with a profit after tax of ` 2733.29 lakhs (` 2420.91 lakhs) in the previous year. This is mainly due to the
multiple use of a Know Your Customer (KYC) record by Mutual Funds as investments in multiple funds by
an investor has increased.
Business of CVL:
The KYC Project is the first venture of the company and it relates to Centralized Record Keeping of KYC
documents of Capital Market investors. The Company had registered 2598 intermediaries. The total no. of
KYC records held as on 31st March, 2019 is 1.88 crores. Finance ministry has launched the Central KYC
(CKYC) project for the financial sector. All regulators have made the CKYC mandatory.
We are not certain if the KYC project being done by CVL as registered entity in the Capital Market will
continue. However, we are optimistic that both KRA and CKYC will coexist to give value added services
such as in person verification and verifying documents with originals. Meanwhile, your Company has, taken
up various new projects which are expected to generate additional revenue. The new projects undertaken are:

CVL

the format prescribed by CERSAI.
3. Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Beema Yojana (PMJJBY)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO,
THE MEMBERS OF
Report on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of CDSL Ventures Limited,
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2019, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then
ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state
of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2019 and its profit, total comprehensive income, change in equity
and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis of opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance
with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s
Report including Annexures to Board’s Report Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

CVL
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility as to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to state that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies
Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, change in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting
records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone Ind
AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

CVL
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for
expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial control system in place
and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• 0Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group and its associate entities to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of
the standalone financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements
of which we are independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial
statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.

CVL
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that individually or in
aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the
scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work and (ii) too evaluate the effect of an identified
misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

“Annexure B”
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of CDSL Ventures Limited
(“the Company”) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of Standalone Ind AS financial
statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its
business, including adherence to Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely
preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial
reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit
of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on
Auditing deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit
of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued
by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial
controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively
in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal
financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial
controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

CVL
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
6. A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the Company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use,
or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control
over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company
has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and
such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019,
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by ICAI.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31stMarch, 2019
1. Corporate Information
CDSL Ventures Limited (“CVL” or “the Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Depository
Services (India) Limited, incorporated on 25th September, 2006. CVL is the first KRA appointed by SEBI
to do common KYC for investor in the Capital Market, Accordingly CVL receives clients electronic
KYC records of KYC document from SEBI registered intermediaries and makes it available to any
other intermediaries when the said client opens an account or transacts with the said intermediaries
and for allied data collection and verification services. Further updates of KYC details received by any
intermediary is collected or downloaded to other intermediaries who have accessed the KYC record.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
a) Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 and amendments thereon.
The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 were approved by the Board of
Directors and authorised for issue on May 02, 2019.
b) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain
financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as
explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of
the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
c) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which are the functional currency of
the Company and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company
operates. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest
lakhs except share and per share data.
d) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement
principles of Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions

CVL
that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosures relating to contingent liabilities
as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the
years presented.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised and future years are
affected.
e) Property, plant & equipments
Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Capital work-in-progress,
plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Cost includes borrowing costs for long term construction projects if the recognition
criteria are met.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which
they are incurred.
f) Intangible assets
Intangible assets purchased are measured at cost as of the date of acquisition less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment, if any.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over economic useful life of asset and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The amortization expense on intangible assets is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible assets consist of computer software.
g) Depreciation /Amortization/Impairment Loss
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its
estimated residual value.
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method as per the
useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following
categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on
technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the

CVL
operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes,
manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:
Description of asset Useful life as per the Useful life used

Schedule II (in years)
(in years)
Building 60 10
Civil and interior work 10 10
Computer Hardware/software 3 2
Office Equipment 5 5
Furniture and Fixtures 10 5
Vehicles 8 4
Leasehold premises are amortized over a period of 10 years.
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is an indication
of impairment based on internal and external factors. The asset is treated as impaired when its
carrying cost exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment loss, if any, is charged to the Statement
of Profit and Loss for the year in which the asset is identified as impaired. Reversal of impairment
loss recognized in the prior years is recorded when there is an indication that impairment losses
recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased.
h) Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, at fair value at each balance
sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
(a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or
liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair
value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their
best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s

CVL
ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it
to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimizing the use of Unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements
are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Inputs are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-
assessing categorization (based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in this financial information is determined
on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS
102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have
some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or
value in use in Ind AS 36.
i) Financials Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a
financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities
are recognized when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
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 recognized immediately in Statement of
Profit and Loss.

CVL
I. Classification of financial assets
Company has classified and measured Financial Assets into following:
i. Amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold
Financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
ii. air value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions
F
are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved
by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
Assets under this category are measured at fair value and gains and losses
arising out of such measurement are carried through other comprehensive
income
iii. air value through profit or loss if asset is not classified at amortized cost or fair
F
value through other comprehensive income
II. Classification of Financial Liabilities
Company has classified financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost. For trade
and other payable maturing within one year from the date of Balance Sheet the carrying amount
approximate fair value due to short maturity of these instruments.
j) Employee Benefits
Short term Employee Benefits are estimated and provided for.
Performance linked bonus is provided as and when the same is approved by the management.
Post-Employment Benefits and Other Long term Employee Benefits are treated as follows:

CVL
(i) Defined Contribution Plans:
Provident Fund: The Provident fund plan is operated by Regional Provident Fund
Commissioner (RPFC) and the contribution thereof are paid/provided for.
Contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss
for the respective financial year as and when services are rendered by the employees.
(ii) Defined Benefits Plans:
a) Gratuity:
Gratuity for employees is covered by Gratuity Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation
of India and the contribution thereof is paid/provided for. The Company’s liabilities
under Payment of Gratuity Act are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation
made at the end of each financial year using the projected unit credit method.
Obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using a
discounted rate that is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet
date on Government bonds where the terms of the Government bonds are consistent
with the estimated terms of the defined benefit obligation. The net interest cost is
calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit
obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit
expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Re-measurement gains or losses arising
from experience adjustments changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized
in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They
are included in retained earnings in the Statement of changes in Equity and in the
Balance Sheet. Re-measurements are not reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss
in subsequent periods.
b) Compensated absences:
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encased

within 12 months from the end of the year, are treated as short term employee benefits.
The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating
compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the
unused entitlement as at the year end. Accumulated compensated absences, which
are expected to be availed or encased beyond 12months from the end of the year, are
treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company’s liability is actuarially
determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year.
Actuarial gains/losses at the end of the year accrued to the defined benefit plans are
taken to Other Comprehensive Income for the respective financial year.

CVL
k) Current tax and deferred tax
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in
accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other
applicable tax laws. Deferred tax in recognised using balance sheet approach. The deferred tax for
timing differences between the book and tax profits for the year is accrued for, using the tax rates
and laws those have been substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets
arising from differences are recognised to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that these
would be realized in future.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right
to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and
the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
l) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of CDSL Ventures Limited is Indian rupees.
All foreign currency transactions are recorded at exchange rate prevailing on the date of the
transaction. All foreign currency current assets/liabilities are translated at the rates prevailing on
the date of the Balance Sheet. Foreign exchange rate difference arising on settlement / conversion
is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
m) Revenue Recognition
In contracts involving the rendering of services, revenue is measured using the proportionate
completion method and are recognised net of service tax provided that at the time of performance
it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection. If at the time of rising of any claim it is
unreasonable to expect ultimate collection, revenue recognition is postponed till the time the
ultimate collection is made.
Interest is recognized on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amount outstanding
and the rate applicable.
Dividend is recognized when the unconditional right to receive payment is established.
n) Provisions and Contingencies
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

CVL
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
o) Cash and cash equivalents (for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet and for the purpose of Statement of Cash Flows
comprise cash in hand and cash at bank including fixed deposit with original maturity period of
three months and short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
or less net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s
cash management.
p) 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.
q) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the profit for the year by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as
bonus 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.
r) Impairment
Financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows ‘simplified approach’
for recognition of impairment loss allowance on 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 that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial
recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for

CVL
impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If
in 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 12 month ECL. Lifetime ECLs are the expected credit losses
resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The
12 month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible
within 12 months after the reporting date. 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 shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash
flows, an entity is required to consider:
• All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension etc.)
over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected
life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to
use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to
the contractual terms.
The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for
trade receivable based on a detailed analysis of trade receivable on individual basis.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income
/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivable: ECL is presented as
an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The
allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the Company
does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
s) Current / Non-current classification
The company presents assets and liabilities to be classified as either Current or Non-current.
Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
1. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity’s normal
operating cycle;
2. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
3. it is expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or

CVL
4. it is cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle
a liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
5. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities: A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
1. it is expected to be settled in, the entity’s normal operating cycle;
2. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; it is due to be settled within twelve
months after the balance sheet date; or
3. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
4. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
t) Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between
acquisition of assets and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined
its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as
current and non-current.
u) Recent accounting pronouncements
(i) Ind AS 116 Leases : On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind
AS 116, Leases. Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases Standard, Ind AS 17 Leases, and
related Interpretations. The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement,
presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor.
Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets
and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset
is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of Profit & Loss.
The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially
carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17.
The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 116 is annual periods beginning on or after April 1,
2019. The standard permits two possible methods of transition:
• Full retrospective – Retrospectively to each prior period presented applying Ind AS 8

Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
• Modified retrospective – Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying

the Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

CVL
Under modified retrospective approach, the lessee records the lease liability as the present value
of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use
asset either as:
• Its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but
discounted at lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application or
• An amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued
lease payments related to that lease recognized under Ind AS 17 immediately before the
date of initial application.
Certain practical expedients are available under both the methods.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this amendment on the standalone financial
statements. The effect due to this amendment would be insignificant in the financial statements.
(ii) Amendment to Ind AS 12 – Income taxes : On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate
Affairs issued amendments to the guidance in Ind AS 12, ‘Income Taxes’, in connection with
accounting for dividend distribution taxes.
The amendment clarifies that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends
in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally
recognised those past transactions or events.
Effective date for application of this amendment is annual period beginning on or after April
1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this amendment on the standalone
financial statements. The effect due to this amendment would be insignificant in the financial
statements.
(iii) Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments: On March 30, 2019,
Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income
Tax Treatments which is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or
loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty
over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. According to the appendix, companies need to
determine the probability of the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of
tax treatments, that the companies have used or plan to use in their income tax filing which has to
be considered to compute the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when
determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.
The standard permits two possible methods of transition - i) Full retrospective approach – Under
this approach, Appendix C will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented
in accordance with Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,
without using hindsight and ii) Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying

CVL
Appendix C recognized by adjusting equity on initial application, without adjusting comparatives.
The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 12 Appendix C is annual periods beginning on or after
April 1, 2019. The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2019. The Company is currently
evaluating the effect of this amendment on the standalone financial statements. The effect due to
this amendment would be insignificant in the financial statements.
(iv) Amendment to Ind AS 19 – plan amendment, curtailment or settlement: On March

30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to Ind AS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’, in
connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
The amendments require an entity:

Investments in debt instruments 1800.52 1300.61 Level 1 - Quoted bid prices in
an active market
The management assessed that fair value of cash and bank balances, fixed deposits, trade receivables, trade
payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The fair value of the quoted bonds and mutual fund are based on price quotations at reporting date. The fair
value of unquoted instruments and other financial liabilities, as well as other non-current financial liabilities is
estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk
and remaining maturities.

CVL
The fair values of the unquoted equity shares have been estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The
valuation requires the management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast
cash flows, discount rate, credit risk and volatility, the probabilities of the various estimates within the range
can be reasonably assessed and are used in the management’s estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity
investments.
27. Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these
financial liabilities is to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade and
other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Company’s primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential
adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the
individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers
and investment securities. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as
credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk
is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to
prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into
account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
• Trade and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each
customer.
The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry in which the customer
operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
Company provides the KYC services to DPs / Mutual funds and other intermediaries, hence company
operates with large number of customers portfolio and its revenue is not concentrated on small number
of customers.
None of the customers accounted for more than 10% of the receivables and revenue for the year ended
March 31, 2019. None of the customers accounted for more than 10% of the receivables and revenue for
the year ended March 31, 2018.

CVL
• Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by making investment as per the investment policy.
Further investment committee of company review the investment portfolio on monthly basis and
recommend or provide suggestion to the management. The company does not expect any losses from
non- performance by these counter-parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures
to specific industry sectors.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they
become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always
have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement
management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

* Investment does not include investments in equity instruments of fellow subsidiaries.
The Company manages contractual financial liabilities and contractual financial assets on net basis.

CVL
Market risk
The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations are highly dependent upon the levels of
activity in the capital markets and in particular upon the participation of retail clients in capital market.
Our KYC business competes closely with our competitors. We rely heavily on technological equipment and
IT at our facilities. Interruptions in the availability of IT systems could adversely impact our business. Shift in
consumer preferences away from investing in capital market to other financial products, may dampen prospects
of our business.
• Foreign Currency risk
The Company’s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and
expenses, (primarily in U.S. dollars and euros). Company’s revenues insignificant portion are in these
foreign currencies, while a significant portion of its costs are in Indian rupees.
As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company’s
revenues measured in rupees may decrease. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign
currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the
future. Due to lessor quantum of revenue and expenses from foreign currencies company is not much
exposed to foreign currency risk.
• Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market
interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term / short- term investment with floating interest
rates.
Interest rate risk primarily arises from floating rate investment. The Company’s investments in floating
rate are primarily short-term, which do not expose it to significant interest rate risk.
Regulatory risk
The Company requires a number of regulatory approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions to operate
our business, including at a corporate level as well as at the level of each of its components. The Company
operations are subject to continued review and the governing regulations may change. The Company regulatory
team constantly monitors the compliance with these rules and regulations.
Capital management
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market
confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company monitors the return on capital

CVL
as well as the level of dividends on its equity shares. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to
maintain an optimal structure so as to maximize shareholder value.
The Company is predominantly equity financed which is evident from the capital structure. Further, the
Company has always been a net cash company with cash and bank balances along with investment which is
predominantly investment in liquid and short term mutual funds being far in excess of financial liabilities.

Gratuity is administered through Group Gratuity Scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India. The LIC
raises demand for annual contribution for gratuity amount based on its own computation without providing
entire details as required by the IND AS 19. Hence the company obtains separate actuarial valuation report as
required under IND AS 19 from an independent Actuary. The maximum amount as per these two valuation
reports is recognized as liability in the books of accounts. The expected return on plan assets is based on
market expectation at the beginning of the year, for the returns over the entire life of the related obligations.
