MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT (MDA)


GLOBAL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:
The global pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow to about US $1.9 trillion by 2027 with a CAGR of 3-6% . The growth is
expected to be driven by increased spending on pharma in Asia-pacific, India, Latin America and middle east, which are expected
to exceed global volume growth. The growth in developed countries is expected be lower compared to pharmerging markets.
US market is expected to grow by 2.5% to 5.5% helped by increased spending on existing as well as new new medicines.
The Indian Pharmaceutical Market size reached USD 48.4 Billion in 2022. It is expected to reach USD 102.7 Billion by 2028
exhibiting a growth rate of (CAGR) of 13.1% during 2023-2028. The Government of India is extensively investing in research and
development (R&D) activities that support rapid drug discovery for improving health outcomes.
Furthermore, inflating income levels and improving medical infrastructure is propelling the sales of pharmaceuticals. Some of
the other factors stimulating the growth of the market in the country are lower manufacturing costs, a highly skilled workforce,
technological advancements, and enhanced marketing and distribution system.
On the other hand, adoption of cost control policies along with tightening of rules by governments in key markets are expected
to impact the growth prospect of the global pharmaceuticals industry.
Company Overview:
(A) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Business:
The worldwide API market is likely to exceed US$ 285 Billion by 2028 – a 6.9% CAGR for the forecast period from
2023 to 2028.
The API division of Wanbury, in FY 2023 registered de-growth of -2.5% with revenue at INR 437 Crore. The de-growth
was primarily on account of steep increase in product price due to material cost inflation, low offtake from customer
in order to liquidate inventories & slow-down in Europe & US during first half of the financial year. From Q3 onwards,
the scenario started to improve and the business registered sustained recovery from the dip in first half.
The prices of key raw material started to soften from Q3 onwards, which has helped in improvement in margin. Easing
of supply chain disruption & container availability post covid has resulted into stabilised material supplies. Sertraline
continues to do well with strong order book position. New long- term business has been developed with key accounts,
which will further propel the business growth.
The company is focusing on development of new products like Ketamine, Rivaroxaban, Montelukast, Sitagliptin and
few others to reduce dependency on Metformin and Sertraline.
Some of the key initiatives for the API business being executed are as follows:
• Long term contracts with material suppliers to ensure availability of raw materials.
• Yield and process improvement to reduce cost & make the organisation more competitive.
• Exploring opportunities of expanding its existing and new products into newer markets.
• Expanding the product portfolio in order to de-risk the dependency on key molecules. A robust product selection
process and effective program management is being implemented to increase the filings of new DMFs and
diversify the product basket.
(B)  Domestic Formulations Business:
Domestic formulation business registered Annual Sales of Rs.63 Crore a 5% growth over previous year. The business is
regaining its hold in the cold & cough segment, additionally the company is also working on improving the sales for other
key Brands into different therapeutic areas.
During the year, management have initiated various measures to turnaround the business as below:
• Strengthening of talent pool.
• Automation of reporting mechanism to improve productivity.
• Customer engagement & brand promotion.
• Peoples training & productivity improvement along with detailed plan on talent retention and development.
• New brand launches
All of above is expected to yield a sustainable growth in sales for the division in near term.

35th Annual Report 2022-2023

(C) Human Resource (HR) Initiatives at Wanbury:


The Wanbury family consists of over 1120 members spread across various geographic locations and functions. We as
an HR showed a strategic and coherent approach in managing the talent and put an endeavour in employing people and
developing their capabilities, utilizing and maintaining their services. We define a set of key people who support the overall
business strategy and keep them engaged and motivated. HR policies and practices are benchmarked continuously with
the best in the industry.
(D) Threats, Risk and Concern:
As any other business, your Company is subject to various risks and threats. The key risks/ threats are as follows:
Competition:
Your Company operates in a highly competitive environment with pricing being one of the key determining factors of
success. In the API business, your Company has been able to overcome this risk by influencing the prices as it is one of the
largest manufacturer of Metformin in the world with over 10% market share. Sertraline is seeing high demand and growth
especially in international markets. As a long term strategy we are also working on development of new products to reduce
dependencies on existing products.
In the Formulations Business, the Company has mitigated this risk to a very large extent by diversifying its product portfolio
and launching new value added products.
Regulatory:
Manufacturing of pharmaceutical products is highly regulated and controlled by regulatory and government authorities
across the world. Failure to fully comply with such regulations, could lead to stringent actions from the authorities/
government. Regulators across the world, including the USFDA, have become stricter with the pharmaceutical industry.
Regulatory requirements and consequences for non-compliance are also getting more severe.
The company has laid down policies that ensure strict compliance to all regulatory requirements. Same is been reviewed
periodically to ensure that controls put in place are operating effectively.
Going Concern
The Company has initiated various measures, including restructuring of debts/business and infusion of funds etc.
Consequently, in the opinion of the management, operations of the Company will continue without interruption in spite of
negative net worth. Hence, financial statements are prepared on a “going concern” basis.
Foreign Exchange Fluctuations:
As the share of exports to total sales made by your Company is considerable, same is partly hedge through natural hedging
via raw material imports. Company also hedge it open exposure via forward cover to some extent. Further management
exercise close monitoring of currency fluctuations.
(F) Financial Review:
In accordance with the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements 2018) (Amendment) Regulations,
2018, the Company is required to give details of significant changes (change of 25% or more as compared to the
immediately previous financial year) in key financial ratios.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


TO THE MEMBERS OF WANBURY LIMITED
Report on Audit of Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Wanbury Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the
Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss including Other Comprehensive
Income/(Loss), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity, the Standalone Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended
and the Notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “standalone financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
31 March 2023, and loss, other comprehensive income/(loss), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern:
We draw attention to the Note 58 of the standalone financial statements, regarding preparation of standalone financial statements
on going concern basis. The Company’s net worth is negative. One of the lender has filed application with Mumbai Debt Recovery
Tribunal – I for the recovery of dues. The Company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest to some of its lenders and
its current liabilities far exceeds its current assets resulting in delayed payments and overdue amounts. These conditions indicate
that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
appropriateness of the assumption of the going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise finance, negotiate with
creditors, generate cash flows in future to meet its obligation, to restructure its borrowings and business. Hence, the standalone
financial statements have been prepared on “going concern” basis for the reasons stated in aforesaid note.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the standalone financial statements:
a. Note 42(a) of the standalone financial statements regarding guarantee given in respect of Exim Bank’s investment in
Wanbury Holding B.V., a subsidiary of the Company; and
b. Note 46(a) of the standalone financial statements regarding the status of merger of erstwhile PPIL with the Company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

(Refer Note 60 of the standalone financial statements)
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon (“Other information”)
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor’s report thereon. The
annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Company’s annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws
and regulations.
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance including other comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity of the Company
in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS prescribed under Section 133 of
the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder.

53
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect
a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the
operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of directors use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (“the Order”), issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in the “Annexure A” a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


(The Annexure referred to in para 2 (f) under the heading “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” of our report of
even date to the Members of WANBURY LIMITED on the Standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of WANBURY LIMITED (“the Company”)
as of 31 March 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on
that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal
control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly
and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention
and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation and
presentation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements
based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act,
2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the above mentioned Guidance Note
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system
with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference
to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company’s internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial
statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility
of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

60
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023 based on the internal control with reference
to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

4. ROUNDING OFF OF AMOUNTS
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest Lakh.
5. CURRENT VERSUS NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION
The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are presented based on current/non-current classification.
An asset is a current asset when it is:
• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, or
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current assets.
A liability is a current liability when it is:
• Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, or
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
• Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.
All other liabilities are treated as non-current liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non- current assets and liabilities respectively.
Operating Cycle:
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of the assets
and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for
the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a. Property, plant and equipment:
All items of Property, plant and equipment other than freehold land are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Freehold land is stated at revalued amount.
Revaluation of Land is made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially
from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. When the fair value differs materially
from its carrying amount, the carrying amount is adjusted to the revalued amount. The fair value is determined based

35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
on appraisal undertaken by a professionally qualified valuer.
Cost includes cost of acquisition, installation or construction, other direct expenses incurred to bring the assets to its
working condition and finance costs incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and excludes GST
eligible for credit/setoff, wherever applicable.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates
them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is
recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising
of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
All identifiable Revenue expenses including interest incurred in respect of various projects/expansion, net of income
earned during the project development stage prior to its intended use, are considered pre-operative expenses and
disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
Capital expenditure on tangible assets for research and development is classified under property, plant and equipment
and is depreciated on the same basis as other property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised either on disposal or when retires from active use. Losses arising
in the case of the retirement of property, plant and equipment and gains or losses arising from disposal of property,
plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.
Depreciation & Amortisation:
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated
residual value. Depreciation on the property, plant and equipment is provided based on straight line method, over
the useful life of the assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Property, plant and equipment
which are added / disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated from the commencement date/Revaluation date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and balance useful life of the underlying asset. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the
useful life specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, where the lease period of the land is beyond the life
of the building. In other cases, building constructed on leasehold lands are amortised over the primary lease period
of the lands.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.Advances given towards acquisition of Property, plant and equipment
outstanding at Balancesheet date are disclosed as Capital Advances under “Non Current Assets - Others”.
b. Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding development costs as defined in Ind AS, are not capitalised and the
related expenditure is reflected in statement of profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Software is amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line basis from the date they are available for
intended use or the period of the license as applicable, subject to impairment test.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at
least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption
of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when
the assets is derecognised.

35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Research and Development:
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of
products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless a product’s technological
feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalized. These costs are charged to the
respective heads in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred. The amount capitalized comprises of
expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing
and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment and Other Intangible Assets utilized
for research and development are capitalized and depreciated/ amortised in accordance with the policies stated for
Property, plant and equipment and Other Intangible Assets.
c. Non-Current assets held for sale:
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally
through a sale rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. Non-current assets as
held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. These assets are
presented separately in balance sheet. Property, plant and equipment are not depreciatedonce classified as held for
sale.
d. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets:
The carrying amount of Non-Financial Assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets )/ Cash Generating
Units (‘CGU’) are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal /
external factors. An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss wherever the carrying amount
of a Non-Financial Assets /CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is greater of the asset’s
net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and risks specific to the assets. A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on the
changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that
would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation / amortization, if there was no impairment.
e. Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets:
Classification:
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’), on the basis of its business model for
managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially at fair value
plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement:
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two broad categories:
• Financial assets at fair value (FVTPL/FVTOCI)
• Financial assets at amortised cost
When assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised in the statement of profit and loss
(i.e. fair value through profit or loss- FVTPL), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fairvalue through
other comprehensive income -FVTOCI).
Financial Assets measured at amortised cost (net of write down for impairment, if any):
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost when asset is held within a business model, whose objective is
to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows and contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Such financial assets are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method less impairment, if any. The losses arising from
impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Financial assets measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’):
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value, when asset
is held within a business model, whose objective is to hold assets for both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling financial assets Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’):
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value with all
changes recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria
are measured at FVTPL.
Investment in Subsidiary:
Investment in equity instruments of subsidiaries are measured at cost as per IndAS 27. In the financial statements,
investments in subsidiary companies are carried at cost. The carrying amount is reduced to recognise any impairment
in the value of investment.
Derecognition of Financial Assets:
A financial asset is primarily derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the
Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Impairment of Financial Assets (Other than at Fair Value):
In accordance with Ind AS 109, The Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTOCI debt instrument.
The company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which
do not contain a significant financing component.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it
recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Financial Liabilities:
Classification:
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans, borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative
financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Interest bearing Loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (‘EIR’) method. Gains and Losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through EIR amortization process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are
an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities:
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition
of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derivative Financial Instrument:
Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to mitigate its foreign currency
risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets
when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any changes therein are
generally recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
f. Inventories:
Raw materials and packing materials are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value, cost of which includes duties and
taxes - net of set-offable GST/Custom Duty wherever applicable. Finished products including traded goods and work-in-
progress are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is arrived on moving average basis.
The cost of inventories have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion, standard overheads and
other related cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion
and selling expenses necessary to make the sale.
Slow and non-moving material, products nearing expiry, obsolesces defective inventory are fully provided for and valued
at net realizable value.
Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred up to the reporting date.
Materials and other items held for use in production of inventories are not written down, if the finished products in which
they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.
g. Trade Receivables :
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of
business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain
significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with
the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost, less loss
allowance.
h. Cash and Cash Equivalents :
Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise of cash on hand and cash at bank including fixed deposit/highly liquid investments
with original maturity period of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered an integral part of the
Company’s cash management
i. Cash Flow Statements :
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit/(loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash in nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and
item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flow from operating, investing and
financing activities of the Company is segregated.
j. Foreign Currency Transactions:
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are normally recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the
transaction.
Monetary items, denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are re-measured at the exchange rate prevailing
on the reporting date. Non-monetary foreign currency items denominated in foreign currency are carried at cost and not
re-measured at the exchange rate prevailing as at reporting date.
Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on re-measurement is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
k. Revenue Recognition:
The Company derives revenue primarily from sale of manufactured goods and traded goods
The Company applied Indian Accounting Standard 115 (Ind AS 115) –‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised – net of returns, discounts and rebates and taxes collected from customers–
if the following conditions are met:
• The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer.
• The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor
effective control over the goods sold.
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

72
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
• The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue is recognised on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised products to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
The transaction price is documented on the sales invoice and payment is generally due as per agreed credit terms with
customer.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or
services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it does not adjust any of the
transaction prices for the time value of money.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point of time that the consideration is unconditional
because only the passage of time is required before the payment is done.
Dividend income is recognised when right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on time
proportion basis. Insurance and other claims are recognised as revenue on certainty of receipt on prudent basis.
Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and there is
no uncertainty in receiving the same. Export benefit receivables are carried at net realisable value.
l. Employee Benefits :
(i) Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months from reporting date are classified as short term employee
benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives and the
expected cost of bonusex-gratiaetcare recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
Gratuity plan
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (‘the Gratuity Plan’) covering eligible employees.
The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or
termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment
with the Company.
Liabilities with regard to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, Performed by an independent actuary,
at each balance sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The Company contributes all ascertained liabilities to the group gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of
India as permitted by laws of India.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligations reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the
present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme. The Company recognises
the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Actuarial gains and losses
are recognised in full in the other comprehensive income for the period in which they occur. The effect of any plan
amendments are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Compensated absences
Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature.
The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an
independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method.
Liability in respect of Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end
of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised at the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised in the period in which the absences occur.
(iii) Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services
entitling them to such benefits. The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident
funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been
paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as
employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a
cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

73
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
m. Employees Stock Options Plans (“ESOPs”) :
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant
date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting
period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in
equity. The increase in equity recognised in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate
component in Equity under “Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve”. At the end of each reporting period, the
Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the
original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the
revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve. The Company
recognises compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind
AS 102, Share-Based Payment.
n. Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the terms agreed. Trade and other payables are
presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised
initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
o. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured
at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised
in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to
another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in
profit or loss as other gains/(losses).
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan
arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on
the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lenders agree, after the reporting period and
before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.
p. Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that
an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent
regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
q. Lease :
The Company lease assets primarily consists of office premises which are generally cancellable and leasehold land. 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 has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) 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 leases of low value assets. For these short term and leases of low value assets, the Company
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets other than leasehold land are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount
of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease
plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Leasehold land are stated at revalued amount. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated from the commencement date/Revaluation date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and balance useful life of the underlying asset. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
74
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing
rates. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease
liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change
in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The remeasurement normally also adjusts the leased assets.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and the lease payments have
been classified as financing cash flows.
r. Government Grant
Grants from the Government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and the Company will comply with all the attached condition.
Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and there is
no uncertainty in receiving the same.
s. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the
company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period[including instruments which
are mandatorily convertible into equity shares of the Company (if any)]. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by
dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity
shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares
that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares
are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value. Dilutive potential equity
shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity
shares are determined independently for each period presented.
t. Income Taxes :
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax.
Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment
to the tax payable or receivable in respect of prior periods. It is measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted by the balance sheet date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company;
• Has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
• Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purpose.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related
tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable
that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Minimum Alternate Tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognised as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is
convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can
be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
u. Provisions, contingent Liabilities, contingent assets and commitments :
Provision(legal and constructive) are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive)as
a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an
appropriate discount 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 recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are not discounted to its present value and are
determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed
for;
• A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation;
• A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimates is possible;
• A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the standalone financial statements. Contingent assets are neither
recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets and Non-
cancellable operating lease.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
v. Fair value measurement:
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date in accordance
with Ind AS 113. Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material
items in the statement of financial position;
• Derivative financial instruments, if any, are measured at fair value received from Bank.
• Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) at fair value as per Actuarial Valuation Report.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or settle a liability in an ordinary transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable.
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis
of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained
above.

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
w. Exceptional Items
Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the financial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide further
understanding of the financial performance of the Company. These are material items of income or expense that have to
be shown separately due to the significance of their nature or amount.
x. Recent accounting pronouncements:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On 31 March 2023, MCA amended the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules,
2023, applicable from 1 April 2023, as below:
Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting
policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected
to influence decisions of primary users of general-purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this
amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition
of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a revised definition of accounting estimates. Under the
new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement
uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be
measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any
significant impact in its financial statements. The Company will evaluate these amendments to give effect as required by
law.
Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning
obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12
(recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and
deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.

7. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS:


The preparation of standalone Company’s financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and under lying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
a. Property, plant and equipment :
Determination of the estimated useful life of tangible assets and the assessment as to which components of the cost
may be capitalized. Useful life of tangible assets is based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act,
2013. Assumptions also need to be made, when Company assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which
components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised.
b. Allowance for Inventories :
Management reviews the inventory age listing on a periodic basis. The review involves comparison of the carrying
value of the aged inventory items with the respective net realizable value. The purpose is to ascertain whether an
allowance is required to be made in the financial statement for any obsolete and slow-moving items. Management
is satisfied that adequate allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories has been made in the Company’s
financial statements.
Management also reviews net realisable value for all its inventory and is satisfied that adequate allowance has been
made in the financial statements.
c. Intangible Assets :
Internal technical or user team assesses the remaining useful lives of Intangible assets. Management believes that
assigned useful lives are reasonable.
d. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations :
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial
assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The
discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on the government
77
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment
benefit obligations.
e. Recognition of deferred tax assets and income tax :
Deferred tax asset is recognised for all the deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. The management
assumes that taxable profits will be available while recognising deferred tax assets.
Management judgment is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and
liabilities. The Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors
used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported
in the standalone financial statements.
f. Recognition and measurement of other provisions :
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow
of resources, and on past experience and circumstances known at the balance sheet date. The actual outflow of
resources at a future date may, therefore, vary from the figure included in other provisions.
g. Contingencies :
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/
claim/litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
h. Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances :
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at values as reduced by appropriate allowances for
estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management considers them not
collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over
the expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates.
Judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past
history, existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
i. Insurance Claims :
Insurance claims are recognised when the Company has reasonable certainty of recovery.
j. Impairment Reviews :
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an non-financial asset or cash generating unit (‘CGU’) exceeds its
recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The
value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions
are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management’s expectations of growth in
EBITDA, long term growth rates; and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.

The carrying amounts of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to factoring arrangement. Under this
arrangement, the company has transferred the relevant receivables to the “Factor” in exchange for cash and is prevented from
selling or pledging the reeceivables. However, the Company has retained late payment and credit risk. The Company therefore
continues to recognise the transferred assets in thier entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under the factoring
agreement is presented as secured borrowing. The Company considers the held to collect business model to remain appropriate
for these receivables and hence continues measuring them at amortised cost.

The relevant carrying amount are as follows:

Company had sought legal opinion and the Company was advised to maintain status quo ante with respect to the
merger under the said Scheme and that it should take further steps only on the basis of the fresh BIFR Order.
In view of the above, the Company had maintained a status quo in the past. However, all actions taken by the

Sensitivity Analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation.
Following is the amount of defined benefit obligation that would have been if there is a certain change in assumption as
indicated below:
(₹ in Lakhs)
31 March 2023 31 March 2022
Particulars
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Discount rate (1% movement) 964.04 1,133.58 859.55 1,018.01
Salary growth rate (1% movement) 1,117.90 972.54 1,002.42 869.08
Withdrawal rate (10% movement) 1,044.24 1,041.90 933.12 933.25
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation
as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be
correlated.
Although the analysis does not take into account full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide
an approximation of sensitivity of assumptions. The estimate of future increase in compensation levels, considered in the
actuarial valuation, have been taken on account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply
and demand in the employment market.
The expected contribution for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with current financial year.
The Average outstanding terms of obligations (years) as at valuation date is 8.86 years (Pr.Yr. 8.69 years) .
Death Benefit:
The Company provides for death benefit, a defined benefit plan, (the death benefit plan) to certain categories of employees.
The death benefit plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees on death, being compensation received from
the insurance company and restricted to limits set forth in the said plan. The death benefit plan is non – funded.
Leave Encashment:
The Company’s employees are entitled for compensated absences which are allowed to be accumulated and encashed as
per the Company’s rule. The liability of compensated absences, which is non-funded, has been provided based on report
of independent actuary using the “Projected Unit Credit Method”.
Accordingly aggregate of ₹ 516.52 Lakhs (Pr. Yr. ₹ 457.23 Lakhs) being liability as at the year end for compensated
absences as per actuarial valuation has been provided in the accounts.

102
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Actuary has outlined the following risks associated with the plans:
A. Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into
an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates:
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid
earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cashflow will lead
to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the leave benefit will be paid earlier
than expected. The acceleration of cashflow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of
the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates:
If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid
earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the leave benefit will be paid
earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount
rate.
Variability in availment rates:
If actual availment rates are higher than assumed availment rate assumption then leave balances will be utilised
earlier than expected. This will result in reduction in leave balances and Obligation.
B. Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be
the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the
future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant
changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
C. Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits.
If some of such employees resign/retire from the Company there can be strain on the cashflows.
D. Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One
actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money.
An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This
assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed
to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the
legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay
higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the
same will have to be recognised immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
54. Employees Stock Options Plan (‘ESOP’)
The Company has established an Employee Stock Options Plan 2016 (‘WANBURY ESOP – 2016’) which was approved
by the shareholders vide their resolution dated 29 September 2016. The options issued under the above scheme vest in
phased manner. Each option entitles an employee to subscribe to one equity share of the Company at an exercise price of
₹ 10 per share.
The options will be vested over a period of five years subject to continuous employment with the Company and the
fulfillment of performance parameters.

B. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that
are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed
in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the
Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the Indian Accounting Standard. An
explanation of each level is as follows:
108
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices in active markets or identical
assets and liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (like forward contracts) is determined
using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-
specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are observable, the instrument is included in
level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in
level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities etc. included in level 3.
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
The fair value of the quoted investment is determined using traded quoted bid prices in an active market. The fair value of
unquoted investments is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for assets
and liabilities.

C. Financial Risk Management
The Company has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
 Credit Risk
• Trade Receivables
• Other Financial Instruments
 Liquidity Risk
 Market Risk
• Currency Risk
• Interest Rate Risk
• Price Risk
i. Risk Management Framework
The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk
management framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management
policies, under the guidance of Audit Committee.
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 the Company’s activities. The Company, through its
training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment
in which all employees understand their roles and obligation.
The Company’s Audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management
policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the
Company. The Audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and
ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit committee.

35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
ii. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party 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 (primarily trade receivables) and
from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
(a) Trade Receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company subject to Company’s established policy, procedures and control
relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are mainly from wholesalers, non-interest bearing and
are generally on 7 days to 120 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating
criteria and any deviation in credit limit require approval of Directors. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly
monitored. The Company has no concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically
and geographically.
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 calculation
is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of
financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with
respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent
markets. Trade receivables do not contain any significant financing component and hence, the Company recognises life
time expected credit loss based on simplified approach.

Utilised/Reversal during the year (9.46) (238.82)
Balance as at the end of the year 211.20 220.66
(b) Other Financial Instruments
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks or
financial institutions with high credit rating assigned by credit rating agencies. For other financial assets, the Company
assesses and manages the credit risk internally. The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition
and assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk subsequently based in the historical losses and
forward looking supportable information. Based on general approach, if there is a significant increase in credit risk of a
financial asset since its initial recognition the Company recognises life time expected credit loss otherwise 12 months
expected credit loss is recognised.

Balance as at the end of the year 3,443.71 3,549.18
iii. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations
without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company’s objective is to maintain optimum level of liquidity at all times, to
meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash
management system. It maintains adequate sources of financing including bilateral loans, debt etc. at an optimised cost.
Working capital requirements are adequately addressed by internally generated and borrowed funds.
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment
periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest
date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the
extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the
reporting period.

iv. 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 Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments, and derivative financial
instruments.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts
to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by
the risk management committee.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit
obligations, provisions and on the non financial assets and liabilities.
(a) Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales,
purchases and borrowings are denominated and the functional currency of the Company.
The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are US dollars (US $), Pound (GBP) and Euro.
As the share of exports to total sales made by your Company is considerable, same is partly hedge through natural hedging
via raw material imports. Further management exercise close monitoring of currency fluctuations.
During the previous year ended 31 March 2022 the Company has not entered into any forward exchange contract.
During the year ended 31 March 2023, the Company has entered into forward exchange contract, being derivative
instrument to mitigate foreign currency risk, to establish the amount of currency in India Rupees required or avaibale at the
settlement date of certain payables and receivables

instruments.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to 1% increase and decrease in the exchange rate between the Indian
Rupee and respective currencies. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit/ decrease in losses and negative
number indicates decrease in profit/ increase in losses:

US $ (18.65) (20.58) 18.65 20.58
(b) 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.
Majority of borrowings of the Company are at fixed interest rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not
subject to interest rate risks, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because off a change
in market interest rates.
(c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. However, there is no material impact of the
sensitivity.
61. Revenue (Ind AS 115)
The operations of the Company are limited to only one segment viz. pharmaceuticals and related products. Revenue from
contract with customers is from sale of manufactured/traded goods. Sale of goods are made at a point in time and revenue
is recognised upon satisfaction of the performance obligations which is typically upon dispatch / delivery. The Company
has a credit evaluation policy based on which the credit limits for the trade receivables are established. The credit period
provided by the Company is not significant, hence there is no significant financing component.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


TO THE MEMBERS OF WANBURY LIMITED
Report on the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of WANBURY LIMITED (“the Holding Company” or “the
Company”) and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) comprising of the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss including Other Comprehensive
Income/(Loss), the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then
ended, and the Notes to the Consolidated financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration
of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements of such subsidiaries as were audited by other auditors, the aforesaid
consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of
affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2023, of the consolidated loss, other comprehensive income/(loss), consolidated changes in
equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India, and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of audit reports of the other
auditors referred to in sub paragraph (a) of the “Other Matters” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion on the consolidated financial statement.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern:
We draw attention to the Note 59 of the consolidated financial statements, regarding preparation of consolidated financial
statements on going concern basis. The Group’s net worth is negative. One of the lender of the Holding Company has filed
application with Mumbai Debt Recovery Tribunal – I for the recovery of dues. The Group has defaulted in repayment of principal
and interest to some of its lenders, and its current liabilities far exceeds its current assets resulting in delayed payments and
overdue amounts. These conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The appropriateness of the assumption of the going concern is dependent on the Group’s
ability to raise finance, negotiate with creditors, generate cash flows in future to meet its obligation, to restructure its borrowings
and business. Hence, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on “going concern” basis for the reasons stated
in aforesaid note.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements:
a. Note 44(a) of the consolidated financial statements regarding guarantee given in respect of Exim Bank’s investment in
Wanbury Holding B.V., a subsidiary of the Holding Company; and
b. Note 48(a) of the consolidated financial statements regarding the status of merger of erstwhile PPIL with the Holding
Company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

There are no reportable KAM as per Subsidiary Companies Auditors Report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon (“Other information”)
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor’s report
thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Holding Company’s annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the
relevant laws and regulations.

117
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income/(loss), consolidated
statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder.
The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the
consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included
in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
process of each company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect
a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in
preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the
related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of such entities or business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements, of which we are the independent auditors. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included
in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the
consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in sub-paragraph (a) of the “Other Matters” paragraph
below.

118
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of audit reports of the other auditors referred to
in sub-paragraph (a) of the “Other Matters” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated
financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of three subsidiaries whose financial statements reflect total assets (before
consolidation adjustments) of Rs. 162.49 Lakhs as at 31 March 2023, total revenues (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs. Nil,
net profit / loss after tax (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs. Nil and net cash inflows amounting to Rs. Nil for the year ended
on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have been audited by other
auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements
in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, and our report in terms of sub-
section (3) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiary is based solely on the audit reports of the
other auditors.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

(The Annexure referred to in para 1 (f) under the heading “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” of our report of
even date to the Members of WANBURY LIMITED on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended 31 March 2023,
we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company as of that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
Board of Directors of the Holding Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on
the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”)”. These responsibilities include the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements that were operating effectively for
ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the company’s policies, the safeguarding of its
assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the
timely preparation and presentation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section 143(10) of the
Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the above mentioned
Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if
such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system
with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference
to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Holding Company’s internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial
statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility
of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Holding Company has, in
all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023, based on the internal
control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
ICAI.

35th Annual Report 2022-2023

Other Matters
Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements is restricted to the Holding Company since all the subsidiaries of the Group are
foreign subsidiaries, which are not subject to the report on the Internal Financial Controls.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Operating Cycle:
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of the assets and their
realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of
classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a. Property, plant and equipment :
All items of Property, plant and equipment other than freehold land are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Freehold Land is stated at revalued amount.
Revaluation of Land is made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially
from that which would be determined using fair value at the balance sheet date. When the fair value differs materially
from its carrying amount, the carrying amount is adjusted to the revalued amount. The fair value is determined based
on appraisal undertaken by a professionally qualified valuer.
Cost includes cost of acquisition, installation or construction, other direct expenses incurred to bring the assets to its
working condition and finance costs incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and excludes GST
eligible for credit/setoff, wherever applicable.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them
separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised
in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other
repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising
of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
All identifiable Revenue expenses including interest incurred in respect of various projects/expansion, net of income
earned during the project development stage prior to its intended use, are considered pre-operative expenses and
disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
Capital expenditure on tangible assets for research and development is classified under property, plant and equipment
and is depreciated on the same basis as other property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised either on disposal or when retired from active use. Losses arising
in the case of the retirement of property, plant and equipment and gains or losses arising from disposal of property,
plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.
Depreciation & Amortisation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual
value. Depreciation on the property, plant and equipment is provided based on straight line method, over the useful
life of the assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Property, plant and equipment which are
added / disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis. Right-of-use assets are depreciated
from the commencement date / Revaluation date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and
balance useful life of the underlying asset. Buildings constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the
useful life specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, where the lease period of the land is beyond the life
of the building. In other cases, building constructed on leasehold lands are amortised over the primary lease period
of the lands.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Advances given towards acquisition of Property, plant and equipment
outstanding at Balance sheet date are disclosed as Capital Advances under “Non Current Assets - Others”.
b. Intangible Assets :
Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss, if any.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding development costs as defined in IndAS, are not capitalised and the related
expenditure is reflected in statement of profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Software is amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line basis from the date they are available for
intended use or the period of the license as applicable, subject to impairment test.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at
least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption
of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when
the assets is derecognised.
Research and Development
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Development
costs of products are also charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless
a product’s technological feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalized. These
costs are charged to the respective heads in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred.
The amount capitalized comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and
consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment
and Other Intangible Assets utilized for research and development are capitalized and depreciated / amortised in
accordance with the policies stated for Property, plant and equipment and Other Intangible Assets.
c. Non-Current assets held for sale :
The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through
a sale rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. Non-current assets as held
for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. These assets are
presented separately in balance sheet. Property, plant and equipment are not depreciated once classified as held for
sale.
d. Impairment of non-financial assets :
The carrying amount of Non-Financial Assets(other than inventories and deffered tax assets)/ Cash Generating Units
(‘CGU’) are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal / external
factors. An impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss wherever the carrying
amount of a Non-Financial Assets / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is greater of the
asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and risks specific to the assets. A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on the
changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that
would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation / amortisation if there was no impairment.
e. Financial Instruments :
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets:
Classification:
The Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’), on the basis of its business model for
managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially at fair value
plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement:
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two broad categories:
• Financial assets at fair value (FVTPL/FVTOCI)
• Financial assets at amortised cost
When assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised in the consolidated statement of
profit and loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss- FVTPL), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair
value through other comprehensive income -FVTOCI).
132
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Financial Assets measured at amortised cost (net of write down for impairment, if any):
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost when asset is held within a business model, whose objective is
to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows and contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Such financial assets are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method less impairment, if any. The losses arising from
impairment are recognised in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’):
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value, when asset
is held within a business model, whose objective is to hold assets for both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling financial assets. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’):
Financial assets under this category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value with all
changes recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria
are measured at FVTPL.
Derecognition of Financial Assets:
A financial asset is primarily derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the
Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Impairment of Financial Assets (Other than at Fair Value):
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition
of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTOCI debt instrument.
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which do
not contain a significant financing component.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Financial Liabilities:

Classification:
The Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans, borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative
financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Interest bearing Loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (‘EIR’) method. Gains and Losses
are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR amortization process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are
an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Consolidated statement of Profit
& Loss.
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities:
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition
of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

133
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Derivative Financial Instrument:
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to mitigate its foreign currency
risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets
when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any changes therein are
generally recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
f. Inventories:
Raw materials and packing materials are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value, cost of which includes
duties and taxes - net of set offable GST/Custom Duty wherever applicable. Finished products including traded goods
and work-in-progress are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is arrived on moving average basis.
The cost of inventories have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion, standard overheads
and other related cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses necessary to make the sale.
Slow and non-moving material, product nearing expiry obsolesces defective inventory are fully provided for and
valued at net realizable value.
Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred up to the reporting date.
Materials and other items held for use in production of inventories are not written down, if the finished products in
which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.
g. Trade Receivables :
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course
of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless
they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade
receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at
amortised cost, less loss allowance.
h. Cash and Cash Equivalents :
Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise of cash on hand and cash at bank including fixed deposit/highly liquid
investments with original maturity period of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalent consists of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered
an integral part of the Group’s cash management
i. Cash Flow Statements :
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit/(loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of
transactions of a non-cash in nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments
and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flow from operating,
investing and financing activities of the Group is segregated.
j. Foreign Currency Transactions :
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are normally recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of
the transaction.
Monetary items, denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are re-measured at the exchange rate
prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary foreign currency items denominated in foreign currency are carried at
cost and not re-measured at the exchange rate prevailing as at reporting date.
Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on re-measurement is recognised
in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss.
In case of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Holding Company’s functional currency,
the assets and liabilities of such foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising upon
acquisition, are translated to the reporting currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses
of such foreign operations are translated to the reporting currency at the average exchange rates prevailing during
the year. Resulting foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income/ (loss) and presented
within equity as part of FCTR. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the
FCTR is reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as a part of gain or loss on disposal.

134
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
k. Revenue Recognition :
The Group derives revenue primarily from sale of manufactured goods and traded goods.
The Group applied Indian Accounting Standard 115 (Ind AS 115) –‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised – net of returns, discounts and rebates and taxes collected from
customers – if the following conditions are met:
• The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer.
• The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership
nor effective control over the goods sold.
• The amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group.
• The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue is recognised on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised products to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for those products.
The transaction price is documented on the sales invoice and payment is generally due as per agreed credit terms
with the customer.
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or
services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it does not adjust any
of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in the time that the consideration is
unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is done.
Dividend income is recognised when right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on time
proportion basis. Insurance and other claims are recognised as revenue on certainty of receipt on prudent basis.
Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and there
is no uncertainty in receiving the same. Export benefit receivables are carried at net realisable value.
l. Employee Benefits of The Holding Company:
(i) Short term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months from reporting date are classified as short term employee
benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives and the
expected cost of bonus ex-gratia etc are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
Gratuity plan
The Holding Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (‘the Gratuity Plan’) covering eligible
employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation
or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment
with the Holding Company.
Liabilities with regard to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, Performed by an independent actuary,
at each balance sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The Holding Company contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Group gratuity scheme with Life Insurance
Corporation of India as permitted by laws of India.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined
benefit obligations reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any assets resulting from this calculation is limited to
the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme. The Group recognises
the net obligations of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Actuarial gains and losses
are recognised in full in the other comprehensive income for the period in which they occur. The effect of any plan
amendments are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

135
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Compensated absences
The Holding Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating
in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed
by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method.
Liabilities in respect of Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end
of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised at the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services
entitling them to such benefits. The Holding Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered
provident funds as per local regulations. The Holding Company has no further payment obligations once the
contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions
are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset
to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
m. Employees Stock Options Plans (“ESOPs”) of The Holding Company:
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the
grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed
over the vesting period, based on the Holding Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest,
with a corresponding increase in equity. The increase in equity recognized in connection with share based payment
transaction is presented as a separate component in Equity under “Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve”.
At the end of each reporting period, the Holding Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments
expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit
or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the
Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve. The Holding Company recognises compensation expense relating to
share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment.
n. Trade and Other Payables:
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the terms agreed. Trade and other
payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.
They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
o. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption
amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished
or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other gains/(losses).
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of
the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a
long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes
payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lenders agree,
after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a
consequence of the breach.
p. Borrowing Costs :
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes
a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and
other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange
differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

136
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
q. Lease :
The Group lease assets primarily consists of office premises which are generally cancellable and leasehold land.
The Group assesses whether a contract is or 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 Group
assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease
and
(iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) 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 leases of low value assets. For these short term and leases of low value assets, the Group
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets other than leasehold land are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount
of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease
plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Leasehold land are stated at revalued amount. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated from the commencement / Revaluation date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term
and balance useful life of the underlying asset. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing
rates. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease
liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change
in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The re-measurement normally also adjusts the leased assets.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and the lease payments have
been classified as financing cash flows.
r. Government Grant:
Grants from the Government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will
be received and the Group will comply with all the attached condition.
Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and there
is no uncertainty in receiving the same.
s. Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the
Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period [including instruments
which are mandatorily convertible into equity shares (if any)]. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by
dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number
of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number
of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive
potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair
value. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a
later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
t. Income Taxes :
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax.
Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable of receivable in respect of prior periods. It is measured using tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted by the balance sheet date.

137
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Group;
• Has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and
• Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purpose.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related
tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable
that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Minimum Alternate Tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognised as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing
evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward
for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date
and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.
u. Provisions, contingent Liabilities, contingent assets and commitments:
Provision (legal and constructive) are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal and constructive) as
a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect
of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted
using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are not discounted to its present value and
are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed
at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are
disclosed for;
• A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation;
• Present obligations arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
• A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Contingent assets are
neither recognised not disclosed in the financial statements.
Commitments includes the amount of purchase order(net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets and
Non-cancellable operating lease.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
v. Fair value measurement :
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date in accordance
with IND AS 113. Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following
material items in the statement of financial position;

138
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
• Derivative financial instruments, if any, are measured at fair value received from Bank.
• Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) at fair value as per Actuarial Valuation Report.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or settle a liability in an ordinary transaction between
market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable.
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis
of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained
above.
w. Exceptional Items
Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the financial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide
further understanding of the financial performance of the Group. These are material items of income or expense that
have to be shown separately due to the significance of their nature or amount.
x. Recent accounting pronouncements:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On 31 March 2023, MCA amended the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2023, applicable from 1 April 2023 as below:
Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant
accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably
be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general-purpose financial statements. The Group does not
expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition
of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a revised definition of accounting estimates. Under the
new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement
uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be
measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Group does not expect this amendment to have any
significant impact in its financial statements. The Group will evaluate these amendments to give effect as required by
law.

139
35th Annual Report 2022-2023

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning
obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS
12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal
taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Group is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.
8. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS:
The preparation of Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and under lying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any
revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
a. Property, plant and equipment :
Determination of the estimated useful life of tangible assets and the assessment as to which components of the cost
may be capitalized. Useful life of tangible assets is based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act,
2013. Assumptions also need to be made, when the Group assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which
components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised.
b. Allowance for Inventories:
Management reviews the inventory age listing on a periodic basis. The review involves comparison of the carrying
value of the aged inventory items with the respective net realizable value. The purpose is to ascertain whether an
allowance is required to be made in the financial statement for any obsolete and slow-moving items. Management is
satisfied that adequate allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories has been made in the Group’s financial
statements.
Management also reviews net realisable value for all its inventory and is satisfied that adequate allowance has been
made in the financial statements.
c. Intangible Assets :
Internal technical or user team assesses the remaining useful lives of Intangible assets. Management believes that
assigned useful lives are reasonable.
d. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations :
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial
assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The
discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on the government
bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment
benefit obligations.
e. Recognition of deferred tax assets and income tax :
Deferred tax asset is recognised for all the deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. The management
assumes that taxable profits will be available while recognising deferred tax assets.
Management judgment is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and
liabilities. The Group reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors
used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported
in the financial statements.
f. Recognition and measurement of other provisions :
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow
of resources, and on past experience and circumstances known at the balance sheet date. The actual outflow of
resources at a future date may, therefore, vary from the figure included in other provisions.
g. Contingencies :
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/
claim/litigations against group as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
h. Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances :
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at values as reduced by appropriate allowances for
estimated irrecoverable amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management considers them not
collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over
the expected life of the financial assets.
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about risk of default and expected loss rates.
Judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past
history, existing market condition as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
i. Insurance Claims :
Insurance claims are recognised when the Group has reasonable certainty of recovery.
j. Impairment Reviews :
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an non-financial asset or cash generating unit (‘CGU’) exceeds its
recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The
value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. In calculating the value in use, certain assumptions
are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management’s expectations of growth in
EBITDA, long term growth rates; and the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.

The carrying amounts of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to factoring arrangement. Under this
arrangement, the Company has transferred the relevant receivables to the “Factor” in exchange for cash and is prevented from
selling or pledging the receivables. However, the Company has retained late payment and credit risk. The Company therefore
continues to recognise the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under the factoring
agreement is presented as secured borrowing. The Company considers the held to collect business model to remain appropriate
for these receivables and hence continues measuring them at amortised cost.
The relevant carrying amounts are as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation.
Following is the amount of defined benefit obligation that would have been if there is a certain change in assumption as indicated
below:
(` in Lakhs)

Particulars 31 March 2023 31 March 2022


Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
Discount rate (1% movement) 964.04 1,133.58 859.55 1,018.01

Withdrawal rate (10% movement) 1,044.24 1,041.90 933.12 933.25
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is
unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Although the analysis does not take into account full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does provide an
approximation of sensitivity of assumptions. The estimate of future increase in compensation levels, considered in the actuarial
valuation, have been taken on account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand
in the employment market.
The expected contribution for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with current financial year.
The Average outstanding terms of obligations (years) as at valuation date is 8.86 years (Pr.Yr. 8.69 years).

The Holding Company’s employees are entitled for compensated absences which are allowed to be accumulated and encashed
as per the Holding Company’s rule. The liability of compensated absences, which is non-funded, has been provided based on
report of independent actuary using the “Projected Unit Credit Method”.
Accordingly aggregate of ₹ 516.52 Lakhs (Pr. Yr. ₹ 457.23 Lakhs) being liability as at the year end for compensated absences
as per actuarial valuation has been provided in the accounts.
The Actuary has outlined the following risks associated with the plans:
A. Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an
increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates:
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier
than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cashflow will lead to an
actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the leave benefit will be paid earlier
than expected. The acceleration of cashflow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the
assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates:
If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid
earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption than the leave benefit will be paid earlier
than expected. The impact of this will depend on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in availment rates: If actual availment rates are higher than assumed availment rate assumption then leave
balances will be utilised earlier than expected. This will result in reduction in leave balances and Obligation.
B. Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the
fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future
discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in
the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
C. Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If
some of such employees resign/retire from the Holding Company there can be strain on the cashflows.
D. Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One
actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An
increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption
depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in
the yields as at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/
regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits
to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be
recognised immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective
56. Employees Stock Options Plan (‘ESOP’)

B. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a)
recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial
statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value the Group has classified its
financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the Indian Accounting Standard. An explanation of each level is as
follows -
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices in active markets or identical assets and
liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (like forward contracts) is determined using
valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
If all significant inputs required to fair value as instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This
is the case for unlisted equity securities etc. included in level 3.
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value
The fair value of the quoted investment is determined using traded quoted bid prices in an active market. The fair value of
unquoted investments is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for assets and
liabilities.

C. Financial Risk Management
The Group has exposure to following risks arising from financial instruments:
 Credit Risk
• Trade Receivables
• Other Financial Instruments
 Liquidity Risk
 Market Risk
• Currency Risk
• Interest Rate Risk
• Price Risk
i. Risk Management Framework
The Group’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management
framework. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies, under the
guidance of Audit Committee.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, 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 Group’s activities. The Group, through its training
and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which
all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Group’s Audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies
and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
The Audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc
reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit committee.
ii. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and
from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
(a) Trade Receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Group subject to established policy, procedures and control relating to customer
credit risk management. Trade receivables are mainly from wholesalers, non-interest bearing and are generally on 7 days
to 120 days credit term. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria and any deviation
in credit limit require approval of Directors. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Group has no
concentration of credit risk as the customer base is widely distributed both economically and geographically.
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 calculation
is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class
of financial assets. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with
respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent
markets. Trade receivables do not contain any significant financing component and hence, the Group recognises life time
expected credit loss based on simplified approach.

(b) Other Financial Instruments
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks or
financial institutions with high credit rating assigned by credit rating agencies. For other financial assets, The Group
assesses and manages the credit risk internally. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition and
assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk subsequently based in the historical losses and forward
looking supportable information. Based on general approach, if there is a significant increase in credit risk of a financial
asset since its initial recognition The Group recognises life time expected credit loss otherwise 12 months expected credit
loss is recognised.

iii. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without
incurring unacceptable losses. The Group’s objective is to maintain optimum level of liquidity at all times, to meet its cash
and collateral requirements. The Group closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management
system. It maintains adequate sources of financing including bilateral loans, debt etc. at an optimised cost. Working capital
requirements are adequately addressed by internally generated and borrowed funds.
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment
periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest
date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that
interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting
period.

iv. 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 Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
(a) 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.
Majority of borrowings of the Group are at fixed interest rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not
subject to interest rate risks, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because off a change
in market interest rates.
(c) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. However, there is no material impact of the
sensitivity.
62. Revenue (Ind AS 115)
The operations of the Group are limited to only one segment viz. pharmaceuticals and related products. Revenue from contract
with customers is from sale of manufactured/traded goods. Sale of goods are made at a point in time and revenue is recognised
upon satisfaction of the performance obligations which is typically upon dispatch / delivery. The Group has a credit evaluation
policy based on which the credit limits for the trade receivables are established. The credit period provided by The Group is not
significant, hence there is no significant financing component.
