creditor for these borrowings. Further, by assignment dated 30.11.2022, the JMFARC has assigned its debt to UV Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd (UVARCL). The dues to UVARCL

B Fair values hierarchy
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (A) above has been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the
valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities [Level 1 measurements]
and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3 measurements].
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a net asset
value or valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument
nor are they based on available market data.
The management assessed that fair values of current loans, current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables,
other receivables, short term borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their respective carrying amounts largely
due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and
assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
(i) Non-current investments, long-term loans and advances and non-current financial liabilities are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as
interest rates, individual creditworthiness of the customer and other market risk factors.
(ii) The fair values of the Company's fixed interest-bearing liabilities, loans and receivables are determined by applying discounted cash flows ('DCF')
method, using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at March
31,2023 was assessed to be insignificant.
(iii) All the other long term borrowing facilities availed by the Company are variable rate facilities which are subject to changes in underlying interest rate
indices. Further, the credit spread on these facilities are subject to change with changes in Company's creditworthiness. The management believes that
the current rate of interest on these loans are in close approximation from market rates applicable to the Company. Therefore, the management estimates
that the fair value of these borrowings are approximate to their respective carrying values.
C Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, security deposits taken, employee related payables, trade
and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Companys principal
financial assets include investments, loan to subsidiary, security deposits given, employee advances, trade and other receivables, cash
and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company s Board and Senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Company's senior management is supported by Board and Risk Management Committee that advises
on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Risk Management Committee
provides assurance to the Companys senior management 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. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills,
experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The
Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
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 risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity
risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments, loans and borrowings, deposits and advances.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
The sensitivity analysis have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of floating to fixed interest rates of the
debt and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant in place at March 31, 2024.
The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement
obligations; provisions.
The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
- The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the
financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's long-term debt
obligations with floating interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of its business. Multiple currency exposures arise from
commercial transactions like sales, purchases, borrowings, recognized financial assets and liabilities (monetary items). Certain
transactions of the Company act as natural hedge as a portion of both assets and liabilities are denominated in similar foreign currencies.
For the remaining exposure to foreign exchange risk, the Company adopts the policy of selective hedging based on risk perception of
management. Foreign exchange hedging contracts are carried at fair value. Foreign currency exposures that are not hedged by
derivative instruments outstanding as on the balance sheet date are as under:
Foreign exchange risk sensitivity analysis has been performed on the foreign currency exposures in the Company's financial assets and
financial liabilities at the reporting date, net of derivative contracts for hedging those exposures. Reasonably possible changes are based
on an analysis of historic currency volatility, together with any relevant assumptions regarding near-term future volatility.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Compny's operating
activities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a
financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities including deposits with banks and financial
institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables:
Customer credit risk is managed by company subject to the policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management.
Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored for any expected default in repayment.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of
minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk
at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 11. The Company does not hold collateral as
security.
Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company's finance department in accordance with the
Company's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each
counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty s
potential failure to make payments.
The Company s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is the
carrying amounts of the financial instruments.
Liquidity risk
The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts and
bank loans. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The
Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing
lenders.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.
40 Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, preference share capital and all other equity
reserves attributable to the shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximise the shareholder
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial
covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or
issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company's policy is
to keep the gearing ratio between 43% and 48%. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other
payables and cash and cash equivalents.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants
attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would
permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and
borrowing in the current period.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

47 The Company owns Hotel Hyatt Regency in Mumbai ("Hotel"). The lockdown and restrictions imposed on various activities due to COVID -19 pandemic in
India had significantly and adversely affected the operations of the Hotel. The Company could not run its Hotel operations as funding restrictions had been
imposed by one of the lender banks. Despite Central Government's/Reserve Bank of India's scheme to provide financial support to the
beleaguered hospitality industry through the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), the lender bank of the Hotel refused to release
the funds that the Company was entitled to under ECLGS and needed as a lifeline for normalizing its operations. Such actions of the lender bank
led to suspending of the operations of the Hotel in June 2021, which in turn resulted in the Company's financial distress. On August 19, 2021, lender bank
filed Section 7 application before the Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), New Delhi Bench IV claiming a default of an
amount of ^ 26,407.35 lakhs. The Adjudicating Authority (NCLT), New Delhi passed an order dated September 16, 2022 admitting the section 7
petition and initiated Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ("CIRP") against the Company. On January 09, 2024, the National Company Law
Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has approved the settlement proposal under Section 12A of IBC 2016 submitted by the promoters and suspended
Directors of the Company. With the approval of the settlement proposal, the order dated September 16, 2022 admitting section 7 application under
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 has been set aside and the CIRP of the Company has been closed. The Company is in the process of
