b) Defined contribution plans
The Company makes Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund contributions
to defined contribution retirement benefit plans for qualifying
employees. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a
specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits.
The Provident Fund scheme additionally requires the Company to
guarantee payment of interest at rates notified by the Central
Government from time to time. However considering the size of the
investment in the Provident Fund and the Provident Fund liabilities
accrued to the employees at the Balance Sheet Date, the Company
believes that there would not be any shortfall in the Fund balance and
hence no actuarial valuation has been carried out towards interest
payments to be made in the future.
The Company recognised Rs. 415.99 Lakhs (Previous year Rs.425.97 Lakhs)
for provident fund contributions and Rs. 150.95 Lakhs (Previous year:
