Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure
to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to
`
2,429.85 million and
`
3,425.07 million
as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue
earned from customers primarily located in the United States. Credit risk is managed by the Company by Credit Task Force
through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the recovery status of customers to which
the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses
expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provisioning policy approved by the Board of
Directors to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The policy takes into account available external
and internal credit risk factors and the Company’s historical experience for customers.
Credit risk is perceived mainly in case of receivables overdue for more than 90 days. The following table gives details of risk
concentration in respect of percentage of receivables overdue for more than 90 days:
