Mar 31, 2024

This; note provides a lisL of Lho significant accounting policies adopted m ihe preparation of these
financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented,
unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of Preparation >

The Standalone financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards (l!nd AS’) notiMod under the companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rule. 2015 noli hod under section 133 of the Companies Act. 2013(1-the Ad”), as amended
thereafter and other relevant provision of the act.

The Standalone financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the
historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured
at fail'' value:

• derivative Mnancial instruments;

* Cerium financial assets and li abilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy on
financial instrument)

The Standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (“TNR”), which is also
company''s functional
cuiTency.

Si gin tlca nl accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the Standalone Mnancial statements requires management lo make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and
the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabi lilies. Uncertainty about
Lhese
assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the
cairying amount of assets or liabilities clYcetcd in future periods.

(hi Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date, that have a sign if cam risk ol causing a mu tonal adjustment lo the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company has based
its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the Standalone financial statements
were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may

change due to market changes or circumstances arising Thai arc beyond the control of the Company.
Such changes arc rc dec Led in the assumptions when they occur.

(e) Fair Value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet
cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their lair value is measured using
valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash flow (“DCF”) model. The inputs to Lhese
models are taken from observable
markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree
pf judgement is required in establishing their fair values. Judgements include eons id era Lion of
inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.. Changes in assumptions about these factors
could affect the reported lair values of financial instruments.

(d) Revenue Recognition

Ind AS 115 specifies a uniform., five-step model lor revenue recognition, which is generally to be
applied to all contracts with customers.

* Sale of Goods:

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods measured at fait value of the eonsideration
received or receivable, upon satisfaction of performance obligations which is at a point in time
when control of the goods is transferred to the
cLLslomer generally on tire delivery of the goods.

* Suit of Services:

Sale of services are recognised on satisfaction of performance obligation toward? rendering of
such seivices.

* Interest and dividend income:

InleresL Income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is
accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable and dividend income from investments in shares is recognised when the owner’s: light
to receive the payment is established.

(c) Property* plant and equipment

Tire Company has no investment in Property. Plant and hquipmenl.

(t) In tangible assets

The Company has no investment in intangible assets.

A Financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one cntiLy and a
financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Fin undo! assets; Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the ease of financial assets not
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction eosls that are attributable to the acquisition
of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a
lime frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) arc
recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

for purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in Jour categories:

* Debt instruments at amor used cost

* Debt instruments at fair value tlirough other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

* Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (I"VPL)

* Equity instruments measured at lair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 arc measured at fail1 value. Equity instmments which
are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquire!’ in a business
combination to which hid AS 103 applies are classified as at FVPL. For all other equity
instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable ejection to present in other comprehensive
income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument
by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable, If the
Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts
from OCI to tile Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company
may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the
FVPL categoiy are measured al lair value with all changes recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.

The Ghmpan^ recognizes loss allowance using the expected credit loss (EC'' L) model for the
financial as sols which ai''e not fair valued through prill or Joss. Loss allowance for trade
receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime
ECL. For all financial assets with contractual cash Hows other than trade receivable, ECLs are
measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL. unless there has heen a significant increase in
credit risk from initial recognition in which case those arc measured at lifetime ECL. The amount
oi ECLs (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount
that is required to he recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

JJemcogniikm

A financial asset (or> where applicable, a .part of a financial assel or part of a Company of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognized when;

* The righLs to receive pash flows from the asset have expired, or

* The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash Hows from the asset or lias assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
¦pass-through arrangement and cither (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all
tire 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 or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates il and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership,
When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset,
nor transierrod control of the assel, the Company eontinu.es to recognize the transferred assel to
the extent of the Company continuing invol vein cut. In that case, the Company also recognizes an
associated li ability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a has is that
reflects the rights and obligations Lhat the Company has retained,

Fihiincia! liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortised cost or FVTL. A financial liability is
classified as at FVPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as
such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at F''VI’L arc measured at fair value and net gajns
and Josses, including any interest expense, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Other
financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Interest expense and Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in Statement of
Profit and Loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in Statement of Profit and
Loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when tine obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled pr empires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from Lhe same
lender oil substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange ornu id ill cation is treated as the derecognition of tile original liability
and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective car lying amounts is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Qffkeiiing.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Balance
Sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the
amounLs and it intends either to settle them on a nel basis or to realize the asset and settle the
i i ah i litjr simultaneously.

(h) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company estimates the assets'' recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is dctcimined tor an
individual asset unless the asset does riot generate cashflow''s that arc largely independent of those
from other assets or Company of assets. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at
each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised
impairment loss no longer exist or has decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates
the assets'' or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment Joss is reversed
only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine die assets'' recoverable
amount, since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the cany in g
amount of the asset docs not exceed us recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been dctcimined, net nf depreciation, bad no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
