Capital Allocation Policy

"Effective from financial year 2025, the Company expects to continue its policy of returning approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a five-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends and / or share buyback / special dividends, subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any." Under this policy, the Company expects to progressively increase its annual dividend per share (excluding special dividend, 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.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid an interim dividend of '21 per equity share and announced a final dividend of '22 per share, subject to shareholders' approval in the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). Including the final dividend declared above, the Company has returned approximately '17,814 crore, which is 51.6% of the free cash flow for fiscal 2025 through dividends, in line with the Capital Allocation Policy.

The Capital Allocation Policy is available on our website, at

https://www.infosys.com/investors/corporate-governance/

documents/capital-allocation-policy.pdf.

Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investments and the cash flow that we generate from our operations. We continue to be debt-free and maintain sufficient cash to meet our strategic and operational requirements. We understand that liquidity in the Balance Sheet has to balance between earning adequate returns and the need to cover financial and business requirements. Liquidity enables us to be agile and ready for meeting unforeseen strategic and business needs and opportunities.

As of March 31, 2025, we had '45,406 crore in working capital on a standalone basis, and '54,249 crore on a consolidated basis.

Consolidated cash and investments stand at '35,916 crore on a standalone basis and '47,549 crore on a consolidated basis as on March 31, 2025, as against '30,579 crore on a standalone basis, and '39,005 crore on a consolidated basis as on March 31, 2024.

Consolidated cash and investments, on both standalone and consolidated basis, include deposits with banks with high credit ratings by international and domestic credit rating agencies.

As a result, liquidity risk of cash and cash equivalents is limited. Ratings are monitored periodically. Liquid assets also include investments in liquid mutual fund units, target maturity funds units, Certificates of Deposit (CDs), Commercial Paper (CP), quoted bonds and securities issued by government and quasigovernment organizations, and non-convertible debentures. CDs and CPs represent marketable securities of banks, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and eligible financial institutions for a specified time period with high credit rating given by domestic credit rating agencies. Government securities are highly liquid and marketable instruments issued across tenure, backed by the Government of India carrying a sovereign credit. Investments made in non-convertible debentures are issued by government-owned institutions and financial institutions with high credit rating. We invest after considering counterparty risks based on multiple criteria including Tier-I capital, capital adequacy ratio, credit rating, profitability, Non Performing Asset (NPA) levels and deposit base of banks and financial institutions.

The details of these investments are disclosed under the 'non-current and current investments' section in the Standalone and Consolidated financial statements in this Integrated Annual Report.

Resolution hubs

Infosys' unwavering commitment has always been to foster an open, inclusive and safe workplace where every employee can thrive.

Our forums include a well-established and robust grievance resolution mechanism.

Resolution hubs adhere to the principles of natural justice, ensure confidentiality, and non-retaliation while addressing concerns. The concerns are handled with utmost sensitivity and are redressed in a time-bound manner. A detailed investigation is conducted to ensure fairness and provide an opportunity to present facts and any material evidence pertaining to the grievance.

Our ASHI initiative has set an industry benchmark, being ranked first among 350 companies that participated in an external survey on the best anti-sexual harassment initiatives in 2017 and 2019-2024.

as the presiding officer in each case. Half of the total members of the IC are women. The role of the IC is not restricted to mere redressal of complaints but also encompasses prevention and prohibition of sexual harassment. In the last few years, the IC has worked extensively on creating awareness on relevance of sexual harassment issues in the new normal by using new and innovative measures to help employees understand the forms of sexual harassment while working remotely. The details of sexual harassment complaints that were filed, resolved and pending during the financial year are provided in the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report of this Integrated Annual Report.
