Employee Benefits Obligations [Abstract]  
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS OBLIGATIONS

NOTE 13B — EMPLOYEE BENEFITS OBLIGATIONS

 

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. For the funded plan the group makes contributions to recognised funds in India. The group does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

 

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is 14 years.

 

The amounts recognized in the Statement of Financial Position and the movements in the net defined benefit obligation over the year are as follows:
