3.11 Provisions

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present
obligation as a result of past event and 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.

If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Provisions are not discounted to their present value and
are determined based on the best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimates.

3.12 Contingent Liability

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed on
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of the Company or a
present obligation that is not recognized because it is not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in
extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot
be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability
but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

3.13 Contingent Asset

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only on

asset but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity

28.4 The trust is responsible for the governance of the plan.

28.5 Risk to the Plan

Following are the risk to which the plan exposes the entity :

A Actuarial Risk:

It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:

Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an
increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.

Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the
Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the
acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary
growth and discount rate.

Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption then
the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are
vested as at the resignation date.

B Investment Risk:

For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be
the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the
future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant
changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.

C Liquidity Risk:

Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits.
If some of such employees resign / retire from the Company there can be strain on the cash flows.

D Market Risk:

Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One
actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money.
An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This
assumption depends on the yields on the corporate / government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed
to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.

E Legislative Risk:

Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation
/ regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher
benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same
will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.

35.2 The Fair value of current financial assets and current trade payables measured at amortized cost, are considered to be the
same as their carrying amount as they are of short term nature. Hence fair value hierarchy is not given for the same.

35.3 The carrying amount of non - current financial assets and non - current financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in
the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the
carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled. Hence, fair
value hierarchy is not given for the same.

35.4 There are no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

35.5 Valuation technique and observable inputs used to determine fair value in level 2

The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (''NAV'') as stated by the issuers of these
mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will
issue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.

The fair value of investment in investment property are based on valuation report.

35.6 The fair value of investment in equity shares of Applewoods Estate private Limited is based on cost approach. Fair value of
net assets used as unobservable input to determine the fair value. 1% change in the unobservable input used in fair valuation
has insignificant impact.

36 Financial Risk Management

The Company''s activities expose it to variety of financial risks : market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s
focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial
performance. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk
management framework. The Board of Directors has established a risk management policy to identify and analyse the
risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk
management systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. The
Board of Directors oversee compliance with the Company''s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the risk
management framework.

A Market risk

The market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices. Market risk comprises currency risk, interest risk and other price risk.

i Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rate. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk due to import of materials. The
Company measures risk through sensitivity analysis. As on March 31, 2025 no material outstanding amount is payable
for purchase of imported material.

ii Other Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). The Company is exposed to price risk
mainly because of investments in mutual funds and equity share classified as fair value through profit and loss. The
Company measures risk through sensitivity analysis. The Company''s risk management policy is to mitigate the risk by
investments in diversified mutual funds.

C Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge
an obligation. Credit risk encompasses both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness.

Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investments in mutual funds,equity share, cash and
cash equivalent and other balances with banks.

In respect of trade receivables, credit risk is being managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit
limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal
course of business. All trade receivables are also reviewed and assessed for default on a regular basis. The concentration of
credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large. There is no customer representing more that 10% of total
balance of trade receivables.

Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds,equity share, cash and cash equivalent and other balances with bank is
limited as the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institution with high credit ratings.

The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date from trade receivables amounting to ''4563.45 Lakhs as on
March 31, 2025 and '' 4738.9 Lakhs as on March 31, 2024.

4 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:

4.1 Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general-purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

4.2 Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes

The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.

4.3 Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

29.4 The trust is responsible for the governance of the plan.

29.5 Risk to the Plan

Following are the risk to which the plan exposes the entity :

A Actuarial Risk:

It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:

Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.

Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cashflow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.

Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.

B Investment Risk:

For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.

C Liquidity Risk:

Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign / retire from the company there can be strain on the cashflows.

D Market Risk:

Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate / government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.

E Legislative Risk:

Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation / regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.

36.2 The Fair value of current financial assets, current trade payables and loan from related party, measured at amortised cost, are considered to be the same as their carrying amount as they are of short term nature. Hence fair value hierarchy is not given for the same.

36.3 The carrying amount of non - current financial assets and non - current financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled. Hence, fair value hierarchy is not given for the same.

36.4 There are no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year

36.5 Valuation technique and observable inputs used to determine fair value in level 2

The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (''NAV'') as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors

The fair value of investment in investment property are based on valuation report.

36.6 The fair value of investment in equity shares of Applewoods Estate private Limited is based on cost approach. Fair value of net assets used as unobservable input to determine the fair value. 1% change in the unobservable input used in fair valuation has insignificant impact.

3.5.2 Subsequent measurement

a. Non-derivative financial instruments

i Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

ii Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

For such equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

3.5.3 Derecognition

The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.A financial liability is derecognized when obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

3.5.4 Off-setting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when the company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amount and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.6 Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: In the principal market for the asset or liability, or In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefit by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels: Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - inputs are other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived prices)

Level 3 - inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumption that a re neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

3.7 Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax.

3.7.1 Current Tax

Current tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset, where company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 3.7.2 Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from initial recognition of goodwill; or initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax losses and carryforward of unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which those temporary differences, losses and tax credit can be utilized, except when deferred tax asset on deductible temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rules and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, where company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. 3.8 Impairment

3.8.1 Financial assets other than investments in subsidiaries and associates

The company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss.

Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit riskfrom initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime

ECL.

The impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income / expense in the statement of profit and loss.

3.8.2 Financial assets - investments in subsidiaries and associates

The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Such indication include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained decline in revenues or earnings and material adverse changes in the economic environment.

If any indication exists, the company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount based on value in use.

To calculate value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market rates and the risk specific to the asset

Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its value in use amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in statement of profit and loss."

3.8.3 Non-financial assets Tangible and intangible assets

The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists the company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount.

An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an assets net selling price and its value in use.The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

3.9 Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest and other costs that company has incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year they occur.

Investment income earned on temporary investment of specific borrowing pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

3.10 Employee Benefits

Short term employee benefits for salary and wages including accumulated leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which employees render the related service are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss.

The company measures the expected cost of absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. As per Company''s policy, no leave is expected to be carried forward beyond 12 months from the reporting date.

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund.

3.11 Provisions

A provision is recognized when the company has a present obligation as a result of past event and 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.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

3.12 Contingent Liability

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
