3.8 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
A provision is recognised when:
i) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
iii) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that may, but probably may not, require an outflow of resources. A contingent liability also arises in extreme cases where there is a probable liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation such that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are disclosed in case a possible asset arises from past events and whose existence 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.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
3.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
A) Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages etc. and the expected cost of ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid when there is a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
B) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund & employee state insurance scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
C) Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit retirement plans (i.e. gratuity) the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with independent actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in
the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:
- Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements)
- Net interest expense or income; and
- Re-measurement
D) Other employee benefits
Leave encashment is recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss account as and when they accrue. The Company determines the liability using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations carried out as at balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income.
3.10 LEASES
The Company as a lessee
The Company assess whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease, and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Lease payments associated with Low value & Short-term Leases are continued to be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern of the lessee's benefit (refer note no 26).
3.11 EARNING PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events of bonus issue and buy back.
3.12 BORROWING COST
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition / construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of their costs. Borrowing costs are considered as part of the asset cost when the activities that are necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use or sale are in progress.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense, in the period in which they are incurred.
4. USE OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Any revision to accounting estimates and assumptions is recognized prospectively i.e. recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.
The following are significant management judgements, estimates and assumptions in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have a significant effect on the financial statements.
A) Revenue Recognition
Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The Company has evaluated and generally concluded that the recognition of revenue over the period of time criteria are not met owing to non-enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date and, therefore, recognises revenue at a point in time. The Company has further evaluated and concluded that based on the analysis of the rights and obligations under the terms of the contracts relating to the sale of property, the revenue is to be recognised at a point in time when control transfers which coincides with receipt of Occupation Certificate.
B) Classification of property
The Company determines whether a property is classified as investment property or as inventory:
i) Investment property comprises land and buildings that are not occupied for use by, or in the operations of, the Company, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but are held primarily to earn rental income and capital appreciation. These buildings are held for capital appreciation and are not intended to be sold in the ordinary course of business.
ii) Inventory comprises property that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business. Principally these are properties that the Company develops and intends to sell.
C) Classification of assets and liabilities into current and non-current
The management classifies the assets and liabilities into current and non-current categories based on the operating cycle of the respective business / projects.
D) Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the Company's future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
E) Impairment of assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amounts of each asset or CGU (in case of non-financial assets) based on expected future cash flows and uses an estimated interest rate to discount them. Estimation relates to assumptions about future cash flows and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
F) Useful lives of depreciable / amortisable assets (Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property)
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable / amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected usage of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the usage of certain assets.
G) Defined benefit obligation
The cost of defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation along with leave salary are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate, attrition rates and anticipation of future salary increases. 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 reporting date.
H) Fair value measurements
The management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument /assets. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this may not always be available. In that case management uses the best relevant information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date.
I) Provisions
The timing of recognition and quantification of liability (including litigations) requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
Notes:
1) Trade receivables are valued considering provision for allowance using expected credit loss method. This assessment is considering the nature of industries, impact immediately seen in the demand outlook of these industries and the financial strength of the customers in respect of whom amounts are receivable.
2) No trade or other receivable are due from directors or other officers of the company either severally or jointly with any other person. Nor any trade or other receivable are due from firms or private companies respectively in which any director is a partner, a director or a member.
3) Please refer Note 43 for Ageing of Trade Receivables.
NOTE 31: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance.
The Company has identified business segments as reportable segments. The business segments comprise of Real Estate, Financial Services & Others.
Revenue and expenses directly attributable to segments are reported under each reportable segment. Expenses which are not directly identifiable to the reporting segment have been allocated on the basis of the associated revenue of the segment. All other expenses which are not attributable or allocable to segments have been disclosed as unallocable expenses.
Assets and liabilities that are directly attributable or allocable to segments are disclosed under each reportable segment. All other assets and liabilities are disclosed as unallocable.

B. Fair valuation techniques
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivable, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amount.
The fair value of investments in mutual fund units is based on the Net Asset Value ('NAV') as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements at reporting date.
The fair value of quoted investment in equity shares is based on the closing price on recognized stock exchange of respective investment as at the reporting date.
The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
Risk management framework
The Company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
I) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from receivables from customers, investment in various instruments and loans.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer pertaining to real estate business & receivables of power generation business. However, credit risk with regards to trade receivable is almost negligible in case of its residential sale as the same is due to the fact that Group does not handover possession till the entire outstanding is received & also of trade receivable of power sale as the same is backed by the state government.
Investment in various instruments
Credit risk on investment in various instruments is limited as we generally invest in financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units & overnight mutual funds units, quoted equity securities, quoted & unquoted bonds, alternate investment funds, debentures & commercial papers issued by organizations with high credit ratings.
Loans
Credit risk on loans has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
The Company uses the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for loans. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit ratings from credit rating agencies and the Company's historical experience for customers.
II) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding borrowings. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents of ? 26,625.30 lakhs, other bank balances of ? 1,019.15 lakhs and current investments of ? 7,233.55 lakhs. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents of ? 7,595.46 lakhs, other bank balances of ? 34.64 lakhs and current investments of ? 2,435.81 lakhs.
III) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as interest rates and commodity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including payables and debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related interest rate risk and the market value of certain commodities. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of investing activities and revenue generating and operating activities. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure to these risks in our revenues and costs.
A) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest-bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest-bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
The Company does not have any external borrowing as on March 31,2025.
B) Currency risk
Currency risk is not material, as the Company's primary business activities are within India and do not have any exposure in foreign currency.
C) Other price risk
The Company's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the financials as fair value through Other Comprehensive Income and fair value through Profit & Loss. If the equity prices of investments are 10% higher / lower which are fair valued through Other Comprehensive Income, then the Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended March 31, 2025 would increase / decrease by ? 3,739.25 lakhs (PY - ? 2,356.61 lakhs) respectively with a corresponding increase / decrease in Total Equity of the Company. Similarly, if the equity prices of investments are 10% higher / lower which are fair valued through profit & loss, then the Revenue from Operation for the year ended March 31, 2025 would increase / decrease by ? 47.84 lakhs (PY - ? 299.94 lakhs) respectively with a corresponding increase / decrease in Total Equity of the Company. 10% represents management's assessment of reasonably possible changes in equity prices.
NOTE 35: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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, 2025, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
