37. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

I) General descriptions of defined benefit plans:

i) Gratuity plan

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("the Gratuity Plan") covering eligible Indian employees of LTIMindtree. The Gratuity Plan provides a lumpsum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment with the Company. The Company contributes gratuity liabilities to the LTIMindtree Employees' Group Gratuity Assurance Scheme and Mindtree Limited Employees Gratuity Fund Trust. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and SBI Life Insurance Company as permitted by Indian law.

ii) Post-retirement medical benefit plan

The post-retirement medical benefit plan provides for reimbursement of health care costs to certain categories of employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling limit sanctioned at the time of retirement. The ceiling limits are based on cadre of the employee at the time of retirement.

iii) Provident fund plan

The Company's provident fund plan is managed by its holding company through a Trust permitted under the Provident Fund Act, 1952. The plan envisages contribution by employer and employees of the Company and guarantees interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authority. The contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.

The interest payment obligation of trust managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the interest income on long-term investments of the fund. Any shortfall in the interest income over the interest obligation is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss. Any loss arising out of the investment risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognized as actuarial loss in the period in which such loss occurs. Further, Nil has been provided for year ending March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 based on actuarial valuation towards the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan.

In respect of employees of erstwhile Mindtree Limited monthly contributions were contributed to Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) till November 30, 2022. From December 1, 2022, the amount is contributed to the Trust.

*The Company has made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of these

investments as these are strategic investments and are not held for trading.

One percentage point change in the unobservable inputs used in fair valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities does not have a significant

impact on the value.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

i) The fair value of the quoted bonds and mutual funds are based on price quotations at reporting date.

ii) The fair values of the unquoted equity and preference shares have been estimated using a DCF model. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, discount rate, credit risk and volatility / the probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted investments.

iii) Mark to market on forward covers and embedded derivative instruments is based on forward exchange rates at the end of reporting period and discounted using G-sec rate plus applicable spread.

III) Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks - currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize the potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risks arising out of foreign exchange related exposures. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below:

i) Currency risk

The Company operates in multiple geographies and contracts in currencies other than the domestic currency exposing it to risks arising from fluctuation in the foreign exchange rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related exposures. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivative for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

The Company's revenues are principally in foreign currencies and the maximum exposure is in US dollars.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the financial risk management policy covering management of foreign currency exposures. The treasury department monitors the foreign currency exposures and enters into appropriate hedging instruments to mitigate its risk. The Company hedges its exposure on a net basis (i.e., expected revenue in foreign currency less expected expenditure in related currency). Consequently, the Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and option contracts, designated as cash flow hedges and fair value hedges to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its forecasted cash flows and on balance sheet exposures.

The details in respect of the outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts and option contracts are given under the derivative financial instruments section below.

I n respect of the Company's forward and options contracts, a 1% decrease / increase in the respective exchange rates of each of the currencies underlying such contracts would have resulted in:

a) an approximately H363 Million increase and H363 Million decrease in the Company's net profit in respect of its fair value hedges and H3,284 Million increase and H3,284 Million decrease in the Company's effective portion of cash flow hedges as at March 31, 2023;

b) an approximately H226 Million increase and H226 Million decrease in the Company's net profit in respect of its fair value hedges and H2,594 Million increase and H2,594 Million decrease in the Company's effective portion of cash flow hedges as at March 31, 2022.

out of the market factors like exchange rates on a regular basis. The counterparty in these derivative instruments is a bank and the Company considers the risks of non-performance by the counterparty as non-material. The Company has considered the effect of changes, if any, in both counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in assessing hedge effectiveness and measuring hedge ineffectiveness.

*Other currencies include currencies such as Emirati Dirham, Australian $, Canadian $, South African Rand, Singapore $, Norwegian Krone, etc.

As at March 31,2023, every 1 % increase / decrease in the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would result in increase / decrease in the Company's profit before taxes for the year by approximately 1.16% and (1.16)% respectively.

As at March 31,2022, every 1 % increase / decrease in the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would result in increase / decrease in the Company's profit before taxes for the year by approximately 0.84% and (0.84)% respectively.

A) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets / liabilities and certain Highly Probable Forecast Exposures (HPFE) denominated in foreign currency. The Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives to hedge foreign currency assets / liabilities and HPFE. The Company regularly reviews its foreign exchange forward and option positions both on a standalone basis and in conjunction with its underlying foreign currency related exposures. The Company monitors the potential risk arising

Actual future gains and losses associated with forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge may differ materially from the sensitivity analysis performed as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the timing and amount of changes in foreign currency exchanges rates and the Company's actual exposures and position.

ii) Interest risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no interest rate risk with respect to borrowings as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

iii) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by a counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The carrying amount of all financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk was H154,117 Million and H142,095 Million as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively being the total of the carrying amount of investments, trade receivables, unbilled revenue, cash and other bank balances and all other financial assets.

The principal credit risk that the Company exposed to is non-collection of trade receivable and late collection of receivable and on unbilled revenue leading to credit loss. The risk is mitigated by reviewing creditworthiness of the prospective customers prior to entering into contract and post contracting, through continuous monitoring of collections by a dedicated team.

The Company makes adequate provision for non-collection of trade receivable and unbilled receivables. Further, the Company has not suffered significant payment defaults by its customers. The Company has considered the latest available credit-ratings of customers to ensure the adequacy of allowance for expected credit loss towards trade and other receivables.

In addition, for delay in collection of receivable, the Company has made a provision for Expected Credit loss ('ECL') based on an ageing analysis of its trade receivable and unbilled revenue. The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenue based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. Exposure to customers is diversified and the percentage of revenue from its top five customers is 25.97% for 2022-23 (25.38% for 2021-22). No customer accounted for more than 10% of the trade receivables as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

ECL allowance for non-collection and delay in collection of receivable and unbilled revenue, on a combined basis was H1,961 Million and H1,311 Million for the financial years 2022-23 and 2021-22 respectively. The movement in allowance for doubtful debts comprising provision for both non-collection and delay in collections of receivable and unbilled revenue is as follows:

The Company is also exposed to counter-party risk in relation to financial instruments taken to hedge its foreign currency risks. The counter-parties are banks and the Company has entered into contracts with the counter-parties for all its hedge instruments and in addition, entered into suitable credit support agreements to limit counter party risk where necessary.

The Company's investments primarily include investment in mutual fund units, quoted bonds, commercial papers, non-convertible debentures, deposits with banks and financial institutions. The Company mitigates the risk of counter-party failure by investing in mutual fund schemes with large assets under management, investing in debt instruments issued with sound credit rating and placing corporate deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by domestic and international credit rating agencies. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies and analyzing market information on a continuous and evolving basis. Ratings are monitored periodically and the Company has considered the latest available credit ratings as well any other market information which may be relevant at the date of approval of these financial statements.

iv) 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's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding, investment as well as settlement management. Surplus funds are invested in non-speculative financial instruments that include highly liquid funds and corporate deposits. Also, the Company has unutilized credit limits with banks.

The Scheme of Arrangement ("the Scheme") for amalgamation between Syncordis Software Services India Private Limited and Ruletronics Systems Private Limited ('Transferor Companies'), wholly-owned subsidiaries, with the Company ('Transferee Company') was approved by the Mumbai Bench of National Company Law Tribunal and the Company received the certified true copy of the order on September 6, 2021.

The management has identified dues to micro and small enterprises as defined under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (MSMED) on the basis of information made available by the supplier or vendors of the Company.

48. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

Amount required to be spent by the Company on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) related activities during the year 2022-23 was H675 Million (for year 2021-22 H560 Million) and the actual amount spent is H680 Million (for year 2021-22 H564 Million, including a provision amount of H77 Million for unspent CSR).

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Cash Generating Units (CGU) or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use. Value-in-use is present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. The growth rate for forecast period of 5 years is based on historical trend and an appropriate annual growth rate is considered for periods subsequent to the forecast period. The pre-tax discount rate ranges from 16.4% to 18.9 % based on Weighted Average cost of Capital for the Company.

The Group does its impairment evaluation on an annual basis and based on such evaluation the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying amount, hence impairment is not triggered as at reporting date. The Group has performed sensitivity analysis for all key assumptions, including the cash flow projections and is unlikely to cause the carrying amount of the CGU exceed its estimated recoverable amount. These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows.
