Rishi BasuVery good evening, everyone and thank you for joining Infosys' Second Quarter Financial Results. My name is Rishi and on behalf of Infosys, I would like to welcome all of you. This hall that we are in brings back fond memories for many at Infosys.
In October of 2001, Mr. Ratan Tata visited Infosys to inaugurate this very hall, which is named after the Tata Group Founder, Mr. Jamshedji Tata. Mr. Ratan Tata spent almost an entire day on our campus and planted a tree to commemorate this occasion. Over the years that tree has flourished, a happy reminder of the occasion and all the values that he stood for, and today it stands as a mark of his legacy at Infosys.
Let me share some of those memories with you. Could we have the video please?
[Video Presentation]
I now request all of you to join us for a minute’s silence in memory of Mr. Ratan Tata, a Titan of Indian industry and a leader who exemplified the spirit of India through his life and work. I request you to put your mobile phones on silent and I request you to rise. Thank you.
[Minute silence]
Thank you.
I would now like to invite our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Salil Parekh for his opening remarks. Over to you, Salil.
SalilParekh
Thanks, Rishi.
Mr. Ratan Tata has left an indelible mark on our country and really for each of us to be able to dream large and to stay grounded. He will be missed by all of us.
Let me now share with you an update on our results. We had a strong performance in Q2 with robust and broad-based growth, stable operating margins, strong cash generation, strong large deals and increased employee headcount. Our revenue grew 3.1% quarter-on-quarter and 3.3% year-on-year in constant currency terms.
Financial services grew at 2%, Manufacturing double digit, Energy, utilities and services at 5.8% - all quarter-on-quarter. We saw growth in all geographies, quarter-on-quarter. Our operating margin for Q2 was 21.1%. The Financial Services segment in the U.S. continues to see discretionary spend increase in capital markets, in mortgages, cards and payments. We have seen slowness in the automotive sector in Europe. Apart from these verticals, demand trends remain stable with clients continuing to prioritize cost take outs over discretionary initiatives.
We are deepening our work in generative AI. We are deploying enterprise generative AI platforms, building our own small language model and developing multi-agent solutions for our clients. With our strong performance in Q2 and our current outlook, we have revised our revenue growth guidance for financial year '25. The new guidance is 3.75% to 4.5% growth in constant currency for the full year. Operating margin guidance remains the same at 20% to 22%.
With that let us open up for questions.
RishiBasu
Thank you, Salil. We will now open the floor for questions. As always, we request one question from each media house to accommodate everyone over the next hour. Joining Salil is Mr. Jayesh Sanghrajka, Chief Financial Officer, Infosys.
We have the first question from Ritu Singh from CNBC TV18.
RituSingh
Hi. First, on the guidance revision, if you could break down for us, how significantly altered is the demand environment now versus what you saw a couple of quarters ago? How much of this revision upwards is organic versus the contribution that you are seeing because of the in-tech acquisition? One, if you could begin by telling us that?
Also, there have been seven revisions in the revenue guidance in the last eight quarters. Could you tell us what you have in terms of visibility now, in terms of the turnaround that you are speaking about?
Financial Services is something that you have highlighted, but some of the other areas of concern that you have been speaking about, Retail, Hi-Tech, etc., what are you seeing there? What are you hearing from clients on discretionary spends?
Your headcount has increased for the first time perhaps in seven quarters. You told us last time you are looking to hire about 15,000 to 20,000 freshers this year, are you on-track to do that? And if I may, sorry, add another question on guidance while we are talking about this. You have maintained the guidance for margins at 20% to 22%, but you have deferred the wage hikes to the third quarter. How much will be the impact from that?
And there was no real expansion, despite this Project Maximus that you have undertaken. Just give us a sense of why, despite what we saw with the rupee, why that did not happen and how much of a hit do you anticipate in the coming quarter because of the wage hikes? Thank you.
SalilParekh
So let me start off with some of the ones that you asked and then Jayesh will add a little bit on the margins and also on the revenue growth guidance. So, first on the revenue growth guidance, the way we look at this is based on what we have done in the quarter. Then we look at our pipeline and look at what we anticipate and based on those factors as we sit today looking out for this financial year, that is Q3 and Q4, we look to increase the revenue growth guidance.
The second question you asked on the industries. So, we see Financial Services, discretionary spend is looking stable, strong, especially as we highlighted in capital markets, cards and payments. We also shared that in automotive, we see slowness in Europe. In the other verticals, the view, the discussions with clients are similar. So, we do not see any change. There is no new discretionary and especially the verticals you mentioned Retail or Hi-Tech.
What we do see is more focus on the cost takeout elements there itself. In terms of the margin piece, let me first hand over to Jayesh and then there may be some other comments on the revenue itself.
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So just to add to the guidance piece that Salil was talking about and to your question on in-tech, if you recollect, last time when we announced the guidance, we had clarified that in-tech is now completely included in the last guidance. So, there is no additional impact or additional benefit this quarter on account of in-tech. It was already baked in in the last quarter's guidance.
Having said that, there are multiple factors that we look at when we give guidance. A strong H1 performance, the pipelines in terms of large deals and less than 50 mn deals that we have. Our less than 50 mn deals have also increased double digit this quarter. So that has also contributed to an increase in our guidance.
Coming to your margin question, if you look at our margin this quarter, our margin has remained steady at 21.1%, similar to last quarter. If you look at the puts and takes, we got 80 basis points of benefit from Project Maximus, 10 basis points from currency that was offset by 30 basis points on account of acquisition because of the amortization of intangibles, and the 60 basis points is on account of the salary and the variable increase that we provided as well as the other costs. So, Project Maximus has been contributing. It is offsetting the comp increase and the variable additions that we are doing.
We have guided for 20% to 22% for the full year. At this point in time, we are confident of our guidance with the wage hike that we are planning in Q4. The wage hike is going to be in a phased manner. Some part of that will be effective in January and the balance will be effective in April.

On fresher hiring?
JayeshSanghrajka
We are on track to onboard the 15,000 plus freshers that we talked about last time. We have on boarded many of them in the first half, but we are on-track to onboard 15,000 to 20,000 at a group level in FY'25.
RishiBasu
Thank you. The next question is from Haripriya Sureban from NDTV Profit.
HaripriyaSureban
Hi, guys. Salil, if you could give us a sense on the budgets opening up, right, the U.S. Fed decision and the elections also coming to a close now. More stability is expected at least in the U.S. markets. So how do you see that in your conversation with your clients? Do you see more budgets opening up? Does this mean that Q3 and Q4 will be significantly better?
Also, give us some sense on the growth you are seeing in the emerging markets, because we see that it is an up-and-coming opportunity for other players as well. So how is it panning out for you? And on the margins, just to double-tap on that, you have been on the lower end of your guidance consistently now. So, do you think with the markets getting better, demand coming back, that should also translate into better margins, and you probably reached the higher end?
And on the fresher hiring specifically, you have mentioned your goals there, but with the new AI roles coming up and so much of work with generative AI, do you think you will do more specialized hiring, and will the salaries be better there, even on the fresher level and the lateral hiring?
SalilParekh
Let me start off I think first on the budgets and then a little bit on the emerging markets, and then Jayesh will add on the margins, and we will come back on what is going on with generative AI. On the budgets, what we see today is, in Financial Services, we are starting to see the discretionary spend improving. We shared that last quarter, and we see that continuing as we saw this Q2 roll out.
In the other industries, in automotive, we still see the slowing in Europe, which we referenced before. And then for the other industries, whether you look at Retail or Hi-Tech or Telco, we still see the discretionary spend part of the budget is constrained, and there is still much more emphasis on the cost and efficiency discussions.
On the emerging markets, in that sense, our presence is much more in Western Europe, in U.S., Australia, though for us, some of the newer growth markets, we do see good traction in Japan, good traction in Middle East, but relative in terms of size, they are still quite small, but a good outlook in those markets.
Do you want to go on the margins and come on Gen AI?
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So, on the margins if you look at where we are for the H1, we have delivered 21.1% for H1, both the quarters as well as the same numbers. That pretty much is slightly above the midpoint of our guidance. Our guidance is 20% to 22%. If you look at contributions from Maximus, as I was saying earlier, I think we have got a lot of benefit. Every quarter we have been calling out the contribution from Project Maximus. If you look at the tracks that have delivered well, the value-based selling has been consistently delivering. The lean and automation has been delivering. Our utilization is pretty much at all-time high levels. Subcontractor has reduced.
So, there are multiple tracks which are running well. What the program has delivered at this point in time is, we have arrested the margin decline, and we have offset all the cost headwinds in terms of comp, in terms of additional variable pay, etc. So, despite that, we have been able to maintain our margin. Our aspiration continues to increase our margins in the midterm.
RishiBasu
SalilParekh
On the recruitment part with generative AI -- on generative AI we have a huge amount of focus in three specific areas. We are building enterprise-wide generative AI platforms. We are building a small language model that will be rolled out across industries, and we have launched already what are called multi-agent solutions. So, this is beyond being an assistant. It is really an agent which does a lot more of the solutioning within clients. So, we see a huge amount of opportunity, a very deep approach that we have built for generative AI and so that recruiting will continue with those skillsets.
So there, the distinction will be much more focused on as people mature and get deeper in their career. We have for example, within the company, a program called Power Programmers, which is focused on different sets of skills. So as those skills become deeper, we will look at those options.
RishiBasu
The next question is from Chandra Srikanth from Moneycontrol.
ChandraSrikanth
Salil, on the face of it, you know, your numbers are below what the street was expecting because they were very optimistic of a 3.9% to 4% quarterly growth. Margins, I think the expectation was around 21.3% and even the guidance was between 4% to 5% and I think the TCV number that brokerages were expecting were closer to the 3 bn mark. So, can you take us through, if there were one off factors or some deals did not sort of come through this quarter?
Secondly, why do you not just move to a quarterly revenue guidance, instead of revising the annual guidance every quarter because as Ritu said, this is the seventh guidance revision in the last eight quarters. Is that something that you will consider?
And thirdly, can you take us through the contribution from pass-through revenues, third-party software sales this quarter because I think that was a significant component last time around. Jayesh, despite deferring wage hikes to Q3, you mentioned that the acquisition costs kind of got baked into the margins. So, what other tailwinds will you have in Q3 to maintain it at 21.1 or 21.2? Have all the freshers been onboarded, those who have been hired in 2020 to 2023?
And finally, Salil, tell us about your small language model, how many parameters is this going to have? When will it go live and for which industry are you building this first? And are you building this on top of open-source platforms or are you leveraging your partnership with OpenAI? Thanks.
SalilParekh
So quite a few questions. Let me see if I can remember them one-by-one On the way we have seen our growth, our focus is really on what we are driving in the business. We see a lot of traction that we started to see in Financial Services, which has given us a good growth last quarter and this quarter. And we have called out last quarter and also now that outside of that, we do not see other industries yet starting to have a change in the discretionary spend. So that is the outlook of where we built out our growth guidance.
We are actually very positive and delighted that we have gone from 3% to 4% to 3.75% to 4.5%. So, it is a huge upward movement in the growth guidance.
Our view is, we want to share as we see each quarter what we see the outlook for the year. We are not looking at whether that is a change or not. That sometimes happens, sometimes does not happen. But this way we give a clear color for a full year as best as we know when we close the quarter and look at the parameters. So, those are really the factors that have gone into what we have done.
Let me talk a little bit about the small language model and then maybe Jayesh you can pick up. So, there it is an incredible approach that we have taken. We are building this on various open-source components. We have a narrow set of data which is from industry and also Infosys proprietary data set that will comprise the small language model.
We are working on different industry applications for the small language model, and we believe it will be a huge way for clients to leverage what they can do on top of that, building some business logic on top of this small language model. So, we think it is an incredible differentiated approach and we are seeing some good discussions on that basis with clients. So that we are not sharing yet. The work has started. The idea was to make sure we share the way we are going about working in generative AI. It is at a very deep level across those three areas.
JayeshSanghrajka
So, if you look at margins, as I said earlier, we have delivered 21.1% which is slightly above the midpoint of our guidance, which is 20% to 22%. As we get into the H2, we will have headwinds coming from compensation increase. Our last compensation increase was in November. So, we have decided the next one to start from January in a phased manner in two steps. So, part of that will be effective January and the balance will be effective April. We will have headwinds in terms of softness, which is regular -- which is seasonal in H2 for us. Furloughs, the lower working and calendar days, etc. So, those will be the headwinds. The tailwinds will continue from Project Maximus, which has been delivering well over the last few quarters. And at this point in time, we are confident of our margin guidance of 20% to 22% with an aspiration to increase in the midterm.
Yes, so as I said earlier, we are on track to onboard 15,000 to 20,000 freshers at group level in FY’25. We are not breaking it up between what was the past and this, but we are onboarding all the 15,000 to 20,000 freshers.
Yes. So, look -- first of all, it is the third-party cost, which is integral part of all the large deals or many of the large deals that we embark on, where we have taken over the turnkey projects for the clients and third-party costs are integral part of that project. And it comes as part of the mega and large deals that we sign. So, there is nothing specific there. It will come as and when we sign those kinds of deals, but it also increases our propensity with the clients and stickiness with the clients.
RishiBasu
Thank you, Chandra. The next question is from Beena Parmar from The Economic Times.
BeenaParmar
Firstly, the North American geography has seen further de-growth. Could you list out what are the core reasons and what kind of impact do you see because of the rate cuts that we have seen by global central banks?
Also, the status of onboarding, just to follow up, could you tell us as to, if all the onboarding has been done from the previous years, 2022 and 2023 and how many freshers have been added so far maybe in this fiscal year and what kind of fresher onboarding that you will look at going forward? While you have said it is 15,000 to 20,000, but what is remaining? And what is the impact of the wage hike, can you quantify it? How much is the wage hike as well, if you can just tell us that?
JayeshSanghrajka
So, on the wage hike, we do not quantify the impact, nor have we quantified how will it be, in the phased manner, starting from Q4. On fresher onboarding, we will onboard 15,000 to 20,000 freshers during the year.
BeenaParmar
How many have been hired so far in these two quarters?
JayeshSanghrajka
We have not given that break-up, but you can see the net numbers for us have been declining for the last few quarters. This is the first quarter where we had a net increase, so that is an anecdote you can write, but we will onboard all the freshers that we have committed in the past.
BeenaParmar
North America?
SalilParekh
North America, yes. So there, first quarter-on-quarter, we have seen growth in North America. There again, Financial Services were a big part of it. On a year-on-year basis, we saw negative growth. We see as you mentioned, the rate cut in the U.S. plus the lower inflation would indicate signs of some more spend. Certainly, in Financial Services, we have seen that, and we will wait to see in the other industries when that starts to happen.
BeenaParmar
Just to follow up on the mega-deal’s lineup as well, what is the pipeline and where is the current growth coming from in terms of the deal closures?
SalilParekh
So, the pipeline is still quite robust on large deals. The type of large deals is still much more on cost and efficiency and not so much on digital transformation. So that is sort of the lay of the land in terms of the deal outlook and we are seeing a lot of discussion in cost and efficiency still across all industries.
RishiBasu
Thank you. The next question is from Jas Bardia from the Mint.
Good evening. So, your peers have given mixed signals on the future outlook. Now, I want to ask whether the current prevailing macroeconomic conditions can dampen any sort of a prospect of a demand recovery; especially that has been aided by the U.S. Fed rate cut.
Second, I want to understand, is cloud a part of discretionary spending? And I ask this because over the last 15 to 18 months, Infosys and a lot of its peers have said that cost takeout deals are the priority. Now, do clients consider cloud as an expensive prospect and hence they are considering it in the discretionary bucket?
Last part sir, are you seeing any kind of a slowdown in the cloud spend over the last six to nine months? And just if I could squeeze in one more question, what percentage of your total revenue could be described as cloud revenue? That’s about it.
SalilParekh
So, I think the start off was much more on the macro, the first question. I will go through one-by-one. On the macro, typically we have seen, at least in the past cycles, when interest rate cuts start to begin and inflation is more in control, typically in our end markets, Western Europe and U.S. and also Australia, the interest in spending on large technology programs typically increases. But today, as we have shared, we have seen this change last quarter and this quarter in the Financial Services on discretionary.
And last quarter, we had an extraordinary growth in Financial Services, this quarter, very strong growth in Financial Services. Now, we do not know when the others -- when they will come, but that is typically the way the macro affects the tech industry.
On cloud, we have a very strong cloud business. You, of course know that we have the Cobalt set of capabilities where we work with each of the large public cloud players and we build out various tools, templates, industry blueprints, which can work with the cloud provider, with the client to roll out whatever approach our clients are taking. Then we have a private cloud business, which is also part of Cobalt. And then of course, we do a lot of work with the SaaS providers, where that is part of our cloud activity.
We do not break out the cloud number, but it is in good shape within the company.
RishiBasu
Thank you.
SalilParekh
Cloud, so it depends. Sometimes it could be cost takeout, depending on how the cloud TCO looks from a client perspective and what is the usage. For example, when you are doing some work which is more related to the edge, not just the core, then there are different cost considerations.
If you are doing more standard, let us say migrating a set of applications from on-premises to cloud, depending on your time horizon, you could get some benefit, but sometimes you do not because a lot of times other services are also mixed in. For example, you could also do cyber security with that, and which is separate in some instances. So, it is not like, all cloud is cost, or all cloud is not cost, it depends on which way it is done.
RishiBasu
Thanks, Jas. The next question is from Veena Mani from the Times of India.
VeenaMani
Good evening, gentlemen. So Q3 is usually the quarter of furloughs around December that is when clients -- what does it look this time? Do you think it is going to be as usual or based on your interactions with clients, would it be a lot more because discretionary spend is still on the lower side?
Also, I am trying to understand Q4, you mentioned that wage hikes will be rolled out. Now, if you could give us the quantum. For instance, HCL mentioned that 7% to 8% would be the average wage hike and for top performance it will be around 14%. Can Infosys give us some sort of a guidance on what the wage hike pattern would be and what the factors considered would be in terms of tenure or other things, what all things would be considered?
And if you could tell us a little bit about the generative AI revenues specifically and the use cases that went live in the second quarter? Some examples of, how the work around generative AI has been done for your clients? You mentioned that the revenue growth has been broad-based, but are there any micro factors, maybe one or two factors that really contributed to where the revenue is heading?
SalilParekh
Let me start off. I think most maybe I can address. I think the first point was on the Q3 furlough situation. So first, we do not comment on the specific furlough outlook we have, whatever we have it is in our guidance 3.75% to 4.5%. Having said that, it is the start of the quarter so it is difficult to anticipate what it will look like, but we do have typically in previous years a range of outcomes that we look at. We have considered that same sort of approach in building the guidance, and it is within that guidance.
Then on the generative AI example, there are a host of examples, maybe to share something. We have built for one client, a multi-agent solution where agents work on a specific business process that they have and do the process almost completely on its own, parts of the process. So, it changes the way that they can do the process. It changes the way they can scale up what they can do as opposed to doing part of the process.
We have another example with a Telco where we have rolled out one of the items I mentioned, the enterprise generative AI platform, that platform can now -- 70,000 of the employees are leveraging that platform to build out their own use cases or benefits for what they want to use generative AI for, whether it is in knowledge area, customer service area or the coding area. So, we are doing a host of projects, not POCs, actual projects, projects that are getting completed where clients are seeing some benefits from that.
RishiBasu
Question on wage hike?
SalilParekh
On the salary increase, we do not comment on the specifics.
RishiBasu
Revenue growth factors? That was the last, I think.
SalilParekh
Specific factors for the growth, I think more of what we discussed before, it is really more focused with what the traction we saw on Financial Services and then each of the others, we have seen quarter-on-quarter growth, except for Retail if you look at our Q2 performance.
RishiBasu
Thank you, Veena. The next question is from Padmini Dhruvaraj from the Financial Express.
PadminiDhruvaraj
Hi. So, your large deal TCV has shrunk to $2.4bn from $4.1bn last quarter, so is this lumpiness because of the factors you mentioned that other sectors barring BFSI, it is still yet to rebound. And so, this demand for BFSI is it because your clients want to adopt to AI? And what percentage of your top line came from in-tech's revenue contribution?
And your peers, especially in the mid-market space, have said there is a burst in 1 to 10 mn deals. So, while your client addition in that space has declined, so are you losing market share there? So, are you collaborating with any GCCs here for digital modernization? How many have you partnered with?
Salil Parekh
Okay, so quite a few questions. The first one - the large deals growth, right? So there typically our large deals are much more lumpy, if you look at over several quarters, some quarters a few more, some quarters a few less. Our focus really is making sure that if you look at all of H1, those are converted and are already into delivery mode and we are seeing that coming through with the large deals, a lot more focus on cost and efficiency.
On the smaller deals or smaller size programs. In fact, as Jayesh shared earlier, we have seen what deals below 50 mn value which is outside of our large deals, which are not in the large deals, we have seen a huge increase, double digit increase in that pipeline. So, we see a lot more traction of that sort of work that we already see. And the point you made on Financial Services, we do see the discretionary spend there, but in the other industries, not yet.
PadminiDhruvaraj
And your collaboration with GCCs here?
SalilParekh
On the GCCs, so we are working very closely with GCCs all around. We are working with clients when they are setting up their GCCs. We are working with them when they do a build, operate, transfer and we participate in it with the build, operate and when they transfer. We are working with them, with GCCs in India, to help scale them, to help with recruiting. And we also working in some instances with clients when they are exiting from GCCs, when we have programs where we take them, and they become part of us. So, a very strong connect with GCCs across India.
JayeshSanghrajka
So, in-tech contributed 80 bps to this quarter's revenue.
RishiBasu
Thank you. The next question is from Uma Kannan from The New Indian Express.
Uma Kannan
Good evening. In general, I just want to ask you like, how your acquired companies have performed in Q2? And today you have announced an acquisition of Blitz, right? So how this will help you in your overall revenue growth?
JayeshSanghrajka
So, we do not specifically give out the performance of each of the acquired entities. But overall, our acquisitions have contributed well, both organically as well as in terms of synergy over the years.
Uma Kannan
So Salil, you did speak about BFSI, but I just want to understand why there is de-growth in Retail. Is there any specific reason in terms of revenue? Retail contribution is, yes.
SalilParekh
No, I think we have talked about Retail in the last few quarters that industry is going through some change. So, nothing has changed except to say that it has not actually come back with the discretionary spend. So, it is not like we are pointing out something has changed in the behavior there, as opposed to FS where there is better discretionary or automotive in Europe where it is a little bit softer.
Uma Kannan
I just want to ask you one question on Gen AI. You did speak about Gen AI, but I just want to understand how the pipeline looks like? And are you seeing any particular sector growth? Say for example, whether it is BFSI, Retail, which particular sector you are seeing growth, in terms of deals?
SalilParekh
So generative AI, first, it is not in any specific industry or sector, it is across every industry. And part of generative AI work is, it is already becoming embedded in everything we do. So, any large program or transformation or cost efficiency productivity, a part of it is generative AI. Then we have different ways of looking at it because say you look at a tech and ops deal in customer service, there will be a large part of generative AI or if you look at something where we are building out new capabilities, there will be some productivity benefits through generative AI, but it is not the full deal. It is parts of almost every deal that we are doing.
Rishi Basu
Thank you. The next question is from Sanjana from The Hindu BusinessLine.
SanjanaB
Good evening, gentlemen. Salil, last quarter, you had mentioned that while these Gen AI projects are not POCs, they are not large revenue projects either. So, when do you think this change will come? And also, from what I can see, much of your revenues are divided between North America and Europe. There has been a flat growth like between your revenue shares, between the rest of the world, and India.
So, with emerging markets like LATAM and Africa, is that something that you are looking at and is nearshoring a strategy that you are employing? And beyond the margin guidance in the medium term, what is your aspirational margin? That is all. Thank you.
SalilParekh
So, on the generative AI, we do not break out the revenue as we had shared before. What we do see is, the work we are doing is quite deep now. We are building enterprise generative AI platforms; we are building a small language model. We are working on multi-agent frameworks. So, these are things which are quite deep within the generative AI landscape and where clients are really appreciating the sort of, let us say, thought leadership, industry leadership that we have on generative AI.
In terms of the geographies, we have of course, a strong focus within North America, within Europe, within Australia. We do not have a business outside of our Finacle business in Africa, so it is a small part of our business. In Latin America, similarly a small part of our business. On nearshoring, we see a lot of traction that we are seeing across different nearshore markets.
In Europe, there are certain markets. For North America, there are certain markets. And even in Asia, we have some markets in which we are building nearshore capability. So that is certainly moving along well.
On the margin aspiration, we absolutely have an internal aspiration to drive margin higher and higher with all of the approach we are taking, but we have not shared that externally.
RishiBasu
Thank you. The next question is from Sonal Choudhary from the Deccan Herald.
SonalChoudhary
Good evening, gentlemen. While you have pretty much highlighted everything, there is a few questions that I would like to ask. Firstly, on the hiring as everyone has already asked, the 2022 letters that went out and the hiring which you promised that will be done from October, I just want to know if these two years, 2022, 2023, the letters which went out in those years and the hiring that happened now, so was there a lapse or anything on that front?
SalilParekh
Was there a what, sorry?
SonalChoudhary
| Lapse? |
|---|
SalilParekh
No, I think first, we are going to hire everyone that has got a letter and an offer from Infosys. We have a phased approach to this hiring and that is in process right now.
SonalChoudhary
Okay. Also, your operating margins, they are flat. They were expected to be at around 21.3%. So, is there anything, any color that you would like to add to that? Is that something that you were also expecting?
JayeshSanghrajka
So, as I said earlier, our margin guidance is 20% to 22% and we are slightly above the midpoint of the margin guidance, right? If you look at the puts and takes, we had 80 basis points coming from Project Maximus, 10 basis points coming from currency and 30 basis points of tailwinds from the acquisition that we did, mainly on account of amortization and the balance 60 basis points was invested in terms of salary hikes, in terms of additional variable pay and other costs.
So, net-net, it offset each other, and we have reported 21.1% at margin. We do not really call out what we were expecting and where we are, I think we have delivered on what we were planning for.
SonalChoudhary
And you are expecting this to go ahead? I mean increase going ahead, right?
JayeshSanghrajka
In the medium term? Yes.
SonalChoudhary
Okay. Also, GCCs you have spoken about it already. The popular mandate did put out that, you know, it is like a competition while you have clearly highlighted that it is not, you collaborating rather. So how many GCCs have you collaborated with till now?
SalilParekh
So first, GCCs are doing a fantastic job. We are quite fortunate that we are working with many of the client organizations and their GCCs in India. There is a large number of GCCs here. We do not share specifically which GCCs we have collaborated with, but to give you a sense, in Financial Services, in Telco, in Life sciences, we are working with a large number of those GCCs in India and helping them and supporting them. But we do not give specific, the number of GCCs we are working with here. It is part of our overall client relationship.
We have teams that work very closely because there are different needs sometimes for what the GCCs are looking for and sometimes it is a holistic need across the client between the GCC in India and between the global organizations.
RishiBasu
Thank you. With that we come to the end of this press conference. We thank our friends from media for being here today. Thank you, Salil and thank you, Jayesh.
Before we conclude, please note that the archive webcast of this press conference will be available on the Infosys website and on our YouTube channel later today. We request all of you to join us for Hi-Tea outside. Thank you once again and have a lovely evening.

SandeepMahindroo
Hello, everyone, and thanks for joining Infosys earnings call for Q2 FY'25. Joining us on this call is CEO and MD, Mr. Salil Parekh; CFO, Mr. Jayesh Sanghrajka; and other members of the leadership team. We will start the call with some remarks on the performance of the company, subsequent to which the call will be opened up for questions.
Please note that anything we say which refers to our outlook for the future is a forward-looking statement that must be read in conjunction with the risk that the company faces. A full statement and explanation of these risks is available in our filings with the SEC, which can be found on www.sec.gov.
I would now like to turn the call to Salil.
SalilParekh
Thanks, Sandeep. Good evening and good morning to everyone on the call. We had a strong performance in Q2 with robust and broad-based growth, stable operating margins, strong cash generation, strong large deals and increased employee headcount. Our revenue grew 3.1% quarter-on-quarter and 3.3% year-on-year in constant currency terms. Financial Services grew at 2%; Manufacturing double-digit; Energy, Utilities and Services at 5.8%, all quarter-on-quarter.
We saw growth in all geographies quarter-on-quarter basis. Our large deals were $2.4 bn. Our overall pipeline remains strong. We saw a double-digit quarter-on-quarter increase in our pipeline of deals below $50 mn.
Our operating margin for Q2 was at 21.1%. Free cash flow for the quarter was $839 mn. Employee attrition is stable at 12.9%. We will launch our employee compensation increase in two phases, effective Jan 1, 2025 and April 1, 2025.
The Financial Services segment in the U.S. continues to see discretionary spend increase in capital markets, mortgages, cards and payments. We have seen slowness in the automotive sector in Europe. Apart from these verticals, demand trends remain stable with clients continue to prioritize cost takeout over discretionary initiatives.
Our Q2 performance reflects our sustained strength and differentiation in the industry. We are deepening our work in Generative AI. We are working with clients to deploy enterprise Generative AI platforms which become the launch pad for client usage of different use cases in Generative AI.
We are building a small language model leveraging industry and Infosys datasets. This will be used to build Generative AI applications across different industries. We have launched multi-agent capabilities to support clients in deploying agent solutions using Generative AI.
Our Generative AI approach is helping clients drive growth and productivity impact across the organization. We are partnering with clients to build a strong data foundation which is critical for any of these Generative AI programs.
One example, we are working with a logistic major, using Topaz to power their operational efficiency improvement. Concurrently, we are supporting their digital transformation journey to help them deliver exceptional services for their customers.
With a strong performance in Q2 and our current outlook, we have revised our revenue growth guidance for the financial year. The new guidance is 3.75% to 4.5% growth in constant currency. Our operating margin guidance for the financial year remains the same at 20% to 22%.
With that, let me hand it over to Jayesh.
JayeshSanghrajka
Thank you, Salil. Good morning, good evening everyone and thank you for joining the call.
We had a strong Q2 with broad-based growth and resilient margins amidst an uncertain macro environment. Let me talk about some of the key highlights.
| 1. | Revenues grew sequentially at 3.1% in constant currency terms,<br>ahead of our expectations. |
|---|---|
| 2. | All geos and verticals, barring Retail, grew sequentially.<br>Europe had a strong growth and is now approximately 30% of our revenue. |
| --- | --- |
| 3. | Inorganic contribution was 0.8% QoQ, which contributed to growth<br>in Europe Manufacturing |
| --- | --- |
| 4. | We had another quarter of volume growth. |
| --- | --- |
| 5. | Financial Services in U.S. continues to see discretionary spend<br>uptick in capital markets, mortgages and cards and payments. Both EURS and Manufacturing verticals reported double-digit year-on-year<br>growth. |
| --- | --- |
| 6. | Overall deal pipeline remains strong. Pipeline for deals less<br>than $50 mn increased double digits sequentially. |
| --- | --- |
| 7. | Operating margin during the quarter was stable at 21.1% driven<br>by better operating metrics, despite higher variable pay and acquisition impact. |
| --- | --- |
| 8. | Utilization continued to improve to 85.9%, up 60 basis points<br>sequentially. |
| --- | --- |
| 9. | We saw headcount additions after 6 quarters and added ~2,500<br>employees sequentially. |
| --- | --- |
| 10. | We had second consecutive quarter of over 100% of free cash<br>flows conversion to net profit. Free cash flow for H1 stood at $1.9 bn, 41% higher over H1 last year. |
| --- | --- |
Let me delve upon the details now.
Revenue for Q2 was $4.9 bn, up 3.1% sequentially and 3.3% on a year-on-year basis in constant currency terms. This included benefit from acquisition of 0.8%.
Operating margin was stable at 21.1%. The major components of sequential margin walk are-
Tailwinds of
| - | 80 basis points benefit from Project Maximus |
|---|---|
| - | 10 basis points from the currency movement |
| --- | --- |
Offset by
| - | 30 basis point impact from acquisitions mainly on account of<br>amortization of intangible assets |
|---|---|
| - | 60 basis points from higher variable pay and other costs |
| --- | --- |
Project Maximus remains a key focus area and successes of that is visible in improved operating metrics like utilization, realization, subcontracting costs, etc., for the quarter.
H1 revenue growth was 2.9% in constant currency terms. Operating margins were at 21.1%, 10 basis points up year-on-year basis.
Headcount at the end of the year stood at ~3,17,000, returning to a positive sequential growth after six quarters of decline with net additions of approximately 2,500 employees. Utilization, excluding training increased by 60 basis points to 85.9%. LTM attrition for Q2 was up by 20 basis points at 12.9%. We are on-track to onboard 15,000 to 20,000 freshers in FY '25.
Free cash flow conversion was approximately 108% for Q2. H1 '25 free cash flow is 41% higher than H1 '24. DSO for the quarter was 73 days versus 72 sequentially. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents stood at $4.6 bn after paying out $1.4 bn towards dividend.
The Board announced an interim dividend of INR21 per share, an increase of 16.7% as compared to last year.
Yield on cash balance was flat at 7% in Q2.
ETR was at 29.6% for Q2 and 29.5% for H1. We continue to expect ETR for FY '25 to be in the range of 29% to 30%. EPS grew by 4.7% in INR and 3.4% in dollar terms on YoY basis.
We closed 21 large deals with TCV of $2.4 bn, 41% of this was net new. Vertical-wise, we signed 7 deals in Financial Services; 3 each in Communication, Manufacturing and others; 2 in Retail and 1 each in EURS, Hi-Tech and Life Sciences. Region-wise, we signed 12 large deals in America, 5 in Europe, 3 in India and 1 in RoW.
H1 large deal wins stood at 55 deals with TCV of $6.5 bn and 51% of that is net new.
Coming to verticals,
Financial Services saw continued growth momentum in Q2 with traction in cost optimization through large outsourcing and transformation opportunities. We saw discretionary spend uptick in capital markets, mortgages and cards and payments. Deal wins during the quarter were strong, which coupled with expanding pipeline of small deals gives us visibility for future growth. We are doing a variety of Gen AI projects and are seeing them getting embedded in large programs.
Retail sector continues to be impacted by economic and political uncertainties. Cost takeout efficiency and consolidation are key priorities for clients. Consumers spend in the upcoming holiday season will be a lead indicator for future spend decisions. We are progressing well on our journey to leverage AI to deliver business value with safeguards around privacy, ethics, controls, etc., across areas such as enhanced customer and employee experiences, digital marketing etc.
Communication sector outlook is challenging with clients primarily focused on cost reduction and making that investment profitable. Discretionary spend for OEMs are expected to remain under pressure. Cost optimization, vendor consolidation are in the top priorities with clients open to innovate solutions and asking for AI to amplify productivity. Growth in FY'25 will be driven by large deal-wins.
In EURS, geopolitical conflicts and higher interest rate continues to influence spending patterns, causing clients to focus on cost optimization initiatives. We saw strong growth in verticals, especially in energy sector. In energy services, especially there is significant traction in cloud programs with many companies adopting the cloud and AI strategy. Our competencies in energy transition space, human experience and industry clouds and proactive client pitches have helped us build strong pipelines.
Growth in Manufacturing was strong, partially contributed by in-tech acquisition. Europe automotive sector has seen recent challenges while discretionary spend remains under pressure. We have seen increased benefits of vendor consolidation. We see opportunities around supply chain optimization, cloud ERP, smart factory and connected devices across various sub-verticals. We are in discussion with multiple clients for setting up AI CoEs to drive AI adoption at scale.
Most Hi-Tech clients remain cautious due to geopolitical tensions. Discretionary spend and new project starts are slow due to cash conversion focus. We are advancing multiple AI programs from POC to implementation, focusing on customer support and sales effectiveness.
Driven by our H1 performance and outlook for the rest of the year, we are revising our FY25 revenue guidance to 3.75% to 4.5% in constant currency terms. Our operating margin guidance remains at 20% to 22%.
With that, we will open the call for questions.
Moderator
Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question-and-answer session. The first question is from the line of Gaurav Rateria from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
GauravRateria
Hi. Thanks for taking my question. First question is the reasons for change in guidance for revenue growth. Is it largely because 2Q came in better than your expectations, or is it because the outlook for 2H has improved versus your prior expectations because of better pipeline of the smaller deal?
JayeshSanghrajka
Hi, Gaurav. I think there are multiple factors that led to increase of our guidance. Of course, the H1 performance or the Q2 performance, as you said, and more importantly, the broad-based Q2 performance was one factor.
We saw continued momentum in volumes as well as the momentum in financial services. Our increase in the smaller deals pipeline which is less than $50 mn deals, as we said earlier, which has had a strong double-digit growth, I think all of these factors contributed to increase in the guidance.
GauravRateria
Got it. Second question on Gen AI adoption. Have you seen Gen AI actually triggering a large transformation project and leading to multi-million dollar deal or multi-year deals? Just trying to understand that is this going to lead to a wave of a larger IT spend and increase the overall addressable market for us?
SalilParekh
Hi Gaurav. On Generative AI, what we are seeing is, first, we built the capability set, three examples that I shared of how we are doing it with platforms, with agents and a small language model. It is also very much focused on productivity and growth as clients are looking at it.
So any of our large deals, now large deals today are not that much focused on transformation, more focused on cost and efficiency, so more of the Gen AI focus is productivity. Any of the large deals that we are looking at, there is a Generative AI component to it. Now is it driving the large deal, not in itself, but it is very much a part of that large deal.
GauravRateria
All right. And last question for Jayesh. What would be the tailwinds from margin point of view in the second half, which could help us to offset the impact of the wage hike? Thank you.
JayeshSanghrajka
So, Gaurav, just to put together all the headwinds and tailwinds, the headwinds will come from compensation increase in Q4 that we talked about. The Q3 and Q4 will have regular seasonality in terms of furloughs, in terms of lower working day in calendar, etc. And tailwinds would be all the things that we are doing in the Project Maximus, whether pricing, whether you are talking about role ratios, subcon optimization, etc., all of those would be part of the same bucket of Project Maximus.
Moderator
Gaurav, do you have any follow-up question?
GauravRateria
No. Thank you.
Moderator
Thank you very much. Next question is from the line of Bryan Bergin from TD Cowen. Please go ahead.
BryanBergin
Hi. Thank you. I wanted to ask, just as you think about how you built the forecast forward and the discretionary view, aside from the improvement you have cited in U.S. BFSI, have you basically held everything else muted in your discretionary view as you go through the December and the March quarters?
JayeshSanghrajka
Hi Bryan. As I said earlier, I think there are various factors that has led to margin expansion. Our guidance change starting from the Q2 performance, the increase in volumes that we saw across multiple sectors, including Financial Services. Our pipeline, which is strong large deal pipeline as well as the smaller deals, which are less than $50 mn deals, which have grown double digit.
So, I think all of these have been baked in. Of course, there will be seasonality in H2 as we all know about in terms of furloughs, in terms of lower working days, etc. So all of that at this point in time is baked in, in our guidance.
BryanBergin
Okay. Thank you. And then just a follow-up, just to make sure I understand the furloughs. how do you think about composing the furlough activity that you are embedding in the year-end? Any difference than what you saw from last year or historical levels?
JayeshSanghrajka
No. So we, at this point in time, have baked in the regular furloughs that we have seen over the past few years.
BryanBergin
Thank you.

Thank you very much. Next question is from the line of Jonathan Lee from Guggenheim Securities. Please go ahead.
JonathanLee
Great. Thanks for taking my questions. Can you share further detail around what you are hearing in pricing conversations, both around new deals and any potential rescoping of deal terms, particularly given continued focus on cost optimization for clients?
JayeshSanghrajka
Hi Jonathan. The pricing overall, the environment has remained stable. However, within the pricing environment, we have been able to make a lot of progress in terms of getting benefits on the track that we are running under Project Maximus, which is value-based selling.
So many of those tracks have started kicking in benefits, which is visible in our numbers. If you look at our volume growth using a proxy of the headcount, you will see there will be a delta between the revenue and the volume growth which is contributed by the pricing significantly.
JonathanLee
Thanks for that color. And how should we think about large deal TCV momentum going forward? Are we seeing any changes to client preferences around signing of large deals perhaps maybe towards smaller deals, given some of what you called out around smaller deal strength?
SalilParekh
Hi. The large deals, the way we are seeing it is the pipeline remains quite good for us today. There is a much more focus on the cost efficiency, automation and consolidation type of work. These are lumpy. So in some quarters, we see a little bit more, some a little bit less, but we do not see a change in that outlook for large deals. The point on the smaller deals that Jayesh shared was a little bit additive. We are seeing more activity there as well, which is different from what we have seen before.
JonathanLee
Thanks for that detail.
Moderator
Thank you. Next question is from the line of Vibhor Singhal from Nuvama Equities. Please go ahead.
VibhorSinghal
Yes, hi. Thanks for taking my question. So Salil, I just wanted to pick your brains mainly on how the BFSI vertical is looking at this point of time. Post, the interest rate cut, has there been a change in conversation or let us say change in the approach of the clients towards discretionary spend that they might be picking up in upcoming quarters. How do you see that vertical play out? And then I have a follow-up.
SalilParekh
Thanks. So on Financial Services, we saw last quarter a good improvement in discretionary spend. And we continue to see that in Q2, the discretionary spend is good. We also saw the results of some of the large U.S. banks look quite strong.
We see, still the focus is much more on the discretionary and then some cost efficiency program. We are still not seeing large transformation type of program. But given our scale and the needs that the banks have and some of our clients where we are seeing good traction, the overall feeling when we look at Financial Services, whether it is capital markets or mortgages, cards and payments, we see good traction on the discretionary side.

Got it. Okay. My second question was on the TCV side. TCV of this quarter appears a bit on the softer side. Would you attribute that to anything specific? Is the client conversations at this point of time on the side pushing the deals out because of the pending U.S. elections? How would you read that? And how do you see the deal flow in the coming 2 quarters of the rest of the year?
SalilParekh
So there, we have not seen a change in the behaviour from the Q1 to the Q2 in terms of the deal timelines and so on, on large deals. These are, at least in our experience from the past over multiple quarters, they are sometimes lumpy. We see some more some quarters, some less because they are large deals. That is where we are looking. So we do not see any change in the data about it, including in the pipeline, which looks good as well.
VibhorSinghal
But we would have liked a better deal flow, I am assuming, for the quarter. Do you see maybe Q3 or Q4 deal flow momentum picking up? Or it will again depend on how the macros play out?
SalilParekh
It will be both. So the deal flow is decent. But sometimes because the size of these deals is quite large, sometimes they bunch up in a quarter. Sometimes they spread out a bit. So, we look at it a little bit more like over the half over the full year when we look backwards and that way we get them, because most of them are driving revenue for the next several years. So, it is not really like they convert into a quarterly movement. So, we look at it more in that sort of time horizon.
VibhorSinghal
Got it. Okay. Just one question if I could squeeze in for Jayesh. Jayesh, what is the thinking behind pushing out the wage hikes to Q3? And I mean, in fact, Q4 and Q1 of next financial year. I mean if I understand correctly, to some part of the organization, we would actually be skipping FY '25 completely in terms of wage hike. So, is this got to do with the overall demand environment or the kind of hike that we had given last year, a breakup? Just wanted to pick your brains on that?
JayeshSanghrajka
So, when we look at the compensation hike, we look at various factors, including what is the demand environment, what is the market practice, when did we do the last compensation, etc. We have taken all of that into account. Our last compensation increase was in November last year. So, this is pretty much almost on an anniversary, if you look at it. So that is point number one.
Point number two, if you look at within this quarter, we have increased our variable pay as well. So that is another factor to consider as well, yes.
VibhorSinghal
Got it. Thank you so much for answering my question and wish you all the best.
JayeshSanghrajka
Thank you.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Kumar Rakesh from BNP Paribas. Please go ahead.
KumarRakesh
Hi, good evening, and thank you for taking my question. My first question was to understand how is the traction on your Gen AI work? So, you have the Topaz platform, which you have launched. You earlier had for cloud, a similar platform, Cobalt, to build an accelerator to help customers set up the new technology. So relative to how it was at that time when Cobalt initially was launched and how it was first year of traction in terms of how many customer engagements are happening, how many customers signed up for that? Relative to that, how do you see Topaz panning out?
SalilParekh
Hi, So first, on Cobalt, the way it was launched and rolled out, we had very strong partnerships with the three big public cloud players and have today but when it was launched as well. We had a very strong private cloud offering which we also have expanded. And we had a set of offerings on SaaS providers, a range of them. So that was an ecosystem which for enterprises was already in motion. And we were already playing on that, and Cobalt brought all of it together.
In Generative AI for, the enterprise, it is a start, in terms of how it will be adopted. There are, of course, as you know, several use cases, some of them with some good traction with clients. But the method of adoption, so what we have done here in Topaz, some of the examples that I shared, we have created a Generative AI platform, which can be rolled out across a large organization.
And then the individuals in the organization start to build out their own Gen AI applications on that. We are building a small language model. We have a multi-agent framework, where the agents are doing or a set of agents are doing full solutions to certain business processes or certain functions.
So, these are different ways that Generative AI is being rolled out. It is difficult to compare, in that sense, the two. We see much deeper capability set that we have rolled out in Generative AI today than what we see anywhere else. Our clients are giving us that same view.
We are also seeing Generative AI a lot in productivity and especially in the deal flow we see today in cost takeout. And there, almost every large deal or significant deal even has some Generative AI component related to productivity. While not the whole deal is Generative AI, a part of the deal becomes Generative AI. So, it is a different way it is creating an impact from what we saw in the cloud space.
KumarRakesh
And any insight on the customer adoption? How many customers have signed up for that? How many transactions are happening or how many accelerators you have run on that?
SalilParekh
So there, we have not publicly shared that for the Generative AI. What we have shared, at this approach we are taking plus that our projects today are not a POC or proof of concept. They are actual projects. While they are small in revenue, delivering impact in that space.
KumarRakesh
Got it. My second question was, during the press conference, you did talk about the small language model for industry-specific use cases and the data that you are working on. My understanding is that at least the bigger models that we look around are either for consumer space or for enterprise generally for more of generic use cases, not for industry-specific use cases. This could be a white space from the product perspective. How do you want to position this in the end market? Would it still be just an accelerator built on top of what the other tools are there? Or you would want to eventually look at this as a separate product as well?
SalilParekh
So here, first, if you step back, our views on enterprise AI, Generative AI, large language models will also play a part. But in addition, we are working on a small language model. So, it is not one or the other.
The reason for the small language model, we believe we have some very good data sets within Infosys. And we are taking some, let us call it, clean data sets from outside the industry and so on. These then help train the small language model.
We are then building it for different industries. And it then becomes deployable in an industry for a specific client where they can build or we can help them build on this small language model other business applications. So the idea is, it is a new one, we feel we have some level of leadership on that. And we have launched this to see where it ends up.
KumarRakesh
Okay. So this will also work as an accelerator in deployment of AI applications. Is that fair?
SalilParekh
It will also be an accelerator, it will also be a foundation on which other business Generative AI applications can be built by the client or by us for the client.

The next question is from the line of Rishi Jhunjhunwala from IIFL Institutional Equities.
RishiJhunjhunwala
Thanks for the opportunity. Just one question. So, your growth in this quarter as well as last quarter has been fairly broad-based across verticals. There has been the commentary that you have given also suggests that discretionary is seeing some sort of pickup in some verticals.
But the guidance that you have provided for the second half effectively means that there is a considerable slowdown in the overall growth momentum. Now I understand there is some bit of seasonality that comes through. But given the nature of broad-based growth that you have delivered for two consecutive quarters at the midpoint of the guidance not having growth seems to be a little bit counterintuitive versus what you have commented on the demand environment. So, I just wanted to understand how you are thinking about it.
JayeshSanghrajka
So, if you look at what we have consistently said in the past is our H1 is going to be stronger than H2. H2 will have seasonality, which is furloughs, lower working and calendar day in Q3 and lower working and calendar day in Q4.
So, all of that is baked in, in the guidance. Our guidance philosophy has not changed. We run multiple models running up to the guidance, which define the bottom, midpoint and the top end of the guidance and then we say it as we see it, right? So, at this point in time, this is what we are seeing in terms of guidance.
RishiJhunjhunwala
Got it. And just very quickly, given where your utilization levels are right now, is it fair to assume that going forward, the hiring trends will largely reflect how you end up growing on revenues as well since a lot of the moderation on utilization is probably behind us?
JayeshSanghrajka
That is right, Rishi, again. We have always maintained that 84%, 85% is our comfort level utilization. We are already above that. So, we do not think at this point in time, there is any significant headroom left on that. So, most of our volume growth would come from the net hiring going forward.

The next question is from the line of Jamie Friedman from Susquehanna International Group.
JamieFriedman
Congratulations on the continued improvement. A number of the questions you are getting there about what your assumptions are about the seasonality of the year. I know you said in your previous answers that you expect the year is typically super seasonal in the first half.
In terms of what you are contemplating for the second half, if you could share maybe what your assumptions are on, say, the cost takeout narrative versus the discretionary narrative. Is that rate of change changing?
And maybe some color on the verticals because I see it is great to have the two consecutive quarters in banking, but the Retail was a little bit more volatile than expected. So, any comments on the typical super seasonality and why this year looks a little heavier? thank you
SalilParekh
The way we have seen it is there are two parts to it from what you mentioned. One, in building the outlook, we have taken a view of what we see today. So Financial Services discretionary, we saw positive. We have not seen as of now discretionary in the other industries. We saw the continued weakness on Retail. And then we saw a little bit new weakness on that automotive in Europe.
So, all that we took it together, then we created guidance. So, we have not assumed, for example, that some new discretionary will be positive or negative in this Q3, Q4. And the other part of seasonality, what Jayesh shared earlier, one is the furloughs in our Q3, then is the calendar days situation, both in Q3 and we have an additional little bit in Q4. So that is also adding to the way we have built this outlook for the full financial year.
JamieFriedman
Perfect. Thanks for the context. I appreciate. I will drop back in the queue.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Nitin Padmanabhan from Investec. Please go ahead.
NitinPadmanabhan
Yeah, hi. Thank you for the opportunity. So, you mentioned that the deal pipeline for smaller deals which is below $50 mn has sort of improved in double-digits. How has it been in terms of closures for current quarters? When the pipeline has improved, how is the closures doing in the current quarter? Have you seen that improve as well? that is the first question.
The second question is around this cost of software packages. That seems to have increased on a sequential basis. How much of that would have been in third-party versus internal? Is there a significant pass-through revenue this quarter was the question around it. So, any color around that would be helpful.
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So Nitin,
So, if you look at our large deal closures, I do not think small deals or large deal closures, we have not really seen a significant change in the decision-making process per se. As Salil said earlier, both our large deals pipeline still remains strong and our smaller deal pipelines have increased double-digit over the last quarter.
But we have not really seen a change in the decision-making behavior. By nature, these deals remain lumpy, right? So you will see quarters where you will do more, and you will see quarters where you will do lesser.
NitinPadmanabhan
In terms of closures, there is no increase in closures in the current quarter. When the pipeline has improved, the closures on less than $50 mn had not really improved in the current quarter. Is that a fair way to understand?
JayeshSanghrajka
I am saying the closure in terms of the time taken to decision has not changed. So, the decision-making process has not changed per se. There is no further delay or delayed closure is what I meant, Nitin.
NitinPadmanabhan
Yeah. What I was asking was in terms of the absolute closures in the current quarter, have they improved sequentially or year-on-year is what I was trying to understand in terms of the smaller deals.
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So look, what we are talking about is Q3 pipeline, which has increased. So, we will have to see how the conversion of that increases. But if the pipeline increases, and the win rates remain the same the closure will definitely increase. Right now, we have not really given color on that Nitin. But then what we are talking about is the pipeline, we see a significant increase at this point in time.
NitinPadmanabhan
Got it.
JayeshSanghrajka
Coming to the second question on third party, Nitin, see, third party remains integral part of many of our large deals and especially the mega deals. When you take over a large project from a client where you are taking over people, technology, the whole solution, you will have third-party costs that you will incur, which could be hardware, software, licenses, etc., which will become cost to you and become part of the revenue for the client, right, and this is both of that, that third party, we take it from the third-party vendors and whatever cost that we incur as well. So, it is all of that. We do not really break up that cost further.
NitinPadmanabhan
Sure that is helpful. Thank you so much. And all the best.
JayeshSanghrajka
Thank you.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Abhishek Kumar from JM Financial. Please go ahead.
AbhishekKumar
Yeah. So I just wanted to double click on the nature of smaller deals. You had mentioned in the prepared remarks that discretionary spend is restricted to certain sub-segments of Financial Services. So, in that context, are these smaller deals mostly in those subsectors or these deals are also non-discretionary, essentially, smaller POs that the client is releasing against a large lump-sum contract? That is my first question.
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So Abhishek, these are deals across various verticals and various types of deals. We do not really give further comment on that. Considering the fact that it was a significant movement in the overall deal pipeline, we did call it out. But we are not really breaking it up into how much of that is discretionary, etc.
AbhishekKumar
All right. So okay. Second question is on wage hike. Could you quantify the impact that we should bake in from wage hikes in 4Q and in 1Q of next year?
JayeshSanghrajka
So again, Abhishek, we have not really broken that out. What we have said is we will do that in a phased manner as we have done in the earlier years as well. Part of the employees will get it on effective 1st January and the balance will get it effective 1st April.
AbhishekKumar
Okay. Fair enough. Thank you and all the best.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Keith from BMO Capital. Please go ahead.
Keith
Hi. Thank you very much. I want to ask two questions, if I could? The first is for the annual guidance, what is the embedded expectations for the inorganic contributions for the year?
JayeshSanghrajka
So Keith, in the last quarter, when we changed our guidance, we had baked in the entire impact of the acquisitions in that. So just to clarify, this guidance range does not have any incremental change from the acquisition. This quarter, we got a benefit of 80 basis points from acquisition, which is pretty much 2.5 months of the consolidation effect of the acquisition. I mean it would be in similar range for Q3 and Q4.
Keith
Okay. Perfect. And my second question is, it is interesting what you said about discretionary spend coming back in the smaller deals contributing to TCV growth. I just wanted to get your perspective on why you think there was a change in this category. And the reason I ask is, as you said, these deals, all deals can be lumpy. And so I am trying to understand what do you think the durability is of the pipeline increasing in the small category? Do you think it is sustainable at this point or durable as we look out over the next number of quarters? And that is it for me. Thank you.
SalilParekh
Hi Keith. So first, I think just to make sure I understood the question. So there is a discretionary view and the small deals or deals smaller than $50 mn view. And they are let us say, somewhat distinct. There is an overlap, but they are two separate type of activities we have referenced in our comments.
On the deals smaller than $50 mn as Jayesh shared, we saw good increase and thought so it is relevant in that point to share because that gives a different type of a look into the market from what we see today. We do not know if it is durable. Now we will get a sense over the next few quarters how it looks or the closing timeline of the deal and like does it stay or does it disappear. But just now, it is more to show like there was one of the changes which we felt would be something of interest to share like that.
Keith
Okay. But that is the category that I was interested in is the smaller deals. But no comments on whether you think it is durable or not, whether it stays in place. Okay. But was there any commonality in the type of deals in there? I know you said it was across the industry verticals. I heard that, but any commonality in the type of deals within that smaller category?
SalilParekh
Nothing that we have sort of things that we would share more color on. We had some in terms of the areas and so on or which skills or which technologies, but we are not sharing that at this stage.
Keith
Okay. All right. That is it for me. Many thanks.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Prashant Kothari from Pictet Asset Management. Please go ahead.
PrashantKothari
Hi. Thanks for the opportunity. My question is around this side, like on the new deal wins. This was a bit of a soft quarter, but that is okay. I am more kind of concerned about the input on that which is when I look at the sales and support employees they have kind of gone down by 9% YoY. Can you just explain what is happening? Is it more on sales or on support side and whether it has been such a large reduction because I think that you still need to keep engagement with your customers high so that as and when the discretionary demand picks up then you can actually start winning projects also? So how do you kind of think about that, but is obviously the short-term kind of margin management which might have been the right time to do the reduction on the employee side?
JayeshSanghrajka
So Prashant, I think it is just a factor of some attrition, etc. We have a large pipeline of employees who are going to be joining us on the sales as well. So I do not think there is anything to do with margin program here. We will continue investing into sales and as required in the business.
PrashantKothari
So, this is more of a temporary blip, is it like the number of sales people will actually increase in the coming quarters?
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. And our sales cost has remained, in terms of the dollar value of the cost, it remained in the range of 4.5% over the many years. I think this is just a small blip.
PrashantKothari
Okay. All right. Thank you very much.
Moderator
Thank you. Next question is from the line of Manik Taneja from Axis Capital. Please go ahead.
ManikTaneja
Thank you for the opportunity. Question was with regards to the segmental margin performance. If you could help us understand the factors that have driven the sharp decline in margins in verticals like energy utilities, as well as other segments and the improvement that we have seen on the manufacturing side?
JayeshSanghrajka
Hi. There will be multiple factors that will play out across segments in terms of utilization, in terms of on-site mix, in terms of the kind of business mix, etc., the deals that will ramp up intra-quarter. So,there will be multiple factors that will play out. We do not see a significant change, if we look at it on a trend basis for a few quarters. But on a short-term quarter basis, you will see some of these factors playing out in terms of margins.
ManikTaneja
Sure. And the last one was with regards to wage hikes. While you suggested that they will be effective across two periods starting January 1. Could we get some sense on the quantum of wage hikes, the likely impact in Q4 and how is that split up across the workforce between January and April?
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So we have not really spelled out the quantum of the wage hike at this point in time. All we have said is it is going to be in 2 phases. Obviously, the junior employees will get it in January, and the rest will get it in April. The majority of the employees should get it in January.
ManikTaneja
Thank you and all the best for the future.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Sandeep Shah from Equirus Securities. Please go ahead.
SandeepShah
Thanks for the opportunity, and congrats on a good execution. Most of my questions have been answered. Just wanted to understand, how to read this double-digit increase in a smaller deal below $50 mn. Is it first broad-based across verticals? And can if it continues as a trend, can it be a precursor of a better demand in the calendar year 2025? Why I am asking this is one of the reasons for Infosys' better performance in FY'22 and FY'23 has been a lot many conversion of deals which were below $50 mn in terms of faster conversion to revenue.
JayeshSanghrajka
So Sandeep, the purpose of sharing this, as I said earlier, is we do share what we see. This was one of the interesting, one of the important things we thought is important for the investors to understand that we are seeing a change in the smaller deal pipelines, which directly indirectly in some way represents the discretionary spend, etc. So that is point number one.
The point number two, of course, if the win rate remains the same and we are able to convert that would reflect in terms of revenue in the near term. At this point in time, it is just one data point, very difficult to say whether it is going to become a trend, become sustainable, etc. So I think we should, at this point in time, read it as one data point.
SandeepShah
Okay. And is it broad-based across verticals and markets?
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes, it is.
SandeepShah
Thanks and all the best.

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Girish Pai from BOB Capital Markets. Please go ahead.
GirishPai
Thanks for the opportunity, My first question is regarding mega deals. Across the industry, even when I look at the peers, you have not seen any mega deals being signed. So are there similar number of mega deals in the pipeline compared to 2023? Or have the mega deal number kind of come down? That is my first question.
SalilParekh
So on mega deals, we do not share specific data on what is in the pipeline and not. We only talk about the overall large deal approach.
GirishPai
Okay. My second question, TCV to revenue conversion, has that changed versus what it was in the previous quarter or 6 months back? That is question number two. Question number three is you talked about value-based pricing being one of the key levers in Project Maximus. Can you just give us some examples as to how this is being practiced right now?
JayeshSanghrajka
Yes. So Girish, coming to your first question on conversion, we have not really seen any significant change in terms of signing or in terms of conversion at this point in time. We continue to gain market share consistently when we looked at it on a Q-on-Q basis. Coming to Project Maximus and the value-based selling, I think there are multiple tracks within that right from the new age pricing that tracks on getting the change request wherever we are eligible for getting the right rates, etc. There are multiple of those tracks within that. We have not really shared data beyond this for obvious reasons. But as you could see, the track has contributed significantly in terms of the realization and price realization.
GirishPai
Thank you very much.
Moderator
Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, we will take that as the last question. I will now hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.
SalilParekh
Thank you, everyone. So first, I want to share in summary, we had a strong quarter on revenue growth, margins, cash collections, large deals. So, we feel good about that. That resulted in an increase in our revenue growth guidance for the full year, which also gives us good confidence as we look into the future.
Clearly, Financial Services showing continued strength in discretionary spend, other segments remaining about the same with a comment on automotive in Europe becoming a bit slower. We have deep, deep capabilities in Generative AI, and these are things where we are building platforms, agent solutions, small language models that we believe will be a huge impact with our clients. And we continue to see a strong focus on execution across our business, and that remains key for us as we go ahead. So, we remain optimistic as to how the year will play out.
Thank you everyone, for joining in and we look forward to catching up in the next quarterly discussion.

Auditor’sResponsibilities for audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024 as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| • | Identify<br> and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error,<br> design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence<br> that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting<br> a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,<br> as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the<br> override of internal control. |
|---|---|
| • | Obtain<br> an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures<br> that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion<br> on the effectiveness of such controls. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Evaluate<br> the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates<br> made by the Board of Directors. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Evaluate<br> the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms<br> of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Conclude<br> on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of<br> accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists<br> related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group<br> to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are<br> required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the<br> Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions<br> are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,<br> future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Evaluate<br> the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures,<br> and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that<br> achieves fair presentation. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Perform<br> procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the<br> Listing Regulations to the extent applicable. |

INDEPENDENTAuditor’s Report ON THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIALRESULTS
ToThe Board of Directors of INFOSYS Limited
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of Standalone Financial Results of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”) for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024 (the “Statement”) being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the statement:
| (i) | is presented in<br>accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations; and |
|---|---|
| (ii) | gives a true and<br>fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim<br>Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”)<br>read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net profit and total comprehensive<br>income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024. |
| --- | --- |
Basisfor Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Management’sResponsibilities for the Statement
The Statement, which includes the Standalone Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors, and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Statement has been compiled from the related audited interim condensed standalone financial statements for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024. This responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024 that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statements that give a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’sResponsibilities for audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| • | Identify and assess<br>the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to<br>those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting<br>a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional<br>omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
|---|---|
| • | Obtain an understanding<br>of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for<br>the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such controls. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Evaluate the appropriateness<br>of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Evaluate the appropriateness<br>and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing<br>Regulations. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Conclude on the<br>appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,<br>whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to<br>continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s<br>report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are<br>based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the<br>Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Evaluate the overall<br>presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions<br>and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Obtain sufficient<br>appropriate audit evidence regarding the Statement to express an opinion on the Statement. |
| --- | --- |
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Statement that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Statement may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Statement.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Noteson segment information
Businesssegments
Based on the "management approach" as required by Ind-AS 108 - Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker 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 these business segments. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.
Segmentalcapital employed
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. The 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.

The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of the adequate accounting records for safeguarding assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective interim financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for theAudit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| · | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial<br>Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that<br>is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud<br>is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the<br>override of internal control. |
|---|---|
| · | Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit<br>procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates<br>and related disclosures made by management. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,<br>based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant<br>doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to<br>draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or,<br>if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of<br>our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial<br>Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions<br>and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within<br>the Group to express an opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision<br>and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements<br>of which we are independent auditors. |
| --- | --- |
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Overview and Notes to the Interim Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
1. Overview
1.1 Company overview

Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".
The company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics city, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the company's Board of Directors on October 17, 2024.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by International Accounting Standards Board, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2024. 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.
The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.
As the quarter and year to date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year to date figures reported in this statement.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The interim condensed 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.
1.4 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Interim condensed consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The 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 judgements are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
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 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 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.
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 obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
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 2.12)
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. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. 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 2.10 and 2.9.2)
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 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 (CGUs) is less than it’s 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 2.9.1)

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, which 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 carried at fair value throughother 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 carried at fair valuethrough profit or loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is 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. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, carriedat 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 as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IFRS 9, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability carried 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 net profit 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 transaction.
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 net profit in the interim condensed consolidated 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, option pricing model, market multiples, 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 revenues 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 Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.
The amount of ECL (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 interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

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 fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at September 30, 2024 is as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2024, quoted debt securities of $257 million were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of fair value hierarchy, since these were valued based on quoted price and quoted debt securities of $9 million were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of fair value hierarchy, since these were valued based on market observable inputs.
A one percentage point change in the unobservable inputs used in fair valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities does not have a significant impact in its value.
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, target maturity fund units, quoted debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, quoted bonds issued by government and quasi-government organizations. 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.

2.6 Provisions and other contingencies
Accounting Policy
2.6.1 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 recognized 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.
a. Post sales client support
The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support for 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.
b. 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. 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 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.

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions majorly represents costs associated with providing post 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.
Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
As at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, claims
against the Group, not acknowledged as debts, (excluding demands from income tax authorities- Refer to Note 2.12) amounted to $98 million
(
818 crore) and $95 million (
789 crore), respectively.
2.6.2 McCamish Cybersecurity incident
In November 2023, certain systems of Infosys McCamish Systems LLC (“McCamish”), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited), were encrypted by ransomware, resulting in the nonavailability of certain applications and systems. McCamish initiated its incident response and engaged cybersecurity and other specialists to assist in its investigation of and response to the incident and remediation and restoration of impacted applications and systems. By December 31, 2023, McCamish, with external specialists’ assistance, substantially remediated and restored the affected applications and systems.
Actions taken by McCamish included investigative analysis conducted by a third-party cybersecurity firm to determine, among other things, whether and the extent to which company or customer data was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration. McCamish also engaged a third-party eDiscovery vendor in assessing the extent and nature of such data. McCamish in coordination with its third-party eDiscovery vendor has identified corporate customers and individuals whose information was subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration. McCamish processes personal data on behalf of its corporate customers. McCamish may incur additional costs including from indemnities or damages/claims, which are indeterminable at this time. See the section titled “Legal proceedings” below for information on certain legal proceedings related to the McCamish cybersecurity incident.
2.6.3 Legal proceedings
From March 6, 2024 through July 25, 2024, six complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against McCamish. The complaints arise out of the cybersecurity incident at McCamish initially disclosed on November 3, 2023. Five of the complaints were purportedly filed on behalf of individuals whose personally identifiable information was exposed to unauthorized third parties as a result of the incident. The sixth complaint was filed by an individual proceeding on their own behalf. As of August 7, 2024, all six actions have been consolidated into the first-filed action.
Apart from claims arising from the McCamish cybersecurity incident and the foregoing actions, the Group is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that such ordinary course legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition.
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 charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. 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:
| Building | 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 25 years |
| --- | --- |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful 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.
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. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.
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 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 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.
The changes in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are as follows:

Consequent to the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 (“the Rules”), the Company was required to transfer its CSR capital assets installed prior to January 2021. Towards this the Company had incorporated a subsidiary ‘Infosys Green Forum’ (IGF) under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company had completed the transfer of assets upon obtaining the required approvals from regulatory authorities, as applicable. During March 31, 2024, the application filed by IGF for registration u/s.12AB of the Income Tax Act was rejected and registration cancelled. IGF has filed an appeal against this order before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
The Group had contractual commitments for capital expenditure primarily comprising of commitments for infrastructure facilities and computer equipments aggregating to $110 million and $94 million as at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
2.8 Leases
Accounting Policy
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. 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.
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 Group 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 Group’s 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.
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 right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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 is 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 right-of-use 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.

2.9 Goodwill and Intangible assets
2.9.1 Goodwill
Accounting Policy
Goodwill represents 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 and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 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. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and includes estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins.
Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:
(Dollars in millions)
| Particulars | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Carrying value at the beginning | 875 | 882 |
| Goodwill on acquisitions (Refer to note 2.10) | 309 | – |
| Translation differences | 32 | (7) |
| Carrying value at the end | 1,216 | 875 |
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
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), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. 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 Group 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 prepare 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.
2.10 Business combinations
Accounting policy
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations.
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 interim condensed Consolidated 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 derecognized.

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options.
The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. 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 company 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.
The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
| Particulars | For options granted in | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiscal 2025- Equity Shares-RSU | Fiscal 2025- ADS-RSU | Fiscal 2024- Equity Shares-RSU | Fiscal 2024- ADS-RSU | |

Weighted average fair value as on grant date ( ) / ($ ADS) |
1,311 | 16.59 | 1,317 | 16.27 |
The expected life of the RSU/ESOP is estimated based on the vesting term and contractual term of the RSU/ESOP, as well as expected exercise behavior of the employee who receives the RSU/ESOP.
2.12 Income Taxes
Accounting policy
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in 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 equity or 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; deferred tax assets and deferred 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. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.
Income tax expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprises:

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversals) of $10 million and reversals (net of provisions) of $7 million. Income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversals) of $17 million and reversals (net of provisions) of of $9 million. These provisions and reversals pertaining to prior periods are primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters, upon filing of tax return and completion of assessments, across various jurisdictions.
Deferred income tax for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.
The Company’s Advanced Pricing Arrangement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for US branch income tax expired in March 2021. The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.
As at September 30, 2024, claims against the Group
not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to $343 million (
2,877 crore). As at March 31, 2024, claims
against the Group not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to $335 million (
2,794 crore).
Amount paid to statutory authorities against the tax
claims amounted to $627 million (
5,254 crore) and $1,048 million (
8,743 crore) as at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024
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 issues of disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes, among others. These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its 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.
2.13 Basic and diluted shares used in computingearnings 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.

2.15 Segment reporting
IFRS 8 Operating Segments 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.
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 service. 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. The 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 2.16 Revenue from operations

No client individually accounted for more than 10% of the Revenue for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively
2.16 Revenue from Operations
Accounting Policy:
The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure 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 on a 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 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.
Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Group is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.
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 obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.
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 Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.
Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs
The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Disaggregated revenue information
Revenue disaggregation by business segments has been included in segment information (Refer note 2.15). The table below presents disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by geography and contract type. The Group believes that 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.

The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 54% and 53%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 54% and 52%, respectively.
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 and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as 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 balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2024, 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.
Dividend
The final dividend on shares is 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.
The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay/distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

Accounting policy
2.19.1 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 the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian 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 or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.
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, 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 are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. 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 is recognized in net profits in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
2.19.2 Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys, Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve 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.
2.19.3 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 of the contributions 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.
2.19.4 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 external 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.
2.19.5 Other income, net
Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment 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.
2.19.6 Foreign Currency
Functional currency and presentation currency
The functional currency of Infosys, its Indian subsidiaries 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 interim condensed 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 off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to 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.
2.19.7 Government grants
The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall 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.
2.19.8 Operating Profits
Operating profit of the Group is computed considering the revenues, net of cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.

IFRS INR Earning Release
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INFOSYS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Interim CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at September 30, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months and six months ended on that date, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view in conformity with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at September 30, 2024, its consolidated profit and its consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended on that date, its consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the ICAI, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Responsibilities of Management and ThoseCharged with Governance for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB. The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of the adequate accounting records for safeguarding assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective interim financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for theAudit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| · | Identify and assess the risks<br>of material misstatement of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform<br>audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.<br>The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve<br>collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
|---|---|
| · | Obtain an understanding of internal<br>financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the<br>purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness<br>of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Conclude on the appropriateness<br>of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty<br>exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If<br>we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures<br>in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions<br>are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause<br>the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate the overall presentation,<br>structure and content of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Interim Condensed<br>Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Obtain sufficient appropriate<br>audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the Interim Condensed Consolidated<br>Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities<br>included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are independent auditors. |
| --- | --- |
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

INFOSYS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Overview and Notes to the Interim condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
1. Overview
1.1 Company overview
Infosys Limited ('the Company' or Infosys) provides consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, to enable clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is herein after referred to as the "Group".
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics City, Hosur Road, Bengaluru -560100, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on October 17, 2024.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by International Accounting Standards Board, under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair values. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2024. 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.
The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.
As the quarter and year-end figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-end figures reported in this statement.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The interim condensed 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.
1.4 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated 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 financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
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 the 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.
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 obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
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, 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, the 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 2.12)
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. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. 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 2.10 and 2.9.2).
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 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 (CGUs) 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.

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 which 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 carried at fair value throughother 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 carried at fair valuethrough profit or loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is 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 are 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. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities, carriedat 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 as 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 net profit in the consolidated 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 interim consolidated 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 consolidated 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 net profit in the consolidated 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 ,option pricing model, market multiples, 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 revenues 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 Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.
The amount of ECL (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 the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

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).

During the year ended March 31, 2024, quoted debt securities
of
2,143 crore were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 of fair value hierarchy, since these were valued based on quoted price
and quoted debt securities of
73 crore were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of fair value hierarchy, since these were valued

2.6 Provisions and other contingencies
Accounting Policy
2.6.1 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 recognized 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.
a. Post sales client support
The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on 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.
b. 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. 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 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.

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions majorly represents cost associated with providing post 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.
Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
As at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 claims
against the Group, not acknowledged as debts, (excluding demands from income tax authorities - Refer to note 2.12) amounted to
818
crore and
789 crore respectively.
2.6.2 McCamish Cybersecurity incident
In November 2023, certain systems of Infosys McCamish Systems LLC (“McCamish”), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited), were encrypted by ransomware, resulting in the nonavailability of certain applications and systems. McCamish initiated its incident response and engaged cybersecurity and other specialists to assist in its investigation of and response to the incident and remediation and restoration of impacted applications and systems. By December 31, 2023, McCamish, with external specialists’ assistance, substantially remediated and restored the affected applications and systems.
Actions taken by McCamish included investigative analysis conducted by a third-party cybersecurity firm to determine, among other things, whether and the extent to which company or customer data was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration. McCamish also engaged a third-party eDiscovery vendor in assessing the extent and nature of such data. McCamish in coordination with its third-party eDiscovery vendor has identified corporate customers and individuals whose information was subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration. McCamish processes personal data on behalf of its corporate customers. McCamish may incur additional costs including from indemnities or damages/claims, which are indeterminable at this time. See the section titled “Legal proceedings” below for information on certain legal proceedings related to the McCamish cybersecurity incident.
2.6.3 Legal proceedings
From March 6, 2024 through July 25, 2024, six complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against McCamish. The complaints arise out of the cybersecurity incident at McCamish initially disclosed on November 3, 2023. Five of the complaints were purportedly filed on behalf of individuals whose personally identifiable information was exposed to unauthorized third parties as a result of the incident. The sixth complaint was filed by an individual proceeding on their own behalf. As of August 7, 2024, all six actions have been consolidated into the first-filed action.
Apart from claims arising from the McCamish cybersecurity incident and the foregoing actions, the Group is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that such ordinary course legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition.
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 the Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. 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:

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful 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.
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. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.
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 net profit in the interim condensed consolidated 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 net profit in the consolidated 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.

Consequent to the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 (“the Rules”), the Company was required to transfer its CSR capital assets installed prior to January 2021. Towards this the Company had incorporated a subsidiary ‘Infosys Green Forum’ (IGF) under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company had completed the transfer of assets upon obtaining the required approvals from regulatory authorities, as applicable. During March 31, 2024, the application filed by IGF for registration u/s.12AB of the Income Tax Act was rejected and registration cancelled. IGF has filed an appeal against this order before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
The Group had contractual commitments for capital expenditure
primarily comprising of commitments for infrastructure facilities and computer equipment aggregating to
920 crore and
780
crore as at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
2.8 Leases
Accounting Policy
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. 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.
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 Group 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 Group’s 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.
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 right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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 of 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 is 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 right-of-use 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.

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 and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 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. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and includes estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins.
Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:
(In
crore)
| Particulars | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Carrying value at the beginning | 7,303 | 7,248 |
| Goodwill on acquisitions (Refer to note 2.10) | 2,593 | – |
| Translation differences | 295 | 55 |
| Carrying value at the end | 10,191 | 7,303 |
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGUs or groups of CGUs, which are benefited from the synergies of the acquisition.
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), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. 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 Group 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 prepare 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 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 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.
2.10 Business combinations
Accounting policy
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of IFRS 3 (Revised), Business Combinations.
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 interim condensed Consolidated 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 derecognized.
Acquisition
InSemi
On May 10, 2024, Infosys Ltd acquired 100% voting interests in InSemi Technology Services Private Limited, a semiconductor design services company headquartered in India. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our expertise in semiconductor ecosystem and Engineering R&D services.
The purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon determination of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

| # | The estimated useful life is around 1 year to 5 years |
| --- | --- |
The excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired has been attributed to goodwill. The primary items that generated this goodwill are the value of the acquired assembled workforce and estimated synergies, neither of which qualify as an intangible asset.
Goodwill is not tax-deductible.
The purchase consideration of
198 crore includes
cash of
168 crore and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of
30 crore as on the date of acquisition.
At the acquisition date, the key inputs used in determination
of the fair value of contingent consideration are the probabilities assigned towards achievement of financial targets and discount rate

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options.
The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. 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 company 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.
The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
| Particulars | For options granted in | |||

2.12 Income Taxes
Accounting policy
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the interim condensed 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 equity or 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; deferred tax assets and deferred 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. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.
Income tax expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income comprises:

Income tax expense for the three months ended September
30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 includes provisions (net of reversal) of
83 crore and reversal (net of provisions) of
58
crore, respectively. Income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 includes provisions (net of
reversal) of
143 crore and reversal (net of provisions) of
73 crore, respectively. These provisions and reversals pertaining
to prior periods are primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters, upon filing of tax return and completion of assessments,
across various jurisdictions.
Deferred income tax for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.
The Company’s Advanced Pricing Arrangement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for US branch income tax expired in March 2021. The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.
As at September 30, 2024, claims against the Group
not acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to
2,877 crore.
As at March 31, 2024, claims against the Group not
acknowledged as debts from the Income tax authorities amounted to
2,794 crore.
The amount paid to statutory authorities against the
tax claims amounted to
5,254 crore and
8,743 crore as at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, 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 issues of disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes, among others. These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its 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.
2.13 Reconciliation of basic and diluted sharesused 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 at 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.

2.15 Segment reporting
IFRS 8 Operating Segments 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. 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 represents 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. The 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 2.16 Revenue from operations.

2.16 Revenue from Operations
Accounting Policy
The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure 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 on a fixed-time frame 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 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.
Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Group is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.
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 obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.
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 Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.
Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.
The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Disaggregated revenue information
Revenue disaggregation by business segments has been included in segment information (Refer note 2.15). The table below presents disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by geography and contract type. The Group believes that 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.

^*^Geographical revenues is based on thedomicile of customer.
The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 54% and 53%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 54% and 52% respectively.
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 and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as 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 receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the consolidated statement of balance sheet.

2.19 Break-up of expenses and other income, net
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 the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian 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 a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund and includes death and disability benefits. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.
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, 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 are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. 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 is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated 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, Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve 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 external 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.
Other income, net
Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment 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.
Foreign currency
Accounting policy
Functional currency
The functional currency of Infosys, its Indian subsidiaries and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
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 interim condensed 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 off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to 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.
Operating Profits
Operating profit of the Group is computed considering the revenues, net of cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid interim condensed standalone financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”), read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at September 30, 2024 its profit and total comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended on that date, changes in equity and its cash flows for the six months ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the interim condensed standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the interim condensed standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the interim condensed standalone financial statements.
Responsibilities of Managementand Those Charged with Governance for the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with Ind AS 34 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the interim condensed standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the interim condensed standalone financial statements, Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilitiesfor the Audit of the Interim Condensed Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the interim condensed standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these interim condensed standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| · | Identify<br> and assess the risks of material misstatement of the interim condensed standalone financial<br> statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive<br> to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a<br> basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud<br> is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional<br> omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
|---|---|
| · | Obtain<br> an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design<br> audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing<br> an opinion on effectiveness of such controls. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate<br> the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates<br> and related disclosures made by management. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Conclude<br> on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting<br> and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related<br> to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to<br> continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required<br> to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the interim<br> condensed standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify<br> our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our<br> auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease<br> to continue as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate<br> the overall presentation, structure and content of the interim condensed standalone financial<br> statements, including the disclosures, and whether the interim condensed standalone financial<br> statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair<br> presentation. |
| --- | --- |
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the interim condensed standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the interim condensed standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the interim condensed standalone financial statements.
We also communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics City, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The interim condensed standalone financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on October 17, 2024.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financialstatements
These interim condensed standalone financial statements are prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accordingly, these interim condensed standalone financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed standalone financial statements should be read in conjunction with the standalone financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.
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. The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed standalone financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.
As the quarter and year-end figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-end figures reported in this statement.
1.3 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the interim condensed standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the 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 interim condensed standalone financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The 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 no. 1.4. 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 judgements are reflected in the interim condensed standalone financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed standalone financial statements.
1.4 Critical accounting estimates andjudgments
a. Revenue recognition
The Company’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 contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. The Company 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 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 Company’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 Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for other fixed-price contracts. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company 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.
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 Company is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Company is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Company considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
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 Company'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 company 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 2.16).
c. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. 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 Company's assets are determined by the 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 2.1).
2.1 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 the Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
| The<br> estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Building*^(1)^* | 22-25<br> years |
| Plant<br> and machinery*^(1)^* | 5 years |
| Office<br> equipment | 5 years |
| Computer<br> equipment*^(1)^* | 3-5<br> years |
| Furniture<br> and fixtures*^(1)^* | 5 years |
| Vehicles*^(1)^* | 5 years |
| Leasehold<br> improvements | Lower<br> of useful life of the asset or lease term |
| ^(1)^ | Based on technical evaluation, the Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. |
| --- | --- |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful 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.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets 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 Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.
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 interim condensed Statement of Profit and Loss 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 interim condensed Statement of Profit and Loss 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.

2.2.2 Other 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), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.
Research costs are expensed as incurred.

2.3 LEASES
Accounting Policy
The Company as a lessee
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. The Company 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 Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company 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 Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
As a lessee, the Company 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 Company 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’s 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.
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 right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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. Right-of-use 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 Company 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 Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is 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 Company 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 right-of-use 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.

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting Policy
2.10.1 Initial recognition
The Company 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, which 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.

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 carried atfair 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 Company 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 carried atfair 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 recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
(v) Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the separate financial statements.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The Company 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 counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financialliabilities, carried at fair value through profit or loss.
This category includes derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges.
Although the Company believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, 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 net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss 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 Company 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 hedge 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 hedge reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the condensed standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. 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 hedge reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedge reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve is transferred to the net profit in the condensed standalone Statement of Profit and Loss 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 hedge reserve is reclassified to net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.10.3 Derecognition of financial instruments
The Company 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 Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
2.10.4 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company 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, option pricing model, market multiples, 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.
2.10.5 Impairment
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenues which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues 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 Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Company considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Company deals with and the countries where it operates.The amount of ECLs (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 statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance-based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options. The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. 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 company 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.
The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

2.15 PROVISIONS
Accounting Policy
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company 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.
a. Post-sales client support
The Company provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company 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.
b. Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. 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 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 Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the interim condensed standalone statement of profit and loss.
2.16 INCOME TAXES
Accounting Policy
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity or 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. 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 Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities; deferred tax assets and deferred 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. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.

80 crore. These provisions and reversals pertaining to prior
periods are primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters, upon filing of tax return and completion of assessments,
across various jurisdictions.
Deferred income tax for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.
The Company’s Advanced Pricing Arrangement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for US branch income tax expired in March 2021. The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.
2.17 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS
Accounting Policy
The Company derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure services, maintenance, consulting and package implementation, licensing of software products and platforms across the Company’s core and digital offerings (together called as “software related services”). Contracts with customers are either on a time-and-material, unit of work, fixed-price or on a 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 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 Company 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 Company assesses the services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. The Company 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 Company estimates the cost of satisfying the performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin based on similar services.
The Company’s contracts may include variable consideration including rebates, volume discounts and penalties. The Company 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 Company’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 Company 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 Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price, the Company 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.
Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Company is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Company uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.
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 Company 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 Company is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when the Company is the principal for the transaction. In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether it obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Company considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.
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 Company 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.Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to expenses over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.
The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Statement of Profit and Loss.
Revenue from operations for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is as follows:
(In
crore)
| Particulars | Three months ended September 30, | Six months ended September 30, | ||

| Total revenue from operations | 34,257 | 32,629 | 67,540 | 64,440 |
The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 57% and 55%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 57% and 55% .
Trade receivables and Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in receivables, unbilled revenue, and unearned revenue on the Company’s 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 Company’s receivables are rights to consideration that are unconditional. Unbilled revenues comprising revenues in excess of billings from time and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as 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 receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the Balance Sheet.
2.18 OTHER INCOME, NET
2.18.1 Other income
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.
2.18.2 Foreign currency
Accounting Policy
Functional currency
The functional currency of the Company is the Indian rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
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 condensed standalone Statement of Profit and Loss 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 the 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.
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).
Government grant
The Company recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall 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 Profit and Loss 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 net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.
Other income for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is as follows:

2.19 EXPENSES
Accounting Policy
2.19.1 Gratuity and Pension
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible Indian employees of Infosys. 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 Company. The Company contributes Gratuity liabilities to the Infosys Limited Employees' Gratuity Fund Trust (the Trust). Trustees administer contributions made to the Trusts and contributions are invested in a scheme with the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian law.
The Company 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. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.
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 Company to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and market risk.
The Company 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 are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. 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 is recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.19.2 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.
2.19.3 Superannuation
Certain employees of Infosys are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Company 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.
2.19.4 Compensated absences
The Company 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 external 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.

2.20 BASIC AND DILUTED SHARES USED INCOMPUTING 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 Company 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 Company 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 at 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.
2.21 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
Accounting Policy
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 recognized 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.

Ind AS Consolidated
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INFOSYS LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Interim Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of INFOSYS LIMITED (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at September 30, 2024, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income) for the three months and six months ended on that date, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements including a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the “interim condensed consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid interim condensed consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“Ind AS 34”) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”), read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at September 30, 2024, its consolidated profit and its consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended on that date, its consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under section 143 (10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Chargedwith Governance for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with Ind AS 34 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of the adequate accounting records for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective interim financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their own respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Boards of Directors of the entities included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| · | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the interim condensed consolidated financial<br>statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that<br>is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud<br>is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the<br>override of internal control. |
|---|---|
| · | Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit<br>procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates<br>and related disclosures made by management. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,<br>based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant<br>doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to<br>draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements or,<br>if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of<br>our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the interim condensed consolidated financial<br>statements, including the disclosures, and whether the interim condensed consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions<br>and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within<br>the Group to express an opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision<br>and performance of the audit of financial statements of such entities included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements<br>of which we are independent auditors. |
| --- | --- |
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Accounting policy
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period 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.

INFOSYS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Overview and notes to the Interim Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
1. Overview
1.1 Company overview
Infosys Limited ('the Company' or Infosys) provides consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, to enable clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation. Infosys strategic objective is to build a sustainable organization that remains relevant to the agenda of clients, while creating growth opportunities for employees and generating profitable returns for investors. Infosys strategy is to be a navigator for our clients as they ideate, plan and execute on their journey to a digital future.
Infosys together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts is hereinafter referred to as the "Group".
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Electronics city, Hosur Road, Bengaluru 560100, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listings on the BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing equity shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on October 17, 2024.
1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting , under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.
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. The material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.
As the quarter and year-to-date figures are taken from the source and rounded to the nearest digits, the quarter figures in this statement added up to the figures reported for the previous quarters might not always add up to the year-to-date figures reported in this statement.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
Infosys consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The interim condensed 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.
1.4 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The 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 no. 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 judgements are reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
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 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 judgment.
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 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 the 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 judgment and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information.
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 obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
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, 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, the 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 Notes 2.15).
c. Business combinations and intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using Ind AS 103, Business Combinations. Ind AS 103 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. These valuations are conducted by external valuation experts. Estimates are required to be made in determining the value of contingent consideration, value of option arrangements and intangible assets. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Management (Refer to Note 2.1 and 2.3.2).
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 Group's assets are determined by the 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 2.2).
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 (CGUs) 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 (Referto note 2.3).
2. Notes to the Interim Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
2.1 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Accounting policy
Business combinations have been accounted for using the acquisition method under the provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.
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 interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
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 accounted for at carrying value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
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 derecognized.
Acquisition
InSemi
On May 10, 2024, Infosys Ltd acquired 100% voting interests in InSemi Technology Services Private Limited, a semiconductor design services company headquartered in India. This acquisition is expected to strengthen our expertise in semiconductor ecosystem and Engineering R&D services.
The purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon determination of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

2.2 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 the Management. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived at after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. 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 ^(1)^ | 22-25 years |
|---|---|
| Plant and machinery ^(1)(2)^ | 5 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Computer equipment ^(1)^ | 3-5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures ^(1)^ | 5 years |
| Vehicles*^(1)^* | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lower of useful<br>life of the asset or lease term |
| ^(1)^ | Based on technical evaluation, the Management believes that the useful lives as givenabove best represent the period over which the Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is differentfrom the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 |
| --- | --- |
| ^(2)^ | Includes Solar plant with a useful life of 25 years |
| --- | --- |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The useful 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.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets 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. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset.
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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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.

Consequent to the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021 (“the Rules”), the Company was required to transfer its CSR capital assets installed prior to January 2021. Towards this the Company had incorporated a subsidiary ‘Infosys Green Forum’ (IGF) under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company had completed the transfer of assets upon obtaining the required approvals from regulatory authorities, as applicable. During March 31, 2024, the application filed by IGF for registration u/s.12AB of the Income Tax Act was rejected and registration cancelled. IGF has filed an appeal against this order before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
2.3 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
2.3.1 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 purchase consideration, the fair value of net assets acquired is reassessed and the bargain purchase gain is recognized in capital reserve. 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 CGUs which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 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. Key assumptions in the cash flow projections are prepared based on current economic conditions and includes estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins.
Following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:
(In
crore)
| Particulars | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | |
| Carrying value at the beginning | 7,303 | 7,248 |
| Goodwill on acquisitions (Refer to note 2.1) | 2,593 | – |
| Translation differences | 295 | 55 |
| Carrying value at the end | 10,191 | 7,303 |
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU or groups of CGUs, which benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
2.3.2 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) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. 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 Group 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 labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to prepare 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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.

2.10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting policy
2.10.1 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, which 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.
2.10.2 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 carried at fair value throughother 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 carried at fair valuethrough profit or loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is 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. The counterparty for such contracts is generally a bank.
(i) Financial assets or financial liabilities,carried 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 Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, 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 net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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 interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. 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 Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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 net profit in the interim condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.10.3 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 Ind AS 109. 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.
2.10.4 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, option pricing model, market multiples, 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 approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
2.10.5 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 revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, ECLs 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 Group determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. The Group considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industries the Group deals with and the countries where it operates.
The amount of ECL (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 Profit and Loss.

Capital allocation policy
Effective fiscal 2025, the Company expects to continue its policy of returning approximately 85% of the free cash flow cumulatively over a 5-year period through a combination of semi-annual dividends and/or share buyback/ special dividends subject to applicable laws and requisite approvals, if any. Under this policy, the Company expects to progressively increase its annual dividend per share (excluding special dividend 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 buy back issued shares. As of September 30, 2024, 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.
Dividend
The final dividend on shares is 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.
The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay/distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.
The amount of per share dividend recognized as distribution to equity shareholders in accordance with Companies Act 2013 is as follows:

The fair value of the awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes Model for time and non-market performance based options and Monte Carlo simulation model is used for TSR based options.
The inputs to the model include the share price at date of grant, exercise price, expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term and the risk free rate of interest. 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 company 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.
The fair value of each equity settled award is estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
| Particulars | For options granted in | |||

2.14 PROVISIONS
Accounting policy
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.
a. Post sales client support
The Group provides its clients with a fixed-period post sales support on its fixed-price, fixed-timeframe contracts. Costs associated with such support services are accrued at the time related revenues are recorded and included in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. 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.
b. 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. 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 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.

Provision for post sales client support and other provisions majorly 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.
Provision for post sales client support and other provisions is included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss.
2.15 INCOME TAXES
Accounting policy
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity or 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; deferred tax assets and deferred 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. The income tax provision for the interim period is made based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected to be applicable for the full financial year. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to equity.
Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss comprises:

73 crore, respectively. These provisions and reversals pertaining
to prior periods are primarily on account of adjudication of certain disputed matters, upon filing of tax return and completion of assessments,
across various jurisdictions.
Deferred income tax for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 substantially relates to origination and reversal of temporary differences.
The Company’s Advanced Pricing Arrangement (APA) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for US branch income tax expired in March 2021. The Company has applied for renewal of APA and currently the US taxable income is based on the Company’s best estimate determined based on the expected value method.
2.16 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS
Accounting policy
The Group derives revenues primarily from IT services comprising software development and related services, cloud and infrastructure 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 on a 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 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 the 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.
Certain cloud and infrastructure services contracts include multiple elements which may be subject to other specific accounting guidance, such as leasing guidance. These contracts are accounted in accordance with such specific accounting guidance. In such arrangements where the Group is able to determine that hardware and services are distinct performance obligations, it allocates the consideration to these performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. In the absence of standalone selling price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. When such arrangements are considered as a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period and measure of progress is determined based on promise in the contract.
Revenue from licenses where the customer obtains a “right to use” the licenses is recognized at the time the license are 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 obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The Group considers whether it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or services, inventory risk, pricing discretion and other factors to determine whether it controls the specified goods or services and therefore, is acting as a principal or an agent.
A contract modification is a change in the scope or price or both of a contract that is approved by the parties to the contract. A contract modification that results in the addition of distinct performance obligations are accounted for either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if they are not priced at the standalone selling price. If the modification does not result in a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as part of the existing contract on a cumulative catch-up basis.
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 Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future; and (c) are expected to be recovered.
Capitalized contract costs relating to upfront payments to customers are amortized to revenue and other capitalized costs are amortized to expenses over the respective contract life on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. Capitalized costs are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when present value of projected remaining operating cash flows is not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs.
The Group presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Revenue from operation for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 are as follows:

The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 54% and 53%, respectively. The percentage of revenue from fixed-price contracts for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is 54% and 52%, respectively.
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 and material contracts and fixed price maintenance contracts are classified as 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 receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of impairment in the consolidated Balance Sheet.
2.17 OTHER INCOME, NET
Accounting policy
Other income is comprised primarily of interest income, dividend income, gain/loss on investment 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.
Foreign currency
Accounting policy
Functional currency
The functional currency of Infosys, its Indian subsidiaries and controlled trusts is the Indian rupee. The functional currencies for foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees (rounded off to crore; one crore equals ten million).
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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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 off, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net profit in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. 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 grant
The Group recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them shall be complied with, and the grants will be received. Government grants related to assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss 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 net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate.

2.18 EXPENSES
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 the Life Insurance Corporation of India as permitted by Indian 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. The defined benefit plans require contributions which are based on a percentage of salary that varies depending on the age of the respective employees.
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, 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 are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. 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 is recognized in net profit in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
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, Infosys BPM and EdgeVerve 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 external 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.

2.19 Leases
Accounting Policy
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and computers. 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.
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 Group 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 Group’s 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.
Certain lease arrangements includes 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 right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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.
Right-of-use 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 is 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 right-of-use 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.

2.20 BASIC AND DILUTED SHARES USED IN COMPUTINGEARNINGS 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 at 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.
2.21 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
Accounting policy
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 recognized 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.

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 issues of disallowance of expenditure towards software being held as capital in nature, payments made to Associated Enterprises held as liable for withholding of taxes, among others. These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its 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.

2.21.2 McCamish Cybersecurity incident
In November 2023, certain systems of Infosys McCamish Systems LLC (“McCamish”), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys Limited), were encrypted by ransomware, resulting in the nonavailability of certain applications and systems. McCamish initiated its incident response and engaged cybersecurity and other specialists to assist in its investigation of and response to the incident and remediation and restoration of impacted applications and systems. By December 31, 2023, McCamish, with external specialists’ assistance, substantially remediated and restored the affected applications and systems.
Actions taken by McCamish included investigative analysis conducted by a third-party cybersecurity firm to determine, among other things, whether and the extent to which company or customer data was subject to unauthorized access or exfiltration. McCamish also engaged a third-party eDiscovery vendor in assessing the extent and nature of such data. McCamish in coordination with its third-party eDiscovery vendor has identified corporate customers and individuals whose information was subject to unauthorized access and exfiltration. McCamish processes personal data on behalf of its corporate customers. McCamish may incur additional costs including from indemnities or damages/claims, which are indeterminable at this time. See the section titled “Legal proceedings” below for information on certain legal proceedings related to the McCamish cybersecurity incident.
2.21.3 Legal Proceedings
From March 6, 2024 through July 25, 2024, six complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against McCamish. The complaints arise out of the cybersecurity incident at McCamish initially disclosed on November 3, 2023. Five of the complaints were purportedly filed on behalf of individuals whose personally identifiable information was exposed to unauthorized third parties as a result of the incident. The sixth complaint was filed by an individual proceeding on their own behalf. As of August 7, 2024, all six actions have been consolidated into the first-filed action.
Apart from claims arising from the McCamish cybersecurity incident and the foregoing actions, the Group is subject to legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s management reasonably expects that such ordinary course legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will not have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition.

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. The 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 2.16 Revenue from operations.
