Note 27 (b) : Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and
borrowings, trade and other payables, and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of
these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations and to provide guarantees to
support its operations directly or indirectly. The Company''s principal financial assets include
investments, loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents that derive directly
from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The below note explains the
sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company''s established policy, procedures and control
relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed by the
management on regular basis with market information and individual credit limits are defined
accordingly. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any further services
to major customers are approved by the senior management. Based on the business environment
in which the company operates.

On account of adoption of Ind-AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the
impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit
loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external
and internal credit risk factors and the Company''s historical experience for customers. The
company manages its credit risk through credit approvals,

Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances/investments with banks and financial institutions is managed in
accordance with the Company''s treasury risk management policy. Investments of surplus funds

are made only with approved counterparties and within limits assigned to each counterparty. The
limits are assigned based on corpus of investable surplus and corpus of the investment avenue.
The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and

The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March
31, 2024 and March 31, 2013 is the carrying amounts as stated in balance sheet. The Company''s
maximum exposure relating to financial guarantees and financial derivative instruments is noted
in the liquidity table below.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they
become due. The objective of liquidity risk

The Treasury Risk Management Policy includes an appropriate liquidity risk management
framework for the management of the short-term, medium- term and long term funding and cash
management requirements. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate
cash reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of

Market Risk

Market risk comprises two types of risk: price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. The risks
may affect income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments of the Company. The
objective of the Management of the Company for market risk is to maintain this risk within
acceptable

Price risk

Equity price risk is related to the change in market price of the investments in quoted equity
securities. The value of the financial instruments is not material and accordingly any change in the
value of these investments will not affect materially the profit or loss of the Company.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since, the Company has insignificant interest
bearing borrowings, the exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates is very low. The
Company has not used any interest rate derivatives.

The exposure of the Company to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as
under:

Interest rate sensitivity

No sensitivity analysis is prepared as the Company does not expect any material effect on the
Company''s results arising from the effects of reasonably

possible changes to interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the
reporting period.

Foreing Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises on future commercial transactions and on all recognised monetary
assets and liabilities, which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of
the Company. The Company''s management has set policy wherein exposure is identified,
benchmark is set and monitored closely, and accordingly suitable hedges are undertaken. Policy
also includes mandatory initial hedging requirements for exposure

There is no Foreign currency exposure for the company as on 31st March 2024.

Note 27(c) : Capital Management

For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity share
capital, securities premium and all other reserves attributable to the equity holders of the
Company. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to maximise the value
of the share and to reduce the cost of capital.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic
conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the Company can adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, issue new shares, etc.
