Notes:
| 1. | The audited financial statements have been taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on October 10, 2008. There are no qualifications in the auditors’ reports for these periods. The information presented above is extracted from the audited financial statements as stated. |

The financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after eliminating intra-group balances and transactions and resulting unrealized gains / losses. The consolidated financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies. |
| 3. | An interim dividend of Rs. 10.00 per share (200% on an equity share of par value of Rs. 5/-) has been declared at the above board meeting. The record date for the payment of the dividend will be October 17, 2008. The interim dividend declared in the previous year was Rs. 6.00 per share (120% on an equity share of par value of Rs. 5/-). |
| 4. | The final dividend of Rs. 7.25 per share (145% on an equity share of par value of Rs. 5/-) and a special dividend of Rs. 20.00 per share (400% on an equity share of par value of Rs. 5/-) for fiscal 2008 was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the company held on June 14, 2008, and the same was paid on June 16, 2008. |
| 5. | The Finance Act, 2007 included Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) on Employee Stock Option’s Plan (ESOPs). FBT liability crystallizes on the date of exercise of stock options. During the half-year ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008, the company issued 5,04,097 shares and 7,85,896 equity shares, respectively, pursuant to the exercise of stock options by certain employees under the 1998 and 1999 stock option plans. During the half-year ended September 30, 2007, there was no exercise of options under both the plans. FBT on exercise of stock options of Rs. 2 crore each for the half-year ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008 has been paid by the company and subsequently recovered from the employees.

| 7. | Pursuant to the changes in the Indian Income Tax Act, the company has calculated its tax liability after considering Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT).

Accordingly, Rs. 300 crore is shown under “Loans and Advances” in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. |
| 8. | The tax provision for the half-years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 and fiscal 2008 includes a reversal of Rs. 31 crore, Rs. 51 crore and Rs. 121 crore (net) respectively relating to liabilities no longer required. |

Also, the company recorded health insurance liabilities based on the maximum individual claimable amounts by employees and during the year ended March 31, 2008, the company completed its reconciliation of amounts actually claimed by employees to date, including past years, with the aggregate amount of recorded liability resulting in a write-back of net excess provision of Rs. 71 crore. |
| 10. | Effective July 1, 2007, the company revised the employee death benefits provided under the gratuity plan, and included all eligible employees under a consolidated term insurance cover. Accordingly, the obligations under the gratuity plan reduced by Rs. 37 crore, which has been amortized on a straight line basis to the net profit and loss account over 10 years representing the average future service life of employees. |
