Exhibit 99.10
Ind AS Consolidated
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF INFOSYS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying
consolidated financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, (the Company and
its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”) which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2020, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated Statement of Changes
in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the
best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements, give the
information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view
in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2020, the consolidated profit, consolidated total comprehensive
income, consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that,
in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter |
Auditor’s Response |
| 1 |
Fixed price contracts using the
percentage of completion method
|
Principal Audit Procedures |
| |
Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized
either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period
or using percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from services rendered to the customer and Group’s
costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and
not repetitive.
Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe
contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time has been recognized using the percentage-of-completion method.
Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion
of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion
as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant
judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.
Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable
based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.
We identified the estimate of total efforts
or efforts to complete fixed price contracts measured using the percentage of completion method as a key audit matter as the estimation
of efforts or costs involves significant judgement throughout the period of the contract and is subject to revision as the contract
progresses based on the latest available information. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requires consideration
of progress of the contract, efforts or costs incurred to-date and estimates of efforts or costs required to complete the remaining
contract performance obligations over the lives of the contracts.
Refer Notes 1.5(a) and 2.16 to the consolidated
financial statements.
|
Our audit procedures related to estimates
of total expected costs or efforts to complete for fixed-price contracts included the following, among others:
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 accounted using percentage-of-completion method and performed the following:
·
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. |

Auditor’s Response |
| 2 |
Allowance for credit losses
The Group determines the allowance for
credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group
considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where
it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information
for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from
the pandemic relating to COVID -19.
We identified allowance for credit losses
as a key audit matter because the Group exercises significant judgment in calculating the expected credit losses.
Refer Notes 1.5(h), 2.7 and 2.10 to the
consolidated financial statements.
|
Principal Audit Procedures
Our audit procedures related to the allowance
for credit losses for trade receivables and unbilled revenue included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls
over the (1) development of the methodology for the allowance for credit losses, including consideration of the current and estimated
future economic conditions (2) completeness and accuracy of information used in the estimation of probability of default and (3)
computation of the allowance for credit losses.
For a sample of customers:
We tested the input data such as credit
reports and other credit related information used in estimating the probability of default by comparing them to external and internal
sources of information.
We tested the mathematical accuracy and
computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by the Group.
|
Emphasis of Matter
As more fully described in Note 2.22
to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is responding to inquiries from Indian regulatory authorities. The scope,
duration or outcome of these matters are uncertain.
Our opinion is not modified in respect
of this matter.
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 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 and in doing so, 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.
Management’s Responsibilities
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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with
SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| • | 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 system 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. |
| • | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure
and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| • | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included
in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. |
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.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Accounting policy
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past
or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated. The Group considers all highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Overview

a leading provider of consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, enabling clients to execute strategies
for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the
agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy
is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled
trusts is hereinafter referred to as 'the Group'.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated
and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics city, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The Company
has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary
Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The Group's consolidated financial statements
are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on April 20, 2020.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except
for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') (to
the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under
Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment
rules issued thereafter.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied
except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires
a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
As the year figures are taken from the source
and rounded to the nearest digits, the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year figures reported
in this statement.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns
or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and
its subsidiaries, as disclosed in Note no. 2.23. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights,
to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the
entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly
affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
The financial statements of the Group Companies
are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions
are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the
Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly
or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Company, are excluded.
1.4 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements
in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgements and
assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgements
and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note no. 1.5. Accounting estimates could change
from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management
becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements
in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
Estimation of uncertainties relating to the
global health pandemic from COVID-19 (COVID-19) :
The Group has considered the possible effects
that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of receivables, unbilled revenues, goodwill and
intangible assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions
because of this pandemic, the Group, as at the date of approval of these financial statements has used internal and external sources
of information including credit reports and related information, economic forecasts and consensus estimates from market sources
on the expected future performance of the Group . The Group has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based
on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Group's financial
statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
a. Revenue recognition
The Group’s contracts with customers include
promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition
and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed
to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services
promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance
obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and
allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement.
Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized
ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period.
Revenue from fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of
benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period
of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance
revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables.
The Group uses the percentage-of-completion
method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine
the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or
costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.
The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to
reflect any changes based on the latest available information.
Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on
uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to
complete the contract.
b. Income taxes
The Company's two major tax jurisdictions are
India and the U.S., though the Company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions.
Significant judgements are involved in determining
the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note
no. 2.15 and 2.22
In assessing the realizability of deferred income
tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected
future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and
projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes
that the group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are
reduced.
c. Business combinations and intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using
Ind AS 103, Business Combinations. Ind AS 103 requires the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to be fair
valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.
Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible
assets. These valuations are conducted by independent valuation experts. 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 (Refer to
Note no 2.1 and 2.3.2).
d. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant
proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate
of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual
values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at
each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events,
which may impact their life, such as changes in technology (Refer to Note no 2.2).
e. Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual
basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGUs) is less than its carrying
amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition
and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined
based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell.
Key assumptions in the cash flow projections
are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital
and estimated operating margins. (Refer to Note no 2.3.1)
f. Non-current assets and Disposal Group
held for sale
Assets and liabilities of Disposal Groups held
for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs
to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the Disposal Groups have been estimated using valuation
techniques including income and market approach which includes unobservable inputs.
Non-current assets and Disposal Group that ceases
to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the Non-current asset and Disposal Group
was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the Disposal
Group no longer meets the " Held for sale" criteria. Recoverable amounts of assets reclassified from held for sale have
been estimated using management’s assumptions which consist of significant unobservable inputs (Refer to Note no 2.1.2).
g. Leases
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the
lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such
option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses
whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease
term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating
to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Infosys’s operations taking into account the
location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed
to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions,
the Group has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts (Refer to Note no.
2.19).
h. Loss allowance for receivables and unbilled
revenues
The Group determines the allowance for credit
losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considered
current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.
In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its
customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic
relating to COVID -19.
2.1 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSAL GROUP
HELD FOR SALE
2.1.1 Business combinations
Accounting policy
Business combinations have been accounted for
using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the
fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition,
which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent
consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting
date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders
is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s
identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition,
the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling
interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.
The payments related to options issued by the Group over the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial
liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured
at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event
that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognised.
Business combinations between entities under
common control is accounted for at carrying value of the assets and liabilities in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection
with a business combination such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting
fees are expensed as incurred.

2.1.2. Disposal group held for sale
Accounting policy
Non-current assets and Disposal Group are classified
as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use.
The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non-current asset or the Disposal Group is available for immediate
sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. Non-current
assets and Disposal Group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current
assets and Disposal Group that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before
the non-current asset and Disposal Group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable
amount at the date when the Disposal Group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.
In the year ended March 2018, the Company had
initiated identification and evaluation of potential buyers for its subsidiaries, Kallidus and Skava (together referred to as "Skava”)
and Panaya, collectively referred to as the “Disposal Group”. The Disposal Group was classified and presented separately
as “held for sale” and was carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value. During the year ended March 31, 2019,
on remeasurement, including consideration of progress in negotiations on offers from prospective buyers for Panaya, the Company
has recorded a reduction in the fair value of Disposal Group held for sale amounting to 270 crore in respect of Panaya.
Further, based on evaluation of proposals received
and progress of negotiations with potential buyers, the Company concluded that the Disposal Group does not meet the criteria for
“Held for Sale’ classification because it is no longer highly probable that sale would be consummated by March 31,
2019 ( twelve months from date of initial classification as “held for sale”). Accordingly, in accordance with Ind AS
105 -" Non current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations", the assets and liabilities of Panaya and Skava
have been included on a line by line basis in the consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2019.
On reclassification from “Held for sale”,
the assets of Panaya and Skava have been remeasured at the lower of cost and recoverable amount resulting in recognition of an
adjustment in respect of excess of carrying amount over recoverable amount on reclassification from "Held for Sale" of
451 crore (comprising of 358 crore towards goodwill and 93 crore towards value of customer relationships)
in respect of Skava in the consolidated statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2019.
2.2 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Accounting policy
Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the
property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Buildings (1) |
22-25 years |
| Plant and machinery (1)(2) |
5 years |
| Office equipment |
5 years |
| Computer equipment (1) |
3-5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures (1) |
5 years |
| Vehicles(1) |
5 years |
| Leasehold improvements |
Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term |
| (1) | | Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as
given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets
is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. |
| (2) | | Includes Solar plant with a useful life of 20 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual
values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property,
plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and
the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures
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. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in
the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from
the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment
Property, plant and equipment are evaluated
for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For
the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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 such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying
value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of
the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
The changes in the carrying value of property,
plant and equipment for the year ended March 31, 2020 were as follows:

2.3 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
2.3.1 Goodwill
Accounting policy
Goodwill represents the purchase consideration
in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired
entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase
consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase excess is recognized in capital reserve.
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual
basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying
amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGU’s which benefit from the synergies of
the acquisition. 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.
Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated
first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis
of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
Following is a summary of changes in the carrying
amount of goodwill:
(In crore)

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill
acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
The Group internally reviews the goodwill for impairment at the operating segment level, after allocation of the goodwill to CGU’s
or groups of CGUs.
The following table presents the allocation of
goodwill to operating segments as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 respectively:
(In crore)

2,599 |
Consequent to reclassification from held for
sale (refer note no 2.1.2), the goodwill pertaining to Panaya, Kallidus and Skava acquisitions are tested for impairment at the
respective entity level, which amounts to 1,022 crore and 941 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher
of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value of a CGU is determined based on the market capitalization.
Value-in-use is determined based on discounted future cash flows. The key assumptions used for the calculations are as follows:
(in %)
| |
As at |
| |
March 31, 2020 |
March 31, 2019 |
| Long term growth rate |
7-10 |
8-10 |
| Operating margins |
17-20 |
17-20 |
| Discount rate |
11.9 |
12.5 |
The above discount rate is based on the Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of the Company. As at March 31, 2020, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying
amount. Reasonable sensitivities in key assumptions consequent to the change in estimated future economic conditions on account
of possible effects relating to Covid 19 is unlikely to cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit.
2.3.2 Other intangible assets
Accounting policy
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line
basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on
a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability
of the industry, and known technological advances). Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at
each financial year end.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software
product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated,
future economic benefits are probable, the Group has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the
costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs
that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.
Impairment
Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment
testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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 CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying
value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of
the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

of acquired intangible assets for the year ended March 31, 2020:

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting policy
2.10.1 Initial recognition
The Group recognizes financial assets and financial
liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized
at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at
fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial
assets are accounted for at trade date.
2.10.2 Subsequent measurement
a. Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortized
cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at
amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash
flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
A financial asset is subsequently measured at
fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting
contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable
election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other
comprehensive income based on its business model.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in
any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried
at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option
arrangements recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. For trade
and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to
the short maturity of these instruments.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments
such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities,
at fair value through profit or loss.
This category has derivative financial assets
or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the Group believes that these derivatives
constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments.
Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized
as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized
initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss
and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as
current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the
Balance Sheet date.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The Group designates certain foreign exchange
forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast
cash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow
hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized
immediately in the net profit in the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria
for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated
or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the
hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously
recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss upon
the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount
accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.10.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies
for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's
Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
2.10.4 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial
instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each
reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices
and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually
be realized.
Refer to table 'Financial instruments by category'
below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities
maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximates
fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
2.10.5 Impairment
The Group recognizes loss allowances using the
expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss.
Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal
to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been
a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of
ECLs (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised
is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

A one percentage point change in the unobservable
inputs used in fair valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities does not have a significant impact in its value.
Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety
of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of
financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group
is foreign exchange risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration
of risk from the top few customers.
Market risk
The Group operates internationally and a major
portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through
its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of
changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has
changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Group’s
operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.

Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments
such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. 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.

currency forward and option contracts are as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Group
has designated certain foreign exchange forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange
exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedges as of March
31, 2020 are expected to occur and reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit and loss within 3 months.
The Group determines the existence of an economic
relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of its forecasted cash flows.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments
to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument
is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes
is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting,
the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged
item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and
accounted for in the statement of profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.

of cash flow hedge reserve for the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on
its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date
is primarily from trade receivables amounting to 18,487 crore and 14,827 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31,
2019, respectively and unbilled revenues amounting to 7,121 crore and 5,374 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019, respectively. Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues from customers
primarily located in the United States of America. Credit risk has always been managed by the Group through credit approvals, establishing
credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal
course of business. The Group uses the expected credit loss model to assess any required allowances; and uses a provision matrix
to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The matrix takes into account available
external and internal credit risk information such as CDS spread quotes, ratings from international credit rating agencies and
the Group's historical collection experience for customers.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced
mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. Exposure to
customers is diversified and there is no single customer contributing more than 10% of outstanding trade receivables and unbilled
revenues.
The following table gives details in respect
of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top ten customers:

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is
limited as the Group generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high ratings assigned by international
and domestic credit rating agencies. Ratings are monitored periodically and the Group has considered the latest available credit
ratings in view of COVID – 19 as at the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Majority of investments of the Group are fair
valued based on Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. These investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, fixed maturity
plan securities, certificates of deposit, commercial papers, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi-government organizations
and non convertible debentures. The Group invests after considering counterparty risks based on multiple criteria including Tier
I Capital, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Credit Rating, Profitability, NPA levels and Deposit base of banks and financial institutions.
These risks are monitored regularly as per its risk management program.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the
Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time.
The Group's principal sources of liquidity are
cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group has no outstanding borrowings. The Group
believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.
As at March 31, 2020, the Group had a working
capital of 33,720 crore including cash and cash equivalents of 18,649 crore and current investments of 4,655
crore. As at March 31, 2019, the Group had a working capital of 34,240 crore including cash and cash equivalents of 19,568
crore and current investments of 6,627 crore.
As at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the
outstanding compensated absences were 1,870 crore and 1,663 crore, respectively, which have been substantially funded.
Accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.

2.11 EQUITY
Accounting policy
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental
costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognized as a deduction from
equity, net of any tax effects.
Treasury Shares
When any entity within the Group purchases the
company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction
from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount
received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from
Securities premium.
In December 2017, Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes
was amended which clarified that an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified
as equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits
were recognized. On April 1, 2019, the Group adopted these amendments and there was no impact of these amendments on the Company’s
Consolidated financial statements.
Description of reserves
Retained earnings
Retained earnings represent the amount of accumulated
earnings of the Group.
Securities premium
The amount received in excess of the par value
has been classified as securities premium.
Share Options Outstanding Account
The Share options outstanding account is used
to record the fair value of equity-settled share based payment transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share options
outstanding account are transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock options and transferred to general reserve on
account of stock options not exercised by employees.
Other Reserves
The Special Economic Zone Re-investment reserve
has been created out of the profit of the eligible SEZ unit in terms of the provisions of Sec 10AA (1)(ii) of Income Tax Act,
1961. The reserve should be utilized by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business in terms
of the provisions of the Sec 10AA (2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Capital Redemption Reserve
In accordance with section 69 of the Indian
Companies Act, 2013, the Company creates capital redemption reserve equal to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an
appropriation from general reserve.

translation, remeasurement of net defined benefit liability / asset, equity instruments fair valued through other comprehensive
income, changes on fair valuation of investments and changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, net of
taxes.
Currency translation reserve
The exchange differences arising from the translation
of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries with functional currency other than Indian rupees is recognised in other comprehensive
income and is presented within equity.
Cash flow hedge reserve
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow
hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income

The Company has only one class of shares referred
to as equity shares having a par value of 5/-. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The equity
shares represented by American Depositary Shares (ADS) carry similar rights to voting and dividends as the other equity shares.
Each ADS represents one underlying equity share.
In the event of liquidation of the Company,
the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the Company in proportion to the number
of equity shares held by the shareholders, after distribution of all preferential amounts. However, no such preferential amounts
exist currently, other than the amounts held by irrevocable controlled trusts. For irrevocable controlled trusts, the corpus would
be settled in favour of the beneficiaries.
For details of shares reserved for issue under
the employee stock option plan of the Company refer to the note below
In the period of five years immediately preceding
March 31, 2020:
Bonus Issue
The Company has allotted 2,18,41,91,490 , 1,14,84,72,332
and 57,42,36,166 fully paid-up shares of face value 5/- each during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 , June 30, 2015
and December 31, 2014, respectively pursuant to bonus issue approved by the shareholders through postal ballot. The bonus shares
were issued by capitalization of profits transferred from general reserve. Bonus share of one equity share for every equity share
held, and a bonus issue, viz., a stock dividend of one American Depositary Share (ADS) for every ADS held, respectively, has been
allotted. Consequently, the ratio of equity shares underlying the ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt holder remains unchanged.
Options granted under the stock option plan have been adjusted for bonus shares wherever appropriate.
The bonus shares once allotted shall rank pari
passu in all respects and carry the same rights as the existing equity shareholders and shall be entitled to participate in full,
in any dividend and other corporate action, recommended and declared after the new equity shares are allotted.
Update on capital allocation policy and buyback
In line with the capital allocation policy announced
in April 2018, the Board, in its meeting held on January 11, 2019, approved the following :
(a) Declared a special dividend of 4/-
per equity share;
| (b) | | Recommended buyback of Equity Shares from the open market route through Indian stock
exchanges of up to 8,260 crore (Maximum Buyback Size) at a price not exceeding 800 per share (Maximum Buyback Price)
which would comprise approximately 2.36% of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company, subject to shareholders' approval
by way of Postal Ballot. |
The shareholders approved the proposal of buyback
of equity shares recommended by its Board of Directors in its meeting held on January 11, 2019 through the postal ballot that concluded
on March 12, 2019.
The buyback was offered to all eligible equity
shareholders of the Company (other than the Promoters, the Promoter Group and Persons in Control of the Company) under the open
market route through the stock exchange. The buyback of equity shares through the stock exchange commenced on March 20, 2019 and
was completed on August 26, 2019 . During this buyback period the Company had purchased and extinguished a total of 110,519,266
equity shares from the stock exchange at an average buy back price of 747/- per equity share comprising 2.53% of the pre
buyback paid-up equity share capital of the Company. The buyback resulted in a cash outflow of 8,260 crore (excluding transaction
costs). The Company funded the buyback from its free reserves.
In accordance with section 69 of the Companies
Act, 2013, as at March 31, 2020 the Company has created ‘Capital Redemption Reserve’ of 55 crore equal to the
nominal value of the above shares bought back as an appropriation from general reserve.
After the execution of the above buy back, payment
of special dividend (including dividend distribution tax) of 2,107 crore in January 2019 and payment of special dividend
(including dividend distribution tax) of 2,633 crore in June 2018, the Company has completed the distribution of 13,000
crore, which was announced as part of its capital allocation policy in April 2018.
The Company’s objective when managing
capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize
shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend
payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buy back issued shares. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has only
one class of equity shares and has no debt. Consequent to the above capital structure there are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Dividend
The final dividend 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.
The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian
rupees. The Finance Act 2020 has repealed the Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT). Companies are now required to pay/distribute dividend
after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is
also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.
Effective fiscal 2018 the Company’s policy
was to pay up to 70% of the free cash flow annually by way of dividend and/or buyback.
Effective from fiscal 2020, the company expects
to return approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a 5-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends
and/or share buyback and/or special dividends, subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any. Free cash flow is defined
as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditure as per the consolidated statement of cash flows prepared
under IFRS. Dividend and buyback include applicable taxes.

As at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, 18,12,895
and 1,77,454 (net of forfeitures) cash settled options were outstanding respectively. The carrying value of liability towards cash
settled share based payments was 48 crore and 9 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 respectively.
The fair values 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 with the following assumptions:

2.14 PROVISIONS
Accounting policy
A provision is recognized if, as a result of
a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future
cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation
arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or
the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
a. Post sales client support
The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period
post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the
time related revenues are recorded and included in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group estimates such costs based
on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood
of occurrence.
b. Onerous contracts
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.

2.15 INCOME TAXES
Accounting policy
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred
income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent
that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income
tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using
the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill
or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit
or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
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 income or expense in the period that includes
the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred
income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings
of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.
The Group offsets current tax assets and current
tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle
on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise
of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to securities premium.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company
entered into Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) in overseas jurisdictions resulting in a reversal of income tax expense of 94
crore which pertained to prior periods.
Additionally, income tax expense for the year
ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 includes reversal (net of provisions) of 379 crore and 129 crore, respectively.
These reversals pertain to prior periods on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters in favor of the company across
various jurisdictions and on account of changes to tax regulations.

The applicable Indian corporate statutory tax
rate for the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is 34.94% each.
The foreign tax expense is due to income taxes
payable overseas principally in the United States. In India, the Group has benefited from certain tax incentives that the Government
of India had provided for export of software and services from the units registered under the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Act,
2005. SEZ units which began the provision of services on or after April 1, 2005 are eligible for a deduction of 100% of profits
or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from the financial year in which the unit commenced the provision
of services and 50% of such profits or gains for further five years. Up to 50% of such profits or gains is also available for a
further five years subject to creation of a Special Economic Zone re-Investment Reserve out of the profit of the eligible SEZ units
and utilization of such reserve by the Group for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business as per the provisions
of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred income tax for the year ended March
31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.
Infosys is subject to a 15% BPT in the U.S.
to the extent its U.S. branch's net profit during the year is greater than the increase in the net assets of the U.S. branch during
the year, computed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. As at March 31, 2020, Infosys' U.S. branch net assets amounted
to approximately 5,474 crore. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has a deferred tax liability for branch profit tax
of 178 crore (net of credits), as the Company estimates that these branch profits are expected to be distributed
in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax liabilities have not been
recognized on temporary differences amounting to 8,447 crore and 6,007 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019,
respectively, associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches as it is probable that the temporary differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets have not been recognized
on accumulated losses of 3,187 crore and 2,624 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, as it
is probable that future taxable profit will be not available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized in the foreseeable
future.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
have been offset wherever the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and where the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
In assessing the reliability of deferred income
tax assets, the management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
the temporary differences become deductible. The management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable
income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management
believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward
period are reduced.
2.16 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS
Accounting policy
The Group derives revenues primarily from IT
services comprising software development and related services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, and from licensing
of software products and platforms across the Group’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related
services”). Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a fixed-timeframe
basis.
Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted
Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the cumulative catch-up transition method, applied to contracts
that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant.
Revenues from customer contracts are considered
for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved by the parties, in writing, to the contract, the parties to
contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue
is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration the Group has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services
(“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such
uncertainty is resolved.
The Group assesses the services promised in
a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each distinct
performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold
separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate
standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Group estimates the cost of satisfying the performance
obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.
The Group’s contracts may include variable
consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction
price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant
reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work
based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either
on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or
using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s
costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and
not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over
time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended have been used to determine progress towards
completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio
of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction
price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the lives of the contracts and are recognized in profit or loss
in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts
are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded
in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.
The billing schedules agreed with customers
include periodic performance based billing and / or milestone based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified
as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).
In arrangements for software development and
related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation,
the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct
performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Group has measured the revenue in respect of each performance
obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately
is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Group is unable to determine the standalone selling price,
the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and
related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally
obtains control of the work as it progresses.
Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains
a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from
licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period.
Arrangements to deliver software products generally
have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS).When implementation services are provided in conjunction
with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations,
the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone
selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach
in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation
service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue
is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support
and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS
revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are rendered.
Contracts with customers includes subcontractor
services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements,
revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between
the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the group first evaluates
whether it controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it has the primary
obligation to fulfil the contract, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the goods
or service and therefore is acting as a principal or an agent.
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract
(i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Group expects
to recover them. Any capitalized contract costs are amortized, with the expense recognised as the Group transfers the related goods
or services to the customer.
The Group presents revenues net of indirect
taxes in its consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Revenues for the year ended March 31, 2020
and March 31, 2019 are as follows:

The Group has evaluated the impact of COVID
– 19 resulting from (i) the possibility of constraints to render services which may require revision of estimations of costs
to complete the contract because of additional efforts;(ii) onerous obligations;(iii) penalties relating to breaches of service
level agreements, and (iv) termination or deferment of contracts by customers. The Group has concluded that the impact of COVID
– 19 is not material based on these estimates. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Group will continue to monitor developments
to identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in future periods.

Digital Services
Digital Services comprise of service and solution
offerings of the Group that enable our clients to transform their businesses. These include offerings that enhance customer experience,
leverage AI-based analytics and big data, engineer digital products and IoT, modernize legacy technology systems, migrate to cloud
applications and implement advanced cyber security systems.
Core Services
Core Services comprise traditional offerings
of the Group that have scaled and industrialized over a number of years. These primarily include application management services,
proprietary application development services, independent validation solutions, product engineering and management, infrastructure
management services, traditional enterprise application implementation, support and integration services.
Products & platforms
The Group also derives revenues from the sale
of products and platforms including Finacle – core banking solution, Edge Suite of products, Infosys Nia - Artificial Intelligence
(AI) platform which applies next-generation AI and machine learning, Stater digital platform and Infosys McCamish- insurance platform.
The percentage of revenue from fixed price contracts
for each of the three months and year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is approximately 55%.
Trade Receivables and Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings
and cash collections results in Receivables, Unbilled Revenue, and Unearned Revenue on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly
or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones.
The Group’s Receivables are rights to
consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts
and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is
due only after a passage of time.
Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price
contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore the timing of revenue recognition is different from the
timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore Unbilled Revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified
as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones.
Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified
as unearned revenue.
Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are
presented net of impairment in the consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019 , the company recognized revenue of 2,421 crore and 2,237 crore arising from opening unearned revenue as
of April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2018 respectively.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019, 2,971 crore and 2,685 crore of unbilled revenue pertaining to other fixed price development contracts as
of April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively has been reclassified to Trade receivables upon billing to customers on completion
of milestones.
Performance obligations and remaining performance
obligations
The remaining performance obligation disclosure
provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation
as to when the Group expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the
Group 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 entity's performance completed to date, typically those contracts where invoicing
is on time and material and unit of work based contracts. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and
are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment
for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.
The aggregate value of performance obligations
that are completely or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2020, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above,
is 55,926 crore. Out of this, the Group expects to recognize revenue of around 51% within the next one year and the remaining
thereafter. The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2019 is
51,274 crore. The contracts can generally be terminated by the customers and typically includes an enforceable termination
penalty payable by them. Generally, customers have not terminated contracts without cause.
2.17 OTHER INCOME, NET
Accounting policy
Other income is comprised primarily of interest
income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of
other assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized
when the right to receive payment is established.
Foreign currency
Accounting policy
Functional currency
The functional currency of Infosys, Infosys
BPM, controlled trusts, EdgeVerve and Skava is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for other subsidiaries are their respective
local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
Transactions and translations
Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets
and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The
gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and reported within
exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying
cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value
are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at
the date of 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.
The translation of financial statements of the
foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at
the Balance Sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods.
The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity.
When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss. However when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are
recorded through equity.
Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes
translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified
as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising
on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange
rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date.
Effective April 1, 2018, the Group has adopted
Appendix B to Ind AS 21- Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which clarifies the date of transaction for the
purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income when an entity has
received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effect on account of adoption of this amendment was insignificant.
Government grant
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.
Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life 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.

2.19 Leases
Accounting Policy
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily
consist of leases for land and buildings. The group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. 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 group
assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the group has substantially all of the economic
benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the
Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which
it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term
and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options
to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when
it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement
date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the
commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of
use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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.
The lease liability is initially measured at
amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit
in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease
liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the group changes its assessment
if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately
presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
The Group as a lessor
Leases for which the group is a lessor is classified
as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it
accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating
lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized
on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Transition
Effective April 1, 2019, the Group adopted Ind
AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective
method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Consequently, the group
recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right
of use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted
at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Comparatives as at and for the year ended
March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies
included as part of our Annual Report for year ended March 31, 2019
On transition, the adoption of the new standard
resulted in recognition of 'Right of Use' asset of 2,907 crore, 'Net investment in sublease' of ROU asset of 430
crore and a lease liability of 3,598 crore. The cumulative effect of applying the standard, amounting to 40 crore
was debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. The effect of this adoption is insignificant on the profit before tax, profit for
the period and earnings per share. Ind AS 116 will result in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase
in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.
The following is the summary of practical expedients
elected on initial application:
| 1. | | Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar
economic environment with a similar end date |
| 2. | | Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases
with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application |
| 3. | | Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at
the date of initial application. |
| 4. | | Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions
are leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17. |
The difference between the lease obligation
recorded as of March 31, 2019 under Ind AS 17 disclosed under Note 2.19 of the 2019 Annual Report and the value of the lease liability
as of April 1, 2019 is primarily on account of inclusion of extension and termination options reasonably certain to be exercised,
in measuring the lease liability in accordance with Ind AS 116 and discounting the lease liabilities to the present value under
Ind AS 116.
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate
applied to lease liabilities as at April 1, 2019 is 4.5%.

2.20 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Accounting policy
Gratuity
The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit
retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides
a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on
the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan
are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit
credit method. The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust
(the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and
EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and
contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.
The Group recognizes the net obligation of a
defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined
benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used
to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments is recognized
in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Provident fund
Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits
from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to
the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to
the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian
law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is
payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. The Company has an obligation to make good the
shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.
In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible
employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective
companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.
Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The Companies have no
further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPM and
EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly
contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation
of India.
Compensated absences
The Group has a policy on compensated absences
which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined
by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the
additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date.
Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
2.20.1 Gratuity

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience
are set in accordance with the published statistics by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
| (1) | | In India, the market for high quality corporate bonds being not developed, the yield
of government bonds is considered as the discount rate. The tenure has been considered taking into account the past long-term
trend of employees’ average remaining service life which reflects the average estimated term of the post- employment benefit
obligations. |
| (2) | | The average rate of increase in compensation levels is determined by the Company,
considering factors such as, the Company’s past compensation revision trends and management’s estimate of future salary
increases. |
| (3) | | Attrition rate considered is the management’s estimate based on the past long-term
trend of employee turnover in the Company. |

(In crore)
| Impact from percentage point increase / decrease in |
As at
March 31, 2020 |
| Discount rate |

| Weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels |

Sensitivity to significant actuarial assumptions
is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation by one percentage, keeping
all other actuarial assumptions constant. In practice, this is not probable, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Gratuity is applicable only to employees drawing
a salary in Indian rupees and there are no other significant foreign defined benefit gratuity plans.
The Company contributes all ascertained liabilities
towards gratuity to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust. In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are
made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively.
Trustees administer contributions made to the trust as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the plan assets have been primarily
invested in insurer managed funds.
Actual return on assets for the year ended March
31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 were 106 crore and 95 crore, respectively.
The Group expects to contribute 145 crore
to the gratuity trusts during fiscal 2021.

2.20.2 Provident fund
Infosys has an obligation to fund any shortfall
on the yield of the trust’s investments over the administered interest rates on an annual basis. These administered rates
are determined annually predominantly considering the social rather than economic factors and in most cases the actual return earned
by the Company has been higher in the past years. The actuary has provided a valuation for provident fund liabilities on the basis
of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of India and based on the assumptions provided there is no shortfall as at March 31, 2019.
The details of the benefit obligation as at
March 31, 2019 is as follows:

The asset allocation for plan assets is determined
based on investment criteria prescribed under the relevant regulations.
As at March 31, 2020 the defined benefit obligation
would be affected by approximately 72 crore and 108 on account of a 0.25% increase / decrease in the expected rate
of return on plan assets.
The Group contributed 639 crore and 543
crore to the provident fund during the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The same has been recognized
in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss under the head employee benefit expense.
In February 2019, the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of India vide its judgment and subsequent review petition of August 2019 has ruled in respect of compensation for the purpose
of Provident Fund contribution under the Employee’s Provident Fund Act. The Company has assessed possible outcomes of the
judgment on determination of provident fund contributions and based on the Company’s current evaluation of the judgement,
it is not probable that certain allowances paid by the Company will be subject to payment of Provident Fund. The Company will continue
to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.
The provident plans are applicable only to employees
drawing a salary in Indian rupees and there are no other significant foreign defined benefit plans.
2.20.3 Superannuation
The Group contributed 240 crore and 215
crore during the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively and the same has been recognized in the Consolidated

2.21 RECONCILIATION OF BASIC AND
DILUTED SHARES USED IN COMPUTING EARNINGS PER SHARE
Accounting policy
Basic earnings per equity share is computed
by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders
of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also
the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair
value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as
at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for
each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially
dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including
for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
The following is a reconciliation of the equity
shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share:
| Particulars |
Year ended March 31, |
| |
2020 |
2019 |
| Basic earnings per equity share - weighted average number of equity shares outstanding(1) |
4,257,754,522 |
4,347,130,157 |
| Effect of dilutive common equivalent shares - share options outstanding |

| Diluted earnings per equity share - weighted average number of equity shares and common equivalent shares outstanding |
4,265,144,228 |
4,353,420,772 |
Information in the table above is adjusted
for September 2018 bonus issue where ever applicable (Refer note no 2.11)
| (1) | | Excludes treasury shares |
For the year ended March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019, 13,093 and Nil number of options to purchase equity shares had an anti-dilutive effect, respectively.

*Uncalled capital pertaining to investments
| (1) | | As at March 31, 2020, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts in respect
of income tax matters amounted to 3,353 crore. The claims against the group majorly represent demands arising on completion
of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are on account of multiple issues of disallowances such
as disallowance of profits earned from STP Units and SEZ Units, disallowance of deductions in respect of employment of new employees
under section 80JJAA, disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated
Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes. These matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities and the management
including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material
adverse effect on the Group's financial position and results of operations. |
Amount paid to statutory authorities against
the above tax claims amounted to 5,352 crore.
| (2) | | Capital contracts primarily comprises of commitments for infrastructure facilities
and computer equipment’s. |
The Audit Committee appointed an external
legal counsel to conduct an independent investigation into the whistleblower allegations which have been previously disclosed to
stock exchanges on October 22, 2019 and to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 6-K on the same date. As previously
disclosed on January 10, 2020 the outcome of the investigation has not resulted in restatement of previously issued financial statements.
The Company cooperated with an investigation
by the SEC regarding the same matters. In March 2020, the Company received notification from the SEC that the SEC has concluded
its investigation and the Company does not anticipate any further action by the SEC on this matter. The Company is responding to
all the inquires received from the Indian regulatory authorities and will continue to cooperate with the authorities for any additional
requests for information. Additionally, in October 2019, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current and former officers for alleged violations
of the US federal securities laws. The Company is presently unable to predict the scope, duration or the outcome of these matters.
The Group is subject to legal proceedings and
claims, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that these legal
actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of
operations or financial condition.

2.24 SEGMENT REPORTING
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to
enable clients to enhance business performance. The Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Group's performance and allocates
resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented
along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied
to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the accounting policies.
Business segments of the Group are primarily
enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance, enterprises in Manufacturing, enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and
Logistics, enterprises in the Energy, Utilities, Resources and Services, enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media, enterprises
in Hi-Tech, enterprises in Life Sciences and Healthcare and all other segments. The Financial services reportable segments has
been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of
the economic characteristics. All other segments represent the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys
Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services .
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses
in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for 'all other
segments' represents revenue generated by Infosys Public services and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan
and China and other enterprises in Public services. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services
from the Group's offshore software development centers and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated
efforts of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically
allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. The management believes that it is not practical
to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as
"unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.
Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business
are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The management believes
that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful
segregation of the available data is onerous.
Business segment revenue information is collated
based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.
Disclosure of revenue by geographic locations
is given in note 2.16 Revenue from operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INFOSYS
LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Company and its
subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020,
the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income) for the three months and year ended on that
date, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date,
and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “interim
consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our
information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid interim consolidated financial statements give a true
and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed
under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act’) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2020, the consolidated profit and consolidated total comprehensive
income for the three months and year ended on that date, consolidated changes in equity and the consolidated cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the interim consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those
matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the interim consolidated financial statements
of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the interim consolidated financial statements
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| Sr. No. |
Key Audit Matter |
Auditor’s Response |
| 1 |
Fixed price contracts using the
percentage of completion method
|
Principal Audit Procedures |
| |
Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized
either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period
or using percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from services rendered to the customer and Group’s
costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and
not repetitive.
Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe
contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time has been recognized using the percentage-of-completion method.
Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion
of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion
as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant
judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.
Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable
based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.
We identified the estimate of total efforts
or efforts to complete fixed price contracts measured using the percentage of completion method as a key audit matter as the estimation
of efforts or costs involves significant judgement throughout the period of the contract and is subject to revision as the contract
progresses based on the latest available information. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requires consideration
of progress of the contract, efforts or costs incurred to-date and estimates of efforts or costs required to complete the remaining
contract performance obligations over the lives of the contracts.
Refer Notes 1.5(a) and 2.16 to the consolidated
financial statements.
|
Our audit procedures related to estimates
of total expected costs or efforts to complete for fixed-price contracts included the following, among others:
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 accounted using percentage-of-completion method and performed the following:
·
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. |
| 2 |
Allowance for credit losses
|
Principal Audit Procedures
|
| |
The Group determines the allowance for
credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group
considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where
it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information
for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from
the pandemic relating to COVID -19.
We identified allowance for credit losses
as a key audit matter because the Group exercises significant judgment in calculating the expected credit losses.
Refer Notes 1.5(h), 2.7 and 2.10 to the
consolidated financial statements.
|
Our audit procedures related to the allowance
for credit losses for trade receivables and unbilled revenue included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls
over the (1) development of the methodology for the allowance for credit losses, including consideration of the current and estimated
future economic conditions (2) completeness and accuracy of information used in the estimation of probability of default and (3)
computation of the allowance for credit losses.
For a sample of customers:
We tested the input data such as credit
reports and other credit related information used in estimating the probability of default by comparing them to external and internal
sources of information.
We tested the mathematical accuracy and
computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by the Group. |
Emphasis of Matter
As more fully described in Note 2.22
to the interim consolidated financial statements, the Company is responding to inquiries from Indian regulatory authorities. The
scope, duration or outcome of these matters are uncertain.
Our opinion is not modified in respect
of this matter.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors
is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated
changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS 34 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
the 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 respective 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 interim consolidated financial statements
by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the interim 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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the interim consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these interim consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with
SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| · | Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the interim 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
controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls. |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by 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 interim 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. |
| · | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure
and content of the interim consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the interim consolidated financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| · | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the interim consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such
entities included in the interim consolidated financial statements of which we are independent auditors. |
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements
in the interim consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions
of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the interim 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 interim 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 interim 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.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Accounting policy
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past
or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated. The Group considers all highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

INFOSYS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the interim consolidated financial
statements
1. Overview
1.1 Company overview
Infosys Limited ('the Company' or Infosys) is
a leading provider of consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, enabling clients to execute strategies
for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the
agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy
is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.
Infosys together with
its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is hereinafter referred to as 'the Group'.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated
and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics city, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The Company
has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary
Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The Group's consolidated financial statements
are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on April 20, 2020.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except
for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') (to
the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under
Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment
rules issued thereafter.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially
adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
As the quarter and year figures are taken from
the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous
quarters might not always add up to the year figures reported in this statement.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns
or controls. The interim consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts
and its subsidiaries, as disclosed in Note no. 2.23. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power
over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which
significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control
ceases.
The financial statements of the Group Companies
are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions
are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the
Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly
or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Company, are excluded.
1.4 Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements
in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgements and
assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgements
and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note no. 1.5. Accounting estimates could change
from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management
becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements
in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim consolidated
financial statements.
Estimation of uncertainties relating to the
global health pandemic from COVID-19 (COVID-19):
The Group has considered the possible effects
that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of receivables, unbilled revenues , goodwill and
intangible assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions
because of this pandemic, the Group, as at the date of approval of these financial statements has used internal and external sources
of information including credit reports and related information, economic forecasts and consensus estimates from market sources
on the expected future performance of the Group. The Group has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based
on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Group's financial
statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
a. Revenue recognition
The Group’s contracts with customers include
promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition
and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed
to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services
promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance
obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and
allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement.
Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized
ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period.
Revenue from fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of
benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period
of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance
revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables.
The Group uses the percentage-of-completion
method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine
the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or
costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.
The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to
reflect any changes based on the latest available information.
Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on
uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to
complete the contract.
b. Income taxes
The Company's two major tax jurisdictions are
India and the U.S., though the Company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions.Significant judgements are involved
in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also
refer to Note no. 2.15 and 2.22
In assessing the realizability of deferred income
tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected
future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and
projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes
that the group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are
reduced.
c. Business combinations and intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using
Ind AS 103, Business Combinations. Ind AS 103 requires the identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to be fair
valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.
Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible
assets. These valuations are conducted by independent valuation experts. 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 (Refer to
Note no 2.1 and 2.3.2).
d. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant
proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate
of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual
values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at
each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events,
which may impact their life, such as changes in technology (Refer to Note no 2.2).
e. Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual
basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGUs) is less than its carrying
amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition
and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of
CGUs is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections
are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital
and estimated operating margins. (Refer to Note no 2.3.1)
f. Non-current assets and Disposal Group
held for sale
Assets and liabilities of Disposal Groups held
for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs
to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the Disposal Groups have been estimated using valuation
techniques including income and market approach which includes unobservable inputs. Non-current assets and Disposal Group that
ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the Non-current asset and Disposal
Group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the
Disposal Group no longer meets the " Held for sale" criteria. Recoverable amounts of assets reclassified from held for
sale have been estimated using management’s assumptions which consist of significant unobservable inputs (Refer to Note no
2.1.2).
g. Leases
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the
lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such
option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses
whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease
term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating
to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Infosys’s operations taking into account the
location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed
to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions,
the Group has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts. (Refer to Note no.
2.19)
h. Loss allowance for receivables and unbilled
revenues
The Group determines the allowance for credit
losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considered
current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.
In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its
customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic
relating to COVID -19.
2.1 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSAL GROUP
HELD FOR SALE
2.1.1 Business combinations
Accounting policy
Business combinations have been accounted for
using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.
The cost of an acquisition is measured at the
fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition,
which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent
consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting
date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders
is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s
identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition,
the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling
interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.The payments related to options issued by the Group over
the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated
present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable
under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is
derecognised.
Business combinations between entities under
common control is accounted for at carrying value of the assets and liabilities in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection
with a business combination such as finder’s fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting
fees are expensed as incurred.

Outbox systems Inc. dba Simplus
On March 13, 2020, Infosys Nova Holdings LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited) acquired 100% of voting interests in Outbox systems Inc. dba Simplus , a US based sales force advisor and consulting partner in cloud consulting, implementation and training services for a total consideration of up to $250 million (approximately 71,892 crore), comprising of cash consideration of $180 million (approximately 71,362 crore), contingent consideration of up to $20 million (approximately 7151 crore), additional performance bonus and retention payouts of upto $50 million (approximately 7378 crore) payable to the employees of Simplus over the next three years, subject to their continuous employment with the group and meeting certain targets. Performance and retention bonus is recognized in employee benefit expenses in the statement of Profit and Loss over the period of service.
Simplus brings to Infosys globally recognized Salesforce expertise, industry knowledge, solution assets, deep ecosystem relationships and a broad clientele, across a variety of industries. The excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired has been attributed to goodwill. Goodwill includes the value expected from addition of new customers and estimated synergies which does not qualify as an intangible asset.
The purchase price has been allocated based
on management’s estimates and independent appraisal of fair values as follows:

| Total purchase price |

The gross amount of trade receivables acquired
and its fair value is approximately 73 crore and the amount is recoverable
The payment of contingent consideration to sellers
of Simplus is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial targets by Simplus. At the acquisition date, the key inputs used
in determination of the fair value of contingent consideration are the discount rate of 10.5% and the probabilities of achievement
of the financial targets. The undiscounted value of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2020 was $13 million (approximately
97 crore).
The transaction costs of 6 crore related
to the acquisition have been included under administrative expenses in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended March
31, 2020.
Proposed transfer
On October 11, 2019, the Board of Directors
of Infosys authorized the Company to execute a Business Transfer Agreement and related documents with its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Kallidus Inc and Skava Systems Private Limited (together referred to as Skava), to transfer the business of Skava to Infosys Limited,
subject to securing the requisite regulatory approvals for a consideration based on an independent valuation. The transfer between
entities under common control would be accounted for at carrying value and would not have any impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
2.1.2. Disposal group held for sale
Accounting policy
Non-current assets and Disposal Group are classified
as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use.
The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non-current asset or the Disposal Group is available for immediate
sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. Non-current
assets and Disposal Group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current
assets and Disposal Group that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before
the non-current asset and Disposal Group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable
amount at the date when the Disposal Group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.
During the year ended March 2018, the Company
had initiated identification and evaluation of potential buyers for its subsidiaries, Kallidus and Skava (together referred to
as "Skava”) and Panaya, collectively referred to as the “Disposal Group”. The Disposal Group was classified
and presented separately as “held for sale” and was carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value. During the
year ended March 31, 2019, on remeasurement, including consideration of progress in negotiations on offers from prospective buyers
for Panaya, the Company has recorded a reduction in the fair value of Disposal Group held for sale amounting to 270 crore
in respect of Panaya.
Further, based on evaluation of proposals received
and progress of negotiations with potential buyers, the Company concluded that the Disposal Group does not meet the criteria for
“Held for Sale’ classification because it is no longer highly probable that sale would be consummated by March 31,
2019 ( twelve months from date of initial classification as “held for sale”). Accordingly, in accordance with Ind AS
105 -" Non current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations", the assets and liabilities of Panaya and Skava
have been included on a line by line basis in the consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2019.
On reclassification from
“Held for sale”, the assets of Panaya and Skava have been remeasured at the lower of cost and recoverable amount resulting
in recognition of an adjustment in respect of excess of carrying amount over recoverable amount on reclassification from "Held
for Sale" of 451 crore (comprising of 358 crore towards goodwill and 93 crore towards value of customer
relationships) in respect of Skava in the consolidated statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2019.
2.2 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Accounting policy
Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the
property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Buildings (1) |
22-25 years |
| Plant and machinery (1)(2) |
5 years |
| Office equipment |
5 years |
| Computer equipment (1) |
3-5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures (1) |
5 years |
| Vehicles(1) |
5 years |
| Leasehold improvements |
Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term |
| (1) | | Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as
given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets
is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. |
(2) Includes Solar plant with
a useful life of 20 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual
values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property,
plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and
the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures
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. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in
the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from
the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment
Property, plant and equipment are evaluated
for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For
the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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 such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying
value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of
the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
The changes in the carrying value of property,
plant and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:

2.3 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
2.3.1 Goodwill
Accounting policy
Goodwill represents the purchase consideration
in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired
entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds purchase consideration,
the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase excess is recognized in capital reserve. Goodwill
is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual
basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying
amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGU’s which benefit from the synergies of
the acquisition. 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.
Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated
first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis
of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
Following is a summary of changes in the carrying
amount of goodwill:

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill
acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
The Group internally reviews the goodwill for impairment at the operating segment level, after allocation of the goodwill to CGU’s

Consequent to reclassification from held for
sale (refer note no 2.1.2) the goodwill pertaining to Panaya, Kallidus and Skava acquisitions are tested for impairment at the
respective entity level, which amounts to 1,022 crore and 941 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher
of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value of a CGU is determined based on the market capitalization.
Value-in-use is determined based on discounted future cash flows . The key assumptions used for the calculations are as follows:
(in %)
| |
As at |
| |
March 31, 2020 |
March 31, 2019 |
| Long term growth rate |
7-10 |
8-10 |
| Operating margins |
17-20 |
17-20 |
| Discount rate |
11.9 |
12.5 |
The above discount rate is based on the Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of the Company. As at March 31, 2020, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying
amount. Reasonable sensitivities in key assumptions consequent to the change in estimated future economic conditions on account
of possible effects relating to Covid 19 is unlikely to cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit.
2.3.2 Other intangible assets
Accounting policy
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line
basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on
a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability
of the industry, and known technological advances). Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at
each financial year end.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software
product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated,
future economic benefits are probable, the Group has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the
costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs
that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.
Impairment
Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment
testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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 CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired,
the impairment to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying
value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of
the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting policy
2.10.1 Initial recognition
The Group recognizes financial assets and financial
liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized
at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at
fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial
assets are accounted for at trade date.
2.10.2 Subsequent measurement
a. Non-derivative financial instruments
(i) Financial assets carried at amortized
cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at
amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash
flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
A financial asset is subsequently measured at
fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting
contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable
election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other
comprehensive income based on its business model.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in
any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried
at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option
arrangements recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. For trade
and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to
the short maturity of these instruments.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments
such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities,
at fair value through profit or loss.
This category has derivative financial assets
or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the Group believes that these derivatives
constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments.
Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized
as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized
initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss
and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as
current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the
Balance Sheet date.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The Group designates certain foreign exchange
forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast
cash transactions.
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair
value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued
prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging
instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve
until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is
transferred to the net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction.
If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified
to net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.10.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies
for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's
Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
2.10.4 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial
instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each
reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices
and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually
be realized.
Refer to table 'Financial instruments by category'
below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities
maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximates
fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
2.10.5 Impairment
The Group recognizes loss allowances using the
expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss.
Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal
to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been
a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of
ECLs (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised
is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, tax free
bonds and non-convertible debentures of 336 crore were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of fair value hierarchy, since
these were valued based on quoted price and 746 crore was transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of fair value hierarchy, since
these were valued based on market observable inputs.
A one percentage point change in the unobservable
inputs used in fair valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities does not have a significant impact in its value.
Financial risk management
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety
of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of
financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group
is foreign exchange risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration
of risk from the top few customers.
Market risk
The Group operates internationally and a major
portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through
its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of
changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has
changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Group’s
operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.

Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments
such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.
The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. 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.

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Group
has designated certain foreign exchange forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange
exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedges as of March
31, 2020 are expected to occur and reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit and loss within 3 months.
The Group determines the existence of an economic
relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of its forecasted cash flows.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments
to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument
is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes
is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting,
the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged
item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and
accounted for in the statement of profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.
The following table provides reconciliation
of cash flow hedge reserve for the three months and year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on
its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date
is primarily from trade receivables amounting to 18,487 crore and 14,827 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31,
2019, respectively and unbilled revenues amounting to 7,121 crore and 5,374 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019, respectively. Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues from customers
primarily located in the United States of America. Credit risk has always been managed by the Group through credit approvals, establishing
credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal
course of business. The Group uses the expected credit loss model to assess any required allowances; and uses a provision matrix
to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. This matrix takes into account available
external and internal credit risk information such as CDS spread quotes, ratings from international credit rating agencies and
the Group's historical collection experience for customers.
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced
mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. Exposure to
customers is diversified and there is no single customer contributing more than 10% of outstanding trade receivables and unbilled
revenues.
The following table gives details in respect
of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top ten customers:

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is
limited as the Group generally invests in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high ratings assigned by international
and domestic credit rating agencies. Ratings are monitored periodically and the Group has considered the latest available credit
ratings in view of COVID – 19 as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. Majority of investments
of the Group are fair valued based on Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. These investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual
fund units, fixed maturity plan securities, certificates of deposit, commercial papers, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi-government
organizations and non convertible debentures. The Group invests after considering counterparty risks based on multiple criteria
including Tier I Capital, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Credit Rating, Profitability, NPA levels and Deposit base of banks and financial
institutions. These risks are monitored regularly as per its risk management program.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the
Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time.
The Group's principal sources of liquidity are
cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group has no outstanding borrowings. The Group
believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.
As at March 31, 2020, the Group had a working
capital of 33,720 crore including cash and cash equivalents of 18,649 crore and current investments of 4,655
crore. As at March 31, 2019, the Group had a working capital of 34,240 crore including cash and cash equivalents of 19,568
crore and current investments of 6,627 crore.
As at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the
outstanding compensated absences were 1,870 crore and 1,663 crore, respectively, which have been substantially funded.
Accordingly no liquidity risk is perceived.

2.11 EQUITY
Accounting policy
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental
costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognized as a deduction from
equity, net of any tax effects.
Treasury Shares
When any entity within the Group purchases the
company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction
from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount
received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from
Securities premium.
In December 2017, Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes
was amended which clarified that an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified
as equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits
were recognized. On April 1, 2019, the Group adopted these amendments and there was no impact of these amendments on the Company’s
Consolidated financial statements.

earnings of the Group.
Securities premium

Other Reserves
The Special Economic Zone Re-investment reserve
has been created out of the profit of the eligible SEZ unit in terms of the provisions of Sec 10AA (1)(ii) of Income Tax Act, 1961.

The Company has only one class of shares referred
to as equity shares having a par value of 5/-. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The equity
shares represented by American Depositary Shares (ADS) carry similar rights to voting and dividends as the other equity shares.
Each ADS represents one underlying equity share.
In the event of liquidation of the Company,
the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the Company in proportion to the number
of equity shares held by the shareholders, after distribution of all preferential amounts. However, no such preferential amounts
exist currently, other than the amounts held by irrevocable controlled trusts. For irrevocable controlled trusts, the corpus would
be settled in favour of the beneficiaries.
For details of shares reserved for issue under
the employee stock option plan of the Company refer to the note below
In the period of five years immediately preceding
March 31, 2020:
Bonus Issue
The Company has allotted 2,18,41,91,490 , 1,14,84,72,332
and 57,42,36,166 fully paid-up shares of face value 5/- each during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 , June 30, 2015
and December 31, 2014, respectively pursuant to bonus issue approved by the shareholders through postal ballot. The bonus shares
were issued by capitalization of profits transferred from general reserve. Bonus share of one equity share for every equity share
held, and a bonus issue, viz., a stock dividend of one American Depositary Share (ADS) for every ADS held, respectively, has been
allotted. Consequently, the ratio of equity shares underlying the ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt holder remains unchanged.
Options granted under the stock option plan have been adjusted for bonus shares wherever appropriate.
The bonus shares once allotted shall rank pari
passu in all respects and carry the same rights as the existing equity shareholders and shall be entitled to participate in full,
in any dividend and other corporate action, recommended and declared after the new equity shares are allotted.
Update on capital allocation policy and buyback
In line with the capital allocation policy announced
in April 2018, the Board, in its meeting held on January 11, 2019, approved the following :(a) Declared a special dividend of 4/-
per equity share; (b) Recommended buyback of Equity Shares from the open market route through Indian stock exchanges of up to 8,260
crore (Maximum Buyback Size) at a price not exceeding 800 per share (Maximum Buyback Price) which would comprise approximately
2.36% of the paid-up equity share capital of the Company, subject to shareholders' approval by way of Postal Ballot.
The shareholders approved the proposal of buyback
of equity shares recommended by its Board of Directors in its meeting held on January 11, 2019 through the postal ballot that concluded
on March 12, 2019. The buyback was offered to all eligible equity shareholders of the Company (other than the Promoters, the Promoter
Group and Persons in Control of the Company) under the open market route through the stock exchange. The buyback of equity shares
through the stock exchange commenced on March 20, 2019 and was completed on August 26, 2019 . During this buyback period the Company
had purchased and extinguished a total of 110,519,266 equity shares from the stock exchange at an average buy back price of 747/-
per equity share comprising 2.53% of the pre buyback paid-up equity share capital of the Company. The buyback resulted in a cash
outflow of 8,260 crore (excluding transaction costs). The Company funded the buyback from its free reserves.In accordance
with section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013, as at March 31, 2020 the Company has created ‘Capital Redemption Reserve’
of 55 crore equal to the nominal value of the above shares bought back as an appropriation from general reserve.After the
execution of the above buy back, payment of special dividend (including dividend distribution tax) of 2,107 crore in January
2019 and payment of special dividend (including dividend distribution tax) of 2,633 crore in June 2018, the Company has
completed the distribution of 13,000 crore, which was announced as part of its capital allocation policy in April 2018.
The Company’s objective when managing
capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize
shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend
payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buy back issued shares. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has only
one class of equity shares and has no debt. Consequent to the above capital structure there are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Dividend
The final dividend 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.
The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian
rupees. The Finance Act 2020 has repealed the Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT). Companies are now required to pay/distribute dividend
after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is
also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.
Effective fiscal 2018 the Company’s policy
was to pay up to 70% of the free cash flow annually by way of dividend and/or buyback.Effective from fiscal 2020, the company expects
to return approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a 5-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends
and/or share buyback and/or special dividends, subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any. Free cash flow is defined
as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditure as per the consolidated statement of cash flows prepared
under IFRS. Dividend and buyback include applicable taxes.

As at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, 1,812,895
and 1,77,454 (net of forfeitures) cash settled options were outstanding respectively. The carrying value of liability towards cash
settled share based payments was 48 crore and 9 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 respectively.
The fair values 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 Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

2.14 PROVISIONS
Accounting policy
A provision is recognized if, as a result of
a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future
cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation
arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or
the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
a. Post sales client support
The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period
post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the
time related revenues are recorded and included in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group estimates such costs based
on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood
of occurrence.
b. Onerous contracts
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.

2.15 INCOME TAXES
Accounting policy
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred
income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent
that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income
tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using
the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill
or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit
or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
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 income or expense in the period that includes
the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred
income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings
of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Group offsets current tax assets and current
tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle
on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The income tax provision for the interim period
is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits
of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to securities
premium.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company
entered into Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) in overseas jurisdictions resulting in a reversal of income tax expense of 94
crore which pertained to prior periods.
Additionally, income tax expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 includes reversal (net of provisions) of 183 crore and 82 crore, respectively.
Income tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 includes reversal (net of provisions) of 379 crore
and 129 crore, respectively. These reversals pertain to prior periods on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters
in favor of the company across various jurisdictions and on account of changes to tax regulations.
A reconciliation of the income tax provision
to the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to the income before income taxes is summarized below:

The applicable Indian corporate statutory tax
rate for the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is 34.94% each.
The foreign tax expense is due to income taxes
payable overseas principally in the United States. In India, the Group has benefited from certain tax incentives that the Government
of India had provided for export of software and services from the units registered under the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Act,
2005. SEZ units which began the provision of services on or after April 1, 2005 are eligible for a deduction of 100% of profits
or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from the financial year in which the unit commenced the provision
of services and 50% of such profits or gains for further five years. Up to 50% of such profits or gains is also available for a
further five years subject to creation of a Special Economic Zone re-Investment Reserve out of the profit of the eligible SEZ units
and utilization of such reserve by the Group for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business as per the provisions
of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred income tax for the three months and
year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.
Infosys is subject to a 15% BPT in the U.S.
to the extent its U.S. branch's net profit during the year is greater than the increase in the net assets of the U.S. branch during
the year, computed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. As at March 31, 2020, Infosys' U.S. branch net assets amounted
to approximately 5,474 crore. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has a deferred tax liability for branch profit tax
of 178 crore (net of credits), as the Company estimates that these branch profits are expected to be distributed
in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax liabilities have not been
recognized on temporary differences amounting to 8,447 crore and 6,007 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019,
respectively, associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches as it is probable that the temporary differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets have not been recognized
on accumulated losses of 3,187 crore and 2,624 crore as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, as it
is probable that future taxable profit will be not available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized in the foreseeable
future.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
have been offset wherever the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and where the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
In assessing the reliability of deferred income
tax assets, the management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
the temporary differences become deductible. The management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable
income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management
believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward
period are reduced.
2.16 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS
Accounting policy
The Group derives revenues primarily from IT
services comprising software development and related services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, and from licensing
of software products and platforms across the Group’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related
services”). Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a fixed-timeframe
basis.
Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted
Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the cumulative catch-up transition method, applied to contracts
that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant.
Revenues from customer contracts are considered
for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved by the parties, in writing, to the contract, the parties to
contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue
is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration the Group has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services
(“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such
uncertainty is resolved.
The Group assesses the services promised in
a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each distinct
performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold
separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate
standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Group estimates the cost of satisfying the performance
obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.
The Group’s contracts may include variable
consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction
price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant
reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work
based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either
on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or
using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s
costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and
not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over
time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended have been used to determine progress towards
completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio
of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction
price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the lives of the contracts and are recognized in profit or loss
in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts
are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded
in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract.
The billing schedules agreed with customers
include periodic performance based billing and / or milestone based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified
as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).
In arrangements for software development and
related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation,
the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct
performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Group has measured the revenue in respect of each performance
obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately
is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Group is unable to determine the standalone selling price,
the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and
related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally
obtains control of the work as it progresses.
Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains
a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from
licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period.
Arrangements to deliver software products generally
have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS).When implementation services are provided in conjunction
with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations,
the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone
selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Group uses the expected cost plus margin approach
in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation
service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue
is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support
and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS
revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the services are rendered.
Contracts with customers includes subcontractor
services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements,
revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between
the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the group first evaluates
whether it controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it has the primary
obligation to fulfil the contract, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the goods
or service and therefore is acting as a principal or an agent.
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract
(i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Group expects
to recover them. Any capitalized contract costs are amortized, with the expense recognised as the Group transfers the related goods
or services to the customer.
The Group presents revenues net of indirect
taxes in its consolidated statement of profit and loss.

The Group has evaluated the impact of COVID
– 19 resulting from (i) the possibility of constraints to render services which may require revision of estimations of costs
to complete the contract because of additional efforts;(ii) onerous obligations;(iii) penalties relating to breaches of service
level agreements, and (iv) termination or deferment of contracts by customers. The Group has concluded that the impact of COVID
– 19 is not material based on these estimates. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Group will continue to monitor developments
to identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in future periods.

* Geographical revenues is based
on the domicile of customer.
Digital Services
Digital Services comprise of service and solution
offerings of the Group that enable our clients to transform their businesses. These include offerings that enhance customer experience,
leverage AI-based analytics and big data, engineer digital products and IoT, modernize legacy technology systems, migrate to cloud
applications and implement advanced cyber security systems.
Core Services
Core Services comprise traditional offerings
of the Group that have scaled and industrialized over a number of years. These primarily include application management services,
proprietary application development services, independent validation solutions, product engineering and management, infrastructure
management services, traditional enterprise application implementation, support and integration services.
Products & platforms
The Group also derives revenues from the sale
of products and platforms including Finacle – core banking solution, Edge Suite of products, Infosys Nia - Artificial Intelligence
(AI) platform which applies next-generation AI and machine learning, Stater digital platform and Infosys McCamish- insurance platform.
The percentage of revenue from fixed price contracts
for each of the three months and year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 is approximately 55%.
Trade Receivables and Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings
and cash collections results in Receivables, Unbilled Revenue, and Unearned Revenue on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly
or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones.
The Group’s Receivables are rights to
consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts
and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is
due only after a passage of time.
Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price
contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore the timing of revenue recognition is different from the
timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore Unbilled Revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified
as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones.
Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified
as unearned revenue.
Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are
presented net of impairment in the consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019 , the company recognized revenue of 2,421 crore and 2,237 crore arising from opening unearned revenue as
of April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2018 respectively.
During the year ended March 31, 2020 and March
31, 2019, 2,971 crore and 2,685 crore of unbilled revenue pertaining to other fixed price development contracts as
of April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively has been reclassified to Trade receivables upon billing to customers on completion
of milestones.
Performance obligations and remaining performance
obligations
The remaining performance obligation disclosure
provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation
as to when the Group expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the
Group 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 entity's performance completed to date, typically those contracts where invoicing
is on time and material and unit of work based contracts. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and
are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment
for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.
The aggregate value of performance obligations
that are completely or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2020, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above,
is 55,926 crore. Out of this, the Group expects to recognize revenue of around 51% within the next one year and the remaining
thereafter. The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2019 is
51,274 crore. The contracts can generally be terminated by the customers and typically includes an enforceable termination
penalty payable by them. Generally, customers have not terminated contracts without cause.
2.17 OTHER INCOME, NET
Accounting policy
Other income is comprised primarily of interest
income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of
other assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized
when the right to receive payment is established.
Foreign currency
Accounting policy
Functional currency
The functional currency of Infosys, Infosys
BPM, controlled trusts, EdgeVerve and Skava is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for other subsidiaries are their respective
local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
Transactions and translations
Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets
and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The
gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and reported within
exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying
cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value
are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at
the date of 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.
The translation of financial statements of the
foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at
the Balance Sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods.
The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity.
When a subsidiary is disposed off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss. However when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are
recorded through equity.
Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes
translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified
as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising
on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange
rate in effect at the Balance Sheet date.
Effective April 1, 2018, the Group has adopted
Appendix B to Ind AS 21- Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which clarifies the date of transaction for the
purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income when an entity has
received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effect on account of adoption of this amendment was insignificant.
Government grant
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.
Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life 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.

2.19 Leases
Accounting Policy
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily
consist of leases for land and buildings. The group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. 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 group
assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the group has substantially all of the economic
benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the
Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which
it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term
and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options
to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when
it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement
date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the
commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of
use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the 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.
The lease liability is initially measured at
amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit
in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease
liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the group changes its assessment
if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented
in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
The Group as a lessor
Leases for which the group is a lessor is classified
as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it
accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating
lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized
on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Transition
Effective April 1, 2019, the Group adopted Ind
AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective
method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Consequently, the group
recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right
of use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted
at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Comparatives as at and for the year ended
March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies
included as part of our Annual Report for year ended March 31, 2019
On transition, the adoption of the new standard
resulted in recognition of 'Right of Use' asset of 2,907 crore, 'Net investment in sublease' of ROU asset of 430
crore and a lease liability of 3,598 crore. The cumulative effect of applying the standard, amounting to 40 crore
was debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. The effect of this adoption is insignificant on the profit before tax, profit for
the period and earnings per share. Ind AS 116 will result in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase
in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.
The following is the summary of practical expedients
elected on initial application:
| 1. | | Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar
economic environment with a similar end date |
| 2. | | Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases
with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application |
| 3. | | Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at
the date of initial application. |
| 4. | | Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions
are leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17. |
The difference between the lease obligation
recorded as of March 31, 2019 under Ind AS 17 disclosed under Note 2.19 of the 2019 Annual Report and the value of the lease liability
as of April 1, 2019 is primarily on account of inclusion of extension and termination options reasonably certain to be exercised,
in measuring the lease liability in accordance with Ind AS 116 and discounting the lease liabilities to the present value under
Ind AS 116.
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate
applied to lease liabilities as at April 1, 2019 is 4.5%.

2.20 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Accounting policy
Gratuity
The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit
retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides
a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on
the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Group.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan
are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit
credit method. The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust
(the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and
EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and
contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.
The Group recognizes the net obligation of a
defined benefit plan in its Balance Sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined
benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used
to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments is recognized
in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Provident fund
Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits
from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to
the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to
the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian
law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is
payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. The Company has an obligation to make good the
shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.
In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible
employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective
companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.
Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The Companies have no
further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPM and
EdgeVerve are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly
contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation
of India.
Compensated absences
The Group has a policy on compensated absences
which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined
by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the
additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date.
Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience
are set in accordance with the published statistics by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
| (1) | | In India, the market for high quality corporate bonds being not developed, the yield
of government bonds is considered as the discount rate. The tenure has been considered taking into account the past long-term
trend of employees’ average remaining service life which reflects the average estimated term of the post- employment benefit
obligations. |
| (2) | | The average rate of increase in compensation levels is determined by the Company,
considering factors such as, the Company’s past compensation revision trends and management’s estimate of future salary
increases. |
| (3) | | Attrition rate considered is the management’s estimate based on the past long-term
trend of employee turnover in the Company. |

As at
March 31, 2020 |
| Discount rate |

| Weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels |

Sensitivity to significant actuarial assumptions
is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation by one percentage, keeping
all other actuarial assumptions constant. In practice, this is not probable, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Gratuity is applicable only to employees drawing
a salary in Indian rupees and there are no other significant foreign defined benefit gratuity plans.
The Company contributes all ascertained liabilities
towards gratuity to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust. In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are
made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively.
Trustees administer contributions made to the trust as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the plan assets have been primarily
invested in insurer managed funds.
Actual return on assets for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 were 20 crore and 23 crore, respectively.
Actual return on assets for the year ended March
31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 were 106 crore and 95 crore, respectively.
The Group expects to contribute 145 crore
to the gratuity trusts during fiscal 2021.

2.20.2 Provident fund
Infosys has an obligation to fund any shortfall
on the yield of the trust’s investments over the administered interest rates on an annual basis. These administered rates
are determined annually predominantly considering the social rather than economic factors and in most cases the actual return earned
by the Company has been higher in the past years. The actuary has provided a valuation for provident fund liabilities on the basis
of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of India and based on the assumptions provided there is no shortfall as at March 31, 2019.

March 31, 2019 is as follows:

The asset allocation for plan assets is determined
based on investment criteria prescribed under the relevant regulations.
As at March 31, 2020 the defined benefit obligation
would be affected by approximately 72 crore and 108 crore on account of a 0.25% increase / decrease, respectively,
in the expected rate of return on plan assets.
The Group contributed 167 crore and 142
crore to the provident fund during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Group contributed
639 crore and 543 crore to the provident fund during the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
The same has been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss under the head employee benefit expense.
In February 2019, the Hon’ble Supreme
Court of India vide its judgment and subsequent review petition of August 2019 has ruled in respect of compensation for the purpose
of Provident Fund contribution under the Employee’s Provident Fund Act. The Company has assessed possible outcomes of the
judgment on determination of provident fund contributions and based on the Company’s current evaluation of the judgement,
it is not probable that certain allowances paid by the Company will be subject to payment of Provident Fund. The Company will continue
to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.
The provident plans are applicable only to employees
drawing a salary in Indian rupees and there are no other significant foreign defined benefit plans.
2.20.3 Superannuation
The Group contributed 60
crore and 57 crore during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Group contributed

2.21 RECONCILIATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED
SHARES USED IN COMPUTING EARNINGS PER SHARE
Accounting policy
Basic earnings per equity share is computed
by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders
of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also
the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair
value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as
at the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for
each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially
dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including
for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
The following is a reconciliation of the equity
shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share:

| (1) | As at March 31, 2020, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts in respect
of income tax matters amounted to 3,353 crore. The claims against the group majorly represent demands arising on completion
of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are on account of multiple issues of disallowances such
as disallowance of profits earned from STP Units and SEZ Units, disallowance of deductions in respect of employment of new employees
under section 80JJAA, disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated
Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes. These matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities and the management
including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material
adverse effect on the Group's financial position and results of operations.Amount paid to statutory authorities against the above
tax claims amounted to 5,352 crore. |
(2) Capital contracts primarily
comprises of commitments for infrastructure facilities and computer equipment’s.
The Audit Committee appointed an external legal
counsel to conduct an independent investigation into the whistleblower allegations which have been previously disclosed to stock
exchanges on October 22, 2019 and to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 6-K on the same date. As previously disclosed
on January 10, 2020 the outcome of the investigation has not resulted in restatement of previously issued financial statements.
The Company cooperated with an investigation by the SEC regarding the same matters. In March 2020, the Company received notification
from the SEC that the SEC has concluded its investigation and the Company does not anticipate any further action by the SEC on
this matter. The Company is responding to all the inquires received from the Indian regulatory authorities and will continue to
cooperate with the authorities for any additional requests for information. Additionally, in October 2019, a shareholder class
action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain
of its current and former officers for alleged violations of the US federal securities laws. The Company is presently unable to
predict the scope, duration or the outcome of these matters.
The Group is subject to legal proceedings and
claims, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that these legal
actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of
operations or financial condition.

2.24 SEGMENT REPORTING
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to
enable clients to enhance business performance. The Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Group's performance and allocates
resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented
along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied
to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the accounting policies.
Business segments of the Group are primarily
enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance, enterprises in Manufacturing, enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and
Logistics, enterprises in the Energy, Utilities, Resources and Services, enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media, enterprises
in Hi-Tech, enterprises in Life Sciences and Healthcare and all other segments. The Financial services reportable segments has
been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of
the economic characteristics. All other segments represent the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys
Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services .
Revenue and identifiable operating expenses
in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for 'all other
segments' represents revenue generated by Infosys Public services and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan
and China and other enterprises in Public services. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services
from the Group's offshore software development centers and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated
efforts of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically
allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. The management believes that it is not practical
to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as
"unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group.
Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business
are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. The management believes
that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful
segregation of the available data is onerous.
Business segment revenue information is collated
based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized.
Disclosure of revenue by geographic locations
is given in note 2.16 Revenue from operations.
