Key Audit Matter
How KAM was addressed in our audit
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s contracts with customers include contracts withmultiple products and services. The Company derives revenuesfrom IT services comprising software development and relatedservices, maintenance, consulting and package implementation,licensing of software products and platforms and businessprocess management services.
The Company assesses the services promised in a contractand identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract.Identification of distinct performance obligations to determinethe deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefitindependently from such deliverables involves significantjudgement.
In certain integrated services arrangements, contracts withcustomers include subcontractor services or third-party vendorequipment or software. In these types of arrangements, revenuefrom sales of third-party vendor products or services is recordednet of costs when the Company is acting as an agent betweenthe customer and the vendor, and gross when the Company isthe principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Company firstevaluates whether it controls the products or service before it istransferred to the customer. The Company considers whetherit has the primary obligation to fulfil the contract, inventory risk,pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether itcontrols the products or service and therefore, is acting as aprincipal or an agent.
Revenue from fixed price contracts, where the performanceobligations are satisfied over time, has been recognized using thepercentage of completion method and computed as per the inputmethod based on the Company’s estimate of contract costs.
Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progresstowards completion as there is a direct relationship betweeninput and productivity.
The application of Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts withCustomers” is complex and involves key judgements mainlyrelating to (1) identification of distinct performance obligations(2) determination of transaction price of the said identifiedperformance obligations (3) allocation of transaction price to thesaid performance obligations (4) basis for recognition of revenueover a period.
Refer Note 19 to the Standalone Financial Statements.
Our audit procedures on revenue recognised from contracts
included:
• Obtaining understanding of the systems and processesimplemented by the Company and testing the effectivenessof controls relating to recording and computing revenueand associated contract assets, unearned and deferredrevenue balances.
• Evaluated management’s ability to reasonably estimate theprogress towards satisfying the performance obligationby comparing actual efforts or costs incurred to prior yearestimates of efforts or costs budgeted for performanceobligations that have been fulfilled.
• Selection of random samples of continuing and newcontracts, and evaluated the identification of the distinctperformance obligations and determination of transactionprice. We performed procedures involving enquiry andobservation, verification of evidence in respect of operationof these controls.
• Assessed the IT environment in which the businesssystems operate and related information used in recordingand disclosing revenue in accordance with the saidInd AS. Efforts or costs expended have been used tomeasure progress towards completion as there is a directrelationship between input and productivity. The estimationof total efforts or costs involves significant judgement andis assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflectany changes based on the latest available information.
• Inspected underlying documents and performed analyticsto determine reasonableness of contract costs
Recognition and Measurement of Deferred Tax Asset
Please refer to Note 9 of the Standalone Financial Statements.The Company has recognised a net deferred tax asset of Rs.15.40 Crores as of March 31st, 2025. The recognition of deferredtax involves judgement regarding the likelihood of realisation ofthese assets, particularly whether there will be sufficient taxableprofits in future periods that will support the recognition of theseassets. Given the degree of judgement involved in consideringthese deferred tax assets as recoverable or otherwise, weconsider this to be a Key Audit Matter.
Our audit procedures involved gaining an understanding of the
applicable tax laws and relevant regulations applicable to the
Company.
Our audit procedures included:
• Evaluation of policies used for recognition andmeasurement of deferred tax assets in accordance withAS 22 Accounting for Taxes on Income;
• Assessment of the probability of the availability of profitsbased on assumptions and other parameters used by theManagement against which the Company will be able touse this deferred tax asset in the future, with reference toforecast as noted by the Audit Committee of the Board ofDirectors.
• Assessed the method for determining the Deferred TaxAsset with reference to applicable tax rates and testedthe arithmetical accuracy.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements doesnot cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
6. I n connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements orour knowledge obtained during the course of our audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information, if we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governance.
7. The Company’s management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these StandaloneFinancial Statements, in terms of the requirements of theAct, that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance, including other comprehensiveincome, change in equity and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection of the appropriate accounting software forensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulationsincluding those related to retention of audit logs; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theStandalone Financial Statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error.
8. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, theManagement and the Board of Directors are responsiblefor assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeingthe Company’s financial reporting process.
9. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone Financial Statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these StandaloneFinancial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls with referenceto Standalone Financial Statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the Managementand the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of theManagement’s and the Board of Director’s use of
the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditors’ report to the relateddisclosures in the Standalone Financial Statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the Standalone Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whether the StandaloneFinancial Statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisionsof a reasonably knowledgeable user of the StandaloneFinancial Statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the resultsof our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governancewith a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements of the current year and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
