3.9 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognised if as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬ tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to the liability.
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.
3.10 Earning Per Share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with Ind AS 33 on Earnings per share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividend and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
3.11 Dividend on ordinary shares
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to its equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by
the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
3.12 Contingencies and events after reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
3.13 Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 dated 31 March 2023 to amend the following Ind As which are effective from 01 April 2023. However, these amendments does not have an impact on Financial Statements and material accounting policy information.
Ind AS 1 : Presentation of financial Statements - This amendment required the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies.

The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after 01 April 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment, and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the Company's financial statements.
Standards notified but not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified amendments to Ind AS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange
Rates to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity's financial performance, financial position and cash flows. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2025. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period to period. Appropriate changes in estimates are recognised in the period in which the Company becomes aware of the changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods. Following are estimates and judgements that have significant impact on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at each balance sheet:
4.1 Business Model Assessment
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the SPPI (Solely Payments of Principal and Interest) and the business model test. The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgment reflecting all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed. The Company monitors financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income that are derecognised prior to their
maturity to understand the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the asset was held. Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), where the assets are managed in accordance with an approved investment strategy that triggers purchase and sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
4.2 Defined employee benefit assets and liabilities
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed annually.
4.3 Fair value measurement
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using various valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
4.4 Impairment of financial asset
The measurement of impairment losses across all categories of financial assets requires judgement, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment losses and the assessment of significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances.
It has been the Company's policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary.
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more details in Note 3.2 (iii)(h) overview of ECL principles.
4.5 Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method
The Company's EIR methodology, recognises interest income / expense using a rate of return that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected behavioral life of loans given / taken and recognises the effect of potentially different interest rates at various stages and other characteristics of the product life cycle (including prepayments and penalty interest and charges).
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgment regarding the expected behavior and life-cycle of the instruments, as well expected changes to India's base rate and other fee income/expense that are integral parts of the instrument
4.6 Contingent liabilities and provisions other than impairment on loan portfolio
The Company operates in a regulatory and legal environment that, by nature, has a heightened element of litigation risk inherent to its operations. As a result, it is involved in various litigation and arbitration in the ordinary course of the Company's business.
When the Company can reliably measure the outflow of economic benefits in relation to a specific case and considers such outflows to be probable, the Company records a provision against the case. Where the probability of outflow is considered to be remote, or probable, but a reliable estimate cannot be made, contingent liability is disclosed.
Given the subjectivity and uncertainty of determining the probability and amount of losses, the Company takes into account a number of factors including legal advice, the stage of the matter and historical evidence from similar incidents. Significant judgment is required to conclude on these estimates.
4.7 Share based payments
Estimating fair value for share based payment requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model. The estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumption and models used for estimating fair value for share based payments transactions are disclosed in Note 47 Employee stock option plan (ESOP).
4.8 Expected credit loss
When determining whether the risk of default on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the company's historical experience and credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
4.9 Deferred tax
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 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 the future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.
4.10 Leases
Ind AS 116 defines a lease term as the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset including optional period, when an entity is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise the option when determining the lease term. The option to extend the lease term are included in the lease term, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option. The Company reassess the option when significant events or changes in circumstances occur that are within the control of the lessee.
4.11 Other estimates
These include contingent liabilities, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets etc.
( B ) Terms / rights / restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having par value of ' 10/- each share. Each holder of equity share is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pay dividends in Indian Rupees. The dividend proposed if any, by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting except in case of interim dividend.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of Equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
During the year ended 31 March 2025 dividend recognized as distribution to equity shareholders was ' 1.50 per share being final dividend year ended 31 March 2024. The total dividend appropriated amounts to ' 371.85 Lacs (Previous year ' 246.40 Lacs).
( G ) Capital management
The Company's objective for capital management is to maximize shareholder value, safeguard business continuity and support the growth of the Company. The Company determines the capital requirement based on annual operating plans and long-term and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, operating cash flows generated and need based borrowings for short term debt.
In addition to above the Company is required to maintain a minimum networth as prescribed from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Stock brokers and sub-brokers) Regulations 1992. The management ensures that this is complied at all times.
Nature and purpose of reserve

However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013. This also includes transfer within equity i.e. transfer from Equity-Settled share-based payment reserve towards the amount recognised for services received from an employee, if the vested equity settled share based payments instruments are later forfeited or not exercised.
d) Equity-settled share-based payment reserve
This reserve is created by debiting the statement of profit and loss account with value of share options granted to the employees. Once shares are issued by the Company, the amount in this reserve will be transferred to share capital, securities premium or retained earnings.

~| FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has established a comprehensive system for risk management and internal controls for all its businesses to manage the risks that it is exposed. The objective of its risk management framework is to ensure that various risks are identified, measured and mitigated and also that policies, procedures and standards are established to address these risks and ensure a systematic response in the case of crystallization of such risks.
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
a) Credit risk
b) Liquidity risk
c) Market risk
The risk management system features three lines of defence approach.
1. The first line of defence comprises its operational departments, which assume primary responsibility for their own risks and operate within the limits stipulated in various policies approved by the Board or by committees constituted by the Board.
2. The second line of defence comprises specialized departments such as risk management and compliance. They employ specialized methods to identify and assess risks faced by the operational departments and provide them with specialized risk management tools and methods, facilitate and monitor the implementation of effective risk management practices, develop monitoring tools for risk management, internal controls and compliances, report risk related information and promote the adoption of appropriate risk prevention measures.
3. The third line of defence comprises the internal audit and external audit functions. They monitor and conduct periodic evaluations of the risk management, internal controls, and compliance activities to ensure the adequacy of risk controls and appropriate risk governance and provide the Board with comprehensive feedback.
a) Credit risk
It is risk of financial loss that the Company will incur a loss because its customers or counterparties to financial instruments fail to meet its contractual obligation.
The Company's financial assets comprise cash and bank balances, trade receivables, loans, investments, and other financial assets which comprise mainly of income, deposits, advances and other receivables.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from Company's trade receivable and loans. Details of exposure to credit risks for trade receivables and loans:
Trade receivable:
The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The ECLs on trade receivables are calculated based on actual historic credit loss experience over the preceding three to five years on the total balance of non-credit impaired trade receivables. The Company considers a trade receivable to be credit impaired when one or more detrimental events have occurred, such as significant financial difficulty of the client or it is becoming probable that the client will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization. When a trade receivable is credit impaired, it is written off against trade receivables and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the income statement.
Loans:
Loans comprise of margin trading funding (MTF) for which staged approach is followed for determination of ECL.
Stage 1 : All standard loans in MTF loan book not due or upto 30 days past due (DPD) are considered as Stage 1 assets for computation of expected credit loss.
Stage 2 : Exposure under stage 2 includes under-performing loans having 31 to 90 days past due (DPD).
Stage 3 : Exposures under stage 3 include non-performing loans with overdue more than 90 days past due (DPD). Based on historical data, the company assigns Probability of Default (PD) to stage 1 and stage 2 and applies it to the Exposure at Default (EAD) to compute the ECL. For Stage 3 assets PD is considered as 100%.
The company does not have any loan book which may fall under stage 2 or stage 3.
The following table provides information about exposure to credit risk and ECL on Loans
Other financial assets considered to have a low credit risk:
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments comprise of quoted equity instruments, mutual funds which are market tradable. Other financial assets include deposits for assets acquired on lease and with qualified clearing counterparties and exchanges as per the prescribed statutory limits.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the entity will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The entity's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the entity's reputation.
Prudent liquidity risk management requires sufficient cash and marketable securities and availability of funds through adequate committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and close out market positions.
The Company has a view of maintaining liquidity with minimal risks while making investments. The Company invests its surplus funds in short term liquid assets in bank deposits. The Company monitors its cash and bank balances periodically in view of its short term obligations associated with its financial liabilities.
Market risk arises when movements in market factors (foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads and equity prices) impact the Company's income or market value of its portfolios. The Company, in its course of business, is exposed to market risk due to changes in equity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The objective of market risk management is to maintain an acceptable level of market risk exposure while aiming to maximize returns.
(i) Equity Price
The Company's exposure to equity price risk arises primarily on account of its proprietary positions and on account of margin bases positions of its clients in equity cash and derivative segments.
The Company's equity price risk is managed in accordance with its Risk Policy approved by the Board.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to Interest rate risk if the fair value or future cash flows of its financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
The Company's interest rate risk arises from interest bearing deposits with bank and loan given to customers. Such instrument exposes the Company to fair value interest rate risk. Management believes that the interest rate risk attached to these financial assets is not significant due to the nature of these financial assets
(iii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Foreign currency risk management
In respect of foreign currency transactions, the Company does not hedge the exposures since the management believes that the same is insignificant in nature and will not have a material impact on the Company.
The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period is as shown as under: -
III. Fair value hierarchy:
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimates using a valuation technique.
The investments included in level 1 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using quoted prices for instruments in an active market. The investments included in Level 2 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using valuation techniques based on observable market data. There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2.
IV. Valuation techniques used to determine fair value:-
• Quoted equity instruments - Quoted closing price on stock exchange.
• Alternative investment funds - Net asset value of the respective schemes.
V. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Financial assets not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, bank balance other than cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans and other financial assets. These are financial assets whose carrying amounts approximate fair value, due to their short term nature.
Additionally, financial liabilities such as borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are not measured at FVTPL, whose carrying amounts approximate fair value, because of their short-term nature.
At 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 the Company did not held any financial assets or financial liabilities which could have been categorized as level 3.
1 Debt Equity Ratio = Debt (Borrowings (other than debt securities) Debt securities Accrued interest)/Equity (Equity share capital Other Equity)
2 Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Profit/Loss before exceptional items, interest and tax (excludes unrealized gains/losses and interest costs on leases as per IND AS 116 on Leases) / (Interest expenses (excludes interest costs on leases as per IND AS 116 on Leases) Current maturity of Long term loans)
3 Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Profit/Loss before exceptional items, interest and tax (excludes unrealized gains/losses and interest costs on leases as per IND AS 116 on Leases)/Interest expenses (excludes interest costs on leases as per IND AS 116 on Leases)
4 Net Worth = Equity shares capital Other equity
5 Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
6 Long Term Debt to Working Capital Ratio = Long Term Borrowing/Working Capital
7 Bad debt includes provision made on doubtful debts. Accounts receivable includes average trade receivables
8 Current Liability Ratio= Current Liabilities/Total Liabilities
9 Total Debts to Total Assets= Total Debts (Borrowings Debt Securities)/Total Assets
10 Debtors Turnover Ratio = Fee and Commission Income/Average Trade Receivables
11 Operating Margin = Profit before tax/Total Revenue from operations
12 Net Profit Margin= Profit after tax/Total Revenue from operations
61 The Board of Directors at their meeting held on 21 May, 2025, have recommended a dividend of ' 4 per share (on face value of ' 10/- per equity share) for the year ended 31 March, 2025, subject to the approval of the members at the ensuing annual general meeting. In terms of Ind AS 10 “Events after the Reporting Period”, the Company has not recognized dividend as a liability at the end of the reporting period.
63 The Company's financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) and all values are rounded to the nearest lac, except when otherwise indicated.
64 Disclosure of Capital to risk-weighted assets (CRAR),Tier I CRAR, Tier II CRAR and Liquidity coverage ratios required under para (WB)(xvi) of Division III of Schedule III to the Act are not applicable to the Company as it is in broking business and not an NBFC registered under section 45-IA of Reserve bank of India Act, 1934.
65 During the year ended 31 March 2024, the Company has paid Advisory and other fees of ' 202.36 lacs under Fees and Commission expenses to parties which are related to stock broking and wealth management business verticals. However, based on commonly prevailing practices and to align with the presentations made by the peer companies, the management considers it more relevant if such payments are disclosed in Brokerage sharing with intermediaries and others under Fees and Commission expenses. Hence prior year comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2024 have been restated by reclassifying ' 202.36 lacs from Advisory and other fees to Brokerage sharing with intermediaries and others both under Fees and Commission expenses. The management believes that this reclassification does not have any material impact on information presented in statement of profit and loss.
The Company has Interest Income on deposits (against overdraft and corporate credit card facilities) placed with banks. The Company was previously disclosing the same as interest Income under Other Income. However, based on review of legal provisions envisaged under the Companies Act, 2013 and also to align with the presentations used by the peer group companies, the management considers it to be more relevant if such interest income is presented as interest Income under Revenue from Operations. Prior year comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2024 have been restated by reclassifying ' 115.64 lacs from Interest Income under Other Income to Interest Income under Revenue from Operations. The management believes that this reclassification does not have any material impact on information presented in statement of profit and loss.
