46. Financial risk management objectives and policies

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

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company''s risk management is undertaken by the senior management.

(A) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include Long term borrowings, Advances and deposits.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (where revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The value of foreign currency exposed risk is not material.

Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Company''s revenues from its operations. The following table details the Company''s sensitivity movement in the foreign currencies. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 2%. This 2% represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible

change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financials instruments. In management''s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed 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 sensitivity analysis below has 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 that the amount of the liability as at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 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 25 basis points higher/ lower, the Company''s profit for the year ended March 31,2025 would decrease/ increase by Rs.0.16 lakhs (2023-24: decrease/ increase by Rs. 0.21 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company''s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

(iii) Other Price risk

There is no security price risk since there is only investments in an wholly owned subsidiary.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from outstanding trade receivables and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and institutions and investments.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit/division based on the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has customer base across diverse industries.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company makes an allowance for doubtful debts using expected credit loss model and on a case to case basis. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

(C) Capital management

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

The Company''s objective when managing capital are to ensure their ability to continue as going concern, so that they can leverage maximise returns for shareholders and benefits of other stakeholders; and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital. Capital management and funding requirements is met through equity, internal accruals and long and short term debt instruments. The Company monitors capital management though gearing ratio which considers Debt (net of cash and cash equivalents) and equity.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements.

(D) Liquidity risk

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and bank loans . Rs. 235.74 lakhs of the Company''s borrowing will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: 287.77 lakhs) based on the carrying value of borrowings reflected in the financial statements.

46. Financial risk management objectives and policies

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

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s risk management is undertaken by the senior management.

(A) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include Long term borrowings, Advances and deposits.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (where revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The value of foreign currency exposed risk is not material.

Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Company’s revenues from its operations. The following table details the Company’s sensitivity movement in the foreign currencies. The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated for each currency by aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure of a currency and a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the foreign exchange rates of each currency by 2%. This 2% represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financials instruments. In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed 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 sensitivity analysis below has 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 that the amount of the liability as at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 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 25 basis points higher/ lower, the Company’s profit for the year ended March 31, 2024 would decrease/ increase by Rs.0.21 lakhs (2022-23: decrease/ increase by Rs. 0.26 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has customer base across diverse industries.

Rs. 289.77 lakhs of the Company’s borrowing will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: 230.89 lakhs) based on the carrying value of borrowings reflected in the financial statements.

Mar 31, 2023

3.11 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits 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 management''s best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. 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).

Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:

• A present obligation arising out of past events, when it is not probable that there will be an outflow of resources that will be required to settle the obligation.

• A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible.

• A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.

• Provisions, Contingent liabilities, Contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each Balance sheet date.

• Provision for litigation related obligation represents liabilities expected to materialise in respect of matters in appeal.

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 reimbursements will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

3.12 Exceptional Items:

On certain occasions, the size, the type or incidence of an item of expense or income, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, In that event such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in notes to the financial statements.

3.13 Financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

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 fair value through profit or loss) 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 fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Classification of financial assets:

Financial instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost if the asset is held within a business model/structure whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments on principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI if the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Financial assets which are not classified in any of the above categories are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit or loss.

Investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries

The Company measures its investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27. At transition date, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of such investments measured as per the previous GAAP and use such carrying value as its deemed cost.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company applies expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets not designated as at FVTPL.

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

a. the 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

b. full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).

De-recognition of financial assets:

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset''s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Effective interest method:

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts.

B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Equity instruments:

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a Company entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities:

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

• It has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

• It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading, may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the ''Other expense'' line item.

Gains or losses on financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company that are designated by the Company as at FVTPL are recognised in profit or loss.

3.14.5 Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost:

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the “Finance Costs” line item.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and are subsequently measured (if not designated as at Fair value though profit or loss) at the higher of:

• the amount of impairment loss allowance determined in accordance with requirements of Ind AS 109;

• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 18.

3.14.6 De-recognition of financial liabilities:

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange between a lender of debt instruments with subs7tantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the Company) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

4. Critical Accounting Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Company''s Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements that are not readily apparent from other sources. The judgements, estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors including estimation of effects of uncertain future events 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 (accounted on a prospective basis) and recognised 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 periods of the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the critical judgements and estimations that have been made by the Management in the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and/or key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

4.1.1 Taxation

Determining of income tax liabilities using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted requires the Management to estimate the level of tax that will be payable based upon the Company''s/ expert''s interpretation of applicable tax laws, relevant judicial pronouncements and an estimation of the likely outcome of any open tax assessments including litigations or closures thereof.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, unabsorbed depreciation and unused tax credits could be utilized.

In respect of other taxes which are in disputes, the Management estimates the level of tax that will be payable based upon the Company''s/ expert''s interpretation of applicable tax laws, relevant judicial pronouncements and an estimation of the likely outcome of any open tax assessments including litigations or closures thereof.

4.1.2 Provisions against receivables

The Management makes judgement based on experience regarding the level of provision required to account for potentially uncollectible receivables using information available at the balance sheet date.

13.1 Refer Note. 16(b) for current maturities of Non - Current Financial liabilities - borrowings.

13.2 Security details for borrowings in Note 13 and 18(a)

(a) Loan Sanctioned of Rs. 1,383 lakhs from Bank for acquisition of Land and building - Head Office is secured by the said immovable property and guaranteed by three directors

(b) Loan for acquisition of capital assets under deferred payment scheme is secured by hypothecation of related capital assets and guaranteed by Managing Director.

(c) (i) Line of Credit loans in earlier year and for part of the current year was secured by second

charge of assets purchased under deferred payment scheme to the extent of Rs. 114 lakhs and first charge on the book debts and other movable assets of the company both current and future, land and structures thereon at Container Freight Station and guaranteed by three Directors for Rs. 177 lakhs

(ii) Line of Credit loans as at March 31,2023 is secured by second ranking charge over existing primary and collateral securities including mortgages created in favour of the Bankers.

16.1 Security details: Cash credit facility is secured by first charge on the book debts and other movable assets of the company both current and future, land and structures thereon at Container Freight Station .

16.2 The company has been sanctioned working capital limits in excess of five crores, in aggregate, by banks or financial institutions on the basis of security of current assets and the quarterly returns or statements, as revised, filed by the company during the year with such banks or financial institutions are materially in agreement with the books of account of the Company

16.3 The Company has not been declared as wilful defaulter by any bank or financial institution or other

lender.

Lea se terms are neg otiated o n an individual basis and contain a range of different terms and con ditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than that the company cannot provide the leased premises as security for its borrowings etc, nor can it be subleased without the permission of the lessor.

The lease payment are discounted using the company''s incremental borrowing rate @ 12.95% being the rate that the company would have to pay to borrow funds necessary to obtain as asset of similar value to ROU asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions .

The Company has taken assets on lease from Various lessors. In terms of the Ind As 116, the company has adopted ''modified retrospective approach'' and has recognised the ''Right of Use''(ROU) asset as the present value of unpaid lease payments and depreciated the same considering the lease term.

All other assets taken on lease by the Company has a lease term of 12 months or less (short term lease) and the Company has elected not to apply the requirements of the new standard to the same. Accordingly, there is no impact of the Ind As 116 on the results of the period with respect to short term leases.

Leasing arrangements

Operating leases related to leases of land with remaining lease term ranging from 62 months to 216 months.

41. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Obligation:

In terms of section 135 of the Companies Act 2013(the Act),the company has utilized the funds approved by the CSR committee on activities specified in Schedule VII of the Act by way of direct contribution.

ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed 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 sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates al the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming that the amount of the liability as at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 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 25 basis points higher/ lower, the Company''s profit for the year ended March 31, 2023 would decrease/ increase by Rs.0.26lakhs (2021-22: decrease/ increase by Rs. 0.35 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company''s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

iii) Other Price risk

There is no security price risk since there is only investments in an wholly owned subsidiary.

B) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from outstanding trade receivables and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and institutions and investments.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit/division based on the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has customer base across diverse industries.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company makes an allowance for doubtful debts using expected credit loss model and on a case to case basis. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

C) Liquidity risk

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and bank loans . Rs. 230.89 lakhs of the Company''s borrowing will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022: 348.40 lakhs ) based on the

13. Financial risk management objectives and policies

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

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company''s risk management is undertaken by the senior management under the guidelines and framework approved by the financial risk committee. The committee provides assurance to the Company''s senior management that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives which is reviewed and adopted by The Board of Directors for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.

A) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include Long term borrowings, Advances and deposits.

i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). Since the value of foreign currency exposed risk is not material, the Company has natural hedging where

ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed 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 sensitivity analysis below has 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 that the amount of the liability as at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 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 25 basis points higher/ lower, the Company''s profit for the year ended March 31, 2018 would decrease/ increase by Rs. 0.65 lakhs (2016-17: decrease/ increase by Rs. 0.85 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the Company''s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

iii) Other Price risk

There is no security price risk since there are only investments in wholly owned subsidiaries.

B) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from outstanding trade receivables and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and institutions and investments.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit based on the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has customer base across diverse industries.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The Company makes an allowance for doubtful debts using expected credit loss model and on a case to case basis. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

C) Liquidity risk

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and bank loans . Rs. 598.33 lakhs of the Company''s borrowing will mature in less than one year at 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 649.07 lakhs; 01 April 2016: Rs. 765.46 lakhs ) based on the carrying value of borrowings reflected in the financial statements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital limits from banks. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit which carry minimal mark to market risks.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at 31 March 2018.

Further, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity''s contracts with customers.
