2 Summary of Material Accounting Policies

2.1 Statement of Compliance

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation and disclosure requirements of division II of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.

2.2 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in INR (Indian Rupee) and all values are rounded to the nearest Crores upto two decimal, except when otherwise indicated.

The financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 11, 2026.

2.3 Summary of material accounting policies

a) Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities are presented in the Balance Sheet based on current or non-current classification as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization into cash and cash equivalents, the

Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities. An asset is treated as current when it is :

• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period;

• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when :

• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

b) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (‘the functional currency').

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the foreign exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange

differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous period are recognized in the Statement on Profit and Loss in the period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the initial transaction.

c) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at each Balance Sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either :

• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Where required/appropriate, external valuers are involved.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole :

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 (if level 1 feed is not available/ appropriate) — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

• Level 3 (if level 1 and 2 feed is not available/ appropriate) — Valuation techniques

for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost for additions comprizes the purchase price and any other attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/part of the Property, plant and equipment separately, if the component/part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the plant and equipment and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining plant and equipment.

An item of Property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of Property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Depreciation is recognized on the cost of assets (other than Capital work-in-progress) less their residual values on straight-line method over their useful lives as indicated in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 and based on technical parameters/assessments. The management believes that useful lives currently used fairly reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of Property, plant and equipment, though these lives in certain cases are different from lives prescribed under Schedule II.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over period of the lease agreement or the useful life, whichever is shorter.

The estimated useful lives are as follows :

* I n respect of these assets, the management estimate of useful lives, based on technical assessment is lower than the useful life prescribed under part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any.

e) Intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. Intangible assets that are not available for use are amortized from the date they are available for use.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets are amortized over the useful economic life and intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. The amortization expense on intangible assets is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Intangible assets are de-recognized either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of such intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

f) Asset held for sale

Property, plant and equipment are classified as Asset held for sale, if their carrying amounts are

to be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the noncurrent asset is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of clasification as held for sale.

Property, plant and equipment retired from actual use and held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are disclosed separately under ‘Current assets’. Once classified as held for sale, these assets are not depreciated.

g) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets Recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, except for trade receivables plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at ‘Fair value through profit or loss’, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets measured at fair value or as ‘Financial assets measured at amortized cost’. However trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price determine under Ind AS 115

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories :

• Financial assets at amortized cost

• Financial assets at fair value

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost net of impairment, if the objective of the Company’s business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the 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.

All other financial assets are measured at fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company’s Balance Sheet) when:

• The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

• The Company has transferred its rights to receive contractual cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement, and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration receives recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial liabilities Recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not recorded at ‘Fair value through Profit or Loss’, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as either ‘Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss’ or ‘Other financial liabilities’.

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in following categories :

(a) Financial liabilities are classified as ‘Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’, if they are held for trading or if they are designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These are measured initially at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Other financial liabilities, are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in Profit or Loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

h) Impairment

Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired, if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

a) Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that

result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115

b) Other financial assets which are measured at amortized cost

The Company follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables. The Company recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, twelve month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used.

If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on twelve month ECL.

ECL are measured in a manner that they reflect unbiased and probability weighted amounts determined by a range of outcomes, taking into account the time value of money and other reasonable information available as a result of past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Non-financial assets

The carrying amount of non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to ascertain whether there is any indication of impairment.

If any such indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized, as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. Value in use is ascertained through discounting of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value

of money and the risk specific to the assets. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels into cash generating units for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

An impairment loss recognized in prior years are reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment had been recognized in previous years.

i) Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases. The Company recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and Right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes Right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of Right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows :

• Leasehold Land : Over lease period which is 95 years

• Buildings : 2 to 9 years

• Furniture and Fixtures : 5 years

• Vehicles : 2 to 5 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The Right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2.3 (h) Impairment - non-financial assets.

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Company’s lease liabilities are presented within the Balance Sheet under Financial Liabilities (Refer Note 5).

iii) Short-term leases

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on shortterm leases are recognized as expense on straight line basis over lease term.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.

j) Inventories

Inventories consists of raw materials, packing materials, work-in-progress, stock-in-trade and finished goods. Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on First-In-First-Out basis.

Cost of raw materials and packing materials includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods includes direct materials, labour and proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, wherever applicable. Cost of finished goods further includes other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost of stock-in-trade includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of

inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and shortterm deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any, as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

l) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying 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. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provision for sales return and date expiry

The Company as per trade practice accepts returns from market which are primarily in the nature of expired or near expiry products. Provisions for such returns are estimated on the basis of historical experience, market conditions and specific contractual terms and are provided for.

Contingencies

A contingent liability is :

• a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future

events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

• a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized 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.

m) Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory risks.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.

Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the products. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period.

The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of products, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration (if any).

Revenue from sale of products is stated exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST). Revenues are net of sales returns, discounts, provision for anticipated returns on expiry, made on the basis of management expectations.

Sales returns

The Company accounts for sales returns accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Company’s estimate of expected sales returns. With respect to established products, the Company considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Company’s business and markets.

With respect to new products introduced by the Company, such products have historically been either extensions of an existing line of product where the Company has historical experience or in therapeutic categories where established products exist.

Rendering of services

Service income is recognized as per the terms of the contracts/arrangements when related services are performed and is stated net of GST.

Contract balances :

Trade receivables

A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs it’s obiligation by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before

the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is received from customer or due, whichever is earlier. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

n) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest income is included in ‘Other Income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

o) Employee benefits Short-term employment benefits :

All employee benefits payable within twelve months of service such as salaries, wages, bonus, ex-gratia, medical benefits, sick leave, casual leave etc. are recognized in the year in which the employees render the related service and are presented as current employee benefit obligation within the Balance Sheet. Termination benefits are recognized as an expense as and when incurred.

Short-term leave benefit is provided at undiscounted amount during the accounting period based on the service rendered by employees.

Defined contribution plan :

Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as State governed Provident Fund and Employee Pension Scheme, Employees’ State Insurance Scheme, Superannuation, Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance and Group Life Insurance are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The above benefits are classified as defined contribution schemes and the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the contributions.

If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the Balance Sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.

If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the Balance Sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

Defined benefit plan :

The Company has defined benefit plan in the form of Gratuity, Long Service Benefits and Post Retirement Medical Benefits as per policies of the Company. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employee has earned in exchange of their service in the current and prior periods and discounted back to the current valuation date to arrive at the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is deducted from the fair value of plan assets, to arrive at the net asset/(liability), which need to be accounted for in the books of accounts of the Company.

The discount rate used to arrive at the present value of the defined benefit obligations is based on the Indian government security yields prevailing as at the Balance Sheet date that have maturity date equivalent to the tenure of the obligation.

The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognized in statement of Profit and Loss in the period of a plan amendment. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined

benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to OCI in the period in which they arise and is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

When the benefits of the plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed or settlement occurs, the portion of the changed benefit related to past service by employees or the gain or loss on curtailment or settlement, is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the plan amendment or when a curtailment or settlement occurs.

Other employee benefits :

Other employee benefits comprise of leave encashment which is provided for, based on the actuarial valuation carried out as at the end of the year.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

p) Income tax

Current income tax

Income tax expense comprizes of current and deferred tax and includes any adjustments related to past periods in current and/or deferred tax adjustments that may become necessary due to certain developments or reviews during the relevant period. The provision for current tax is made at the rate of tax as applicable for the income of the previous year as defined under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Current income tax relating to items recognized, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, is also recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity, as appropriate and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Management periodically evaluates

positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the Balance Sheet approach on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is expected to be settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized, either in other comprehensive income or in equity, is also recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity, as appropriate and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

q) Earnings per equity share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (‘EPS’) data for its equity shares.

The Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year attributable to the

equity shareholders of the Company by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit attributable to 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 equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date.

r) Share-based compensation

Abbott Laboratories, USA, being the Ultimate Holding Company, has given restricted stock option plan to the employees of the Company.

Pursuant to Ind AS 102 ‘Share-based Payment’, the Company recognizes an expense based on the fair value of the stock options as at grant date. The expenses are amortized over the vesting period. The corresponding credit is given to equity because the award represents in substance equity contribution by the Parent Company. The cumulative expense recognized for stock options at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

The stock based compensation cost is recharged to the Company upon exercise, which is adjusted against share based compensation reserve.

2.4 Application of New Accounting Standards and Amendments

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notified new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.

The Company has assessed and applied the below accounting standards, as necessary with effect from April 1, 2025.

Lack of exchangeability - Amendments to Ind AS 21

MCA via notification dated May 7, 2025 announced amendments to Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows.

The amendments do not have a material impact on the Financial Statements.

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1

MCA via notification dated August 13, 2025 announced amendments to Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which elaborate on guidance set out in Ind AS 1 by:

• clarifying that the right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period;

a) must have substance, and b) must exist at the end of the reporting period;

• stating that management’s expectations around whether the settlement of a liability would be deferred or not, does not impact the classification of the liability;

• including requirements for liabilities that can be settled using an entity’s own instruments; and

• stating that at the reporting date, the entity does not consider covenants that will need to be complied with in the future when considering the classification of the debt as current or noncurrent.

In addition, an entity is required to disclose when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months.
