3.9 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
A contract is considered onerous when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligation under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract is measured at the lower of expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from a past event, with the resolution of the contingency dependent on uncertain future events, or a present obligation where no outflow is probable. Material contingent liabilities are disclosed in the standalone financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is remote.
3.10 Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company earns revenue from rendering business process management services to related parties.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services in an amount that reflects the transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to a particular performance obligation.
Nature of the services
The Company derives its Revenue from providing comprehensive business process management (BPM) services including tech enabled solutions across the payers and providers in the US Healthcare industry through its subsidiaries. The payer value chain comprises of claims management, payment integrity, clinical management, provider network operations, and front-office services, among others. The provider value chain includes end- to-end Revenue Cycle Management, integrating patient access, A/R management, and clinical services with licensed professionals.
The Company has revenue share arrangement with its subsidiaries present in United States, pursuant to which, it recognizes an agreed share on the total value of revenue from end client as its revenue.The Company's contractual right to revenue is based on the revenue from the end customer, net of all elements of variable consideration, to the extent accounted for by its subsidiaries.
Contract Asset and Liabilities
The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset.
A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. For example, the Company recognizes a receivable for revenues related to time and materials contracts or volume based contracts. The Company presents such receivables as part of trade receivables at their net estimated realizable value. The same is tested for impairment as per the guidance in Ind AS 109 using expected credit loss method.
Others
Any change in scope or price is considered as a contract modification. The Company accounts for modifications to existing contracts by assessing whether the services added are distinct and whether the pricing is at the stand-alone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the stand-alone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the stand-alone selling price.
The Company recognises an onerous contract provision when it is probable that the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.
The Company accounts for variable considerations like, volume discounts, rebates and pricing incentives to customers as reduction of revenue on a systematic and rational basis over the period of the contract.
The Company estimates an amount of such variable consideration using expected value method or the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration depending on which method better
predicts the amount of consideration to which the Company may be entitled.
Revenues are shown net of allowances/ returns, sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax and applicable discounts and allowances.
Incremental costs that relate directly to a contract and incurred in securing a contract with a customer are recognised as an asset when the Company expects to recover these costs and amortised over the contract term.
The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Unearned and deferred revenue ("contract liability”) is recognised when there are billings in excess of revenues. The billing schedules agreed with customers could include periodic performance-based payments and/or milestone- based progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period agreed with subsidiaries. Advances received for services are reported as liabilities until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.
Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition
The Company's contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple goods and services to a customer. The Company assesses the goods / services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.
The Company has applied the practical expedient provided by Ind AS 115, whereby it does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of the time value of money where the period between when the control on goods and services transferred to the customer and when payment thereof is due, is one year or less. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct good or service from the customer.
The Company uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. Where standalone selling price is not observable, the Company uses the expected cost- plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.
The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how a customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such good or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by nature of services rendered, customer category and pattern of revenue recognition.
3.11 Earnings / (loss) per share
Basic earnings/ (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as shares issued as consideration for common control transactions, bonus issue, amalgamations, bonus element in a rights issue, buyback, share
split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of equity shares considered to derive the basic EPS, and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares which are deemed converted at the beginning of reporting period, unless issued at a later date.
3.12 Tax expense
Tax expense comprises current and net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them as finance cost in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The amount of tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if 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.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, 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 and
loss at the time of the transaction. The carrying amount of deferred income 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 income tax asset to be utilized.
The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow the way the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Company. 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 realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve
a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.
3.13 Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
3.14 Other income
Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the standalone statement of profit and loss using effective interest rate method.
3.15 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM).
3.16 Share based payments arrangements
The Company measures compensation cost relating to share-based payments using the fair valuation method in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payments. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the option on a graded basis. The options generally vest in a graded manner over the vesting period. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such options. In Company share based payment arrangements, where the Company is either the settling entity for the share based awards or has an obligation to make payments to the parent company who is the sponsor of such awards, the awards are classified as cash settled in accordance with Ind AS. The cost of such cash-settled transactions is determined based on the fair value at the date when the grant is made and updated at each reporting date. The expected term of the awards is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual life of the award. In Company share based payment arrangements, where the Company is neither the settling entity for the share based awards nor has an obligation to make payments to the parent company who is the sponsor of such awards, the awards are classified as
equity settled in accordance with Ind AS. The cost of such equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The expected term of the awards is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual life of the award.
The cost of cash settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in the liability, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for cash-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Debit or credit in standalone statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee benefits expense.
When the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as such from the date of the modification. Such modification has following impact on standalone financial statements :
(a) The equity-settled share-based payment transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the modification date. Therefore, the equity- settled share-based payment transaction is recognised in equity on the modification date to the extent to which services have been received.
(b) The liability recognized previously for the cash- settled share-based payment transaction as at the modification date is derecognised on modification date.
(c) Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognised and the amount of equity recognised on the modification date is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.17 Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in equity instruments of subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment, if any.
Impairment test of Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at each reporting date.The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and its value-in-use.The recoverable amount of the CGUs was determined based on its value-in-use.The value-in-use is determined based on cash flow projections over a period of five years and terminal growth rate there after. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the value-in-use are set out below. The values assigned to revenue and EBITDA growth rates are based on management's assessment of future trends in the relevant businesses and are also based on historical data from both internal and external sources.Terminal growth rates (beyond 5 years) and the discount rate for goodwill impairment purposes have been estimated based on macroeconomic conditions and business factors.

34 Earnings per share ("EPS”)
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit/ (loss) for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
35 Segment information
The Company publishes the standalone financial statements along with the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating segments. the Company has disclosed the segment information in the consolidated financial statements and is exempt from disclosing segment information in the standalone financial statements.
Major Customers greater than 10% of total revenue
Revenue from two customers (one customer group) (31st March 2024 : two ) cumulatively accounted for 100% of the revenue from operations.
37 Employee benefits a) Defined contribution plans:
The contributions paid/ payable to Employee Provident Fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme and other funds, are determined under the relevant approved schemes and statutes and are recognised as an expense in the standalone statement of profit and loss during the year in which the employee renders the related service. There are no further obligations other than the contributions payable to the appropriate authorities by the Company.
During the year, the Company has recognised the following amounts in the standalone statement of profit and loss, which are included in contribution to provident and other funds:
b) Compensated absences:
The leave obligation pertains to the Company liability towards compensated absences. The entire amount of the provision of '341.17 millions (31st March 2024 : '293.86 millions) for compensated absences is presented as a current liability, as the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement beyond 12 months from the reporting date.
c) Defined benefit plans - Gratuity in India
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in accordance with The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The plan entitles an employee who has rendered at least five years of continuous service to receive 15 days salary for every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months based on the rate of last drawn salary (basic plus dearness allowance) by the employee concerned. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. Actuarial gains/ (losses) are recognised under other comprehensive income in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Based on the actuarial valuation obtained in this respect, the following table sets out the details of the employee benefit obligation and the plan assets as at the respective reporting dates:
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the standalone financial statements.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
Sensitivities due to mortality and withdrawals are not material and hence impact of change was not calculated.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables (including unbilled receivables), trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities approximate the carrying amount thereof as at 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024, largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
*The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs including currency spot and forward rates, and currency volatility.
#Discounted cash flows: The valuation model considers the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The own non-performance risk was assessed to be insignificant.
(a) Fair value hierarchy
The section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are:
a) recognised and measured at fair value.
b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statement.
To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into three levels as mentioned under Indian Accounting Standards.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no changes in fair value hierarchy during the previous year.
Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
Level 2:
Forward exchange contracts: The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date and present value calculations based on yield curves in the respective currencies.
39 Financial instruments - risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments: credit risk (refer note (b) below); liquidity risk (refer note (c) below); market risk (refer note (d) below).
(a) Risk management framework
The Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors have the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
The Company's Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Board is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and adhoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Board and appropriate corrective actions are taken as required.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counterparty to any other financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default
and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities derivative financial instruments and security deposits.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
The Company has an established process to evaluate the creditworthiness of its customers to minimise potential credit risk. Credit evaluations are performed by the Company before agreements to render services are entered into with prospective customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Two customer individually accounted for more than 10% of the outstanding trade receivable as at 31st March 2025 (31st March 2024 : two) The Company's credit period generally ranges from 60-90 days. The amounts outstanding in the balance sheet represent the maximum exposure to credit risk. The concentration risk with respect to trade receivables is high since these are receivables from two customer and one group. "
The Company establishes an allowance account for impairment that represents its estimate of losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The allowance account is used to provide for impairment losses. Subsequently when the Companyis satisfied that no recovery of such losses is possible, the financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is then written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.
The Company generate revenue from two of its subsidiaries which contribute more than 10% of total revenue of the Company, individually and 100% of the Company's revenue, collectively.
Financial instruments, deposits and balances with banks
Credit risk is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks and derivatives with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company periodically and the limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no significant liquidity risk is perceived.
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted contractual cash flows, and include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
As of 31st March 2025, the Company had a working capital of '5,859.84 Million (31st March 2024: '4,346.42 Million) including cash and cash equivalents of '899.44 Million (31st March 2024: '209.31 Million) and receivables of '8,913.18 Million (31st March 2024: '8,343.99 Million).
(d) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices which is mainly foreign exchange rates affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
i) Currency risk
(a) Foreign currency risk exposure
The exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in ', are as follows:
(b) Impact of hedging activities
The Company's hedging policy only allows for effective hedge relationships to be established. 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. The Company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item.
As the critical terms of the hedging instruments and their corresponding hedged items are the same, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of effectiveness and it is expected that the value of the hedging instruments and the value of the corresponding hedged items will systematically change in opposite direction in response to movements in the underlying exchange rates.
The Company monitors the aforesaid critical terms on a regular basis to assess if the hedging relationship remains highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness is recognised on a cash flow hedge in the statement of profit and loss. Ineffectiveness represents remaining portion of gain or loss on the hedging instrument that cannot be offset with the change in the fair value of the hedged item.
The table below analyses the derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity accompanyings based on the remaining maturity period as at the respective reporting dates:
ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate on the Company's borrowings are fixed, hence there is no interest rate risk.
40 Capital management
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company's capital structure includes debt and is influenced by the changes in regulatory framework, government policies, available options of financing and the impact of the same on the liquidity position.
The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'adjusted equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, including interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances. Adjusted equity comprises all components of equity except hedge reserve.
43 Capital and other commitments Capital commitments
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided (net of advances) amount to '39.21 Million (31st March 2024 : '110.23 Million).
44 Transfer pricing
The Finance Act, 2001 has introduced, with effect from assessment year 2002-03 (effective 1st April 2001), detailed transfer pricing regulations for computing the taxable income and expenditure from 'international transactions' between 'associated enterprises' on 'arm's length' basis. These regulations, inter alia, also require the maintenance of prescribed documents and information including furnishing a report from an Accountant within the due date of filing return of income. The Company has undertaken necessary steps to comply with the Transfer Pricing regulations and the prescribed certificate from the accountant will be obtained for the year ended 31st March 2025 within the due date. The management is of the opinion that the international transactions are at arm's length, and hence the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of the provision for taxation.Share based payments arrangements
45 Share based payments arrangements Share based payments arrangements plan
In June 2022, the immediate holding company issued share appreciation rights (SARs) to certain identified employees and non-executive directors of the Group. Each SAR granted entitles the employees/non-executive directors to a cash payout, computed as the difference between the distribution threshold of the SAR ('strike price') and the fair value of the SAR on the date the awards are fully vested. The SAR's issued will vest in five annual installments, subject to continued employment with the Group up to the vesting date and achievement of certain defined financial performance targets. However, such awards would only be conditionally vested as on the date when the service and performance conditions are met. 100% of the conditionally vested awards would unconditionally vest upon a change in control event, defined to be a date when the immediate holding company holds no more than 24% of the issued and outstanding equity share capital of the Company.
For certain employees, such time based vesting is 75% of the awards issued to them. The balance 25% of the awards will vest upon a change in control event, defined to be a date when the immediate holding company holds no more than 24% of the issued and outstanding equity share capital of the Company.
These awards were classified as liability settled cash awards till 25th June 2024, as the Company had an obligation to make payments in cash upon vesting of the awards as explained above. Pursuant to an amendment agreement entered into with the identified employees and non-executive directors on 25th June 2024, the obligation to settle these awards has been restricted to the immediate holding company only. Accordingly, with effect from 25th June 2024, the Company does not have the obligation to settle the awards in cash. The Company considers the amendment to be a modification of the awards. Additionally, based on the revised agreements, the Company considers the awards to be equity settled in nature.
Pursuant to such modification, the incremental fair value of all awards granted and outstanding as on the modification date amounted to '273 Million. Such incremental fair value of the awards is being accounted for over the vesting term of the awards on a graded basis. The incremental fair value was computed as a difference between the grant date fair value of the awards on the modification date computed in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the awards just before modification based on fair value of the immediate holding company considering it was cash settled awards.
Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the share price of the comparable listed companies, particularly over the historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term of the awards has been based on historical experience, general award holder behaviour and management's expectation of the change in control event as defined above.
During the year ended 31st March 2025, Nil awards were issued to key management personnel (31st March 2024 : Nil)
Pursuant to increase in fair value of the awards measured based on a cash settled liability together with the increase in fair value of awards pursuant to modification as explained above, total employee compensation cost pertaining to share based payment awards, recognized during the year ended 31st March 2025 amounted to '646.70 Million (31st March 2024 : '49.76 Million)
