2.11 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions: A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events 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. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the 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.
Provisions for onerous contracts (i.e., contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it) are recognised when it is probable that cash outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
Contingent liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is termed as a contingent liability.
2.12 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. 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 profit or loss.
2.13 Financial assets
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value depending on the classification of the Financial assets.
2.13.1 Classification of financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for financial assets that are designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortised cost, refer Note 2.13.3
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) (except for financial assets that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI financial assets. For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of ‘Reserve for financial assets through other comprehensive income’. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
For the impairment policy on financial assets at FVTOCI, refer Note 2.13.3 All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
2.13.2 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. In addition, financial assets that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.
A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ‘Other income’ line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.
2.13.3 Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the Financial assets that are initially measured at fair value with subsequent measurement at amortised cost.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables. 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. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, twelve month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in the subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on a twelve month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original Effective Interest Rate (EIR).
Allowance for Trade receivables
The Company follows a ‘simplified approach’ (i.e. based on lifetime ECL) for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables. For the purpose of measuring lifetime ECL allowance for trade receivables, the Company estimates irrecoverable amounts based on the ageing of the receivable balances and historical experience. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not to be collectible.
2.13.4 Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises 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. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s 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 profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
2.13.5 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 measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
2.13.6 Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost less provision for diminution in the separate financial statements.
2.14 Financial liabilities
Classification as debt
Debt are classified as financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability
Financial liabilities
2.14.1 Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
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. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item.
2.14.2 Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in profit or loss.
2.14.3 Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange between with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
2.15 Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks through foreign exchange forward contracts.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
2.16 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the period. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise.
2.17 Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
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.
2.18 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and 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.
2.19 Investments
Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are carried individually, at fair value. Cost of investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.
2.20 Segment Reporting
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Based on the ‘management approach’ as defined in Ind AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company’s performance based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for the Company. Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Revenue and expenses, which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis, is included as “Unallocated”. Segment assets includes all the assets except for deferred tax assets which are treated as unallocable.
The dominant source of risk and returns of the enterprise is considered to be the business in which it operates, viz. - Information Technology (IT) Services. The sub businesses are fully aligned to IT Services business of the Company and
the same are being viewed by the management as a single business segment. Being a single business segment company, no primary segment information is being provided.
2.21 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.22 Project work expenses
Project work expenses represents amounts charged by sub-contractors. These expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.
2.23 GST input credit
GST input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying service received is accounted and when there is reasonable certainty in availing/ utilising the credits.
2.24 Operating Cycle
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current - non current classification of assets and liabilities.
2.25 Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss under respective head in the period in which they become receivable.
2.26 Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31,2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1,2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the management of the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 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.
3.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
i) Impairment of investment in subsidiaries- Determining whether investment in subsidiaries is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the subsidiaries. The value in use calculation requires the management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the subsidiaries operations and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. No impairment for investment in subsidiaries has been identified during the year.
ii) Income taxes- The Company has tax jurisdiction in India. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including the amount expected to be paid or recovered in connection with uncertain tax positions. Also refer to note 27.
iii) Estimation of defined benefit obligation and other employee obligations- Employee benefit obligations are measured using actuarial methods. This requires various assumptions including with respect to salary trends, attrition rate, discounting factor etc. The Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the actuarial valuation.
Note:
(i) During the year ended March 31,2024, the Board of Directors of the Company had considered and recommended Interim dividend of INR 15 per equity share (face value of INR 10 each) amounting to INR 16,711 for the financial year ending March 31, 2024 at their meeting held on July 10, 2023 and the same was approved by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on August 25, 2023. Also the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on February 13, 2024, had approved second interim dividend of INR 15 per equity share (face value of INR 10 each) amounting to INR 16,711 for the financial year ending March 31, 2024. These dividends had been paid during the year ended March 31,
2024.
(ii) The Board of Directors of the Company had considered and recommended final dividend of INR 4 per equity share (including special dividend of INR 2 per equity share) (face value of INR 10 each) amounting to INR 4,456 for the financial year ended March 31,2024 at their meeting held on May 23, 2024 and the same was approved by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on July 24, 2024. The aforesaid dividend was paid on July 30, 2024.
(iii) The Board of Directors of the Company has considered and recommended final dividend of INR 2 per equity share (face value of INR 10 each) amounting to INR 2,228 for the financial year ended March 31,2025 at their meeting held on May 21,
2025. The recommended final dividend on equity shares is subject to approval of shareholders at the ensuing annual general meeting.
30 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS EXPENSE
(Refer note 2.6)
(a) Defined Contribution Plans
Provident Fund and Other Funds:. During the year, the Company has recognised Rs. 80 (2024: Rs. 85) in the Statement of Profit and Loss relating to provident fund and other funds, which is included in the ‘Contribution to provident and other funds’.
(b) Defined Benefit Plan
Gratuity (funded):.The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “gratuity plan”) covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The gratuity plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement or termination of employment based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company.
The Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:
Interest risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.
Investment risk : The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.
Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
The following tables summarise the components of expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet for the gratuity plan:
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.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of-the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
(1 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
31.1 Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt and total equity of the Company.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.The Company is fully funded by equity.
31.5.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to USD.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Rs. against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Company where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the Rs. strengthens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the Rs. against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.
* Others include currencies such as CRC, PLN and GBP.
In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year. This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD receivable and payable in the Company at end of the reporting period.
31.6 Interest rate risk management
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the Company lend/ borrow funds at fixed interest rates. There is no exposure to market rate fluctuations.
The Companies exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
31.7 Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
T rade receivables consist various customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivables.
The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
31.8 Liquidity risk management
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
31.8.1 Liquidity and interest risk tables
The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative 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.
Notes:
(a) Represents various income tax demands under appeal and pending rectification.
(b) The Company had received a Show Cause Notice (‘SCN’) from the Commissioner of Service Tax, Bangalore in October 2012 proposing a demand of service tax of Rs. 2,359 on import of certain services made by company during the FYs 2007¬ 08 to 2011-12. In March 2013, a suitable reply to above SCN was filed by company stating the legal grounds in defence of the matter. In November 2020, the adjudicating authority i.e. the Principal Commissioner of Service Tax, Noida passed the Order In Original (‘OIO’) confirming the demand of service tax proposed in the SCN along with penalty of Rs. 2,359 and applicable interest. The company has filed an appeal before CESTAT in Allahabad against above OIO in April, 2021 after paying a pre-deposit amount of Rs. 177. In April 2025, CESTAT Allahabad has remanded back the matter to adjudicating authority for re-adjudication. Also refer note 10.
(c) The Company has received demand order dated April 26, 2024, from the GST authority,Chennai relating to FY 2018-19 of INR 14.37 along with penalty of INR 1.44 and applicable interest of INR 14.39 on account of disallowance of Input tax credit. The Company has filed an appeal against the demand order before the appellate authority on July 25, 2024.
(d) The above contingent liabilities are possible obligation or present obligation that may (but probably will not) require an outflow of resources.
(e) It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings.
(f) The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
37 The Company has strategic gross investment amounting to Rs. 11,224 (2024: Rs. 11,224) in Xchanging Solutions (USA) Inc, USA (“XSUI”), its wholly owned subsidiary. Based on assessment of value in use from continuing operations, the Company has made a provision of Rs. 6,045 (2024: Rs. 6,045) in prior years considering it to be “a decline other than temporary”. The Company has tested the investments for impairment as at year end using cash flow projections based on financial forecast approved by the management covering a five-year period. The Company considers Xchanging Solutions (USA) Inc as a strategic long term investment and based on future growth projections, in the opinion of the management, the remaining value of the investments is not required to be impaired. The company also has receivables (net of payables) from the subsidiary amounting to Rs. 128 (2024: Rs. 65), based on the evaluation of recoverability, the net receivables is considered good and recoverable.
38 TRANSFER PRICING
The Company has carried out international transactions with associated enterprises. The Company appoints independent consultants to conduct a T ransfer Pricing Study to determine whether the transactions with associated enterprises undertaken during the period are on an “arms length basis”. For the current year, the transfer pricing study shall be completed within the permissible time under the legislation and adjustments, if any, arising from the transfer pricing study shall be accounted for as and when the study is completed. However, the Management is confident that its international transactions with associated enterprises are at arm’s length so that the aforesaid legislation/transactions will not have any material impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation for the current year.
41 During the year, the Company has obtained credit facility amounting to Rs.450 from Citibank. The facility from Citibank is secured by a corporate guarantee provided by DXC Technology Company, USA, the ultimate holding company. The facility is subject to annual renewal. No amount has been utilised till March 31,2025. Refer note 32.
42 As per the MCA notification dated August 5, 2022, the Central Government has notified the Companies (Accounts) Fourth Amendment Rules, 2022.

The books of account along with other relevant records and papers of the Company are maintained in electronic mode. These are readily accessible in India at all times and currently a backup (except for audit trail related data for certain tables related to master data for core ERP system) is maintained on a daily basis on servers physically located in India.
43 The company has used accounting softwares for maintaining its books of account for the year ended March 31,2025 which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software except that in respect of accounting software operated by third party service provider for maintaining payroll records, independent auditor’s service organisation report did not cover the audit trail requirements. However, Independent auditor’s service organisation report included a clean opinion for design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the adequate controls for the purpose of internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements.
Further, there were no instances of audit trail feature being tampered with in respect of the accounting software for which the audit trail feature was operating.
Additionally, the audit trail that was enabled and operated for the year ended March 31, 2024, has been preserved by the Company as per the statutory requirements for record retention.
