xvii) Provision and contingencies
a) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are
measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the
year end.
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.
b) Contingencies
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 or a reliable estimate ofthe amount cannot be made.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in financial statements. A disclosure of the
contingent liability is made when there is a possible or a present obligation that may, but
probably will not, require an outflow ofresources.
xviii) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to
equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Earnings considered in ascertaining the company''s earnings per share is the net profit or loss for the
year after deducting preference dividends and any attributable tax thereto for the year. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year and for all the years presented is
adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that
have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in
resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the year is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
xix) Dividend Distribution
The company recognizes a liability to make the payment of dividend to owners of equity, when the
distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the company. As per the
corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. Any
interim dividend paid is recognised on approval by Board of Directors. Dividend payable / paid, is
recognised directly in equity.
xx) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the
effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash
receipts or payment and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash
flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are
segregated.
xxi) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks, cash on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
xxii) Segment Reporting
The management assesses and identifies the reportable segments in accordance with the
requirements of Ind AS 108 âOperating Segmentâ. The company has only one reportable segment
viz., âmanufacture and sale of Chemicalsâ
xxiii) Prior Period Items
Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for
prior period presented in which the error occurred or if the error occurred before the earliest period
presented, by restating the opening statement of financial position.

expressed inability to receive the ordered goods from the company due to ongoing war in West Asia,
the company upon noting the fulfilment of criteria specified in IND AS-115, recognized the revenue in
respect of the invoices raised on these customers under Bill and hold arrangement
The following disclosures are made in respect of the revenue recognised under Bill-and-hold
arrangement:
i) Nature of Bill-and-Hold Arrangement
During March 2026, when the company was ready to dispatch the ordered goods to the above
customers, they requested to raise the invoice but hold the goods due to restrictions on international
movement of goods through sea route on account of war in West Asia, till further instructions. The
customers have explicitly requested the company to send the invoices for these goods as per usual
credit terms allowed to them.
On receipt ofthe request from the customers, the company identified the goods intended to be supplied
and kept the same separately and raised invoices aggregating to '' 993.40 Lakhs and recognized the
same as income under bill and hold arrangement during the current year as the criteria laid down in
IND AS-115 has been fulfilled.
Subsequent to the reporting period, goods invoiced under Bill-and-hold arrangement were delivered
to the customers.
ii) Judgements used in determining transfer of control:-
The following criteria stipulated in IND AS-115 for determining the transfer of control over the goods
to customers has been fulfilled.
⢠Reason for the Bill and hold Arrangement is substantive: Request from the customers expressing
inability to receive the goods with valid reason was received in-time.

115 and the subsequent delivery of the specific goods to the customers, it is determined that transfer of
control over the goods to the customers is satisfied. Accordingly, revenue from sale of goods to these
two customers has been recognized under bill and hold arrangement.

B. Defined Benefit Plan
I. Gratuity obligation of the Company
The employeesâ gratuity fund scheme managed by a Trust is a defined benefit plan. The present value
of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method,
which recognised each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit
entitlement and measures each unit to build up the final obligation. The obligation for leave
encashment is recognised in the books as per Actuarial Valuation.
The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation,
seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market.
The above information is certified by the actuary.
The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the
composition of plan assets held, assessed risks, historical results of return on plan assets and the Company''s
policy for plan assets management.
The Managing Director of the company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker
(CODM) as required by Ind AS 108 Operating Segments. As the Company is predominantly engaged in the
manufacture and sale of chemicals where the risks and returns associated with the products are uniform, the
Company has identified geographical segments based on location of customers as reportable segments in
accordance with Ind AS 108 issued by ICAI.
The Company''s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises. The
leasing arrangements are generally cancellable leases which range less than 12 months and are usually
renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms.
The Companyâs objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going
concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders,
and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to
shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Companyâs activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risks, credit risks and
liquidity risks. The Companyâs primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of
market risk on its financial performance. The Companyâs risk management assessment and policies and
processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk
limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and
management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the
Companyâs activities. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the
Companyâs risk assessment and management policies and processes.
a) Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity
prices, will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is
attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and
payables and long-term debt. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return
b) Foreign Currency risk
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 Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange
rates relates primarily to the Companyâs operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a
foreign currency) in United States Dollar (âUSDâ)
The Companyâs exposure to foreign currency risk from non-derivative financial instruments at the end of
the financial year, are as follows:
The impact on the Companyâs profitability and equity is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets
and liabilities including non-designated foreign currency derivatives are as follows:
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 Companyâs fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised
cost and hence are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying
amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. Further, the
Companyâs investments in deposits is with banks and electricity authorities and therefore do not expose the
Company to significant interest rates risk. The Companyâs main interest rate risk arises from borrowings
with variable rates, which expose it to cash flow interest rate risk
The Company does not have any investments which are classified in the balance sheet either as fair value
through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss.
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments when counter party defaults
on its obligations. The Companyâs exposure to credit risk arises primarily from loans extended, security
deposits, balances with bankers and trade and other receivables. The Company minimises credit risk by
dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Companyâs objective is to seek continual
revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. The Company
trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Companyâs policy that all customers
who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Companyâs exposure to bad debts is not
significant. The company recognizes provisions for credit impaired receivables based on delay in
realisation.
Credit Risk Exposure:
At the end of the reporting period, the Companyâs maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the
carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position. No other
financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.
b. Liquidity Risk:
The Companyâs principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is
generated from operations. The Company has short term borrowings from banks. Short term loans
repayable on demand from banks are obtained for the working capital requirements of the Company.
The company had following working capital at the end of the reporting year
d) Excessive risk concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities, or
activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions.
Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Companyâs performance to developments affecting a
particular industry.

3.10. Provision for Current Tax and Deferred Tax
a. Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profits differ from the profit as
reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Companyâs current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting
period. In the event of Tax computed as stated is less than the tax computed under section 115JB of the
Income tax Act., 1961, provision for current tax will be made in accordance with such provisions.
b. Deferred Tax
Deferred Tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit. Deferred Tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred Tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that
it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of Deferred Tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred Tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of Deferred Tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period to recoveror
settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
c. Current Tax and Deferred Tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and
deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Deferred Tax resulting from âtiming differenceâ between taxable and accounting income is accounted
for using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date.
Deferred Tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent there is reasonably certain that
there will be sufficient future income to recover such Deferred Tax Asset.
3.11. Minimum Alternate Tax Credit

evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. The Entitlement is
reviewed at each balance sheet date with regard to the correctness of the carrying amount.
3.12. Research and Development
Capital expenditure incurred has been disclosed under separate heads of account and revenue expenditure
incurred is charged off as a distinct item in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.13. Financial Instruments (Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities):

depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held and the contractual cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. For the purpose of subsequent
measurement, Financial Instruments of the Company are classified into(a) Non-Derivate Financial
Instruments and (b) Derivative Financial Instruments.
a. Non-Derivative Financial Instruments:
⢠Security Deposits, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Advances, Trade Receivables and Eligible
Current and non-current financial assets are classified as financial assets under this clause.
⢠Loans and borrowings, trade and other payables including deposits collected from various parties
and eligible current and non-current financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities under
this clause.
⢠Financial instruments are subsequently carried at amortized cost.
⢠Transaction costs that are attributable to the financial instruments recognized at amortized cost
are included in the fair value of such instruments.
b. Derivative Financial Instruments:
⢠The policy in respect of Derivatives will be formulated as and when required.
3.14. Claims
Claims by and against the Company, including liquidated damages, are recognised on acceptance basis.
3.15. Leases:
The Companyâs lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and building. The Company assesses
whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a 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 avails
itself 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. At the date of commencement of the lease, the
Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (âROUâ) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease
arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term
leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
As a lessee, the Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with
any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of
the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized
cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest
rate implicit in the lease.
Lease liability and Right to Use assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease
payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

Financial Risk Factors:
The Company is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments.
The key financial risks include market risk, and liquidity risk. The management reviews and design
policies and procedures to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary
market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced
mainly by the customer repayments. The Companyâs exposure to liquidity risks are on account of interest
rate risk on borrowings. The following sections provide details regarding the Companyâs exposure to the
above-mentioned financial risks and the management thereof.
Market Risk:
The Company operates internationally, and a portion of the business is transacted in foreign currencies and
consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in those
countries. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent
years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Companyâs operations
are affected as the rupee appreciates/depreciates against these currencies. The Company leaves exchange
rate risk with regard to foreign exposures un-hedged when the local currency is appreciating against the
foreign currency.
Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments when counter party
defaults on its obligations. The Companyâs exposure to credit risk arises primarily from loans extended,
security deposits, balances with bankers and trade and other receivables. The Company minimises credit
risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counter parties. The Companyâs objective is to seek
continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. The
Company trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Companyâs policy that all
customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition,
receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Companyâs exposure to bad
debts is not significant. The company recognizes provisions for credit impaired receivables based on delay
in realisation.
Credit Risk Exposure:
At the end of the reporting period, the Companyâs maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the
carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position. No other
financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.
Liquidity Risk:
The Companyâs principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is
generated from operations. The Company has short term borrowings from banks. Short term loans
repayable on demand from banks are obtained for the working capital requirements of the Company.

equivalents of ? 4.15 Lakhs. As of 31st March 2024, the Company had a working capital of ? 717.17 Lakhs

307.63 Lakhs, respectively, which have been substantially funded. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is
perceived.
Interest Rate Risk:
The interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of the Companyâs financial
instruments will fluctuate because of the change in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to
interest rate risks as it has significant interest-bearing working capital loans from bank. Short term loans
repayable on demand are subject to prevailing market rate fluctuations and sanctioned facilities are availed
on a need to borrow basis to ensure minimum exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
