Mar 31, 2023

Company Overview

Birlasoft Limited ("the Company") is a public limited Company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and its shares are listed on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. The Company''s registered office is in Pune and it has subsidiaries and branches across multiple geographies.

The Company provides Software Development, global IT consulting to its clients, predominantly in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, Life Sciences and Services, Energy Resources and Utilities and Manufacturing (which mainly includes Discrete Manufacturing, Hi-Tech & Media, Auto and Consumer packaged goods) verticals.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on 08 May 2023.

1. Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation of standalone financial statements

The standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as "Ind AS") as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as amended from time to time. The standalone financial statements are presented in millions of Indian rupees rounded off to two decimal places, except per share information, unless otherwise stated.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except share based payments, defined benefit obligations and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Use of estimates

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management of the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenditure during the year. Actual results could differ from estimates. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized.

Critical accounting estimates

a. Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use

of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and satisfaction of performance obligation. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

b. Income tax & Deferred tax

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Accordingly, the Company exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.

c. Measurement of defined benefit obligation, key actuarial assumptions and share based payments

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties in respect of defined benefit obligation and share based payment are given in note 31 and note 36 respectively.

d. Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using Ind-AS 103, Business Combinations. Ind-AS 103 requires the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to be fair valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Significant estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration and intangible assets.

e. Leases

The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

f. Impairment of investment in subsidiaries

The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost (net of impairment, if any) annually,

or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for in the statement of profit and loss.

1.1 Current-non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and noncurrent.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The operating cycle of the Company is twelve months.

1.2 Revenue recognition

The Company earns revenue primarily from providing IT services, consulting and business solutions. The Company offers a consulting-led, integrated portfolio of IT.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

â¢ Revenue from time and material and job contracts is recognized on output basis measured by units delivered, efforts expended, number of transactions processed, etc.

â¢ Revenue related to fixed price maintenance and support services contracts where the Company is standing ready to provide services is recognized based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight lined over the period of performance.

â¢ In respect of other fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using percentage-of-completion method (âPOC method'') of accounting with contract costs incurred determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.

â¢ Revenue from third party software is recognized upfront at the point in time when software is delivered to the customer, such revenue is recognized on net basis when the Company is acting as an agent. In cases where implementation and / or customisation services rendered significantly modifies or customises the software, these services and software are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognised over time on a POC method.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Expenses reimbursed by customers during the project execution are recorded as reduction to associated costs. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled revenue (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.

obligations in future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset so recognized is amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates.

Unearned revenue ("contract liability") is recognized when there is billings in excess of revenues.

The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance based payments and / or milestone based progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period.

In accordance with Ind AS 37, the Company recognizes an onerous contract provision when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.

Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Company reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a change. In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation, a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geography and business verticals.

Use of significant judgments in revenue recognition

â¢ The Company''s contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. The Company assesses the products / services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgment to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.

â¢ Judgment is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is

highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.

â¢ The Company uses judgment to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct product or service promised in the contract. Where standalone selling price is not observable, the Company uses the expected cost plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.

â¢ The Company exercises judgment in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.

â¢ Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized using percentage-of-completion method. The Company uses judgment to estimate the future cost-to-completion of the contracts which is used to determine the degree of the completion of the performance obligation.

â¢ Contract Fulfillment costs are generally expensed as incurred except for costs which meet the criteria for capitalization as per Ind AS 115. Such costs are amortised over the contractual period. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.

1.3 Property, plant and equipment

refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives , than they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the standalone financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

The Company does not have any Benami Property under the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988.

1.4 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if any.

In case of internally generated intangibles, costs incurred during the research phase of a project are expensed when incurred. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of property, plant and equipment). Other development expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Intangible assets are derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and subsequent disposal or when the economic benefits are not measurable.

1.5 Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. The management''s estimates of the useful lives of various assets for computing depreciation are as follows:

Type of asset Useful life (No. of years)
Buildings	25
Plant and equipment	3-4
Office Equipment	5-10
Owned Vehicle	3-5
Furniture and fixtures	7-10

The useful lives as given above best represent the period over which the management expects to use these assets, based on technical assessment. The estimated useful lives for these assets are therefore different from the useful lives prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Right of use assets are amortised over shorter of useful lives and period of lease.

Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable period of the lease.

The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.

The management''s estimates of the useful lives of various intangible assets for computing amortization are as follows:

Type of asset	Useful life (No. of years)
Product Development cost (internally generated)	3-4
Perpetual Software License	4
Time based software license	License period

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.

1.6 Impairment

a. Financial assets

The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recorded as an impairment gain or loss in Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Non- financial assets

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The management periodically assesses using, external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset''s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets (cash generating unit or CGU) that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

Intangible assets which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually. Other assets (tangible and intangible) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if there is any indication of impairment. For assets in respect of which any such indication exists and for intangible assets mandatorily tested annually for impairment, the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.

If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists or has decreased, the assets or CGU''s recoverable amount is estimated. For assets other than goodwill, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Such a reversal is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.7 Leases

The Company primarily has leased rental offices premises, guest house, parking space, laptops etc across multiple locations.

At the inception of contract the Company assesses whether the contract is , or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves use of an identified asset and conveys the right to control the use of asset for period of time in exchange for consideration i.e. customer has right to:

- obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset and

- direct the use of asset Company as a lessee

1. Recognition and measurement

payouts adjusted for any payment made at or before commencement date, any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate of cost to dismantle or remove an underlying asset or to restore an asset less any lease incentive received.

The lease liability is initially measured at present value of lease payments that is not paid at commencement date discounted at implicit rate mentioned in lease or incremental borrowing rate. The Company generally uses incremental borrowing rate as discount rate.

The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the useful life of right-of-use asset.

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. It is remeasured to reflect any lease modifications or reassessments.

2. Extension and termination of lease

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

3. Short term leases and low value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise right of use of assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight- line basis over lease term.

4. Impairment testing for right of use of assets

Right of use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amount is not recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

1.8 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net

profit for the year after tax by the weighted average number

of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted

earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year after tax for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.

1.9 Foreign currency transactions

a. Functional and presentation currency

Indian Rupee is the Company''s functional as well as presentation currency.

b. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the year-end rates. The exchange differences so determined and also the realized exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and measured at historical cost are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction.

c. Translation of foreign operations

For translating the financial statements of foreign branches, their functional currencies are determined. The results and the financial position of the foreign branches are translated into presentation currency so that the foreign operation could be included in the standalone financial statements.

1.10 Employee benefits

i) Post-employment benefit plans Defined benefit plan

The Company''s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with independent actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Remeasurement of net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effects of asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest) are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income for the period in which they occur. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested or amortized

on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets, if any. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company''s contribution is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

ii) Other employee benefits

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognized during the period when the employee renders the service. These benefits include compensated absences (which cannot be carried forward) such as paid annual leave, overseas social security contributions and performance incentives.

1.11 Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the Statement of profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements.

or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of branches where it is expected that the earnings of the branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates for the purposes of current and deferred tax have been determined on the basis of Company''s evaluation of acceptability of its tax positions by the taxation authorities.

1.12 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

The Company recognizes provisions only when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

No provision is recognized for -

a. Any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

b. Present obligations that arise from past events but are not recognized because-

1) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

2) A reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Such obligations are disclosed as contingent liabilities. These are assessed continually and only that part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable, is provided for, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

Onerous contracts

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Decommissioning Liability

The Company uses various premises on lease to run its operation and records a provision for decommissioning costs to be incurred for the restoration of these premises at the end of the lease period. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the statement of profit and loss as an interest expense. The estimated future costs of decommissioning and interest rate are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

1.13 Research and development:

Costs incurred during the research phase of a project are expensed when incurred. Costs incurred in the development phase are recognized as an intangible asset in accordance with policy defined in 1.5.

1.14 Share based payment

In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Company''s Employee Stock Option Scheme, the Company recognizes employee compensation expense, using the grant date fair value in accordance with Ind-AS 102 - Share Based Payment, on straight line basis over the period over which the employees would become unconditionally entitled to apply for the shares.

1.15 Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

1.16 Financial instruments

a. Initial recognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price unless those contain a significant financing component determined in accordance with Ind AS 115. 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 measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.

b. Subsequent measurement

i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and 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.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and 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.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

However, in cases where the Company has made an irrevocable election for particular investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

ii) Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The counter-party to the Company''s foreign currency forward contracts is generally a bank.

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Cash flow hedge

The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company''s policy approved by the Board of Directors, which provides written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company''s risk management strategy.

The Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions.

Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any significant ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecast transactions any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is retained until the forecast transaction occurs. When a hedged transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The amount recognized in Other Comprehensive Income is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss, and in the same line item in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

c. Derecognition of financial instruments

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind-AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company''s Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

d. Fair value of financial instruments

The Company uses discounted cash flow analysis method for the fair value of its financial instruments except for employee stock options (ESOP) , where Black and Scholes options pricing model is used. The method of assessing fair value results in general approximation of value and such value may never actually be realized.

For all other financial instruments the carrying amount approximates fair value due to short maturity of those instruments.

Fair value measurements

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives and investments in mutual funds 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 economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s 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.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured 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:

a. Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

b. Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the

lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement is directly or indirectly observable

c. Level 3 â 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

Standalone 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 input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Company''s finance team determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued

2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact of the amendment is insignificant in the Company''s financial statements.

Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

This amendment has introduced a definition of âaccounting estimates'' and included amendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023. The Company has evaluated the

operations. The team comprises of the head of the treasury operation and chief finance officer.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and liabilities. Involvement of external valuers is decided on the basis of nature of transaction and complexity involved. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained.

At each reporting date, the finance team analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company''s accounting policies. For this analysis, the team verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents. A change in fair value of assets and liabilities is also compared with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

1.17 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the standalone statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts (if any) as they are considered an integral part of the Company''s cash management.

1.18 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

1.19 Business combinations

a. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition.

Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination such as finders'' fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.

Impact of any changes in the purchase consideration, after the measurement period, is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisition in excess of the Company''s interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquire. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of business acquisition, a gain is recognized immediately in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

c. Business combinations arising from transfer of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that control the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established.

Business combinations involving entities that are controlled by the group are accounted for using the pooling of interests method as follows:

â¢ The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.

â¢ The identity of the reserves are preserved and the reserves of the transferor become the reserves of the transferee.

â¢ The difference, if any, between consideration and the amount of share capital of required entity is transferred to capital reserve.

1.20 Recent accounting pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On 31 March 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:

COMPANY OVERVIEW

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on 23 May 2022.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation of standalone financial statements

The standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as âInd AS") as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as amended from time to time. The standalone financial statements are presented in millions of Indian rupees rounded off to two decimal places, except per share information, unless otherwise stated.

use of estimates

Critical accounting estimates

a. revenue recognition

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and satisfaction of performance obligation. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

b. Income tax & Deferred tax

c. measurement of defined benefit obligation, key actuarial assumptions and share based payments

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties in respect of defined benefit obligation and share based payment are given in note 31 and note 36 respectively.

d. Business combinations

e. leases

The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116.

The Company recognizes contract fulfillment cost as an asset if those costs specifically relate to a contract or to an anticipated contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset so recognized is amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates.

Unearned revenue ("contract liability") is recognized when there is billings in excess of revenues.

The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance based payments and / or milestone based progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period.

In accordance with Ind AS 37, the Company recognizes an onerous contract provision when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geography and business verticals.

use of significant judgments in revenue recognition

Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

f. impairment of investment in subsidiaries

The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost (net of impairment, if any) annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for in the statement of profit and loss.

1.1 Current-non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and noncurrent.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as noncurrent.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The operating cycle of the Company is twelve months.

1.2 Revenue recognition

The Company earns revenue primarily from providing IT services, consulting and business solutions. The Company offers a consulting-led, integrated portfolio of IT.

â¢ Revenue from time and material and job contracts is recognized on output basis measured by units delivered, efforts expended, number of transactions processed, etc.

for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.

1.3 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, are regrouped from foreign exchange differences to finance costs.

1.4 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other nonrefundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives , than they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the standalone financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

The Company does not have any Benami Property under the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988.

1.5 intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if any.

Intangible assets are derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and subsequent disposal or when the economic benefits are not measurable.

1.6 Depreciation and amortization

Type of asset	useful life (No. of years)
Buildings	25
Plant and equipment	4
Office Equipment	10
Owned Vehicle	5
Furniture and fixtures	8

Right of use assets are amortised over shorter of useful lives and period of lease.

Perpetual software licenses are amortized over 4 years. However, time-based software licenses are amortized over the license period.

Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of 3 to 4 years.

Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable period of the lease.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.

1.7 impairment

a. Financial assets

The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets

is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recorded as an impairment gain or loss in Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Non- financial assets

property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

1.8 Leases

The Company primarily has leased rental offices premises, guest house, parking space, laptops etc across multiple locations.

- obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset and

- direct the use of asset company as a lessee

1. Recognition and measurement

The Company recognises the right of use asset and lease liability at the commencement date of lease. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises of present value of future lease rent payouts adjusted for any payment made at or before commencement date, any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate of cost to dismantle or remove an underlying asset or to restore an asset less any lease incentive received. The lease liability is initially measured at present value of lease payments that is not paid at commencement date discounted at implicit rate mentioned in lease or incremental borrowing rate. The Company generally uses incremental borrowing rate as discount rate. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the useful life of right-of-use asset.

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. It is remeasured to reflect any lease modifications or reassessments.

2. Extension and termination of lease

3. Short term leases and low value assets

4. impairment testing for right of use of assets

Right of use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amount is not recoverable. Impairment loss ,if any ,is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

1.9 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit for the year after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year after tax for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.

1.10 Foreign currency transactions

a. functional and presentation currency

Indian Rupee is the Company''s functional as well as presentation currency.

c. Translation of foreign operations

1.11 Employee benefits

i) post-employment benefit plans Defined benefit plan

Defined contribution plan

ii) other employee benefits

1.12 income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of branches where it is expected that the earnings of the branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.13 provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

No provision is recognized for -

b. Present obligations that arise from past events but are not recognized because-

1) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

2) A reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

onerous contracts

decommissioning Liability

The Company uses various premises on lease to run its operation and records a provision for decommissioning

costs to be incurred for the restoration of these premises at the end of the lease period. Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the statement of profit and loss as an interest expense. The estimated future costs of decommissioning and interest rate are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

1.14 Research and development:

1.15 Employee stock option

1.16 investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

1.17 Financial instruments a. initial recognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. 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 measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.

b. subsequent measurement

i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

financial liabilities

ii) Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The counter-party to the Company''s foreign currency forward contracts is generally a bank.

financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss

cash flow hedge

The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions.

Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecast transactions any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging

reserve is retained until the forecast transaction occurs. When a hedged transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

c. Derecognition of financial instruments

d. fair value of financial instruments

For all other financial instruments the carrying amount approximates fair value due to short maturity of those instruments.

fair value measurements

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives and investments in mutual funds at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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.

liabilities of the acquire. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of business acquisition, a gain is recognized immediately in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

a. Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

b. Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

c. Level 3 â 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 Standalone 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 input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

contracts and other relevant documents. A change in fair value of assets and liabilities is also compared with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.

1.18 Cash and cash equivalents

1.19 Dividends

1.20 Business combinations

Impact of any changes in the purchase consideration, after the measurement period, is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisition in excess of the Company''s interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent

Business combinations involving entities that are controlled by the group are accounted for using the pooling of interests method as follows:

â¢ The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.

â¢ The identity of the reserves are preserved and the reserves of the transferor become the reserves of the transferee.

â¢ The difference, if any, between consideration and the amount of share capital of required entity is transferred to capital reserve.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on 23 May 2018.

1. Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation of standalone financial statements

The standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind-AS") as specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 and the provisions of Companies Act, 2013. The standalone financial statements are presented in millions of Indian rupees rounded off to two decimal places, except per share information, unless otherwise stated.

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for share based payments, defined benefit obligations and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Use of estimates

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management of the Company to make

judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenditure during the year. Actual results could differ from estimates. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized.

Critical accounting estimates

a. Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

b. Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, future cash flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units which are benefiting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

c. Income tax

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.

d. Measurement of defined benefit obligation and key actuarial assumptions

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties in respect of defined benefit obligation and share based payment in note 35 and note 42 respectively.

1.1 Current-non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. a. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as noncurrent.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The operating cycle of the Company is less than twelve months.

1.2 Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenues primarily from software development and related services and from the sale of licenses and products. Arrangements with customers for software related services are either on a fixed-price or on a time-and-material basis.

Revenue from software development and services, on time and material basis, is recognized based on software development, services rendered and related costs incurred based on timesheets and are billed to clients as per the contractual terms. Revenue from the end of the last billing to the Balance Sheet date is recognized as unbilled revenues.

Revenue from fixed-price contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized as per the percentage-of-completion method based on costs expended subject to the cost (both incurred and expected future cost) being identified and being measured reliably.

When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. Earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue.

Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance arrangement. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the services are performed.

For the arrangements for sale of license, related services and maintenance services, that meet the criteria for separately identifiable components, the Company has measured the revenue in respect of each separable component of a transaction at its fair value to allocate the consideration in accordance with principles given in Ind AS 18. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its fair value. In cases where the company is unable to establish objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the software development and related services, the company has used a residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In these cases the balance of the consideration, after allocating the fair values of undelivered components of a transaction has been allocated to the delivered components for which specific fair values do not exist

Revenue from sale of third party licenses is recognized only when the sale is completed by passing ownership. Advances received for services and products are separately reported in the financials as advance received from customers.

The Company accounts for volume and / or trade discounts to customers as a reduction of revenue. Also, when the level of discount varies with increases in levels of revenue transactions, the company recognizes the liability based on its estimate of the customer''s future purchases. The company recognizes changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. The discounts are passed on to the customer either as direct payments or as a reduction of payments due from the customer.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon actual delivery of goods along with transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customers.

Expenses reimbursed by customers during the project execution are recorded as a reduction to associated costs. The Company presents revenues from products gross of excise duties and net of goods and services tax in its Statement of Profit and Loss.

Interest income is recognized using effective interest rate method.

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

1.3 Borrowing costs

1.4 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, than they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the standalone financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

1.5 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, if any.

Intangible fixed assets are derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and subsequent disposal or when the economic benefits are not measurable.

¹¹ For these class of assets, based on internal assessment, the useful lives as given above are believed to best represent the period over which the assets are expected to be used. Hence, the useful lives for these assets are different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Leasehold land and vehicles taken on lease are amortized over shorter of useful lives and period of lease.

Perpetual software licenses are amortized over 4 years. However, time-based software licenses are amortized over the license period.

Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of 3 to 4 years.

Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable period of the lease.

Depreciation and amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.

1.7 Impairment

a. Financial assets

The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial

assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recorded as an impairment gain or loss in Statement of Profit or Loss.

b. Non- financial assets

i. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

ii. Goodwill

CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount of a CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit prorate on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

1.8 Inventories

Inventories which comprise raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods and stores and spares, are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

1.9 Leases

a. Finance lease

Assets acquired under finance leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets at inception of the lease or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease terms at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

b. Operating lease

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lesser, are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on straight line basis over the term of the lease, unless the increase in rentals is in line with expected general inflation.

1.10 Earnings per share

1.11 Foreign currency transactions

a. Functional and presentation currency

Indian Rupee is the Company''s functional as well as presentation currency.

c. Translation of foreign operations

1.12 Employee benefits

i) Post-employment benefit plans Defined benefit plan

Defined contribution plan

ii) Other employee benefits

1.13 Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of branches where it is expected that the earnings of the branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Minimum Alternate Tax

Minimum Alternative Tax (''MAT'') under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognized as current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The credit available under the Act in respect of MAT paid is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognized as an asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.

1.14 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

No provision is recognized for -

a) Any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

b) Present obligations that arise from past events but are not recognized because-

1) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

2) A reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

Warranty

The Company has an obligation by way of warranty to maintain the software during the period of warranty, as per the contractual requirements, for certain products/ licenses. Costs associated with such sale are accrued at the time when related revenues are recorded and included in cost of service delivery. The Company estimates such cost based on historical experience and the estimates are reviewed periodically for material changes in the assumptions.

1.15 Research and development:

1.16 Employee stock option

1.17 Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

1.18 Financial instruments

a. Initial recognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. 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 measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.

b. Subsequent measurement

i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

However, in cases where the Company has made an irrevocable election for particular investments in equity instruments that would

otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

Financial liabilities

ii) Derivative financial instruments

Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/ current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Cash flow hedge

The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions.

Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecast transactions any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is retained until the forecast transaction occurs. When a hedged transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iii) Treasury Shares

When any entity within the Group (KPIT Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries) purchases the Company''s ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from share premium.

c. Derecognition of financial instruments

d. Fair value of financial instruments

For all other financial instruments the carrying amount approximates fair value due to short maturity of those instruments.

1.19 Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2018, notifying amendments to Ind-AS 21 : The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange rates and new Ind-AS 115 : Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments are applicable to the Company from 01 April 2018.

(i) Amendment to Ind-AS 21

Appendix B : Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration, has been incorporated to Ind AS-21. The amendment clarifies that the date of transaction to determine the spot exchange rate for translation, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability, when foreign currency consideration is paid or received in advance of the item it relates. If the transaction is recognized in stages, then a transaction date would be established for each stage.

The Company is evaluating the requirements and the impact of the amendment on the standalone financial statements.

(ii) Ind-AS 115 : Revenue from Contracts with Customers

TThe new standard will replace the existing revenue recognition standards Ind-AS 18: Revenue and Ind-AS 11: Construction Contracts.

The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled.

Two methods of transition is permissible as per the standard:

Retrospective approach : As per this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented as per Ind-AS. Cumulative catch-up approach : Under this approach the standard would be applied retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application.

The Company will adopt the standard from 01 April 2018, using the cumulative catch-up approach. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard on the standalone financial statements.

(i) With respect to some of the intangible assets, change in the technology resulted in obsolescence of the assets and hence the assets were impaired during the year, resulting in an impairment loss of '' 17.64 million, recognized under depreciation and amortization expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) With respect to some of the intangible assets, the Company was unable to track separately the future economic benefits and the expected cash flows, but yielding results at the combined business level.

2017. Dividends during the year ended 31 March 2017 include '' 1.10 per share towards final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2016.

15.2 In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive a share in the remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

15.3 Reconciliation of the number of equity shares outstanding at the beginning and at the end of the year:

15.6 Aggregate number of equity shares allotted as fully paid up by way of bonus shares for the period of five years immediately preceding the Balance Sheet date - NIL (Previous year 88,971,438 shares).

1. Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation of standalone financial statements

The Company adopted Ind-AS from April 1, 2016 and accordingly the transition was carried out, from the accounting principles generally accepted in India as specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules,

2014 (IGAAP), in accordance with Ind-AS 101 - First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. Accordingly, the impact on transition has been recorded in opening reserves as at April 1, 2015 and all the periods presented have been restated accordingly. Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition has been summarized in Note 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.

Use of estimates

Critical accounting estimates a. Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

b. Impairment of goodwill

c. Income tax

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.

d. Measurement of defined benefit obligation and key actuarial assumptions

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties in respect of defined benefit obligation and share based payment in note 36 and note 43 respectively.

1.1 Current-non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as noncurrent.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The operating cycle of the Company is less than twelve months.

1.2 Revenue recognition

current contract estimates. Earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue.

Revenue from sale of third party licenses is recognized only when the sale is completed by passing ownership.

Advances received for services and products are separately reported in the financials as advance received from customers.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon actual delivery of goods along with transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customers.

Expenses reimbursed by customers during the project execution are recorded as a reduction to associated costs.

The Company presents revenues from products gross of excise duties in its Statement of Profit and Loss.

Interest income is recognized using effective interest rate method.

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

1.3 Borrowing costs

The exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, are regrouped from other exchange differences to finance costs.

1.4 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives , then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the standalone financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

1.5 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment, ifany.

In case of internally generated intangibles, costs incurred

during the research phase of a project are expensed when incurred. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of property, plant and equipment). Other development expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Intangible fixed assets are derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and subsequent disposal or when the economic benefits are not measurable.

⁽¹ For these class of assets, based on internal assessment, the useful lives as given above are believed to best represent the period over which the assets are expected to be used. Hence, the useful lives for these assets are different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Leasehold land and vehicles taken on lease are amortized over shorter of useful lives and period of lease.

Perpetual software licenses are amortized over 4 years. However, time-based software licenses are amortized over the license period.

Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of3to4 years.

Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable period of lease.

Depreciation and amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.

1.7 Impairment

a. Financial assets

The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recorded as an impairment gain or loss in Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Non- financial assets

i. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

ii. Goodwill

1.8 Inventories

Inventories which comprise raw materials, work-in- progress, finished goods and stores and spares, are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

1.9 Leases

a. Finance lease

b. Operating lease

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on straight line basis over the term of the lease, unless the increase in rentals is in line with expected general inflation.

1.10 Earnings per share

1.11 Foreign currency transactions

a. Functional and presentation currency.

Indian Rupee is the Company''s functional as well as presentation currency.

c. Translation of foreign operations

1.12 Employee benefits

i) Post-employment benefit plans

Defined benefit plan

Defined contribution plan

Compensated absences

The employees of certain locations can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accrued compensated absences and utilize it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement gains/losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

ii) Other employee benefits

1.13 Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of branches where it is expected that the earnings of the branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Minimum Alternate Tax

1.14 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

No provision is recognized for

b. Present obligations that arise from past events but are not recognized because-

1) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

2) A reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

Warranty

1.15 Research and development

1.16 Employee stock option

1.17 Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

1.18 Financial instruments

a. Initial recognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. 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 measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.

b. Subsequent measurement

i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

ii) Derivative financial instruments

Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss

Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/ current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Cash flow hedge

The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions.

Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecast transactions any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is retained until the forecast transaction occurs. When a hedged transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iii) Treasury Shares

c. Derecognition of financial instruments

is discharged or cancelled or expires.

d. Fair value of financial instruments

For all other financial instruments the carrying amount approximates fair value due to short maturity of those instruments.

1.19 Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind-AS 7 : Statement of cash flows and Ind-AS 102 : Share based payment. These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7 : Statement of cash flows and IFRS 2 : Share based payment, respectively. The amendments are applicable to the Company from 01 April 2017.

(i) Amendment to Ind-AS 7

The amendment to Ind-AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the Balance Sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.

The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the impact on the standalone financial statements is being evaluated.

(ii) Amendment to Ind-AS 102

The amendment to Ind-AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.

It clarifies that the fair value of cash-settled awards is determined on a basis consistent with that used for equity-settled awards. Market based performance conditions and non-vesting conditions are reflected in the ''fair values'', but non-market performance conditions and service vesting conditions are reflected in the estimate of the number of awards expected to vest. Also, the amendment clarifies that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share based payment transaction are modified with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as such from the date of the modification. Further, the amendment requires the award that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes to be treated as equity-settled in its entirety. The cash payment to the tax authority is treated as if it was part of an equity settlement.

The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the impact on the standalone financial statements is being evaluated.

2 First time adoption of Ind-AS :

2.1 Explanation of transition to Ind-AS

a. These are the Company''s first standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind-AS.

b. The accounting policies set out in Note 1 have been applied in preparing the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind-AS Balance Sheet as at 1 April 2015 (the Company''s date of transition).

c. In preparing its opening Ind-AS Balance Sheet and in presenting the comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2016, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in standalone financial statements, prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian Generally Accepted Accounting

Principles (IGAAP)). An explanation of how the transition from IGAAP to Ind-AS has affected the Company''s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.

2.2 Optional exemptions availed and mandatory exceptions

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has availed certain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions in accordance with Ind-AS 101 as explained below:

a. Optional exemptions availed

i. Share based payments

The Company has elected to apply the share based payment exemption available under Ind-AS 101 on application of Ind-AS 102- "Share Based Payment", to the grants that are vested before the transition date. Accordingly, only the unvested options as at the date of transition to Ind-AS have been fair valued.

ii. Deemed cost

The Company has availed the exemption under Ind-AS 101 on deemed cost, where it has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, measured as per IGAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition to Ind-AS.

b. Mandatory exceptions from full retrospective application

i Hedge accounting exceptions

The Company had followed hedge accounting under IGAAP which is aligned to Ind-AS. Accordingly, the Company continues to apply hedge accounting on and after the date of transition to Ind-AS.

ii Estimates

As per Ind AS 101, an entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS at the end of the comparative period presented in the entity''s first Ind AS financial statements are consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with the previous GAAP unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

2.3 Reconciliations

a. The below mentioned reconciliations provide the quantification of the effect of significant differences arising on the transition from IGAAP to Ind-AS, in accordance with Ind-AS 101:

Notes explaining the effects of transaction from IGAAP to Ind-AS:

i Effect of fair valuation of security deposits and amortization of advance rentals under Ind-AS.

ii Effect of deferred taxes recognized on the Ind-AS adjustments.

iii Effect of financial liabilities initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost with the corresponding impacts on the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iv Under Ind-AS, dividend and dividend distribution tax is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders while under IGAAP it is recognized in the period to which it relates.

v As per Ind-AS, share based payments are measured at fair value, whereas under IGAAP they are measured at intrinsic value.

vi As per Ind-AS, actuarial gains/(losses) are recorded in other comprehensive income as items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

vii Under Ind-AS, the effective portion of gains/(losses) on hedging instruments in cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income as items that will be reclassified to profit or loss.

Cash flow statement:

There are no material reconciliation items to the cash flow statement, as previously reported under IGAAP and Ind-AS.

Note:

(i) With respect to one of the intangible assets, the Company is unable to track separately the future economic benefits and the expected cash flows, but yielding results at the combined business level. Further, it is difficult to assess the period over which the benefits are expected to flow. Hence, during the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company has impaired the intangible asset, resulting in an impairment loss ofRs, 36.08 million, recognized under depreciation and amortization expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

16.1 The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees.

16.2 In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive a share in the remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

16.4 The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of '' 2. Each shareholder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share.

16.6 Aggregate number of equity shares allotted as fully paid up by way of bonus shares for the period of five years immediately preceding the Balance Sheet date 88,971,438 (Previous year 88,971,438).

16.7 Capital Management

The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention as a going concern on accrual basis and to comply in all material aspects with the applicable accounting principles in India including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. The Company has adopted the principles of Accounting Standard (AS 30) "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to the extent the adoption of AS 30 does not conflict with the existing accounting standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other authoritative pronouncements. The financial statements are presented in million of Indian rupees, unless otherwise stated.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of the previous year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenditure during the year. Actual results could differ from estimates. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized.

1.1 Revenue recognition

Revenue from software development and services, on time and material basis, is recognized based on software development, services rendered and related costs incurred based on timesheets and are billed to clients as per the contractual terms. Revenue from fixed price contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized based upon the proportionate completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized when the sale is completed with the passing of the ownership.

Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is recognised when property in the goods or all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods and regarding its collection. The amount recognised as revenue is exclusive of excise duty, sales tax, value added taxes (VAT) and service tax, and is net of returns, trade discounts and quantity discounts.

Customer reimbursable expenses are recorded as a reduction from associated costs.

Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company''s right to receive dividend is established.

1.2 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.3 Current-non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Current assets include the current portion of non- current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Current liabilities include current portion of non- current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The operating cycle of the Company is less than twelve months.

1.4 Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets:

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/ or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non- refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Tangible fixed assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

Intangible fixed assets:

Goodwill that arises on an amalgamation or on the acquisition of a business is presented as an intangible asset. Goodwill arising from amalgamation / acquisition is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss. Such goodwill is amortised over its estimated useful life or five years, whichever is shorter. Goodwill is tested for impairment periodically.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Non-compete fees are amortised on straight line method over the period of the agreement. The estimated useful life of intangible assets is reviewed by management at each Balance Sheet date.

Intangible fixed assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefit is expected from its use and subsequent disposal.

1.5 Depreciation and amortization :

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives for tangible assets are as follows:

(1) For these class of assets, based on internal assessment, the useful lives as given above are believed to best represent the period over which the assets are expected to be used. Hence the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

Leasehold land and vehicles taken on lease are amortized over the period of the lease.

Perpetual software licenses are amortized over 4 years. However, time-based software licenses are amortized over the license period. Capitalised development costs are amortized over a period of 4 to 5 years.

Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable period of lease.

1.6 Impairment of fixed assets

The management periodically assesses, using external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset''s net selling price and value in use. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets (cash generating unit or CGU) that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

Intangible assets which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually. Other fixed assets (tangible and intangible) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if there is any indication of impairment. For assets in respect of which any such indication exists and for intangible assets mandatorily tested annually for impairment, the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.

If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists or has decreased, the assets or CGU''s recoverable amount is estimated. For assets , the impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Such a reversal is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.7 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. However, that part of long term investments which is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date is also presented under ''current assets'' as "current portion of long term investments" in consonance with the current/ non-current classification.

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value.

Long term Investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution, other than temporary, in the value of such investments.

Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of weighted average carrying amount of investments disposed. Any reductions in the carrying amount and any reversals of such reductions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8 Inventories

Inventories which comprise raw materials, work-in- progress, finished goods, stock-in-trade, stores and spares, and loose tools are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

1.9 Leases

Assets acquired under finance leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets at inception of the lease and the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are classified as Operating Leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on straight line basis over the term of the lease.

1.10 Earnings per share

The Company reports its basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with Accounting Standard - 20 Earnings per Share.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.

1.11 Foreign currency transactions

a. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary items are translated at the year-end rates and the exchange differences so determined and also the realised exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Derivative instruments and hedge accounting

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecast transactions. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Accounting Standard (AS) 30 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to the extent the early adoption of AS 30 does not conflict with the existing accounting standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and other authoritative pronouncements.

The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company''s policy approved by the Board of Directors, which provides written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company''s risk management strategy. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The counter-party to the Company''s foreign currency forward contracts is generally a bank.

Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in fair value of these derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in shareholder''s fund under Hedging Reserves and the ineffective portion, if any is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecast transactions any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder''s fund is retained until the forecast transaction occurs. When a hedged transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder''s fund is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Forward exchange contracts outstanding at the Balance Sheet date, other than designated cash flow hedges, are stated at fair values and any gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

c. Translation of foreign operations

For translating the financial statements of foreign branches, these are classified into ''integral'' and ''non-integral'' foreign operations. Integral foreign operations are those which carry on their business as if they were an extension of the Company''s operations. Other foreign operations are classified as non-integral. Accordingly, the Company''s foreign operations have been classified as integral foreign operations.

The financial statements of these operations are translated into Indian Rupees as if the transactions of the foreign operation were those of the Company itself.

1.12 Employee benefits

i) Post-employment benefit plans Defined benefit plan

The Company''s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with independent actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested or amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company''s contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Compensated absences

The employees of certain locations can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation carried out at each Balance Sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

ii) Other employee benefits

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised during the period when the employee renders the service. These benefits include compensated absences (which cannot be carried forward) such as paid annual leave, overseas social security contributions and performance incentives.

1.13 Accounting for taxes on income

Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with the income-tax law) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period). Income-tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income i.e. differences that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each Balance Sheet date and written down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

Minimum Alternate Tax

Minimum Alternative Tax (''MAT'') under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The credit available under the Act in respect of MAT paid is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.

1.14 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

The Company recognizes provisions only when it has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

No provision is recognized for -

(a) Any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

(b) Present obligations that arise from past events but are not recognized because-

1) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

2) A reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Such obligations are recorded as Contingent liabilities. These are assessed continually and only that part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable, is provided for, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized or disclosed in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

Warranty

The Company has an obligation by way of warranty to maintain the software during the period of warranty, which may vary from contract to contract. Costs associated with such sales are accrued at the time when related revenues are recorded and included in cost of service delivery. The Company estimates such cost based on historical experience and the estimates are reviewed periodically for material changes in the assumptions.

1.15 Research and development

Costs incurred during the research phase of a project are expensed when incurred. Costs incurred in the development phase are recognized as an intangible asset in accordance with policy defined in 1.4.

1.16 Employee stock option

In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Company''s Employee Stock Option Scheme, the excess of the market price of the shares, at the date of grant of options, over the exercise price is regarded as employee compensation, and recognized on straight line basis over the period over which the employees would become unconditionally entitled to apply for the shares.

Mar 31, 2015

Basis for preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention as a going concern on the accrual basis and to comply in all material aspects with all the applicable accounting principles in India including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. The Company has adopted the principles of Accounting Standard (AS 30) "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to the extent the adoption of AS 30 does not conflict with the existing accounting standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other authoritative pronouncements. The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees rounded off to the nearest rupee.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of the previous year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenditure during the year. Actual results could differ from estimates. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized.

1.1 Revenue recognition

Revenue from software development and services, on time and material basis, is recognized based on software development, services rendered and related costs incurred based on timesheets and are billed to clients as per the contractual obligations. Revenue from

fixed price contracts, where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized based upon the proportionate completion method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Revenue from the sale of software products is recognized when the sale is completed with the passing of the ownership.

Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is recognised when property in the goods or all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods and regarding its collection. The amount recognised as revenue is exclusive of sales tax, value added taxes (VAT) and service tax, and is net of returns, trade discounts and quantity discounts.

Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company's right to receive dividend is established.

1.2 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.3 Current-non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company's normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Current assets include the current portion of non- current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities

A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle;

b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Current liabilities include current portion of non- current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. The operating cycle of the Company is less than twelve months.

1.4 Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets:

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/ or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non- refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Tangible fixed assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

Intangible fixed assets:

Goodwill that arises on an amalgamation or on the acquisition of a business is presented as an intangible asset. Goodwill arising from amalgamation/acquisition is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss. Such goodwill is amortised over its estimated useful life or five years, whichever is shorter. Goodwill is tested for impairment periodically.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly

attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

Non-compete fees are amortised on straight line method over the period of the agreement. The estimated useful life of intangible assets is reviewed by management at each Balance Sheet date.

1.5 Depreciation and amortization :

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives for tangible assets are as follows:

Type of asset Useful life (Number of years)

Buildings'11 25

Plant and equipment111 4

Office equipment111 10

Owned vehicle111 5

Furniture and fixtures'11 8

(1)For these class of assets, based on internal assessment, the useful lives as given above are believed to best represent the period over which the assets are expected to be used. Hence the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

Based on the internal evaluation by the Company, the useful life of Buildings has been reassessed from 15 years to 25 years. The impact of this change on the depreciation for the year is not expected to be material.

Leasehold land and vehicles taken on lease are amortized over the period of the lease.

Perpetual Software licenses are amortized over 4 years. However, time-based software licenses are amortized over the license period. Capitalised development costs are amortized over a period of4to5 years.

1.6 Impairment of fixed assets

The Management periodically assesses, using external and internal sources, whetherthere is an indication that an asset may be impaired. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset's net selling price and value in use. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets (cash generating unit or CGU) that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

Intangible assets which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually. Other fixed assets (tangible and intangible) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if there is any indication of impairment. For assets in respect of which any such indication exists and for intangible assets mandatorily tested annually for impairment, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists or has decreased, the assets or CGU's recoverable amount is estimated. For assets, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Such a reversal is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.7 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. However, that part of long term investments which is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date is also presented under 'current assets' as "current portion of long term investments" in consonance with the current/non- current classification.

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value.

Long term Investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution, other than temporary, in the value of such investments.

Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of weighted average carrying amount of investments disposed. Any reductions in the carrying amount and any reversals of such reductions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8 Inventories

Inventories which comprise raw materials, work-in- progress, finished goods, stock-in-trade, stores and spares, and loose tools are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost method is used. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

1.9 Leases

Assets acquired under finance leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets

at inception of the lease and the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance ofthe liability.

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are classified as Operating Leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on straight line basis over the term of the lease.

1.10 Earnings per share

The Company reports its basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with Accounting Standard - 20 Earnings per Share.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.

1.11 Foreign currency transactions

a. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary items are translated at the year-end rates and the exchange differences so determined as also the realised exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

b. Derivative instruments and hedge accounting

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecast transactions. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Accounting Standard (AS) 30 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" ofthe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to the extent the early adoption of AS 30 does not conflict with the existing accounting standards prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and other authoritative pronouncements.

The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company's policy approved by the Board of Directors, which provides written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company's risk management strategy.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The counter-party to the Company's foreign currency forward contracts is generally a bank.

Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in fair value of these derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in shareholder's fund under Hedging Reserves and the ineffective portion, if any is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecast transactions any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder's fund is retained until the forecast transaction occurs. When a hedged transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder's fund is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Forward exchange contracts outstanding at the Balance Sheet date, other than designated cash flow hedges, are stated at fair values and any gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

c. Translation of foreign operations

For translating the financial statements of foreign branches, these are classified into 'integral' and 'non-integral' foreign operations. Integral foreign operations are those which carry on their business as if they were an extension of the Company's operations. Other foreign operations are classified as non-integral. Accordingly, the Company's foreign operations have been classified as integral foreign operations.

The financial statements of these operations are translated into Indian Rupees as if the transactions of the foreign operation were those of the Company itself.

1.12 Employee benefits

i) Post-employment benefit plans Defined benefit plan

The Company's gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with independent actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested or amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the scheme.

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company's contribution is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Compensated absences

The employees of certain locations can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilized wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation carried out at each Balance Sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

ii) Other employee benefits

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised during the period when the employee renders the service. These benefits include compensated absences (which cannot be carried forward) such as paid annual leave, overseas social security contributions and performance incentives.

1.13 Accounting for taxes on income

Income tax

Income-tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with the income-tax law) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period). Income-tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income i.e. differences that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

Minimum alternate tax

Minimum Alternative Tax ('MAT') under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The credit available under the Act in respect of MAT paid is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.

1.14 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

The Company recognizes provisions only when it has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
