A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of whicha reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are determined based on the best estimate of the amount required tosettle the obligation at the reporting date. If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discountedusing a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. These estimates are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or apresent obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required tosettle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannotbe recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed infinancial statements.
Employees Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share based payment transactions,whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments granted (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value of the options at the date of the grant andrecognised as employee compensation cost over the vesting period. The cumulative expense recognised forequity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vestingperiod has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expectedto vest best on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revisions to theoriginal estimates, if any, in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The expense or credit recognised in the statement of profit and loss for the period represents the movement incumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefitsexpense with a corresponding increase in stock options outstanding reserve in equity. In case of the employeestock option schemes having a graded vesting schedule, each vesting tranche having different vesting period hasbeen considered as a separate option grant and accounted for accordingly.
Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is theexpense as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expenseis recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction or isotherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
The employee stock option expenses in respect of the employees of the subsidiary are charged to therespective subsidiary.
r. Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity share capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of newordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interimdividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to recognised for all business combinations, when the acquiredset of activities and assets meet the definition of business and control is transferred regardless of whether equityinstruments or other assets are acquired. The acquisition cost is measured as the aggregate of the considerationtransferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, withlimited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognises anynon-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at thenon-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the:
• Consideration transferred;
• Amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, and
• Acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired business over the fair value of thenet identifiable assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of thenet identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised in other comprehensive incomeand accumulated in equity as capital reserve provided there is clear evidence of the underlying reasons forclassifying the business combination as a bargain purchase. In other cases, the bargain purchase is recogniseddirectly in equity as capital reserve.
Business combinations between entities under common control is accounted for using pooling of interest method.The identity of the reserves is preserved as they appear in the standalone financial statements of the Companyin the same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the acquired entity. The difference, ifany, between the consideration and the amount of share capital of the acquired entity is transferred to businesstransfer reserve.
Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisition in excess of the Company’s interest in the net fair value ofidentifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the net fair value of the identifiableassets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of business acquisition, a gain is recognisedin the other comprehensive income as gain on bargain purchase. Subsequent to initial recognition, Goodwill ismeasured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose ofimpairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each ofthe Company’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whetherother assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequentlywhen there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit isless than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwillallocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each assetin the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised forgoodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposedof, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation whendetermining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on therelative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in whichthe combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accountingis incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted through goodwill during the measurement period, oradditional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstancesthat existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date. Theseadjustments are called as measurement period adjustments. The measurement period does not exceed one yearfrom the acquisition date.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects oftransactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or paymentsand item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating,investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. The Company considers all highly liquidinvestments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents..
The Company’s objective for capital management is to maximise shareholder value, safeguard business continuity andsupport the growth of the Company. The Company determines the capital requirement based on annual operating plans andlongterm and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, borrowings and operatingcash flows generated. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on January 20, 2024, recommended the sub-division/ split of 1(One) fully paid-up equity share having a face value of ?10 each into 2 (Two) fully paid-up equity shares having a face value of? 5 each by alteration of capital clause of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) subject to the approval of Members of theCompany. The Members of the Company approved the sub-division / Split of 1 (One) fully paid up equity share of ? 10 eachinto 2 (Two) fully paid up equity shares of ? 5 each through a postal ballot with a requisite majority and the voting results weredeclared on March 11, 2024.
Further, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on March 13, 2024, approved the Record Date for Split / Sub-division ofEquity Shares as April 1, 2024.
Consequent to this, the authorised share capital comprises 400 Million equity shares having a face value of ? 5 eachaggregating to ? 2,000 Million, and the paid-up capital comprises 154.05 Million equity shares having a face value of ? 5each aggregating to ? 770.25 Million. The impact of this has been considered in the financial statement.
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of ?5 per share. Each holder of equity shares isentitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. The dividend proposed by theBoard of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors of Persistent Systems Limited, at its meeting held on January 22, 2025, declared an interimdividend of ? 20 per equity share of face value of ? 5 each for the Financial Year 2024-25.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets ofthe Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equityshares held by the shareholders. However, no such prefrential amounts exist currently.
The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion andother relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligations are discount rate and increasein compensation levels. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of therespective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Every percentage point increase / decrease in discount rate will change the gratuity benefit obligation to approximately? 1,638.21 Million / ? 2,069.91 Million (previous year: ? 1,427.69 Million / ? 1,809.91 million) respectively.
Every percentage point increase / decrease in rate of increase in compensation levels will change the gratuity benefit obligation toapproximately ? 1,999.38 Million / ? 1,696.70 Million (previous year: ? 1,740.00 Million / ? 1,485.70 million) respectively.
Sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumptions namely Discount rate and Salary assumptions have been shownin the table above at the end of the reporting period, showing how the defined benefit obligation would have been affectedby the changes.
The Mortality and Attrition does not have a significant impact on the Liability, hence are not considered a significant actuarialassumption for the purpose of Sensitivity analysis.
The assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis isDiscount rate at 1% and -1%
Salary assumption at 1 % and -1%
The method used to calculate the liability in these scenarios is by keeping all the other parameters and the data same as in thebase liability calculation except the parameters to be stressed.
There is no change in the method from the previous period and the points /percentage by which the assumptions arestressed are same to that in the previous year.
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fairvalue of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discountrate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discountrate during the inter-valuation period.
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. The discountrate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the planbenefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate / government bonds and hence the valuationof liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
The impact of longevity risk will depend on whether the benefits are paid before retirement age or after. Typically for thebenefits paid on or before the retirement age, the longevity risk is not very material.
The Company contributed ? 89.39 Million and ? 89.42 Million to superannuation fund during the years ended March31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively and the same is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss under the heademployee benefit expenses.
Company has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund for employees @ 12% of Basicsalary as per regulation. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. Theobligation of the company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructiveobligation. The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan (provident fund) is ? 1,418.48 Million(Previous year ? 1,383.67 million).
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are eitherobservable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs are 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 are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or inpart using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current markettransactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. In respect of equity instruments of unlistedcompanies, in limited circumstances, insufficient more recent information is available to measure fair value, or if there area wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range. TheCompany recognises such equity instruments at cost, which is considered as appropriate estimate of fair value.
i) The fair value of the quoted bonds and mutual funds are based on price quotations at reporting date.
ii) Mark to market on forward covers and embedded derivative instruments is based on forward exchange rates at the end ofreporting period and discounted using G-sec rate plus applicable spread.
iii) For equity instruments of unlisted companies, in limited circumstances, insufficient more recent information is availableto measure fair value, or if there are a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the bestestimate of fair value within that range. The Company recognises such equity instruments at cost, which is considered asappropriate estimate of fair value.
iv) The fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of subsidiaries/ business unit is estimated using
a present value technique. The ? 228.11 Million fair value is estimated by probability-weighting the estimated future cashoutflows adjusting for risk and discounting at incremental borrowing rate for unsecured liabilities at the reporting date.
The probability-weighted cash outflows before discounting are ? 292.40 Million and reflect management’s estimate ofa 90% probability that the contract’s target level will be achieved. The effects on the fair value of risk and uncertainty inthe future cash flows are dealt with by adjusting the estimated cash flows rather than adjusting the discount rate.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’sfocus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financialperformance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financialinstruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by theCompany’s policies approved by the Board of Directors which provide written principles on foreign exchange hedging. TheCompany’s exposure to credit risk is mainly for receivables that are overdue for more than 90 days. The Credit Task Force isresponsible for credit risk management. Investment of excess liquidity is governed by the Investment policy of the Company.The Company’s Risk Management Committee monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures
The Company operates globally with its operations spread across various geographies and consequently the Company isexposed to foreign exchange risk. Around 70% to 90% of the Company’s foreign currency exposure is in USD. The Companyholds plain vanilla forward contracts against expected receivables in USD to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates.
The following table analyses unhedged foreign currency risk from financial instruments as of March 31, 2025.
For the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchangerate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies on foreign currency exposure would affect the Company’s profit beforetax margin (PBT) by approximately 0.21% and 0.31% respectively.
Sensitivity analysis is computed based on the changes in the income and expenses in foreign currency upon conversion intofunctional currency, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the previous reporting period and the current reporting period.
The Company holds derivative foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreigncurrency exposures. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active marketsor inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. The Company has designated foreign exchange forwardcontracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast sales transactions.
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposureto the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to ? 17,030.88 Million and ? 17,090.40Million as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derivedfrom revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States. Credit risk is managed by the Company by CreditTask Force through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the recovery status of customersto which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, theCompany uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provisioning policy approvedby the Board of Directors to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The policy takes into accountavailable external and internal credit risk factors and the Company’s historical experience for customers.
Credit risk is perceived mainly in case of receivables overdue for more than 90 days. The following table gives details of riskconcentration in respect of percentage of receivables overdue for more than 90 days:
