there are no reasonable expectation of recovery such as debtor declaring bankruptcy orfailing to engage in a repayment plan with group. Where receivables have been written off the company continues toengage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables. where recoveries are made, these are recognisedin profit and loss.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date from Trade Receivable is as amounts mentioned in Note 11

The gross inflows/(outflows) disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows relating to non¬derivative financial liabilities held for risk management purposes and which are not usually closed out before contractual maturity.
iv. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equityprice risk and commodity risk.

(i) Entity responsibilities for the governance of the planRisk to the Plan
Following are the risk to which the plan exposes the entity :
A Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increasein Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the Gratuitybenefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cashflow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than theGratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as atthe resignation date.
B Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fairvalue of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discountrate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discountrate during the inter-valuation period.
C Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If someof such employees resign / retire from the company there can be strain on the cash flows.
D Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarialassumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase indiscount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends onthe yields on the corporate / government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields asat the valuation date.
E Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation /regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefitsto the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to berecognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
(ii) The company has participated in Group Gratuity Scheme Plan with SBI Life insurance to meet its gratuity liability. The presentvalue of the plan assets represents the balance available at the end of the year.
Note 45.5 Other Notes:
(i) The expected rate of return on Plan Assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the compositionof Plan Assets held, assessed risks, historical results of return on Plan Assets and the Company's policy for the Plan Assetsmanagement.
(ii) The actuarial valuation takes into account the estimates of future salary increases, inflation, seniority, promotion and otherrelevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. The management has relied on the overall actuarialvaluation conducted by the actuary.
(iii) The Government of India has consolidated 29 existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four LabourCodes, viz., Code on Wages, 2019, Code on Social Security, 2020, Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and Occupational Safety,Health and Working Conditions Code 2020 (collectively referred to as the ‘New Labour Codes'). These Codes have beenmade effective from November 21, 2025. The corresponding all supporting Rules under these codes are yet to be notified.
Based on the management's assessment and actuarial valuation, there is no material financial implication due to thesechanges. The assessment of other impacts, if any, on employee benefit expenses arising from the New Labour Codes will beundertaken and accounted for upon notification of the relevant rules by the appropriate authorities.
