Capital redemption Reserve
Whenever there is a buy-back or redemption of share capital the nominal value of the capital is transferred to a reserve called Capital Redemption Reserve so as to retain the capital intact.
Securities Premium Reserve
Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance with the provision of the Companies Act, 2013.
General Reserve
The General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purposes.

Statutory Reserve
Statutory Reserve represents the reserve created pursuant to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (the "RBI Actâ) and related regulations applicable to those companies. Under the RBI Act, a non-banking finance company is required to transfer an amount not less than 20% of its net profit (including realised profits on derecognition of equity instruments (net of taxes)) to a reserve fund before declaring any dividend.

(b) Measurement of fair values
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level
1 to Level 3, as described below:
Level I: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level II: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level III: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.es, and
other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
(i) The management assessed that fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalent, trade receivables, trade payables, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments
(ii) Financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which approximates their fair value.
(iii) The fair values of the equity investment which are quoted, are derived from quoted market prices in active markets. The Investments measured at fair value and falling under fair value hierarchy Level 3 are valued on the basis of valuation reports provided by external valuers with the exception of certain investments, where cost has been considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value because of a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair values within that range.
(iv) The Company has investment in Compulsorily Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) which is measured at FVTPL. In accordance with Ind AS 109, preference shares being cumulative in nature, the fair value of CCPS as on reporting date includes accrued dividend thereon based on contractual entitlement, probable economic benefit, and reliable measurability, regardless of the declaration of the dividend for the current financial year by the investee company. The CCPS dividend received during the year has been recorded under dividend income upon reversal of the fair value of CCPS credited to Statement of Profit & Loss during the previous year(s).
(v) The fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
(vi) There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended March 31,2025 and March 31,2024.

Nature and purpose of reserves:
Capital Reserve
The Company recognises profit and loss on purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the its own equity instruments to capital reserve.
Whenever there is a buy-back or redemption of share capital the nominal value of the capital is transferred to a reserve called Capital Redemption Reserve so as to retain the capital intact.
Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance with the provision of the Companies Act, 2013.
General Reserve
The General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purposes. As the General reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the General reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to the statement of profit and loss.
Statutory Reserve represents the reserve created pursuant to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (the "RBI Actâ) and related regulations applicable to those companies. Under the RBI Act, a non-banking finance company is required to transfer an amount not less than 20% of its net profit to a reserve fund before declaring any dividend. Appropriation from this reserve fund is permitted only for the purposes specified by the RBI.
Impairment Reserve represents the reserve created pursuant to the per RBI circular dated March 13, 2020 on ''Implementation of Indian Accounting Standards''. Under the circular, where the impairment allowance under IND AS 109 is lower than the provisioning required as per prudential norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning (including standard asset provisioning) the difference should be appropriated from the net profit to a separate ''Impairment Reserve''. Withdrawals from this reserve is allowed only after obtaining permission from the RBI. Though the Company is generally not in the activity of lending loans and advances, however, the provision for standard asset outstanding as on April 1,2019 has been reversed and an amount equivalent to 0.40% of standard assets has been transferred to ''Impairment Reserve'' as on March 31,2020 out of abundant caution.
As the Company has no activities other than those of an investment company, the segment reporting under Indian Accounting Standard Ind AS 108 - ''Operating Segments'' is not applicable. The Company does not have any reportable geographical segment.
14 Employee Benefits(a) Defined contribution plans
The Company makes contributions, determined as a specified percentage of employee salaries, in respect of qualifying employees towards Provident Fund, Family Pension Fund and Superannuation Fund which is a defined contribution plan. The Company has no obligations other than these three funds to make the specified contributions. The contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss as they accrue. The amount recognised as an expense towards contribution to Provident Fund, Family Pension Fund and Superannuation Fund for the year are summarised below.
Inherent risk : The plan is of a final salary defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks pertaining to the plan. In particular, there is a risk for the Company that any adverse salary growth or demographic experience or inadequate returns on underlying plan assets can result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature the plan is not subject to any longevity risks.
Investment Risk and Asset-Liability Risk : The money contributed by the Company to the fund to finance the liabilities of the plan has to be invested. The trustees of the plan are required to invest the funds as per the prescribed pattern of investments laid out in the income tax rules for such approved plans. Due to the restrictions in the type of investments that can be held by the fund, it is not possible to explicitly follow an asset-liability matching strategy to manage risk actively.
During the year, there were no plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
(II) Post retirement medical benefits
Under this unfunded scheme, employees of the Company receive medical benefits subject to certain limits on amounts of benefits, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade and location at the time of retirement.Employees separated from the Company under an early separation scheme, on medical grounds or due to permanent disablement are also covered under the scheme. The Company accounts for the liability for post-retirement medical scheme based on an year end actuarial valuation.
Inherent risk : The plan is of a defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks pertaining to the plan. In particular, there is a risk for the Company that any adverse increase in healthcare costs or demographic experience can result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. The benefits are also paid during the lifetime of the beneficiaries and the plan carries the longevity risks.
During the year, there were no plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
(iii) Other Long Term Benefits
Other Long Term Benefits include compensated absences, sick leave, long term service benefit and pension. The liability towards other long term benefits is determined by independent actuary at every balance sheet date.
(b) Measurement of fair values
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level
1 to Level 3, as described below:
Level I: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level II: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level III: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
(i) The management assessed that fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments
(ii) Financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.
(iii) The fair values of the equity investment which are quoted, are derived from quoted market prices in active markets. The Investments measured at fair value and falling under fair value hierarchy Level 3 are valued on the basis of valuation reports provided by external valuers with the exception of certain investments, where cost has been considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value because of a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair values within that range
(iv) The fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
(v) There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended March 31,2022 and March 31,2021.
(c) Derivative Financial Instruments
During the current year, the Company has entered into covered call / put option transactions on their existing portfolio. Credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments is, at any time, is limited to those with positive fair values, as recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit risk
⢠Liquidity risk; and
⢠Market risk
The Company has a risk management framework which not only covers the market risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks.
The risk management policy is approved by the Board of Directors. The risk management framework aims to:
(i) create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company''s business plan.
(ii) achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited, since the trade receivables amount is immaterial.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents of '' 499.85 lacs at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: '' 422.70 lacs. The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.
The table below analyses the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:
- all non derivative financial liabilities
- Derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for understanding the timing of the cash flows.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as equity price, interest rates etc.) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to the market value of its investments.
Interest rate risk arises from effects of fluctuation in prevailing levels of market interest rates on the fair value of Bonds / Debentures.
Exposure to interest rate risk :
Since the Company does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities bearing floating interest rates, any change in interest rates at the reporting date would not have any significant impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company.
Currently Company does not have transaction in foreign currencies and hence the Company is not exposed to currency risk.
(a) Exposure
The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss.
To manage its price risk arising from investment in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
