Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. 1.3 Basis of consolidation Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded. Refer to Note 2.20 for the list of subsidiaries and controlled trusts of the Company. 1.4 Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates and judgments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19 (COVID-19): The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements including the recoverability of carrying amounts of financial and non-financial assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has, at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, used internal and external sources of information including credit reports and related information and economic forecasts and expects that the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. 1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgements a. Revenue recognition The Group’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to the contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period. Revenue from a fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables. The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. b. Income taxes The Group's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the United States, though the company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced (Refer to Note 2.18). c. Business combinations and intangible assets Business combinations are accounted for using IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires us to fair value identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management (Refer to Note 2.9 and 2.10). d. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology (Refer to Note 2.7). e. Impairment of Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (“CGU”) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins (Refer to Note 2.9). f. Leases As a lessee, the Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Infosys’ operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Group has concluded that no material changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts (Refer to Note 2.8). g. Non-current assets and Disposal groups held for sale Assets and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the disposal groups has been estimated using valuation techniques including income and market approach which includes unobservable inputs. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the Non-current asset and disposal group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for Sale" criteria. Recoverable amounts of assets reclassified from held for sale have been estimated using management’s assumptions which consist of significant unobservable inputs. h. Allowance for Credit Loss on receivables and unbilled revenue The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the COVID-19 pandemic. 1.6 Recent accounting pronouncements 1.6.1 Standards issued but not yet effective New and revised IFRS Standards in issue but not yet effective: Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment : Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous Contracts Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting, Estimates and Errors :Definition of Accounting Estimates Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements :Disclosure of Accounting Policies Amendments to IAS 16 On May 14, 2020, IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use (“Amendments to IAS 16”) which amends the standard to prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The effective date for the adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Group has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 37 On May 14, 2020 IASB issued Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (“Amendments to IAS 37”) which specifies that the “cost of fulfilling” a contract comprises the “costs that relate directly to the contract”. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract). The effective date for adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2) The IASB has finalized its response to the ongoing reform of Inter-Bank Offered Rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks by issuing a package of amendments to IFRS Standards in August 2020. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The amendments in this final phase relate to practical expedient for particular changes in contractual cash flows, relief from specific hedge accounting requirements and certain disclosure requirement. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, although early adoption is permitted. The Group has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 8 On February 12, 2021, IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and Errors which introduced a definition of ‘accounting estimates’ and included amendments to IAS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Group has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 1 On February 12, 2021 International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements which requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. |

Disclosure Of Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | 2.3 Financial instruments Accounting policy 2.3.1 Initial recognition The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date. 2.3.2 Subsequent measurement a. Non-derivative financial instruments (i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. (iv) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option arrangements recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. b. Derivative financial instruments The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. Bank counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank. (i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges. Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date. (ii) Cash flow hedge The Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. 2.3.3 Derecognition of financial instruments The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. 2.3.4 Fair value of financial instruments In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. Refer to table ‘Financial instruments by category’ below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the balance sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. 2.3.5 Impairment The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenue with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recorded is recognized as an impairment loss or gain in consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Financial instruments by category The carrying value and fair value of financial instruments by categories as of March 31, 2021 were as follows: (Dollars in millions) Financial assets/ liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets/liabilities at fair value through OCI Amortised cost Designated upon initial recognition Mandatory Equity instruments designated upon initial recognition Mandatory Total carrying value Total fair value Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (Refer to Note 2.1) 3,380 — — — — 3,380 3,380 Investments (Refer to Note 2.2) Liquid mutual funds — — 205 — — 205 205 Quoted debt securities 294 — — — 1,408 1,702 1,755 (1) Unquoted equity and preference securities — — 2 23 — 25 25 Unquoted Compulsorily convertible debentures — — 1 — — 1 1 Unquoted investments others — — 10 — — 10 10 Trade receivables 2,639 — — — — 2,639 2,639 Unbilled revenues (3) 489 — — — — 489 489 Prepayments and other assets (Refer to Note 2.4) 544 — — — — 544 531 (2) Derivative financial instruments — — 23 — 3 26 26 Total 7,346 — 241 23 1,411 9,021 9,061 Liabilities: Trade payables 362 — — — — 362 362 Lease liabilities 728 — — — — 728 728 Derivative financial instruments — — 8 — 8 8 Financial liability under option arrangements (Refer to Note 2.10) — — 95 — — 95 95 Other liabilities including contingent consideration (Refer to Note 2.5) 1,351 — 22 — — 1,373 1,373 Total 2,441 — 125 — — 2,566 2,566 (1) On account of fair value changes including interest accrued (2) Excludes interest accrued on quoted debt securities carried at amortized cost of $13 million (3) Excludes unbilled revenue on contracts where the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones The carrying value and fair value of financial instruments by categories as of March 31, 2020 were as follows: (Dollars in millions) Financial assets/ liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets/liabilities at fair value through OCI Amortised cost Designated upon initial recognition Mandatory Equity instruments designated upon initial recognition Mandatory Total carrying value Total fair value Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (Refer to Note 2.1) 2,465 — — — — 2,465 2,465 Investments (Refer to Note 2.2) Liquid mutual funds — — 278 — — 278 278 Fixed maturity plan securities — — 65 — — 65 65 Quoted debt securities 244 — — — 404 648 688 (1) Certificates of deposit — — — — 149 149 149 Unquoted equity and preference securities: — — 1 14 — 15 15 Unquoted investments others — — 7 — — 7 7 Trade receivables 2,443 — — — — 2,443 2,443 Unbilled revenues (3) 369 — — — — 369 369 Prepayments and other assets (Refer to Note 2.4) 476 — — — — 476 465 (2) Derivative financial instruments — — 7 — 1 8 8 Total 5,997 — 358 14 554 6,923 6,952 Liabilities: Trade payables 377 — — — — 377 377 Lease liabilities 612 — — — — 612 612 Derivative financial instruments — — 62 — 3 65 65 Financial liability under option arrangements (Refer to Note 2.10) — — 82 — — 82 82 Other liabilities including contingent consideration (Refer to Note 2.5) 1,054 — 45 — — 1,099 1,099 Total 2,043 — 189 — 3 2,235 2,235 (1) On account of fair value changes including interest accrued (2) Excludes interest accrued on quoted debt securities carried at amortized cost of $11 million (3) Excludes unbilled revenue on contracts where the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones For trade receivables and trade payables and other assets and payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Fair value hierarchy 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).

The Group's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Group is foreign exchange risk. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Group'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. Market risk The Group operates internationally, and a major portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in the United States and elsewhere, and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Group is also exposed to foreign exchange risk arising on intercompany transaction in foreign currencies. The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Group’s operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies. The following table analyzes foreign currency risk from financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021: (Dollars in millions) U.S. dollars Euro United Kingdom Pound Sterling Australian dollars Other currencies Total Net financial assets 2,140 466 181 167 232 3,186 Net financial liabilities (957 ) (352 ) (85 ) (110 ) (187 ) (1,691 ) Total 1,183 114 96 57 45 1,495 The following table analyzes foreign currency risk from financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2020: (Dollars in millions) U.S. dollars Euro United Kingdom Pound Sterling Australian dollars Other currencies Total Net financial assets 1,969 378 183 109 226 2,865 Net financial liabilities (804 ) (231 ) (88 ) (44 ) (134 ) (1,301 ) Total 1,165 147 95 65 92 1,564 For the years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar has affected the company's incremental operating margins by approximately 0.47%, 0.45% and 0.47%, respectively. Sensitivity analysis is computed based on the changes in the income and expenses in foreign currency upon conversion into functional currency, due to exchange rate fluctuations between the previous reporting period and the current reporting period. Derivative financial instruments The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures.

The foreign exchange forward and option contracts mature within 12 months. The table below analyzes the derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as of the balance sheet date: (Dollars in millions) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Not later than one month 842 752 Later than one month and not later than three months 1,104 1,153 Later than three months and not later than one year 536 424 2,482 2,329 During fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group has designated certain foreign exchange forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserve as of March 31, 2021 are expected to occur and reclassified to statement of comprehensive income within three months. 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, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items. If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing. The following table provides the reconciliation of cash flow hedge reserve: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 Year ended March 31, 2020 Gain / (Loss) Balance at the beginning of the period (2 ) 3 Gain / (Loss) recognized in other comprehensive income during the period (16 ) 3 Amount reclassified to profit or loss during the period 21 (10 ) Tax impact on above (1 ) 2 Balance at the end of the period 2 (2 ) The Group offsets a financial asset and a financial liability when it currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to $2,639 million and $2,443 million as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively and unbilled revenue amounting to $1,111 million and $941 million as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Trade receivables and unbilled revenue are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States of America. Credit risk has always been managed by the Group through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Group uses the expected credit loss model to assess any required allowances; and uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues. This matrix takes into account credit reports and other related credit information to the extent available. The Group'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 there is no single customer contributing more than 10% of outstanding trade receivables and unbilled revenues. The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top ten customers: (In %) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Revenue from top customer 3.2 3.1 3.6 Revenue from top ten customers 18.1 19.2 19.0 Credit risk exposure The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances was $25 million, $23 million and $34 million for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Credit exposure The Group’s credit period generally ranges from 30-60 days. (Dollars in millions) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Trade receivables 2,639 2,443 Unbilled revenues 1,111 941 Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was 71 days and 69 days, respectively. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Ratings are monitored periodically and the Group has considered the latest credit rating information to the extent available as at the date of these consolidated financial statements. Majority of investments of the Group are fair valued based on Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. These investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, fixed maturity plans, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi government organizations, non-convertible debentures, certificates of deposit, commercial papers and government securities. The Group invests after considering counterparty risks based on multiple criteria including Tier I Capital, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Credit Rating, Profitability, NPA levels and Deposit base of banks and financial institutions. These risks are monitored regularly as per Group’s risk management program. Liquidity risk The Group's principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and investments and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group has no outstanding borrowings. The Group believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. As of March 31, 2021, the Group had a working capital of $5,043 million including cash and cash equivalents of $3,380 million and current investments of $320 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Group had a working capital of $4,455 million including cash and cash equivalents of $2,465 million and current investments of $615 million. As at March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, the outstanding employee benefit obligations were $289 million and $247 million, respectively, which have been substantially funded. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

Provisions and Other Contingencies | 2.6 Provisions and other contingencies Accounting policy a. Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. b. Post sales client support The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post-sales support on all its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in cost of sales. The Group estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence. c. Onerous contracts Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. Provisions comprise the following: (Dollars in millions) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Provision for post sales client support and other provisions 97 76 97 76 Provision for post sales client support and other provisions represents costs associated with providing sales support services which are accrued at the time of recognition of revenues and are expected to be utilized over a period of 1 year.

Property, plant and equipment | 2.7 Property, plant and equipment Accounting policy Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Buildings 22 - 25 years Plant and machinery (1) 5 years Computer equipment 3-5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term (1) Includes solar plant with a useful life of 20 years. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Disclosure Of Quantitative Information About Leases For Lessee [Abstract] | |
Leases | 2.8 Leases Accounting Policy The Group as a lessee The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Group changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows. The Group as a lessor Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Transition Effective April 1, 2019, the Group adopted IFRS 16 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Consequently, the Group recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the ROU asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Comparatives for the year ended March 31, 2019 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore, continues to be reported under the accounting policies included as part of our financial statements included in Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2019. On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of ROU asset of $420 million, 'Net investment in sublease of ROU assets of $62 million and lease liabilities of $520 million. The cumulative effect of applying the standard, amounting to $6 million was debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. The effect of this adoption in fiscal 2020 is insignificant on the operating profit, net profit for the period and earnings per share.

Intangible Assets And Goodwill [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | 2.9 Goodwill and intangible assets 2.9.1 Goodwill Accounting policy Goodwill represents the purchase consideration in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the net profit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGU’s which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income and is not reversed in the subsequent period. Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill: (Dollars in millions) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Carrying value at the beginning 699 512 Goodwill on HIPUS acquisition (Refer to Note 2.10) — 16 Goodwill on Stater acquisition (Refer to Note 2.10) — 57 Goodwill on Simplus acquisition (Refer to Note 2.10) — 130 Goodwill on acquisitions during the year (Refer to Note 2.10) 102 — Translation differences 31 (16 ) Carrying value at the end 832 699 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 are benefited from the synergies of the acquisition. The Group internally reviews the goodwill for impairment at the operating segment level, after allocation of the goodwill to CGUs or groups of CGUs. The following table presents the allocation of goodwill to operating segments as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020: (Dollars in millions) As of Segments March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Financial services 186 167 Retail 109 66 Communication 82 62 Energy, utilities, Resources and Services 143 117 Manufacturing 67 50 587 462 Operating segments without significant goodwill 127 102 Total 714 564 The goodwill pertaining to Panaya is tested for impairment at the entity level as at March 31, 2021 and amounts to $118 million. The goodwill pertaining to Panaya, Kallidus and Skava are tested for impairment at the respective entity level, amounting to $135 million as at March 31, 2020. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The fair value of a CGU is determined based on the market capitalization. Value-in-use is determined based on discounted future cash flows. The key assumptions used for the calculations are as follows: (in %) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Long term growth rate 8-10 7-10 Operating margins 19-21 17-20 Discount rate 11.7 11.9 The above discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital of the Company. As at March 31, 2021, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded its carrying amount. Reasonable sensitivities in key assumptions consequent to the change in estimated future economic conditions on account of possible effects relating to the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikely to cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the cash generating units. 2.9.2 Intangible assets Accounting policy Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Impairment Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Disclosure Of Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business combinations and Disposal group held for sale | 2.10 Business combinations and Disposal group held for sale a. Business combinations Accounting Policy: Business combinations are accounted using the acquisition method. The purchase price in an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The purchase price also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries. Business combinations between entities under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations and is accounted for at carrying value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The payments related to options issued by the Group over the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognised. Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finders’ fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred.

Disposal group held for sale Accounting policy Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for Sale" criteria. During fiscal 2018, the Company initiated identification and evaluation of potential buyers for its subsidiaries, Kallidus and Skava (together referred to as "Skava”) and Panaya, collectively referred to as the “Disposal Group”. The disposal group was classified and presented separately as “Held for Sale” and was carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value. Consequently, a reduction in the fair value of disposal group held for sale amounting to $18 million in respect of Panaya has been recognized for fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2019, on remeasurement, including consideration of progress in negotiations on offers from prospective buyers for Panaya, the Company recorded a reduction in the fair value of disposal group held for sale amounting to $39 million in respect of Panaya. Further, based on evaluation of proposals received and progress of negotiations with potential buyers, the Company concluded that the disposal group did not meet the criteria for “Held for Sale’ classification because it was no longer highly probable that sale would be consummated by March 31, 2019 ( twelve months from date of initial classification as “Held for Sale”) Accordingly, in accordance with IFRS 5 -" Non current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" On reclassification from “Held for Sale”, the assets of Panaya and Skava have been remeasured at the lower of cost and recoverable amount resulting in recognition of an adjustment in respect of excess of carrying amount over recoverable amount on reclassification from "Held for Sale" of $65 million (comprising of $52 million towards goodwill and $13 million towards value of customer relationships) in respect of Skava in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for fiscal 2019. |

Revenue [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Operations | 2.11 Revenue from operations Accounting policy The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, licensing of software products and platforms across the Group’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related services”) and business process management services. Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or fixed-timeframe basis. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved in writing, by the parties, to the contract, the parties to the contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (“performance obligations”) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group has received or expects to receive in exchange for these products or services (“transaction price”). When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Group allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In the absence of such evidence, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin, under which the Group estimates the cost of satisfying the performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services. The Group’s contracts may include variable consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Group includes variable consideration as part of transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the variable consideration and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Revenue on time-and-material and unit of work-based contracts, are recognized as the related services are performed. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably either on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue from other fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Efforts or costs expended are used to determine progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Progress towards completion is measured as the ratio of costs or efforts incurred to date (representing work performed) to the estimated total costs or efforts. Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contracts and are recognized in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance-based billing and / or milestone-based progress billings. Revenues in excess of billing are classified as unbilled revenue while billing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues). In arrangements for software development and related services and maintenance services, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation, the arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering software development and related services as distinct performance obligations. For allocating the transaction price, the Group measures the revenue in respect of each performance obligation of a contract at its relative standalone selling price. The price that is regularly charged for an item when sold separately is the best evidence of its standalone selling price. In cases where the Group is unable to determine the standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For software development and related services, the performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses. Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license is made available to the customer. Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to access” is recognized over the access period. Arrangements to deliver software products generally have three elements: license, implementation and Annual Technical Services (ATS). When implementation services are provided in conjunction with the licensing arrangement and the license and implementation have been identified as two distinct separate performance obligations, the transaction price for such contracts are allocated to each performance obligation of the contract based on their relative standalone selling prices. In the absence of standalone selling price for implementation, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. Where the license is required to be substantially customized as part of the implementation service the entire arrangement fee for license and implementation is considered to be a single performance obligation and the revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as the implementation is performed. Revenue from client training, support and other services arising due to the sale of software products is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. ATS revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the period in which the services are rendered. Contracts with customers includes subcontractor services or third-party vendor equipment or software in certain integrated services arrangements. In these types of arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor products or services is recorded net of costs when the Group is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Group is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Group first evaluates whether it controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it has the primary obligation to fulfil the contract, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the goods or service and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract (i.e., costs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained) are recognized as an asset if the Group expects to recover them. Certain eligible, nonrecurring costs (e.g. set-up or transition or transformation costs) that do not represent a separate performance obligation are recognized as an asset when such costs (a) relate directly to the contract; (b) generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered. Such capitalized contract costs are amortized over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its statement of comprehensive income. Revenues for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Revenue from software services 12,604 12,003 11,184 Revenue from products and platforms 957 777 615 13,561 12,780 11,799 The Group has evaluated the impact of the COVID–19 pandemic on (i) the possibility of constraints in our ability to render services which may require revision of estimations of costs to complete the contract because of additional efforts; (ii) onerous obligations; (iii) penalties relating to breaches of service level agreements; and (iv) termination or deferment of contracts by customers. The Group has concluded that the impact of the COVID–19 pandemic is not significant based on these estimates. Due to the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group will continue to monitor developments to identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in future periods. Disaggregated revenue information The table below presents disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by geography and offerings for each of our business segments. The Group believes this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.

Digital Services Digital Services comprise of service and solution offerings of the Group that enable our clients to transform their businesses. These include offerings that enhance customer experience, leverage AI-based analytics and big data, engineer digital products and IoT, modernize legacy technology systems, migrate to cloud applications and implement advanced cyber security systems. Core Services Core Services comprise traditional offerings of the Group that have scaled and industrialized over a number of years. These primarily include application management services, proprietary application development services, independent validation solutions, product engineering and management, infrastructure management services, traditional enterprise application implementation, support and integration services. Products & platforms The Group also derives revenues from the sale of products and platforms including Finacle – core banking solution, Edge Suite of products, Infosys Nia – Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform which applies next-generation AI and machine learning, Panaya platform, Skava platform, Stater digital platform and Infosys McCamish – insurance platform. Trade Receivables and Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in Receivables, Unbilled Revenue, and Unearned Revenue on the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. The Group’s Receivables are rights to consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time & material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as a financial asset when the right to consideration is unconditional and is due only after a passage of time. Invoicing to the clients for other fixed price contracts is based on milestones as defined in the contract and therefore, the timing of revenue recognition is different from the timing of invoicing to the customers. Therefore, Unbilled Revenues for other fixed price contracts (contract asset) are classified as non-financial asset because the right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones. Invoicing in excess of earnings are classified as unearned revenue. Trade receivable and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the consolidated statements of financial position. During fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group recognized revenue of $336 million, $341 million and $319 million, respectively, arising from opening unearned revenue as of April 1, 2020, April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2018. During fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, $515 million, $418 million and $474 million of unbilled revenue pertaining to other fixed price, fixed time frame contracts as of April 1, 2020, April 1, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively, has been reclassified to trade receivables upon billing to customers on completion of milestones. Performance obligations and remaining performance obligations The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as of the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Group expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in IFRS 15, the Group has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognized corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance completed to date, typically those contracts where invoicing is on time & material basis and unit of work based contracts. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency fluctuations. The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as of March 31, 2021, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above, is $9,560 million. Out of this, the Group expects to recognize revenue of around 50% within the next one year and the remaining thereafter. The aggregate value of performance obligations that are completely or partially unsatisfied as at March 31, 2020 is $7,391 million. The contracts can generally be terminated by the customers and typically includes an enforceable termination penalty payable by them. Generally, customers have not terminated contracts without cause. |

Disclosure Of Defined Benefit Plans [Abstract] | |
Employee benefits | 2.14 Employee benefits Accounting policy Gratuity and Pensions The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees, majorly of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum 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 Group. The Company contributes gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by India Law. The Group operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with the local laws. These plans are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for periodic payouts after retirement and/or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. Liabilities with regard to these defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an external actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. These defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and market risk. The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / asset are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of comprehensive income. Provident fund Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate. In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The Companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions. Superannuation Certain employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India. Compensated absences The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur. 2.14.1 Gratuity and Pensions The following tables set out the funded status of the Indian gratuity plans and the amounts recognized in the Group’s financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020: (Dollars in millions) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Change in benefit obligations Benefit obligations at the beginning 185 195 Service cost 28 25 Interest expense 12 13 Remeasurements - Actuarial losses / (gains) 4 (11 ) Benefits paid (14 ) (20 ) Translation differences 7 (17 ) Benefit obligations at the end 222 185 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at the beginning 201 197 Interest Income 13 14 Remeasurements – Returns on plan assets excluding amounts included in interest income 2 2 Contributions 10 27 Benefits paid (13 ) (19 ) Translation differences 7 (20 ) Fair value of plan assets at the end 220 201 Funded status - Prepaid defined benefit plan asset / (Accrued defined benefit plan liability) (2 ) 16 Net gratuity cost for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 comprises the following components: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Service cost 28 25 23 Net interest on the net defined benefit liability / asset (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) Net gratuity cost 27 24 22 Amount for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 recognized in statement of other comprehensive income: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / asset Actuarial (gains) / losses 4 (11 ) 5 (Return) / loss on plan assets excluding amounts included in the net interest on the net defined benefit liability / asset (2 ) (2 ) (1 ) Total 2 (13 ) 4 (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 (Gain) / loss from change in demographic assumptions — — — (Gain) / loss from change in financial assumptions 2 (8 ) 4 (Gain) / loss from change in experience adjustments 2 (3 ) 1 4 (11 ) 5 The gratuity cost recognized in the statement of comprehensive income apportioned between cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses on the basis of direct employee cost is as follows: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Cost of sales 24 21 20 Selling and marketing expenses 2 2 1 Administrative expenses 1 1 1 27 24 22 The weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 are set out below: As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Discount rate 6.1 % 6.2 % Weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels 6.0 % 6.0 % Weighted average duration of defined benefit obligation 5.9 years 5.9 years The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 are set out below: Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate for the year 6.2 % 7.1 % 7.5 % Weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels 6.0 % 8.0 % 8.0 % Discount rate In India, the market for high quality corporate bonds being not developed, the yield of government bonds is considered as the discount rate. The tenure has been considered taking into account the past long-term trend of employees’ average remaining service life which reflects the average estimated term of the post- employment benefit obligations. Weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels The average rate of increase in compensation levels is determined by the Company, considering factors such as, the Company’s past compensation revision trends and management’s estimate of future salary increases. Attrition rate Attrition rate considered is the management’s estimate based on the past long-term trend of employee turnover in the Company. Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set in accordance with the published statistics by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company assesses these assumptions with its projected long-term plans of growth and prevalent industry standards. The discount rate is based on the government securities yield. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the plan assets have been primarily invested in insurer managed funds. Actual return on assets for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $15 million, $16 million and $14 million, respectively. Sensitivity of significant assumptions used for valuation of defined benefit obligation: (Dollars in millions) Impact from one percentage point increase / decrease in As at March 31, 2021 Discount rate 11 Weighted average rate of increase in compensation levels 9 Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation by one percentage, keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant. The Group expects to contribute $31 million to the gratuity trusts during fiscal 2022. Maturity profile of defined benefit obligation: (Dollars in millions) Within 1 year 34 1 - 2 year 34 2 - 3 year 35 3 - 4 year 37 4 - 5 year 39 5 - 10 years 185 The Group also operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with local laws. As on March 31, 2021, the defined benefit obligation is $111 million, fair value of plan assets is $94 million, resulting in recognition of a net liability of $17 million. 2.14.2 Superannuation The Group contributed $35 million, $34 million and $31 million to the superannuation plan during fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively and the same has been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of comprehensive income under the head employee benefit expense. Superannuation contributions have been apportioned between cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses on the basis of direct employee cost as follows: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Cost of sales 31 30 28 Selling and marketing expenses 3 3 2 Administrative expenses 1 1 1 35 34 31 2.14.3 Provident fund Infosys has an obligation to fund any shortfall on the yield of the trust’s investments over the administered interest rates on an annual basis. These administered rates are determined annually predominantly considering the social and economic factors in the past years. The actuary has provided a valuation for provident fund liabilities on the basis of guidance issued by Actuarial Society of India.

As at March 31, 2021, the defined benefit obligation would be affected by approximately $11 million and $16 million on account of a 0.25% increase / decrease, respectively in the expected rate of return on plan assets. The Group contributed $90 million, $90 million and $78 million to the provident fund during fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Provident fund contributions have been apportioned between cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses on the basis of direct employee cost as follows: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Cost of sales 80 80 69 Selling and marketing expenses 7 7 6 Administrative expenses 3 3 3 90 90 78 The provident plans are applicable only to employees drawing a salary in Indian rupees. 2.14.4 Employee benefit costs include: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Salaries and bonus (1) 7,322 7,020 6,338 Defined contribution plans 48 48 44 Defined benefit plans 123 100 86 7,493 7,168 6,468 (1) Includes stock compensation expense of $45 million, $34 million and $29 million for fiscal respectively.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Treasury Shares When any entity within the Group purchases the company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from share premium. 15,514,732 and 18,239,356 shares were held by controlled trust, as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Share capital and share premium The amount received in excess of the par value has been classified as share premium. Additionally, share-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is credited to share premium. Amounts have been utilized for bonus issue and share buyback from share premium account. The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of ₹5/-. Retained earnings Retained earnings represent the amount of accumulated earnings of the Group. Other Reserves The Special Economic Zone Re-investment reserve has been created out of the profit of the eligible SEZ unit in terms of the provisions of Sec 10AA (1)(ii) of Income Tax Act, 1961. The reserve should be utilized by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business in terms of the provisions of the Sec 10AA (2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Capital Redemption Reserve In accordance with section 69 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013, the Company creates capital redemption reserve equal to the nominal value of the shares bought back as an appropriation from general reserve. Other components of equity Other components of equity include currency translation, re-measurement of net defined benefit liability/asset, fair value changes of equity instruments fair valued through other comprehensive income, changes on fair valuation of investments, net of taxes. Cash flow hedge reserve When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. Capital Allocation Policy The Company's past policy was to payout up to 70% of the free cash flow of the corresponding Financial Year in such manner (including by way of dividend and / or share buyback) as may be decided by the Board from time to time, subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any. Effective fiscal 2020, the Company expects to return approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a 5-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends and/or share buyback and/or special dividends, subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, 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. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize shareholder value. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buyback issued shares. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has no debt. Consequent to the above capital structure there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Expense By Nature [Abstract] | |
Other income, net | 2.16 Other income, net Accounting policy Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investments and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Functional currency and presentation currency The functional currency of Infosys, Infosys BPM, EdgeVerve, Skava and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (rounded off to the nearest million) to facilitate the investors’ ability to evaluate Infosys’ performance and financial position in comparison to similar companies domiciled in other geographic locations. Transactions and translations Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and reported within exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. The related revenue and expense are recognized using the same exchange rate. Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. The translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed of, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. However, when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity. Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Government grants The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the statement of comprehensive income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. Other income consists of the following: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Interest income on financial assets carried at amortized cost 161 181 201 Interest income on financial assets fair valued through other comprehensive income 55 46 92 Dividend income on investments carried at fair value through profit or loss 1 — — Gain / (loss) on investments carried at fair value through profit or loss 10 26 24 Gain / (loss) on investments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income 11 6 — Interest income on income tax refund 1 37 7 Exchange gains / (losses) on forward and options contracts 75 (66 ) 27 Exchange gains / (losses) on translation of other assets and liabilities (47 ) 139 18 Others 30 26 42 297 395 411 |

Expected volatility during the expected term of the options is based on historical volatility of the observed market prices of the Company's publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Expected volatility of the comparative companies have been modelled based on historical movements in the market prices of their publicly traded equity shares during a period equivalent to the expected term of the options. Correlation coefficient is calculated between each peer entity and the indices as a whole or between each entity in the peer group.

Major Components Of Tax Expense Income [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 2.18 Income taxes Accounting policy Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements 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 or loss at the time of the transaction. 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 realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where 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. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to share premium. Income tax expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprises: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Current taxes Domestic taxes 716 628 600 Foreign taxes 185 186 217 901 814 817 Deferred taxes Domestic taxes 85 (43 ) 3 Foreign taxes (13 ) (14 ) (17 ) 72 (57 ) (14 ) Income tax expense 973 757 803 Income tax expense for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 includes reversals (net of provisions) of $47 million, $52 million and $25 million, respectively. These reversals pertain to prior periods primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters in favor of the Company and upon filing of tax return, across various jurisdictions and changes to tax regulations. A reconciliation of the income tax provision to the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to the income before income taxes is summarized below: (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Profit before income taxes 3,596 3,095 3,003 Enacted tax rates in India 34.94 % 34.94 % 34.94 % Computed expected tax expense 1,256 1,083 1,049 Tax effect due to non-taxable income for Indian tax purposes (346 ) (383 ) (386 ) Overseas taxes 99 103 102 Tax provision (reversals) (47 ) (52 ) (25 ) Effect of differential overseas tax rates (17 ) (11 ) — Effect of exempt non-operating income (5 ) (6 ) (8 ) Effect of unrecognized deferred tax assets 1 7 13 Effect of non-deductible expenses 20 17 50 Branch profit tax (net of credits) (4 ) (5 ) 4 Others 16 4 4 Income tax expense 973 757 803 The corporate statutory tax rate for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 is 34.94% each. The foreign tax expense is due to income taxes payable overseas, principally in the United States. In India, the company has benefited from certain income tax incentives that the Government of India had provided for export of IT services from the units registered under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 (SEZ). SEZ units which began the provision of IT services on or after April 1, 2005 are eligible for a deduction of 100% of profits or gains derived from the export of IT services for the first five years from the financial year in which the unit commenced the provision of services and 50% of such profits or gains for a further five years. Up to 50% of such profits or gains is also available for a further five years subject to creation of a Special Economic Zone Re-investment Reserve out of the profit of the eligible SEZ units and utilization of such reserve by the Company for acquiring new plant and machinery for the purpose of its business as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (Refer to Other Reserves under Note 2.15 Equity). As a result of these tax incentives, a portion of the Company’s pre-tax income has not been subject to tax in recent years. These tax incentives resulted in a decrease in our income tax expense of $346 million, $383 million and $386 million for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, compared to the tax amounts that we estimate we would have been required to pay if these incentives had not been available. The per share effect of these tax incentives computed based on both basic and diluted weighted average number of equity shares for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $0.08, $0.09 and $0.09, (adjusted for September 2018 bonus issue), respectively. Entire deferred income tax for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences. Infosys is subject to a 15% Branch Profit Tax (BPT) in the U.S. to the extent its U.S. branch's net profit during the year is greater than the increase in the net assets of the U.S. branch during the year, computed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. As of March 31, 2021, Infosys' U.S. branch net assets amounted to approximately $769 million. As at March 31, 2021, the Company has a deferred tax liability for branch profit of $20 million (net of credits), as the Company estimates that these branch profits are expected to be distributed in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax liabilities have not been recognized on temporary differences amounting to $1,323 million and $1,108 million as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, associated with investments in subsidiaries and branches as it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets have not been recognized on accumulated losses of $510 million and $422 million as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, as it is probable that future taxable profit will be not available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized in the foreseeable future.

resulted in deferred income tax assets and liability is as follows: (Dollars in millions) As of March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Deferred income tax assets after set off 150 231 Deferred income tax liabilities after set off (120 ) (128 ) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities have been offset wherever the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and where the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority. In assessing the reliability of deferred income tax assets, the management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. As at March 31, 2021, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to $ As at March 31, 2020, claims against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to $443 million (₹3,353 crore). The amount paid to statutory authorities against the tax claims amounted to $834 million (₹6,095 crore) and $707 million (₹5,352 crore) as at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The claims against the Group primarily represent demands arising on completion of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are on account of multiple issues of disallowances such as disallowance of profits earned from STP Units and SEZ Units, disallowance of deductions in respect of employment of new employees under section 80JJAA, disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes. These matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities. The management including the Company’s tax advisors expect that the Company’s position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and results of operations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Reconciliation of Basic and Diluted Shares Used in Computing Earnings Per Equity Share | 2.19 Reconciliation of basic and diluted shares used in computing earnings per equity share Accounting policy Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors. The following is a reconciliation of the equity shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share: Year ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 Basic earnings per equity share - weighted average number of equity shares outstanding (1)(2) 4,242,416,665 4,257,754,522 4,347,130,157 Effect of dilutive common equivalent shares - share options outstanding 8,315,802 7,389,706 6,290,615 Diluted earnings per equity share - weighted average number of equity shares and common equivalent shares outstanding 4,250,732,467 4,265,144,228 4,353,420,772 (1) excludes treasury shares (2) adjusted for bonus shares, wherever applicable Refer to Note 2.15 Nil, 13,093 and Nil number of options to purchase equity shares, had an anti-dilutive effect (adjusted for September 2018 bonus issue) for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |

Segment Reporting

Disclosure Of Operating Segments [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | 2.21 Segment reporting IFRS 8 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Group's operations predominantly relate to providing end-to-end business solutions to enable clients to enhance business performance. During fiscal 2019, the Group internally reorganized some of its business segments to deepen customer relationships, improve focus of sales investments and increase management oversight. Consequent to the internal reorganization, there were changes in the reportable business segments based on “Management approach” as defined under IFRS 8, Operating Segments. Therefore, enterprises in Insurance which was earlier considered under the Life Sciences, Healthcare and Insurance business segment are now considered under the Financial Services business segment and enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media which was earlier under Energy & Utilities, Communication and Services is shown as a separate business segment. Segmental operating income has changed in line with these as well as changes in the allocation method. The chief operating decision maker (CODM) evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments and are as set out in the accounting policies. Business segments of the Group are primarily enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance, enterprises in Manufacturing, enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and Logistics, enterprises in the Energy, Utilities, Resources and Services, enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media, enterprises in Hi-Tech, enterprises in Life Sciences and Healthcare and all other segments. The Financial Services reportable segments has been aggregated to include the Financial Services operating segment and Finacle operating segment because of the similarity of the economic characteristics. All other segments represent the operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services. Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment. Revenue for 'all other segments' represents revenue generated by Infosys Public Services and revenue generated from customers located in India, Japan and China and other enterprises in Public Services. Allocated expenses of segments include expenses incurred for rendering services from the Group's offshore software development centers and on-site expenses, which are categorized in relation to the associated efforts of the segment. Certain expenses such as depreciation and amortization, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments as the underlying assets are used interchangeably. The management believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as "unallocated" and adjusted against the total income of the Group. Assets and liabilities used in the Group's business are not identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. Management believes that it is currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous. Business segment revenue information is collated based on individual customers invoiced or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognized. Disclosure of revenue by geographic locations is given in note 2.11 Revenue from operations. 2.21.1 Business segments (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2021 Financial Services (1) Retail (2) Communication (3) Energy, Utilities, resources and Services Manufacturing Hi Tech Life Sciences (4) Others (5) Total Revenues 4,399 1,991 1,703 1,692 1,275 1,155 927 419 13,561 Identifiable operating expenses 2,378 937 991 877 674 648 475 259 7,239 Allocated expenses 813 363 335 335 255 176 161 118 2,556 Segment profit 1,208 691 377 480 346 331 291 42 3,766 Unallocable expenses* 441 Operating profit 3,325 Other income, net (Refer to Note 2.16) 297 Finance cost (Refer to Note 2.8) 26 Profit before Income taxes 3,596 Income tax expense 973 Net profit 2,623 Depreciation and amortization 441 Non-cash expenses other than depreciation and amortization — (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2020 Financial Services (1) Retail (2) Communication (3) Energy, Utilities, resources and Services Manufacturing Hi Tech Life Sciences (4) Others (5) Total Revenues 4,029 1,976 1,687 1,652 1,285 981 822 348 12,780 Identifiable operating expenses 2,109 984 998 860 703 581 452 209 6,896 Allocated expenses 893 399 348 340 293 175 168 130 2,746 Segment profit 1,027 593 341 452 289 225 202 9 3,138 Unallocable expenses* 414 Operating profit 2,724 Other income, net (Refer to Note 2.16) 395 Finance cost (Refer to Note 2.8) 24 Profit before Income taxes 3,095 Income tax expense 757 Net profit 2,338 Depreciation and amortization 407 Non-cash expenses other than depreciation and amortization 7 * Unallocable expenses for the year ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 includes amortization on ROU assets (Dollars in millions) Year ended March 31, 2019 Financial Services (1) Retail (2) Communication (3) Energy, Utilities, resources and Services Manufacturing Hi Tech Life Sciences (4) Others (5) Total Revenues 3,778 1,935 1,488 1,483 1,163 882 743 327 11,799 Identifiable operating expenses 2,021 974 816 808 644 506 394 202 6,365 Allocated expenses 775 385 312 312 255 154 147 109 2,449 Segment profit 982 576 360 363 264 222 202 16 2,985 Unallocable expenses 289 Operating profit 2,696 Other income, net (Refer to Note 2.16) 411 Reduction in the fair value of Disposal Group held for sale (Refer to Note 2.10) (39 ) Adjustment in respect of excess of carrying amount over recoverable amount on reclassification from "Held for Sale" (Refer to Note 2.10) (65 ) Profit before Income taxes 3,003 Income tax expense 803 Net profit 2,200 Depreciation and amortization 287 Non-cash expenses other than depreciation and amortization 107 (1) Financial Services include enterprises in Financial Services and Insurance (2) Retail includes enterprises in Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods and Logistics (3) Communication includes enterprises in Communication, Telecom OEM and Media (4) Life Sciences includes enterprises in Life sciences and Health care (5) Others include operating segments of businesses in India, Japan, China, Infosys Public Services & other enterprises in Public Services 2.21.2 Significant clients No client individually accounted for more than 10% of the revenues for fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019. |

Disclosure Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows | Accounting policy Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated. The Group considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. |
Basis of preparation of financial statements | 1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. |
Basis of consolidation | 1.3 Basis of consolidation Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its controlled trusts and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded. Refer to Note 2.20 for the list of subsidiaries and controlled trusts of the Company. |
Use of estimates and judgments | 1.4 Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 1.5. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates and judgments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19 (COVID-19): The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements including the recoverability of carrying amounts of financial and non-financial assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has, at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, used internal and external sources of information including credit reports and related information and economic forecasts and expects that the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. |
Critical accounting estimates and judgements | 1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgements a. Revenue recognition The Group’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved, in writing, by the parties to the contract, the parties to the contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Group assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables, and allocation of transaction price to these distinct performance obligations involves significant judgement. Fixed price maintenance revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period. Revenue from a fixed price maintenance contract is recognized ratably using a percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customer and Group’s costs to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of the contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. The use of method to recognize the maintenance revenues requires judgment and is based on the promises in the contract and nature of the deliverables. The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Group to determine the actual efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the estimated total efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costs expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the estimated efforts or costs to complete the contract. b. Income taxes The Group's two major tax jurisdictions are India and the United States, though the company also files tax returns in other overseas jurisdictions. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced (Refer to Note 2.18). c. Business combinations and intangible assets Business combinations are accounted for using IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations. IFRS 3 requires us to fair value identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management (Refer to Note 2.9 and 2.10). d. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology (Refer to Note 2.7). e. Impairment of Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (“CGU”) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of CGUs is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and comprises estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins (Refer to Note 2.9). f. Leases As a lessee, the Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Infosys’ operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Group has concluded that no material changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts (Refer to Note 2.8). g. Non-current assets and Disposal groups held for sale Assets and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The determination of fair value less costs to sell includes use of management estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the disposal groups has been estimated using valuation techniques including income and market approach which includes unobservable inputs. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the Non-current asset and disposal group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for Sale" criteria. Recoverable amounts of assets reclassified from held for sale have been estimated using management’s assumptions which consist of significant unobservable inputs. h. Allowance for Credit Loss on receivables and unbilled revenue The Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considered current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates. In calculating expected credit loss, the Group has also considered credit reports and other related credit information for its customers to estimate the probability of default in future and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | 1.6 Recent accounting pronouncements 1.6.1 Standards issued but not yet effective New and revised IFRS Standards in issue but not yet effective: Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment : Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous Contracts Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting, Estimates and Errors :Definition of Accounting Estimates Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements :Disclosure of Accounting Policies Amendments to IAS 16 On May 14, 2020, IASB has issued an amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use (“Amendments to IAS 16”) which amends the standard to prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss. The effective date for the adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Group has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 37 On May 14, 2020 IASB issued Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (“Amendments to IAS 37”) which specifies that the “cost of fulfilling” a contract comprises the “costs that relate directly to the contract”. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract). The effective date for adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2) The IASB has finalized its response to the ongoing reform of Inter-Bank Offered Rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks by issuing a package of amendments to IFRS Standards in August 2020. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The amendments in this final phase relate to practical expedient for particular changes in contractual cash flows, relief from specific hedge accounting requirements and certain disclosure requirement. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, although early adoption is permitted. The Group has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 8 On February 12, 2021, IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and Errors which introduced a definition of ‘accounting estimates’ and included amendments to IAS 8 to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Group has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 1 On February 12, 2021 International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements which requires the entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment. |
Accounting policy on financial instruments | Accounting policy 2.3.1 Initial recognition The Group recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date. 2.3.2 Subsequent measurement a. Non-derivative financial instruments (i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. (iv) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration and financial liability under option arrangements recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. b. Derivative financial instruments The Group holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. Bank counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank. (i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, at fair value through profit or loss This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges. Although the Group believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets/ liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date. (ii) Cash flow hedge The Group designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. |
Derecognition of financial instruments | 2.3.3 Derecognition of financial instruments The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Group's balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. |
Fair value of financial instruments | 2.3.4 Fair value of financial instruments In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. Refer to table ‘Financial instruments by category’ below for the disclosure on carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one year from the balance sheet date and which are not carried at fair value, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. |
Impairment | 2.3.5 Impairment The Group recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenue which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenue with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recorded is recognized as an impairment loss or gain in consolidated statement of comprehensive income. |
Provisions and other contingencies | 2.6 Provisions and other contingencies Accounting policy a. Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. b. Post sales client support The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post-sales support on all its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in cost of sales. The Group estimates such costs based on historical experience and estimates are reviewed on a periodic basis for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence. c. Onerous contracts Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. |
Property, plant and equipment | 2.7 Property, plant and equipment Accounting policy Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management. The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Buildings 22 - 25 years Plant and machinery (1) 5 years Computer equipment 3-5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Lower of useful life of the asset or lease term (1) Includes solar plant with a useful life of 20 years. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of assets not ready to use before such date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. |
Goodwill and intangible assets | 2.9 Goodwill and intangible assets 2.9.1 Goodwill Accounting policy Goodwill represents the purchase consideration in excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity. When the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the net profit in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying amount. For the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGU’s which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill is recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income and is not reversed in the subsequent period. 2.9.2 Intangible assets Accounting policy Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Software product development costs are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Impairment Intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. |
Business combinations and Disposal group held for sale | Accounting Policy: Business combinations are accounted using the acquisition method. The purchase price in an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The purchase price also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries. Business combinations between entities under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations and is accounted for at carrying value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The payments related to options issued by the Group over the non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries are accounted as financial liabilities and initially recognized at the estimated present value of gross obligations. Such options are subsequently measured at fair value in order to reflect the amount payable under the option at the date at which it becomes exercisable. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognised. Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination such as finders’ fees, legal fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and consulting fees are expensed as incurred. |
Disposal group held for sale | Accounting policy Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for Sale" criteria. |
Operating profit | Operating profit for the Group is computed considering the revenues, net of cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses. |
Employee benefits | 2.14 Employee benefits Accounting policy Gratuity and Pensions The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees, majorly of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum 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 Group. The Company contributes gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). In case of Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve, contributions are made to the Infosys BPM Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust and EdgeVerve Systems Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust, respectively. Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by India Law. The Group operates defined benefit pension plan in certain overseas jurisdictions, in accordance with the local laws. These plans are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for periodic payouts after retirement and/or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. Liabilities with regard to these defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an external actuary, at each Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method. These defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and market risk. The Group recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / asset are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of comprehensive income. Provident fund Eligible employees of Infosys receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company contributes a portion to the Infosys Limited Employees' Provident Fund Trust. The trust invests in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion is contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate. In respect of Indian subsidiaries, eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the respective companies make monthly contributions to this provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited in a government administered provident fund. The Companies have no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions. Superannuation Certain employees of Infosys and its Indian subsidiaries are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Group has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed to a trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life Insurance Corporation of India. Compensated absences The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each Balance Sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the Balance Sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur. |
Equity | Accounting policy Ordinary Shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares, share options and buyback are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Treasury Shares When any entity within the Group purchases the company's ordinary shares, the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental cost is presented as a deduction from total equity, until they are cancelled, sold or reissued. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/ from share premium. |
Dividends | 2.15.2 Dividends Accounting policy Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the company's Board of Directors. Income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity will be recognized according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events that generated distributable profits. |
Other income, net | 2.16 Other income, net Accounting policy Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investments and exchange gain/loss on forward and options contracts and on translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. |
Functional currency and presentation currency | Functional currency and presentation currency The functional currency of Infosys, Infosys BPM, EdgeVerve, Skava and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (rounded off to the nearest million) to facilitate the investors’ ability to evaluate Infosys’ performance and financial position in comparison to similar companies domiciled in other geographic locations. Transactions and translations Foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and reported within exchange gains/ (losses) on translation of assets and liabilities, net, except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. The related revenue and expense are recognized using the same exchange rate. Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. The translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries to the presentation currency is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue, expense and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in currency translation reserves under other components of equity. When a subsidiary is disposed of, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income. However, when a change in the parent's ownership does not result in loss of control of a subsidiary, such changes are recorded through equity. Other Comprehensive Income, net of taxes includes translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. |
Government grants | Government grants The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in the net profit in the statement of comprehensive income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the statement of comprehensive income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate. |
Employees' Stock Option Plans (ESOP) | 2.17 Employees' Stock Option Plans (ESOP) Accounting policy The Group recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit based on estimated fair- value of the awards on the grant date. The estimated fair value of awards is recognized as an expense in net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share premium. |
Income taxes | 2.18 Income taxes Accounting policy Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the net profit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements 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 or loss at the time of the transaction. 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 realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where 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. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to share premium. |
Earnings per equity share | Accounting policy Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors. |
