WIPRO LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

( in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. The Company overview

Wipro Limited (“Wipro” or the “Parent Company”), together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts (collectively, “the Company” or the “Group”) is a global information technology (IT), consulting and business process services (BPS) company.

Wipro is a public limited Company incorporated and domiciled in India. The address of its registered office is Wipro Limited, Doddakannelli, Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru – 560 035, Karnataka, India. Wipro has its primary listing with BSE Ltd. (Bombay Stock Exchange) and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The Company’s American Depository Shares representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors onApril 15, 2020.

2. Basis of preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(i) Statement of compliance and basis of preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and its interpretations (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understand the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2019. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements correspond to the classification provisions contained in IAS 1 (revised), “Presentation of Financial Statements”. For clarity, various items are aggregated in the statements of income and statements of financial position. These items are disaggregated separately in the notes, where applicable. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements except for the adoption of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective as at April 1, 2019.

All amounts included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in millions of Indian rupees ( in millions) except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following material items which have been measured at fair value as required by relevant IFRS:

 

  a.

Derivative financial instruments;

 

  b.

Financial instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss;

 

  c.

The defined benefit asset/ (liability) recognized as the present value of defined benefit obligation less fair value of plan assets; and

 

  d.

Contingent consideration.

(iii) Convenience translation (unaudited)

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and reported in Indian rupees, the functional currency of the Parent Company. Solely for the convenience of the readers, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months and year ended March 31, 2020, have been translated into United States dollars at the certified foreign exchange rate of US$1 =  75.39 as published by Federal Reserve Board of Governors on March 31, 2020. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into United States dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Due to rounding off, the translated numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals.

(iv) Use of estimates and judgment

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

8


Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are included in the following notes:

 

  a)

Revenue recognition: The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or services promised to a customer are capable of being distinct, and are distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised product or services are combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation deliverables based on their relative stand-alone selling price. In cases where the Company is unable to determine the stand-alone selling price the company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the stand-alone selling price. The Company uses the percentage of completion method using the input (cost expended) method to measure progress towards completion in respect of fixed price contracts. Percentage of completion method accounting relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labor costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, revenue recognized, profit and timing of revenue for remaining performance obligations are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable. Volume discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue. When the amount of discount varies with the levels of revenue, volume discount is recorded based on estimate of future revenue from the customer.

 

  b)

Impairment testing: Goodwill and intangible assets with infinite useful life recognized on business combination are tested for impairment at least annually and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit to which these pertain is less than the carrying value. The Company assesses acquired intangible assets with finite useful life for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost of disposal. The calculation of value in use of a cash generating unit involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions.

 

  c)

Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company are India and the United States of America. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.

 

  d)

Deferred taxes: Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

 

  e)

Business combination: In accounting for business combinations, judgment is required in identifying whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets (including useful life estimates) and liabilities acquired, and contingent consideration assumed involves management judgment. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Changes in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions can materially affect the results of operations.

 

  f)

Defined benefit plans and compensated absences: The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligations are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

 

  g)

Expected credit losses on financial assets: The impairment provisions of financial assets and contract assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history of collections, customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

 

9


  h)

Measurement of fair value of non-marketable equity investments: These instruments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Fair value of investments is determined using the market and income approaches. The market approach includes the use of financial metrics and ratios of comparable companies, such as revenue, earnings, comparable performance multiples, recent financial rounds and the level of marketability of the investments. The selection of comparable companies requires management judgment and is based on a number of factors, including comparable company sizes, growth rates, and development stages. The income approach includes the use of discounted cash flow model, which requires significant estimates regarding the investees’ revenue, costs, and discount rates based on the risk profile of comparable companies. Estimates of revenue and costs are developed using available historical and forecast data.

 

  i)

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived based on an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The life is based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually.

 

  j)

Useful lives of intangible assets: The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life is estimated based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the assets. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually.

 

  k)

Leases: IFRS 16 defines a lease term as the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset including optional periods, when an entity is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise the option when determining the lease term. The option to extend the lease term are included in the lease term, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option. The Company reassess the option when significant events or changes in circumstances occur that are within the control of the lessee.

 

  l)

Other estimates: The share-based compensation expense is determined based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. Fair valuation of derivative hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges involves significant estimates relating to the occurrence of forecast transaction.

Estimation uncertainty relating to the global health pandemic on COVID-19

In assessing the recoverability of receivables including unbilled receivables, contract assets and contract costs, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain investments, the Company has considered internal and external information up to the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements including credit reports and economic forecasts. The Company has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets. The impact of the global health pandemic may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions

3. Significant accounting policies

Please refer to the Company’s Annual report for the year ended March 31, 2019, for a discussion of the Company’s other critical accounting policies except for the adoption of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective as at April 1, 2019.

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases. Accordingly, the policy for Leases as presented in the Company’s Annual Report is amended as under:

IFRS 16 – Leases

The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under IFRS 16.

The Company as a lessee

The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves–

(a)    the use of an identified asset,

(b)    the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and

(c)    the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

 

10


The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term) and low-value assets.

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets.

The Company applies IAS 36 to determine whether a RoU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the impairment of non-financial assets included as part of our annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.

For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.

The Company recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in consolidated statement of income.

For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease payments have been classified as cash used in Financing activities.

The Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Contracts in which all the risks and rewards of the lease are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Leases, for which the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head-lease and sub-lease as two separate contracts. The sub-lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease by reference to the RoU asset arising from the head-lease.

New Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company effective from April 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 - Leases

On April 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRS 16, Leases, applied to all lease contracts outstanding as at April 1, 2019 using modified retrospective method by recording the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company has made use of the following practical expedient available on transition to IFRS 16, (a) not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease, accordingly the definition of lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC-4 will continue to be applied to those leases entered or modified before April 1, 2019. (b) The Company has applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment, consequently, the Company has recorded the lease liability at the present value of remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application and the right to use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease but discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application (c) excluded the initial direct costs from measurement of the RoU asset (d) Not to recognize RoU assets and lease liabilities for leases with less than twelve months of lease term and low-value assets on the date of initial application.

The weighted average of discount rate applied to lease liabilities as at April 1, 2019 is 5.7%.

On adoption of IFRS 16,

 

  a)

The Company has recognized right-of use assets of  13,630 and corresponding lease liability 15,379.

 

  b)

Net carrying value of assets procured under the finance lease of  1,243 (gross carrying and accumulated depreciation value 3,420 and  2,177 respectively) have been reclassified from Property Plant and Equipment to right- of-use assets.

 

  c)

Obligations under Finance leases  2,002 (non-current and current obligation under finance leases  496 and  1,506 respectively) have been reclassified to lease liabilities.

 

  d)

Prepaid rent on leasehold land and other assets, which were earlier classified under Other assets have been reclassified to right-of-use assets by  2,222.

The adoption of the new standard has resulted in a reduction of  872 in opening retained earnings, net of tax.

 

11


The Company recognized during the year in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income, depreciation expense from right-of-use assets  5,911 and interest expenses on lease liabilities  914.

Lease payments during the year have been disclosed under financing activities in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash flows.

The comparatives as at and for the year ended March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively restated.

The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have any material impact on Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of income and earnings per share.

The difference between the lease obligation disclosed as of March 31, 2019 under IAS 17 (Refer Note 29 of the 2019 Annual Report) and the value of the lease liabilities as of April 1, 2019 is primarily on account of practical expedients exercised for low value assets and short term leases, inclusion of extension and termination options reasonably certain to be exercised, in measuring the lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16 and discounting the lease liabilities to the present value under IFRS 16.

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax treatments

The International Accounting Standards Board clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The interpretation is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12. The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not have any material impact on consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Amendment to IAS 19 - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The International Accounting Standard Board has issued amendments to IAS 19, ‘Employee Benefits’, in connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements requiring an entity to determine the current service costs and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement using the assumptions used for the remeasurement; and determine the net interest for the remaining period based on the remeasured net defined benefit liability or asset. The adoption of amendment to IAS 19 did not have any material impact on consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Amendment to IAS 12 – Income Taxes    

The International Accounting Standard Board had issued amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes. The amendments clarify that an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognized according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits were recognized. The adoption of amendment to IAS 12 did not have any impact on consolidated financial statements of the Company.

New accounting standards not yet adopted:

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for annual periods beginning after April 1, 2019 and have not been applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that could have potential impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company are:

Amendment to IFRS 3 - Business combination

On October 22, 2018, the International Accounting Standard Board has issued amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Business Combinations’, in connection with clarification of business definition, which help in determining whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amendment added a test that makes it easier to conclude that a Company has acquired a group of assets, rather than a business, if the value of the assets acquired is substantially all concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with early application permitted. The adoption of amendment to IFRS 3 is not expected to have any impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

As at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, there were no significant gains or losses on derivative transactions or portions thereof that have become ineffective as hedges or associated with an underlying exposure that did not occur.

18. Fair value:

Financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances and eligible current and non-current assets, long and short-term loans and borrowings, lease liability, bank overdrafts, trade payable, eligible current liabilities and non-current liabilities.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, borrowings, trade payables, other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt has been contracted at market rates of interest. Accordingly, the carrying value of such long-term debt approximates fair value. Further, finance lease receivables that are overdue are periodically evaluated based on credit worthiness of customers. Based on this evaluation, the Company records allowance for estimated losses on these receivables. As at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the carrying value of such receivables, net of allowances approximates the fair value.

Investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds, which are classified as FVTPL are measured using net asset values at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held. Fair value of investments in commercial papers, certificate of deposits and bonds classified as FVTOCI is determined based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market at the reporting date. Fair value of investments in equity instruments classified as FVTOCI is determined using market and income approaches.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined 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, either directly (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).

The following table presents fair value of hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the level 2 financial instruments included in the above table.

Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): The Company enters derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, primarily banks with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black Scholes models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying. As at March 31, 2020, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

Investment in commercial papers, certificate of deposits and bonds: Fair value of these instruments is derived based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market as at reporting date.

26. Earnings per share:

A reconciliation of profit for the period and equity shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share is set out below:

Basic: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period, excluding equity shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.

Diluted: Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period for assumed conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Employee share options are dilutive potential equity shares for the Company.

The calculation is performed in respect of share options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market price of the Company’s shares during the period). The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

Other operating income

Year ended March 31, 2019

Sale of hosted data center services business: During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had concluded the divestment of its hosted data center services business.

The calculation of the gain on sale is shown below:

 

Particulars

   Total  

Cash considerations (net of disposal costs 660)

   25,432  

Less: Carrying amount of net assets disposed (including goodwill of 13,009)

     (26,455

Add: Reclassification of exchange difference on foreign currency translation

     4,131  
  

 

 

 

Gain on sale

   3,108  
  

 

 

 

In accordance with the sale agreement, total cash consideration was  28,124 and the Company paid  3,766 to subscribe for units issued by the buyer. Units amounting to  2,032 are callable by the buyer if certain business targets committed by the Company are not met over a period of three years. The fair value of these callable units was estimated to be insignificant as at March 31, 2019. Consequently, the sale consideration accounted of  24,358 and units amounting to  1,734 issued by the buyer.

Loss of control in subsidiary: During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had reduced its equity holding from 74% to 11% in Wipro Airport IT Services Limited. The loss/ gain on this transaction is insignificant.

Sale of Workday and Cornerstone OnDemand business: During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company has concluded the Sale of Workday and Cornerstone OnDemand business except in Portugal, France and Sweden.

The calculation of the gain is as shown below:

Assets pertaining to Portugal, France and Sweden are classified as Assets held for sale  240 as at March 31, 2019, which was concluded on May 31, 2019. These disposal groups do not constitute a major component of the Company and hence were not classified as discontinued operations.

Year ended March 31, 2020

Capital commitments: As at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 the Company had committed to spend approximately  12,443 and  14,011 respectively, under agreements to purchase/ construct property and equipment. These amounts are net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases.

 

22


Guarantees: As at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, performance and financial guarantees provided by banks on behalf of the Company to the Indian Government, customers and certain other agencies amount to approximately  18,456 and  18,655 respectively, as part of the bank line of credit.

Contingencies and lawsuits: The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims (including tax assessment orders/ penalty notices) which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Some of the claims involve complex issues and it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of such proceedings. However, the resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The significant of such matters are discussed below.

In March 2004, the Company received a tax demand for year ended March 31, 2001 arising primarily on account of denial of deduction under section 10A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Act) in respect of profit earned by the Company’s undertaking in Software Technology Park at Bengaluru. The same issue was repeated in the successive assessments for the years ended March 31, 2002 to March 31, 2011 and the aggregate demand is  47,583 (including interest of  13,832). The appeals filed against the said demand before the Appellate authorities have been allowed in favor of the Company by the second appellate authority for the years up to March 31, 2008. Further appeals have been filed by the Income tax authorities before the Hon’ble High Court. The Hon’ble High Court has heard and disposed-off majority of the issues in favor of the Company up to years ended March 31, 2004. Department has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court of India for the year ended March 31, 2001 to March 31, 2004.

On similar issues for years up to March 31, 2000, the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka has upheld the claim of the Company under section 10A of the Act. For the year ended March 31, 2009, the appeals are pending before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT). For years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) allowed the claim of the Company under section 10A of the Act. The Income tax authorities have filed an appeal before the ITAT.

For year ended March 31, 2013, the Company received the final assessment order in November 2017 with a demand of  3,286 (including interest of  1,166), arising primarily on account of section 10AA issues with respect to exclusion from Export Turnover. The Company has filed an appeal before Hon’ble ITAT, Bengaluru within the prescribed timelines.

For year ended March 31, 2014, the Company received the final assessment order in September 2018 with a demand of  1,030 (including Nil interest), arising primarily on account of transfer pricing issues. The Company has filed an appeal before the Hon’ble ITAT, Bengaluru within the prescribed timelines.

For year ended March 31, 2015, the Company received the Final assessment order in October 2019 with an estimated demand of  1,347 (including Nil interest), arising primarily on account of Capitalization of wages. The Company has filed an appeal before the Hon’ble ITAT, Bengaluru within the prescribed timelines.

For year ended March 31, 2016, the Company received the Draft assessment order in December 2019 with an estimated demand of  704 (including Nil interest), arising primarily on account of Capitalization of wages. The Company has filed the objections before the Dispute Resolution Panel (Bengaluru) within the prescribed timelines.

For year ended March 31, 2007 to year ending March 31, 2012, the company has received tax demand of  227 (Including  102 interest) for non-deduction of tax at source on some payments. Company has already deposited the demand under protest. The Company received order issued by Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Bengaluru rejecting company’s appeal. The Company has filed an appeal against the said order with the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka within the prescribed timelines. Company is already having a favorable order on this issue from the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka for earlier year.

Income tax demands against the Company amounting to  66,441 and  77,873 are not acknowledged as debt as at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. These matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities and the management expects its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The contingent liability in respect of disputed demands for excise duty, custom duty, sales tax and other matters amounts to  8,477 and  8,033 as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. However, the resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

30. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, through a ruling in February 2019, provided interpretation on the components of Salary on which the Company and its employees are to contribute towards Provident Fund under the Employee’s Provident Fund Act. Based on the current evaluation, the Company believes it is not probable that certain components of Salary paid by the Company will be subject to contribution towards Provident Fund due to the Supreme Court order. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.

Substantially related to operations in the United States of America.

No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the revenues during the three months and year ended March 31, 2019 and 2020.

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.

Notes:

 

  a)

“Reconciling items” includes elimination of inter-segment transactions and other corporate activities.

 

  b)

Revenue from sale of traded cloud-based licenses is reported as part of IT Services revenues.

 

  c)

For the purpose of segment reporting, the Company has included the impact of “foreign exchange gains / (losses), net” in revenues (which is reported as a part of operating profit in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income).

 

  d)

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

 

  e)

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. 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.

 

  f)

Other Operating income of  1,546 and  395 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 respectively and  4,344 and  1,144 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 respectively. Refer Note 28
