Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that the outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
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.

The Company’s principal financial liabilities include borrowing, trade and other payables. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents and others. The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management provides assurance that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from the financial instruments:
(i) Market Risk
(ii) Credit Risk
(iii) Liquidity Risk
The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized as below:
(i) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include borrowings, security deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables.
(a) Foreign Currency risk
Currency risk is not material, as the Company’s primary business activities are within India and does not have any exposure in foreign currency.
(b) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company’s financial liabilities comprises of interest bearing loans, vehicle loans and advances and security deposits; however these are not exposed to risk of fluctuation in market interest rate as the rates are fixed at the time of contract/agreement and do not change for any market fluctuation.
(ii) Credit Risk
Credit risk 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 considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 60 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.
Trade receivables consist of large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. In order to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaulters, the Company has an ongoing credit evaluation process in respect of customers who are allowed credit period. In respect of walk-in customers the Company does not allow any credit period and therefore, is not exposed to any credit risk.
The Company does not have any derivative transactions and therefore is not exposed to any credit risk on account of derivatives. The Company does not have any long-term contracts for which there are any material foreseeable losses.
b) Expected credit loss:
The company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of loss allowance.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
c) Financial Instruments and cash deposits
The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the instutition, market reputation, financial strength/rating and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.
(iii) Liquidity Risk
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Further, the Company’s approach is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due and Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt and the total equity of the Company. For this purpose, net debt is defined as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The funding requirements are met through short-term/long-term borrowings. The Company monitors the capital structure on the basis of total debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Company.
Loan Covenants
Bank loans contain certain debt covenants relating to limitation on Current Ratio i.e. 1.15:1.In any case margin on primary security should not be diluted below 13%.
33. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
i. Financial Instruments by Category
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
*The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, current loans, other current financial assets, current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value.
The fair values of non current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs.
ii. Fair value hierarchy
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount 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.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity- specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
During the years mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy. The fair values of unquoted equity instruments are not significantly different from their carrying value and hence the management has considered their carrying amount as fair value.
iii. Valuation processes
The finance department of the company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) and the audit committee (AC). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, AC and the valuation team at least once every three months, in line with the company’s quarterly reporting periods.
* Interest due on the outstanding amount will be considered on actual basis i.e. payment basis
