1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as
amended from time to time) issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs in exercise of the powers conferred by section
133 read with sub-section (1) of section 210A of the Companies Act, 2013. In addition, the guidance
notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also applied along with
compliance with other statutory promulgations require a different treatment.

The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 of the Company is the first financial statements prepared
in compliance with Ind AS. The date of transition to Ind AS is April 1, 2017. The financial statements upto the year
ended March 31, 2018, were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 ("Previous GAAP") and other relevant provisions of the Act. The figures for the
year ended March 31, 2018 have now been restated under Ind AS to provide comparability. Refer Note 43 for the
details of first-time adoption exemptions availed by the Company.

1.2 Basis of preparation:

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that
are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period.

Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorized into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to
the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its
entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
Company can access at reporting date

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets or liabilities

1.3 Use of Estimates and Judgments:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS required management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in
which results are known/materialized. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best knowledge of
current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is
recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.

1.4 Presentation of financial statements:

These financial statements of the Company are prepared and presented in accordance with Indian Accounting
Standards ("Ind AS") notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and
other relevant provision of the Act as amended from time to time and presentation requirements of Division II of
Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the financial statements.

Amounts in the financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees rounded off to zero decimal places as permitted
by Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Per share data are presented in Indian Rupee to two decimal places.

1.5 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the
revenue can be reliably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery. Revenue is measured at the
fair value of the consideration received or receivable as reduced for estimated customer credits and other similar
allowances.

Income from arbitrage comprises profit / loss on sale of securities held as stock-in-trade and profit / loss on equity
derivative instruments is accounted as per following:

i. Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and for all financial instruments except for
those classified as held for trading or those measured or designated as at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL) is measured using the effective interest method (EIR).

The calculation of the EIR includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are
incremental and directly attributable to the specific lending arrangement, transaction costs, and all other
premiums or discounts. For financial assets at FVTPL transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss at initial
recognition.

The interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of non-credit impaired
financial assets (i.e. at the amortised cost of the financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss
allowance). For credit-impaired financial assets the interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the
amortised cost of the credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the allowance for
expected credit losses (ECLs)). For financial assets originated or purchased credit-impaired (POCI) the EIR
reflects the ECLs in determining the future cash flows expected to be received from the financial asset.

ii. Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s right to receive dividend is established by the reporting
date and no significant uncertainty as to collectability exists.

iii. Fee and commission income and expense include fees other than those that are an integral part of EIR. The fees
included in the Company statement of profit and loss include among other things fees charged for servicing a
loan, non-utilisation fees relating to loan commitments when it is unlikely that these will result in a specific
lending arrangement and loan advisory fees.

iv. Profit / loss on sale of securities are determined based on the FIFO cost of the securities sold.

v. Profit / loss on FNO Segment and Commodity transactions is accounted for as explained below:

Initial and additional margin paid over and above initial margin for entering into contracts for Equity Index /
Stock Futures / Commodity Spot Trading/ Currency Futures and or Equity Index / Stock Options / Currency
Options, which are released on final settlement / squaring-up of underlying contracts, are disclosed under
"Other current assets". Mark-to-market margin-Equity Index / Stock Futures / Currency Futures representing the
amounts paid in respect of mark to market margin is disclosed under "Other current assets".

"Equity Index / Stock Option / Currency Option Premium Account" represents premium paid or received for
buying or selling the Options, respectively.

On final settlement or squaring up of contracts for Equity Index / Stock Futures / Currency Future, the realized
profit or loss after adjusting the unrealized loss already accounted, if any, is recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. On settlement or squaring up of Equity Index / Stock Options / Currency Option, before expiry,
the premium prevailing in "Equity Index / Stock Option / Currency Option Premium Account" on that date is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

As at the Balance Sheet date, the Mark to Market / Unrealised Profit / (Loss) on all outstanding arbitrage
portfolio comprising of Securities and Equity / Currency Derivatives positions is determined on scrip basis with
net unrealized losses on scrip basis being recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss and the net unrealized
gains on scrip basis are ignored.

vi. Other operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is
recognised when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

1.6 Fair value measurement:

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Certain accounting policies
and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and nonfinancial asset and liabilities.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an ordinary transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the
assumption that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability acting in their best economic

interest. The Company uses valuation techniques, which are appropriate in circumstances and for which sufficient
data is available considering the expected loss/ profit in case of financial assets or liabilities.

1.7 Property, Plant and Equipments

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical
cost less depreciation less impairment loss, if any. Historical cost comprises of purchase price, including non¬
refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the
item to its working condition for its intended use.

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 reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is
derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to statement of profit or loss during the
reporting period in which they are incurred.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted
for as separated items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value:

Depreciation is provided on a written down value method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which in
certain cases may be different than the rate prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in order to reflect
the actual usages of the assets.

The asset''s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period. The asset''s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.

The assets'' residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation 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 and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized as
income or expense in the statement of profit and loss.

1.8 Intangible assets:

Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are stated at
original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated amortization and cumulative impairment. Direct
expenses and administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to acquisition of
intangible assets are allocated and capitalized as a part of the cost of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Intangible assets
under development".

Intangible assets are amortised on written down value method basis over the estimated useful life. The method of
amortization and useful life are reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the
estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are recognised in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognized.

1.9 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

As at the end of each accounting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication

exists, the PPE, investment property and intangible assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the
impairment loss, if any. Goodwill and the intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable
amount is determined in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted.

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such
deficit is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For this purpose, the impairment loss
recognised in respect of a cash generating unit is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to such cash generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets of the cash
generating unit on a pro-rata basis.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit), except
for allocated goodwill, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss is
recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss (other than
impairment loss allocated to goodwill) is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.10 Employee benefits:

i. Short term employee benefits:

Employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term
employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service. Liabilities
recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

ii. Post-employment benefits:

a) Defined contribution plans: The Company''s superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund
scheme, employee state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defined contribution
plans. The contribution paid/ payable under the schemes is recognised during the period in which the
employee renders the related service.

b) Defined benefit plans: The employees'' gratuity fund schemes and employee provident fund schemes
managed by board of trustees established by the Company, the post-retirement medical care plan and
the Parent Company pension plan represent defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation
under defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit
Method.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate
based on the market yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted
average maturity profile of the defined benefit obligations at the Balance Sheet date.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset) and any change in the effect of asset
ceiling (if applicable) is recognised in other comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings
and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to profit or loss.

Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on
settlements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit expenses. Interest
cost implicit in defined benefit employee cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under
finance cost. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the
settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or
curtailment and when the Company recognizes related restructuring costs or termination benefits.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the
defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.

iii. Long term employee benefits:

The obligation recognised in respect of long term benefits such as long term compensated absences is
measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company and is
recognised in a similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii) (b) above.

iv. Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as expense
when the Company''s offer of the termination benefit is accepted or when the Company recognises the related
restructuring costs whichever is earlier.

1.11 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company''s balance sheet when the Company becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets
and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial
assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when there is a
current legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and it is intended to either settle on net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.12 Write off:

Loans and debt securities are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the
financial asset (either in its entirety or a portion of it). This is the case when the Company determines that the
borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts
subject to the write-off. A write-off constitutes a de-recognition event. The Company may apply enforcement
activities to financial assets written off. Recoveries resulting from the Company''s enforcement activities will result in
impairment gains.

1.13 Impairment:

The Company recognises loss allowances for ECLs on the following financial instruments that are not measured at
FVTPL:

o Loans and advances to customers;
o Debt investment securities;
o Trade and other receivable;
o Lease receivables;

o Irrevocable loan commitments issued; and
o Financial guarantee contracts issued.

Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is ''credit-impaired'' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future
cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Credit-impaired financial assets are referred to as Stage 3 assets.
Evidence of credit impairment includes observable data about the following events:

o significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
o a breach of contract such as a default or past due event;

o the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower''s financial difficulty,
having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

o the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or
o the purchase of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

It may not be possible to identify a single discrete event—instead, the combined effect of several events may have
caused financial assets to become credit-impaired. The Company assesses whether debt instruments that are
financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are credit-impaired at each reporting date. To assess if
corporate debt instruments are credit impaired, the Company considers factors such as bond yields, credit ratings
and the ability of the borrower to raise funding.

A loan is considered credit-impaired when a concession is granted to the borrower due to a deterioration in the
borrower''s financial condition, unless there is evidence that as a result of granting the concession the risk of not
receiving the contractual cash flows has reduced significantly and there are no other indicators of impairment. For
financial assets where concessions are contemplated but not granted the asset is deemed credit impaired when there
is observable evidence of credit-impairment including meeting the definition of default. The definition of default (see
below) includes unlikeliness to pay indicators and a back-stop if amounts are overdue for 90 days or more.

1.14 Cash and bank balances:

Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and
other bank balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being subject to more
than insignificant risk of change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

1.15 Securities premium account:

i. Securities premium includes:

• The difference between the face value of the equity shares and the consideration received in respect of
shares issued pursuant to Stock Option Scheme.

• The fair value of the stock options which are treated as expense, if any, in respect of shares allotted pursuant
to Stock Options Scheme.

ii. The issue expenses of securities which qualify as equity instruments are written off against securities premium
account.

1.16 Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of
assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings, to the extent
they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of such
asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily
requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised
in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

1.17 Accounting and reporting of information for Operating Segments:

Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the
chief operating decision making body in the Company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource
allocation. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the
performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments. Segment accounting policies are in line with the
accounting policies of the Company.

1.18 Foreign currencies:

i. The functional currency and presentation currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Functional currency of the
Company and foreign operations has been determined based on the primary economic environment in which
the Company and its foreign operations operate considering the currency in which funds are generated, spent
and retained.

ii. In currencies other than the Company''s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the
exchange rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are
reported at the prevailing closing spot rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in
foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each
Balance Sheet date at the closing spot rate are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in
which they arise.

iii. Financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different than Indian Rupees are
translated into Indian Rupees as follows -

A. assets and liabilities for each Balance Sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of
that Balance Sheet;

B. income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and

C. all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity as foreign currency translation reserve for subsequent reclassification to profit or loss on disposal
of such foreign operations.

1.19 Taxation:

Current Tax:

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income (or on the basis of book profits
wherever minimum alternate tax is applicable) and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
Company''s financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and
quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying
amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head "capital gains" are
recognised and carried forward to the extent of available taxable temporary differences or where there is convincing
other evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
realized. Deferred tax assets in respect of unutilized tax credits which mainly relate to minimum alternate tax are
recognised to the extent it is probable of such unutilized tax credits will get realized.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its
assets and liabilities.

Transaction or event which is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or in equity, is
recorded along with the tax as applicable.

Depreciation is provided on a written down value method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which in
certain cases may be different than the rate prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in order to reflect
the actual usages of the assets.

The asset''s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period. The asset''s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.

The assets'' residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation 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 and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized as
income or expense in the statement of profit and loss.

1.8 Intangible assets:

Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are stated at
original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated amortization and cumulative impairment. Direct
expenses and administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to acquisition of
intangible assets are allocated and capitalized as a part of the cost of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Intangible assets
under development".

Intangible assets are amortised on written down value method basis over the estimated useful life. The method of
amortization and useful life are reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the
estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are recognised in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognized.

1.9 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

As at the end of each accounting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication
exists, the PPE, investment property and intangible assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the
impairment loss, if any. Goodwill and the intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable
amount is determined in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the net selling price and the value in use.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted.

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such
deficit is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of
the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For this purpose, the impairment loss
recognised in respect of a cash generating unit is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to such cash generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets of the cash
generating unit on a pro-rata basis.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit), except
for allocated goodwill, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss is
recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss (other than
impairment loss allocated to goodwill) is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.10 Employee benefits:

i. Short term employee benefits:

Employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term
employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service. Liabilities
recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

ii. Post-employment benefits:

a) Defined contribution plans: The Company''s superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund
scheme, employee state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defined contribution
plans. The contribution paid/ payable under the schemes is recognised during the period in which the
employee renders the related service.

b) Defined benefit plans: The employees'' gratuity fund schemes and employee provident fund schemes
managed by board of trustees established by the Company, the post-retirement medical care plan and
the Parent Company pension plan represent defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation
under defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit
Method.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate
based on the market yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted
average maturity profile of the defined benefit obligations at the Balance Sheet date.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset) and any change in the effect of asset
ceiling (if applicable) is recognised in other comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings
and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to profit or loss.

Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on
settlements are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit expenses. Interest
cost implicit in defined benefit employee cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under
finance cost. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the
settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or
curtailment and when the Company recognizes related restructuring costs or termination benefits.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the
defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.

iii. Long term employee benefits:

The obligation recognised in respect of long term benefits such as long term compensated absences is
measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company and is
recognised in a similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii) (b) above.

iv. Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as expense
when the Company''s offer of the termination benefit is accepted or when the Company recognises the related
restructuring costs whichever is earlier.

1.11 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company''s balance sheet when the Company becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets
and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial
assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when there is a
current legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and it is intended to either settle on net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.12 Write off:

Loans and debt securities are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the
financial asset (either in its entirety or a portion of it). This is the case when the Company determines that the
borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts
subject to the write-off. A write-off constitutes a de-recognition event. The Company may apply enforcement
activities to financial assets written off. Recoveries resulting from the Company''s enforcement activities will result in
impairment gains.

1.13 Impairment:

The Company recognises loss allowances for ECLs on the following financial instruments that are not measured at
FVTPL:

o Loans and advances to customers;
o Debt investment securities;
o Trade and other receivable;
o Lease receivables;

o Irrevocable loan commitments issued; and
o Financial guarantee contracts issued.

Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is ''credit-impaired'' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future
cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Credit-impaired financial assets are referred to as Stage 3 assets.
Evidence of credit impairment includes observable data about the following events:

o significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
o a breach of contract such as a default or past due event;

o the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower''s financial difficulty,
having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

o the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or
o the purchase of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

It may not be possible to identify a single discrete event—instead, the combined effect of several events may have
caused financial assets to become credit-impaired. The Company assesses whether debt instruments that are
financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are credit-impaired at each reporting date. To assess if
corporate debt instruments are credit impaired, the Company considers factors such as bond yields, credit ratings
and the ability of the borrower to raise funding.

A loan is considered credit-impaired when a concession is granted to the borrower due to a deterioration in the
borrower''s financial condition, unless there is evidence that as a result of granting the concession the risk of not
receiving the contractual cash flows has reduced significantly and there are no other indicators of impairment. For
financial assets where concessions are contemplated but not granted the asset is deemed credit impaired when there
is observable evidence of credit-impairment including meeting the definition of default. The definition of default (see
below) includes unlikeliness to pay indicators and a back-stop if amounts are overdue for 90 days or more.

1.14 Cash and bank balances:

Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and
other bank balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being subject to more
than insignificant risk of change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

1.15 Securities premium account:

i. Securities premium includes:

• The difference between the face value of the equity shares and the consideration received in respect of
shares issued pursuant to Stock Option Scheme.

• The fair value of the stock options which are treated as expense, if any, in respect of shares allotted pursuant
to Stock Options Scheme.

ii. The issue expenses of securities which qualify as equity instruments are written off against securities premium
account.

1.16 Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of
assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings, to the extent
they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of such
asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily
requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised
in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

1.17 Accounting and reporting of information for Operating Segments:

Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the
chief operating decision making body in the Company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource
allocation. The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the
performance assessment and resource allocation to the segments. Segment accounting policies are in line with the
accounting policies of the Company.

1.18 Foreign currencies:

i. The functional currency and presentation currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. Functional currency of the
Company and foreign operations has been determined based on the primary economic environment in which
the Company and its foreign operations operate considering the currency in which funds are generated, spent
and retained.

ii. In currencies other than the Company''s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the
exchange rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are
reported at the prevailing closing spot rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in
foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each
Balance Sheet date at the closing spot rate are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in
which they arise.

iii. Financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different than Indian Rupees are
translated into Indian Rupees as follows -

A. assets and liabilities for each Balance Sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of
that Balance Sheet;

B. income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and

C. all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity as foreign currency translation reserve for subsequent reclassification to profit or loss on disposal
of such foreign operations.

1.19 Taxation:

Current Tax:

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income (or on the basis of book profits
wherever minimum alternate tax is applicable) and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
Company''s financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and
quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying
amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head "capital gains" are
recognised and carried forward to the extent of available taxable temporary differences or where there is convincing
other evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
realized. Deferred tax assets in respect of unutilized tax credits which mainly relate to minimum alternate tax are
recognised to the extent it is probable of such unutilized tax credits will get realized.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its
assets and liabilities.

Transaction or event which is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or in equity, is
recorded along with the tax as applicable.

1.01 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“the functional currency”). Indian rupee is the functional currency of the Company.

1.02 First-time adoption of Ind AS

Ind AS 101 requires that all Ind AS effective for the first Ind AS financial statements, be applied consistently and retrospectively for all fiscal years presented However, this standard has some exception and exemption to this general requirement in specific cases. The application of relevant exception and exemption are:

Exceptions to retrospective application of other Ind AS

a) Estimates: An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is an objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

b) Ind AS 109-Financial Instruments (Derecognition of previously recognised financial assets / financial liabilities): An entity shall apply the derecognition requirements in Ind AS 109 in financial instruments prospectively for transactions occuring on or after the date of transition. The Company has applied the derecognition requirements prospectively.

c) Ind AS 109-Financial Instruments (Classification and measurement financial assets): Classification and measurement shall be made on the basis of facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has evaluated the facts and circumstances existing on the date of transistion to Ind AS for the purpose of classification and measurement of financial assets and accordingly has classified and measured the financal assests on the date of transition.

Exemptions from retrospective application of Ind AS

a) Ind AS 40 Investment Property :lf there is no change in the functional currency an entity may elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its investment property as recognised in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the date of transition.

b) Ind AS 27 Separate financial statements: An entity is required to account for its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates either:

(a) at cost; or

(b) in accordance with Ind AS 109. Such cost shall be cost as per Ind AS 27 or deemed cost. The deemed cost of such an investment shall be its fair value on the date of transition to Ind AS or Previous GAAP carrying amount at that date. The Company has elected to measure its investment in subsidiaries at deemed cost being carrying value as previous GAAP.

c) Ind AS 17 Leases: An entity shall determine based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS whether an arrangement contains a Lease and when a lease includes both land and building elements, an entity shall assess the operating lease. The Company has used this exemption and assessed all arrangements based on conditions existing as at the date of transition.

d) Ind AS 109-Financial Instruments: Ind AS 109 permits an entity to designate a financial liabilities and financial assets (meeting certain criteria ) at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability and financial asset shall be designated at fair value through profit or loss, on the basis of facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition.

1.03 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity of Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets: liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements, income and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods which are affected.

Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates and assumption having the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are:

Valuation of financial instruments

Valuation of derivative financial instruments

Useful life of property, plant and equipment

Useful life of investment property

Provisions

Recoverability of trade receivables Summary of significant accounting policies

1.04 Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ noncurrent classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading

- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

1.05 Fair value measurement

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Company''s Management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.

At each reporting date, the Management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company''s accounting policies- For this analysis, the Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

The Management also compares the change in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) (note 37)

1.06 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue is recognized on accrual basis from brokerage earned on secondary market operations on trade date.

Income from arbitrage comprises profit / loss on sale of securities held as stock-in-trade and profit / loss on equity derivative instruments is accounted as per following;”i) Profit / loss on sale of securities is determined based on the FIFO cost of the securities sold.”ii) Profit / loss on arbitrage transactions is accounted for as explained below: ''''Initial and additional margin paid over and above initial margin for entering into contracts for Equity Index / Stock Futures / Currency Futures and or Equity Index / Stock Options / Currency Options, which are released on final settlement / squaring-up of underlying contracts are disclosed under “Other current assets”.

Mark-to-market margin-Equity Index / Stock Futures /”Currency Futures representing the amounts paid in respect of mark to market margin is disclosed under “Other current assets”. Equity Index / Stock Option / Currency Option Premium Account”“ represents premium paid or received for buying or selling the Options, respectively.”“On final settlement or squaring up of contracts for Equity Index / Stock Futures / Currency Future, the realized profit or loss after adjusting the unrealized loss already accounted, if any, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On settlement or squaring up of Equity Index / Stock Options / Currency Option, before expiry, the premium prevailing in ““Equity Index / Stock Option / Currency Option Premium Account”“ on that date is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.”“As at the Balance Sheet date, the Mark to Market / Unrealised Profit / (Loss) on all outstanding arbitrage portfolio comprising of Securities and Equity / Currency Derivatives positions is determined on scrip basis with net unrealized losses on scrip basis being recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss and the net unrealized gains on scrip basis are ignored.

Interest and dividend income

“Interest on investments is booked on a time proportion basis taking into account the amounts invested and the rate of interest.”“Dividend income on investments is accounted for when the right to receive the payment is established.”

Purchase

Purchase is recognized on passing of ownership in share based on broker''s purchase note. Expenditure

Expenses are accounted for on accrual basis and provision is made for all known losses and liabilities.

1.07 Inventories:

iv) Traded goods and stores and spares are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

Cost is determined on FIFO basis.

1.08 Foreign currency transactions and translation (if any)

i) Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in functional currency at closing rates of exchange at the reporting date.

ii) Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items recognised in statement of profit and loss.

iii) The Company is primarily engaged in business of imports and exports of diamonds and jewellery. It has availed foreign currency denominated credit facilities for the purpose of its export and import business. As the Company enters into business transactions based on the prevailing exchange rate, forward premium and other related factors, the gain/(loss) on this account is considered to be an integral part of the operations of the Company in accordance with industry practice and to avoid distortion of operating performance.

1.09 Taxes 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 Company determines the tax as per the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961 and other rules specified thereunder.

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 in full 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, except:

When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

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 relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss {either in other comprehensive income or in equity). 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.

a) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and where applicable accumulated impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment and capital work in progress cost include expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent Cost

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised and charged to the statement of Profit and Loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss. The system software which is expected to provide future enduring benefits is capitalised. The capitalised cost includes license fees and cost of implementation/system integration.

Depreciation and amortisation

The depreciation on tangible assets except windmill is calculated on WDV method over the estimated useful life of assets prescribed by the Schedule II to the

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The Company has not received any information from its suppliers regarding their registration under the “Micro, Small and Mediurr Enterprises Development Act, 2006”. Hence, interest if, any payable as required under Act has not been provided and the information required to be given in accordance with Section 22 of the said Act, is not ascertainable and hence, not disclosed.

Investments that are readily realizable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as noncurrent investments.

An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognized in prior accounting period is reversed if there is a change in the estimated recoverable value.

Provision for current Income Tax is made on the taxable income using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax assets or liabilities arising on account of timing differences between book and tax profits, which are capable ot reversal in one or more subsequent years is recognized using tax rate and tax laws that have been enacted or subsequently enacted. Deferred tax asset in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses are not recognized unless there is sufficient assurance that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realize such losses.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

Stock in Trade

Shares are valued at cost or market value, whichever is lower. The comparison of Cost and Market value is done separately for each category of Shares.

Contingent Liabilities & Provisions

/4 provision is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and in respect of which reliable estimate can be made.
