Notes:

a) The company has the following reportable segments:

i) IT Services: The IT Services segment provides IT and IT enabled services to customers. Key service offering includes software application development, application maintenance, research and development services for hardware and software design, data center outsourcing services and business process outsourcing services.

ii) IT Products: The IT Products segment sells a range of Wipro personal desktop computers, Wipro servers and Wipro notebooks. The Company is also a value added reseller of desktops, servers, notebooks, storage products, networking solutions and packaged software for leading international brands. In certain total outsourcing contracts of the IT Services segment, the Company delivers hardware, software products and other related deliverables. Revenue relating to these items is reported as revenue from the sale of IT Products.

iii) Consumer Care and Lighting: The Consumer Care and Lighting segment manufactures, distributes and sells personal care products, baby care products, lighting products and hydrogenated cooking oils in the Indian and Asian markets.

iv) The Others’ segment consists of business segments that do not meet the requirements individually for a reportable segment as defined in IFRS 8.

v) Corporate activities such as treasury, legal and accounting, which do not qualify as operating segments under IFRS 8, and elimination of inter-segment transactions have been considered as ‘reconciling items’.

b) Revenues include excise duty of 334, 328 and 256 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 respectively and 1,205 for the year ended March 31, 2012. For the purpose of segment reporting, the segment revenues are net of excise duty. Excise duty is reported in reconciling items.

c) For the purpose of segment reporting, the Company has included the impact of ‘foreign exchange gains / (losses)’, net in revenues (which are reported as a part of operating profit in the statement of income).

d) For evaluating performance of the individual business segments, stock compensation expense is allocated on the basis of straight line amortization. The incremental impact of accelerated amortization of stock compensation expense over stock compensation expense allocated to the individual business segments is reported in reconciling items.

e) For evaluating the performance of the individual business segments, amortization of intangibles acquired through business combinations are reported in reconciling items.

f) For evaluating the performance of the individual business segments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries are reported in reconciling items.

g) The Company generally offers multi-year payment terms in certain total outsourcing contracts. These payment terms primarily relate to IT hardware, software and certain transformation services in outsourcing contracts. Corporate treasury provides internal financing to the business units offering multi-year payments terms. Accordingly, such receivables are reflected in capital employed in reconciling items. As of June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, capital employed in reconciling items includes 13,101, 13,562 and 13,544, respectively, of such receivables on extended collection terms. The finance income on deferred consideration earned under these contracts is included in the revenue of the respective segment and is eliminated under reconciling items.

h) Operating income of segments is after recognition of stock compensation expense arising from the grant of options:

Segments		Three months ended												Year ended
		June 30, 2012				March 31, 2012				June 30, 2011				March 31, 2012

Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide disclosure of geographical location wise assets, since the meaningful segregation of the available information is onerous.
