Provisions (legal and constructive) are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a
provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present
value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third
party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of
the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
⢠a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation;
⢠a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimates is possible;
⢠a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither
recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets and
non cancellable operating lease.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCAâ) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such
notification which would have been applicable from April 1,2024.
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the
revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.
i. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year. Such
lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based
on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly depreciable lives
are reviewed annually using the best information available to the management.
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of
funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires
application of j udgement to existing facts and circumstances, which may be subject to change. The amounts are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
iii. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company.
Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as
contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the
DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not
feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as
liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the
purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be
paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A tax assessement can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved
over extended time periods. The recognisation of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or
uncertainties is assessed j ndividually by the managment based on the specific facts and circumstances.
vi. Defined benefit obligations
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in
accordance with Ind AS 19 âEmployee benefits'' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees''
services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include
salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in
Note 40, âEmployee benefits''.
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for
estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not
collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the
expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates.
Judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history,
existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
viii. Impairment reviews
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (âCGU'') exceeds its recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use calculation
is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions are required to be made in
respect of highly uncertain matters, including management''s expectations of growth in EBITDA, long term growth rates;
and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.
The Company estimates the net realisable value (NRV) of its inventories by taking into account their estimated selling
price, estimated cost of completion, estimated costs necessary to make the sale, obsolescence by applying certain
percentages over different age category of such inventories, expected loss rate considering the past trend and future
outlook.Inventories are written down to NRV where such NRV is lower than their cost.
For Information about judgements made in applying the accounting policies for sales return that have the most significant
effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in notes 2.11 above.
There are no impairment losses recognised during the year.

Note 37. Segment Information
37.1 Basis for segmentation
Based on the "Management approach" as defined in IND AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) does not
evaluate the Group Performance", separately and hence the total business needs to be treated as one segment,
"Pharmaceutical and related products". The products being sold under this segment are of similar nature and comprise of
pharmaceutical products only.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) monitors the geographic segment of its business separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Geographical segments
Revenue is segregated into two segments namely India (sales to customer within India) and other countries (sales to customer
outside India) on the basis of geographical location of customers for the purpose of reporting geographical segments. Segment
asset are based on the geographical location of the asset.
Information about Major Customers
No Single Customer Account for 10% or More than 10% of Revenue from operation during the year ended March 31st, 2025.
and March 31st, 2024
Note. 38 Lease
The Group have taken various premises under operating lease. These are generally cancellable and ranges from 11 months to 5
years and are renewable by mutual consent on mutually agreeable terms. Some of these lease agreements have price escalation
clauses. There are no restrictions imposed by these lease arrangements and there are no sub leases. There are no contingent
rents.
The interest rate applied to lease liabilities is 10.00%.
Level 1 - Level 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have
declared buyback NAV The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV
Level 2 -The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (like Mark to Market Derivative) is
determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-
specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3- If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Group has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit Risk
⢠Liquidity Risk
⢠Market Risk
⢠Currency Risk
⢠Commodity Risk
Company''s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk
management framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management policies,
under the guidance of the Audit Committee.
Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by it, to set appropriate risk limits
and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to
reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. Company, through its training and procedures aims to
maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Company''s Audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company''s risk management policies
and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.
The Audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews
of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit committee.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.
Before accepting any new customer, the company evaluates the credit worthiness of the potentional customers based on past
history and other external inquiries as deemed appropriate. The Group also obtains the necessary KYC documents from all the
customer for assessing the credit quality and defines the credit limits accordingly. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are
reviewed once a year.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group established policy, procedures and control relating
to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables, which are no interest bearing, are mainly from stockists, distributors
and customers and are generally on 30 days to 180 days credit. To manage the credit risk from trade receivables, the Group
periodically assess financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and
analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. The Group considers
the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an
ongoing basis through each reporting period.
As at March 31st, 2025, The Group had - 10 customers, (March 31st, 2024: 10 customers) that owed the group more than
? 19,816.80 lakhs (March 31st, 2024: ? 15,924.78 Lakhs) and accounted for approximately - 62.99 % and 48.27 %
respectively of the total outstanding as at March 31st, 2025 and March 31st, 2024.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without
incurring unacceptable losses. The Group objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and
collateral requirements. The Group closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It
maintains adequate sources of financing including bilateral loans, debt, and overdraft from banks at an optimised cost. Working
capital requirements are adequately addressed by internally generated funds. Trade receivables are kept within manageable
levels.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market
rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk-
sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-
sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Group
is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Thus, the Group exposure to
market risk is a function of borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds from banks and institutions at both fixed and floating
interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings.
The Group exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management
section of this note.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period.
A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and
represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company''s (Contracted Interest Rate
on all the borrowing) profit for the year ended March 31,2025 would decrease/increase by W 323.81 Lakhs. (for the year ended
March 31st, 2024 decrease/increase by W 288.06 Lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the company''s exposure to interest rates
on its variable rate borrowings
The Group is also exposed to foreign currency risk on certain transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the
Group functional currency; hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The risk is that the functional currency value of
cash flows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates. The Group foreign exchange risk arises from foreign currency
revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars, Euros and GBP). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates
relative to these foreign currencies, the Group revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees may decrease or increase and
vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent
periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
The following table analyses foreign currency risk as at the year end that have not been mitigated by a derivative instrument or
otherwise are as below:
Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Group''s purchases and sales of active
pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are
commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of the Group''s raw
materials generally fluctuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used in the Group''s active
pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. Cost of raw materials forms the largest portion of the Group''s
cost of revenues. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through operating procedures and sourcing
policies. As of March 31st, 2025, the Group had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to
fluctuations in commodity prices.
The investment of the company are not readily marketable. Further the company has invested in the securities for the purpose
of obtaining the credit facilities. Thus in this case the cost of the security represents the fair value.
The Group has implemented Employee Stock Option Plan 2023 (âESOP 2023'') as approved by the shareholders on 29th
September, 2023. The ESOP 2023 covers all present and future permanent employees of the Group working in India or outside
India, Employees of present and future Group Companies including Subsidiary or Associate Company(ies) in India or outside
India and/or directors whether a whole-time director or not and/or such other persons, as may be permitted from time to time,

such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled.
The Company used software SAP to maintain its books of accounts. SAP software records the audit trail of each and every
transaction created in books of account along with the date when such changes were made.
With a view to address the above challenges while ensuring compliance with the MCA notification and mitigate the risks
involved therein, the Company has appropriately designed and implemented alternate mitigating controls over direct change at

Provisions (legal and constructive) are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
⢠a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
⢠a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimates is possible;
⢠a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognised nordisclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets and non cancellable operating lease.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such notification which would have been applicable from April 1,2024.
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.
i. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly depreciable lives are reviewed annually using the best information available to the management.
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires application of j udgement to existing facts and circumstances, which may be subject to change. The amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
iii. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A tax assessement can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. The recognisation of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed j ndividually by the managment based on the specific facts and circumstances.
vi. Defined benefit obligations
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 âEmployee benefits'' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees'' services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 40, âEmployee benefits''.
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history, existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
viii. Impairment reviews
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (âCGU'') exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management''s expectations of growth in EBITDA, long term growth rates; and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.
The Company estimates the net realisable value (NRV) of its inventories by taking into account their estimated selling price, estimated cost of completion, estimated costs necessary to make the sale, obsolescence by applying certain percentages over different age category of such inventories, expected loss rate considering the past trend and future outlook.Inventories are written down to NRV where such NRV is lower than their cost.
For Information about judgements made in applying the accounting policies for sales return that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in notes 2.11 above.

Note 37. Segment Information
37.1 Basis for segmentation
Based on the "Management approach" as defined in IND AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) does not evaluate the Company''s Performance", separately and hence the total business needs to be treated as one segment, "Pharmaceutical and related products". The products being sold under this segment are of similar nature and comprise of pharmaceutical products only.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) monitors the geographic segment of its business separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Geographical Segments
Revenue is segregated into two segments namely India (sales to customer within India) and other countries (sales to customer outside India) on the basis of geographical location of customers for the purpose of reporting geographical segments. Segment asset are based on the geographical location of the asset.
Information about Major Customers
No Single Customer Account for 10% or More than 10% of Revenue from operation during the year ended March 3 1st, 2024 and March 3 I st, 2023.
Note. 38 .ease
The Group have taken various premises under operating lease. These are generally cancellable and ranges from I I monthsto 5 years and are renewable by mutual consent on mutually agreeable terms. Some of these lease agreements have price escalation clauses. There are no restrictions imposed by these lease arrangements and there are no sub leases. There are no contingent rents.
The interest rate applied to lease liabilities is 10.00%.
Level I - Level I Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have declared buyback NAV. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV
Level 2 -The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (like Mark to Market Derivative) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3- If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Company has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit Risk
⢠Liquidity Risk
⢠Market Risk
⢠Currency Risk
⢠Commodity Risk
Company''s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management policies, under the guidance ofthe Audit Committee.
Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by it, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. Company, through its training and procedures aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Company''s Audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company''s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit committee.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Before accepting any new customer, the company evaluates the credit worthiness of the potentional customers based on past history and other external inquiries as deemed appropriate. The company also obtains the necessary KYC documents from all the customer for assessing the credit quality and defines the credit limits accordingly. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed once a year.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables, which are no interest bearing, are mainly from stockists, distributors and customers and are generally on 30 days to 180 days credit. To manage the credit risk from trade receivables, the Company periodically assess financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period.
As at March 31st, 2024, Company had 10 customers, (March 31st, 2023: 10 customers) that owed the company more than ? 15,924.78 lakhs (March 31st, 2023: ? 10,007.41 Lakhs) and accounted for approximately - 48.27 % and 48.71 % respectively of the total outstanding as at March 31st, 2024 and March 31st, 2023.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company''s objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate sources of financing including bilateral loans, debt, and overdraft from banks at an optimised cost. Working capital requirements are adequately addressed by internally generated funds. Trade receivables are kept within manageable levels.
The following tables detail the company''s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the company may be required to pay.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to 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. Thus, the Company''s exposure to market risk is a function of borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
The company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds from banks and institutions at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The companies exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been I % higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company''s (Contracted Interest Rate on all the borrowing) profit for the year ended March 3 1,2024 would decrease/increase byT 288.06 Lakhs (for the year ended March 3 1st, 2023 decrease/increase byT 159.50 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the company''s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk on certain transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the Company''s functional currency; hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The risk is that the functional currency value of cash flows will vary as a result of movements in exchange rates. The Company''s foreign exchange risk arises from foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars, Euros and GBP). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company''s revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees may decrease or increase and vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.
The following table analyses foreign currency risk as at the year end that have not been mitigated by a derivative instrument or otherwise are as below:
Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Company''s purchases and sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of the Company''s raw materials generally fluctuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used in the Company''s active pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. Cost of raw materials forms the largest portion of the Company''s cost of revenues. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through operating procedures and sourcing policies. As of March 31st, 2024, the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
The investment of the company are not readily marketable. Further the company has invested in the securities for the purpose of obtaining the credit facilities. Thus in this case the cost of the security represents the fair value.
The Company did not have any material transactions with companies struck off under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013 or Section 560 of Companies Act, 1956 during the financial year.
(a) Crypto Currency or Virtual Currency
(b) Benami Property held under Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988 and rules made thereunder
(c) Registration of Charges or Satisfaction with Registrar of Companies
(d) Relating to Borrowed funds:
i. Wilful Defaulter
ii. Utilisation of Borrowed Funds & Share Premium
iii. Discrepancy in Utilisation of Borrowings
(e) The Company does not have any such transaction which is not recorded in the books of accounts that has been surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in the tax assessments under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
(f) The Company is in compliance with the number of layers prescribed under clause (87) of section 2 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies (restriction on numberof layers) Rules, 2017.
In the opinion of the management inventories of T20,048.21 Lakhs (as at March 31st, 2023: T 18,345.75 Lakhs) shown in Balance Sheet are good and do not include any slow moving, or dead stock. Due provision is made for the near expiry material and depletion in its value, if any. In the opinion of the management, all the current assets including inventories, loans and advances have a value on a realisation in the ordinary course of business at least equal to the amount at which they are stated in the Balance Sheet.
The company has given security deposit of T 350 Lakhs (as at March 3 I st, 2023: T 350 Lakhs) to Gufic Private Limited towards the use of its factory premises at Navsari for its manufacturing activities. Accordingly an amount of T 350 Lakhs has been shown under the head Security depositwith related parties.
Company has also given Security Deposit to Gufic Chem Private Limited of T36 Lakhs (as at March 3 I st, 2023: T 120 Lakhs) towards supply of products at concessional rate to the company and the same has been show under Security deposit with related parties.
Note 53. Provision of anticipated Return of Goods subsequent to Sale:
Provision has been made towards probable return of goods from customers, as per Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 37 estimated by management based on past trends.
The Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 29th, 2024 has recommended a final dividend of '' 0.10 per equity share i.e., @ 10% on the face value of '' I/- each, for the financial year 2023 - 24, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
The Company has incorporated Gufic UK Limited ("GUL") in United Kingdom on March 15, 2022, Gufic Ireland Limited ("GIL") in Ireland on March 02, 2023, Veira Life FZE ("VLF") in Dubai, UAE on March 25, 2024 and Gufic Prime Private Limited (âGPPLâ) in India on November 18, 2023, with the intention of making GUL, GIL and VLF its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and GPPL as its Subsidiary Company. As of March 31,2024, neither investment have been made in GIL, VLF and GPPL nor they have begun their business operations. Consequently, there was no need to consolidate the accounts of GIL, VLF and GPPL with the Company. Whereas, on September 13, 2023, the Company invested in GUL by subscribing to its shares. Consequently, the consolidated financial Statement of financial year ended March 31,2024, have been prepared by the Company considering the financials of GUL.
The financial statements for the year ended March 31st, 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on May 29th, 2024 and are subject to approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
With effect from April 1,2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it mandatory for every company, which uses accounting software for maintaining its books of account, to use only such accounting software which has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled.
The Company used accounting software Tally Edit Log software to maintain its books of accounts from 1 April 2023 till 30 November 2023 and migrated into SAP software w.e.f. 1 December 2023. Both the software records the audit trail of each and every transaction created in books of account along with the date when such changes were made.
With a view to address the above challenges while ensuring compliance with the MCA notification and mitigate the risks involved therein, the Company has appropriately designed and implemented alternate mitigating controls over direct change at database level.
Figures for the previous year have been rearranged/recompanyed as and when necessary in terms of current yearâs companying.

Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments
Provisions (legal and constructive) are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a
provision i s measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present
value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third
party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of
the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:
⢠a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation;
⢠a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimates is possible;
⢠a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither
recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets and
non cancellable operating lease.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
3 Application of New Revised Ind AS
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCAâ) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such
notification which would have been applicable from April 1,2023.
4 Critical Estimates and Judgements
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the
revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.
4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
i. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year. Such
lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based
on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly depreciable lives
are reviewed annually using the best information available to the management.
ii. Provisions and liabilities
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of
funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires
application of j udgement to existing facts and circumstances, which may be subject to change. The amounts are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
iii. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company.
Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as
contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.
iv. Fair value measurements
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the
DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not
feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as
liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
v. Income Taxes
The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the
purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be
paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A tax assessement can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved
over extended time periods. The recognisation of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or
uncertainties is assessed j ndividually by the managment based on the specific facts and circumstances.
vi. Defined benefit obligations
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in
accordance with Ind AS 19 âEmployee benefits'' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees''
services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include
salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in
Note 40, âEmployee benefits''.
vii. Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for
estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not
collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the
expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates.
Judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history,
existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
viii. Impairment reviews
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (âCGU'') exceeds its recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use calculation
is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions are required to be made in
respect of highly uncertain matters, including management''s expectations of growth in EBITDA, long term growth rates;
and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.
ix. Inventories
The Company estimates the net realisable value (NRV) of its inventories by taking into account their estimated selling
price, estimated cost of completion, estimated costs necessary to make the sale, obsolescence by applying certain
percentages over different age category of such inventories, expected loss rate considering the past trend and future
outlook.Inventories are written down to NRV where such NRV is lower than their cost.
x. Sales Return
For Information about judgements made in applying the accounting policies for sales return that have the most significant
effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in notes 2.11 above.

NOTE 2 Application of new Revised Ind AS
2.1 Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract with Customers:
On March 28, 20I8, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) has notified the Ind AS II5, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entityâs contracts with customers.
The standard permits two possible methods of transition:
-Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8- Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
-Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying, the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach).
The effective date for adoption of Ind AS II5 is financial periods beginning on or after April I, 20I8. The Company will adopt the standard on April I, 20I8. The Company is under the process of evaluating the impact of Ind AS II5.
2.2 Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:
On March 28, 20I8, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 20I8 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 2I, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force from April I, 20I8. The Company has evaluated the effect of this on the financial statements and the impact is not material.
NOTE 3 Critical estimates and judgements
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.
3.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
i. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly depreciable lives are reviewed annually using the best information available to the management.
ii. Provisions and liabilities
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which may be subject to change. The amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
iii. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.
iv. Fair value measurements
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
v. Income Taxes
The Companyâs tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A tax assessement can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. The recognition of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by the management based on the specific facts and circumstances
vi. Defined Benefit Obligations
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS I9 âEmployee benefitsâ over the period during which benefit is derived from the employeesâ services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 40, âEmployee benefits?
vii. Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management seems them not collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history, existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
viii. Impairment reviews
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit (âCGUâ) exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including managementâs expectations of growth in EBITDA, long term growth rates; and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.

The objective of the risk management policy document is to ensure that the company has proper and continuous risk identification and management process. This process will generally involve the following steps:
- Identifying, ranking risks inherent in the Organisationâs strategy (including its overall goals and appetite for risk);
- Selecting the appropriate risk management approaches and transferring or avoiding those risks that the business is not willing or competent to manage;
- Implementing controls to manage the remaining risks;
- Monitoring the effectiveness of risk management approaches and controls;
- Learning from experiences and making improvements.
The various Risks to which the company is exposed and the steps taken to mitigate or minimise the same are given below:
14.4 Market risk
The Companies activities primarily expose it to the interest rates risk as discussed below:
14.5 Interest rate risk management
The company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds from banks and institutions at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. The companies exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
14.5.1 Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A I00 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been I00 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the companyâs (Contracted Interest Rate on all the borrowing)i) profit for the year ended March 3I, 20I8 would decrease/increase by Rs.59.62 lakhs (20I6 - 20I7: decrease/increase by Rs.4I.84 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the companyâs exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings; and
14.6 Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Before accepting any new customer, the company evaluates the credit worthiness of the potentional customers based on past history and other external inquiries as deemed appropriate. The company also obtains the necessary KYC documents from all the customer for assessing the credit quality and defines the credit limits accordingly. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed once a year. As at 3I March 20I7, the carrying amount of the companies largest customer was I449.84 lakhs (3I.03.20I6 - 429.64 lakhs, 0I.04.20I5 - I60I.0I lakhs)
14.7 Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the companyâs short-term, medium-term, and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Note 42.7.2 below sets out details of additional undrawn facilities that the company has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.
14.7.1 Liquidity and interest risk tables
The following tables detail the companyâs remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the company may be required to pay.
Commentary:
The tables below include the weighted average effective interest rate and the carrying amount of the respective financial liabilities as reflected in the standalone balance sheet as an example of summary quantitative data about exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period that an entity may provide internally to key management personnel.
14.8 Fair value measurements
The investment of the company are not readily marketable. Further the company has invested in the securities for the purpose of obtaining the credit facilities. The company has to returned the securities back to the lender in the event the credit facilities are repaid / closed by the company. Thus in the case the cost of the security represents the fair value.
Except as stated above the carrying amount of all other financial assets approximate their fair values as indicated below.
(I) The above claims are pending before various Authorities / court. The Company is confident that the cases will be successfully contested.
(ii) These represent demands raised by Income-tax department on various matters for which disputes are pending before various Appellate authorities. The Company is confident that all these cases can be successfully contested.

The resulting difference of Rs.757.95 lakhs in March 3I , 20I7 (Rs. 5I8.47 lakhs in April I, 20I6), in the carrying values of the assets and liabilities as at the transition date between the Ind AS and Previous GAAP have been recognised directly in other equity.
(A) Set out below are the Ind AS 101 optional exemptions availed as applicable and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
(i) Deemed cost
The company has opted para D7 AA and accordingly considered the carrying value of property, plant and equipments and Intangible assets as deemed cost as at transition date.
(ii) Leases
Appendix C to Ind AS I7, Leases, requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. As per Ind AS I7, this assessment should be carried out at inception of the contract or arrangement. However, the company has used Ind AS I0I exemption and assessed all arrangements based for embedded leases based on conditions in place as at the date of transition.

(v) Estimates
In preparing opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted amounts reported in financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP On transition, the Company did not revise estimates previously made under previous GAAP except where required by Ind AS.
Note: Under previous GAAP total comprehensive income was not reported. Therefore, the above reconciliation starts with profit under the previous GAAP.

The Ind AS adjustments are either non cash adjustments or are recompanying among the cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. Consequently, Ind AS adoption has no impact on the net cash flow for the year ended 3Ist March, 20I7 as compared with the previous GAAP
Notes to reconciliation
a. Trade and other Receivables
Under Previous GAAP the Company has created provision for impairment of receivables only in respect of specific amount for incurred losses. Under Ind AS, impairment allowance has been determined based on Expected Credit Loss model (ECL).
b. Revenue Recognition - Measurement of Revenue
As per Ind As 18 revenue needs to be measured at fair value and accordingly provision for estiamted returns is adjsuted up front against revenue as against the practice of recording them on occurrence of the returns under the earlier GAAP
c. Finance cost on interest free borrowing
Ind AS-109 requires all financial liabities to be measured at fair value as agaisnt cost in the previous GAAP Accordingly the differnce between the fair value and the previous GAAP carrying value is accounted for as a finance cost over the period of the loan with a corresponding credit being shown as an equity contribution.
d. Incremental finace cost under EIR method
Under Previous GAAP the Company accounted for long term borrowings at transaction value. Under Ind AS, the Company has recognised these long term borrowings initial at fair value less transaction cost and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate (EIR).
This has resulted to an impact on equity as on 31st March, 2017 of Rs.2.31 Lakhs and on 1st April, 2016 of Rs.13.48 Lakhs.
e. Fair valuation of non-current security deposits
Under Previous GAAP security deposits are carried at their book values. Under Ind AS, non cancellable deposits (other than statutory in nature) are required to be measured at their fair values at inception using an appropriate discounting rate.
f. Proposed dividend
Under previous GAAP dividends on equity shares recommended by the board of directors after the end of the reporting period but before the financial statements were approved by shareholders were recognised in the financial statements as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when declared by the members in a general meeting. In the case of the company, the declaration of dividend has occurred after period end. Therefore, the liability recorded for this dividend and tax thereon, has been derecognised against retained earnings.
g. Re-measurements of post employment benefit obligation
Under Ind AS, re-measurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of Statement of Profit and Loss. Under the previous GAAP these remeasurements were forming part of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year.
h. Revenue from operations & Excise Duty:
Under previous GAAP revenue from sale of goods was presented net of excise duty on sales. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. Excise duty is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as part of other expenses. This has resulted in an increase in the revenue from operations and expenses for the year ended 3Ist March, 20I7. The total comprehensive income for the year ended and equity as at 3Ist March, 20I7 has remained unchanged.
