Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive), as a result ofa past event, it is probable that an outflow of economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation anda reliable estimate can be made of the amount ofthe obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the bestestimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period,considering the risks and uncertainties surroundingthe obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits requiredto settle a provision are expected to be recoveredfrom a third party, the receivable is recognized as anasset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement willbe received and the amount of the receivable can bemeasured reliably.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized whenthe expected benefits to be derived by the Companyfrom a contract are lower than the unavoidable costsof meeting the future obligations under the contract.Provisions for onerous contracts are measured atthe present value of lower of the expected net costof fulfilling the contract and the expected cost ofterminating the contract.
The Company derives revenue primarily from softwaredevelopment, maintenance of software/hardwareand related services, consulting services, businessprocess services and sale of IT products.
Revenues from customer contracts are consideredfor recognition and measurement when the contracthas been approved by the parties to the contract, theparties to contract are committed to perform theirrespective obligations under the contract, and thecontract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognizedupon transfer of control of promised products orservices to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration the Company expects to receive (the“Transaction Price”). Revenue towards satisfactionof the performance obligation is measured at theamount of the Transaction Price (net of variableconsideration on account of discounts andallowances) allocated to that performance obligation.To recognize revenues, the Company applies thefollowing five step approach: (1) identify the contractwith a customer, (2) identify the performanceobligations in the contract, (3) determine theTransaction Price, (4) allocate the Transaction Priceto the performance obligations in the contract,and (5) recognize revenues when a performanceobligation is satisfied. When there is uncertainty as tocollectability, revenue recognition is postponed untilsuch uncertainty is resolved.
At contract inception, the Company assesses itspromise to transfer products or services to a customerto identify separate performance obligations. TheCompany applies judgement to determine whethereach product or service promised to a customeris capable of being distinct, and are distinct in thecontext of the contract, if not, the promised productsor services are combined and accounted as a singleperformance obligation. The Company allocatesthe Transaction Price to separately identifiableperformance obligations based on their relativestand-alone selling price or residual method. Stand¬alone selling prices are determined based on saleprices for the components when it is regularly soldseparately, in cases where the Company is unable todetermine the stand-alone selling price, the Companyuses third-party prices for similar deliverables or theCompany uses expected cost-plus margin approach inestimating the stand-alone selling price.
For performance obligations where control istransferred over time, revenues are recognizedby measuring progress towards completion of theperformance obligation. The selection of the methodto measure progress towards completion requiresjudgment and is based on the nature of the promisedproducts or services to be provided.
The method for recognising revenues and costsdepends on the nature of contracts with customers asgiven below:
Revenues and costs relating to time and materialscontracts are recognized as the related servicesare rendered.
Revenues from fixed-price developmentcontracts, including software development, andintegration contracts, where the performanceobligations are satisfied over time, are recognizedusing the “percentage-of-completion” method.The performance obligations are satisfied asand when the services are rendered since thecustomer generally obtains control of the workas it progresses. Percentage of completion isdetermined based on project costs incurred
to date as a percentage of total estimatedproject costs required to complete the project.The cost expended (or input) method has beenused to measure progress towards completionas there is a direct relationship between inputand productivity. This method is followedwhen reasonably dependable estimates ofthe revenues and costs applicable to variouselements of the contract can be made. Keyfactors that are reviewed in estimating thefuture costs to complete include estimates offuture labor costs and productivity efficiencies.Because the financial reporting of thesecontracts depends on estimates that areassessed continually during the term of thesecontracts, revenue recognized, profit andtiming of revenue for remaining performanceobligations are subject to revisions as thecontract progresses to completion. If theCompany is not able to reasonably measure theprogress of completion, revenue is recognizedonly to the extent of costs incurred for whichrecoverability is probable. When total costestimates exceed revenues in an arrangement,the estimated losses are recognized in thestatement of profit and loss in the period inwhich such losses become probable based onthe current contract estimates as an onerouscontract provision.
A contract asset is a right to considerationthat is conditional upon factors other than thepassage of time. Contract assets primarilyrelate to unbilled amounts on fixed-pricedevelopment contracts and are classified asnon-financial asset as the contractual right toconsideration is dependent on completion ofcontractual milestones.
A contract liability is an entity's obligation totransfer goods or services to a customer forwhich the entity has received consideration (orthe amount is due) from the customer.
Revenues related to fixed-price maintenancecontracts are recognized on a straight-linebasis when services are performed throughan indefinite number of repetitive acts over a
specified period or ratably using percentage ofcompletion method when the pattern of benefitsfrom the services rendered to the customers andthe cost to fulfil the contract is not even throughthe period of contract because the services aregenerally discrete in nature and not repetitive.
Revenue for contracts in which the invoicingis representative of the value being deliveredis recognized based on our right to invoice.If our invoicing is not consistent with valuedelivered, revenues are recognized as theservice is performed using the percentage ofcompletion method.
In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service oroutput units is agreed at a fixed price for a fixedterm. In such contracts, revenue is recognizedwith respect to the actual output achieved tilldate as a percentage of total contractual output.Any residual service unutilized by the customer isrecognized as revenue on completion of the term.
Revenues and costs are recognized as the relatedservices are rendered.
Revenue on product sales are recognized when the
customer obtains control of the specified product.
• Any change in scope or price is considered as acontract modification. The Company accounts formodifications to existing contracts by assessingwhether the services added are distinct andwhether the pricing is at the stand-alone sellingprice. Services added that are not distinct areaccounted for on a cumulative catch up basis,while those that are distinct are accounted forprospectively, either as a separate contract if theadditional services are priced at the stand-aloneselling price, or as a termination of the existingcontract and creation of a new contract if not pricedat the stand-alone selling price.
• The Company accounts for variable considerationslike, volume discounts, rebates and pricingincentives to customers and penalties as reductionof revenue on a systematic and rational basis over
the period of the contract. The Company estimatesan amount of such variable consideration usingexpected value method or the single most likelyamount in a range of possible considerationdepending on which method better predicts theamount of consideration to which the Companymay be entitled and when it is probable thata significant reversal of cumulative revenuerecognized will not occur when the uncertaintyassociated with the variable considerationis resolved.
• Revenues are shown net of allowances/returns,sales tax, value added tax, goods and services taxand applicable discounts.
• The Company may enter into arrangements withthird party suppliers to resell products or services.In such cases, the Company evaluates whether theCompany is the principal (i.e. report revenues ona gross basis) or agent (i.e. report revenues on anet basis). In doing so, the Company first evaluateswhether the Company controls the good or servicebefore it is transferred to the customer. TheCompany considers whether it has the primaryobligation to fulfill the contract, inventory risk,pricing discretion and other factors to determinewhether it controls the goods or services andtherefore, is acting as a principal or an agent. Ifthe Company controls the good or service before itis transferred to the customer, the Company is theprincipal; if not, the Company is the agent.
• Estimates of the Transaction Price and total costsor efforts are continuously monitored over theterm of the contract and are recognized in netprofit in the period when these estimates changeor when the estimates are revised. Revenues andthe estimated total costs or efforts are subject torevision as the contract progresses.
• The Company accrues the estimated cost ofwarranties at the time when the revenue isrecognized. The accruals are based on theCompany's historical experience of material usageand service delivery costs.
• Incremental costs that relate directly to a contractand incurred in securing a contract with a customerare recognized as an asset when the Companyexpects to recover these costs.
• The Company recognizes contract fulfilment costas an asset if those costs specifically relate to acontract or to an anticipated contract, the costsgenerate or enhance resources that will be used insatisfying performance obligations in future; andthe costs are expected to be recovered.
• Costs to obtain contract relating to upfrontpayments to customers are amortised to revenueand other costs to obtain contract and costs tofulfill contract are amortised to cost of sales overthe respective contract life on a systematic basisconsistent with the transfer of goods or services tocustomer to which the asset relates.
• The Company assesses the timing of the transferof goods or services to the customer as comparedto the timing of payments to determine whethera significant financing component exists. As apractical expedient, the Company does not assessthe existence of a significant financing componentwhen the difference between payment and transferof deliverables is twelve months or less. If thedifference in timing arises for reasons other thanthe provision of finance to either the customer orus, no financing component is deemed to exist.
• Unbilled receivables are classified as a financialasset where the right to consideration isunconditional and only the passage of time isrequired before the payment is due.
Finance costs comprises interest on borrowings,interest on lease liabilities, interest on tax matters,interest on net defined benefit liability, net losson translation or settlement of foreign currencyborrowings, changes in fair value of derivativeinstruments and gains/(losses) of settlement ofborrowing related derivative instruments. Borrowingcosts that are not directly attributable to a qualifyingasset are recognized in the statement of profit andloss using the effective interest method.
Finance and other income comprises interest incomeon deposits, dividend income, gains/(losses) ondisposal of investments, gains/(losses) on investmentsclassified as FVTPL, net gain on translation orsettlement of foreign currency borrowings, changes infair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of related
derivative instruments and net gains/(losses) on saleof property, plant and equipment. Interest incomeis recognized using the effective interest method.Dividend income is recognized when the right toreceive payment is established.
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax.Income tax expense is recognized in the statementof profit and loss except to the extent it relates to abusiness combination, or items directly recognized inequity or in other comprehensive income.
Current income tax for the current and prior periodsare measured at the amount expected to be recoveredfrom or paid to the taxation authorities based on thetaxable income for the period. The tax rates and taxlaws used to compute the current tax amounts arethose that are enacted or substantively enacted asat the reporting date and applicable for the period.While determining the tax provisions, the Companyassesses whether each uncertain tax position is to beconsidered separately or together with one or moreuncertain tax positions depending upon the natureand circumstances of each uncertain tax position. TheCompany offsets current tax assets and current taxliabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right toset off the recognized amounts and where it intendseither to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assetand liability simultaneously.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balancesheet approach. Deferred income tax assets andliabilities are recognized for deductible and taxabletemporary differences arising between the tax baseof assets and liabilities and their carrying amountin these standalone financial statements, exceptwhen the deferred income tax arises from the initialrecognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in atransaction that is not a business combination andaffects neither accounting nor taxable profits or lossat the time of the transaction.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to theextent it is probable that taxable profit will be availableagainst which the deductible temporary differences
and the carry forward of unused tax credits andunused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized forall taxable temporary differences except in respectof taxable temporary differences that is expectedto reverse within the tax holiday period, taxabletemporary differences associated with investments insubsidiaries, associates and foreign branches wherethe timing of the reversal of the temporary differencecan be controlled and it is probable that the temporarydifference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assetsis reviewed at each reporting date and reduced tothe extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of thedeferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities aremeasured at the tax rates that are expected to applyin the period when the asset is realised or the liabilityis settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) thathave been enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date.
The Company offsets deferred income tax assetsand liabilities, where it has a legally enforceableright to offset current tax assets against current taxliabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the sametaxation authority on either the same taxable entity,or on different taxable entities where there is aright and an intention to settle the current taxliabilities and assets on a net basis or their taxassets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Basic earnings per share is computed usingthe weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period adjusted for treasuryshares held. Diluted earnings per share is computedusing the weighted-average number of equity anddilutive equivalent shares outstanding during theperiod, using the treasury stock method for options,except where the results would be anti-dilutive.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutiveequity shares are adjusted retrospectively for allperiods presented for any splits and bonus sharesissues including for change effected prior to the
approval of the standalone financial statements bythe Board of Directors.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,whereby profit for the period is adjusted for theeffects of transactions of a non-cash nature, anydeferrals or accruals of past or future operatingcash receipts or payments and item of income orexpenses associated with investing or financingcash flows. The cash generated from/(used in)operating, investing and financing activities of theCompany are segregated.
New Accounting standards, amendmentsand interpretations adopted by the Companyeffective from April 1, 2024:
On September 9, 2024, the Ministry of CorporateAffairs notified the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024.The amendments to Ind AS 116 clarifies therequirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuringthe lease liability arising in a sale and leasebacktransaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does notrecognize any amount of the gain or loss that relatesto the right of use it retains. The amendment isintended to improve the requirements for sale andleaseback transactions in Ind AS 116 and will notchange the accounting for leases unrelated to saleand leaseback transactions. These amendmentsare effective for annual reporting periods beginningon or after April 1, 2024, and are to be appliedretrospectively, with earlier application permitted.The adoption of these amendments to Ind AS 116did not have any material impact on the standalonefinancial statements.
New Accounting standards, amendmentsand interpretations not yet adopted by theCompany:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifiesnew standards or amendments to the existingstandards under Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules as issued from time to time.For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notnotified any new standards or amendments to theexisting standards applicable to the Company.
short-term needs. As at March 31, 2025, the Company has unutilized lines of credit aggregating H 26,435 and U.S.$ 102million. To utilize these unused lines of credit, the Company requires consent of the lender and compliance with certainfinancial covenants. Significant portion of these lines of credit are revolving credit facilities and floating rate loans,renewable on a periodic basis.
Borrowings from banks bear floating rates of interest, referenced to country specific official benchmark interest rates anda spread, determined based on market conditions.
Refer to Note 26 for interest expense on borrowings.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, short-term borrowings, leaseliabilities, trade payables, other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely dueto the short-term nature of these instruments. Finance lease receivables are periodically evaluated based on individualcredit worthiness of customers. Based on this evaluation, the Company records allowance for estimated credit losseson these receivables. As at March 31, 2025, and 2024 the carrying value of such financial assets, net of allowances, andliabilities approximates the fair value.
Investments in short-term mutual funds and fixed maturity plan mutual funds, which are classified as FVTPL aremeasured using net asset values at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held. Fair value of investments in non¬convertible debentures, government securities, commercial papers and bonds classified as FVTOCI is determined basedon the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market at the reporting date. Fair value of investments inequity instruments classified as FVTOCI or FVTPL is determined using market approach primarily based on marketmultiples method.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs including currencyspot and forward rates, yield curves and currency volatility.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have beendefined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets/liabilities, forecasted cash flowsdenominated in foreign currency and net investment in foreign operations. The company is also exposed to interestrate fluctuations on investments in floating rate financial assets and floating rate borrowings. The Company followsestablished risk management policies, including the use of derivatives to hedge foreign currency assets/liabilities,interest rates, foreign currency forecasted cash flows and net investment in foreign operations. The counter partiesin these derivative instruments are primarily banks and the Company considers the risks of non-performance by thecounterparty as immaterial.
The following table presents the aggregate contracted principal amounts of the Company's derivative contractsoutstanding:
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remainsunchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjustingeither the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratioused for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in the statement of profitand loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The following table summarises activity in the cash flow hedging reserve within equity related to all derivativeinstruments classified as cash flow hedges:(1) Includes net (gain)/loss reclassified to revenue of H 394 and H 898 for the years ended March 31,2025 and 2024, respectively; net (gain)/lossreclassified to employee benefits expense of H (51) and H 221 for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively and net (gain)/lossreclassified to other income of H 73 and H 64 for the years ended March 31,2025 and 2024, respectively.
The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserves as at March 31, 2025 are expected to occur andbe reclassified to the statement of profit and loss over a period of 17 months.
As at March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no gains or losses on derivative transactions or portions thereof that havebecome ineffective as hedges or associated with an underlying exposure that did not occur.
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company transfers accounts receivables, unbilled receivables,net investment in finance lease receivables (financial assets) to banks. Under the terms of the arrangements, theCompany either substantially transfers its risks and rewards or surrenders control over the financial assets and transfer iswithout recourse. Accordingly, on such transfers the financial assets are derecognized and considered as sale of financialassets. Gains and losses on sale of financial assets without recourse are recorded in finance costs, at the time of salebased on the carrying value of the financial assets and fair value of servicing liability. The incremental impact of suchtransactions on our cash flow and liquidity for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is not material.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from a change inthe price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interestrates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Marketrisk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments, foreign currency receivables,payables and loans and borrowings.
The Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investment and borrowing activities and revenue generatingactivities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company'searnings and equity to losses.
The Company manages market risk through a corporate treasury department, which evaluates and exercisesindependent control over the entire process of market risk management. The corporate treasury departmentrecommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by our senior management and Audit, Riskand Compliance Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementinghedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risklimits and policies.
The Company operates internationally, and a major portion of its business is transacted in several currencies.Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through receiving payment for sales and services in theUnited States and elsewhere and making purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The exchangerate risk primarily arises from foreign exchange revenue, receivables, cash balances, forecasted cash flows, payablesand foreign currency loans and borrowings. A significant portion of the Company's revenue is in the U.S. Dollars, PoundSterling, Euro, Australian Dollars and Canadian Dollars, while a large portion of costs are in Indian Rupees. The exchangerate between the Indian Rupee and these currencies has fluctuated significantly in recent years and may continue tofluctuate in the future. Appreciation of the Indian Rupee against these currencies can adversely affect the Company'sresults of operations.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters into foreign currencyderivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows established risk management policies, includingthe use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward/option contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated inforeign currency.
The Company has designated certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges to mitigate the foreign exchangeexposure of forecasted highly probable cash flows.
As at March 31, 2025, a H 1 increase in the spot exchange rate of the Indian Rupee with the U.S. Dollar would result inan approximately H 2,115 (including statement of profit and loss of H 537 and other comprehensive income of H 1,578)decrease in the fair value, and a H 1 decrease would result in an approximately H 2,134 (including statement of profitand loss of H 537 and other comprehensive income of H 1,597) increase in the fair value of foreign currency dollardenominated derivative instruments (forward and option contracts).
The below table presents foreign currency risk from non-derivative financial assets/(liabilities) as of March 31, 2025and 2024:
As at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, every 1% increase/decrease in the respective foreign currencies comparedto functional currency of the Company would increase/decrease our profit before taxes by approximately H 670 andH 776, respectively.
Interest rate risk primarily arises from floating rate borrowings, including various revolving and other lines of credit.
The Company's investments are primarily in short-term investments, which do not expose it to significant interestrate risk.
If interest rates were to increase by 100 bps as on March 31, 2025 additional net annual interest expense on floating rateborrowing would amount to approximately H 505. Certain borrowings are also transacted at fixed interest rates.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To managethis, the Company periodically assesses the credit rating and financial reliability of customers, considering thefinancial condition, current economic trends, forward-looking macroeconomic information, analysis of historical baddebts and ageing of accounts receivable. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable as atMarch 31,2025 and 2024, and revenues for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. There is no significant concentrationof credit risk.
Trade receivables and unbilled receivables are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicatorsthat there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a customer to engage in arepayment plan with the Company. Refer to Note 9 for changes in allowance for lifetime expected credit loss.
Counterparty risk encompasses issuer risk on marketable securities, settlement risk on derivative and money marketcontracts and credit risk on cash and time deposits. Issuer risk is minimised by only buying securities in India whichare at least AA rated by Indian rating agencies. Settlement and credit risk is reduced by the policy of entering intotransactions with counterparties that are usually banks or financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings.Exposure to these risks are closely monitored and maintained within predetermined parameters. There are limitson credit exposure to any financial institution. The limits are regularly assessed and determined based upon creditanalysis including financial statements and capital adequacy ratio reviews.
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits of H 24,763 and bank balances of H 12,693 held with four bankshaving high credit ratings, which are individually in excess of 10% or more of the Company's total cash and cashequivalents as at March 31,2025.
Investments include term deposits of H 30,108 and non-convertible debentures of H 24,399 held with a bank having highcredit rating, which is in excess of 10% or more of the Company's total investments, excluding investments in equityinstruments and redeemable preference shares of subsidiaries as at March 31, 2025.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at areasonable price. The Company's corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well assettlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position through rolling forecasts based on the expected cash flows.As at March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents are held with major banks and financial institutions.
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reportingdate. The amounts include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements, if any.
Deferred taxes on unrealised foreign exchange gain/loss relating to cash flow hedges, fair value movements ininvestments and remeasurements of the defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income andpresented within equity. Other than these, the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities is primarily recorded in thestatement of profit and loss.
In assessing the readability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the extent to which it is probable that thedeferred tax asset will be realised. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generationof future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become
deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable incomeand tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this, the Company believes that it is probable thatthe Company will realise the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of deferred tax asset consideredrealisable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of future taxable income during the carry¬forward period are reduced.
The Company has recognized deferred tax assets of H 112 and H 766 as at March 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily in respectof capital loss incurred on account of liquidation of an investment. Management's projections of future taxable capitalgain support the assumption that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to utilize this deferredtax asset.
We have calculated our domestic tax liability under normal provisions. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has beenrecognized towards MAT in the balance sheet for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The effective MAT rate is17.47%. The excess tax paid under MAT provisions over and above normal tax liability can be carried forward for a periodof fifteen years and set-off against future tax liabilities computed under normal tax provisions.
A substantial portion of the profits of the Company's India operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profitsattributable to export operations and profits from units established under Special Economic Zone Act, 2005 scheme.Units in designated special economic zones providing service on or after April 1, 2005 will be eligible for a deduction of 100percent of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from commencement of provision ofservices and 50 percent of such profits and gains for a further five years. 50% tax deduction is available for a further fiveyears subject to the unit meeting certain defined conditions. Profits from certain other undertakings are also eligible forpreferential tax treatment. New SEZ units set up on or after April 1, 2021 are not eligible for aforesaid deduction. The taxholiday period being currently available to the Company expires in various years through fiscal 2034-35. The impact of taxholidays has resulted in a decrease of current tax expense of H 11,798 and H 14,308 for the years ended March 31, 2025and 2024, respectively, compared to the effective tax amounts that we estimate the Company would have been requiredto pay if these incentives had not been available. The per equity share effect of these tax incentives for the years endedMarch 31, 2025 and 2024 is H 1.13 and H 1.35, respectively. Previous year per equity share effect have been proportionatelyadjusted for the bonus issue in ratio of 1:1. Refer to Note 29.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporarydifferences associated with U.S. branch profit tax where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference canbe controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Accordingly,deferred income tax liabilities on branch profit tax at 15% of the U.S. branch profits have not been recognized. Further,it is not practicable to estimate the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed earnings.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet beenrecognized, which includes contract liabilities and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenuein future periods. Applying the practical expedient, the Company has not disclosed its right to considerationfrom customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company'sperformance completed to date, which are contracts invoiced on time and material basis and volume based.
As at March 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate amount of the Transaction Price allocated to remainingperformance obligations, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria above, were H 223,220 and H 185,504,respectively, of which approximately 66% and 73%, respectively, is expected to be recognized as revenueswithin two years, and the remainder thereafter. This includes contracts, with a substantive enforceabletermination penalty if the contract is terminated without cause by the customer, based on an overall assessmentof the contract carried out at the time of inception. Historically, customers have not terminated contractswithout cause.
The tables below present disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by business segment andnature of contract. The Company believes that the below disaggregation best depicts the nature, amount,timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from economic factors.
The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company's benefit obligationsas at March 31, 2025.
Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed to show the movement in defined benefitobligation by 1 percentage.
As at March 31, 2025, every 1 percentage point increase/(decrease) in discount rate will result in (decrease)/increase of defined benefit obligation by approximately H (912) and H 1,013, respectively (March 31, 2024: H (853)and H 954, respectively).
As at March 31, 2025 every 1 percentage point increase/(decrease) in expected rate of salary will result inincrease/(decrease) of defined benefit obligation by approximately H 989 and H (934), respectively (March 31,2024: H 926 and H (868), respectively).
The sensitivity analysis to significant actuarial assumptions may not be representative of the actual changein the defined benefit obligations as the change in assumptions may not occur in isolation since some ofthe assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the sensitivity analysis, the present valueof the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end ofthe reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liabilityrecognized in the balance sheet.
For the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 1,294,623 and 128,916 options respectively, were excluded from dilutedweighted-average number of equity shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Earnings per share and number of shares outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2024, have been proportionatelyadjusted for the bonus issue in the ratio of 1:1 i.e. 1 (one) bonus equity share of I 2 each for every 1 (one) fully paid-upequity shares held (including ADS holders). Refer to Note 29.
The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian Rupees. According to the Companies Act, 2013 any dividend shouldbe declared out of accumulated distributable profits. A Company may, before the declaration of any dividend, transfer apercentage of its profits for that financial year as it may consider appropriate to the reserves.
