Nature and purpose of each reserve

Capital reserve - During amalgamation / merger / acquisition, the excess of net assets taken, over the consideration paid, if any, is treated as capital reserve.

Securities premium - The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in securities premium. In case of equity-settled share based payment transactions, the difference between fair value on grant date and nominal value of share is accounted as securities premium. It is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Amalgamation reserve - The reserve was created pursuant to scheme of amalgamation in earlier years.

Capital redemption reserve - The Company has recognised capital redemption reserve on buyback of equity shares from its retained earnings. The amount in capital redemption reserve is equal to nominal amount of the equity shares bought back.

General reserve: The reserve arises on transfer portion of the net profit pursuant to the earlier provisions of Companies Act, 1956. Mandatory transfer to general reserve is not required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Equity instrument through OCI - The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investment in equity instrument in other comprehensive income. This amount will be reclassified to retained earnings on derecognition of equity instrument.

Debt instrument through OCI - This represents the cumulative gain and loss arising on fair valuation of debt instruments measured through other comprehensive income. This will be reclassified to statement of profit or loss on derecognition of debt instrument.

Foreign currency translation reserve - Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and the net assets of the Company's foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Company's presentation currency (i.e. ^) are recognised directly in the other comprehensive income and accumulated in foreign currency translation reserve. Exchange difference in the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to statement of profit or loss account on the disposal of the foreign operation.

Effective portion of cash flow hedges - The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of gains or losses arising on changes in fair value of designated portion of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges.

The cumulative gain or loss recognised and accumulated under the cash flow hedge reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss only when the hedged transaction affects the profit or loss, or included as a basis adjustment to the non-financial hedged item.

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The investments included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair value. The cost of unquoted investments approximates the fair value because there is wide range of possible fair value measurements and the costs represents estimate of fair value within that range.

# These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the Company has chosen to designate these investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the periods.

The management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost approximates their fair value.

NOTE: 44 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers, loans and investments. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparty to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

Investments

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counter-parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.

Other than trade receivables, the Company has recognised an allowance of ? 15.3 Million (March 31, 2022: ? 15.3 Million) against past due loans including interest and ? 500 Million (March 31, 2022: ? 500.0 Million) of other receivables based on assessment regarding its future recoverability.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.

The Company has unutilised working capital lines from banks of ? 35,780.0 Million as on March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022:

? 36,030.0 Million).

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company's exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company's foreign exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in US Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble). As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates relative to these foreign currencies, the Company's revenues and expenses measured in Indian rupees may decrease or increase and vice-versa. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and these foreign currencies have changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the Company uses both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts, currency swap contracts and foreign currency financial liabilities, to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.

b) Sensitivity

For the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, every 5% strengthening in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the respective currencies for the above mentioned financial assets/liabilities would (decrease) / increase the Company's profit and (decrease) / increase the Company's equity by approximately ? (2,685.5) Million and ? (651.9) Million respectively. A 5% weakening of the Indian rupee and the respective currencies would lead to an equal but opposite effect.

In management's opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

c) Derivative contracts

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk that arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses, primarily in US Dollars, Euros, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts and currency swap contracts (collectively, “derivatives”) to mitigate its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank or a financial institution.

Hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions

The Company designates its derivative contracts that hedge foreign exchange risk associated with its highly probable forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges and measures them at fair value. The effective portion of such cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income, and re-classified in the income statement as revenue in the period corresponding to the occurrence of the forecasted transactions. The ineffective portion of such cash flow hedges is immediately recorded in the statement of profit and loss.

In respect of the aforesaid hedges of highly probable forecasted transactions, the Company has recorded a net loss of ? 192.4 Million for the year ended March 31, 2023 and net loss of ? 492.4 Million for the year ended March 31, 2022 in other comprehensive income. The Company also recorded hedges as a component of revenue, loss of ? 1,076.9 Million for the year ended March 31, 2023 and gain of ? 1,128.3 Million for the year ended March 31, 2022 on occurrence of forecasted sale transaction.

Changes in the fair value of forward contracts and option contracts that economically hedge monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, and for which no hedge accounting is applied, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The changes in fair value of the forward contracts and option contracts, as well as the foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the monetary items, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Interest rate risk

As at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company has loan facilities which are either on fixed interest rates or are managed by interest rate swaps. Hence the Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

Commodity rate risk

Exposure to market risk with respect to commodity prices primarily arises from the Company's purchases and sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including the raw material components for such active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are commodity products, whose prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The prices of the Company's raw materials generally fluctuate in line with commodity cycles, although the prices of raw materials used in the Company's active pharmaceutical ingredients business are generally more volatile. Cost of raw materials forms the largest portion of the Company's cost of revenues. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through operating procedures and sourcing policies. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

NOTE: 47 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined contribution plan

Contributions are made to Regional Provident Fund (RPF), Family Pension Fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIC) and other Funds which covers all regular employees. While both the employees and the Company make predetermined contributions to the Provident Fund and ESIC, contribution to the Family Pension Fund and other Statutory Funds are made only by the Company. The contributions are normally based on a certain percentage of the employee's salary. Amount recognised as expense in respect of these defined contribution plans, aggregate to ? 951.9 Million (March 31, 2022: ? 872.1 Million).

Defined benefit plana) Gratuity

In respect of Gratuity, a defined benefit plan, contributions are made to LIC's Recognised Group Gratuity Fund Scheme. It is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the Gratuity Act, employees are entitled to specific benefit at the time of retirement or termination of the employment on completion of five years or death while in employment. The level of benefit provided depends on the member's length of service and salary at the time of retirement/ termination age. Provision for gratuity is based on actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary as at the year end. Each year, the Company reviews the level of funding in gratuity fund and decides its contribution. The Company aims to keep annual contributions relatively stable at a level such that the fund assets meets the requirements of gratuity payments in short to medium term.

b) Pension fund

The Company has an obligation towards pension, a defined benefit retirement plan, with respect to certain employees, who had already retired before March 01, 2013 and will continue to receive the pension as per the pension plan.

c) COVID-19 Employee children education support

The Company have undertaken an obligation to provide financial support towards education expenses of the children of those employees who have lost their lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Risks

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

i) Investment risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to the market yields on government bonds denominated in Indian Rupees. If the actual return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. However, the risk is partially mitigated by investment in LIC managed fund.

ii) Interest rate risk - A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.

iii) Longevity risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

iv) Salary risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Other long term benefit plan

Actuarial Valuation for compensated absences is done as at the year end and the provision is made as per Company policy with corresponding charge to the statement of profit and loss amounting to ? 234.8 Million [March 31, 2022: ? 539.5 Million] and it covers all regular employees. Major drivers in actuarial assumptions, typically, are years of service and employee compensation.

Obligation in respect of defined benefit plan and other long term employee benefit plans are actuarially determined as at the year end using the ‘Projected Unit Credit' method. Gains and losses on changes in actuarial assumptions relating to defined benefit obligation are recognised in other comprehensive income whereas gains and losses in respect of other long term employee benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue from sale of goods. Contract liabilities are on account of the upfront revenue received from customer for which performance obligation has not yet been completed.

The performance obligation is satisfied when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customers based on the contractual terms. Payment terms with customers vary depending upon the contractual terms of each contract.

The Company has recognised revenue of ? 3,239.1 Million from the amounts included under advance received from customers at the beginning of the year.

NOTE: 55

1 Intangible assets consisting of trademarks, designs, technical knowhow, non-compete fees and other intangible assets are available to the Company in perpetuity. The amortisable amount of intangible assets is arrived at based on the management's best estimates of useful lives of such assets after due consideration as regards their expected usage, the product life cycles, technical and technological obsolescence, market demand for products, competition and their expected future benefits to the Company.

2 Exceptional items includes

a) The Company has recognised an impairment charge of ? 29,377.9 Million in relation to the Company's investment in equity and preference shares of Sun Pharma Holdings, Mauritius, (“SPH”) amounting to ? 127,673.7 Million in the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Investment by SPH in its step down subsidiaries, primarily in Taro, are determined as CGU as they derive their revenue from pharmaceutical products.

The recoverable value of CGU represents its Value-in-use. The Value-in-use is determined using the discounted cash flow method on projections using a post-tax rate of 8% while the post-tax discount rate in previous year was 7%. As per management assessment, the fair valuation of the CGU is lower than its carrying value which is on account of various reasons including but not limited to pricing pressure in the United States, delays in launch of generic products, etc. Accordingly, the valuation gap has been addressed by impairment to that extent.

b) Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022 include a charge of ? 1,655.7 Million towards impairment of an acquired intangible asset under development.

c) The Company and certain of its subsidiaries were defendants in a number of class action lawsuits brought by purchasers and payors in the U.S. alleging violation of antitrust laws with respect to its ANDAs for Valganciclovir, Valsartan and Esomeprazole. The cases were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts for coordinated proceedings. With a view to resolve the dispute and avoid uncertainty, a settlement without any admission of guilt or violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation, or of any liability

or wrongdoing was reached with all of the plaintiff classes on March 23, 2022, for a total settlement amount of USD 485 Million of which USD 210 Million was borne by the Company along with its related legal charges of USD 8.3 Million pertaining to this lawsuit (equivalent to ? 16,549.6 Million inclusive of legal charges). The charge for the settlement was considered in the year ended March 31, 2022. The court granted final approval to the settlement and dismissed all of the cases in September 2022.

d) Consequent to the settlement of lawsuit mentioned in “c” above, during the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company has reassessed the expected timing of utilisation of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit and based on this reassessment written off a MAT credit of ? 4,406.0 Million and disclosed the charge as an exceptional item.

The Company does not intend to use the Karkhadi facility for drug product manufacturing for the U.S. market. The contribution of this facility to Company's revenues was negligible.

4. The US FDA, on January 23, 2014, had prohibited using API manufactured at Toansa facility for manufacture of finished drug products intended for distribution in the U.S. market. Consequentially, the Toansa manufacturing facility was subject to certain provisions of the consent decree of permanent injunction entered in January 2012 by erstwhile Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (which was merged with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. in March 2015). In addition, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey (US DOJ) had also issued an administrative subpoena, dated March 13, 2014, seeking information. The Company has fully cooperated and provided the requisite information to the US DOJ. All the Drug Master Files (DMF) from Toansa Facility for the U.S. market have been withdrawn, and the Company does not intend to use the facility for the U.S. market.

5. The Halol facility was placed under import alert in December 2022. US FDA has exempted 14 products from import alert, subject to certain conditions.

The Company is in communication with the US FDA to resolve the outstanding issues underlying OAI status and import alert.

6. In September 2013, the US FDA had put the Mohali facility under import alert, and it was also subjected to certain provisions of the consent decree of permanent injunction entered in January 2012 by erstwhile Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (which was merged with Parent Company in March 2015). In March 2017, the US FDA lifted the import alert

and indicated that the facility was in compliance with the requirements of cGMP provisions mentioned in the consent decree.

The August 2022 US FDA inspection of Mohali facility was classified as Official Action Indicated (OAI) and subsequently, in April 2023, the US FDA issued a Non-Compliance letter to the Mohali facility. As a result, US FDA has directed the Company to take certain corrective actions at the Mohali facility before releasing further final product batches into the US. These actions include, among others, retaining an independent cGMP expert to conduct batch certifications of drugs manufactured at the Mohali facility and for shipment to the U.S. market.

7. In accordance with Ind AS 108 “Operating Segments”, segment information has been given in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, and therefore, no separate disclosure on segment information is given in these standalone financial statements.

11. On March 01, 2023, the Company disclosed an information security incident that impacted some of the Company's IT assets. The Company promptly took steps to contain and remediate the impact of the information security incident, including employing appropriate containment protocols to mitigate the threat, employing enhanced security measures and utilising global cyber security experts to ensure the integrity of the Company's IT systems' infrastructure and data. As part of the containment measures, the Company proactively isolated its network and initiated recovery procedures. As a result of these measures, certain business operations were also impacted.
