Financial Instruments | 34) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Credit Risk Exposure to Credit Risk The carrying amount of financial assets and contract assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was : As at March 31 Particulars 2023 2024 Contract assets — 253 Trade and other receivables 75,026 99,646 Receivable from related party 49 24 Term deposits 202,674 280,688 Cash and cash equivalents (except cash in hand) 283,938 326,907 Total 561,687 707,518 The cash and cash equivalents and term deposits are mainly held with banks, which are rated A+, AAA, AA-, A-, BBB-, BB+ and BB- based on rating agency Fitch ratings. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents and term deposits have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk for contract assets and trade and other receivables at the reporting date, categorised by type of counterparty was: As at March 31 Particulars 2023 2024 Airlines 18,617 28,549 Retail customers 1,301 1,856 Corporate customers 35,079 48,465 Deposit with hotels and others 8,260 9,804 Others 11,769 11,225 Total 75,026 99,899 Impairment Losses The Group uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for contract assets and trade and other receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit default and the Group's historical experience with customers. The age of contract assets and trade and other receivables at the reporting date was : As at March 31 2023 2024 Particulars Gross Impairment Gross Impairment Not past due 39,796 — 55,815 — Past due 0-30 days 18,417 — 25,361 — Past due 30-120 days 12,446 — 14,606 — More than 120 days 6,981 2,614 7,316 3,199 Total 77,640 2,614 103,098 3,199 The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of contract assets and trade and other receivables during the year was as follows : For the year ended Particulars 2023 2024 Balance at the beginning of the year 2,812 2,614 Allowance for impairment 349 837 Reversal of allowance for impairment ( 165 ) — Amounts written off against the allowance ( 195 ) ( 201 ) Effects of movement in exchange rate ( 187 ) ( 51 ) Balance at the end of the year 2,614 3,199 Allowance for impairment mainly represents amounts due from airlines and corporate customers. Based on historical experience, the Group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary, apart from above, in respect of contract assets and trade and other receivables. Liquidity risk The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements : As at March 31, 2023 Non-derivative financial liabilities (including hybrid financial liabilities) Carrying Contractual 6 months 6 -12 1 -2 2 -5 More than Convertible notes 216,118 230,000 — 230,000 — — — Lease liabilities 16,379 21,549 2,342 2,046 4,272 11,124 1,765 Secured bank loans 2,667 3,077 485 462 850 1,279 1 Trade and other payables 89,780 89,780 89,780 — — — — Other liabilities (related to business combinations) 9,368 10,479 5,071 — — 5,408 — Other liabilities (related to Hotel Travel Group) 4,320 4,320 4,320 — — — — Refund due to customers 34,025 34,025 34,025 — — — — Total 372,657 393,230 136,023 232,508 5,122 17,811 1,766 Notes: * Represents undiscounted cash flows of interest and principal As at March 31, 2024 Non-derivative financial liabilities (including hybrid financial liabilities) Carrying Contractual 6 months 6 -12 1 -2 2 -5 More than Convertible notes 201,240 230,000 — — 230,000 — — Lease liabilities 16,658 20,689 2,790 2,601 5,345 9,953 — Secured bank loans 3,726 4,325 710 682 1,230 1,703 ^ Trade and other payables 118,548 118,548 118,548 — — — — Other liabilities (related to business combinations) 12,438 12,438 — — — 12,438 — Refund due to customers 45,870 45,870 45,870 — — — — Total 398,480 431,870 167,918 3,283 236,575 24,094 — Notes: ^ less than 1 * Represents undiscounted cash flows of interest and principal The balanced view of liquidity and financial indebtedness (excluding lease liabilities) is stated in the table below: As at March 31 Particulars 2023 2024 Cash and cash equivalents 284,018 327,065 Term deposits 202,674 280,688 Loans and borrowings ( 218,785 ) ( 204,966 ) Net cash position 267,907 402,787 In order to achieve Group's objective to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, the Group has availed various credit facilities (refer note 28). Currency Risk Exposure to Currency Risk The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase of services and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of Group companies are primarily the INR, USD and AED. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are INR, USD and AED. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk was based on the following amounts as at the reporting dates (in equivalent USD): Between USD and INR As at March 31 Particulars 2023 2024 Trade and other receivables 3,411 2,629 Trade and other payables ( 212,192 ) ( 218,083 ) Cash and cash equivalents * 5 Net exposure ( 208,781 ) ( 215,449 ) * less than 1 Between AED and INR As at March 31 Particulars 2023 2024 Trade and other receivables 35,336 41,381 Trade and other payables ( 664 ) ( 1,923 ) Cash and cash equivalents 14 38 Net exposure 34,686 39,496 Between INR and AED As at March 31 Particulars 2023 2024 Trade and other receivables 83,572 82,449 Net exposure 83,572 82,449 The following significant exchange rates applied during the year: Average exchange rate per unit Reporting date rate per unit Financial Year As at March 31 2022-23 2023-24 2023 2024 INR to USD 0.0125 0.0121 0.0122 0.0120 INR to AED 0.0458 0.0444 0.0447 0.0441 AED to INR 21.8559 22.5401 22.3716 22.6913 Sensitivity Analysis Any change in the exchange rate of USD or AED against currencies other than INR is not expected to have significant impact on the Group’s profit or loss. Accordingly, a 10 % appreciation of the USD or AED against the INR and INR against AED would have impact on profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant . For the year ended Particulars 2023 2024 Profit or loss 10% strengthening of USD against INR ( 20,878 ) ( 21,545 ) 10% strengthening of AED against INR 3,469 3,950 10% strengthening of INR against AED 8,357 8,245 A 10 % depreciation of the USD or AED against INR and INR against AED, would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currency to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant . Interest Rate Risk The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss. The Group does not have any variable rate interest bearing financial instruments, hence there is no risk relating to change in interest rates. Fair values Fair Values versus Carrying Amounts The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position, are as follows : As at March 31, 2023 As at March 31, 2024 Note Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair value Financial assets measured at fair value Other investments - equity securities (FVOCI) 9 452 452 452 452 Other investments - equity securities (FVTPL) 9 591 591 591 591 Other investments - other securities (FVTPL) 9 149 149 242 242 1,192 1,192 1,285 1,285 Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables 21 75,026 75,026 99,646 99,646 Term deposits 23 202,674 202,674 280,688 280,688 Cash and cash equivalents 22 284,018 284,018 327,065 327,065 Receivable from related party 24 49 49 24 24 Other investments - other securities 9 76 76 76 76 561,843 561,843 707,499 707,499 Financial liabilities measured at fair value Other liabilities (related to business combination) 29,30 9,368 9,368 12,438 12,438 9,368 9,368 12,438 12,438 Financial liabilities not measured at fair value (amortised cost) Secured bank loans 28 2,667 2,667 3,726 3,726 Trade and other payables 31 89,780 89,780 118,548 118,548 Refund due to customers 29 34,025 34,025 45,870 45,870 Other liabilities (related to Hotel Travel Group) 29 4,320 4,320 — — Convertible notes 28 216,118 212,189 201,240 197,698 346,910 342,981 369,384 365,842 The fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities reported above have been categorized as Level 1 and Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used. Fair value of trade and other receivables, term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, receivable from related party, other liabilities (related to Hotel Travel Group), trade and other payables and refund due to customers reasonably approximates to its carrying amount. The fair value of convertible notes is determined using discounted cash flows. The valuation model considers the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). As at March 31, 2023 Particulars Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Other investments - equity securities (FVOCI) — — 452 452 Other investments - equity securities (FVTPL) — — 591 591 Other investments - other securities (FVTPL) 149 — — 149 Total 149 — 1,043 1,192 Other liabilities (related to business combinations) — — 9,368 9,368 Total — — 9,368 9,368 As at March 31, 2024 Particulars Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Other investments - equity securities (FVOCI) — — 452 452 Other investments - equity securities (FVTPL) — — 591 591 Other investments - other securities (FVTPL) 242 — — 242 Total 242 — 1,043 1,285 Other liabilities (related to business combinations) — — 12,438 12,438 Total — — 12,438 12,438 There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.
