I GOT GARBAGE
Mindtree built a technology platform I Got Garbage to bring together
businesses, government organizations and social entrepreneurs to
transform the loosely organized Indian rag picking community into
organized waste management service providers. Today, 21 NGOs work with
7,000 waste collectors to provide a more ecient and structured waste
management system.
This unique, innovative waste management supply chain improves the
working conditions of rag pickers, protecting them from exposure to
hazardous chemicals and infectious diseases. Now, instead of scavenging for
recyclables on garbage heaps, people can collect waste directly from
residential and business sources. The approach increases the overall
eciency of recyclable recovery, creates a more stable, safer work
environment for thousands of people and helps cities manage waste better.
I Got Garbage is a cloud based technology platform to disseminate
information on waste segregation, oer assistance in system training,
on-boarding and technical support and engage all stakeholders in
upcoming programs.

CFOs message
Dear Shareholder,
FY 2013-14 oered tremendous opportunities for an
emerging star like Mindtree though there have been periods
of turbulence in our industry. Even in a volatile
environment, we had several satisfying milestones to report
as we partnered with our clients on their transformational IT
initiatives. In the year gone by, we have further sharpened
our strategic focus and since we saw strong medium term
opportunities, we made the investments necessary to drive
higher than industry growth over the next few years.
Highlights for FY 2013-14
We crossed half a billion dollar revenue mark. Our market
capitalization touched a billion dollars. We delivered strong
ROCE and for the second year, our net margin growth was
much higher than our revenue growth. We received
international recognition for corporate governance. Our
strong nancials and prudent nancial management allow
us to capitalize on the momentum we see in our business.
Unleashing Possibilities
Executive messages
Our priorities for FY 2014-15
We will continue to focus on growth through
disciplined investments and resource allocation and
by eciently managing the varied and complex risks
that we face, running a global business in a highly
dynamic environment.
Corporate governance
We believe long-term success is founded on strong
governance. It is through good governance that we
can deliver sustainable value to our various
stakeholders. Such governance practices create trust
between the Company and its stakeholders. The
framework we have laid for ethical practices is a key
part of our values and strategy for the future they
are indeed the very soul of your Company. We not
only partner with our clients on their strategic IT
programs, but also with the communities in which we
operate to help societies ourish. The values we
espouse are not only statements, but are embedded
within the nancial and operational controls and
review mechanisms that we have put in place within
the Company. All these eorts are, in a small way,
validated by the recognitions we have received in
India and internationally, for corporate governance
practices.
Outlook for FY 2014-15
When we engage with our clients, we hear a mixed
response optimism about their own outlook for
their business which drives them to work with us on
strategic IT initiatives but also concern about the
economic and geo-political uncertainties facing the
world today. This makes us optimistic without being
complacent about our growth for FY 2014-15.

Sustainability framework
Our sustainability framework focuses on three
themes: people, planet and prot. It is designed to
promote transparency, accountability, sound
environmental practices and social responsibility.
Stakeholder engagement
Our goal is to become a globally admired
organization and earn the respect of all our
stakeholders - Mindtree Minds and their families,
customers, partners, suppliers, vendors, shareholders,
communities, government and regulatory bodies.
Engaging with our stakeholders is an integral
component of an expertise led organization. We
determine material aspects through a rigorous
brainstorming process involving key stakeholders
within the organization. This, we believe, will provide
us with valuable insights and will catalyze
continuous improvement. The feedback received
through the process of stakeholder engagement is a
crucial input into our strategy setting process and
denes our actions in the future.

viewed as critical components for our long-term success.
We firmly believe that the links between our financial performance and our ability to attract and retain top talent are strong and it is not possible to
isolate these two spheres of our business. This belief guides and influences a wide range of People Function programs and initiatives across
Mindtree. During 2013-2014, we continued to make progress with our people strategy, which we have set in motion to enhance our performance
and set us apart in critical areas.

Income
FY14 has been a momentous year for Mindtree. We crossed the significant milestone of half a billion mark (in $) in revenues. Revenue for the
year in $ terms grew by 15.1% to $501.5 million. This is mainly attributable to the progress in our effort to increase our strategic relevance to
our clients. Some of the key interventions that have yielded positive results are:
m Our client mining initiatives continue to yield good results. Our top 10 clients have grown at 19%, faster than Mindtrees average.Our $ 20 million
clients increased from 5 to 6, $ 10 million clients increased from 9 to 13 and $ 5 million clients increased from 20 to 24.
m Our recent wins have been multi-million dollar and multi-year wins. Our initiative of having separate teams for hunting and farming is improving
our ability to get better quality deals. Our revenues from new logos has increased from 3.6% in FY13 to 4.1% in FY14. We have invested
significantly in our front end sales teams towards this initiative.
m Our positioning as multi-segment specialists is progressing well, resulting in an all-round performance from most verticals and service lines. Our
revenue from Infrastructure Management and Tech Support grew by 52.2%, followed by Maintenance revenue which grew by 21.5% in the
current year. Among the verticals, Manufacturing, CPG and Retail grew by 30.1%, followed by BFSI and Travel & Transport which grew by 18.4%
and 16.2% respectively.
m From a mix perspective, growth has been driven by onsite revenue (growth of 27.4%) as compared to a growth of 7.2% in offshore revenues. The
increase in onsite traction is due to the nature of client engagements, which are critical in nature and which requires near shore delivery. Our
presence through a delivery center in Gainesville, Florida is also showing good traction in terms of our near shore delivery.
m From a geography perspective, America and Rest of the World have grown significantly by 17.4% and 37.9% respectively.

compared to last year.
On an overall level, other expenses have grown by 42.8% as compared to last year mainly due to increases in travel expenses, sub-contractor
charges and legal and professional charges which have increased by 56.8%, 63.3% and 55% respectively.
Profitability and Margins
!
We crossed a significant milestone of $100 million in operating margins/ EBITDA. EBITDA margins have dropped marginally from 20.6% to
20.1% in the current year. The decrease is primarily attributable to:
!
! Offset by a decrease in employee benefits expenses by 1.6%, as explained above in the employee benefits expense and other expenses
paragraphs.
!
Our effective tax rate has increased from 20% in the previous year to 22% in the current year. This is mainly because of increase in surcharge
from 5% to 10% in the current year.
PAT has increased from 14.4% to 14.9% in the current year mainly due to foreign exchange gain of ` 120 million in the current year as compared
to a loss of ` 340 million in the previous year.
Segmental Reporting
Effective April 1, 2013, the Group has restructured its organisational and management structure and its internal financial reporting structure to be
better aligned to market needs. Pursuant to such re-organization, the Group has identified Manufacturing, BFSI, Hitech, Travel and Transportation
and Others as its reportable business segments. Accordingly, as required by the Accounting Standards(AS), comparatives have been restated and
presented in line with the current segments.
The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and
expenditure in individual segments.
Income and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the
remainder of costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Certain expenses are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the
underlying services are used interchangeably. The Group therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such
expenses and accordingly such expenses are separately disclosed as unallocable and directly charged against total income.
The assets of the Group are used interchangeably between segments, and the management believes that it is currently not practical to provide
segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation is not possible.

5. People focus and high performance culture
Our biggest strength is our people, we call ourselves Mindtree Minds. As at march 31, 2014 we have 12,926 Mindtree Minds. We ensure that we
offer the best workplace to our minds where they can perform to the best of their abilities. Our initiatives in the field of performance

initiatives like Mindtree Pillars program which has been carried out through Fy14.
Company recognizes the fact that leadership is a critical component of its organizational strategy. Hence it is focused on developing leadership
across organizational levels and helps leaders to transition seamlessly from one level to another. In FY14, we continued to provide a
comprehensive suite of leadership programs to all levels of career transitions. It included executive coaching, 360 degree feedback, one to one
mentoring and specialized classroom training tailored to new or experienced leaders.
63
With about 58% of our revenues from the U.S.A., any restrictions
on outsourcing services and visas by the U.S. affects our
business.
PRICING PRESSURES
In a highly competitive environment we may face margin
pressures.
Such pressures may be due to customers having tough
expectations on pricing or due to tactical movements on the part
of our competitors to gain market share.
COMPETITION
Mindtree risks losing business to larger players in the industry
or emerging challengers.
We primarily face competition from Indian as well as
international companies and captive offshore centers. Given the
dynamics of our industry, Mindtree faces the risks of
competitors coming up with new offerings to challenge our
market share and growth. In addition, there may be challenges
posed by different business models offered by competitors.
64
Given our track record with our top customers, we are confident
of continued mutually beneficial association. To further enhance
our business relationships, we have made significant
investments in developing connections at different levels with
our key clients.
We have also implemented the concept of executive
sponsorship for large accounts to ensure appropriate oversight
and support to account management teams from executive
management.
OPERATIONS RISK
Operations risk refers to risks integral to business operations.
Operations risk includes fraud, security breaches, business
continuity, quality and similar risks which may impact the
reputation and business performance of Mindtree.
65
COMPLIANCE RISKS
Adherence to laws, regulations and local statutes across the
globe is a challenge to any IT company today.
Every country has its own law with respect to immigration,
travel, visa, social security, privacy and data protection etc.
which needs a detailed assessment and compliance. There is a
risk of non compliance in the geographies which we operate
in.

4. Risk Treatment: Treatment plans for the identified risks are drawn up based on the type of risks. Risk treatment can be classified into the
following buckets:
Mitigate - Reduce the risk by taking adequate mitigation plans and coming up with adequate control mechanisms.
Transfer - Transferring the risks arising out of the activity to a third party vendor/insurer/outsourcer/ specialists, who will accept the risk in a
cost effective manner.
Tolerate - If the risks undertaken by Mindtree are within the tolerable limits set by the company, risks may be accepted provided reasons for
acceptance are documented and the risk is accepted at the right level of management.
Terminate - The activity, project, proposal, etc. is too risky and hence not worth pursuing.
Exploit - Is a risk response technique for positive risks or opportunities. This strategy involves making sure that appropriate risks are taken
to ensure the opportunity is fully exploited and benefits realized by the organization.
Risk treatment may also introduce secondary risks which shall be assessed, treated, monitored and reviewed.
5. Monitoring and Reporting
Owners are identified for the mitigation plans and progress on the risk treatment plans is reviewed. Dashboards, heat maps and trend lines are
created which enable key stakeholders to monitor the status of identified critical risks.
Risks shall be reported externally/internally as appropriate. Based on reviews, decisions shall be made on how the risk management framework,
policy and plan can be improved. These decisions shall lead to continual improvements in the organizations risk management, and risk
management culture.
The year in review
In 2013-14, we further heightened our focus on ERM. The emphasis for the year has been on implementing the Mindtree ERM framework and
enhancing the governance around risk management. In addition, several initiatives have been taken to develop risk management awareness at
all levels of the organization.
In 2013-14, the Mindtree ERM framework has been given a formal shape by publishing an Enterprise Risk Management Charter which has been
presented to the Audit Committee of the Board. The Charter outlines the principles, key responsibilities and reporting requirements for risk
management within Mindtree. In addition, the ERM approach has also been documented.
These documents allow us to demonstrate the maturity of our risk management
processes by laying down a uniform risk rating methodology across different risk areas by
BoD
taking into account financial, reputational, people and market impact of risk events.
To ensure appropriate functioning of the ERM framework, we have prepared an elaborate
governance mechanism through a Responsibility-Accountability-Consulted-Informed
(RACI) matrix which ensures appropriate oversight of the risk management program and
also provides for granular risk ownership and treatment. An ERM Council consisting of the
CEO, COO, CFO, Head of Strategy and the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) has been created as the
owner of the Mindtree risk management program.
At an implementation level, 2013-14 has seen progress on multiple fronts. Significant
effort has been invested in creating an Enterprise Risk Register. Risks to Mindtree have
been categorized and rated. Existing risk controls and risk treatment measures
implemented/ proposed have also been identified. The risk register provides our
management a consolidated view of the risks being faced by Mindtree and potential
impact.
ERM COUNCIL
Additionally, the following planned initiatives were implemented during the year:
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) prepared detailed risk notes on the FY
13-14 Business Plan to ensure we took full advantage of
opportunities identified as part of the strategic risk assessment and
also effectively treated potential risks identified.

A risk rating model to assess contractual risk exposure has also been put in place to evaluate risks in the contracts with our top customers.
This has helped us assess contractual risks proactively.
A credit risk mechanism has been developed to evaluate credit worthiness of potential customers before contracting business. The credit
evaluation system allows us to adjust credit and payment terms appropriately during contract negotiation and even avoid business where
the risks are greater than potential rewards.
Scenario planning and contingency planning exercises have been conducted for specific high risk events.
A comprehensive risk awareness program has been launched across the enterprise. The program uses different mechanisms to target
different audiences ranging from business/ enabling function leaders to Mindtree Minds who have joined us fresh from campus. Multiple
channels including blogs, executive email communications, comic strips, LCD displays, infographics and interactive sessions have been
used to communicate risk awareness to Mindtree Minds. These initiatives are complemented by an ERM portal which is hosted on our
intranet and can be accessed by all Mindtree Minds. Very positive feedback has been received to each of these initiatives across the
organization.

Risk advisories have been circulated to Business Teams and Enabling Functions to brief them on emerging risk events such as regulatory
changes and geo-political situations which have potential to impact business.
Major initiatives have been undertaken in the areas of Business Continuity Management (BCM) and process mapping. These initiatives have
significantly reduced the risks from these areas.
The Audit Committee of the Mindtree Board have been briefed on the ERM program and the major risks being faced by Mindtree.
Looking forward:
2014-15 promises to be an exciting year for business and risk management will correspondingly play an important role. Along with continuing
and enhancing existing risk management programs, the following initiatives have been planned:
1. Treatment plans for significantly high and high risks identified in the enterprise risk register shall continue to be monitored closely to
ensure risks are managed appropriately. These include the risks discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis section. Risks in
other categories shall also be tracked to ensure any increases in potential impact are addressed before they escalate into issues.
2.
In 2013-14 we engaged a leading international risk consulting firm to evaluate the maturity of our ERM program and suggest a road map
benchmarked to industry best practices. This exercise was completed in February 2014 and the recommendations received shall be
implemented in the 2014-15 time frame.
3.
Develop a model where critical risks in the organization, to the extent possible, are quantified. This will help us have a sense of the value of
the risks we are carrying at any given point in time.
4.
While initial discussions have happened with business teams and risk templates have been developed, tighter integration of risk
management with business unit strategy has been planned.
5.
Roll out risk management across the organization to ensure different groups implement consistent risk management processes.
6.
Ensure significant risks are incorporated into audit plans and audited for assurance.

2.
Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition (including directly attributable costs such as freight, installation, etc.) or construction less
accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets, which necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalised.
2.3.2
Acquired intangible assets are capitalised at the acquisition price. Internally generated intangible assets are recorded at cost that can
be measured reliably during the development phase and when it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the
assets will flow to the Company.
2.3.3
Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such
assets are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease,
whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.3.4
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets, outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under capital advances.
The cost of the fixed asset not ready for its intended use on such date, is disclosed under capital work-in- progress.
2.3.5
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method. The rates specified under schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 are
considered as minimum rates. If the managements estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset
or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is
provided at a higher rate based on the managements estimate of the useful life/ remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, the
management has estimated the useful life as under:
Asset classification
Useful life
Buildings
25-30 years
Computer systems
1-3 years
Computer software
2 years
Test equipment
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Electrical installations
3-5 years
Office equipment
4-5 years
Motor vehicles
4-5 years
Plant and machinery
4 years
Intellectual property
5 years
2.3.6
Fixed assets individually costing Rupees five thousand or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase/ installation.
Depreciation on additions and disposals during the year is provided on a pro-rata basis.
2.3.7
The cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of the lease. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired on finance lease are
amortised over the lease term or useful life, whichever is lower.
2.4 Investments
76
2.4.1
Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific
identification basis.
2.4.2
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is carried out separately
in respect of each investment.
2.4.3
Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of investment,
determined individually for each investment.
Gratuity is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary. The Company has an employees gratuity fund managed by ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, SBI Life
Insurance Company and Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gains and losses are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
2.7.2
Compensated absences are a long-term employee benefit and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date,
carried out by an independent actuary. The Company accrues for the expected cost of short-term compensated absences in the period
in which the employee renders services.
2.7.3
Contributions payable to the recognised provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of
profit and loss.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from software services. Revenue from software development on time-and-material
basis is recognised as the related services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised using the proportionate
completion method, which is determined by relating the actual project cost of work performed to date to the estimated total project
cost for each contract. Unbilled revenue represents cost and earnings in excess of billings while unearned revenue represents the
billing in excess of cost and earnings. Provision for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which
such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.
2.8.2
Provision for discounts is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with contractual terms of agreements with customers.
Revenues are stated net of discount.
Maintenance revenue is recognised ratably over the period of the maintenance contract.
2.8.3
2.8.4
Interest income is recognised using the time proportion method, based on the transactional interest rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency transactions including foreign currency revenues, receivables and borrowings. With
a view to minimize the volatility arising from fluctuations in currency rates, the Company enters into foreign exchange forward
contracts and other derivative instruments.
2.9.2
Foreign exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions.
Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognised in the statement of profit and
loss for the year.
2.9.3
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing
exchange rates on that date; the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary
items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction.
2.9.4
In respect of integral operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the
balance sheet. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. The items in the statement of profit and loss are translated at
the rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. The differences arising out of the translation are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
2.9.5
Forward exchange contracts and other similar instruments that are not in respect of forecasted transactions are accounted for using
the guidance in Accounting Standard (AS) 11, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. For such forward exchange contracts
and other similar instruments covered by AS 11, based on the nature and purpose of the contract, either the contracts are recorded
based on the forward rate/ fair value at the reporting date, or based on the spot exchange rate on the reporting date. For contracts
recorded at the spot exchange rates, the premium or discount at the inception is amortized as income or expense over the life of the
contract.
2.9.6
For forward exchange contracts and other derivatives that are not covered by AS 11 and that relate to a firm commitment or highly
probable forecasted transactions, the Company has adopted Accounting Standard ('AS') 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to the extent that the adoption did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Company Law and other regulatory requirements. In accordance with AS 30, such derivative financial
instruments, which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and where the Company has met all the conditions of cash flow hedge
accounting, are fair valued at balance sheet date and the resultant exchange loss/ gain is debited/ credited to the hedge reserve until
the transaction is completed. Other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange
loss/ gain is debited/ credited to statement of profit and loss.
2.10 Warranties
Warranty costs (i.e. post contract support services) are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience.
Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the period of recognition of revenue.
2.11 Provision and contingent liabilities
The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible
77
obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a
present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the
economic benefits expected to be received under it are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
2.12 Taxation
The current income tax charge is determined in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to the Company. Deferred tax charge or
credit are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to timing difference that result between the profit offered for income taxes
and the profit as per the financial statements. Deferred tax in respect of timing difference which originate during the tax holiday period but
reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the year in which the timing difference originate. For this purpose the timing differences
which originate first are considered to reverse first. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are
recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised
only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, when there is a brought forward loss or
unabsorbed depreciation under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/
virtually certain to be realised.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against
future income tax liability, is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet if there is a convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax
after the tax holiday period and the resultant assets can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a
period of ten years from the period in which such credit is availed.
The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends
to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
2.13 Earnings per share
In determining earnings per share, the Company considers the net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any extra-ordinary item.
The number of equity shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.14 Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset (including goodwill) may be impaired. If any
such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent
cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the
asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is
reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the
balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does
not exceed the net book value that would have been determined, if no impairment loss had been recognised. In respect of goodwill,
impairment loss will be reversed only when it is caused by specific external events and their effects have been reversed by subsequent
external events.
2.15 Employee Stock based Compensation
The Company measures the compensation cost relating to employee stock options, restricted shares and stock appreciation rights using the
intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is amortised over the vesting/ service period.
2.16Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that:
(I) the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them; and
(ii) the grant will be received.
Government grants related to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and loss over the periods
necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. Such grants are deducted in reporting the related
expense. Where the Company receives non-monetary grants, the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisition cost. In case a nonmonetary asset is given free of cost it is recognised at a nominal value.

amounting to ` 60 due to non-adjustment of brought forward losses and transfer pricing adjustments. Management believes that the
position taken by it on the matter is tenable and hence, no adjustment has been made to the financial statements. The Company will file an
appeal with Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) once the final order is received.

3.14Segmental reporting
Effective April 1, 2013, the Company has restructured its organisational and management structure and its internal financial reporting structure
to be better aligned to market needs. Pursuant to such re-organization, the Company has identified Manufacturing, BFSI, Hitech, Travel and
Transport and Others as its reportable business segments. Accordingly, as required by the accounting standards, comparatives have
been restated and presented in line with the current segments.
The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and
expenditure in individual segments.
Income and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the
remainder of costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Certain expenses are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the
underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to
such expenses and accordingly such expenses are separately disclosed as unallocable and directly charged against total income.
The assets of the Company are used interchangeably between segments, and the management believes that it is currently not practical to
provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation is not possible.

Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition (including directly attributable costs such as freight, installation, etc.) or construction less
accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets, which necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalised.
2.4.2
Acquired intangible assets are capitalised at the acquisition price. Internally generated intangible assets are recorded at cost that can
be measured reliably during the development phase and when it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the
assets will flow to the Group.
2.4.3
Leases under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such
assets are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever
is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
2.4.4
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets, outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under capital advances.
The cost of the fixed asset not ready for its intended use on such date, is disclosed under capital work-in- progress.
2.4.5
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method. The rates specified under schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 are
considered as minimum rates. If the managements estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset
or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is
provided at a higher rate based on the managements estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, the
management has estimated the useful life as under:

2.4.6
Fixed assets individually costing Rupees five thousand or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase/ installation.
Depreciation on additions and disposals during the year is provided on a pro-rata basis.
2.4.7
The cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of the lease. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired on finance lease are
amortised over the lease term or useful life, whichever is lower.
2.5 Investments
2.5.1
Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific
identification basis.
2.5.2
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is carried out separately
in respect of each investment.
2.5.3
Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of investment,
determined individually for each investment.
Gratuity is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary. The Group has an employees gratuity fund managed by ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, SBI Life
Insurance Company and Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gains and losses are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
2.8.2
Compensated absences are a long-term employee benefit and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date,
carried out by an independent actuary. The Group accrues for the expected cost of short-term compensated absences in the period in
which the employee renders services.
2.8.3
Contributions payable to the recognised provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of
profit and loss.
The Group derives its revenues primarily from software services. Revenue from software development on time-and-material basis is
recognised as the related services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised using the proportionate completion
method, which is determined by relating the actual project cost of work performed to date to the estimated total project cost for each
contract. Unbilled revenue represents cost and earnings in excess of billings while unearned revenue represents the billing in excess
of cost and earnings. Provision for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses
become probable based on the current contract estimates.
2.9.2
Provision for discounts is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with contractual terms of agreements with customers.
Revenues are stated net of discount.
2.9.3
2.9.4
Interest income is recognised using the time proportion method, based on the transactional interest rates.
Maintenance revenue is recognised ratably over the period of the maintenance contract.
102
2.10.3 Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing
exchange rates on that date; the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary
items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction.
2.10.4 In respect of integral operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the
balance sheet. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. The items in the statement of profit and loss are translated at
the rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. The differences arising out of the translation are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
2.10.5 Forward exchange contracts and other similar instruments that are not in respect of forecasted transactions are accounted for using
the guidance in Accounting Standard (AS) 11, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates. For such forward exchange contracts
and other similar instruments covered by AS 11, based on the nature and purpose of the contract, either the contracts are recorded
based on the forward rate/fair value at the reporting date, or based on the spot exchange rate on the reporting date. For contracts
recorded at the spot exchange rates, the premium or discount at the inception is amortised as income or expense over the life of the
contract.
2.10.6 For forward exchange contracts and other derivatives that are not covered by AS 11 and that relate to a firm commitment or highly
probable forecasted transactions, the Group has adopted Accounting Standard ('AS') 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to the extent that the adoption did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Company Law and other regulatory requirements. In accordance with AS 30, such derivative financial
instruments, which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and where Group has met all the conditions of cash flow hedge accounting,
are fair valued at balance sheet date and the resultant exchange loss/(gain) is debited/credited to the hedge reserve until the
transaction is completed. Other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange loss/
(gain) has been debited/ credited to statement of profit and loss.
2.11Warranties
Warranty costs (i.e. post contract support services) are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience.
Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the year of recognition of revenue.
2.12 Provision and contingent liabilities
The Group creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation
or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the
economic benefits expected to be received under it are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
2.13 Taxation
The current income tax charge is determined in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to respective entities within the Group.
Deferred tax charge or credit are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to timing difference that result between the profit
offered for income taxes and the profit as per the financial statements. Deferred tax in respect of timing difference which originate during the
tax holiday period but reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the period in which the timing difference originate. For this purpose
the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse first. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding
deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, when
there is a brought forward loss or unabsorbed depreciation under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual
certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect
the amount that is reasonably/ virtually certain to be realised.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against
future income tax liability, is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet if there is a convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal tax
after the tax holiday period and the resultant assets can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a
period of ten years from the period in which such credit is availed.
The entities within the Group offset, on a year-on-year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and
where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
2.14 Earnings per share
In determining earnings per share, the Group considers the consolidated net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any extraordinary item. The number of equity shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises weighted average
number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also weighted average number of equity shares which could
have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.15 Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset (including goodwill) may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash
inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset
or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is
103
reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the
balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does
not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised. In respect of goodwill,
impairment loss will be reversed only when it is caused by specific external events and their effects have been reversed by subsequent
external events.
2.16 Employee stock based compensation
The Group measures the compensation cost relating to employee stock options, restricted shares and stock appreciation rights using the
intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is amortised over the vesting/ service period.
2.17 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on consolidation/ acquisition of assets is not amortised. It is tested for impairment on a periodic basis and written off, if found
impaired.
2.18Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that:
(i) the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them; and
(ii) the grant will be received.
Government grants related to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and loss over the periods
necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. Such grants are deducted in reporting the related
expense. Where the Group receives non-monetary grants, the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisition cost. In case a non-monetary
asset is given free of cost it is recognised at a nominal value.

Segmental reporting
Effective April 1, 2013, the Group has restructured its organisational and management structure and its internal financial reporting structure
to be better aligned to market needs. Pursuant to such re-organization, the Group has identified Manufacturing, BFSI, Hitech, Travel and
Transportation and Others as its reportable business segments. Accordingly, as required by the accounting standards, comparatives have
been restated and presented in line with the current segments.
The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and
expenditure in individual segments.
Income and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while
the remainder of costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Certain expenses are not specifically allocable to individual segments
as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Group therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures
relating to such expenses and accordingly such expenses are separately disclosed as unallocable and directly charged against total
income.
The assets of the Group are used interchangeably between segments and the management believes that it is currently not practical to provide
segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation is not possible.

Company overview
Mindtree Limited (Mindtree or the Company) together with its subsidiaries Mindtree Software (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd, and Mindtree Software
(Shanghai) Co. Ltd, collectively referred to as the Group is an international Information Technology consulting and implementation Group
that delivers business solutions through global software development. The Group is structured into five verticals Manufacturing,
Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, Hitech, Travel & Transportation and Others. The Group offers services in the areas of agile, analytics
and information management, application development and maintenance, business process management, business technology consulting,
cloud, digital business, independent testing, infrastructure management services, mobility, product engineering and SAP services.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Bangalore, Karnataka, India
and has offices in United States of America, United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, UAE, Netherlands,
Canada, France, Malaysia and Republic of China. The Company has its primary listings on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock
Exchange in India. These unaudited consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Companys Board of Directors and
Audit Committee on April 16, 2014.
2.
Statement of compliance
These unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2014 have been prepared in accordance
with the International Financial Reporting Standards and its interpretations (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB).
(b)
Basis of measurement
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for
the following material items that have been measured at fair value as required by relevant IFRS:
i. Derivative financial instruments; and
ii. Available-for-sale financial assets; and
iii. Share based payment transactions
(c)
(d)
3.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The unaudited consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and entities
controlled by the Parent Company (its subsidiaries and controlled trusts).
125
As a result of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and
consequently whether it consolidates its investees. IFRS 10 (2011) introduces a new control model that is applicable to all
investees, by focusing on whether the Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement
with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns. In particular, IFRS 10 (2011) requires the Group
consolidate investees that it controls on the basis of de facto circumstances. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10
(2011), the Group reassessed the control conclusion for its investees at April 1, 2013. Such re-assesment did not have any impact on the
unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Special purpose entities
The Company has established certain special purpose entities (SPEs) for business purposes. These SPE are consolidated based
on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the Company and the SPEs risks and rewards. SPEs controlled by the Company
were established under terms that impose strict limitations on the decision- making powers of the SPEs management and that result
in the Company receiving the majority of the benefits related to the SPEs operations and net assets, being exposed to risks incident to
the SPEs activities and retaining the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or its assets.
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Financial instruments
Financial instruments of the Company are classified in the following categories : non- derivative financial instruments comprising of
loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and trade and other liabilities; derivative financial instruments under the
category of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial instruments depends on the purpose for which those were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.
126
(i) Cash flow hedges: Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized in
other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the cash flow hedging reserve to the extent that the hedge is effective. To
the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income. If the hedging instrument no
longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued
prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the statement of
income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction.
(ii) Others: Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges and the ineffective portion
of cash flow hedges are recognized in the statement of income and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net under results
from operating activities.
(v) Property, plant and equipment
a) Recognition and measurement: Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
b) Depreciation: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis from
the date the assets are available for use. Assets acquired under finance lease and leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of estimated useful life or the related lease term. The estimated useful lives of assets for the current and comparative period of
significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Category
Useful life
Buildings
25 to 30 years
Computer systems
1 to 3 years
3 to 5 years
Vehicles
4 to 5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major
components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of income when incurred. The cost and related
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the unaudited consolidated financial statements upon sale or disposition of the
asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of income.
Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost
of property, plant and equipment not available for use before such date are disclosed under capital work- in-progress.
(vi)
a) Goodwill
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Companys share in the fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities is recognized as goodwill. If the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the
statement of income.
b) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairments. Intangible assets are amortized over their
respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful
life of an identifiable intangible asset is 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 asset.
The estimated useful life for intellectual property related intangibles is estimated at 5 years and computer software is estimated at 1
to 2 years.
(vii) Leases
Leases under which the company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases.
When acquired, such assets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease,
whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis in the statement of
income over the lease term.
(viii) Impairment
a) Financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets
is impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment loss.
127
Employee Benefit
The Group participates in various employee benefit plans. Post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans
or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Companys only obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no
obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and
investment risks fall on the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognized as expense during the period
when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Companys obligation to provide agreed benefits to the
employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is
calculated using the projected unit credit method.
The Company has the following employee benefit plans:
a) Provident fund
Employees receive benefits from a provident fund. The employer and employees each make periodic contributions to the
government administered plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employees salary.
b) Gratuity
In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at
retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund
is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and SBI Life Insurance
Company. The Companys obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on
actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. In the current period, the Company has applied IAS 19 (as revised in
June 2011) Employee Benefits (IAS 19R) and the related consequential amendments. IAS 19R has been applied retrospectively in
accordance with transitional provisions. As a result, all actuarial gains or losses are immediately recognized in other comprehensive
income and permanently excluded from profit or loss. Further, the profit or loss will no longer include an expected return on plan assets.
Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit
obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate is
recognized as part of re-measurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income. The adoption of Revised
IAS 19 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Also, the comparative information has not been restated
as the effect of the change in the accounting policy is not material on the consolidated financial statements.
c) Compensated absences
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised
accumulating compensated absences and utilise it in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination of employment.
The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases
this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences as the additional amount that the Company
expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognizes
128
accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognized in the
period in which the absences occur. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of income.
(x)
(xi)
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the
reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable
is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be
measured reliably.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than
the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts are measured at the
present value of lower of the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract.
(xii)
Revenue
The Company derives revenue primarily from software development and related services. The Company recognizes revenue when the
significant terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured. The
method for recognizing revenues and costs depends on the nature of the services rendered:
129
The Company accrues the estimated cost of post contract support services at the time when the revenue is recognized. The accruals
are based on the Companys historical experience of material usage and service delivery costs.
(xiii) Finance income and expense
Finance income consists of interest income on funds invested (including available-for- sale financial assets), dividend income and
gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the statement of income, using
the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognized in the statement of income on the date that the Companys right to receive payment is established.
Finance expenses consist of interest expense on loans and borrowings and impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other
than trade receivables). Borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of income using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. This includes changes in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative
instruments, which are accounted at fair value through profit or loss.
(xiv) Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of income except to the extent it
relates to items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(a) Current income tax
Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and applicable for the period. The Company offsets current tax assets and
current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a
net basis or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.
(b) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial
statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction
that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred income tax asset are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
(xv)
130
The nature and the effect of the changes are further explained below.
* The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statement of the group.
(a) Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements, when such
measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. In particular, it unifies the definition of fair value as the price at which an
orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date. It
also replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7 Financial
Instruments: Disclosures.
Notwithstanding the above, the change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Groups assets and liabilities.
(b) Presentation of items of other comprehensive income
As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Group has modified the presentation of items of other comprehensive income in its
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, to present separately items that would be reclassified to
profit or loss in the future from those that would never be. Comparative information has also been re-presented accordingly.
The adoption of the amendment to IAS 1 has no impact on the recognised assets, liabilities and comprehensive income of the Group.
(c) IAS 1 Clarification of the requirement for comparative information (Amendment)
These amendments clarify the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required
comparative information. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial statements when
it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the minimum required comparative period.
The amendments clarify that the opening statement of financial position (as at 1 January 2012 in the case of the Group), presented as a
result of retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in financial statements does not have to be accompanied by comparative
information in the related notes. As a result, the Group has not included comparative information in respect of the opening statement of
financial position as at 1 January 2012. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Groups financial
position or performance.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
(a) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: In November 2009, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS9, Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement, to reduce the complexity of the current rules on financial instruments as mandated in IAS39. The
effective date to adopt IFRS 9 is yet to be notified. IFRS 9 has fewer classification and measurement categories as compared to IAS39 and
has eliminated the categories of held to maturity, available for sale and loans and receivables. Further it eliminates the rule-based
requirement of segregating embedded derivatives and tainting rules pertaining to held-to maturity investments. For an investment in an
equity instrument which is not held for trading, IFRS 9 permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual
share-by-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income. No amount recognized in
other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss. IFRS 9, was further amended in October 2010, and such
amendment introduced requirements on accounting for financial liabilities. This amendment addresses the issue of volatility in the
profit or loss due to changes in the fair value of an entitys own debt. It requires the entity, which chooses to measure a liability at fair
value, to present the portion of the fair value change attributable to the entitys own credit risk in the other comprehensive income. The
Company is currently evaluating the requirements of IFRS9, and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
(b) Amendments to IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: In December 2011, the International Accounting Standards
Board issued amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments clarify that:
nan entity currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off if that right is:
- not contingent on future event; and
- enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all
counterparties;
ngross settlement is equivalent to net settlement if and only if the gross settlement mechanism has features that:
- eliminate or result in insignificant credit and liquidity risk; and
- process receivables and payables in a single settlement process or cycle.
The Company is required to adopt amendments to IAS 32 by accounting year commencing April 1, 2014. The Company is
currently evaluating the requirements of IAS 32 amendments and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated
financial statements
(c) Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27): These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2014 provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity
under IFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or
loss. This amendment is not expected to be relevant to the Group, since none of the entities in the Group would qualify to be an
investment entity under IFRS 10.
(d) IFRIC 21 Levies: IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognises a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by
the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no
liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached.
IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements
to IFRS 21, and has not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
131
(e) IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting Amendments to IAS 39: These amendments provide
relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Group has not novated its derivatives
during the current period. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements to IAS 39, and has not yet determined the impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
(f) Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets Amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets: These amendments
remove the unintended consequences of IFRS 13 on the disclosures required under IAS 36. In addition, these amendments require
disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or CGUs for which impairment loss has been recognised or reversed during the
period. These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 with earlier
application permitted, provided IFRS 13 is also applied. The Group is currently evaluating the requirements of IAS 36, and has not
yet determined the impact in the consolidated financial statements.

Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to
foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The
primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign
exchange related risk exposures. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer
and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations and arises principally from the Companys receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed
through credit approvals, establishing credit limits, continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants
credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company also assesses the financial reliability of customers taking into account the
financial condition, current economic trends and historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables. The Company establishes an
allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and
investments.
Trade and other receivables
The Companys exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics
of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk
assessment.
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top 5 customers:
Particulars

2014
2013
Revenue from top customer
2,341
1,876
Revenue from top 5 customers
9,688
7,836
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the receivables and revenues for the years March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 and
hence there is no significant concentration of credit risk.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counter-parties that have a good credit
rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties and does not have any significant
concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and interest bearing deposits with corporates are neither past due nor
impaired. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international and domestic
credit-rating agencies. Available-for-sale financial assets include investment in liquid mutual fund units and unlisted equity
instruments. Deposits with corporates represent funds deposited with financial institutions for a specified time period. Of the total trade
receivables, ` 5,048 and ` 3,716 as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 respectively, were neither past due nor impaired.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company
manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. Also, the
Company has unutilized credit limits with banks.
The Companys corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes
and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

Profits from certain other undertakings are also eligible for preferential tax treatment. In addition, dividend income from certain
category of investments is exempt from tax. The difference between the reported income tax expense and income tax computed at statutory
tax rate is primarily attributable to income exempt from tax.
Pursuant to the changes in the Indian income tax laws in fiscal 2007, Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) has been extended to income in respect of
which deduction is claimed under the tax holiday schemes discussed above; consequently, the Company has calculated its tax liability for
current domestic taxes after considering MAT. The excess tax paid under MAT provisions over and above normal tax liability can be carried
141
forward and set-off against future tax liabilities computed under normal tax provisions. The Company was required to pay MAT and
accordingly, a deferred tax asset of ` Nil and ` 165 has been recognized in the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2014 and
March 31, 2013 respectively, which can be carried forward for a period of ten years from the year of recognition.
The Company is also subject to US tax on income attributable to its permanent establishment in the United States due to operation
of its US branch.
16. Equity
a) Share capital and share premium
The Company has only one class of equity shares. The authorized share capital of the Company is 79,620,000 equity shares of ` 10 each. Par
value of the equity shares is recorded as share capital and the amount received in excess of the par value is classified as share
premium.
The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of ` 10.
Each holder of the equity share, as reflected in the records of the Company as of the date of the shareholder meeting, is entitled to one vote in
respect of each share held for all matters submitted to vote in the shareholder meeting.
The company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. A final dividend, including tax thereon, on common stock is recorded as
a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders.
An interim dividend, including tax thereon, is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the board of directors.
Indian law mandates that any dividend be declared out of accumulated distributable profits only after the transfer to a general reserve of a
specified percentage of net profit computed in accordance with current regulations. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed
by Indian law on foreign exchange and is subject to applicable taxes.
The amount of per share dividend recognized as distributions to equity shareholders for the year ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013
was ` 19 and ` 4.50 respectively.
The Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 16, 2014 have recommended a third interim dividend of 50% (` 5 per equity share of
par value ` 10 each). Further, the Board has recommended a final dividend of 50% (` 5 per equity share of par value ` 10 each) for the year
ended March 31, 2014 and a special dividend of 50% (` 5 per equity share of par value ` 10 each) for completion of 15 years in business. The
proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on July 18, 2014, and if approved, would
result in a cash outflow of approximately ` 732, inclusive of corporate dividend tax of ` 106.
The Board of Directors at their meeting held on April 16, 2014, have recommended an issue of bonus shares on the Company's equity
shares in the ratio of 1:1 (one additional equity share for every one existing equity share). The Group is in the process of complying with
necessary formalities. If the proposed 1:1 bonus share issue is approved by shareholders prior to the date of the AGM, the final and special
dividend amounts would be accordingly reduced to 25% (` 2.5 per equity share of ` 10 each).
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the
Company after distribution of all preferential amounts. However, no such preferential amounts exist currently. The distribution will be in
proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
b) Retained earnings
Retained earnings comprises of the Company's prior years' undistributed earnings after taxes. A portion of these earnings amounting to
` 87 is not freely available for distribution.
c) Share based payment reserve

amounts recorded in share based payment reserve are transferred to share premium upon exercise of stock options by employees.
