Board’s Report 99
The risk management program of your Company which started with ‘Protection’ as the focus moved to ‘Protect and Enable business’
and focused more on building a resilient Company. Analysis showed that in addition to being resilient, the Company has also become
Anti-fragile – addressing issues around Uncertainty, Volatility and Complexity. While being strongly resilient helped the company to
bounce back quickly when faced with a crisis, ‘Anti-fragility’ built over the last 2 years added the required capabilities for ‘confident and
positive risk taking’ – take risks in a calculated manner and approach risk as an opportunity for growth and success by managing it,
rather than merely viewing risk in the context of possible loss. These capabilities enable companies to improve their strategic decision
making process in an otherwise opaque environment and enhance the operational performance in addition to providing strong assurance
on protection and compliance.
The following paragraphs provide a view of how risk is managed at Mphasis and the status of the important enterprise level risks.
Your Company has implemented an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program, benchmarked to COSO ERM framework, adhering to
the ISO 31000 Risk Management Standard, and complying with the Indian Companies Act, 2013 / Companies (Amendment) Act, 2019
and SEBI directives.
The ERM program is aligned to the business strategy of the Company and helps to proactively identify, assess, mitigate, monitor and
report risks across the enterprise that have the potential to prevent the Company from achieving its business objectives. Broadly,
enterprise risks are classified and managed under the following categories:
I. Strategy Risks - These have the potential to impact the entity’s mission which arises out of strategic decisions and IT Investments,
resource allocation, delivery models, geographical expansion and other activities. These risks are generally non-routine in nature
and have high impact on the Company.
II. Operational Risks - These have the potential to impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the business operations.
III. Cyber and Privacy Risks - These have the potential to adversely impact security of information assets and information processing
systems and have assumed paramount importance in the current business environment as the cyber threats have continued to
grow both in terms of numbers and in sophistication.
IV. Financial and Reporting Risks - These have the potential to adversely impact the profitability of the Company. These also have
the potential to impact the statutory financial statements and transmission of timely and accurate information to stakeholders.
V. Compliance Risks - These have the potential to expose the Company to regulatory, statutory, and legal risks.
To provide the appropriate Governance and Oversight, given the criticality of risk management, and to comply with the regulatory
requirements, the Company has formed a Risk Governance and Management Committee (RGMC) comprising of Board Members and
company executives to assist the Board in discharging its risk oversight responsibilities. This committee reviews the details of Risk
Assessments undertaken by the management.
At the management level, the Mphasis Risk Management Committee (MRMC) chaired by the CEO, provides the required oversight
for the ERM program and monitors the progress on various identified enterprise risks and periodically reviews the mitigation efforts.
MRMC comprises of 6 Company executive members and met 8 times during the year ended 31 March 2022. There is a dedicated risk
management function headed by Chief Risk Officer to coordinate all risk related activities across the enterprise and who periodically
reports status on enterprise risks to the Board/RGMC/Audit Committee/MRMC.
During the year, ERM annual risk refresh program was conducted to revalidate and identify new risks which has resulted in increased
rigor in monitoring the identified risks. 13 new Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) have been added considering the increase in risk in 5 risk areas
/ domains.
Risk Intelligence: Pursuant to our larger goal of making Mphasis a Risk Intelligent Organization, this program aims to spot the ‘Black
Swans’ and manage ‘Gray Rhinos’ (external risks) in the horizon and manage them proactively. Using inputs from PESTLE/GRIC (Global,
Regional, Industry and Client) analysis, it complements the ERM program and provides a snapshot of external global events that are likely
to have an impact on the Company enabling the management to take informed and timely decision.
Some of the important enterprise risks/concerns specific to the Company and steps taken by the Company to mitigate these risks are
given below:

Mphasis is proactively partnering with the clients and prospects in their re-evaluation of geo-diversity and workload distribution plans for
business continuity. Management is proactively engaging with various governments on building a pathway for technology employment
generation and wherever possible, negotiating offshoring and near-shoring opportunities.
To resolve global environmental concerns such as climate change and global warming, we have built a range of policies and initiatives.
We recognize our obligation to the natural world and are committed to reducing the environmental effects of our operations. Our
Environmental Health and Safety policy addresses the concerns relating to enhancing sustainability initiatives to reduce the Company’s
carbon footprint, optimize energy consumption, strive to prevent / minimize pollution, educate the suppliers on environmental standards
and continuously improve on environmental performance indicators.
All said, changing weather and seasonal diseases, epidemics and pandemics pose threat to human safety and business disruption. As
Mphasis has operations globally with its employees wide-spread, the sustainability risks may potentially impact employee safety and
well-being, delivery and the safety of Mphasis stakeholders resulting in business disruption.
The Company has a strong and well tested Business Continuity Program in place to ensure the commitments to our stakeholders are
met even during testing times.
Strategy Risks
Concentration Risk
Client Concentration Risk: This risk arises when a higher percentage of revenue is received from very few clients. The Company has
addressed this risk by focusing on growing many other clients across geographies which has helped to mitigate this risk. The Company
also monitors concentration risk within the Direct Core business and ensures that this is mitigated. Several other initiatives have also
been implemented to de-risk the Company from these risks which includes, programs to develop high stickiness with existing clients,
closely monitor the client satisfaction (CSAT) score of the top clients, grow wallet share of other existing clients and acquisition of new
logos.
Geographical Concentration Risk: This risk was identified for mitigation, as a high percentage of our revenues came from North America.
To ensure this risk is mitigated, the Company has implemented plans to grow other regions such as Canada, Europe, Australia and
other emerging geographies. The Company has taken several measures during the year and focused efforts on the growth of these
geographies. New offices have been set up in countries like Argentina, Saudi Arabia, etc. and significant investments have been made in
augmenting salesforce - MU and DU leaders targeting customized portfolio for each geography.
This Tribe model was created to bring the right tech capabilities across the company to stitch together the most appropriate IT and
business solutions for our global clients. Called the ‘Power of Eight’ the Tribe 2.0 comprised of
1. Modernization 5. Nextops
2. XaaP 6. Cyber Security
3. Next Gen Data 7. Nextgen IT Ops
4. DevOps 8. Experience
The Tribe model is flexible, and, based on client demand, market trends and the impact on creating strategic partnership opportunities,
Tribes 2.0 was launched, focusing on areas of Experience, Next Ops and Next Gen IT Ops. In the last 18 months, these tribes have been
constantly evolving to equip us better for higher order large deal motions across both Company’s strategic and NCA accounts, helping
the Company win large deals. Some of these higher order plays that have been enabled by our tribes are : Zero Cost Transformation,
Cost Take Out, Platformization, Tech Ops and Data Driven DevOps, Comprehensive Cyber Security Solutions including Nextgen Security
Ops Center, etc. As a result of this, we have also seen accelerated growth across Company’s business channels with more than 75%

Profitability risk:
During this period while your Company registered exponential growth and won large deals. There was pricing pressure from the global
clients due to the impact of the pandemic. To surmount this risk the company implemented several cost optimization programs through
the year ensuring that it doesn’t impact business targets and balancing with long-term profitability. Some of the important measures
include value-based pricing of deals, pyramid management of human resource by inducting more freshers, and increased rigor in
solutions risk reviews.
Operational Risks
Your Company continues to tread with caution as far as the pandemic and related risks are concerned. It continues to take all possible
employee related health and safety measures adhering to governments guidelines and industry best practices.
Risk of Attrition
Being a global IT service provider, human resource plays an important and critical role in a company’s success. Your employees continue
to remain the critical differentiators and loss of these critical resources will pose risk to the Company in the ability to deliver on contractual
commitments.
Although the pandemic had adverse impacts across the spectrum, it catalyzed the adoption of tech across all industries resulting into
exponential demand for IT services. However, this huge growth meant huge global demand for IT resources which in turn has increased
the risk of attrition as every IT company became laser focused on the hiring of resources.
Your Company has taken several measures to ensure that this risk is adequately managed. Various initiatives have been rolled out to
identify critical talents across the company and to reduce attrition. Assessing risk by categorizing employees into Critical Risk, High Risk
and Low Risk profiles and providing mitigation plans like role / project change, onsite assignments, salary increases, and promotions
have helped in maintaining the right workforce. Your Company also ensures that HR interventions such as employee engagement, job
enrichment and job rotations are used to retain critical employee talent. Over and above this, skill enhancement, building special interest
professional groups, internal job postings and rewards and recognition through various platforms are other initiatives taken by the
Company to mitigate this risk. Talent Next, the flagship talent management program continues to focus on up-skilling and cross-skilling
the Company’s workforce on next-gen skills technologies. It helps in workforce development and effective deployment of a certified pool.
Risk of adverse impact to topline and bottom line due to scarcity of trained IT professionals
The pandemic which had adverse impact on the global economy, provided a positive impetus to the demand of IT and Digital Services,
which in turn, brought huge demand for trained IT Services professionals across the globe. This spurt in demand for Human Resource
has brought a demand – supply mismatch in the market and has the potential to impact both topline and bottom line.

Your Company has implemented a contract management tool that helps in automating the process from initiation through award,
compliance, and renewal.
Risk of Fraud
To foster an ethical climate devoid of misconduct at all levels, the Company has implemented a comprehensive Fraud Risk Management
System consisting of policies and procedures that provide direction for ensuring antifraud mechanisms as a part of the fabric of the
organization. In addition, the Company through various governance structures, such as internal audits, whistle blower mechanisms and
an independent investigation team has built a strong framework to detect and mitigate fraud risk. The Company has spent significant
time and effort in promoting Fraud Risk Awareness to ensure that the Company has a workforce which is aware of the right conduct and
can prevent and detect frauds.
As a global Company, we must comply with applicable country specific regulations such as Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the USA
and the UK Anti-Bribery Act. The Company has established appropriate mechanisms to ensure compliance to these laws, including
guidelines and training. Necessary amendments to the policy structure have been made during the year to ensure control rigor.
Currency Risks
Mphasis uses multiple billing currencies including USD, Euro, GBP, etc. and adverse movements in these currency rates may impact
the Company’s profitability.
Mphasis follows a well-established hedging policy, which is undertaken to protect it from the unfavorable currency movements.
Management proactively undertook various measures to mitigate the risk / minimize the impact, including, consolidating demand, and
placing advance orders, maintaining an optimal buffer stock, renting of computing devices on a need basis, extending the usage
of assets and proactively engaging at leadership level with suppliers. Through these proactive actions the Company has effectively
managed the risk without any business impact.

Mphasis Cyber Security strategy which was developed in 2016-17 delivered on its objectives (risk reduction, enable business & brand
protection). A comprehensive review of the same was undertaken during FY22 considering exponential growth of cyber threats, highly
sophisticated attacks and increasing regulatory scrutiny with inputs from clients, shareholders, governmental agencies and our own
internal risk assessments and has been recalibrated to support the business for the next 2-3 years. A roadmap of initiatives has been
developed with clear milestones covering people, process, technology to ensure achievement of cyber security objectives.
As people remain a constant security vulnerability, in part because of social engineering attacks, your Company has created a new
function to drive employee security awareness and leveraging technology solutions in addition to traditional programs ensure we have
the appropriate security culture within the organization. This function has started yielding results.
Compliance Risks
Non-compliance with statutory requirements
The Company has a presence across multiple jurisdictions, and therefore is subject to a diverse set of legislation. As a result, there is
a risk of non-compliance or delay in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company uses enterprise and global
legal compliance tools to track compliance across jurisdictions. The Company also uses services of professional consultants to ensure
compliance with domestic and overseas laws and regulations. The Company has implemented processes to ensure internal stakeholders
of the Company are aware of statutory requirements and maintain required evidence to demonstrate that due care has been taken by
the Company to ensure compliance.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above
when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Holding Company’s Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and
regulations.
Management’s and Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs, consolidated
profit/loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group,
in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified
under section 133 of the Act. The respective management and Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group are responsible
for the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial
statements by the management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective management and Board of Directors of the companies included in
the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process
of each Company.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls with reference to the consolidated financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness
of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the management and Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in
preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to the aforesaid consolidated financial statements under Clause (i) of
sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(Referred to in paragraph 2 (A)(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Mphasis Limited (“the Holding Company”) as of and for the
year ended 31 March 2022, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to the consolidated financial statements of the
Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013 which are its subsidiary companies, as of
that date.
In our opinion, the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India which are its subsidiary companies, have, in all material
respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls were
operating effectively as at 31 March 2022, based on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements
criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the “Guidance
Note”).
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based
on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section
143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements.
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements were
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to
consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated
financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the internal
controls based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks
of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal
financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial controls with Reference to consolidated Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not
be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements to
future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Basis of consolidation
The Group determines the basis of control in line with the requirements of Ind AS 110 - Consolidated Financial Statements. The
consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries as
disclosed in Note 1. Control exists when the Group has:
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee),
Exposure or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Entities are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. The Group re-assesses whether or not it
controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Group have been combined on a line-by-line basis and intra group balances and transactions including unrealised
gain / loss from such transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Changes in the Company’s interests in subsidiaries that
do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Company’s interests and the non-
controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount
by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity
and attributed to owners of the Group.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies across the Group. The financial statements of all
entities used for consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date.

Contingent consideration forming part of any business combination and eligible to be considered as purchase consideration is measured
and recognized as a liability at fair value at the date of acquisition; subsequent changes to fair value of the liability is recognized in the
consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving judgments and the use of assumptions in the
consolidated financial statements have been disclosed below:
• Business combinations and intangible assets
In accounting for business combinations, judgment is required in identifying whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded
separately from goodwill. Estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, useful life thereof and liabilities
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.
• Taxes
The Group’s two major tax jurisdictions are India, and the U.S. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax
regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income of the Group’s operations in India. Given the
wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements,
differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate
future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates,
for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates and reflects the uncertainty
related to income taxes, if any. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax
audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of
interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective group company’s
domicile. A tax assessment could involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax
assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.

• Revenue recognition
Use of the percentage-of completion method in accounting for fixed-price contracts requires the Group to estimate the efforts or
costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to
measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.
• Leases
The Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease based on the requirements of the relevant standard. Identification of a
lease requires significant management judgment. Computation of the lease liabilities and right-to-use assets requires management
to estimate the lease term (including anticipated renewals), and the applicable discount rate. Management estimates the lease term
based on the non-cancellable lease-term, options for future renewals if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise and options to
terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise. In performing this assessment, the discount rate is generally
based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Group expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Group derives its revenues primarily from rendering application development and maintenance services, infrastructure outsourcing
services, call centre and business & knowledge process outsourcing operations and licensing arrangements.
• Revenue from rendering application development and maintenance services comprise income from time-and-material and fixed price
contracts. Revenues from call center and business & knowledge process outsourcing operations arise from time-based, unit-priced
and fixed priced contracts. Revenues from infrastructure outsourcing services arise from time-based, unit-priced and fixed price
contracts.
• Revenue from time and material, unit-priced contracts is recognized on an output basis, measured by units delivered, efforts
expended etc.
• Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, calculated as the proportion of the
cost of effort incurred up to the reporting date to estimated cost of total effort.

• Revenue from the sale of distinct third-party hardware is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.
The solutions offered by the Group may include supply of third-party equipment or software. In such cases, revenue for supply of such
third-party goods are recorded at gross or net basis depending on whether the Group is acting as the principal or as an agent of the
customer. The Group recognises revenue in the gross amount of consideration when it is acting as a principal and at net amount of
consideration when it is acting as an agent.
Revenue from sale of services is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts and pricing
incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Sales tax / Value Added Tax (VAT) / Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) is
not received by the Group on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity / service rendered by the seller
on behalf of the Government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenues.
The Group recognises an onerous contract provision when it is probable that the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a
contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as
unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is
required, as per contractual terms. Unearned and deferred revenue (“contract liability”) is recognised when there are billings in excess
of revenues. The billing schedules agreed with customers could include periodic performance-based payments and/or milestone-based
progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period. Advances received for services are reported as
liabilities until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
Contract modifications: Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch-up basis, while those that are
distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price,
or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price.
• Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of
customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, performance bonuses, price concessions
and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant
financing component. The Group has applied the practical expedient provided by Ind AS 115, whereby the Group does not adjust
the transaction price for the effects of the time value of money where the period between when the control on goods and services
transferred to the customer and when payment thereof is due, is one year or less. Any consideration payable to the customer is
adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct good or service from the customer. The estimated amount of
variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the
amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. The Group allocates
the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is observable evidence that
they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
• The Group uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Group allocates
the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or
service promised in the contract. Where standalone selling price is not observable, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin
approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.

• Use of the percentage-of completion method in accounting for fixed-price contracts requires the Group to estimate the efforts or
costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to
measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.
• Contract fulfilment costs are generally expensed as incurred except for certain costs which meet the criteria for capitalisation.
The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular, when considering if costs generate or enhance
resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.
• Contract acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred except for certain costs which meet the criteria for capitalization, in
particular if such costs are expected to be recovered. Contract acquisition costs are amortized over the contract term, consistent
with the pattern of transfer of goods or services to which the asset relates.
Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the consolidated statement of profit and loss using effective interest rate method.
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the dividend is established.
The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by segment, geography, services rendered, delivery location and
project type.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and write down for,
impairment if any. Direct costs are capitalised until the assets are ready to be put to use. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable
to the acquisition. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them
separately based on their specific useful lives. 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 Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss as incurred. Property, plant and
equipment purchased in foreign currency are recorded at cost, based on the exchange rate on the date of purchase.
The Group identifies and determines cost of each component / part of property, plant and equipment separately, if the component/ part
has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the property, plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different from
that of the remaining asset.
Intangible assets purchased or acquired in business combination, are measured at cost or fair value as of the date of acquisition, as
applicable, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment, if any. The amortization period and the amortization method are
reviewed at least at each financial year end.
For internally generated intangible assets, expenses incurred during the research phase are expensed as incurred. Development and
product enhancements are capitalized as an intangible asset when the following criteria are met:
• Technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
• Intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. Leasehold land is
amortised over the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date are disclosed under
‘other assets’. The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready to use before the balance sheet date is disclosed under ‘Capital work
in progress’.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and
are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss when the property, plant and equipment is derecognized.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 0CDFA5D2-39C1-4FCE-B596-D0A716D2E898
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are
considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Project specific assets are depreciated over the period of contract or useful life of the asset, whichever is lower.
Leases
Group as a lessee
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for a consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:
the Group has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to
each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone prices of the lease components and the aggregate stand-alone price of
the non-lease components.
The Group recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement
date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease
liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, plus any initial
direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or
restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. 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 asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets
are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever
there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the consolidated
statement of profit and loss.
45
ANNUAL REPORT • 2022
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0CDFA5D2-39C1-4FCE-B596-D0A716D2E898
The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing
the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease
modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
The Group recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the carrying
amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group
recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of
12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor at the inception, it determines whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case
of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on
the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the
sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head
lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described
above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains a lease and non-lease components, the Group applies Ind AS 115-Revenue to allocate the consideration in
the contract.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the year they occur.
Impairment
a. Financial assets (other than at fair value)
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, trade
receivables, contract assets and other financial assets, the Group assesses at each date of balance sheet whether the asset is
impaired. Ind AS 109 (‘Financial instruments’) requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. Expected
credit loss is the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted
using the effective interest rate. The Group recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables.
For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at
an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition. The Group provides for impairment upon the occurrence of the triggering event.
b. Non-financial assets
• Tangible and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication
that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair
value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash
flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash
generating unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs.
46
ANNUAL REPORT • 2022
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0CDFA5D2-39C1-4FCE-B596-D0A716D2E898
• Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more often, if there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired,
relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. For the purpose of impairment
testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units (CGU) expected to benefit
from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates
cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when
the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable
amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future
cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. The Group estimates the value in use of CGU’s based on the future cash flows
after considering current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results, growth rate and estimated future
economic and regulatory conditions. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The discount rates used
for the CGU’s represents the weighted average cost of capital based on the historical market return of comparable companies.
If the recoverable amount of a CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying
amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata based on the carrying amount of
each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Impairment
losses relating to goodwill are not reversed in future periods.
Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments consist of the following:
financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, trade receivables, investments in equity and debt
securities and eligible current and non-current assets;
financial liabilities, which include loans and borrowings, finance lease liabilities, bank overdrafts, trade payables, contingent
consideration and eligible current and non-current liabilities.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contract that gives rise to financial assets
and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
47
ANNUAL REPORT • 2022
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0CDFA5D2-39C1-4FCE-B596-D0A716D2E898
Interest income is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for FVTPL debt instruments. Dividend on financial
assets at FVTPL is recognized when the Group’s right to receive dividend is established.
e. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. For trade and other payables
maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of
these instruments.
Derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in consolidated statement of profit
and loss as expenses.
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
b. Others
Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated
statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains, net.
Changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of foreign currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which have
not been designated as hedges are recorded as foreign exchange gains/ (losses).

Employee benefits
a. Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits.
Benefits such as salaries, wages etc. and the expected cost of ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders
the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid when there is a present legal or constructive obligation
to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
b. Compensated absences
The Group has a policy on compensated absences that is both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. Non-accumulating
compensated absences are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized in the period in which absences occur. The
cost of short-term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates. The expected cost of accumulating compensated
absences is determined by actuarial valuation at each balance sheet date measured based on the amounts expected to be paid /
availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. The Group treats accumulated leave
expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefits for measurement purposes. Such long-
term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-
end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the consolidated statement of profit and loss. The Group presents the entire
obligation for compensated absences as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an unconditional right to defer
its settlement beyond 12 months from the reporting date.
d. Provident fund
Mphasis Limited has established a Provident Fund Trust to which contributions towards provident fund are made on a monthly basis.
The Provident Fund Trust guarantees a specified rate of return on such contributions on a periodical basis. The contributions to the
trust managed by the Company is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as the Company is liable for any shortfall in the fund assets
based on the Government specified minimum rates of return.

Gratuity, which is a defined benefit plan, is determined based on an independent actuarial valuation, which is carried out based on
the projected unit credit method. The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or
liability. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan
assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they occur. Past service cost, both vested and unvested, is recognised as an expense at the earlier
of (a) when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs; and (b) when the entity recognises related restructuring costs or termination
benefits. In accordance with Ind AS, re-measurement gains and losses on defined benefit plans recognised in OCI are not to be
subsequently reclassified to consolidated statement of profit and loss. As required under Ind AS read with Schedule III to Companies
Act, 2013, the Group transfers it immediately to retained earnings. The discount rate is based on the yield of securities issued by the
Government of India.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using the Black-Scholes
valuation model. The expected term of an option is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual life of the option. Expected
volatility during the expected term of the option is based on the historical volatility of share price of the Company. Risk free interest rates
are based on the government securities yield in effect at the time of the grant.
The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserve in equity,
over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s
best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Debit or credit in consolidated statement of profit and loss
for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in
employee benefits expense.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Foreign Currencies
a. Functional currency
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company’s functional currency. For all other
entites, the Group determines the functional currency based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, and
items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Gains and losses arising on restatement of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in the
consolidated statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at
historical cost are translated at an exchange rate that approximates the rate prevalent on the date of the transaction.
Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the
period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
c. Translations
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations that
have a functional currency other than INR are translated into INR using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in
other comprehensive income and held in foreign currency translation reserve (‘FCTR’), a component of equity, except to the extent

Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and
deferred tax are recognised in consolidated statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused
tax losses, 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 assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as
an income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date.
Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries where it is expected that the earnings of the
subsidiary will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.
For operations carried out in SEZ facilities, deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, have been established for the tax consequences
of those temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that do not reverse
during the tax holiday period(s).
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity/ group of entities.
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as result of past event, and it is probable that
an outflow embodying economic benefits of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined based on best
estimates required to settle each obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
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. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of
the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established,
the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving
basic earnings per share, and the weighted average number of equity shares which could be issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period unless they have been
issued at a later date.
Government grants
The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be complied
with, and the grants will be received. When the grant relates to a capital asset, it is presented by deducting the grant in arriving at the
carrying amount of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in net profit in the consolidated
statement of profit and loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.
Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 vide Notification dated
23 March 2022. Following amendments and annual improvements to Ind AS are applicable from 1 April 2022.
Ind AS - 37 Provisions
The amendment clarifies that the ‘costs to fulfil’ a contract include both incremental costs (direct labour and material) and an allocation
of other direct costs (e.g: depreciation charge for an item of PPE used in fulfilling the contract).
The Group does not expect the above amendments / improvements to have any significant impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

The discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘WACC’) which represents the weighted average return attributable
to all the assets of the CGU. These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows. Management
believes that any reasonable possible changes in the key assumptions mentioned above would not cause the carrying amount to exceed
the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit.
Recoverable amount of all CGU’s exceeded their carrying amounts, and hence no impairment losses were recognized during the year
(31 March 2021: ` nil).

b. Provident Fund
In accordance with Indian law, all eligible employees of Mphasis Limited in India are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund
plan in which both the employee and employer (at a determined rate) contribute monthly to a Trust set up by the Company to manage the
investments and distribute the amounts entitled to employees. This plan is a defined benefit plan as the Company is obligated to provide
its members a rate of return which should, at the minimum, meet the interest rate declared by Government administered provident fund.
A part of the Company’s contribution is transferred to Government administered pension fund. The contributions made by the Company
and the shortfall of interest, if any, are recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under employee benefit
expenses. In accordance with an actuarial valuation of provident fund liabilities on the basis of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of
India and based on the assumptions as mentioned below, there is no deficiency in the interest cost as the present value of the expected
future earnings of the fund is greater than the expected amount to be credited to the individual members based on the expected
guaranteed rate of interest of Government administered provident fund.
The Group has carried out actuarial valuation only for defined benefit plan as at 31 March 2022. The actuary has provided a valuation for
provident fund liabilities and based on the assumptions mentioned below, there is no shortfall in plan assets as at 31 March 2022 and
31 March 2021.
All eligible employees of Indian subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both
the employee and employer (at a determined rate) contribute monthly to the Government administered provident fund plan. A part of

obligation of the employer is limited to the monthly contributions made to the fund. The contributions made to the fund are recognised
as an expense in profit and loss under employee benefit expenses.

provident fund made by the Company and its Indian subsidiaries. The Ministry of Labour and Employment (‘Ministry’) has released
draft rules for the Code on 13 November 2020 and has invited suggestions from stake holders. The suggestions received are under
consideration by the Ministry. The effective date of the Code has not yet been notified and the related rules to ascertain the financial

Credit risk
Liquidity risk
The Group has a risk management policy / framework which covers risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The risk
management policy / framework is approved by the Treasury committee. The focus of such framework is to assess the unpredictability
of the financial environment and to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
CREDIT RISK
Credit Risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading
to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well
as concentration of risks. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables and unbilled
receivables) and from its investing activities including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, derivative financial
instruments, and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policies, procedures and controls relating to customer
credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. One customer group accounted for more than 10%
of the trade receivable for the year ended 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: One).
The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss for the years ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021 was ` 106.89 million and ` 251.81
million respectively. The reconciliation is as follows:

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to
maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Group’s principal sources of liquidity are
cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, current investments and the cash flow that is generated
from operations. The Group believes that these sources are sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is
perceived.
The break-up of cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments is as below:

Sensitivity analysis
For every 1% appreciation / depreciation of the respective foreign currencies, the Group’s profit before taxes will be impacted by
approximately ` 0.60 million for the year ended 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: ` 6.80 million).
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair values:
• The fair values of the quoted investments are based on price quotations at the reporting date.
• The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange
rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. Foreign exchange forward contracts

models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates. 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.

The economic effects of the war are spreading far and wide —mainly through commodity markets, trade, and financial linkages. Even
prior to the war, inflation had surged in many economies because of soaring commodity prices and pandemic-induced supply-demand
imbalances. Some emerging markets and developed economies’ central banks, such as the US Federal Reserve and those in Latin
America, had already come under pressure before the war, bringing forward the timing of their monetary policy tightening. War-related
supply shortages will greatly amplify those pressures, notably through increases in the price of energy, metals, and food. Although
bottlenecks are expected to eventually ease as production elsewhere responds to higher prices and new capacity becomes operational,
supply shortages in some sectors are expected to last into 2023. As a result, inflation is now projected to remain elevated for much longer
than in our previous forecast, in both advanced and emerging market and developing economies.
As businesses face elevated inflation, streamlining costs and redesigning supply chains will likely come to the fore; all of this requires
technology to implement. The digital spending that the pandemic accelerated in 2021 is likely to sustain in 2022 as businesses view
technology as integral to creating and/or retaining competitive advantage and growth. Software and IT Services industry has emerged
as one of the beneficiaries of the post-pandemic adjustment. 2022 is likely to see more of the same. Themes such as cleantech/green
energy, sustainable management, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) have acquired heightened importance and attention.
IT Industry Outlook
After the COVID year (FY21), India IT had its strongest growth year in FY22 in recent years marked by businesses reworking their supply
chains and business architectures in the post-COVID era. Technology became front and centre as clients accelerated their journey
towards becoming future-ready, agile and resilient. FY22 saw record 445,000 net new hires to take the industry workforce to 5 million+
while total industry revenue is estimated to reach US$227 billion in FY22 (15.5% Y-o-Y growth). The share of Digital revenue is at 30-
32% and this pie is growing at 25% p.a. The digital share in revenue has increased to over 56% for some select companies, as, post
pandemic, they are re-orienting their workflows to be more digital-ready. The Top-5 digital areas for India include Cloud Computing, AI,
Cybersecurity, RPA and automation and analytics.
Optimism over FY23 growth carrying over from FY22 stems from global megatrends solidifying further as businesses continue to realize
value and market position from their technology investments. Notably, as per NASSCOM, 90% of corporate respondents intend to either
increase or maintain their hiring in line with FY2022. Indian CXO sentiment, as assessed in NASSCOM’s Enterprise CXO Survey 2022, is
net positive on overall growth - 60% companies plan 6% higher technology spend in FY2022. R&D spending is back in focus, and over
75% CEOs have expressed confidence in achieving double-digit revenue growth in FY2023. Growth opportunities are likely to be driven
by demand for Infrastructure and managed services, consulting services; Platform BPM, data management & RPA; ER&D will see deeper
penetration of engineering cloud as ER&D firms up their Softwarization component. The software product segment will see greater
offtake of productivity software, cybersecurity solutions – as enterprises further Saasify their tech portfolio, in a manner of speaking.
In terms of working model, the technology industry in India is looking at adopting hybrid work model as the default future operating model.
Larger organizations are more likely to adopt a hybrid operating model as compared to organizations with relatively lower headcount.
NASSCOM notes that at an overall level, 70% of tech organizations are looking at adopting hybrid work models. The industry is primed
to hire significantly greater freshers in FY23 to meet demand, flatten the pyramid and manage supply-side pressures.
Gartner expects continued IT services spending in 2022 estimating 6.8% growth with Global technology services spending to exceed
US$1.2 trillion in 2022. Furthermore, Gartner estimates a much above-trend 8.5% revenue CAGR over 2021-2026 for IT Services
spending. Within this, Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) will continue to lead growth with estimated growth CAGR of 28% (over 2021-
2026) followed by IT Services with 8.9% CAGR (5-year over CY21-26). Except for hardware support, all other segments of IT Services
namely consulting, application implementation and managed services, infrastructure implementation and managed services, business
process service are forecasted to robustly grow. Per Gartner’s market size estimation, India IT’s share of the global IT Services pie is
~20%; there appears to be sufficient headroom to continue to increase this.
Mphasis Overview
Mphasis is an Information Technology solutions provider that applies next-generation technology to help enterprises transform
businesses globally. The company was formed in June 2000 after the merger of Mphasis Corporation and BFL Software Limited. In June

Mphasis has the ability to blend deep domain expertise with cutting-edge technology, which has helped cement its position with marquee
clients and build momentum for the future. Its Front2BackTM and Zero Cost Transformation are proven transformation frameworks that
allow it to play across the tech value chain.
Mphasis’ unique tribes-led, competency-based go-to-market (GTM) and solutioning model positions it strongly in digital areas – the
tribes are GTM specialists organized around high-demand tech themes that are instrumental in driving clients’ next-generation tech
agendas. Tribes are institutional and repeatable in their design. Mphasis continually creates new tribes or redesigns existing ones based
on the what it sees as high-potential secular opportunities. Furthermore, Mphasis supports the tribes model with a smart surround- and-
reinforce strategy that characterizes Mphasis’ innovation DNA – including client Chief Technology Officer (CTOs) embedded in key
and promising accounts, the consulting-oriented Technology Advisory Group (TAG), programmatic innovation (harnessing the start-up
ecosystem), focused research and Intellectual Property (IP), (innovation from the labs to the real world), and technology vision provided
by the Mphasis Technology Council (MTC).
Mphasis is organized around accounts, not by traditional vertical/horizontals. There is not the traditional matrix structure of vertical/
horizontals/geos that can weigh down decision-making. This means that Mphasis’ GTM is aligned along the customer as the basic unit
and resource allocation is done at a granular level of the customer. This creates improved agility and responsiveness. The client-centric
agile org design enables Mphasis to successfully focus on account depth reflected in an improving average revenue per client. The depth
over breadth positioning also means Mphasis makes more considered choices regarding its new clients by shortlisting and targeting
those clients that can scale. This is bearing fruit as can be seen in the scale-up of Top-5/10 clients over a sustained time period. The
growth engine has got diversified through FY22 with clients outside the Top-10 also on a strong double-digit growth trajectory. Mphasis
has four clients which contributed >US$100 million in annual revenue (FY22).
Finally, innovation in delivering technology solutions is not possible without the requisite talent transformation. Mphasis has an effective
talent transformation approach appropriate with the new gen positioning. ‘Talent Next’ offers an established, scalable extensive training
program that organically trains, certifies and deploys employees in new gen areas. This aligns delivery capability with GTM/sales and
current/future client priorities. Talent Next builds up skill muscle for transformation. Talent Next nicely facilitates absorbing freshers/
less experienced employees into projects. It is quite versatile in meeting the training and upgradation needs of the diverse workforce of
varying skills, backgrounds, and experience.
Key building blocks that help drive Mphasis’ growth and ensure its sustainability include creating and cultivating talent, executing large
transformative programs, addressable market expansion (organic and inorganic), reimagining business models (e.g., migration to as-a-
service provisioning models) and staying at the forefront of next gen tech using the Tribes and the surrounding ecosystem.

OUTLOOK
The rapidly changing environment that was the backdrop to many world events in the past couple of years, continues to remain so event
at present. In these two years of the global pandemic, the world has witnessed the consequences of the most widely shared economic
crisis on record and a robust recovery the very next year, marking the highest growth rate in more than four decades according to the
UN’s World Economic Situation and Prospects 2022 report. With the emergence of new COVID variants across the globe becoming
a routine, it is heartening that modern medicine, vaccinations and technology have largely helped to decouple and mitigate the link
between mobility and economic growth. While the road to complete economic recovery remains fragile, people and organizations have
adapted to life with the virus, bolstered by the effectiveness of vaccines with ease of living and technology enabled working, resulting
in more resilient economies. While we can expect economies to shift from stimulus spending and policy supports, potentially resulting
in a slower pace for global growth in 2022, a recent report from McKinsey however suggests that the growth will still be faster than the
pre-pandemic levels.
As we step into the third year of the pandemic, the urgent priorities for organizations have seen a marked shift. While 2020 was the year
of adapting to the ‘new normal’ and 2021 was seeking crisis-led opportunities, today, most enterprises are navigating persistent labor
market and supply-chain challenges in the technology decade or ‘techade’ they find themselves in. According to McKinsey, 2022 will
witness more “enterprises capitalizing on sophisticated provider offerings, including customized industry solutions and advances in
digital technology, such as AI, analytics and machine learning.” This analysis is echoed by NASSCOM’s latest report which states that
while enterprises focused on short-term digital transformation projects that had to be implemented rapidly in 2020, the focus in 2021
and beyond has been on larger initiatives with longer time frames while investing in emerging technology segments. It has become
increasingly clear that all businesses will have to reinvent themselves as digital-first businesses to survive in the new world.
The new realities of this world have led to a recalibration and reimagining of your Company’s purpose in the world – To be the Driver
in the Driverless car – where next-gen design, architecture and engineering services deliver scalable and sustainable software and
technology solutions to global enterprises. From this reinvigorated purpose, your Company has renewed its commitment to nurture
and empower employees by fostering a Hi-Tech, Hi-Touch and Hi-Trust environment as part of Mphasis’ value proposition to all of
its stakeholders. The pandemic has more than ever before cast a spotlight on the importance of growth in a sustainable way which is
fundamental to our strategy. With the global pandemic enhancing our role as a leading technology partner, our responsibility of being a
committed corporate citizen, required us to further our formal Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) journey.
Having made strategic bets in next-gen technologies early on, your Company was able to capitalize on the maturity of these investments
to seek out crisis-led opportunities when it mattered the most. Through the pandemic, your Company remained agile, quick to adapt
and willing to go the extra mile for its clients and other stakeholders. With your Company’s help, enterprises were able to accelerate their
digital journeys thereby cementing Mphasis’ position as a preferred technology partner for many clients. As enterprises accelerate the
adoption of digital business and seek more direct digital routes to connect with their customers, the industry’s future growth will be driven
by three factors - growth of the tech services market, shift toward a subscription model of consumption and tech spends originating from
new areas. This has resulted in a tech investing super cycle which is likely to last for the next three to five years. Acceleration in tech
adoption is a great tailwind, but it brings with it a higher risk of obsolescence. For your Company, however, it represents an opportunity
to engineer a better future by partnering with enterprises and enabling all stakeholders to move forward together.

BOARD’S REPORT
Talent Next is a hyper-personalized cognitive automation platform with a ‘recommendation engine for skill acquisition’ that provides
suggestions based on both business requirements as well as employees’ aspirational needs. Further, it is powered by a host of immersive
learning features, social learning ecosystem and diverse learning resources for over 1,000 skills. On the learning adoption, there has been
a two-fold increase as compared to the previous year.
We have continued to invest in employee welfare through policy and budget enhancements in medical and life insurance programs
across the globe. From 24/7 support on insurance during pandemic to Covid-specific policies, we put our employees’ physical and
mental well-being at the front and center. Instead of a bi-annual pay review, we have now implemented a continuous review mechanism
that enables flexibility and skill-based intervention with speed. With the guiding principle of hyper-personalized rewards, our focus on
identified talent segments like specific digital skills, campus hires, leadership etc., has helped us to secure the intended results.
With the changes brought in through accelerated adoption of hybrid work environment, we saw the need to redefine the single purpose
that draws Mphasians across remote teams and geographies to work together every day. Our ‘Hybrid first’ workplace model has
enabled us to think beyond engagement. Our Hi-Touch, Hi-Tech and Hi-Trust proposition stays at the core of all people programs, with
a keen focus on employee experience, wellness, and connections.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
Mphasis CSR is committed to bringing social change by applying the power of technology and disruptive solutions. Our belief is that
the use of technology, tools and resources responsibly can play a transformational role for positive outcomes in the areas of education,
livelihood creation and equitable development. Our 2-pronged approach to sustainability, enables us to deliver value to the community
and our stakeholders, by applying tech for the good of our business and society. This has led us to undertake several CSR programs that
aim to benefit socially excluded and economically disadvantaged target groups, including support towards COVID-19 relief for vulnerable
communities. We have also focused on the larger goal to become a corporate technology partner of choice, for certain Indian higher
educational institutions, to enable the development of demonstrable, applied research projects that are of social relevance, thereby also
bridging the gap between corporate and academia.

Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of
Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of Mphasis Limited (“the Company”) as
of 31 March 2022 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended on
that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2022, based on the internal financial controls
with reference to standalone financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (the “Guidance Note”).
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements
based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under
section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were
established and maintained and whether such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, including the possibility
of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements to future periods are
subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving judgments and the use of assumptions in the
standalone financial statements have been disclosed below:
• Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher
of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (‘DCF’)
model. The cash flows are derived from the internal forecast for future years. These do not include restructuring activities that the
Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance or the CGU being tested
for impairment. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-
inflows and the long-term growth rates.
• Taxes
The Company’s major tax jurisdictions is in India. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations,
changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income of the Company’s operations in India. Given the wide range
of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences
arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future
adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates,
for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates and reflects uncertainties
relating to income taxes, if any. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax
audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of
interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company’s domicile. A
tax assessment could involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax
assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.
• Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are
determined based on an actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary 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, future attrition rates and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved
in the valuation, the underlying assumptions 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.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India,
management considers the interest rates of Government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment
benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. These mortality tables tend to change only at intervals in response
to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
• Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted
prices in active markets, the fair value is measured using appropriate valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken
from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values.
Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these
factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
• Useful lives of property, plant, and equipment
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may
result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.

• Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease based on the requirements of the relevant standard. Identification of
a lease requires significant management judgment. Computation of the lease liabilities and right-to-use assets requires management
to estimate the lease term (including anticipated renewals), and the applicable discount rate. Management estimates the lease term
based on the non-cancellable lease-term, options for future renewals if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise and options to
terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise. In performing this assessment, the discount rate is generally
based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from rendering application development and maintenance services, infrastructure outsourcing
services, call centre and business & knowledge process outsourcing operations and licensing arrangements.
• Revenue from rendering application development and maintenance services comprise income from time-and-material and fixed price
contracts. Revenues from call center and business & knowledge process outsourcing operations arise from time-based, unit-priced
and fixed price contracts. Revenues from infrastructure outsourcing services arise from time-based, unit-priced and fixed price
contracts.
• Revenue from time and material, unit-priced contracts is recognized on an output basis, measured by units delivered, efforts
expended etc.
• Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, calculated as the proportion of the
cost of effort incurred up to the reporting date to estimated cost of total effort.
• Fixed Bid monthly milestone-based recognition – The practical expedient of revenue equals invoicing is applied as the amounts
invoiced directly correspond with the value transferred to the customer.
• Revenue from fixed price maintenance and support services contracts where the Company is standing ready to provide services is
recognized based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight-lined over the period of performance.
• Revenue from license transactions where customers are given a right to use intellectual property are recognised upfront at the point
in time when the license is delivered to the customer, simultaneously with the transfer of control.
• Revenue from bundled contracts is recognized separately for each performance obligation based on their allocated transaction price.
• In cases where implementation and / or customisation services rendered significantly modifies or customises the license, these
services and license are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognised over time using the percentage-
of-completion method, calculated as the proportion of the cost of effort incurred up to the reporting date to estimated cost of total
effort.
• Revenue from the sale of distinct third-party hardware is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

Revenue from sale of services is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts and pricing
incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Sales tax / Value Added Tax (VAT) / Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) is
not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity / service rendered by the
seller on behalf of the Government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenues.
The Company recognises an onerous contract provision when it is probable that the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under
a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as
unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is
required, as per contractual terms. Unearned and deferred revenue (“contract liability”) is recognised when there are billings in excess
of revenues. The billing schedules agreed with customers could include periodic performance-based payments and/or milestone-based
progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period. Advances received for services are reported as
liabilities until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
Contract modifications: Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are
distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price,
or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price.
• Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of
customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as volume discounts, performance bonuses, price concessions
and incentives. The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant
financing component. The Company has applied the practical expedient provided by Ind AS 115, whereby the Company does
not adjust the transaction price for the effects of the time value of money where the period between when the control on goods
and services transferred to the customer and when payment thereof is due, is one year or less. Any consideration payable to the
customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct good or service from the customer. The estimated
amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant
reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
The Company allocates the elements of variable considerations to all the performance obligations of the contract unless there is
observable evidence that they pertain to one or more distinct performance obligations.
• The Company uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company
allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct
good or service promised in the contract. Where standalone selling price is not observable, the Company uses the expected cost-
plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.
• The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period
of time. The Company considers indicators such as how a customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the
asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such good or
service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
• Use of the percentage-of completion method in accounting for fixed-price contracts requires the Company to estimate the efforts or
costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Efforts or costs expended have been used to
measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.
• Contract fulfilment costs are generally expensed as incurred except for certain costs which meet the criteria for capitalisation.
The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular, when considering if costs generate or enhance
resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.

Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the standalone statement of profit and loss using effective interest rate method.
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the dividend is established.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by segment, geography, services rendered, delivery location and
project type.
The Company identifies and determines cost of each component / part of property, plant and equipment separately, if the component/
part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the property, plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different
from that of the remaining asset.
Intangible assets purchased are measured at cost or fair value as of the date of acquisition, as applicable, less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment, if any. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year
end. Internally developed intangible assets are stated at cost that can be measured reliably during the development phase and capitalised
when it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Company.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. Leasehold land is
amortised over the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date are disclosed under
‘other assets’. The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready to use before the balance sheet date is disclosed under ‘Capital work
in progress’.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and
are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the property, plant and equipment is derecognized.

Leases
Company as a lessee
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses
whether:
the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract
to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone prices of the lease components and the aggregate stand-alone price
of the non-lease components.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement
date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease
liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, plus any initial
direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or
restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. 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 asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets
are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever
there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the standalone
statement of profit and loss.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate applicable to
the entity within the Company for the nature of asset taken on lease. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as
the discount rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the
incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall
include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company
is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee
exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing
the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease
modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the
Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of all assets that have a lease
term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as
an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Company as a lessor
When the Company acts as a lessor at the inception, it determines whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In
case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return
on the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease

If an arrangement contains a lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115-Revenue to allocate the consideration
in the contract.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period
of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the year they occur.
Impairment
a. Financial assets (other than at fair value)
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, trade
receivables, contract assets and other financial assets, the Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether the asset is
impaired. Ind AS 109 (‘Financial instruments’) requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. Expected
credit loss is the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted
using the effective interest rate. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and/or all trade receivables.
For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at
an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition. The Company provides for impairment upon the occurrence of the triggering event.
b. Non-financial assets
• Tangible and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication
that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair
value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash
flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash
generating unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset
(or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments consist of the following:
financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, trade receivables, investments in equity and debt
securities and eligible current and non-current assets;
financial liabilities, which include loans and borrowings, finance lease liabilities, bank overdrafts, trade payables, eligible current and
non-current liabilities.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contract that gives rise to financial assets
and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

Interest income is recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss for FVTPL debt instruments. Dividend on financial assets
at FVTPL is recognized when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established.
e. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. For trade and other payables
maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these
instruments.
Derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in standalone statement of profit
and loss as expenses.
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
b. Others
Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the standalone
statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains, net.
Changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of foreign currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which have
not been designated as hedges are recorded as foreign exchange gains/ (losses).

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities.
When a quote is available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that
instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to
provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that
market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses following hierarchy and assumptions that are based on
market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date.
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 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).
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Employee benefits
a. Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits.
Benefits such as salaries, wages etc. and the expected cost of ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders
the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid when there is a present legal or constructive obligation
to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
b. Compensated absences
The Company has a policy on compensated absences that is both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. Non-accumulating
compensated absences are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized in the period in which absences occur. The
cost of short term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates. The expected cost of accumulating compensated
absences is determined by actuarial valuation at each balance sheet date measured based on the amounts expected to be paid
/ availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. The Company treats accumulated
leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefits for measurement purposes. Such

d. Provident fund
Mphasis Limited has established a Provident Fund Trust to which contributions towards provident fund are made on a monthly basis.
The Provident Fund Trust guarantees a specified rate of return on such contributions on a periodical basis. The contributions to the
trust managed by the Company is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as the Company is liable for any shortfall in the fund assets
based on the Government specified minimum rates of return.
e. Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan that provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death,
incapacitation or termination of employment in accordance with “The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972”. The amount is based on the
respective employee’s last drawn salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
Gratuity, which is a defined benefit plan, is determined based on an independent actuarial valuation, which is carried out based
on the projected unit credit method. The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as
an asset or liability. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the
return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past service cost, both vested and unvested, is recognised as an expense
at the earlier of (a) when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs; and (b) when the entity recognises related restructuring costs
or termination benefits. In accordance with Ind AS, re-measurement gains and losses on defined benefit plans recognised in OCI
are not to be subsequently reclassified to standalone statement of profit and loss. As required under Ind AS read with Schedule
III to Companies Act, 2013, the Company transfers it immediately to retained earnings. The discount rate is based on the yield of
securities issued by the Government of India.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using the Black-Scholes
valuation model. The expected term of an option is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual life of the option. Expected
volatility during the expected term of the option is based on the historical volatility of share price of the Company. Risk free interest rates
are based on the government securities yield in effect at the time of the grant.
The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserve in equity,
over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s
best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Debit or credit in standalone statement of profit and loss for
a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in
employee benefits expense.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Foreign Currencies
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated
monetary assets and liabilities are restated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.
177
ANNUAL REPORT • 2022
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0CDFA5D2-39C1-4FCE-B596-D0A716D2E898
Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period
in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the
relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and
deferred tax are recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, respectively.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower
than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the
lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is
established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the Company’s owners for the year by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year adjusted for treasury shares held.
The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving
basic earnings per share, and the weighted average number of equity shares which could be issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless they have been
issued at a later date.
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised, and
the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval
by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Government grants
The Company recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be
complied with, and the grants will be received. When the grant relates to a capital asset, it is presented by deducting the grant in arriving
at the carrying amount of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in net profit in the
standalone statement of profit and loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to
compensate.
Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 vide Notification dated
23 March 2022. Following amendments and annual improvements to Ind AS are applicable from 1 April 2022.
The amendment specifies that for identified assets and liabilities to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method,
the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework
for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India at the acquisition date.
The amendment clarifies that sale proceeds of items produced in the process of making PPE available for its intended use cannot be
deducted from the cost of PPE. Instead, such proceeds shall be recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Ind AS - 37 Provisions
The amendment clarifies that the ‘costs to fulfil’ a contract include both incremental costs (direct labour and material) and an allocation
of other direct costs (e.g: depreciation charge for an item of PPE used in fulfilling the contract).
The amendment clarifies while performing the ’10 percent test’ for derecognition of financial liabilities, borrower includes only fees paid
or received between borrower and lender directly or on behalf of the other’s behalf.
The Company does not expect the above amendments / improvements to have any significant impact on its standalone financial
statements.

Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related
disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognized corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance
completed to date, typically those contracts where invoicing is on time and material, unit price basis and fixed monthly billing.
The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as of 31 March 2022 is ` 12,713.00 million
(31 March 2021: ` 8,714.00 million). Out of this, the Company expects to recognize revenue of around 42% (31 March 2021: 34%) within

b. Provident Fund
In accordance with Indian law, all eligible employees of the Company in India are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund
plan in which both the employee and employer (at a determined rate) contribute monthly to a Trust set up by the Company to manage the
investments and distribute the amounts entitled to employees. This plan is a defined benefit plan as the Company is obligated to provide
its members a rate of return which should, at the minimum, meet the interest rate declared by Government administered provident fund.
A part of the Company’s contribution is transferred to Government administered pension fund. The contributions made by the Company
and the shortfall of interest, if any, are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss under employee benefit expenses. In
accordance with an actuarial valuation of provident fund liabilities on the basis of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of India and based
on the assumptions as mentioned below, there is no deficiency in the interest cost as the present value of the expected future earnings of
the fund is greater than the expected amount to be credited to the individual members based on the expected guaranteed rate of interest
of Government administered provident fund.
The Company has carried out actuarial valuation only for defined benefit plan as at 31 March 2022. The actuary has provided a valuation
for provident fund liabilities and based on the assumptions mentioned below, there is no shortfall in plan assets as at 31 March 2022
and 31 March 2021.
The amount of plan assets disclosed below have been restricted to the extent of present value of benefit obligation at the year end.
The details of the fund and plan asset position are given below:

The Company contributed ` 994.74 million during the year ended 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: ` 659.05 million).
c. Social Security
The Code on Social Security 2020 (‘Code’), which received the Presidential Assent on 28 September 2020, subsumes nine regulations
relating to social security, retirement, and employee benefits. The Code will have an impact on the contributions towards gratuity and
provident fund made by the Company. The Ministry of Labour and Employment (‘Ministry’) has released draft rules for the Code on
13 November 2020 and has invited suggestions from stake holders. The suggestions received are under consideration by the Ministry.
The effective date of the Code has not yet been notified and the related rules to ascertain the financial impact are yet to be finalized
and notified. The Company will assess the impact once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in its financial
statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published.

The Company has a risk management policy/ framework which covers risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The risk
management policy/ framework is approved by the Treasury Committee. The focus of such framework is to assess the unpredictability
of the financial environment and to mitigate potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial
loss. Credit risk encompasses both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration
of risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities
including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments, derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk on account of financial guarantee given on behalf on of its subsidiaries [Refer note 30(c)].
Trade receivables
Credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policies, procedures and controls relating to customer
credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Three customer group have accounted for more than
10% of the trade receivable for the years ended 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: Three customer groups).

LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to
maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity
are cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, current investments and the cash flow that is
generated from operations. The Company believes that these sources are sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no
liquidity risk is perceived.
The break-up of cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments is as below.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
exchange rates. The Company’s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily
in United States Dollars (‘USD’). The Company also has exposures to Great Britain Pound (‘GBP’) and Euros (‘EUR”)). The Company’s
exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities and financing activities
(when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its forecasted cash flows and trade receivables.
Below is the summary of foreign currency exposure of Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
The counter party for these transactions are banks. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair values:
• The fair values of the quoted investments are based on price quotations at the reporting date.
• The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange
rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. Foreign exchange forward contracts
& non-convertible debentures are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The
models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates. 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.
The Company has entered into derivative instruments not in hedging relationships by way of foreign exchange forwards. As at 31 March
2022 and 31 March 2021, the notional amount of outstanding contracts aggregated to ` 12,989.60 million and ` 8,560.48 million,
respectively and the respective fair value of these contracts have a net gain of ` 3.22 million and ` 65.42 million respectively.
