# excluding contribution to provident fund transferred to Research and Development Expenses ` 18.01 lacs (PY ` 12.64 lacs).
The company has formed a employees gratuity trust which is administrated by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The company
makes contribution towards funding the defined benefit plan pertaining to gratuity to LIC. The Leave Encashment liability is not contributed
to any fund and is unfunded. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and related current cost are measured using projected unit
credit method with actuarial valuation being carried out at balance sheet date. The amount recognized are as under:
a) Gratuity (Funded)
Note: In respect of Employees Gratuity Fund, composition of plan assets is not readily available from LIC of India. The expected rate of return
on assets is determined based on the assessment made at the beginning of the year on the return expected on its existing portfolio, along with
the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in the portfolio during the year.
Note: Estimate of future increases considered in actuarial valuation takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors
such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Attrition rates are the company’s best estimate of employee turnover in future determined considering factors such as nature of business &
industry, retention policy, demand & supply in employment market, standing of the company, business plan, HR Policy etc. as provided in the
relevant accounting standard.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in assumption while holding all the other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely
to occur, and change in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to
significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit
method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in balance sheet.
The gratuity scheme is a final salary Defined Benefit Plan that provides for lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement, death,
disability, voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sum at exit.
The plan design means the risk commonly affecting the liabilities and the financial results are expected to be:
A) Salary Increases: Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations
will also increase the liability.
B) Investment Risk: If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate
assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
C) Discount Rate: Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
D) Mortality & disability: Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
E) Withdrawals: Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent
valuations can impact Plan’s liability.
42 SEGMENT INFORMATION:
iii) None of the non-current assets (other than financial instruments, investment in subsidiaries/ associates) are located outside India.
iv) None of the customers of the company individually account for 10% or more sale.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques which
maximize the use of observable market data (either directly as prices or indirectly derived from prices) and rely as little as possible
on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included
in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case
for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

The Board of Directors of the group provides guiding principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas i.e.
foreign exchange risk, credit risk & Investment of Surplus liquidity.
The group’s risk management is carried out by finance department, accordingly, this department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risk.
A) Price Risk
The main Raw materials for manufacturing of Medical devices are various types of Plastic Granules i.e. PP, LDPE, HDPE, PC, PA, SAN, ABS
and K. Resin etc. The prices of Raw materials are mainly dependent on the price of Crude Oil. The Raw materials are being imported by the
group and procured indigenously also. In case of imported Raw materials, the adverse forex movements are covered by the natural hedge.
In case of the drastic price rise of Raw materials during the year, the group makes appropriate changes in the prices of Finished Products,
after due discussions with the customers. The prices of Finished Goods are generally reviewed every year and appropriate changes in
prices are made to offset the increase in cost.
B) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss and
trade receivables
Review of outstanding trade receivables and financial assets is carried out by the management each quarter. The group has a practice to
provide for provision for doubtful debts on the basis of duly board approved policy on provision for bad & doubtful debts.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in interest
rate. The group’s main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings with variable rates (LIBOR plus) which exposes the group to cash
flow interest rate risk.

makes contribution towards funding the defined benefit plan pertaining to gratuity to LIC. The Leave Encashment liability is not contributed

Note: In respect of Employees Gratuity Fund, composition of plan assets is not readily available from LIC of India. The expected rate of return

the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in the portfolio during the year.
Note: Estimate of future increases considered in actuarial valuation takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in assumption while holding all the other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely
to occur, and change in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to
significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit
method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in balance sheet.

The gratuity scheme is a final salary Defined Benefit Plan that provides for lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement, death,
disability, voluntary withdrawal. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sum at exit.
The plan design means the risk commonly affecting the liabilities and the financial results are expected to be:
A) Salary Increases: Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations
will also increase the liability.
B) Investment Risk: If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate
assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
C) Discount Rate: Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
D) Mortality & disability: Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
E) Withdrawals: Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent
valuations can impact Plan’s liability.
