(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Mindtree Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”) as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company as of and for the year ended that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Board of Directors of the Holding Company, is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Holding Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Holding Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

2. Significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements
These financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values. GAAP, interalia comprises mandatory accounting standards as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’), the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified and applicable) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
2.2 Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Mindtree and its subsidiaries as set out below.
*Consolidated with effect from February 13, 2015.
**Consolidated with effect from July 16, 2015.
***Consolidated with effect from January 19, 2016.
^Dissolved with effect from November 19, 2015.
^^Application for dissolution filed on March 24, 2016.
The financial statements of Mindtree and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances/ transactions and the resultant unrealized gain/ loss from the date the parent company acquired control of those subsidiaries. The excess/ deficit of cost to the Company of its investment in the subsidiaries over its portion of equity at the respective dates on which investment in such entities were made is recognised in the consolidated financial statements as goodwill/ capital reserve. The parent Company’s portion of equity in such entities is determined on the basis of the book values of assets and liabilities as per the financial statements of such entities as on the date of investment and if not available, the financial statements for the immediately preceding period are adjusted for the effects of significant transactions, up to the date of investment.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
2.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (‘GAAP’) in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in future periods.
2.4 Fixed assets and depreciation
2.4.1 Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition (including directly attributable costs such as freight, installation, etc.) or construction less accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets, which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalised.
2.4.2 Acquired intangible assets are capitalised at the acquisition price. Internally generated intangible assets are recorded at cost that can be measured reliably during the development phase and when it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Group.
2.4.3 Leases under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.4.4 Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets, outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under capital advances. The cost of the fixed asset not ready for its intended use on such date, is disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
2.4.5 Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of assets estimated by the Group. Depreciation for assets purchased/ sold during a period is proportionately charged. Intangible assets are amortised over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Group for its use. The Group estimates the useful lives for fixed assets as follows:
The Group believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the useful lives of these assets based on internal assessment and supported by technical advice where necessary.
2.4.6 The cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of the lease. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired on finance lease are amortised over the lease term or useful life, whichever is lower.
2.5 Investments
2.5.1 Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific identification basis.
2.5.2 Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is carried out separately in respect of each investment.
2.5.3 Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of investment, determined individually for each investment.
2.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated cash flow statement comprises cash in hand and balance in bank in current accounts and deposit accounts that are highly liquid and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
2.7 Consolidated cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby consolidated net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.
2.8 Employee benefits
2.8.1 Gratuity is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Group has an employees’ gratuity fund managed by ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, SBI Life Insurance Company and Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gains and losses are charged to the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
2.8.2 Compensated absences are a long-term employee benefit and is accrued based on actuarial valuations at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Group accrues for the expected cost of short-term compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders services.
2.8.3 Contributions payable to the social security plans, which are a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the consolidated statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders services.
2.9 Revenue recognition
2.9.1 The Group derives its revenues primarily from software services. Revenue from software development on time-and-material basis is recognised as the related services are rendered. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised using the proportionate completion method, which is determined by relating the actual project cost of work performed to date to the estimated total project cost for each contract. Unbilled revenue represents cost and earnings in excess of billings while unearned revenue represents the billing in excess of cost and earnings. Provision for estimated losses, if any, on incomplete contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.
Maintenance revenue is recognised ratably over the period of the maintenance contract.
2.9.2 Provision for discounts is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with contractual terms of agreements with customers. Revenues are stated net of volume discount.
2.9.3 Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
2.9.4 Interest income is recognised using the time proportion method, based on the transactional interest rates.
2.10 Foreign exchange transactions
2.10.1 The Group is exposed to foreign currency transactions including foreign currency revenues, receivables and borrowings. With a view to minimize the volatility arising from fluctuations in currency rates, the Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and other derivative instruments.
2.10.2 Foreign exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the period.
2.10.3 Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date; the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
2.10.4 In respect of integral operations, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. The items in the consolidated statement of profit and loss are translated at the rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. The differences arising out of the translation are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
2.10.5 In respect of non-integral operations, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. The items in the consolidated statement of profit and loss are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The differences arising out of the translation are transferred to foreign currency translation reserve.
2.10.6 Forward exchange contracts and other similar instruments that are not in respect of forecasted transactions are accounted for using the guidance in Accounting Standard (‘AS’) 11, ‘The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates’. For such forward exchange contracts and other similar instruments covered by AS 11, based on the nature and purpose of the contract, either the contracts are recorded based on the forward rate/ fair value at the reporting date, or based on the spot exchange rate on the reporting date. For contracts recorded at the spot exchange rates, the premium or discount at the inception is amortised as income or expense over the life of the contract.
2.10.7 For forward exchange contracts and other derivatives that are not covered by AS 11 and that relate to a firm commitment or highly probable forecasted transactions, the Group has adopted Accounting Standard (‘AS’) 30, ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ to the extent that the adoption did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law and other regulatory requirements. In accordance with AS 30, such derivative financial instruments, which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting and where Group has met all the conditions of cash flow hedge accounting, are fair valued at balance sheet date and the resultant exchange loss/ (gain) is debited/ credited to the hedge reserve until the transaction is completed. Other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange loss/ (gain) has been debited/ credited to consolidated statement of profit and loss.
2.11 Warranties
Warranty costs (i.e. post contract support services) are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the year of recognition of revenue.
2.12 Provision and contingent liabilities
The Group creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
2.13 Taxation
The current income tax charge is determined in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to respective entities within the Group. Deferred tax charge or credit are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to timing difference that result between the profit offered for income taxes and the profit as per the financial statements. Deferred tax in respect of timing difference which originate during the tax holiday period but reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the period in which the timing difference originate. For this purpose the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse first. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, when there is a brought forward loss or unabsorbed depreciation under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/ virtually certain to be realised.
Minimum alternate tax (‘MAT’) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet if there is a convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal tax after the tax holiday period and the resultant assets can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a period of ten years from the period in which such credit is availed.
The entities within the Group offset, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
2.14 Earnings per share
In determining earnings per share, the Group considers the consolidated net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any extraordinary item. The number of equity shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus shares, as appropriate.
2.15 Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset (including goodwill) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised. In respect of goodwill, impairment loss will be reversed only when it is caused by specific external events and their effects have been reversed by subsequent external events.
2.16 Employee stock based compensation
The Group measures the compensation cost relating to employee stock options, restricted shares and phantom stock options using the intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is amortised over the vesting/ service period.
2.17 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on consolidation/ acquisition of assets is not amortised. It is tested for impairment on a periodic basis and written off to the extent of impairment, if any.
2.18 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that:
- the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them; and
- the grant will be received.
Government grants related to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis 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. Such grants are deducted in reporting the related expense. Where the Group receives non-monetary grants, the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisition cost. In case a non-monetary asset is given free of cost it is recognised at a nominal value.

3.8.1 Commitments
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for as at March 31, 2016 is ₹ 262 (March 31, 2015: ₹ 508).
3.8.2 Segmental reporting
The Group is structured into five verticals – RCM, BFSI, TMS, TH and Others. The Group considers business segment as the primary segment and geographical segment based on the location of customers as the secondary segment.
The accounting principles consistently used in the preparation of the financial statements are also consistently applied to record income and expenditure in individual segments.
Income and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainder of costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Certain expenses are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Group therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such expenses and accordingly such expenses are separately disclosed as unallocable and directly charged against total income.
The assets of the Group are used interchangeably between segments, and the management believes that it is currently not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities since a meaningful segregation is not possible.
