Accounting Policies of Share India Securities Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

Note 2: Material accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation
of these standalone financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Statement of compliances and basis of preparation
and presentation

a) Statement of compliance

These standalone financial statements (‘financial
statements'') of the Company have been prepared
in accordance with the Indian Accounting
Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS'')
as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA'')
under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013
(‘Act'') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other
relevant provisions of the Act. The Company has

uniformly applied the accounting policies during the
periods presented in these financial statements.

b) Basis of presentation

The Company presents the Balance Sheet, the
Statement of Profit and Loss and the statement of
Changes in Equity and disclosures are presented in
the format prescribed under Division III of Schedule
III to the Companies Act, 2013, as amended from
time to time, that are required to comply with Ind AS.

The financial statements were approved for issue
by the Board of Directors on May 23, 2025.

c) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on
going concern basis, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in India, as the
Management is satisfied that the Company shall
be able to continue its business for the foreseeable
future and no material uncertainty exists that
may cast significant doubt on the going concern
assumption. Further, the financial statements have
been prepared on accrual and historical cost basis,
except for the following:

• Certain Financial instruments are measured
at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding
Financial Instruments and fair value
measurement);

• Securities held for trading;

• Share based payments [refer note 2.16];

• Derivative Financial Instruments; and

• Defined benefit plans as per actuarial valuation

d) Functional and presentation currency

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian
Rupees which is also the functional currency
of the Company and all amount in the Financial
Statements are presented in '' lakhs, unless
otherwise stated. Certain amounts that are
required to be disclosed and do not appear due to
rounding-off are expressed as 0.00.

e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with Ind AS requires management to
make estimates, judgments, and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
(including contingent liabilities) and disclosures as
of the date of financial statements and the reported

amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis and could change from period to period.
Appropriate changes in estimates are recognized in
the period in which the Company becomes aware
of the changes in circumstances surrounding the
estimates. Any revisions to accounting estimates
are recognized prospectively in the period in which
the estimate is revised and future periods.

Information about each of these estimates and
judgments is included in the relevant notes together
with information about the basis of calculation for
each affected line item in the financial statements.
The areas involving estimates for judgments are:

(i) Estimation of defined benefit obligations;

(ii) Recognition of deferred tax assets, estimation
of current tax expense and current tax payable;

(iii) Estimation of provisions and contingencies;

(iv) Fair value of employee share options;

(v) Fair value of financial instruments including
unlisted equity instruments;

(vi) Impairment of financial instruments;

(vii) Determination of useful life of Property, plant
and equipment & Investment property and
method of depreciation;

(viii) Determination of useful life of Intangible asset
and method of depreciation;

(ix) Effective interest rate;

(x) Evaluation of lease, lease term and
discount rates.

2.2 Property, plant and equipment (including Capital
work-in-progress)

Initial and Subsequent Recognition: Property, plant
and equipment (PPE) are stated at cost of acquisition
less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition
and installation of the assets. The cost of an item of PPE
is recognised as an asset, if, and only if, it is probable
that the economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company in future periods, and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. Expenditure incurred
after the PPE have been put into operations, such as
repair and maintenance expenses, are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss, during the period in which
they are incurred.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is
significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that
part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset,
then useful life of that significant part is determined
separately and such asset component is depreciated
over its separate useful life.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant
and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date
is classified as capital advances under other non-financial
assets and PPE which are not ready for intended use as
on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital
work-in-progress. Capital work-in-progress is stated at
cost comprising direct costs, related incidental expenses,
other directly attributable costs and borrowings costs,
net of accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations,
not necessary to bring the item to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in
the manner intended by management, are recognized in
Statement of profit and loss. Gains or losses arising on
retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment
are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying
amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Company and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of any component accounted for as a separate
asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and
Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and
residual value:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the
depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
The entity selects the method that most closely reflects
the expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the asset.

Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing balance
method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values,
over their estimated useful life prescribed under Schedule
II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company provides
pro-rata depreciation from the date of installation / asset
is ready for use till date the assets are sold or disposed.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter
of the remaining term of underlying lease or useful life of
underlying asset.

The residual values, estimated useful lives and methods
of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed at the end of each financial year and changes
if any, are accounted for on a prospective basis.

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an item of
property, plant and equipment is derecognized on
disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on
disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with
carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

2.3 Investment property

I nvestment property is property (land or building) held
(by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease)
to earn rentals or for capital appreciation (including
property under construction for such purposes) or both,
rather than for use in the production or supply of goods
or services or for administrative purposes or sale in the
ordinary course of business.

The company''s investment property consists of leasehold
residential land and those portions of building taken on
lease (right-of-use asset) which have been rented out for
period of less than 12 months.

Initial and Subsequent Measurement: Investment
properties are measured initially at their cost of acquisition.
The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost, if
capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable
cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
the intended use.

Investment properties are subsequently measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an item of
property is derecognised on disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item
of property is measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
item and is recognised in the statement of Profit and
Loss when the item is derecognised.

Depreciation and Useful life: Depreciation on
investment property is calculated using the straight-line
method to their residual values, over the useful life or
primary lease period whichever is less.

Though the Company measures investment property,
using cost-based measurement, the fair value of
investment property is disclosed in Note 13(a). Fair values
are determined based on an evaluation performed by an
accredited external independent valuer.

2.4 Non-current Assets held for sale

The Company classifies assets as held for sale if their
carrying amounts will be recovered principally through
a sale rather than through continuing use. Assets are
classified as held for sale only when the sale is highly
probable, and the asset is available for immediate sale in
its present condition subject only to terms that are usual
and customary for sale of such assets.

Assets which are subject to depreciation are not
depreciated or amortized once those are classified as
held for sale. These are measured at the lower of their
carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.
Assets and associated liabilities classified as held for
sale are presented separately in the balance sheet.

2.5 Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a
contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

a. Measurement and recognition of leases as a
Lessee:

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 ‘Leases''
from April 01, 2021 and recognized Right-of-use
assets for leases previously classified as operating
leases and measured at an amount equal to lease
liability (adjusted for related prepayments/ accruals).

I nitial & Subsequent Measurement: The lease
liability is initially measured at amortized cost at
the present value of the future lease payments.

The lease payments are discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily
determinable, using the incremental borrowing
rates in the country of domicile of the leases.
Lease liabilities are subsequently measured with a
corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-
use asset if the Company changes its assessment
on exercise of an extension or a termination option.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the
lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or prior to the commencement date of
the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease
incentives. Subsequently, these are measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, if any.

Depreciation and Impairment: The Company
depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line
basis from the lease commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use
asset or the end of the lease term. The Company
also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment
when such indicators exist.

Presentation: Lease Liability and Right-of-Use
Asset have been separately presented in the
Balance Sheet and lease payments have been
classified as financing cash flows.

Short - term/ Low value Leases: The Company
has elected to account for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets using the practical
expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use
asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to
these are recognized as an expense in Statement
of profit and loss on a systematic basis of lease
payment over the lease term.

b. Measurement and recognition of leases as a
Lessor:

As a lessor the Company identifies leases as
operating and finance lease. A lease is classified
as a finance lease if the Company transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an underlying asset.

For Finance leases- amounts due from lessees
are recorded as receivables at the Company''s net
investment in the leases. Finance lease income is
allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect
a constant periodic rate of return on the net
investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

For Operating leases - Rental income is
recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of
the relevant lease.

2.6 Intangible assets

Measurement at recognition: Intangible assets are
recognized where it is probable that the future economic
benefit attributable to the assets will flow to the Company
and its cost can be reliably measured.

I ntangible assets acquired separately are measured on
initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets arising on
acquisition of business are measured at fair value as at
date of acquisition.

Internally generated intangibles including research
cost are not capitalized and the related expenditure
is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss
in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Expenditure on the development of intangible assets,
eligible for capitalisation, are carried as Intangible assets
under development where such assets are not yet ready
for their intended use.

Subsequent Measurement: Intangible assets with
finite useful life are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if
any. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives,
that are acquired separately, are carried at cost/
fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated
impairment loss, if any.

Amortization: It is the systematic allocation of the
amortizable amount of an asset over its useful life.
Intangible Assets with finite lives are amortized on
straight line basis over the estimated useful economic
life. The amortization expense on intangible assets with
finite lives is recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss. The amortization period and the amortization
method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is
reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of
these expectations differ from previous estimates, such
change is accounted for as a change in an accounting
estimate. From the current financial year, the company
has shifted to straight-line basis method of amortization.

economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined
by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the
asset is derecognized.

2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether
there is any indication based on internal/external factors,
that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount
of the asset. The recoverable amount of asset is the
higher of its fair value or value in use. Value in use is
based on the estimated future cashflows, discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects the current market assessment of time value of
money and the risks specific to it. If such recoverable
amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced
to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as
an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications
that an impairment loss previously recognised may no
longer exist. An Impairment loss is reversed if there
has been a change in estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the
extent that the assets carrying amount would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no
impairment loss been recognised.

2.8 Inventories

The Company deals in Commodities (Agri and
Non-Agri), which is held for the purpose of trading.
The Company follows Ind AS 2 “Inventories” for
valuation of inventory held for trade. Accordingly, the
Company carries its inventories at the lower of Cost or
Net realizable value (NRV).

Cost includes purchase price, duties, transport and
handling costs and other costs directly attributable
to the acquisition and bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition.

2.9 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash
in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions,
other short-term, highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank borrowings are used for business purposes, and
hence bank overdrafts are not considered to be a part of
cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flow.

2.10 Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost
less accumulated impairment, if any, as per Ind AS
27 ‘Separate Financial Statements'' and Ind AS 36
‘Impairment of Assets''.

The company assesses at the end of each reporting
period if there are any indications of impairment on
such investments. If so, the company estimates the
recoverable amount of the investment and provides
for impairment.

2.11 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to
a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments
also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency
forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency
options, and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

a. Initial measurement: Financial assets and
financial liabilities are recognized when the entity
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument. Regular way purchases and sales
of financial assets are recognized on trade-date,
the date on which the Company commits to
purchase or sell the asset. Financial instruments
are initially measured at their fair value, except in
the case of financial assets and financial liabilities
recorded at FVPL, transaction costs are added to,
or subtracted from, this amount.

When the fair value of financial assets and
liabilities differs from the transaction price on
initial recognition, the entity recognizes the
difference as follows:

- When the fair value is evidenced by a quoted
price in an active market for an identical asset
or liability (i.e., a Level 1 input) or based on
a valuation technique that uses only data
from observable markets, the difference is
recognized as a gain or loss.

- I n all other cases, the difference is deferred
till the timing of recognition of deferred profit
or loss is determined individually. It is either
amortized over the life of the instrument,
deferred until the instrument''s fair value can
be determined using market observable
inputs, or realized through settlement.

When the Company revises the estimates of future
cash flows, the carrying amount of the respective
financial assets or financial liability is adjusted
to reflect the new estimate discounted using the
original effective interest rate. Any changes are
recognized in profit or loss.

b. Classification and subsequent measurement:
A. Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets
in the following measurement categories (i)
Amortized cost; (ii) Fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI), and (iii) Fair
value through profit or loss (FVPL).

i. Financial assets carried at amortized cost:

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost
if it meets both of the following conditions:

• the asset is held within a business model
whose objective is to hold assets to
collect contractual cash flows (Asset held
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 (SPPI) on the
principal amount outstanding.

This category generally applies to cash and
bank balances, trade and other receivables,
loans, security deposits etc. of the Company.

After initial measurement, such financial
assets are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate
(EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization
is included in interest income in the Statement
of Profit and Loss

ii. Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Financial assets that are held within a
business model whose objective is achieved
by both, selling financial assets and
collecting contractual cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest, are
subsequently measured at fair value through

other comprehensive income. Fair value
movements in debt and equity instruments
are recognised in the other comprehensive
income (OCI) except interest / dividend
income which is recognised in profit and loss.
However, in case of equity instruments, the
Company may, irrevocably elects to measure
the investments in equity instruments either at
FVOCI or FVPL and makes such election on an
instrument-by-instrument basis. If company
opts to measure the equity instruments at
FVOCI, such fair value movements will be
directly transferred to OCI.

iii. Financial assets at fair value through profit
and loss (FVPL)

Financial assets, which do not meet the criteria
for categorisation as at amortized cost or as
FVOCI or either designated, are measured at
FVPL. Subsequent changes in fair value are
recognised in profit or loss. The company
recognises the derivative financial asset
being the advance premium paid on the
Options, future''s MTM profit and Securities for
trade - at FVPL.

B. Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities
in the following measurement categories (i)
Amortized cost, and (ii) Fair value through
profit or loss (FVPL).

Financial liabilities are classified at FVPL
when the financial liability is recognised
by the company on account of business
combination (Ind AS 103) or is held for trading
or is designated as FVPL. In all other cases,
they are measured at amortized cost.

i. Financial Liabilities carried at amortized
cost

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured
at amortized cost using the EIR method.
The EIR is a method of calculating the
amortized cost of a financial liability and of
allocating interest expense over the relevant
period at effective interest rate. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash payments through the
expected life of the financial liability, or, where
appropriate, a shorter period.

ii. Financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit
and loss are measured at fair value with
all changes recognized in the statement of
profit and loss. The company recognises
the derivative financial liability being advance
premium received on the Options, Future''s
MTM loss at FVPL.

c. Derecognition

A. Financial asset:

Financial asset is derecognised when:

- The rights to receive cash flows from the
asset have expired, or

- The Company has transferred its rights
to receive cash flows from the asset
and either (a) company has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of
the asset, or (b) the Company has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all
the risks and rewards of the asset, but
has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its
rights to receive cash flows from an asset,
it evaluates if and to what extent it has
retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
When it has transferred substantially all risks
and rewards, the company derecognise the
asset and, when it has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all of the risks and
rewards of the asset, nor transferred control
of the asset, the Company continues to
recognise the transferred asset to the extent
of the Company''s continuing involvement.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the
difference between the carrying amount of
the asset (or the carrying amount allocated
to the portion of the asset derecognised)
and the sum of (i) the consideration received
(including any new asset obtained less any
new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative
gain or loss that had been recognised in OCI,
is recognised in profit or loss (except for equity
instruments measured at FVOCI). For Equity
Instruments at FVOCI, the realised amount
of gain/(loss) on their disposal is then finally
transferred from OCI to retained earnings.

B. Financial liability:

A financial liability is derecognised when the
obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial
liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification
is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss.

d. Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified
approaches to measure Expected Credit Losses
(ECLs) for trade receivables at an amount equal
to lifetime ECLs. The ECLs on trade receivables
are calculated based on actual historic credit
loss experience over the preceding three to five
years on the total balance of non-credit impaired
trade receivables. The Company considers a
trade receivable to be credit impaired when one
or more detrimental events have occurred, such
as significant financial difficulty of the client or
it becoming probable that the client will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganization.
When a trade receivable is credit impaired, it is
written off against trade receivables and the amount
of the loss is recognised in the income statement.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited to the income statement.

The Company recognises impairment allowances
using ECL method on the financial assets that are
not measured at FVPL:

ECL are probability-weighted estimate of credit
losses. They are measured as follows:

i. Financial assets that are not credit impaired
- at the present value of all cash shortfalls
that are possible within 12 months after the
reporting date.

ii. Financial assets with significant increase
in credit risk - at the present value of all
cash shortfalls that result from all possible
default events over the expected life of the
financial assets.

iii. Financial assets that are credit impaired - at the
difference between the gross carrying amount
and the present value of estimated cash flows.

Financial assets are written off/fully provided for
when there is no realistic prospect of recovering a
financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.
However, financial assets that are written off
could still be subject to enforcement activities
under the Company''s recovery procedures, taking
into account legal advice where appropriate.
Any recoveries made are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

e. Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the
net amount is reported in the balance sheet where
there is a legally enforceable right to offset the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable
right must not be contingent on future events
and must be enforceable in the normal course of
business and in the event of default, insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

f. Securities for trade

The Company deals in Equity Shares (in addition to
Derivatives) which is held for the purpose of trading.
Such Securities for trade are valued at Fair value in
accordance with Ind AS 109 and such securities
are classified at fair value through Profit and loss.

g. Investment in Equity Shares, Mutual Funds
and AIFs

Company also invests in Securities like Equity
shares, Mutual fund and AIF (Alternate Investment
Fund) other than held for trade or, held for strategic
purpose. In respect of such financials instruments,
company decides to measure them, at the time
of initial recognition, at FVPL or FVOCI based on
management assessment.

h. Hedging of Foreign Currency Risk

The company uses derivative financial instruments,
such as Future Currency contracts to hedge its
foreign currency risks. Such derivative instruments
are measured at fair value. These derivatives are
carried as financial asset when fair value is positive
and as financial liability when fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the

fair value of such derivatives are taken directly to
profit and loss.

2.12 Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments such as
derivatives, securities for trade, at fair value at each
balance sheet date.

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 is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability
takes place either:

i. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

ii. I n the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability
accessible to the Company.

Fair value measurements are categorized as under
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 based on the degree to
which the inputs to the fair value measurements are
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair
value measurement in its entity.

I nformation about the valuation techniques and inputs
used in determining the fair value of various assets and
liabilities are disclosed in Note 56.

2.13 Revenue Recognition

Revenue (other than for those items to which Ind
AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments'' are applicable) is
measured at fair value of the consideration received
or receivable. The Company recognises revenue from
contracts with customers based on a five-step model
as set out in Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with
Customers'', to determine when to recognize revenue
and at what amount. Revenue is measured based on the
consideration specified in the contract with a customer.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised
when services are provided and it is highly probable that
a significant reversal of revenue is not expected to occur.

Revenue is recognised when (or as) the Company
satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a
promised service or goods (i.e., an asset) to a customer.
An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains
control of that asset.

When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied,
the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of

the transaction price (excluding estimates of variable
consideration) that is allocated to that performance
obligation. The Company applies the five-step approach
for recognition of revenue: -

• Identification of contract(s) with customers;

• Identification of the separate performance

obligations in the contract;

• Determination of transaction price;

• Allocation of transaction price to the separate

performance obligations; and

• Recognition of revenue when (or as) each
performance obligation is satisfied.

i. Brokerage income

It is recognised on trade date basis and is

exclusive of Goods and Service Tax (GST),
Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and Stamp Duty,
wherever applicable.

ii. Interest income

Interest income on financial asset at amortized cost

is recognized on a time proportion basis.

iii. Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized in the statement of
profit and loss on the date that the Company''s right
to receive payment is established, it is probable
that the economic benefits associated with the
dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of
dividend can be reliably measured. This is generally
when the Board of Directors/shareholders approve
the dividend and company holds shares on the
dividend record date.

iv. Research Advisory income

Research advisory income is accounted for on an
accrual basis in accordance with the terms and
tenure of the respective agreements entered into
between the Company and the counter party.

v. Market making fees (Incentive Income)

Incentives from exchange are recognized on
point in time basis.

vi. Portfolio management commission income

Portfolio management commissions is recognised
on an accrual basis in accordance with the
terms and tenure of the agreement entered
with customers.

vii. Proprietary Income (Income from trading in
securities)

I nd AS 115 is not applicable on this income and
hence the revenue is recognised as per Ind
AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments'', as and when
trade is executed.

viii. Rental Income

Lease income from operating leases where the
Company is a lessor is recognized in income on
a straight-line basis over the lease term unless
the receipts are structured to increase in line with
expected general inflation to compensate for the
expected inflationary cost increases. The respective
leased assets are included in the balance sheet
based on their nature.

ix. Revenue from Depository Operation

The income is recognized on accrual basis and as
at the time when the right to receive is established
by the reporting date.

x. Other Income

Other Income have been recognized on accrual
basis in the Financial Statements, except when
there is uncertainty of collection.

2.14 Income Taxes

The income tax expense comprises current and deferred
tax incurred by the Company. Income tax expense is
recognised in the income statement except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity
or OCI, in which case the tax effect is recognised in
equity or OCI. Income tax payable on profits is based
on the applicable tax laws in each tax jurisdiction and
is recognised as an expense in the period in which
profit arises. Income taxes recognised in any year
consists of following:

a. Current Tax: Current tax is the expected tax
payable/receivable on the taxable income or
loss for the period, using tax rates enacted for
the reporting period and any adjustment to tax
payable/receivable in respect of previous years.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if,
the Company has a legally enforceable right to set
off the recognised amounts; and intends either to
settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.

b. Deferred Tax:

i. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of
temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purpose and the amounts for tax
purposes. The measurement of deferred tax
reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the Company
expects, at the reporting date, to recover
or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.

ii. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised
for all taxable temporary differences and
deferred tax assets are recognised, for all
deductible temporary differences, to the
extent it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which deductible
temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
are expected to be applied to the temporary
differences when they reverse, based on the
laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the reporting date. 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, such reductions are reversed
when the probability of future taxable
profits improves.

iii. The tax effects of income tax losses available
for carry forward, are recognised as deferred
tax asset, when it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which
these losses can be set-off.

iv. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are
re-assessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow
the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

v. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax assets and liabilities and
when the deferred tax balances relate to the
same taxation authority.

2.15 Retirement and other employee benefits
a. Short-term obligations:

Short-term employee benefits comprise of
employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. and are
recognised as an expense at the undiscounted
amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the
year in which the related services are rendered.

The Company recognises the costs of bonus
payments when it has a present obligation to make
such payments as a result of past events and a
reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

b. Post-employment obligations:

Post-employment benefit plans are classified into
defined benefit plans and defined contribution
plans as under: -

i. Defined contribution plan: Contribution
made to the recognised provident fund,
employees state insurance scheme etc.
which are defined contribution plans, is
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss
in the period in which they occur.

ii. Defined benefits plan: The Company has
unfunded gratuity as defined benefit plan
where the amount that an employee will
receive on separation/retirement is defined by
reference to the employee''s length of service
and final salary. The defined benefit obligation
is calculated at or near the Balance Sheet date
by an independent actuary using the projected
unit credit method. The liability recognised in
the Balance Sheet in respect of gratuity is the
present value of defined benefit obligation
at the Balance Sheet date together with the
adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gain or
losses and the past service costs. The change
in the liability between the reporting dates is
charged in the Statement of profit and loss
(except for the unrealised actuarial gains and
losses). Actuarial gains and losses comprise
experience adjustment and the effects
of changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognized in the period in which they occur,
directly in other comprehensive income.

An actuarial valuation involves making various
assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the
determination of the discount rate; future salary
increases; attrition and mortality rates. Due to
the complexities involved in the valuation and its
long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is
highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.
All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

2.16 Share based payments

Employees Stock Option Scheme (Equity-settled
transactions)

The Company grants share-based awards to eligible
employees [of the company and/or of the subsidiaries/
associates under the group] with a view to attract and

retain talent, align individual performance with the
Company''s objectives, and provide an incentive to
continue contributing to the success of the Company.
The Company has two Employee Stock Option Schemes
viz. Share India Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2022
(ESOS 2022) and Share India Employees Stock Option
Scheme-II (ESOS-II).

Employees (including senior executives) of the
Company receive remuneration in the form of
share-based payments, whereby employees render
services as consideration for equity instruments
(equity-settled transactions).

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based
payment arrangements granted to employees under the
Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS'') is generally
recognised as an employee stock option scheme
expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards.
Such fair valuation is calculated using appropriate
Valuation Model. The increase in equity is presented as
“Equity-settled Share options outstanding Reserve”, as
separate component in equity.

In respect of Stock Options granted to the employees of
the subsidiary/associate, the fair value is recognised with
debit to the Investment in Subsidiary/Associate [instead
of recording an expense] with a corresponding increase
in equity, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period
of the awards. Such increase in equity is presented as
“Equity-settled Share options outstanding Reserve”, as
a separate component in equity.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not
taken into account when determining the grant date fair
value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being
met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate
of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately
vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within
the grant date fair value. No expense is recognized for
awards that do not ultimately vest because performance
and/or service conditions have not been met. At the end
of each period, the Company revises its estimates of
the number of options that are expected to be vested
based on the non-market performance conditions at
the vesting date.

When the terms of an equity-settled awards are modified,
the minimum expense recognised is the expense had
the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the
award are met. An additional expense is recognised for
any modification that increases the total fair value of
the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise
beneficial to the employee as measured at the date
of modification.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as
additional share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.

2.17 Borrowing Costs

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 capitalised as part of the cost of
the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the
period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of
interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection
with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also
includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as
an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

Note 2 Material accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these standalone financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Statement of compliances and basis of preparation and presentation

a.) Statement of compliance

These standalone financial statements (‘financial statements'') of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS'') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA'') under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act'') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The Company has uniformly applied the accounting policies during the periods presented in these financial statements.

b. ) Basis of presentation

The Company presents the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Statement of Changes in Equity in the order of liquidity as per the format prescribed under Division III of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on May 09, 2024.

c. ) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, as the Management is satisfied that the Company shall be able to continue its business for the foreseeable future and no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the going concern assumption. Further, the financial statements have been prepared on accrual and historical cost basis, except for the following:

• Certain Financial instruments are measured

at fair value (refer accounting policy

regarding Financial instruments and fair value measurement);

• Securities held for trading;

• Share based payments (refer note 2.15)

• Derivative Financial Instruments; and

• Defined benefit plans as per acturial valuation

d. ) Functional and presentation currency

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is also the functional currency of the Company and all amount in the Financial Statements are presented in '' Lacs, unless otherwise stated. Certain amounts that are required to be disclosed and do not appear due to rounding-off are expressed as 0.00.

e. ) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and disclosures as of the date of financial statements and the

reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period to period. Appropriate changes in estimates are recognised in the period in which the Company becomes aware of the changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods.

Information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in the relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements. The areas involving estimates for judgments are:

(i) Estimation of defined benefit obligations

(ii) Recognition of deferred tax assets, estimation of current tax expense and current tax payable

(iii) Estimation of provisions and contingencies

(iv) Fair value of employee share options

(v) Fair value of financial instruments including unlisted equity instruments

(vi) Impairment of financial instruments

(vii) Determination of useful life of Property, Plant and Equipments, & Investment property and method of depreciation

(viii) Determination of useful life of Intangible asset and method of depreciation

(ix) Effective interest rate

(x) Evaluation of lease, lease term and discount rates.

2.2 Property, plant and equipment

I nitial And Subsequent Recognition: Land is carried at historical cost. All other Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the assets. The cost of an item of PPE is recognised as an asset, if, and only if, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company in future periods, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Expenditure incurred after the PPE have been put into operations, such as repair and maintenance expenses, are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss, during the period in which they are incurred.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, then useful life of that significant part is determined separately, and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of profit and loss. Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful life and residual value:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The entity selects the method that most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing balance method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company provides pro-rata depreciation from the date of installation / asset is ready for use till date the assets are sold or disposed. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the term of underlying lease.

The residual values, estimated useful life and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each financial year and changes if any, are accounted for on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful life of items of Property, Plant and Equipments are as follows:-
Assets	Useful life
Building	60 years
Computer	3 Years
Server	6 Years
Motor Car	8 Years
Motor Bike	10 Years
Electrical Equipment	10 Years
Furniture, Fittings & Fixtures	10 Years
Office Equipment	5 Years
Plant & Machinery	15 Years

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

2.3 Investment Property

Investment property is property (land or building) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes) or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or sale in the ordinary course of business.

The company''s investment property consists of leasehold residential land and those portion of building taken on lease (right-of-use asset) which have been rented out for period of less than 12 months.

Initial and Subsequent Measurement: Investment properties are measured initially at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost, if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.

Investment properties are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an item of property is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the

item and is recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss when the item is derecognised.

Depreciation and Useful life: Depreciation on investment property (excluding the leasehold land) is calculated using the straight-line method to their residual values, over the useful life or primary lease period whichever is less.

Though the Company measures investment property, using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in Note 15(a). Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer.

2.4 Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

a. Measurement and recognition of leases as a Lessee:

The Company has adopted Ind AS-116 “Leases” using the cumulative catch-up approach. Company has recognised Right-of-use assets as at April 01,2021 for leases previously classified as operating leases and measured at an amount equal to lease liability (adjusted for related prepayments/ accruals).

I nitial & Subsequent Measurement: The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the Company changes its assessment on exercise of an extension or a termination option.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. Subsequently, these are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation and Impairment: The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the

earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.

Lease Liability and Right-of-Use Asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in Statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis of lease payment over the lease term.

b. Measurement and recognition of leases as a Lessor

As a lessor the Company identifies leases as operating and finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.

For Finance leases- amounts due from lessees are recorded as receivables at the Company''s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

For Operating leases - Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.5 Intangible assets

Measurement at recognition: Intangible assets are recognised where it is probable that the future economic benefit attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and its cost can be reliably measured.

I ntangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets arising on acquisition of business are measured at fair value as at date of acquisition.

Internally generated intangibles including research cost are not capitalized and the related expenditure is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Expenditure on the development of intangible assets, eligible for capitalisation, are carried

as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.

Subsequent Measurement: Intangible assets with finite useful life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life, that are acquired separately, are carried at cost/fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Amortisation: It is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

Intangible Assets with finite lives are amortised on a diminishing basis over the estimated useful economic life. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite life is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The amortisation period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of these expectations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

Estimated useful life of items of Intangible Assets are as follows:-

Assets	Useful life
Computer Software	5 years

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the Disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal / external factors, that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of asset is the higher of its fair value or value in use. Value in use is based on the estimated future cashflows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of time value of money and the risks specific to it. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assets carrying amount would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation had no impairment loss been recognised.

2.7 Inventories

The Company deals in Commodities (Agri and Non-Agri), which is held for the purpose of trading. The Company follows Ind AS-2 “Inventories” for valuation of inventory held for trade. Accordingly, the Company carries its inventories at the lower of Cost or Net realisable value.

Cost includes purchase price, duties, transport and handling costs and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank borrowings are used for business purposes, and hence bank overdrafts are not considered to be a part of cash and cash equivalents in statement of cash flow.

2.9 Investments in subsidiaries and associates

I nvestments in subsidiaries and associate are measured at cost less accumulated impairment, if any, as per Ind AS-27 ‘Separate Financial Statements''.

The company assesses at the end of each reporting period if there are any indications of impairment on such investments. If so, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the investment and provides for impairment.

2.10 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

a.) Initial measurement: Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a

party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at FVPL, transaction costs are added to, or subtracted from, this amount.

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities differs from the transaction price on initial recognition, the entity recognizes the difference as follows:

- When the fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, the difference is recognised as a gain or loss.

- In all other cases, the difference is deferred till the timing of recognition of deferred profit or loss is determined individually. It is either amortised over the life of the instrument, deferred until the instrument’s fair value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realised through settlement.

When the Company revises the estimates of future cash flows, the carrying amount of the respective financial assets or financial liability is adjusted to reflect the new estimate discounted using the original effective interest rate. Any changes are recognised in profit or loss.

b.) Classification and subsequent measurement: A. Financial Asset

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i) Amortised cost,

ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’), and

iii) Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVPL’)

i.) Financial assets carried at amortised cost:

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions:

• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows (‘Asset held 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 (‘SPPI'') on the principal amount outstanding

This category generally applies to cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, loans, securities deposits etc. of the Company.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in the Statement of Profit and Loss

ii. ) Financial assets at fair value through other

comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements in debt and equity instruments are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI) except interest / dividend income which is recognised in profit and loss. However, in case of equity instruments, the Company may, irrevocably elects to measure the investments in equity instruments either at FVOCI or FVPL and makes such election on an instrument-byinstrument basis. If company opts to measure the equity instruments at FVOCI, such fair value movements will be directly transferred to OCI.

iii. ) Financial assets at fair value through profit

or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets, which do not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI or either designated, are measured at FVPL. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. The company recognises the derivative financial asset being the advance premium paid on the Options, future''s MTM profit and Securities for trade - at FVPL.

B. Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:

i) Amortised cost, and

ii) Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVPL'')

Financial liabilities are classified at FVPL when the financial liability is recognised by the company on account of business combination (Ind AS-103) or is held for trading or is designated as FVPL.

In all other cases, they are measured at amortised cost.

i. ) Financial Liabilities carried at amortised

cost:

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

ii. ) Financial liabilities at Fair value through

Profit or Loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The company recognises the derivative financial liability being advance premium received on the Options, Future''s MTM loss at FVPL.

c.) Derecognition

A. Financial Asset:

Financial asset is derecognised when:

- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards, the company derecognise the asset and, when it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognised) and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in OCI, is recognised in profit or loss (except for equity instruments measured at FVOCI). For Equity Instruments at FVOCI, the realised amount of gain/(loss) on their disposal is then finally transferred from OCI to retained earnings.

B. Financial Liability:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

d.) Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies the Ind AS-109 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The ECLs on trade receivables are calculated based on actual historic credit loss experience over the preceding three to five years on the total balance of non-credit impaired trade receivables. The Company considers a trade receivable to be credit impaired when one or more detrimental events have occurred, such as significant financial difficulty of the client or it becoming probable that the client will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. When a trade receivable is credit impaired, it is written off against trade receivables and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the income statement.

The Company recognises impairment allowances using Expected Credit Losses (“ECL”) method on the financial assets that are not measured at FVPL:

ECL are probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. They are measured as follows:

i. Financials assets that are not credit impaired - at the present value of all cash shortfalls that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

ii. Financials assets with significant increase in credit risk - at the present value of all cash shortfalls that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial assets.

iii. Financials assets that are credit impaired - at the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows.

Financial assets are written off / fully provided for when there is no realistic prospect of recovering a financial assets in its entirety or a portion thereof.

However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company''s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

e.) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

f. ) Securities for trade

The Company deals in Equity Shares (in addition to Derivatives) which is held for the purpose of trading. Such Securities for trade are valued at Fair value in accordance with IndAS 109 and such securities are classified at fair value through Profit or loss.

g. ) Investment in Equity Shares and Mutual Fund

Company also invests in Securities like Equity shares, Mutual fund other than held for trade or, held for strategic purpose. In respect of such financials instruments, company decides to measure them, at the time of initial recognition, at FVPL or FVOCI based on management assessment.

h. ) Hedging of Foreign Currency Risk

The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as Future Currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative instruments are measured at fair value. These derivatives are carried as financial asset when fair value is positive and as finanical liability when fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of such derivatives are taken directly to profit & loss.

2.11 Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives, securities for trade, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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 is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

ii) I n the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability accessible to the Company.

Fair value measurements are categorized as under Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 54.

2.12 Revenue Recognition

Revenue (other than for those items to which Ind AS-109 “Financial Instruments” are applicable) is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers based on a five step model as set out in Ind AS-115 “Revenue from Contract with Customers”, to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when services are provided and it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue is not expected to occur.

Revenue is recognised when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service or goods (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.

When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price (excluding estimates of variable consideration) that is allocated to that performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step approach for recognition of revenue:-

• Identification of contract(s) with customers;

• Identification of the separate performance obligations in the contract;

• Determination of transaction price;

• Allocation of transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and

• Recognition of revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

(i) Brokerage income

It is recognised on trade date basis and is exclusive of Goods and Service Tax (GST), Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and Stamp Duty, wherever applicable.

(ii) Interest income

I nterest income on finanical asset at amortised cost is recognised on a time proportion basis.

(iii) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss on the date that the Company''s right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of dividend can be reliably measured. This is generally when the Board of Directors/shareholders approve the dividend and company holds shares on the dividend record date.

(iv) Research Advisory income

Research advisory income is accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms and tenure of the respective agreements entered into between the Company and the counter party.

(v) Market making fees (Incentive Income)

Incentives from exchange are recognised on point in time basis.

(vi) Portfolio management commission income

Portfolio management commissions is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms and tenure of the agreement entered with customers.

(vii) Proprietary Income (Income from trading in securities)

Ind AS-115 is not applicable on this income and hence the revenue is recognised as per Ind AS-109 “Financial Instruments”, as and when trade is executed.

(viii) Rental Income

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

(ix) Revenue from Depository Operation

The income is recognised on accrual basis and as at the time when the right to receive is established by the reporting date.

(x) Other Income

Other Income have been recognised on accrual basis in the Financial Statements, except when there is uncertainity of collection.

2.13 Income Taxes

The income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax incurred by the Company. Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or OCI, in which case the tax effect is recognised in equity or OCI. Income tax payable on profits is based on the applicable

tax laws in each tax jurisdiction and is recognised as an

expense in the period in which profit arises. Income taxes

recognised in any year consists of following:

a. ) Current Tax: Current tax is the expected tax

payable/receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted for the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable/receivable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

b. ) Deferred Tax: Deferred tax is recognised in respect

of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the amounts for tax purposes. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised, for all deductible temporary differences, to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 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 realised such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

The tax effects of income tax losses available for carry forward, are recognised as deferred tax asset, when it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these losses can be set-off.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current

tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

2.14 Retirement and other employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Short-term employee benefits comprise of employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. and are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year in which the related services are rendered. The Company recognises the costs of bonus payments when it has a present obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

(ii) Post-employment obligations:

Post-employment benefit plans are classified into defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans as under:-

Defined contribution plan: Contribution made to the recognised provident fund, employees state insurance scheme etc. which are defined contribution plans, is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.

Defined benefits plan: The Company has unfunded gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on seperation/ retirement is defined by reference to the employee''s length of service and final salary. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at or near the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of defined benefit obligation at the Balance Sheet date together with the adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gain or losses and the past service costs. The change in the liability between the reporting dates is charged in the Statement of profit and loss (except for the unrealised actuarial gains and losses). Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustment and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature,

a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.

2.15 Share based payments:

Employees Stock Option Scheme (Equity-settled transactions)

The Company grants share-based awards to eligible employees [of the company and/or of the subsidiaries/ associates under the group] with a view to attract and retain talent, align individual performance with the Company''s objectives, and provide an incentive to continue contributing to the success of the Company. The Company has two Employee Stock Option Schemes viz. Share India Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2022 (“ESOS 2022”) and Share India Employees Stock Option Scheme-II (“ESOS-II”).

Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees under the Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS'') is generally recognised as an employee stock option scheme expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Such fair valuation is calculated using appropriate Valuation Model. The increase in equity is presented as “Equity-settled Share options outstanding Reserve”, as separate component in equity.

I n respect of stock options granted to the employees of the subsidiary/associate entities, the fair value is recognised with debit to the investment in Subsidiary/ Associate entities [instead of recording an expense] with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Such increase in equity is presented as “Equity-settled Share options outstanding Reserve”, as separate component in equity.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because performance and/or service conditions have not been met. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of

the number of options that are expected to be vested based on the non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

When the terms of an equity-settled awards are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

2.16 Borrowing Costs

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 capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

2.17 Provisions and contingencies:

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. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events

not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

2.18 Dividends

The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to its equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.

2.19 Foreign currency transactions and translations Initial recognition: Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Conversion: Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, which are outstanding as at the reporting date, are translated at the reporting date at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rates as at the date of recognition.

2.20 Earnings per share

a) . Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period (excluding other comprehensive income) attributable to equity share holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year. Also, adjustments are made for any bonus elements in respect of bonus issue or the bonus element in Right issue, if any.

b) . Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of

shares outstanding during the period as adjusted for the effects of all diluted potential equity shares like ESOPs, Share warrants, etc. except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.21 Statement of Cash Flows:

Cash flow statement is prepared segregating the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow is reported using indirect method as per the requirements of Ind AS-7 (“Cash flow statements”), whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows.

2.22 Segment Reporting

The segment reporting is prepared in accordance with Ind AS-108, “Operating Segment” (specified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rule 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provision of the Act).

The Company''s business is to provide broking services, to its clients, in the capital markets in India and also to do proprietary trading in derivative and cash market. All other activities of the Company are ancillary to the main business.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM'') monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.

The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and expenditure of individual segments.

Revenue and expense in relation to segments are categorized based on items that can be individually identifiable to that segment on the basis of relationship

to operating activities of the segment. Revenue and expenses which relate to enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to a segment on reasonable basis have been disclosed as “unallocable”.

Segment assets and segment liabilities represent assets and liabilities in respective segments. Investments, tax related assets, borrowings and other assets and liabilities that can not be allocated to a segment on reasonable basis have been disclosed as “unallocable”.

2.23 Write-offs

The Company reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the client or borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subjected to write-offs. Any subsequent recoveries against such loans are credited to the statement of profit and loss.

2.24 Exceptional Items

The Company recognises exceptional item when items of income and expenses within Statement of Profit and Loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period.

2.25 Events after reporting date

Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.

2.26 Standards issued but not effective

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the company. The standards or amendments (wherever applicable) issued till date have been complied by the company.

Note 2 Significant Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Statement of compliances and basis of preparation and presentation

a.) Statement of compliance

These standalone financial statements (‘financial statements'') of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS'') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA'') under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act'') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The Company has uniformly applied the accounting policies during the periods presented in these financial statements.

b. ) Basis of presentation

The Company is covered in the definition of non-banking financial company as defined in Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016. The Company presents the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the statement of Changes in Equity in the order of liquidity as per the format prescribed under Division III of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. The format and figures in the statement of profit and loss and balance sheet of the previous period in the financial statements have been accordingly restated and reclassified to conform to the new format. There is no impact on Equity or Net Profit due to these regrouping / reclassifications. The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on May 19, 2023.

c. ) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India, as the Management is satisfied that the Company shall be able to continue its business for the foreseeable future and no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the going concern assumption. Further, the financial statements have been prepared on accrual and historical cost basis, except for the following:

• Certain Financial instruments are measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding Financial Instruments and fair value measurement);

• Securities held for trading;

• Share based payments (refer note 2.15)

• Derivative Financial Instruments; and

• Defined benefit plans as per actuarial valuation

d. ) Functional and presentation currency

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is also the functional currency of the Company and all amount in the Financial Statements are presented in '' Lacs, unless otherwise stated. Certain amounts that are required to be disclosed and do not appear due to rounding-off are expressed as 0.00.

e.) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and disclosures as of the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period to period. Appropriate changes in estimates are recognized in the period in which the Company becomes aware of the changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods.

Information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in the relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements. The areas involving estimates for judgments are:

(i) Estimation of defined benefit obligations

(ii) Recognition of deferred tax assets, estimation of current tax expense and current tax payable

(iii) Estimation of provisions and contingencies

(iv) Fair value of employee share options

(v) Fair value of financial instruments including unlisted equity instruments

(vi) Impairment of financial instruments

(vii) Determination of useful life of Property, Plant and Equipments, & Investment property and method of depreciation

(viii) Determination of useful life of Intangible asset and method of depreciation

(ix) Effective interest rate

(x) Evaluation of lease, lease term and discount rates.

2.2 Property, plant and equipment

Initial And Subsequent Recognition: Land is carried at historical cost. All other Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditure that is directly

attributable to the acquisition and installation of the assets. The cost of an item of PPE is recognised as an asset, if, and only if, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company in future periods, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Expenditure incurred after the PPE have been put into operations, such as repair and maintenance expenses, are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss, during the period in which they are incurred.

Where cost of a part of an asset (asset component) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately, and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life. Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.

Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in Statement of profit and loss. Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value: Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The entity selects the method that most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing balance method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company provides pro-rata depreciation from the date of installation / asset is ready for use till date the assets are sold or disposed.

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the term of underlying lease. The residual values, estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each financial year and changes if any, are accounted for on a prospective basis. During the year, the company has changed the useful lives of some of its tangible assets based on the best estimates of its effective consumption and their economic benefits. Such change has been properly accounted for on prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of items of Property, Plant and Equipments are as follows:-

Assets	Useful life
Building	60 years
Computer	3 Years
Server	6 Years
Motor Car	8 Years
Motor Bike	10 Years
Electrical Equipment	10 Years
Furniture, Fittings & Fixtures	10 Years
Office Equipment	5 Years
Plant & Machinery	15 Years

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

2.3 Investment Property

Investment property is property (land or building) held (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes) or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or sale in the ordinary course of business.

The company''s investment property consists of leasehold residential land and those portion of building taken on lease (right-of-use asset) which have been rented out for period of less than 12 months.

Initial and Subsequent Measurement: Investment properties are measured initially at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost, if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset

to its working condition for the intended use. Investment properties are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an item of property is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and is recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss when the item is derecognised.

Depreciation and Useful life: Depreciation on investment property (excluding the leasehold land) is calculated using the straight-line method to their residual values, over the useful life or primary lease period whichever is less.

Though the Company measures investment property, using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in Note 15(a). Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer

2.4 Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

a. Measurement and recognition of leases as a Lessee:

The Company has adopted lnd AS 116 “Leases” using the cumulative catch-up approach. Company has recognized Right-of-use assets as at 1^st April, 2021 for leases previously classified as operating leases and measured at an amount equal to lease liability (adjusted for related prepayments/ accruals).

Initial & Subsequent Measurement: The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the Company changes its assessment

on exercise of an extension or a termination option. The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. Subsequently, these are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Amortisation and Impairment: The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.

Lease Liability and Right-of-Use Asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows. The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognized as an expense in Statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis of lease payment over the lease term.

b. Measurement and recognition of leases as a Lessor

As a lessor the Company identifies leases as operating and finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.

For Finance leases- amounts due from lessees are recorded as receivables at the Company''s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease. For Operating leases - Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2.5 Intangible assets

Measurement at recognition: Intangible assets

are recognized where it is probable that the future

economic benefit attributable to the assets will flow to

the Company and its cost can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets arising on acquisition of business are measured at fair value as at date of acquisition. Internally generated intangibles including research cost are not capitalized and the related expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Expenditure on the development of intangible assets, eligible for capitalisation, are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use. Following initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, that are acquired separately, are carried at cost/fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Amortisation: It is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. Intangible Assets with finite lives are amortised on a diminishing basis over the estimated useful economic life. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The amortisation period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed at the end of each financial year. If any of these expectations differ from previous estimates, such change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. Method of depreciation has been prospectively changed from “Straight line basis” in previous year to “Diminishing balance method” during current year. As the entity consider the diminishing balance method to closely reflects the pattern of consumption of future economic benefits associated with asset.

Estimated useful lives of items of Intangible Assets

Assets	Useful life
Computer Software	5 years

Derecognition: The carrying amount of an intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal / external factors, that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication

exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of asset is the higher of its fair value or value in use. Value in use is based on the estimated future cashflows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of time value of money and the risks specific to it. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assets carrying amount would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognised.

2.7 Inventories

The Company deals in Commodities (Agri and Non-Agri), which are held for the purpose of trading. The Company follows Ind AS-2 “’’Inventories”” for valuation of inventory held in trade. Accordingly, the Company carries its inventories at the lower Cost or Net realizable value. Cost includes purchase price, duties, transport and handling costs and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition and bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank borrowings are used for business purposes, and hence bank overdrafts are not considered to be a part of cash and cash equivalents in Cash flow statement

2.9 Investments in subsidiaries, associates

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less accumulated impairment, if any, as per IndAS 27 ‘Separate Financial Statements''. The company assesses at the end of each reporting period if there are any indications of impairment on such investments. If so, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the investment and provides for impairment.

2.10 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.

a. ) Initial measurement:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at FVTPL, transaction costs are added to, or subtracted from, this amount.

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities differs from the transaction price on initial recognition, the entity recognizes the difference as follows:

- When the fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a Level 1 input) or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, the difference is recognized as a gain or loss.

- I n all other cases, the difference is deferred till the timing of recognition of deferred profit or loss is determined individually. It is either amortized over the life of the instrument, deferred until the instrument''s fair value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realized through settlement.

When the Company revises the estimates of future cash flows, the carrying amount of the respective financial assets or financial liability is adjusted to reflect the new estimate discounted using the original effective interest rate. Any changes are recognized in profit or loss.

b. ) Classification and subsequent measurement:

A. Financial Asset

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

i) Amortised cost,

ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI''), and

iii) Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL'')

i. ) Financial assets carried at amortised cost:

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions:

• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows (‘Asset held 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 (‘SPPI'') on the principal amount outstanding

This category generally applies to cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, loans, securities deposits etc. of the Company.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in the Statement of Profit and Loss

ii. ) Financial assets at fair value through other

comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements in debt and equity instrument are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI) except interest / dividend income which is recognised in profit and loss. However, in case of equity instruments, the Company may, irrevocably elects to measure the investments in equity instruments either at FVOCI or FVTPL and makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. If company opts to measure the

equity instrument at FVOCI, such fair value movements will be directly transferred to OCI.

iii.) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets, which do not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI or either designated, are measured at FVTPL. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. The company recognises the derivative financial asset being the advance premium paid on the options, future''s MTM profit and Securities for trade - at FVTPL.

B. Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: i) Amortised cost, and ii) Fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL'')

Financial liabilities are classified at FVTPL when the financial liability is recognised by the company on account of business combination (IndAS 103) or is held for trading or is designated as FVTPL. In all other cases, they are measured at amortised cost.

i. ) Financial Liabilities carried at amortised cost:

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. The EIR is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period at effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

ii. ) Financial liabilities at Fair value through Profit

and Loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss. The company recognises the derivative financial liability being Future''s MTM loss at FVTPL.

c.) Derecognition

A. Financial Asset :

Financial asset is derecognised when: -The rights to receive cash flows from the

asset have expired, or - The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards, the company derecognise the asset and, when it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognised) and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in OCI, is recognised in profit or loss (except for equity instruments measured at FVOCI). For Equity Instruments at FVOCI, the realised amount of gain/(loss) on their disposal is then finally tranferred from OCI to retained earnings.

B. Financial Liability:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

d.) Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The ECLs on trade receivables are calculated based on actual historic credit loss experience over the preceding three to five years on the total balance of non-credit impaired trade receivables. The Company considers a trade receivable to be credit impaired when one or more detrimental events have occurred, such as significant financial difficulty of the client or it becoming probable that the client will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. When a trade receivable is credit impaired, it is written off against trade receivables and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the income statement.

The Company recognizes impairment allowances using Expected Credit Losses (“ECL”) method on all the financial assets that are not measured at FVTPL:

ECL are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses. They are measured as follows:

- Financial assets that are not credit impaired - as the present value of all cash shortfalls that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

- Financial assets with significant increase in credit risk - as the present value of all cash shortfalls that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial assets.

- Financial assets that are credit impaired - as the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows.

Financial assets are written off / fully provided for when there is no realistic prospect of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company''s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

e. ) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

f. ) Securities for trade

The Company deals in Equity Shares which are held for the purpose of trading. Such Securities are valued at Fair value in accordance with IndAS 109 and such securities are classified at fair value through Profit and loss.

g. ) Investment in Equity Shares and Mutual

Fund

Company also invests in Securities like Equity shares and mutual funds other than held for trade or, held for strategic purpose. In respect of such for a strategic financial instruments, company decides to measure them, at the time of initial recognition, at FVTPL or FVTOCI based on management intention.

h. ) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs, because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation. No such liability has arised on the company, till date.

i.) Hedging of Foreign Currency Risk

The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as Future Currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative instruments are measured at fair value. These derivatives are carried as financial assets when fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of such derivatives are taken directly to profit & loss.

2.11 Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives and securities for trade at fair value at fair value at each balance sheet date. 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 is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability accessible to the Company

Fair value measurements are categorized under Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entity. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 54.

2.12 Revenue Recognition

Revenue (other than for those items to which Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments are applicable) is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers based on a five step model as set out in Ind AS 115 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when services are provided and it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue is not expected to occur.

Revenue is recognised when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service or goods (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.

When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price (excluding estimates of variable consideration) that is allocated to that performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step approach for recognition of revenue:

• Identification of contract(s) with customers;

• Identification of the separate performance

obligations in the contract;

• Determination of transaction price;

• Allocation of transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and

• Recognition of revenue when (or as) each

performance obligation is satisfied.

(i) Brokerage income

It is recognised on trade date basis and is exclusive of Goods and Service Tax (GST), Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and Stamp Duty, wherever applicable.

(ii) Interest income

Interest income on financial assets at amortized cost is recognized on a time proportion basis.

(iii) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized in the statement of profit or loss on the date that the Company''s right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of dividend can be reliably measured. This is generally when the Board of Directors/ shareholders approve the dividend.

(iv) Research Advisory income

Research and advisory income is accounted for on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms and tenure of the respective agreements entered into between the Company and the counter party.

(v) Market making fees (Incentive Income)

Incentives from exchange are recognized on point in time basis.

(vi) Portfolio management commission income

Portfolio management commissions are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms and tenure of the agreement entered with customers.

(vii) Proprietary Income (Income from trading in securities)

Ind AS115 is not applicable to this income and hence the revenue is recognised as per Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments”, as and when trade is executed.

(viii) Rental Income

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

(ix) Revenue from Depository Operation

The income is recognized on accrual basis and as at the time when the right to receive is established by the reporting date.

(x) Other Income

Other Income have been recognized on an accrual basis in the Financial Statements, except when there is uncertainty of collection.

2.13 Income Taxes

The income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax incurred by the Company. Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or OCI, in which case the tax effect is recognised in equity or OCI. Income tax payable on profits is based on the applicable tax laws in each tax jurisdiction and is recognised as an expense in the period in which profit arises. Income taxes recognised in any year consists of following:

a.) Current Tax: Current tax is the expected tax payable/receivable on the taxable income or

loss for the period, using tax rates enacted for the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable/receivable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

b.) Deferred Tax: Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for tax purposes. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised, for all deductible temporary differences, to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 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, such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

The tax effects of income tax losses, available for carry forward, are recognised as deferred tax assets when it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these losses can be set-off. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

1.14 Retirement and other employee benefits (i) Short-term obligations

Short-term employee benefits comprise of employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. and are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit

and Loss for the year in which the related services are rendered. The Company recognises the costs of bonus payments when it has a present obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

(ii) Post-employment obligations:

Post-employment benefit plans are classified into defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans as under:-

Defined contribution plan: Contribution made to the recognised provident fund, employees state insurance scheme etc. which are defined contribution plans, is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.

Defined benefits plan: The Company has unfunded gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on separation/retirement is defined by reference to the employee''s length of service and final salary. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at or near the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of defined benefit obligation at the Balance Sheet date together with the adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gain or losses and the past service costs. The change in the liability between the reporting dates is charged in the Statement of profit and loss (except for the unrealised actuarial gains and losses). Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustment and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.”

2.15 Share based payments:

Employees Stock Option Scheme (Equity-settled transactions): The Company grants share-based awards to eligible employees with a view to attract

and retain talent, align individual performance with the Company''s objectives, and provide an incentive to continue contributing to the success of the Company. The Company has two Employee Stock Option Schemes viz. Share India Employees Stock Option Scheme, 2022 (“ESOP 2022”) and Share India Employees Stock Option Scheme-II (“ESOP-II”).

Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees under the Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS'') is generally recognised as an employee stock option scheme expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Such fair valuation is calculated using appropriate Valuation Model. The increase in equity is presented as “Equity-settled Share options outstanding Reserve”, as separate component in equity.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because performance and/or service conditions have not been met. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to be vested based on the non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

When the terms of an equity-settled awards are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

2.16 Borrowing Costs

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 capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

2.17 Provisions and contingencies:

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. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.

2.18 Dividends

The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to its equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.

2.19 Foreign currency transactions and translations

Initial recognition: Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Conversion: Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, which are outstanding as at the reporting date, are translated at the reporting date at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rates as at the date of recognition”

2.20 Earnings per share

a) . Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period (excluding other comprehensive income) attributable to equity share holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus element of right issue in equity shares issued during the year.

b) . Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period as adjusted for the effects of all diluted potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.

2.21 Statement of Cash Flows:

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the net profit for the effects of:

- changes during the period in operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature

- non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes and unrealised foreign currency gains and losses.

- all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

2.22 Segment Reporting

The segment reporting is prepared in accordance with Ind AS-108, “Operating Segment” (specified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rule 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provision of the Act).

The Company''s business is to provide broking services, to its clients, in the capital markets in India and also to do proprietary trading in derivative and cash market. All other activities of the Company are ancillary to the main business.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM'') monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.

The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and expenditure of individual segments.

Revenue and expense in relation to segments are categorized based on items that can be individually identifiable to that segment on the basis of relationship to operating activities of the segment. Revenue and expenses which relate to enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to a segment on reasonable basis have been disclosed as “unallocable”.

Segment assets and segment liabilities represent assets and liabilities in respective segments. Investments, tax related assets, borrowings and other assets and liabilities that can not be allocated to a segment on reasonable basis have been disclosed as “unallocable”.

2.23 Write-offs

The Company reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the client or borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subjected to write-offs. Any subsequent recoveries

against such loans are credited to the statement of profit and loss.

2.24 Exceptional Items

The Company recognises exceptional items when items of income and expenses within Statement of Profit and Loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period. Significant impact on the financial statements arising from impairment of investments in subsidiaries and associates, gain/ loss on disposal of subsidiaries and associates (other than major lines of business that meet the definition of a discontinued operation) are considered and reported as exceptional items.

2.25 Events after reporting date

Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.

2.26 Standards issued but not effective

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), vide notification dated 31^st March, 2023, notified Companies (Indian Accounting standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 (the ‘Rules'') which amends certain accounting standards, and are effective from 1 April 2023 :

a. Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial

Statements Company needs to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information is material if, together with other information can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements.

Mar 31, 2018

(a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements:

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India including Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 & the provision of the Companies Act.

The Financial Statements are prepared as a going concern on accrual basis under historical cost convention.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the Previous Year.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, accepted in India Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting year end. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revisions to the accounting estimates are recognized prospectively in the current and future years.

(c) Fixed assets and Depreciation/ Amortisation

(i) Tangible and Depreciation

Tangible and intangible fixed assets are stated at cost , less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment losses,if any. The cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use . Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in ariving at the purchase price.

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on Written Down Value based on useful life as prescribed under schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

(ii) Intangible Assets/ Amortisation

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following intial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortissation and accumulated impairement losses, if any. Intangible assets comprise of goodwill, Copyright, Trade marks & Computer software.

Purchased software meant for in house consumption and significant upgrades thereof having probable economic benefit exceeding one year are capitalized at acquisition price. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is completed over the estimated useful lives of five years using the Straight Line Method.

An impairment test of intangible assets is conducted annually or more often if there is an indication of a decrease in value.

(d) Revenue Recognition

Revenue from proprietary trading consists primarily of net trading income earned by the company when trading as principal. Net Trading income from proprietary trading represents trading gain net of trading losses.

The profit & loss arising from all transactions entered into on account and risk of the company are recorded on completion of trade date.

Brokerage income is recognized on accrual basis.

Brokerage also includes additional fees for marketing and promotion of financial products.

Brokerage revenues are based largely on predefined rates. Revenue from upfront brokerage is recognised when the service is rendered. Annualized brokerage is recognized at the end of the measurement period when the pre-defined thresholds are met. Income from equity broking business is recognised on the trade date basis as the securities transaction occur and is exclusive of Goods and Service Tax , Securities transaction tax, stamp duties and other levies by stock exchanges and securities and exchange board of India (‘’SEBI’’). Fees for subscription based services are received periodically but are recognized as earned on prorata basis over the term of the contract.

Depository & related income is accounted on accrual basis.

Market Value for exchange traded derivatives, principally, futures and options are based on quoted market prices. The gains or losses on derivatives used for trading purposes are included in revenue from proprietary trading. Purchase & Sales of derivatives financial instrument are recorded on trade date. The transaction are recorded on a net basis.

Income from arbitrage and trading in securities and derivatives comprises profit/loss on sale of securities held as stock-in -trade and profit/ loss on equity derivative instruments, profit/ loss on sale of securities is determined based on the FIFO Basis of the securities sold. Profit /loss on equity derivative transactions is accounted for based on the ‘Guidance Note on Accounting for Equity index and Equity Stock Futures and Options’ issued by the institute of Chartered Accountants of India which is fully explained in (i) below: -

(i) Equity Index/Stock Futures:

I n accordance with Guidance Note on “Accounting for equity index and Equity Stock Futures and Options” issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Initial Margin- Equity index/ Stock Futures, representing the initial margin paid, and margin deposits representing additional margin paid over and above the initial margin, for entering into a contract for equity index/ stock futures which are released on final settlement/squaring-up of the underlying contract, are disclosed under Loans and Advances.

As on the balance sheet date, profit/loss on open positions in Equity index/ stock futures is accounted for as follows:

* Credit balance in the “Mark-to-Market Margin-Equity index/Stock Futures Account”, being the anticipated profit, is ignored and no credit for the same is taken in the profit and loss account.

* Debit Balance in the “Mark-to-Market Margin-Equity index/Stock Futures Account”, being the anticipated loss, is adjusted in the profit and loss account.

On final settlement or squaring-up of contracts for equity index/stock futures, the profit or loss is calculated as the difference between the settlement/squaring-up price and the contract price. Accordingly, debit or credit balance pertaining to the settled/squared-up contract in “Mark-to-Market Margin-Equity index/Stock Futures Account” after adjustment of the provision for anticipated losses is recognized in the profit and loss account. When more than one contract in respect of the relevant series of equity index/stock futures contract to which the squared-up contract pertains is outstanding at the time of the squaring-up of the contract, the contract price of the contract so squared-up is determined using the weighted average cost method for calculating the profit/loss on squaring-up.

(e) Inventories:

Inventories of shares are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value on FIFO.

(f) Employees Benefits:

(i) Defined Contribution Scheme

Employee benefits in the form of Provident Fund are considered as defined contribution plan and the contributions are charged to the Profit & Loss Account for the year when the exepense is actually incurred.

Provision for provident fund is made as per ‘The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952’, as applicable to the company.

Leave encashment benefits are paid/provided in its entirety for the year.

(ii) Gratuity

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation on Projected Unit Credit Method as per AS-15 made at the end of each financial year. Actuarial gain/loss are immediately taken to Statement of Profit & Loss and are not deferred.

(iii) Other employee benefits are accounted for on accrual basis.
