(xi) Provisions and contingent liabilitiesProvisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects currentmarket assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase inthe provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
The Company has in its fleet aircraft on lease. As contractually agreed under the lease contracts (except for leases where theCompany has a right to purchase the aircraft and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that right at the commencementdate), the aircraft have to be redelivered to the lessors at the end of the lease term under stipulated contractual return conditions.The redelivery obligations are determined by management based on historical trends and data, and are recorded under 'provisionfor maintenance, redelivery and overhaul cost' at the present value of expected outflow, where effect of the time value of moneyis material with the corresponding value capitalised under 'Right of use assets'.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or a presentobligation that arises from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or theamount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow ofeconomic benefits is remote.
(xii) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers. Revenue towards satisfaction of aperformance obligation is measured at the transaction price that the Company receives or expects to receive as consideration forgoods supplied and services rendered, net of variable consideration (such as discounts etc.), amount collected on behalf of thirdparties, applicable taxes etc. Revenue from bundled contracts is recognised separately for each performance obligation based onstand-alone selling price. Revenue is recorded provided the recovery of consideration is probable and determinable.
Passenger services
Passenger revenue is recognised on flown basis i.e. when the service is rendered, net of variable consideration (such asdiscounts etc.), amount collected on behalf of third parties, applicable taxes and airport levies such as passenger service fee,user development fee, etc., if any. Fees charged for cancellation of flight tickets are recognised as revenue on rendering ofthe said service.
The Company considers whether it is a principal or agent in relation to services by considering whether it has a performanceobligation to provide services to the customer or whether the obligation is to arrange for services to be provided by a third party,such as another carrier or a third party.
The Company sells certain tickets with connecting flights with one or more segments operated by its other airline partners. Forsegments operated by its other airline partners, the Company has determined that every partner airline is responsible for theirportion of the contract (i.e. transportation of the passenger). The Company recognises revenue for the segment operated by theCompany at the selling price of the ticket net of the amount transferrable to the other airline partner. The amount transferrable tothe other airline partner for its segment is recognised as a financial liability.
Tickets sold by other airlines where the Company provides the transportation are recognised as passenger revenue at theestimated value to be billed to the other airline when the services are provided as per contract.
The consideration from sale of tickets not yet flown is credited to unearned revenue i.e. 'Forward Sales' disclosed under othercurrent liabilities. The unutilised balance in Forward Sales for more than an year is recognised as revenue based on historicalstatistics, data and management estimates and considering the Company's cancellation policy.
Consideration payable to customers, including vouchers and credits, is treated as a reduction of revenue unless exchanged fora distinct service received from the customer at fair value. Gesture of Care vouchers extended to severely impacted customersand compensation payable to affected customers as per applicable regulatory requirements are accounted for as considerationpayable to customers and reduced from Revenue from Operations, unless such items are material and non-recurring in nature, inwhich case they are presented as exceptional items in the Standalone Statement of Profit & Loss (Refer to Note 2 (xxiii) and 30).
Cargo services
Cargo revenue is recognised when service is rendered i.e. goods are transported, net of variable consideration (such as discountsetc.), amount collected on behalf of third parties, airport levies and applicable taxes.
In flight sales
Revenue from sale of merchandise and food and beverages is recognised on transfer of goods to passengers, net ofapplicable taxes.
Government grants
Grants including subsidies from the government are recognised where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will bereceived and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Interest income
Interest income on financial assets (including deposits with banks) is recognised using the effective interest method on a timeproportionate basis.
Claims and other credits - non-refundable
Claims relating to reimbursement towards operational expenses such as lease rentals, aircraft repair and maintenance, etc.,are adjusted against such expenses over the estimated period for which these reimbursements pertains. When credits are usedagainst purchase of goods and services such as lease rentals, aircraft repair and maintenance, etc, these are adjusted againstsuch expenses on utilization basis. The claims and credits are netted off against related expense arising on the same transactionas it reflects the substance of transaction. Further, any claim or credit not related to reimbursement towards operational expensesor used for purchase of goods and services are recognised as income in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss when acontractual entitlement exists, the amount can be reliably measured and receipt is virtually certain.
Customer Loyalty Programme
The Company operates a frequent flyer program called IndiGo BluChip (the ""programme"") where members can earn travel awardpoints through:
a. Flights with the Company or its partner airlines.
b. Spends on co-branded cards issued in partnership with credit card companies.
c. Consumption of goods or utilisation of services offered by other non-airline partners.
Points earned by members are considered as a separate performance obligation and recognised as deferred liability andpresented under "Other current liabilities". The amount recognised as a deferred liability is measured based on the fair valueof the awarded points. The fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed.When estimating the deferred liability towards the loyalty points, the Company considers the likelihood that the customers willredeem the points. The amount deferred is recognized as revenue on redemption of the points on a flown basis. Fees and otherincidental charges collected from partners associated with the programme is recognised under "Other Operating Revenue" byallocating them to the separately identifiable performance obligations.
The Company used to operate a rewards programme in partnership with credit card companies referred to as '6C Rewards', whichhas been migrated to IndiGo BluChip during the year. Under the erstwhile 6C Rewards programme, points were awarded tomembers on spending from the card as per the agreement. Revenue against the award points was recognised when redeemedby the members for travel with Company on flown basis. Unredeemed reward points as at the date of migration were migratedto IndiGo BluChip as per the agreed conversion ratio.
(xiii) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest (including interest on lease liabilities) and other ancillary costs that the Company incurs inconnection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset arecapitalised as part of the cost of the asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an assetthat necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised asan expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as anadjustment to the borrowing costs.
(xiv) Supplementary rentals and aircraft repair and maintenance
Under certain aircraft and engine lease arrangements, the Company recognises monthly supplementary rental expenses at thepresent value of the estimated contractual outflows, which are determined based on aircraft and engine utilisation, calculatedwith reference to the number of hours flown or cycles operated during the period. Accrual of Supplementary rentals are made forheavy maintenance visits, engine overhaul and landing gear overhaul for aircraft and engines taken on lease, except for leasedaircraft where the Company has a right to purchase the aircraft and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that right atthe commencement date or for certain short term aircraft lease arrangements.

Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payablein respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid. It ismeasured using tax rates enacted for the relevant reporting period.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts,and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis.
The Company periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulationsare subject to interpretation. The Company considers whether it is probable that a Taxation Authority or an Appellate Authority orCourt will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If the Company believes that it is probable that the Taxation Authority or AppellateAuthority or Court will accept an uncertain tax treatment, it determines its taxable income and tax bases consistently with the taxtreatment in its income tax filings.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financialreporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused taxlosses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will beavailable against which they can be used. Where the Company has a history of recent losses, deferred tax asset is recognisedonly to the extent that the Company has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing evidence that sufficienttaxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assetsunrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised. Significant management judgement is required todetermine the probability of deferred tax asset.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled,based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects,at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilitiesand assets levied by the same tax authorities.
(xvii) Earnings per share

19. Provisions (Contd..)
Provision for maintenance, redelivery and overhaul cost
The schedule of provision as required to be disclosed in compliance with Ind AS 37 on 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities andContingent Assets' is as under:
*It includes:
a. Provision for redelivery obligation: The Company has in its fleet, aircraft on lease. As contractually agreed under certainlease contracts, the aircraft have to be redelivered to the lessors at the end of the lease term under stipulated contractualreturn conditions. The redelivery obligations are determined by management based on historical trends and data, and arecapitalised at the present value of expected outflow, where effect of the time value of money is material.
b. Provision for overhaul expenses for certain aircraft held under lease are recorded at discounted value, where effect of thetime value of money is material.
c. Provision for engine maintenance which represents additional accrual, beyond supplementary rentals, for the estimatedfuture costs of engine maintenance checks. These accruals are based on past trends for costs incurred on such events, futureexpected utilisation of engine, condition of the engine and expected maintenance interval and are recorded over the periodof the next expected maintenance visit.
The measurement of the provision for redelivery and overhaul cost includes assumptions primarily relating to expected costs anddiscount rates commensurate with the expected obligation maturity schedules. An estimate is therefore made to ensure thatthe provision corresponds to the present value of the expected costs to be borne by the Company. Judgement is exercised bymanagement given the long-term nature of assumptions that go into the determination of the provision. The assumption made inrelation to the current year are consistent with those in the previous year.
€xpected timing of resulting outflow of economic benefit is financial year 2026-27 to 2035-36 (previous year 2025-26 to 2034¬35) and the Company calculates the provision using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method.
Sensitivity analysis for key assumptions used:
If expected cost differ by 10% from management's estimate, while holding all other assumptions constant, the provision formaintenance, redelivery and overhaul cost may increase / decrease by Rs. 3,951 (previous year by Rs. 3,458).
If expected discount rate differ by 1%, while holding all other assumptions constant, the provision for maintenance, redeliveryand overhaul cost may increase by Rs. 77 (previous year Rs. 126) or decrease by Rs. 69 (previous year by Rs. 119).
* Others includes liabilities towards compensation in accordance with the applicable regulations to the affected customers andGesture of Care travel vouchers to severely impacted customers.

Impact of New Labour Codes
effective 21 November 2025, The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unifiedframework comprising four Labour Codes (collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes'). These legislative changes haverevised the definition of wages for the purpose of computation of employee benefits and expanded the scope and eligibility ofcertain employee related social security benefits.
Based on a detailed assessment carried out by the Company, information available and consistent with the FAQs on keyaccounting implications arising from the New Labour Codes issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the Companyhad evaluated the incremental impact arising from the implementation of the New Labour Codes. Considering the materiality,regulatory-driven, and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has recognised an incremental impact of Rs. 11,393(consisting of gratuity and compensated absences) as an exceptional item in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company continues to monitor the developments, and clarifications from the Government pertaining to other aspects of theNew Labour Codes and would provide appropriate accounting effect on the basis of such developments, if required.
30. €xceptional items (Contd..)
Impact of operational disruptions
During the first week of December 2025, the Company experienced operational challenges that resulted in significant flightcancellations and delays between 3 December 2025 and 5 December 2025. These disruptions led to a material reduction inpassenger revenue during the affected period. To restore operations, the Company undertook measures to reboot its network &systems and reposition crews. These corrective actions subsequently enabled the Company to operate an increased number offlights with improved stability.
The Company, in accordance with the applicable regulation, is compensating the affected customers and in addition as a Gestureof Care also extending travel vouchers to the severely impacted customers. The estimated impact of these items, along with otherassociated costs amounting to Rs. 5,550 has been recognised as an exceptional item in the Standalone Statement of Profit andLoss. Revenue from operations under Ind AS 115, net of the exceptional item, for the year ended 31 March 2026 would havebeen Rs. 844,272.
Further, on 17 January 2026, the Company received an order from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) imposing apenalty of Rs. 222 in connection with the operational disruptions. The amount has been recognised as an exceptional item inthe Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
* Non-current investments excludes equity investment in subsidiaries which is carried at cost.
** The fair values for security deposits forming part of other financial assets were calculated based on discounted cash flowsusing a current lending rate.
***The fair values of supplementary rentals and aircraft maintenance are based on discounted cash flows using a currentborrowing rate.
Other financial assets and financial liabilities
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, current financial assets (excluding security deposits and derivatives not designatedas hedges), cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, trade payables, capital creditors,short-term borrowings (including interest accrued but not due) and unclaimed dividend approximates the fair values, due to theirshort-term nature.
Non-current financial assets (excluding security deposits) represents bank deposits (due for maturity after twelve months fromthe reporting date) and interest accrued but not due on financial instruments, the carrying value of which approximates the fairvalues as on the reporting date.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments include:
• the use of NAV for mutual funds
• the use of quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observablein the marketplace
• the use of quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date for derivatives not designated as hedges
• the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow method
Valuation processes
The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities requiredfor financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values.
b. Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk ;
• Liquidity risk ;
31. Fair value measurement and financial instruments (Contd..)
• Market Risk - Foreign currency ; and
• Market Risk - Interest rateRisk management framework
The Board of Directors of the Company has formed a Risk Management Committee to frame, implement and monitor the riskmanagement plan for the Company. The committee is responsible for reviewing the risk management policies and ensuringits effectiveness.
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company to set appropriaterisks, limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies are reviewed regularly to reflectchanges in market conditions and the Company's activities.
The Risk Management Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with Company's risk management policies andprocedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risk faced by the Company.
(i) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risks is represented by the total carrying amount of these financial assets in theStandalone Balance Sheet
Credit risk is the exposure to the Company to potential financial losses from the risk of default on contractual obligations by acustomer or counterparty, the risk of deterioration of credit-worthiness of the customer or counterparty, as well as concentrationrisks associated with financial assets.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits withfinancial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in debtbased mutual fund units, bonds, commercial paper and certificate of deposit with low risk. Other financial assets majorly includessecurity deposits which primarily represents deposits given as pre delivery payments to aircraft manufacturers. Such depositswill be returned to the Company on deliveries of the aircraft by the aircraft manufacturers as per the contract. The credit riskassociated with such security deposits is relatively low.
Trade receivables are generally unsecured and are derived from revenue earned (including applicable taxes and airport levies)from customers primarily located in India and certain parts of Middle East and South Asia. Trade receivables also includes credit/ debit card receivables of the Company which are realisable within a period of 1 to 7 working days.
The Company monitors the economic environment in which it operates to manage its credit risk. The Company manages its creditrisk through various measures including establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring credit worthiness of customersto whom it extends credit in the normal course of business. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (eitherpartially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Companydetermines that the receivables do not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay theamount due. Where the financial asset has been written-off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attemptto recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company sells majority of its air transportation services against advances made by agents / customers and throughonline channels.
The Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provision matrix to computethe expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available internal credit riskfactors such as the Company's historical experience for customers. Based on the business environment in which the Companyoperates, management considers that the trade receivables (other than receivables from government departments) are in default(credit impaired) if the payments are more than 90 days past due, however, the Company based upon past trends determine animpairment allowance for loss on receivables outstanding for more than 180 days past due.
Majority of trade receivables are from domestic customers, which are fragmented and are not concentrated to individualcustomers. Trade receivables as at year end primarily includes Rs. 4,151 (previous year Rs. 5,486) relating to revenue generatedfrom passenger services and Rs. 2,190 (previous year Rs. 1,999) relating to revenue generated from cargo services.
* The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 90 days are still collectible in full, basedon historical payment behaviour.
# The Company based upon past trends determine an impairment allowance for loss on receivables outstanding for more than 180days past due. Receivables more than 180 days past due primarily comprises receivables from government departments, whichare fully realisable based on historical payment behaviour and hence, no loss allowance has been recognised, and from agentsfor which the impairment allowance has already been recognised on specific credit risk factor.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financialliabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial assets. The Company's approach to manage liquidity is to havesufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed circumstances, without incurringunacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company believes that its liquidity position, comprising of total cash, bank deposits and investments (including amountsunder lien) of Rs. 510,550 as at 31 March 2026 (previous year Rs. 479,500), anticipated future internally generated fundsfrom operations, and its fully available, revolving undrawn fund and non fund based credit facilities will enable it to meet itsfuture known obligations in the ordinary course of business. As of 31 March 2026, the Company had received revolving fundbased credit line sanctions amounting to Rs. 44,126 (previous year Rs. 56,697), of which the Company has drawn Rs. 18,063(previous year Rs. 18,000) and has undrawn revolving fund based credit facilities of Rs. 26,063 (previous year Rs. 38,697).
Additionally, the Company also has undrawn non fund based credit facilities amounting to Rs. 89,821 (previous year Rs. 64,895).The Company does not believe a significant liquidity risk exist with regard to its current lease liabilities as the assets aresufficient to meet those obligations. In addition to this, the Company has unencumbered assets as well as access to adequatefinancing arrangements. Hence, in case a liquidity need were to arise, the Company believes it has sufficient means to meet itsongoing capital, operating, and other liquidity requirements. The Company will continue to consider various borrowing or leasingoptions to maximize liquidity and supplement cash requirements as necessary.
The Company's liquidity management process as monitored by management, includes the following:
• Day to day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met.
• Maintaining rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows.
• Maintaining diversified credit lines.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The contractual cash flowamounts are gross and undiscounted, and includes interest accrued but not due on borrowings.
Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.Market risk comprises two types of risks namely: currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management isto manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
A. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interestrates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily relates to certain bank deposits andcertain lease liabilities carrying floating rate of interest.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Company's interest rate risk arises from certain bank deposits and certain lease liabilities carrying floating rate of interest.These deposits and obligations expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposure of the Company to interest ratechanges as reported to the management at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
Currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchangerates. The Company is exposed to the effects of fluctuation in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financialposition and cash flows. Exposure arises primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations between the functional currency and othercurrencies from the Company's operating, investing and financing activities.
Exposure to foreign currency risk
The summary of quantitative data about the Company's exposure to currency risk, as expressed in Indian Rupees, as at 31 March2026 and 31 March 2025 are as below:
Sensitivity analysis
A reasonably possible strengthening / (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against below currencies as at 31 March 2026 and31 March 2025 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and affectedStandalone Statement of Profit and Loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is performed on foreign currency denominatedmonetary financial assets and financial liabilities outstanding as at the year end. This analysis assumes that all other variables,in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

* The sensitivity analysis to foreign currency risk includes an exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations on long term foreigncurrency loans that have been capitalised in the cost of the related right of use assets. 1% depreciation / appreciation in IndianRupees against USD, affects the adjustment to right of use assets by Rs. 5 (previous year Rs. 27). It is expected to impact theStandalone Statement of Profit and Loss over the remaining life of the right of use assets as an adjustment to depreciation charge.
32. Capital management
The primary objective of the management of the Company's capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and equity inorder to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financial flexibility to pursue businessopportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows.
Capital comprises total equity (equity share capital and other equity) and debt comprises working capital borrowings andlease liabilities. The Company considers lease liabilities as part of debt for internal leverage monitoring because aircraft leasesrepresent a significant long-term financing commitment and are integral to fleet capacity planning and funding decisions. TheCompany is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Board of directors regularly review the Company's capital structure in light of the economic conditions, business strategiesand future commitments. The Board's overall strategy remains unchanged from previous year.
33. Contingent liabilities
(a) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt:
The Company is a party to various taxation disputes and legal claims, which are not acknowledged as debts. Significantmanagement judgement is required to ascertain that it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the taxation disputes and legal claims.
(i) Income tax
The income tax authority has assessed the return of income of the Company up to Assessment Year ("AY") 2022-23 and hasrevised the taxable income for certain years on account of disallowance of certain expenses and in respect of the tax treatmentof certain incentives received from the manufacturer in respect of acquisition of aircraft and engines. The Company has not yetreceived assessment order for subsequent years.
The Company has received favourable orders against such disallowances / additions from the Special Bench of Income TaxAppellate Tribunal ("ITAT") for AY 2012-13 and Divisional Bench of ITAT for certain years till AY 2015-16. However, the income taxauthority's appeals against these orders are pending before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi.
The Company believes, based on legal advice from counsels, that the view taken by ITAT Special Bench and Divisional Bench issustainable in higher courts and accordingly, no provision is required to be recorded in the books of account.
The tax exposure (excluding interest and penalty) for matters disallowed by income tax authorities up to AY 2022-23 i.e. the lastyear assessed, amounts to Rs. 24,185 in case the incentives are held to be taxable. The above amount is net of Rs. 5,332, whichrepresents minimum alternate tax recoverable written off in the earlier years. Further, the above tax exposure will also impactcarried forward losses having a tax effect of Rs. 18,227.
(ii) The Company is in legal proceedings for various disputed legal matters related to Customs, Octroi, Service Tax, Integrated Goodsand Services Tax ('IGST') and Value Added Tax ('VAT'). The amounts involved in these proceedings, not acknowledged as debt, are:
(1) Service Tax- Rs. 55 (previous year Rs. 55),
(2) Value Added Tax - Rs. 31 (previous year Rs. 31),
(3) Octroi - Rs. 74 (previous year Rs. 74) and
(4) IGST on re-imports* - Rs. 22,028 (previous year Rs. 18,958).
The Company believes, based on advice from counsels/experts, that the views taken by authorities are not sustainable andaccordingly, no provision is required to be recorded in the books of account.
*During the current year, the Company has paid Integrated Goods and Services Tax ("IGST") amounting to Rs. 3,070 (previousyear Rs. 3,290) under protest, on re-import of repaired aircraft, aircraft engines and certain aircraft parts, to Customs authoritiesand therefore as at 31 March 2026, cumulative amount paid under protest is Rs. 22,028 (previous year Rs. 18,958), againstwhich appeals have been filed or to be filed before the appellate authorities.
With respect to IGST paid on imports prior to 19 July 2021, the Company received three favourable orders from Customs €xciseand Service Tax Appellate Tribunal ("C€STAT"), New Delhi, which were appealed by the Customs authorities before the Hon'bleSupreme Court of India. The Hon'ble Supreme Court dismissed one of the departmental appeals on 14 July 2025, and subsequentlydismissed department's review petition on 17 February 2026. The remaining two departmental appeals are pending before theHon'ble Supreme Court and no stay has been granted on C€STAT orders.
Further, the Government vide Notification dated 19 July 2021 ("Amendment Notification") amended earlier Customs exemptionNotification to reiterate their position that IGST is applicable on re-import of goods after repair. The Company had filed a WritPetition before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi challenging the constitutional validity of the Amendment Notification. In the monthof March 2025, Hon'ble High Court of Delhi pronounced its order, holding that repair and re-import transaction is a supply ofservice and levy of IGST at the time of re-import of items repaired abroad is unconstitutional and invalid. On 29 August 2025,department has filed an appeal against the said order before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, which is pending. No stay has beengranted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on such appeal till date.
Based on favourable orders from Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and High Court of Delhi and advice received from the legalcounsels, the Company continues to believe that, IGST is still not payable on such re-import of repaired aircraft, aircraft enginesand certain aircraft parts. Accordingly, the above amounts paid under protest till 31 March 2026 have been shown as recoverable.
(iii) The Competition Commission of India ("CCI") passed an order dated 17 November 2015 against, inter alia, the Company, imposinga penalty of Rs. 637 on the Company on account of cartelization for determination of fuel surcharge included in the componentof Cargo services. The Company filed an appeal against this order before the Competition Appellate Tribunal and it referred thematter back to the CCI for fresh adjudication. CCI passed a final order dated 07 March 2018 reducing the penalty amount on theCompany to Rs. 95. The Company has filed an appeal before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ("NCLAT") againstthe order imposing penalty which is currently pending. The penalty imposed by CCI on the Company was stayed by NCLAT upondeposit of Rs. 9 (previous year Rs. 9) (10% of the penalty amount).
The Company based on legal advice from the external counsel, believes that the views taken by authorities are challengeableand accordingly, no provision is required to be recorded in the books of account at this stage.
(iv) There may be certain withholding tax obligation that may arise in the future in respect of past transactions. Basis the management'sevaluation considering the facts, the management believes that further outflow is not probable.
(v) There are ongoing tax litigations for AY 2022-23, AY 2023-24 and AY 2024-25 relating to taxability of lease rentals earned bynon-resident aircraft lessors, the potential exposure from which may, based on contractual arrangements, be passed on to theCompany. The lessors have, thus far, received favourable orders from Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ("ITAT") for AY 2022-23.However, the income tax authority's appeal against some of these orders is pending before the Hon'ble High Courts. The Companybelieves that the position upheld by the ITAT is likely to be sustained at higher judicial forums and accordingly, no provision hasbeen recognised, as an outflow is not considered probable. The Company continues to monitor developments in the matter.
Further, the lessors had received reassessment notices for AY 2012-13 to AY 2018-19. The lessors have challenged the assumptionof jurisdiction for such notices by filing writ petitions before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court. The lessors have not received anydemand notices in such cases in view of the interim stay granted by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.
(vi) In February 2019, Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in its judgement clarified the applicability of allowances that should be consideredto measure obligations under Employees Provident Fund Act, 1952. There are interpretative challenges on the application ofjudgement retrospectively and as such the Company does not consider that there is any probable obligations for past periods.Accordingly, based on evaluation the Company has made a provision for provident fund contribution on prospective basis.
(vii) Legal cases
As per the notification dated 1 January 2016, The Payment of Bonus (Amendment) Act, 2015 is applicable retrospectively w.e.f 1April 2014. In view of the partial stay granted by Karnataka and Kerala High Court, the impact of this amendment for the period1 April 2014 till 31 March 2015 amounting to Rs. 19 has not been acknowledged as debt.
(viii) Following the significant flight cancellations and delays between 3 December 2025 and 5 December 2025 (Refer Note 30), asdirected by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Company has furnished bank guarantees amounting to Rs. 500for implementation of certain systematic reforms in accordance with the order. The bank guarantee is subject to phased releaselinked to satisfactory outcome of the reforms by the Company.
Further, during the year ended 31 March 2026, Competition Commission of India vide it's order dated 4 February 2026, based onprima facie alleged violation of imposition of unfair conditions and limiting or restriction of provision of services by the Company,directed its Director General to undertake an investigation of the Company's domestic operations, following a passengerinformation relating to flight cancellations during December 2025. Based on management's assessment, no provision is requiredto be recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss, as the outcome of the matter is awaited as on date.
The Company remains committed to regulatory compliance, continues to monitor developments and will assess any furtherimpact if needed.
(ix) Other legal proceedings for which the Company is contingently liable
The Company is party to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and does not expect the outcome ofthese proceedings to have any adverse effect on the standalone financial statements and hence, no provision has been set-upagainst the same.
Notes:
Pending resolution of the respective proceedings, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows,if any, in respect of the above as it is determinable only on receipt of judgements or decisions pending with various forums orauthorities. Accordingly, the above mentioned contingent liabilities are disclosed at undiscounted amount.
(b) Guarantees:
Corporate guarantees amounting to Rs. 13,452 (outstanding as of 31 March 2026 Rs. 13,396) (previous year Nil) have beenissued by the Company on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary for certain aircraft under lease amounting to Rs. 10,840(previous year Nil).
35. €mployee benefits
The Company contributes to the following post-employment benefit plans.
Defined contribution plan
The Company pays provident fund contributions to the appropriate government authorities at rate specified as per regulations.
An amount of Rs. 1,842 (previous year Rs. 1,599) has been recognised as an expense in respect of the Company's contributionto Provident Fund and the same has been deposited with the relevant authorities. It has been shown under employee benefitsexpense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Defined benefit plan
The Company operates gratuity plan wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to 15 days of total wages lastdrawn for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months. Vesting occurs upon completion of contractualperiod of continuous years of service as defined in the Code on Social Security, 2020. Gratuity is payable to all eligible employeesof the Company on retirement, separation, death or permanent disablement, in terms of the provisions of the Code on SocialSecurity Act, 2020 which subsumed the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 w.e.f. 21 November 2025.
*Cffective 21 November 2025, The Government of India has consolidated multiple existing labour legislations into a unifiedframework comprising four Labour Codes (collectively referred to as the 'New Labour Codes'). These legislative changes haverevised the definition of wages for the purpose of computation of employee benefits and expanded the scope and eligibility ofcertain employee related social security benefits.
Based on a detailed assessment carried out by the Company, information available and consistent with the FAQs on keyaccounting implications arising from the New Labour Codes issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the Companyhad evaluated the incremental impact arising from the implementation of the New Labour Codes. Considering the materiality,regulatory-driven, and non-recurring nature of this impact, the Company has recognised an incremental impact of Rs. 11,894 fordefined benefit obligation as an exceptional item in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in above assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. The changesin some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significantactuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit creditmethod at the end of the reporting year) has been applied, as has been applied when calculating the provision for definedbenefit plan recognised in the Standalone Balance Sheet.
The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous years.Risk exposure:
The defined benefit plan is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Change in discount rates: A decrease in discount yield will increase plan liabilities.
Salary growth risk: An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liabilities.
Mortality table: The gratuity plan obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increase in life expectancy willresult in an increase in plan liabilities.
