non-routine activities. Risk assessment includes quarterly evaluation of incidents that have occurred. Hazardous condition, if any, are identified and prioritized for elimination and
control. Once the identified hierarchy of controls is implemented, the risk assessment is revisited to assess the residual risks. As Infosys is an IT / ITES company, there are no product
risks, but there are those related to the provision of services like ergonomics in work and those associated with the operation of utilities and employee commute. Participation and
consultation with relevant personnel involved in the activities is ensured during the risk assessments.
Risks are also assessed prior to and post the development of new buildings. Experience from previous projects and current operations are also considered. We continually monitor
our construction sites where infrastructure is being established.

Introduction
We (‘KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP’, or ‘KPMG’) have been engaged by Infosys Limited (‘Infosys’ or ‘the Company’) for
the purpose of providing an independent assurance on the non-financial sustainability disclosures presented in the Integrated Report
(‘the Report’ or ‘IR report’) for the reporting period covering 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023 (“the Year’’ or “the Reporting Period”). Our
responsibility was to provide independent assurance on the Report content as described in the scope, boundary, and limitations.

completeness, reliability, neutrality, and understandability.
• Limited assurance consists primarily of enquiries and analytical procedures. The procedures performed in a limited assurance
engagement vary in nature and timing and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement.
• Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not a guarantee that it will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists.
• A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (revised) and ISAE 3410 involves performing procedures to obtain
evidence about the quantification of emissions and related information in ‘the Report’.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility and
Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the consolidated financial statements,
standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation
of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including
other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring
the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of
Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 financial 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 standalone 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 the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
(b) The Management has represented, that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no funds (which are material either
individually or in the aggregate) have been received by the Company from any person or entity, including foreign
entity (“Funding Parties”), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Company shall,
whether, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on
behalf of the Funding Party (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the
Ultimate Beneficiaries;
(c) Based on the audit procedures that have been considered reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, nothing
has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11(e), as
provided under (a) and (b) above, contain any material misstatement.
v. As stated in Note 2.12.3 to the standalone financial statements
(a) The final dividend proposed in the previous year, declared and paid by the Company during the year is in accordance
with Section 123 of the Act, as applicable.
(b) The interim dividend declared and paid by the Company during the year and until the date of this report is in
compliance with Section 123 of the Act.
(c) The Board of Directors of the Company have proposed final dividend for the year which is subject to the approval of
the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The amount of dividend proposed is in accordance with section
123 of the Act, as applicable.
vi. Proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 for maintaining books of account using accounting software
which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility is applicable to the Company with effect from April 1, 2023,
and accordingly, reporting under Rule 11(g) of Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 is not applicable for the
financial year ended March 31, 2023.
2. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (the “Order”) issued by the Central Government in terms of Section
143(11) of the Act, we give in “Annexure B” a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order.

Auditor’s 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 on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the ICAI 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 was 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 standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone
financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial
statements, 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 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 over financial reporting, 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 control 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.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an
adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the criteria for internal financial control
with reference to standalone financial statements 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 ICAI.

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance-based options, and
Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR-based options.
The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected
term and the risk-free rate of interest. Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of
the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the
options. Expected volatility of the comparative company have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of
their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated
between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.
The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions :
The expected life of the RSU / ESOP is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term of the RSU / ESOP, as well as expected
exercise behavior of the employee who receives the RSU / ESOP.
Accrued expenses primarily relate to cost of technical sub-contractors, telecommunication charges, legal and professional charges,
brand building expenses, overseas travel expenses and office maintenance.

2.27 Ratios
The ratios for the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 are as follows :
• We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to the (a) identification of distinct performance obligations, (b)
determination of whether the Group is acting as a principal or an agent and (c) determination of whether fixed price
maintenance revenue for certain contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis or using the percentage of completion
method.
• We selected a sample of contracts with customers and performed the following procedures:
– Obtained and read contract documents for each selection, including master service agreements, and other documents
that were part of the agreement.
– Identified significant terms and deliverables in the contract to assess management’s conclusions regarding the (i)
identification of distinct performance obligations (ii) whether the Group is acting as a principal or an agent and
(iii) whether fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis or using the percentage of
completion method.
• We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to (1) recording of efforts or costs incurred and estimation of efforts
or costs required to complete the remaining contract performance obligations and (2) access and application controls
pertaining to time recording, allocation and budgeting systems which prevents unauthorised changes to recording of
efforts incurred.
• We selected a sample of fixed price contracts with customers measured the using percentage-of-completion method and
performed the following:
– Evaluated management’s ability to reasonably estimate the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation
by comparing actual efforts or costs incurred to prior year estimates of efforts or costs budgeted for performance
obligations that have been fulfilled.
– Compared efforts or costs incurred with Group’s estimate of efforts or costs incurred to date to identify significant
variations and evaluate whether those variations have been considered appropriately in estimating the remaining costs
or efforts to complete the contract.
– Tested the estimate for consistency with the status of delivery of milestones and customer acceptances and sign off
from customers to identify possible delays in achieving milestones, which require changes in estimated costs or efforts
to complete the remaining performance obligations.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business
Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the consolidated
financial statements, standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
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, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during
the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and
presentation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated
financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the
Group in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Boards of Directors
of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the companies included in the Group are
responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities 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 Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their
respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Boards of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
process of the Group.
• 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 financial 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
and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls with reference to
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 the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the
Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify
our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our
work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial
statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
ii) The Group has made provision as required under applicable law or accounting standards for material foreseeable
losses. (Refer Note 2.16 to the consolidated financial statements). The Group did not have any long-term
derivative contracts.
iii) There has been no delay in transferring amounts, required to be transferred, to the Investor Education and Protection
Fund by the Company and its subsidiary companies incorporated in India.
iv) (a) The respective Managements of the Company and its subsidiaries which are companies incorporated in India,
whose financial statements have been audited under the Act, have represented to us that, to the best of their
knowledge and belief, no funds (which are material either individually or in the aggregate) have been advanced
or loaned or invested (either from borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the
Company or any of such subsidiaries to or in any other person or entity, outside the Group, including foreign entity
(“Intermediaries”), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall,
directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf
of the Company or any of such subsidiaries (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the like
on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.
(b) The respective Managements of the Company and its subsidiaries which are companies incorporated in India,
whose financial statements have been audited under the Act, have represented to us that, to the best of their
knowledge and belief, no funds (which are material either individually or in the aggregate) have been received by
the Company or any of such subsidiaries from any person or entity, including foreign entity (“Funding Parties”),
with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Company or any of such subsidiaries
shall, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on
behalf of the Funding Party (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the
Ultimate Beneficiaries.
(c) Based on the audit procedures that have been considered reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances
performed by us on the Company and its subsidiaries which are companies incorporated in India whose financial
statements have been audited under the Act, nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that
the representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11(e), as provided under (a) and (b) above, contain any
material misstatement.
v) As stated in Note 2.12.3 to the consolidated financial statements
a. The final dividend proposed in the previous year, declared and paid by the Company during the year is in
accordance with Section 123 of the Act, as applicable.
b. The interim dividend declared and paid by the Company during the year and until the date of this report is in
compliance with Section 123 of the Act.
c. The Board of Directors of the Company have proposed final dividend for the year which is subject to the
approval of the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The amount of dividend proposed is in
accordance with section 123 of the Act, as applicable.

software which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility is applicable with effect from April 1, 2023 to the
Company and its subsidiaries, which are companies incorporated in India, and accordingly, reporting under Rule 11(g)

2. With respect to the matters specified in paragraphs 3(xxi) and 4 of the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (the “Order”/
“CARO”) issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, to be included in the Auditor’s report, according
to the information and explanations given to us, and based on the CARO reports issued by us for the Company and its subsidiaries
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, to which reporting under CARO is applicable, we report that
there are no qualifications or adverse remarks in these CARO reports.

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 was 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 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 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 of the Company and its subsidiary companies, which are
companies incorporated in India.
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 control 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.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company and its subsidiary
companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls with
reference to Consolidated Financial Statements and such internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements
were operating effectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the criteria for internal financial control with reference to Consolidated
Financial Statements established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance-based options and
Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR-based options.
The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected
term and the risk-free rate of interest. Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of
the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the
options. Expected volatility of the comparative company have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of
their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated
between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.
The fair value of each equity-settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions :

Notes
1. Pursuant to the General Circular No. 10/2022 dated December 28, 2022, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Circular
SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD-2/P/CIR/2023/4 dated January 5, 2023 issued by SEBI (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Circulars”),
companies are allowed to hold AGM through VC, without the physical presence of members at a common venue. Hence, in
compliance with the Circulars, the AGM of the Company is being held through VC.
2. A member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on his / her behalf and the proxy
need not be a member of the Company. Since the AGM is being held in accordance with the Circulars through VC, the facility for the
appointment of proxies by the members will not be available.
3. Participation of members through VC will be reckoned for the purpose of quorum for the AGM as per Section 103 of the Act.
4. Members of the Company under the category of Institutional Investors are encouraged to attend and vote at the AGM through VC.
Corporate members intending to authorize their representatives to participate and vote at the meeting are requested to send a
certified copy of the Board resolution / authorization letter to the Scrutinizer by email to [email protected] with a copy marked to
[email protected].
5. The register of directors and key managerial personnel (KMP) and their shareholding, maintained under Section 170 of the Act, and
the register of contracts or arrangements in which the directors are interested, maintained under Section 189 of the Act, will be
available electronically for inspection by the members during the AGM. All documents referred to in the Notice will also be available
for electronic inspection without any fee from the date of circulation of this Notice up to the date of AGM, i.e. June 28, 2023. Members
seeking to inspect such documents can send an email to [email protected].
6. Members whose shareholding is in electronic mode are requested to notify any change in address or bank account details to their
respective depository participant(s) (DP). Members whose shareholding is in physical mode are requested to opt for the Electronic
Clearing System (ECS) mode to receive dividend on time in line with the Circulars. We urge members to utilize the ECS for receiving
dividends. Please refer to point no. 16 for the process to be followed for updating bank account details.
7. Members may note that the Board, at its meeting held on April 13, 2023, has recommended a final dividend of ₹17.5 per share. The
record date for the purpose of final dividend for fiscal 2023 is June 2, 2023. The final dividend, once approved by the members in the
ensuing AGM, will be paid on July 3, 2023, electronically through various online transfer modes to those members who have updated
their bank account details. For members who have not updated their bank account details, dividend warrants / demand drafts /
cheques will be sent to their registered addresses. To avoid delay in receiving dividend, members are requested to update their KYC
with their depositories (where shares are held in dematerialized mode) and with the Company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA)
(where shares are held in physical mode) to receive the dividend directly into their bank account on the payout date.
8. Members may note that the Income-tax Act, 1961, (“the IT Act”) as amended by the Finance Act, 2020, mandates that dividend paid or
distributed by a company on or after April 1, 2020 shall be taxable in the hands of members. The Company shall therefore be required
to deduct tax at source (TDS) at the time of making the payment of final dividend. To enable us to determine the appropriate TDS
rate as applicable, members are requested to submit relevant documents, as specified in the below paragraphs, in accordance with
the provisions of the IT Act.
Members having valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) 10%* or as notified by the Government of India (GOI)
Members not having PAN / valid PAN 20% or as notified by the GOI
* As per the Finance Act, 2021, Section 206AB has been inserted effective July 1, 2021, wherein the higher rate of tax (twice the specified rate) would be
applicable on payment made to a shareholder who is classified as ‘Specified Person’ as defined under section 206AB of the Finance Act, 2021.
* As per section 139AA of the IT Act, every person who has been allotted a PAN and who is eligible to obtain Aadhaar, shall be required to link the PAN with
Aadhaar. In case of failure to comply with this, the PAN allotted shall be deemed to be invalid / inoperative and he shall be liable to all consequences under
the IT Act and tax shall be deducted at the higher rates as prescribed under the IT Act.
However, no tax shall be deducted on the dividend payable to resident individual shareholders if the total dividend to be received
by them during financial year 2023-24 does not exceed ₹5,000, and also in cases where members provide Form 15G / Form 15H (Form
15H is applicable to resident individual shareholders aged 60 years or more) subject to conditions specified in the IT Act. Resident
shareholders may also submit any other document as prescribed under the IT Act to claim a lower / nil withholding of tax. PAN is
mandatory for members providing Form 15G / 15H or any other document as mentioned above.
For non-resident shareholders, taxes are required to be withheld in accordance with the provisions of Section 195 and other
applicable sections of the IT Act, at the rates in force. The withholding tax shall be at the rate of 20%** (plus applicable surcharge
and cess) or as notified by the GOI on the amount of dividend payable. However, as per Section 90 of the IT Act, non‑resident
shareholders have the option to be governed by the provisions of the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), read with
Multilateral Instrument (MLI) between India and the country of tax residence of the shareholders, if they are more beneficial to them.
For this purpose, i.e. to avail the benefits under the DTAA read with MLI, non-resident shareholders will have to provide the following:
• Copy of the PAN card allotted by the Indian income tax authorities duly attested by the shareholders or details as prescribed
under rule 37BC of the Income-tax Rules, 1962

e-filing portal of the income tax website at https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal
• Self-declaration by the shareholders of having no permanent establishment in India in accordance with the applicable tax treaty
• Self-declaration of beneficial ownership by the non-resident shareholder
• Any other documents as prescribed under the IT Act for lower withholding of taxes, if applicable, duly attested by the
shareholders
In case of Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) / Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI), tax will be deducted under Section 196D of the IT Act
at the rate of 20%** (plus applicable surcharge and cess) or the rate provided in relevant DTAA, read with MLI, whichever is more
beneficial, subject to the submission of the above documents, if applicable.
** As per the Finance Act, 2021, Section 206AB has been inserted effective July 1, 2021, wherein the higher rate of tax (twice the specified rate) would be
applicable on payment made to a shareholder who is classified as ‘Specified Person’ as defined under the provisions of the aforesaid Section. However, in
case of a non-resident shareholder or a non-resident FPI / FII, the higher rate of tax as mentioned in section 206AB shall not apply if such non-resident does
not have a permanent establishment in India.
