The Company will assess the impact once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.

Level 2:

Forward exchange contracts: The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date and present value calculations based on yield curves in the respective currencies.

Non-convertible debentures: The fair value is estimated considering quoted prices of securities with similar maturity and credit rating that are traded in active markets.

Offsetting financial assets with liabilities

The Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability when it currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

37. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Companyâs activities expose it to the following risks:

> Credit risk

> Interest rate risk

> Liquidity risk

> Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Company has a risk management policy/ framework which covers risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The risk management policy/ framework is approved by the Treasury Committee. The focus of such framework is to assess the unpredictability of the financial environment and to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk on account of financial guarantee given on behalf on of its subsidiaries [Refer note 30(c)]. Trade receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Companyâs established policies, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Five customer groups individually accounted for more than 10% of the trade receivable for the years ended 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022: Three customer groups).

Financial instruments and deposits with banks

Credit risk is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investments in liquid mutual fund units, State Development Loans, deposits and bonds issued by Government owned entities and highly rated financial institutions. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company periodically and the limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterpartyâs potential failure to make payments. Three banks individually accounted for more than 10% of the Companyâs deposits and bank balances for the year ended 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022: Three banks).

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Companyâs debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Companyâs borrowings are short term / working capital in nature. The Companyâs investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Hence, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Companyâs principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, current investments and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that these sources are sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have a potential impact on the standalone statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, where transactions are denominated in a currency other than functional currency. Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companyâs exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in United States Dollars (âUSDâ). The Company also has exposures to Great Britain Pound (âGBPâ) and Euros (âEURâ)). The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Companyâs operating activities and financing activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its forecasted cash flows and trade receivables.

b. OTHERS

There are no funds that have been advanced or loaned or invested (either from borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any other persons or entities, including foreign entities (âIntermediariesâ), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Company (âUltimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.

There have been no funds that have been received by the Company from any persons or entities, including foreign entities (âFunding Partiesâ), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Company shall directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party (âUltimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.

39. FAIR VALUES

Financial instruments carried at amortised cost such as cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, loans, other financial assets, unbilled revenue, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

â¢ The fair values of the quoted investments are based on price quotations at the reporting date.

â¢ The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. Foreign exchange forward contracts & non-convertible debentures are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

40. HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND DERIVATIVES

The Companyâs revenue is denominated in various foreign currencies given the nature of business, a large part of the costs are denominated in INR. This exposes the Company to currency fluctuations. The counterparty, for all derivative financial instruments is a bank.

During the years ended 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, the Company has designated certain foreign exchange forward as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable cashflow forecast transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedge reserve as at March 31,2023 are expected to occur and reclassified to statement of profit and loss within 2 years.

The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of its forecasted cash flows. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure than an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items. Designated cash flow hedges are measured at FVTOCI. Other derivatives which are not designated as hedge are measured at FVTPL.

The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

42. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Offsetting financial assets with liabilities

The Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability when it currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company''s activities expose it to the following risks:

- Credit risk

- Interest risk

- Liquidity risk

- Foreign currency exchange rate risk

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and unbilled revenue) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade Receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policies, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Two customer groups accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable for the year ended 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018. Two customer groups accounted individually for more than 10% of the unbilled revenue for the year ended 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018.

The Company''s days sales outstanding as at 31 March 2019 is 79 days (31 March 2018: 85 days).

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low as they are spread across multiple geographies and multiple industries.

Financial instruments and deposits with banks

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company''s borrowings are short term / working capital in nature. The Company''s investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Hence, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the standalone statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets / liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entities. Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in United States Dollars (âUSD''). Company also has exposures to Great Britain Pound (âGBP'') and Euros (âEURâ)). The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counter party for these transactions are banks. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Sensitivity analysis

For every 1% appreciation/depreciation of the respective foreign currencies, the Company''s profit before taxes will be impacted approximately by Rs, 6.50 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 (31 March 2018: Rs, 13.84 million).

5. FAIR VALUES

Financial instruments carried at amortized cost such as cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, loans, other financial assets, unbilled revenue, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

- The fair values of the quoted investments are based on price quotations at the reporting date.

- The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

6. HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND DERIVATIVES

The Company''s revenue is denominated in various foreign currencies. Given the nature of business, a large part of the costs are denominated in INR. This exposes the Company to currency fluctuations. The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage exposure on some of its transactions. The counterparty, for all derivative financial instruments is banks.

The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

Sensitivity analysis

Every 1% appreciation/depreciation of the respective underlying foreign currencies, the Company''s OCI will increase or decrease approximately by Rs, 330.00 million for the year ending 31 March 2019 (31 March 2018: Rs, 343.00 million).

7. Pursuant to the requirement of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a Corporate Social Responsibility (âCSR'') committee has been formed by the Company. The primary function of the Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in formulating a CSR Policy and review the implementation and progress of the same from time to time. The CSR Policy focuses on creating opportunities for the disadvantaged with emphasis on persons with disabilities and technology driven community development. Gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the year was RS 182.20 million (31 March 2018: Rs, 168.57 million). The expenses incurred towards CSR activities amounting to RS, 182.20 million (31 March 2018: RS 129.12 million) has been charged to the statement of profit and loss and is disclosed under other expenses.

8. During the year ended 31 March 2018, upon assessment of future profitability, the Company provided an amount of Rs, 130.78 million (net of tax Rs, 69.22 million) towards expected loss and the same has been disclosed as an exceptional item.

9. The corresponding figures as at and for the year ended 31 March 2018 were audited by a firm, other than B S R & Co. LLP.

10. Subsequent events

The Board of Directors in their meeting held on 27 May 2019 have proposed a final dividend of Rs, 27 per equity share for the year ended 31 March 2019 which is subject to the approval of shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and if approved, would result in a cash outflow of approximately Rs, 5,027.91 million, inclusive of dividend distribution tax of Rs, 1,033.50 million.

The Companyâs objective is to maintain a strong capital base to ensure sustained growth in business. The Capital Management focusses to maintain an optimal structure that balances growth and maximizes shareholder value.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

a. Gratuity plan

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (funded). The Companyâs defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for India employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.

The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the memberâs length of service and salary at retirement age. The fund has the form of a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees, which consists of an equal number of employer and employee representatives. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy.

Each year, the Board of Trustees reviews the level of funding in the India gratuity plan. Such a review includes the asset-liability matching strategy and investment risk management policy. This includes employing the use of annuities and longevity swaps to manage the risks. The Board of Trustees decides its contribution based on the results of this annual review. Generally, it aims to have a portfolio mix of equity instruments, property and debt instruments. The Board of Trustees aim to keep annual contributions relatively stable at a level such that no plan deficits (based on valuation performed) will arise.

b. Provident fund

The Company has carried out actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2018. The actuary has provided a valuation for provident fund liabilities and based on the assumption mentioned below, there is no shortfall as at 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017.

The amount of plan assets disclosed below has been restricted to the extent of present value of benefit obligation at the year end.

9. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Companyâs activities expose it to the following risks:

- Credit risk

- Interest risk

- Liquidity risk

- Market risk

CREDIT RISK

Credit Risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and unbilled revenue) and from its financing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade Receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Companyâs established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security.

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low as they are spread across multiple geographies and multiple industries.

Financial instruments and deposits with banks

Credit risk is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investments in liquid mutual fund units and bonds issued by government. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company periodically and the limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterpartyâs potential failure to make payments.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Companyâs debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Companyâs borrowings are short term / working capital in nature and hence is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Companyâs principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.

MARKET RISK

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companyâs exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in United States Dollars (âUSDâ)). The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Companyâs operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).

Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its forecasted cash flows and trade receivables.

The foreign exchange exposure of the Company has been hedged by forward contracts disclosed above.

Sensitivity analysis

Every 1% increase/decrease of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would impact operating margins by 0.19 % for the year ending 31 March 2018 and 0.25% for the year ending 31 March 2017

10. FAIR VALUES

Financial instruments carried at Amortised cost such as Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Loans and advances, other financial assets, Borrowings and Trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to short term nature.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

- The fair values of the quoted Investments are based on price quotations at the reporting date.

11. HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND DERIVATIVES

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage exposure on some of its transactions. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to twelve months.

Cash flow hedges

Foreign currency risk

The Company has taken cash flow hedges on account of highly probable forecast transactions. These are measured at fair value through OCI.

The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

The terms of the foreign currency forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions. As a result, no hedge ineffectiveness arise requiring recognition through profit or loss.

The cash flow hedges of the expected future sales during the year ended 31 March 2018 were assessed to be highly effective and a net unrealised loss of Rs.715.49 millions, with a deferred tax asset of Rs.246.38 millions relating to the hedging instruments, is included in OCI. Comparatively, the cash flow hedges of the expected future sales during the year ended 31 March 2017 were assessed to be highly effective and an unrealised gain of Rs.727.76 millions with a deferred tax liability of Rs.251.86 millions was included in OCI in respect of these contracts.

12. As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a Corporate Social Responsibility (âCSRâ) committee has been formed by Mphasis Limited. The primary function of the Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in formulating a CSR Policy and review the implementation and progress of the same from time to time. The CSR Policy focuses on creating opportunities for the disadvantaged with emphasis on persons with disabilities and Technology driven community development. Gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the year was Rs.168.57 millions (31 March 2017: Rs.129.80 millions). The expenses incurred towards CSR activities amounting to Rs.129.12 million (31 March 2017: Rs.133.56 millions) has been charged to the statement of profit and loss and is disclosed under other expenses.

13. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement executed on 4 April 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, the erstwhile ultimate holding company has transferred its entire stake in the Company to Marble II Pte. Limited, a company in Blackstone group, effective 1 September 2016. Further, Marble II Pte.

Further to the above, the Company forms part of Blackstone group of companies.

14. During the previous year, the transfer of control from Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company to Blackstone group has resulted in accelerated vesting of unvested employee stock options and employee bonus, accordingly the Company has provided for deferred employee compensation cost on an accelerated basis over the remaining vesting period amounting to Rs.39.77 millions (net of tax of Rs.21.45 millions) and has accounted the same as exceptional item.

15. STANDARDS/ PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract with Customers:

On 28 March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard replaces Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Ind AS 18 Revenue.

The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Ind AS 115 introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

- Identify the contract(s) with a customer

- Identify the performance obligation in contract

- Determine the transaction price

- Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

- Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Ind AS 115 establishes control-based revenue recognition model. An entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when âcontrolâ of the goods or services underlying the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Also, Ind AS 115 provides more guidance for deciding whether revenue is recognised at a point in time or over time.

Transitional options under Ind AS 115:

- Retrospectively to each prior period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, subject to some practical expedients mentioned in Ind AS 115

- Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application recognised at the date of initial application

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of Ind AS 115 on its financial statements.

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:

On 28 March 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force from 1 April, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company''s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

Client relationships are driven based on client domicile. The geographical segments include United States of America (USA), India, Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA).

The Company is predominantly equity financed which is evident from the capital structure table above. Further the Company has sufficient cash, cash equivalents, current investments and financial assets which are liquid to meet the debts.

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS a. Gratuity Plan

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (funded). The Company''s defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for India employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund.

The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at retirement age. The fund has the form of a trust and it is governed by the Board of Trustees, which consists of an equal number of employer and employee representatives. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy.

The following tables set out the status of the gratuity plan.

Trade receivables

Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low as they are spread across multiple geographies and multiple industries.

Financial instruments and deposits with banks

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company''s borrowings are short term / working capital in nature and hence is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.

Market Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in United States Dollars (âUSD'')). The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).

The foreign exchange exposure of the Company has been hedged by forward contracts disclosed above.

Sensitivity analysis

Every 1% increase/decrease of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would impact operating margins by 0.25% for the year ending 31 March 2017 and 0.14% for the year ending 31 March 2016.

7. FAIR VALUES

Financial instruments carried at Amortized cost such as Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Loans and advances, other financial assets, Borrowings and Trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to short term nature.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

- The fair values of the quoted Investments are based on price quotations at the reporting date.

8. HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND DERIVATIVES Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. The foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions, generally from one to twelve months.

Cash flow hedges Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange forward contracts measured at fair value through OCI are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges of forecast sales in foreign currencies. These forecast transactions are highly probable.

The foreign exchange forward contract balances vary with the level of expected foreign currency sales and changes in foreign exchange forward rates.

The cash flow hedges of the expected future sales during the year ended 31 March 2017 were assessed to be highly effective and a net unrealised gain ofRs,727.75 millions, with a deferred tax liability ofRs,251.86 millions relating to the hedging instruments, is included in OCI. Comparatively, the cash flow hedges of the expected future sales during the year ended 31 March 2016 were assessed to be highly effective and an unrealised gain ofRs,107.07 millions with a deferred tax liability ofRs,37.06 millions was included in OCI in respect of these contracts.

9. The Company has announced a buyback of up to 17,370,078 fully paid-up equity shares of face value ofRs,10 each (âEquity Sharesâ), representing up to 8.26% of the total paid-up equity share capital of the Company, from all the shareholders/beneficial owners of the Equity Shares of the Company as on the record date i.e., 31 March 2017 (âRecord Dateâ), on a proportionate basis, by way of âtender offerâ method as prescribed under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy Back of Securities) Regulations, 1998 (âBuyback Regulationsâ) through the stock exchange mechanism as specified by Securities and Exchange Board of India (âSEBIâ) in its circular bearing number CIR/CFD/POLICYCELL/1/2015 dated 13 April 2015 read with SEBI circular bearing number CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2016/131 dated 9 December 2016, at a price ofRs,635 per Equity Share for an aggregate amount of up toRs,11,029,999,530 (âBuybackâ/ âBuyback Offerâ).

13. ADOPTION OF Ind AS

These standalone financial statements, for the year ended 31 March 2017, have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For the year ended 31 March 2016, the Company prepared its annual standalone financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (âIndian GAAP'' or âprevious GAAP'').

Accordingly, the Company has prepared standalone financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for the year ended 31 March 2017, together with the comparative period data, as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP financial statements.

Exemptions applied

Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following material exemptions:

- Ind AS 101 provides an option to restate past business combinations as per Ind AS 103 (âBusiness Combination'') starting from a pre transition date (selected by the Company). Accordingly, Company has selected 01 Aug 2011 as the pre transition date (effective date) and has restated all business combinations post effective date.

- The Company has elected to avail exemption under Ind AS 101 to use India GAAP carrying value as deemed cost at the date of transition for all items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as per the statement of financial position prepared in accordance with previous GAAP.

Notes to reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS

a) Fair valuation of investments

Under previous GAAP, current investments were measured at lower of cost or fair value and long term investments were measured at cost less diminution in value which is other than temporary. Under Ind AS, financial assets other than those valued at amortized cost are measured at fair value.

Investment in Mutual Funds have been classified as fair value through statement of profit and loss and fair value changes are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

b) Fair valuation of forward contracts

Under previous GAAP, in relation to the forward contracts entered into, to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with paragraphs 36 and 37 of AS 11. Under Ind AS, the aforementioned forward contracts are fair valued through statement of profit and loss and fair value changes are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

c) Dividend and tax on dividend

Under previous GAAP, dividend payable was recorded as a liability in the period to which it relates. Under Ind AS, dividend to holders of equity instruments is recognized as a liability in the period in which the obligation to pay is established.

d) Effect of consolidation of employee welfare trusts

Under previous GAAP, employee welfare trusts were not required to be consolidated considering that these trusts were constituted as irrecoverable trusts. Under Ind AS all the employee welfare trusts have been consolidated.

e) Employee benefits

Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses were recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses form part of re-measurement of net defined benefit liability/asset which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the respective periods.

14. The comparatives given in the standalone financial statements have been compiled after making necessary Ind AS adjustments to the respective audited financial statements under previous GAAP to give a true and fair view in accordance with Ind AS.

15. 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,âStatement of cash flows'' and Ind AS 102, âShare-based payment.'' These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, âStatement of cash flows'' and IFRS 2, âShare-based payment,'' respectively. The amendments are applicable to the Company from 1 April 2017.

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 currently evaluating the requirements of the amendment and has not yet determined the impact on the standalone financial statements.

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 âfair 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 currently evaluating the requirements of the amendment and has not yet determined the impact on the standalone financial statements.

6. Segment reporting

The Company has identified Banking and Capital Market, Insurance, Information Technology, Communication and Entertainment and Emerging Industries as primary business segments of the Company.

Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segments on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items, and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as ''unallocated''.

Client relationships are driven based on client domicile. The geographical segments include United States of America (USA), India Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA).

6. Segment reporting

The Company has identified Banking and Capital Market, Insurance, Information Technology, Communication and Entertainment and Emerging Industries as primary business segments of the Company.

The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments. Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segments on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items, and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as 'unallocated'.

6. Segment reporting

The Company has identified Banking and Capital Market, Insurance, Information Technology, Communication and Entertainment and Emerging Industries as primary business segments of the Company.

The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments. Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segments on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items, and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as ''unallocated''.

Employee Stock Option Plans ('ESOP') - Equity Settled

Effective 1 February 2011, the Company has adopted the policy of accounting employee stock-based compensations using fair-value method in place of intrinsic value method. In the opinion of the Company, fair value method is a more globally accepted method. Measurement and disclosure of the employee share based payments plan is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the guidance note on accounting for Employee Share Based Payments, issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). The Company accounts for stock compensation expense based on the fair value of the option granted, determined on the date of grant. Compensation expenses are amortized over the vesting period of the option on the straight line basis.

Had the Company adopted the intrinsic value method of accounting, the employee compensation cost would have been higher by Rs. 610,929 for the year ended 31 October 2011 and profit would have been lower by that extent.

All the ESOPs are in respect of the Company's shares where each stock option is equivalent to one equity share. In accordance with the Guidance Note on "Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments" issued by the ICAI with effect from 1 April 2005, the necessary disclosures have been made for the years ended 31 October 2011 and 31 October 2010 for grants outstanding on and made on or after that date for each of the plans described below (Also refer note 37).

Employees Stock Option Plan 1998 (the 1998 Plan): The Company instituted the 1998 Plan for all eligible employees in pursuance of the special resolution approved by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting held on 31 July 1998. The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of 3,720,000 options to eligible employees as recommended by the ESOP Committee constituted for this purpose.

The Company was reporting Applications Services, Infrastructure Outsourcing Services and Business Process Outsourcing Services as its primary business segments till 31 October 2010.

The comparative figures have been restated to reflect information for these new segments.

The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments. Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segments on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items, and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as 'unallocated'.

Client relationships are driven based on client domicile. The geographical segments include United States of America (USA), India & Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA). Secondary segment information for previous year has been re grouped based on geographical segments of current year.

7. Stock Based Compensation

The Company uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for its employee stock options except for RSU Plan 2010 and RSU Plan 2011 wherein compensation cost is measured based on fair value method. The Company has therefore adopted the pro-forma disclosure provisions as required by the Guidance Note on "Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments" issued by the ICAI with effect from 1 April 2005.

Had the compensation cost been determined in a manner consistent with the fair value approach described in the aforesaid Guidance Note, the Company's net profit and EPS as reported would have been adjusted to the pro-forma amounts indicated below:

The gratuity expense is grouped under salary and allowances in the profit and loss account. The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market. Expected return on plan assets is computed based on prevailing market rate.

8. Loans and Advances include service tax input credit receivable, (net) of Rs. 2,662,837,992 (31 October 2010: Rs. 2,510,057,550). Based on legal opinion obtained by the Company, service tax liability on imported services under "Import of Services Rules" have been discharged using accumulated balance available in CENVAT Credit Account for the period December 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Effective April 1 ,2011 such position is reversed and service tax liability on select imported services under "Import of Services Rules" have been discharged in cash. Further, the Company has obtained legal opinions in support of its position on non applicability of Sec 66A of the Finance Act 1994 read with 'Import of Services Rules' on onsite services provided by foreign vendors (including group companies).

The management, per the legal opinions, is confident that the legal positions taken by the Company are tenable and defendable under law.

The Companys operations predominantly relate to providing application development and maintenance (Application) services, business process outsourcing (BPO) services and infrastructure outsourcing (ITO) services delivered to clients operating globally. Secondary segmental reporting is done on the basis of the geographical location of clients.

Application services cover consulting, application development, testing and application maintenance services. BPO services provide voice, transaction based services and knowledge based processes. ITO covers a range of infrastructure management services and service/ technical help desks.

The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.

Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segments on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items, and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as unallocated.

Client relationships are driven based on client domicile. The geographical segments include United States of America (USA), the Middle East and India and Others.

Such services are not capable of being expressed in any generic unit and hence, it is not possible to give the quantitative details required under paragraphs 3, 4C and 4D of Part II of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956.
