Manned Private Security Services
Our manned private security services segment includes planning and deployment of private security personnel for our clients. The security services industry in India exhibits vertical specialization, with companies offering specialized security solutions tailored to specific sectors or industries. (Source: CARE Report) The Indian security services (manned security) market was valued at Rs 547 billon in 2019 and has reached Rs 875 billion by 2023, representing a CAGR of 12.5% from 2019 to 2023. Security services include static guard, concierge officer, augmented officer, but do not include event security, escort services. Furthermore, the market is projected to reach Rs 1,722 billion by 2029,
growing at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2023 to 2029. This growth can be attributed to the need for manned security. (Source: Care Report) Our manned private security services business employed more than 6,500 security guards and rendered manned private security services at more than 1,500 client premises servicing 177 clients, as of June 30, 2024. The demand for private security is further amplified by the limited police force in India. The United Nations recommends a ratio of 222 police officers per 100,000 citizens, a benchmark India falls short of. This shortage creates a gap that private security companies are effectively filling, offering a crucial supplement to public security measures. Indias police-to-people ratio is not very favourable, creating a demand for an alternative source of security services. Currently, there are 153 policemen for every one lakh people in India, which is below the ideal ratio of 196 policemen for every one lakh people recommended by the Bureau of Police Research and Development under the Ministry of Home Affairs. (Source: Care Report).
Our key clients in India include business houses engaged in various sectors like retail, healthcare, warehousing, logistics and BFSI. We also provide manned private security services to several Government organizations and public sector undertakings in India. We are also licensed to provide necessary physical and classroom training to security personnels in accordance with Private Security Agency Regulatory Act, 2025 ("PSARA Act") at our training centre located at Turkiawas, Rewari, Haryana ("PSARA Training Centre"). The centre is spread across over an area of 3,000 sq. yards. This centre is supported by qualified training staff. During the three months period ended June 30, 2024, and Fiscal 2024 we have trained 881 and 430 persons to act as security personals at this facility.
Government policies promoting the use of professional security services in public and private sectors include the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005, which provides for the regulation of private security agencies and related matters. Additionally, the implementation of initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission includes advanced security infrastructure as a key component, enhancing the demand for professional security services. Moreover, government regulations are further propelling the private security industry. The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued compulsory security guidelines. According to the new guidelines, each school gate must be manned by at least 3 security guards on a 24-hour basis. (Source: CARE Report). Furthermore, the government has emphasized the need for womens security to eliminate crimes against women. Some States are considering setting up Mahila Suraksha Dal or Womens Security Force, and others may replicate this initiative. There are also plans to deploy 5,000 bus marshals to prevent and deter crime in public transport. Additionally, the Delhi Government is planning to install CCTVs in public spaces and buses, which is expected to lead to an increase in demand for private security services in India. (Source: CARE Report).
Integrated Facility Management
Our integrated facility management ("IFM") segment comprises of housekeeping and cleaning services, plumbing, plantation, sanitation, carpenter services and support staff services etc. IFM services consolidate various facility management functions under a single provider to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. IFM includes maintenance, cleaning, security, space management, and sustainability initiatives. This comprehensive approach reduces costs, improves service quality, and provides a single point of contact for all facility-related needs. Key benefits of IFM include cost efficiency, improved communication, flexibility, and strategic focus. IFM services are increasingly being adopted in IT, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail sectors in India. Economic growth, technological advancements, and a focus on regulatory compliance and sustainability drive this trend. (Source: CARE Report)
Furthermore, the market is projected to reach Rs 2,289 billion by CY2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.9% from CY2023 - 29. This growth can be attributed to the increased focus on eco-friendly building practices and a resurgence in construction projects. Government initiatives, urbanization, and commercial construction in India have driven this growth. These factors have created a greater demand for IFM, which help in efficiently managing buildings and their operations. (Source: CARE Report)
Hard Facility Management
Hard facility management (Hard FM) services refer to the maintenance and management of a buildings physical and structural components. This includes heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, electrical systems, plumbing, elevators, fire safety and building. The demand for the Hard FM segment in Integrated Facility Management (IFM) services is rising due to increased industrial growth in India. As buildings and infrastructure become more
complex, maintaining critical systems like HVAC, electrical, and plumbing becomes essential for safety and efficiency. Additionally, sectors like IT, real estate, and healthcare require reliable Hard FM services to ensure uninterrupted operations and occupant safety. Notably, Indias IT industry contributed around 7% to the countrys GDP in FY2023 - 24. It is expected to contribute 10% to Indias GDP by FY2025. It involves regular maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to ensure safety and operational efficiency (Source: CARE Report). Our Company provides hard facility management services for various government departments, public sector undertakings and private sector entities.

The Soft FM segment in Integrated Facility Management (IFM) services focuses on non-technical services that support the day-to-day operations and well-being of building occupants. This includes cleaning, housekeeping, security, waste management, landscaping, pest control, and catering. Soft FM ensures a clean, safe, and pleasant environment, enhancing the overall user experience and productivity. In India, the demand for Soft FM is driven by growing commercial spaces and increased emphasis on workplace hygiene and security. It complements Hard FM by maintaining the aesthetic and functional aspects of facilities. The demand for the Soft FM segment in Integrated Facility Management (IFM) services is on the rise due to several factors. Firstly, businesses increasingly prioritize employee well-being and productivity, driving the need for services like cleaning, catering, and pest control to maintain a comfortable and hygienic work environment. Secondly, with the rise of flexible work arrangements and shared office spaces, theres a greater emphasis on outsourced facility services to ensure consistent quality and efficiency. Additionally, Soft FM services contribute to the overall image and reputation of businesses, enhancing their competitiveness in the market. (Source: CARE Report). Our Company provides Soft FM service for businesses across various sectors including BFSI, healthcare and education.

Significant factors affecting our financial condition and results or operations
Our financial condition and results of operations are affected by numerous factors and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" on page 30 The following is a discussion of certain factors that we believe have had, and will continue to have, a significant effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Employee benefits expenses and direct expenses
Our business is labour intensive and the major components of our expenses are employee benefit expenses and direct expenses. The expenses incurred towards employee benefit expenses and direct expenses for the three months period ended June 30, 2024 and for Fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022 are as below:
| Particulars | Three months period ended June 30, 2024 | Fiscals | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | ||
| Employee benefit expenses | 719.18 | 2,503.81 | 2,026.5 | 1,662.33 |
| % of Total Expenses | 37.96% | 49.96% | 81.94% | 80.40% |
| Direct expenses | 1,116.88 | 2,324.99 | 321.02 | 316.18 |
| % of Total Expenses | 58.95% | 46.39% | 12.98% | 15.29% |
Our employee benefit expenses consist of salaries and allowances, directors remuneration, contribution to provident
fund, gratuity fund and other funds, insurance expenses and staff welfare expenses. Our direct expenses are divided under two categories namely (i) toll expenses; and (ii) skills, training and development expenses. Toll expenses primarily include toll charges and toll maintenance and other miscellaneous expenses. Skills, training and development expenses include assessment, certification, fee & subscription expenses, training expenses, one time travel cost expenses, boarding and lodging expenses and post placement support expenses. Due to a shift in revenue share among different verticals, there has been a reallocation of expenses. The direct expenses in the toll vertical, particularly the weekly remittance as per agreements, represent a substantial portion of the overall toll collections. This expense has become more significant, leading to a decreased proportion of costs related to employee benefit expenses.
We believe that our Companys growth and work environment combined with our employee satisfaction rate has allowed us to attract talent on a large scale. Increases in our employee benefits payment obligations, whether as a result of a negotiated increase by our employees or due to changes in applicable laws, including minimum wage laws, which we are unable to pass on to our clients, in a timely manner, or at all, could have a significant impact on our total expenses and consequently our financial condition. In addition, we rely on our employees to render services at our clients premises and in the event our employee relationships deteriorate or if we experience labour unrest, strikes and other labour action, there could be an adverse impact on our delivery of services to clients.
General economic factors and the regulatory environment
Demand for private security and facility management services, including our security services, is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and economic conditions in the various regions and sectors in which we operate. An economic downturn in a region or sector in which we operate may adversely affect our operations in that region or sector, as the scale of operations of our clients may decrease and the ability of our clients to pay for our services may be impaired. Many of our top clients operate in sectors which may be significantly impacted by a downturn in local and global markets. We could experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of economic downturn and a shift to unorganized or local players. Also, declining unemployment levels may make it harder for us to recruit personnel to render services at our customer premises.
Regulatory environment for the labour market in India
We are subject to labour legislations that protect the interests of workers, as well as laws and regulations relating to employee welfare and benefits such as minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, non-discrimination, employee compensation, employee state insurance, bonus, gratuity, provident fund, leave benefits and other such employee benefits. These laws in India are enacted both by the Central Government and the State Governments in India. These laws and regulations vary from state to state in India and are subject to changes. For details please see section titled "Key Regulations and Policies in India" on page 200. These legislations require compliance, from time to time, which may among others, involve payments to be made depending upon their period of employment. If we fail to comply with labour welfare legislations, we may be exposed to fines and we may also face the risk of our licenses under applicable legislations being cancelled or suspended. Further, in the event the welfare requirements under labour regulations applicable to us are changed, which leads to an increase in employee benefits payable by us or results in a or a steep increase in minimum wages payable by us, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover such increased amounts from our clients in a timely manner, or at all.
The Government of India has recently introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 ("Wages Code"); (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020 ("Social Security Code"); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. While the rules for implementation under these codes, apart from the Code on Wages (Central Advisory Board) Rules, 2021 which prescribes, inter alia, the constitution and functions of the Central Advisory Board set up under the Wages Code, have not been notified, we are yet to determine the impact of all or some such laws on our business and operations which may restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
Competition
We are in the business of providing manpower solutions, with a focus on delivering security services, integrated facility management services, manpower sourcing and payrolling, toll plaza management services to our clients on a pan-India basis, we compete with a range of organized and unorganized competitors depending on the nature and location of services provided. Many of the industries that we operate in have low entry barriers. As a result, we face competition from both unorganized segment and from established players with substantial marketing and financial resources at their disposal. We expect competition levels to remain high, which could constrain our ability to maintain or increase our market share or profitability. We believe that we stand differentiated vis-a-vis our competitors due to our recruitment abilities across business segments and due to our positioning as an integrated provider of business services to our clients. Our continued success depends on our ability to compete effectively by providing high-quality service levels and developing strong relationships and value-added services to our existing and future clients.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has vide notification dated March 23, 2022 notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 which amends certain accounting standards, and are effective from April 1, 2022. Below is a summary of such amendments:
| Title | Key Requirements |
| Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment | Proceeds before intended use of property, plant and equipment: |
| The amendment clarifies that an entity shall deduct from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use (for example, the proceeds from selling samples produced when testing a machine to see if it is functioning properly). | |
| Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets | Onerous Contracts - Cost of fulfilling a contract: |
| The amendment explains that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises: the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. | |

All the amounts included in the restated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (‘Rupees or ‘Rs. or ‘INR), which is also the functional currency of the Company, and are rounded to the nearest millions, except per share data and unless stated otherwise.
The restated financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
The Consolidated financial information include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entitys returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Restated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
The Restated financial statements of the Company and financial statements of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses, after eliminating intra-Company balances, intra-Company transactions and any unrealised incomes and expenses arising from intra-Company transactions. These Restated financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Company.
The carrying amount of the parents investment in the subsidiary is offset (eliminated) against the parents portion of equity in the subsidiary. Non-Controlling Interests ("NCI") share of profit/loss of the consolidated subsidiary for the year is identified and adjusted against the income of the Group in order to arrive at the net income attributable to shareholders of the Company. NCIs share of net assets of the consolidated subsidiary is identified and presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other component of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value at the date the control is lost. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss.

* Woke India Foundation has been incorporated under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. As per para 6 of Ind AS 110 "an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. " Since, Innovision Limited. has no right to variable returns or the surplus generated by Woke India Foundation as it is a not-for-profit company, the same is not considered for line-by-line consolidation.
2.3 Historical Cost Convention
The Restated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
- Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer note 2.4.10 for the accounting policy regarding financial instruments),
- Certain investments measured at fair value
2.4 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of restated financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Companys accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is provided below.
(i) Estimation of Defined Benefit Obligation
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for post-employment plans include the discount rate, attrition rate, mortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of such obligations. The group estimates the appropriate rates at the end of each year. Refer note 37 for the details of the assumptions used in estimating the defined benefit obligation.
(ii) Income taxes
Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.
(iii) Deferred taxes
Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.
(iv) Expected credit loss
The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on the assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Companys history of collections, customers creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(v) Lease term
Critical judgements required in the application of Ind AS 116 may include, among others, the following:
- Identifying whether a contract (or part of a contract) includes a lease;
- Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option will be exercised.
- Classification of lease agreements (when the entity is a lessor);
- Determining the stand-alone selling prices of lease and non-lease components.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of Ind AS 116 may include, among others, the following:
i) Estimation of the lease term;
ii) Determination of the appropriate rate to discount the lease payments.
iii) Assessment of whether a right-of-use asset is impaired.
Revenue recognition
Application of the accounting principles under Ind AS 115 related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires judgments and estimates. Complex arrangements with customers, Government Authorities and other partners may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. Specifically, the determination of whether the Company is a principal to a transaction (gross revenue) or an agent (net revenue) may require considerable judgment.
2.5 Significant accounting policies
2.5.1 Revenue recognition
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract. Revenue is recognized when the control is transferred to the customer and when the Company has completed its performance obligations under the contracts.
At the inception of the new contractual arrangement with the customer, the Company identifies the performance obligations inherent in the agreement. The terms of the contracts are such that the services to be rendered represent a series of services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of the transfer to the customer.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
(i) Revenue from services represents the amounts receivable for services rendered.
(ii) For contract-based business (Expressed or implied), revenue represents the sales value of work carried out for customers during the period. Such revenues are recognized in the period in which the service is rendered.
(iii) Unbilled revenue (contract assets) net of expected deductions is recognized at the end of each period. Such unbilled revenue is reversed in the subsequent period when actual invoice is raised.
(iv) Unearned income (contract liabilities) represents revenue billed but for which services have not yet been performed. The same is released to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are rendered.
(v) Revenue from Security Services includes revenue generated from Facilities Management, House Keeping, Human Resources Recruitment, Placement & Training.
(vi) Revenue from the use of assets such as rent for using property, plant and equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases unless payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessors expected inflationary cost increase.
Revenue from service:
(a) Security services
In contracts involving the rendering of services, revenue is measured using the proportionate completion method when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from rendering the service. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Estimates of revenue, costs or extent of progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenue or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known to the management.
Multiple-element arrangements
When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as services, material and maintenance, revenue for each element is determined based on each elements fair value.
Revenue recognition for delivered elements is limited to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligations or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
The undiscounted cash flows from the arrangement are periodically estimated and compared with the unamortized costs. If the unamortized costs exceed the undiscounted cash flow, a loss is recognized.
(b) Toll management
The income from Toll Contracts is recognised on cash basis.
(c) Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(d) Rental income
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessors expected inflationary cost increase and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.
2.5.2 Cost of Revenues Direct costs
Direct costs include amount payable to NHAI and cost of skills, training and development expenses and direct related cost for the period based on the contracts. The costs are recognized over the period of time as per the contracts.
Other Costs
Other costs include employees costs, costs for providing the security services, toll management and skills, training and development expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative costs.
2.5.3 Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. The cost of improvements to leasehold premises, if recognition criteria are met, have been capitalised and disclosed separately under leasehold improvement.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on written down value method and charged to statement of profit and loss as per the rates prescribed under the schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, given below:
| S. No. Asset Category | Rate of Depreciation (per annum) |
| 1. Computers | 63.16% |
| 2. Plant & machinery | 13.91% |
| 3. Furniture & fixtures | 25.89% |
| 4. Office equipment | 13.91% |
| 5. Vehicles | 25.89% |
| 6. Freehold land | N.A. |
| 7. Buildings | 9.5% |
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted, if appropriate. Based on technical evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimates of useful lives as given above, best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Depreciation on additions/(disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis, i.e., from/ (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use/ (disposed off).
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. For assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable is estimated at each Balance Sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
2.5.4 Intangible assets
Separately acquired intangible assets, such as software are measured initially at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost and are amortised on a written down value basis over their estimated useful lives and charged to statement of profit and loss.
Software and licenses acquired are amortized at the rate of 45.07% per annum on written down value method. Other intangibles i.e. right to use brand and non-compete right acquired in business combination are amortized over their useful life on straight line basis, which is taken to be five years.
The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at financial year end. 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. The amortisation expense on intangible assets is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
2.5.5 Foreign exchange transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. The net gain or loss arising on restatement/ settlement is recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
2.5.6 Employee benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, employee state insurance scheme and gratuity.
Defined contribution plans:
The Companys contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans:
For defined benefit retirement plans in the form of gratuity, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains or losses is reflected immediately in the Balance Sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:
• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
• net interest expense or income; and
• remeasurement
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ‘Employee benefits expense. Curtailments gains and losses are accounted as past service costs.
2.5.7 Statement of Cash flows
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that
are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
Amount received by the Company pending settlement are disclosed as amount payable to the merchants under "Other current financial liabilities". Amount receivable from banks, wallets and cards are disclosed under the "Other current financial assets". Changes in these balances are included in the cash flow from operating activities.
2.5.8 Earnings per share
Basic Earnings Per Share (‘EPS) is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included. The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented in case of share splits and bonus shares for changes effected prior to the approval of the restated financial statements by the Board of Directors.
2.5.9 Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates applicable for the relevant year, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years after considering tax allowance and exemptions under the Income Tax laws.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the restated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax 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 realised.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
2.5.10 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade dates basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All Recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and contractual terms of financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt Instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) if these financial assets are held within business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and selling financial assets.
Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. Other changes in fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in reserves is transferred to statement of profit and loss.
Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
The Company carries certain equity instruments which are not held for trading. At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or through statement of profit and loss (FVTPL). For investments designated to be classified as FVTOCI, movements in fair value of investments are recognized in other comprehensive income and the gain or loss is not transferred to statement of profit and loss on disposal of investments. Dividends from these investments are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) unless it is measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in statement of profit and loss. The gain or loss on disposal is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Interest and dividend on these assets are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the assets carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in statement of profit and loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in statement of profit and loss on disposal of that financial asset.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.
For foreign currency denominated financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange difference are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instrument
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments recognized by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received net off direct issue cost. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL).
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Contingent consideration recognized in a business combination and contracts to acquire non-controlling interests are subsequently measured at FVTPL.
Derivatives are also recognized and measured at FVTPL
Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized in ‘Other income.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognized in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Companys obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in statement of profit and loss.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of an instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premium or discounts) through the expected life of the instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for instrument other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the ‘Other income line item.
2.5.11 Impairment of financial assets
Impairment of financial assets Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognized for financial assets measured at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognizing impairment loss on trade receivables, unbilled receivables, lease receivables, other debt instruments and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL.
The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of receivables. For the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.
2.5.12 Provisions & contingent liabilities
Provisions, involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement, are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an out flow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of the management/independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the restated financial statements.
2.5.13 Leases
The Company as lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
Ind AS 116, Leases has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, under which the difference between right-to-use asset and lease liabilities is adjusted against retained earnings as on the date of transition, also adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to those leases.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
• Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position.
The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of- use asset) whenever:
• The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
• A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the statement of financial position.
The Company applies Ind AS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in accounting policy 2.4.9 ‘Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill.
Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line "Other expenses" in profit or loss.
As a practical expedient, Ind AS 116 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The company has availed this practical expedient.
2.5.14 Operating cycle
All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Companys normal operating cycle. Normal operating cycle is based on the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization into cash and cash equivalents. The Company has determined its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
2.5.15 First-time adoption - mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions Overall principle
The company has prepared the opening Balance Sheet as per Ind AS as at date of transition April 1, 2022 by recognizing all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognizing items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in measurement of recognized assets and liabilities. However, this principle is subject to the certain exceptions and certain optional exemptions availed by the Company as detailed below.
The effect on reported financial position and financial performance of the Company on transition to Ind AS has been provided in note no.38, which also includes reconciliations of total equity and total comprehensive income for comparative years under Indian GAAP to those for respective years under Ind AS.
Mandatory exceptions to retrospective application
The Company has applied the following exceptions to the retrospective application of Ind AS as mandatorily required under Ind AS 101 "First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards".
Estimates
On assessment of estimates made under the previous GAAP financial statements, the Company has concluded that there is no necessity to revise such estimates under Ind AS, as there is no objective evidence of an error in those estimates.
Classification and measurement of financial assets
The Company has followed classification and measurement of financial assets in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments on the basis of facts and circumstances that existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, it has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk as at the date that financial instruments were initially recognized in order to compare it with the credit risk as at the transition date.
However, as permitted by Ind AS 101, the Company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining at the date of transition to Ind ASs, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets andfinancial liabilities
The Company has applied the derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for transaction occurring on or after date of transition.
Classification of debt instruments
The Company has determined the classification of debt instruments in terms of whether they meet the amortized cost criteria or the fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) criteria based on the fact and circumstances that existed as of the transition date.
Optional exemptions from retrospective application
Ind AS 101 "First time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards" permits Companies adopting Ind AS for the first time to take certain exemptions from the full retrospective application of Ind AS during the transition. The Company has accordingly on transition to Ind AS availed the following key exemptions:
Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment and intangibles assets
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recognized as at date of transition April 1, 2022 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
Deemed cost for investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
On transition, Ind AS 101 allows an entity to consider carrying values as deemed cost for investments held in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Accordingly, the company has elected to measure carrying values as per previous GAAP as deemed cost for its investments held in subsidiary and associates.
Transition to Ind AS - Reconciliations
The reconciliations given in note 38 provide the explanation for the differences arising from the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS in accordance with Ind AS 101 "First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards".
• Reconciliation of total equity as at April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023
• Reconciliation of total comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis about market risk
We are exposed to various types of market risks during the course of our business. Market risk is the risk of loss arising out of adverse changes in market prices, including interest rate risk, commodity price risk, price risk, credit risk and foreign currency exchange risk. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments, foreign currency payables and debt. We are exposed to various types of market risks, in the normal course of business.
Credit risk
Credit risk is defined the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk arises from the Companys exposures to third parties (trade receivables), including cash and cash equivalents, loans. derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company results in material concentration of credit risks maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group has been listed below:
(in Rs million)
| Particulars | As of June 30, 2024 | Fiscal 2024 | Fiscal 2023 | Fiscal 2022 |
| Trade receivables | 770.69 | 628.31 | 561.42 | 462.86 |
| Other financial assets | 247.95 | 258.57 | 84.52 | 39.20 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 53.05 | 42.30 | 231.87 | 227.11 |
| Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents | 341.24 | 304.36 | 32.29 | 25.50 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. The Groups objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The Group closely monitors its liquidity position and maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short term bank deposits, demand loans and cash credit facility. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Indian Rupee is the Groups most significant currency. As a consequence, the Groups financials are presented in Indian Rupee and exposures are managed against Indian Rupee accordingly. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Interest rate risk
The Groups fixed deposits are carried at fixed rate. Therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Other price risk
The Group has non-marketable equity investments in privately-held companies for purposes other than trading. These investments are inherently risky because there is no established market for these securities and the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages. As such, we could lose our entire investment in these companies. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate carrying value of our non- marketable equity investments is Rs 0.25 million. Value of investment is not significant to our Company.
