The Company manages provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its eligible employees, which is permitted under
The Provident Funds Act, 1925. The plan mandates contribution by employer at a fixed percentage of employee''s salary.
Employees also contribute to the plan at a fixed percentage of their salary as a minimum contribution. The contribution by
employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is
earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss, which are included under contributions
to Provident Fund.
The Company operates a gratuity plan through Life Insurance Company of India (''LIC'') wherein every employee is entitled
to the benefit based on the respective employee''s half last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company.
Further, employees who have completed more than 30 years of service are paid additional gratuity based on the respective
employee''s half last drawn salary on completion of additional year of service post 30 years. The same is payable on
termination of service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. Liabilities
in respect of the gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes annual
contributions to the plan. The plan is funded with LIC in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The Company commenced operations from 1 st February 2003 and formed a Pension Trust (''PF'') which inherited the
Employees Group Superannuation Fund from the erstwhile Unit Trust of India. The Company''s pension plan assets are
managed by PF. The Company makes 1 0% of basic salary and additional pay, wherever applicable, as employer contribution
towards pension to the PF. PF independently manages some part of the corpus / assets and balance is managed by LIC.
The actuarial valuation considers the assets independently managed by PF as well as LIC. The trustees nominated by the
Company are responsible for the administration of PF.
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as salary risk, investment risk, asset liability matching
risk, interest rate risk, concentration risk, and mortality risk.

Current LIC Buy-Out Annuity Rates prevailing as on the valuation date.
The benefit obligation results of gratuity fund are particularly sensitive to discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The
benefit obligation results of pension scheme are particularly sensitive to discount rate, longevity risk, salary escalation rate
and pension increases, if the plan provision do provide for such increases on commencement of pension.
The following table summarises the change in DBO and impact in percentage terms compared with the reported defined
benefit obligation at the end of the reporting year arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption
by changes in the below mentioned three parameters.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there
are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous year in
the methods and assumption used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
The fair value at grant date is determined using the Black Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the
option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free
interest rate for the term of the option.
Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The measure of
volatility used in the Black-Scholes Model is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the
stock over a period of time.
As on the date of grant, in case of schemes ESOS 2007 - issued on 1 6th December 201 9, the Company being an unlisted Company,
the expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected
changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
As on the date of grant in case of ESOS 2007 - issued on 28th July 2021,1 7th January 2022 and 1 3th September 2022, the Company
being listed, trading history of the Company and its comparable companies listed on the stock exchange were considered. The
volatility derived from these stocks has been annualised for the purpose of this valuation.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit Risk
⢠Liquidity Risk
⢠Market Risk
The Company''s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of its risk management framework.
The board of directors has established a risk management committee, which 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.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations and arises principally from its investment transactions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating
activities (mostly trade receivables) and from its investing activities, which includes deposits with banks and financial institutions,
and other financial assets measured at amortised cost.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum amount of credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as
per the table below, it being total of carrying amount of cash and cash equivalent, trade and other receivables and financial assets
measured at amortised cost.
The Company continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument is subject to 12
month ECL (1 2mECL) or life time ECL (LTECL), the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or the
assets have become credit impaired since initial recognition. The Company applies the following quantitative and qualitative criteria
to assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk or the assets have been credit impaired.
⢠Historical trend of collection from counterparty
⢠Company''s contractual rights with respect to recovery of dues from counterparty
⢠Credit rating of counterparty and any relevant information available in public domain
ECL is a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. It is measured as the present value of cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between
the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
The Company has three types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss:
⢠Trade and other receivables
⢠Cash and cash equivalent
⢠Investment in debt securities measured at amortised cost
The amount of trade receivable for which the Company has assessed credit risk is on an individual basis.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine expected credit
losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Further, management believes
that amounts that are past due by more than 365 days are collectible in full and are not impaired, as the same are recoverable from
government entities.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents of '' 2.95 crore as on 31st March 2025. The cash and cash equivalents are held with
banks, which are rated AA- to AA , based on CRISIL ratings. Impairment on cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances has
been measured on a 12-month expected loss basis and reflects the short maturities of the exposures. The Company considers that its
cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties.
The Company has made investments in state government and corporate bonds. Investments have been made after taking into account
parameters like safety, liquidity and post-tax returns etc. The Company avoids concentration of credit risk by spreading them over
several counterparties with good credit rating profile and sound financial position. The investment in corporate bonds are rated AAA
based on CRISIL ratings. The Company considers that the investments in state government and corporate bonds have low credit 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. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company
might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of mismatches in the timing of the cash flows
under both normal and stress circumstances. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions is not
available to the Company on acceptable terms.
The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when they are due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to
the Company''s reputation.
The Company''s investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Company''s liquidity
requirements. The Company typically invests in money market funds, debt funds, equity funds and other highly rated securities
under a limits framework, which governs the credit exposure to any one issuer as defined in its investment policy. The policy
requires investments generally to be of investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal
loss.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date. The
amounts are gross and not discounted:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows related to financial instrument that may result
from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, other prices). The Company is
exposed to market risk primarily related to currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Financial instruments affected by market
risk include investments, loans and deposits.
I nterest 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
financial Instruments. The investments in government securities and bonds are at fixed rate of coupon and accordingly the
Company does not perceive any interest rate 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 Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s
operating activities (wherever revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company''s net investments in
foreign subsidiaries. The Company has insignificant amount of foreign currency denominated assets. Accordingly, the exposure
to currency risk is insignificant.
As per Ind AS 107, ''Financial Instruments: Disclosures'', the fair values of the financial assets or financial liabilities are defined
as the price that would be received on sale of asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable
or unobservable. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and
lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The hierarchy used is as follows:
⢠Level 1 â Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
⢠Level 2 â Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Investment in all mutual fund schemes are included in Level 2.
⢠Level 3 â Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or
in part using a 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 following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels
in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at
fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
39 During the year, the Company has reversed liability of '' 0.45 crore (previous year '' 0.47 crore) towards employee
superannuation, as the same is no longer payable, and accounted for as other income.
The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value as well as to maintain investor,
creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the Company.
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 the ratio of ''net adjusted debt'' to ''Total equity''. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined
as total liabilities, comprising interest bearing loans and borrowings and obligations under finance lease (if any), less cash and cash
equivalents. Total Equity comprises of share capital and all reserves.
Calculation of this ratio is given below:
The Company does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liabilities as the current assets are sufficient to meet the
obligations related to lease liabilities as and when they fall due.
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities for financial year ended 31st March 2025 is 1 0.75% and
for the financial year ended 31st March 2024 is 9.88%.
The company leases out its properties of which details of the same are as follows:

of-use asset. The Company recognised a gain of '' 0.14 crore (Previous year: nil) on derecognition of the right-of-use asset
pertaining to the building and presented the gain as part of ''Other income'' and interest income on lease receivables of '' 0.04
crore (Previous year: nil) as part of ''Interest Income''.
The following table sets out a maturity analysis of lease receivables, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received

(b) Defined Benefit PlansCharacteristics of defined benefits plans (''DBO''):1. Gratuity Plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a life insurance company (''LIC'') wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit based on the respective employee''s half last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company Further, employees who have completed more than 30 years of service are paid additional gratuity based on the respective employee''s half last drawn salary on completion of additional year of service post 30 years. same is payable on termination of service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. Liabilities in respect of the gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes annual contributions to the plan. The plan is funded with LIC in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The Company commenced operations from 1st February, 2003 and formed a Pension Trust which inherited the Employees Group Superannuation Fund from the erstwhile Unit Trust of India. The Company makes 10% of basic salary and additional pay, wherever applicable, as employer contribution to this trust and any shortfall in the fund size as per the scheme.

The trustees nominated by the Company are responsible for the administration of the plan.
Risk associated with defined benefits plans:
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as Salary risk, investment risk, asset liability matching risk, interest rate risk, concentration risk, and mortality risk.
Mortality in Service: Published rates under the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ult table. Mortality in Retirement: Current LIC Buy-Out Annuity Rates prevailing as on the valuation date.
The benefit obligation results of gratuity fund are particularly sensitive to discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The benefit obligation results of pension scheme are particularly sensitive to discount rate, longevity risk, salary escalation rate and pension increases, if the plan provision do provide for such increases on commencement of pension.
The following table summarises the change in DBO and impact in percentage terms compared with the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting year arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by changes in the below mentioned three parameters.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous year in the methods and assumption used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
~| EMPLOYEE SHARE BASED PAYMENTSEmployee stock option scheme (Equity settled)
The Company has formed an Employee Stock Option Scheme i.e. "UTI AMC Employee Stock Option Scheme 2007 ("ESOS 2007")", which covers eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The vesting of the options is from expiry of one year till three years as per plan. Each option entitles the holder thereof to apply for and be allotted / transferred one equity share of the Company upon payment of the exercise price during the exercise period.
The fair value at grant date is determined using the Black Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The measure of volatility used in the Black-Scholes Model is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the stock over a period of time.
As on the date of grant, in case of schemes ESOS 2007 - issued on 16th December, 2019, the Company being an unlisted Company, the expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
As on the date of grant in case of ESOS 2007 - issued on 28th July, 2021, 17th January, 2022 and 13th September, 2022, the Company being listed, trading history of the Company and its comparable companies listed on the stock exchange was considered. The volatility derived from this stock had been annualised for the purpose of this valuation.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit Risk
⢠Liquidity Risk
⢠Market Risk
The Company''s management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. 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.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from its investment transactions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (mostly trade receivables) and from its investing activities, which includes deposits with banks and financial institutions, and other financial assets measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum amount of credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as per the table below, it being total of carrying amount of cash and cash equivalent, trade and other receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) on Financial Assets
The Company continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument is subject to 12 month ECL (12mECL) or life time ECL (LTECL), the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or the asset has become credit impaired since initial recognition. The Company applies following quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk or the asset has been credit impaired.
⢠Historical trend of collection from counterparty.
⢠Company''s contractual rights with respect to recovery of dues from counterparty.
⢠Credit rating of counterparty and any relevant information available in public domain.
ECL is a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. It is measured as the present value of cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). The Company has three types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss:
⢠Trade and other receivables.
⢠Cash and cash equivalent.
⢠Investment in debt securities measured at amortised cost.
The amount of trade receivable for which the Company has assessed credit risk is on an individual basis.
Trade receivables include AMC fees receivable from the schemes of UTI Mutual Fund, SUTTI, CMPFO, ESIC, EPFO and amount receivable from PLI and RPLI. Based on the past experience, management expects to receive these amounts in full.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Further, management believes that amounts that are past due by more than 365 days are collectible in full and are not impaired, as the same are recoverable from government entities.
Trade payables include management and advisory fees payable and other vendor payments. Based on the past experience the Group will pay off the dues on time.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents of '' 6.92 crore as on 31st March, 2024. The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks, which are rated AA- to AA , based on CRISIL ratings. The Company considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties.
Investment in Debt Securities measured at amortised cost.
The Company has made investments in bonds. Investments have been made after taking into account parameters like safety, liquidity and post tax returns etc. The Company avoids concentration of credit risk by spreading them over several counterparties with good credit rating profile and sound financial position.
Investment in debt securities that are in government bonds do not carry any credit risk, being sovereign in nature. Credit risk from other financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Accordingly, the expected probability of default is low.
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. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of mismatches in the timing of the cash flows under both normal and stress circumstances. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions is not available to the Company on acceptable terms. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The Company''s investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Company''s liquidity requirements. The Company uses a combination of internal and external management to execute its investment strategy and achieve its investment objectives. The Company typically invests in money market funds, debt funds, equity funds and other highly rated securities under a limits framework, which governs the credit exposure to any one issuer as defined in its investment policy. The policy requires investments generally to be of investment grade, with the primary objective of minimising the potential risk of principal loss.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and not discounted:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows related to financial instrument that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, other prices). The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments, loans and deposits.
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 financial Instruments. The investments in government securities and bonds are at fixed rate of coupon and accordingly the Company does not perceive any interest rate 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 Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (wherever revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company''s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company has insignificant amount of foreign currency denominated assets. Accordingly, the exposure to currency risk is insignificant.
Price risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices and related market variables including interest rate for investments in debt oriented mutual funds and debt securities, caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer and market. The Company''s exposure to price risk arises from diversified investments in mutual funds held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss and is as follows:
To manage its price risk from investments in equity securities, debt securities, units of mutual funds, venture capital fund and alternative investment funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio.
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the Net Asset Value (NAV) on the Company''s investment in Mutual fund and profit for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NAV increased by 5% or decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company''s investments in mutual funds moved in line with the NAV.
~| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:A. Fair Value Hierarchy:
As per Ind AS 107, ''Financial Instruments: Disclosures'', the fair values of the financial assets or financial liabilities are defined as the price that would be received on sale of asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The hierarchy used is as follows:
⢠Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
⢠Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Investment in all mutual fund schemes are included in Level 2.
⢠Level 3 - Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a 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.
B. Accounting classification and fair valuation:
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
During the year, the Company has reversed liability of '' 0.47 crore (previous year '' 8.04 crore) towards employee superannuation, as the same is no longer payable, and accounted for as other income. Further, the accrued investment income of Nil (previous year '' 19.87 crore), has been accounted as income under the head net gain on fair value changes.
The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value as well as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the Company.
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 the ratio of ''net adjusted debt'' to ''Total equity''. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest bearing loans and borrowings and obligations under finance lease (if any), less cash and cash equivalents. Total Equity comprises of share capital and all reserves.
~| LEASES:Company as a lessee:
The Company has entered into leasing arrangements for premises. Majority of the leases are cancellable by the Company. Right of Use asset has been included under the line ''Non-Financial Assets'' and Lease liability has been included under ''Other Financial Liabilities'' in the Balance Sheet.
The Company does not face a significant liquidity risk with regard to its lease liabilities as the current assets are sufficient to meet the obligations related to lease liabilities as and when they fall due.
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities for financial year 2023-24 is 9.8750% and for the financial year 2022-23 is 9.8750%.

The contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
(b) Defined Benefit PlansCharacteristics of defined benefits plans (''DBO''):1. Gratuity Plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a life insurance company (''LIC'') wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit based on the respective employee''s last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The same is payable on termination of service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. Liabilities in respect of the gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes annual contributions to the plan. The plan is funded with LIC in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The Company commenced operations from 1st February, 2003 and formed a Pension Trust which inherited the Employees Group Superannuation Fund from the erstwhile Unit Trust of India. The Company makes 10% of basic salary and additional pay, wherever applicable, as employer contribution to this trust and any shortfall in the fund size as per the scheme. Some portion of the pension fund is managed by the Company. The actuarial valuation considers the asset managed by the trustee of the pension fund as well as the fund maintained by LIC. The defined benefit plan for pension of the Company is administered by separate pension fund that are legally separate from the Company. The trustees nominated by the Company are responsible for the administration of the plan.
Risk associated with defined benefits plans:
These defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks, such as Salary risk, investment risk, asset liability matching risk, interest rate risk, concentration risk, and mortality risk.
(c) The following tables summaries the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet.(x) Demographic Assumption:
Mortality in Service: Published rates under the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ult table.
Mortality in Retirement: Current LIC Buy-Out Annuity Rates prevailing as on the valuation date.
The benefit obligation results of gratuity fund are particularly sensitive to discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The benefit obligation results of pension scheme are particularly sensitive to discount rate, longevity risk, salary escalation rate and pension increases, if the plan provision do provide for such increases on commencement of pension.
The following table summarizes the change in DBO and impact in percentage terms compared with the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting year arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by changes in the below mentioned three parameters.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous year in the methods and assumption used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
~| EMPLOYEE SHARE BASED PAYMENTSEmployee stock option scheme (Equity settled)
The Company has formed an Employee Stock Option Scheme i.e. "UTI AMC Employee Stock Option Scheme 2007 ("ESOS 2007")", which covers eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The vesting of the options is from expiry of one year till three years as per plan. Each option entitles the holder thereof to apply for and be allotted / transferred one equity share of the Company upon payment of the exercise price during the exercise period.
The fair value at grant date is determined using the Black Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The measure of volatility used in the Black-Scholes Model is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the stock over a period of time.
As on the date of grant, in case of schemes ESOS 2007 - issued on 16th December, 2019, the Company being an unlisted Company, the expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
As on the date of grant in case of ESOS 2007 - issued on 28th July, 2021, 17th January, 2022 and 13th September, 2022, the Company being listed, trading history of the Company and its comparable companies listed on the stock exchange was considered. The volatility derived from this stock had been annualised for the purpose of this valuation.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit Risk
⢠Liquidity Risk
⢠Market Risk
The Company''s management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. 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.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from its investment transactions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (mostly trade receivables) and from its investing activities, which includes deposits with banks and financial institutions, and other financial assets measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum amount of credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as per the table below, it being total of carrying amount of cash and cash equivalent, trade and other receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) on Financial Assets
The Company continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument is subject to 12 month ECL (12mECL) or life time ECL (LTECL), the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or the asset has become credit impaired since initial recognition. The Company applies following quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk or the asset has been credit impaired.
⢠Historical trend of collection from counterparty
⢠Company''s contractual rights with respect to recovery of dues from counterparty
⢠Credit rating of counterparty and any relevant information available in public domain
ECL is a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. It is measured as the present value of cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents of '' 94.55 crore as on 31st March, 2023. The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks, which are rated AA- to AA , based on CRISIL ratings. The Company considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties.
Investment in Debt Securities measured at amortised cost.
The Company has made investments in bonds. Funds are invested after taking into account parameters like safety, liquidity and post tax returns etc. The Company avoids concentration of credit risk by spreading them over several counterparties with good credit rating profile and sound financial position.
Investment in debt securities that are in government bonds do not carry any credit risk, being sovereign in nature. Credit risk from other financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Accordingly, the expected probability of default is low. B. 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. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of mismatches in the timing of the cash flows under both normal and stress circumstances. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions is not available to the Company on acceptable terms. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The Company''s investment policy and strategy are focussed on preservation of capital and supporting the Company''s liquidity requirements. The Company uses a combination of internal and external management to execute its investment strategy and achieve its investment objectives. The Company typically invests in money market funds, debt funds, equity funds and other highly rated securities under a limits framework, which governs the credit exposure to any one issuer as defined in its investment policy. The policy requires investments generally to be of investment grade, with the primary objective of minimising the potential risk of principal loss.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows related to financial instrument that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, other prices). The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments, loans and deposits.
I nterest 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 financial Instruments. The investments in government securities and bonds are at fixed rate of coupon and accordingly the Company does not perceive any interest rate 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 Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (wherever revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company''s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company has insignificant amount of foreign currency denominated assets. Accordingly, the exposure to currency risk is insignificant.
Price risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices and related market variables including interest rate for investments in debt oriented mutual funds and debt securities, caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer and market. The Company''s exposure to price risk arises from diversified investments in mutual funds held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss and is as follows:
~| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:A. Fair Value Hierarchy:
As per Ind AS 107, ''Financial Instruments: Disclosures'', the fair values of the financial assets or financial liabilities are defined as the price that would be received on sale of asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The hierarchy used is as follows:
⢠Level 1 â Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
⢠Level 2 â Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Investment in all mutual fund schemes are included in Level 2.
⢠Level 3 â Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a 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.
B. Accounting classification and fair valuation:
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the requirements of the Indian Accounting Standard (''Ind AS'') 19 related to Employee Benefits, in regard to any future obligation related to Provident Fund, arising due to interest shortfall (i.e. interest rate prescribed by the government from time to time to be paid on provident fund scheme exceeds rate of interest earned on investment), the amount of shortfall, if any, will be borne by the Company. However, at present the fund does not have any existing deficit or interest shortfall. The Company voluntarily keeps the interest rate same as the rate declared by EPFO & in this process if & only if, there is any shortfall in the fund the Company bears the same.
The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss, which are included under contributions to Provident Fund
(b) Defined Benefit PlansCharacteristics of defined benefits plans (''DBO''):1. Gratuity Plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a life insurance company (the ''LIC'') wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit based on the respective employee''s last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The same is payable on termination of service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. The Company''s scheme is more favorable as compared to the obligation under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Liabilities in respect of the gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes annual contributions to the plan. The plan is funded with the LIC in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The Company commenced operations from 1st February, 2003 and formed a Pension Trust which inherited the Employees Group Superannuation Fund from the erstwhile Unit Trust of India. The Company is making 10% of basic salary and additional pay, wherever applicable, as employer contribution to this trust and any shortfall in the fund size as per the scheme. A small part of the pension fund is managed by the Company. The actuarial valuation has also duly considered the asset managed by the trustee of the pension fund as well as the fund maintained by the LIC. The defined benefit plan for pension of the Company is administered by separate pension fund that are legally separate from the Company. The trustees nominated by the Company are responsible for the administration of the plan.
Risks associated with Defined Benefit Plan:
Interest Rate Risk: A fall in the discount rate, which is linked, to the Government Securities (G-Sec) rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan''s liability. Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate, which is determined by reference to market, yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities and other debt instruments.
Asset Liability Matching (''ALM'') Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.
Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, the plan does not have any longevity risk.
Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default will wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very less as insurance companies have to follow regulatory guidelines which mitigate the risk.
(c) As required by the Ind AS19, the discount rate used to arrive at the present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on the Indian G-Sec yields prevailing as at the balance sheet date that have maturity date equivalent to the tenure of the obligation The return on plan assets is based on market expectation, at the beginning of the year, for returns over the entire life of the related obligation. The Gratuity scheme is invested in a Group Gratuity - Cum Life Assurance cash accumulation policy issued by Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India.
The investment return earned on the policy comprises of bonuses declared by LIC having regard to LIC''s investment earning. The information on the allocation of the fund into major asset classes and return on each major class are not readily available.
(d) Re-measurements arising from defined plans comprises of actuarial gains and losses on benefits obligation. As required by the Ind AS19, the Company recognises these items of re-measurements immediately in other comprehensive income and all the other expenses related to defined benefit plan as employee benefit expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(e) Ind AS 19 does not require any specific disclosures except where expense resulting from Employee Leave Encashment scheme is of such size, nature or incidence that its disclosure is relevant under another standard.
(f) The following tables summaries the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet.
The funding requirements are based on the gratuity & super annuation fund''s actuarial measurement framework set out in the funding policies of the plan. The Company generally makes annual contributions to the plan based on the actuarial valuation of ''amount recognised in the Balance Sheet as Liability at the year end.
The Company expects to pay ''13.03 crore in contributions to its defined benefit plans (super annuation fund) in FY 2022-23
Mortality in Service: Published rates under the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ult table.
Mortality in Retirement: Current LIC Buy-Out Annuity Rates prevailing as on the valuation date.
The benefit obligation results of gratuity fund are particularly sensitive to discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The benefit obligation results of pension scheme are particularly sensitive to discount rate, longevity risk, salary escalation rate and pension increases, if the plan provision do provide for such increases on commencement of pension.
The following table summarises the change in DBO and impact in percentage terms compared with the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting year arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by changes in the below mentioned three parameters.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous year in the methods and assumption used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
The liabilities arising in the Defined Benefit Schemes are determined in accordance with the advice of independent, professionally qualified actuaries, using the projected unit credit method. The Company makes regular contributions to these Employee Benefit Plans. Additional contributions are made to these plans as and when required.

As on the date of grant, in case of schemes ESOS 2007 - issued on 16th December, 2019, the Company being an unlisted Company, the expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
As on the date of grant in case of ESOS 2007 - issued on 28th July, 2021 and 17th January, 2022, the Company being listed, trading history of the Company and its comparable companies listed on the stock exchange was considered.

The Company''s management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Company''s risk management framework. The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse 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 Company''s activities.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from its investment transitions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (mostly trade receivables) and from its financing activities, which includes deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial assets measured at amortised cost. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure.
Financial services business has a risk management framework that monitors and ensures that the business lines operate within the defined risk appetite and risk tolerance levels as defined by the senior management. The credit risk function independently evaluates proposals based on well-established sector specific internal frameworks, in order to identify, mitigate and allocate risks as well as to enable risk-based pricing of assets. Regulatory and process risks are identified, mitigated and managed by a separate group.
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) on Financial Assets
The Company continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument is subject to 12 month ECL (12mECL) or life time ECL (LTECL), the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or the asset has become credit impaired since initial recognition. The Company applies following quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk or the asset has been credit impaired
- Historical trend of collection from counterparty
- Company''s contractual rights with respect to recovery of dues from counterparty
- Credit rating of counterparty and any relevant information available in public domain
ECL is a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. It is measured as the present value of cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). The Company has three types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss:
- Cash and cash equivalent
- Trade & other receivables
- Investment in debt securities measured at amortised cost
The amount of trade receivable for which the company has assessed credit risk is on an individual basis.
Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Further, management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 365 days are still collectible in full, as the same are recoverable from government entities.
Financial Instruments & cash depo7sits:
The Investments of the Company are primarily in Mutual Fund schemes. The Company holds cash & cash equivalents of '' 21.34 crore as on 31st March, 2022. The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks, which are rated AA- to AA , based on CRISIL ratings. The Company considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties.
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. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of mismatches in the timing of the cash flows under both normal and stress circumstances. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions is not available to the Company on acceptable terms. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The Company''s investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Company''s liquidity requirements. The Company uses a combination of internal and external management to execute its investment strategy and achieve its investment objectives. The Company typically invests in money market funds, large debt funds, equity funds and other highly rated securities under a limits framework, which governs the credit exposure to any one issuer as defined in its investment policy. The policy requires investments generally to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimising the potential risk of principal loss.

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows related to financial instrument that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, other prices). The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include investments, loans and deposits.
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 financial Instruments. All of the Company''s interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed rate. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect statement of profit and loss for any of these fixed interest bearing financial instruments. Fair value can change due to change in interest rate.
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 Company''s operating activities (wherever revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Company''s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company has insignificant amount of foreign currency denominated assets. Accordingly, the exposure to currency risk is insignificant.
Price risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices and related market
variables including interest rate for investments in debt oriented mutual funds and debt securities, caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer and market. The Company''s exposure to price risk arises from diversified investments in mutual funds held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss.
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the Net Asset Value (NAV) on the Company''s investment in Mutual fund and profit for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NAV increased by 5% or decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company''s investments in mutual funds moved in line with the NAV.
4lJ FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A. Fair Value Hierarchy:
As per Ind AS 107, ''Financial Instruments: Disclosures'', the fair values of the financial assets or financial liabilities are defined as the price that would be received on sale of asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The hierarchy used is as follows:
Level 1 â Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
.Level 2 â Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 â Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a 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.
A. Accounting classification and fair valuation:
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
