Shaping the future of insurance

Letter to the Shareholders

Tomorrow’s  
demands today

DEAR  
SHAREHOLDERS,
The fiscal 2018-19 was a  
year shaped by several 
strategic initiatives 
that successfully led 
to quarter-on-quarter 
consistent performance.

We witnessed a growth of 22.59% in 
our top-line and of 382.40% in our profit 
before tax over financial year 2017-18 
levels. Business momentum continued 
to accelerate and we are experiencing 
higher demand for our cloud-based 
platform solutions. With most insurance 
carriers moving to the cloud, it is already 
an integral part of their technology 
environment and business platform 
strategies. Our revenue from the 
cloud expanded by 67.22% in the year, 
occupying an incrementally larger share 
in our earnings mix. Our 12-month 
executable backlog remains strong, 
growing at 10.49% year-on-year.

Big picture
The market dynamics for our 
core platform solutions and services 
remain compelling. Insurance today is a 
US$ 4.9  trillion industry. While digital is 
profoundly transforming conventional 
paradigms across all customer-facing 
industries, the insurance space is still in 
the early stages of digital transformation. 
This means that the next five to ten 
years present a significant potential for 
change. This, in turn, is helping industry 
participants chart a course towards 
greater use of innovation, software

and services in the sector. Beyond new 
technologies and new value propositions, 
businesses are reassessing their 
customer relations, security compliance 
and operating models. 

Insurers, to enter the next phase 
of growth, will focus on improving 
operational efficiency, boosting 
productivity and lowering costs with 
new technology, while customizing 
products and services to meet the 

evolving demands of the emerging 
digital economy. 

Operational overview
Majesco is proactively pursuing – 
organic development, partnerships 
and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) 
– to accelerate the pace of innovation, 
geographic expansion and market share 
gain. This is part of our multi-pronged 
strategy to become the premier provider 
of modern technology solutions

have solutions and best practices to help

With this, on behalf of Majesco, I am 
pleased to present our partnerships with 
clients, the innovation focus of our teams 
and our performance for shareholders 
in the Annual Report 2018-19. I would 
also take this opportunity to thank 
everyone, especially my fellow Board 
members, for their continued guidance, 
trust and confidence. We are energized 
by the bold new landscape to craft an 
ideal environment for bringing new ideas 
and new concepts to life and supporting

to support the core needs of the 
insurance industry.

In P&C, we are organically expanding 
our existing client base, through 
upselling, cross-selling and adoption. 
We are signing up with new clients and 
leveraging our innovation agenda. In L&A 
and Group, we are stepping up our play 
and focusing on gaining a foothold in the 
Group and Voluntary Benefit as well as in 
the Individual Life customer segment.

Our strategic partnerships with IBM, 
Capgemini and Deloitte are crucial to 
working with Tier 1 and 2 insurers in 
P&C and L&A and Group, going well 
beyond the traditional SI relationship. 
Our collaboration with IBM is focused on 
using our core platforms as an integral 
part of the IBM Insurance Platform on 
IBM Cloud. At the same time, Capgemini 
has chosen the L&A and Group Core 
Suite as the platform of choice to support 
their transformation programs, and BPO 
and TPA initiatives. We are also invested 
in its growing ecosystem of InsurTech 
partners who extend our value, 
connecting insurers with innovative 
capabilities and solutions that matter.

During the year under review, 
we announced the acquisition of 
Exaxe, an award-winning SaaS 
provider of software solutions 
in Europe. Exaxe helped life and 
pensions companies embrace digital 
transformation, empowering them to 
launch new products faster, administer 
products more efficiently and respond 
with greater flexibility to the Life, 
Pensions and Wealth Management 
segment. This acquisition was intended 
to strengthen and expand our deep 
software offerings, while accessing a 
new segment and complementing our 
footprint in the UK. 

Our Majesco Digital1st portfolio, a 
key launch from 2018, is made to 
adapt to different cost structures, 
customer segments and user 
personas. It is designed and built as 
a microservices-based, multi-tenant 
cloud-native platform. It has the ability 
to subscribe to third-party services and 
real-time data sources that traditional 
core systems cannot effectively support. 

Of the other key annual operating 
highlights, I would like to bring to 
the fore one in particular. To support 
our exciting growth opportunity, in 
September 2018, Majesco, USA, our 
subsidiary announced the appointment 
of Adam Elster as CEO. Adam has a 
strong background in the technology 
industry. He will lead us into the age of 
Digital Insurance 2.0, where we step up 
our product offer and unlock speed to 
value, leveraging a broad ecosystem and 
technology innovations such as cloud 
computing, APIs, microservices, AI/ML 
and new data sources.

In closing
Insurance is not ‘business as usual’. 
That is why Majesco is co-creating the 
future, one that is agile, nimble and 
lightning fast, a future that is in the 
cloud, on demand, hyper-relevant and 
ultra-scalable. We are attuned to our 
clients’ needs and are busy creating a 
brand that is more connected, more 
relevant and pushes traditional frontiers.  

We are known for our strength in 
completeness of vision and capability. 
From P&C, L&A, a full cloud suite and 
a modern, digital platform to a simple 
billing solution, Majesco’s technology has 
the power to meet tomorrow’s demands 
today. Whether an insurer is setting up 
a start-up or greenfield, modernizing

Shaping the future of insurance

Operating Context

Disruptive  
innovations ahead

Digital Insurance 2.0 is allowing insurers to break out of 
traditional boundaries and mix and match technologies and 
concepts that will catapult them into the next phase of growth. 

To thrive, insurers will also need to create the right partnerships 
and convene the largest ecosystem to enrich their offerings 
and services.  This makes it necessary for insurance providers 
to transition progressively to next-generation, data-driven 
design and service platforms, modernising their legacy and 
fully embracing the latest IoT, Big Data, AI/ML, real-time and 
cloud technologies.

Meeting the pace of 
transformative growth
Digital Insurance 2.0 is about more than 
technology. It involves a fundamental 
change to how an organization listens 
to customers, innovates, collaborates 
with partners, delivers new products 
and services, and more. It’s about driving 
change across the entire enterprise — 
from front-end customer channels to 
back-end processes and supply chains. 
Such a change takes place continuously 
in response to market drivers and 
customer expectations. Majesco works 
with digital leaders to help insurers 
evolve at the right pace and scale, into 
agile organizations that meet customer 
needs. We are well positioned to 
capitalize on favorable market trends on 
the back of our scale, cloud technology 
and breadth of solutions.

A holistic solution to achieve business 
goals and expand customer base

Right from the time of its inception in 
2012, Heritage Insurance was quick to 
realize that it required technology that 
could support its appetite for growth 
and efficiency. It required a solution that 
would give them the full spectrum of 
insurance functionality, end to end, yet 
also be deployed on the cloud. 

Heritage and Majesco partnered in 
developing and orchestrating the 
seamless delivery of such a platform, 
through an enterprise agile model 
that encouraged continual dialogue 
and collaboration between IT and 
business, to understand how priorities 
might have shifted, then realign plans 
accordingly. Our solution included 
assigning a full-time Client Partner 
to the account, thereby ensuring that 
risks and expectation mismatches were 
minimized from the start. Our P&C 
Suite deployed on the cloud enabled 

the rapid implementation of a single 
platform to meet the needs of multiple 
lines of business as well as markets. 
Together with Heritage, we were able 
to foster growth for new offerings, 
including mobility, business intelligence 
and analytics, while expanding to new 
geographies, making underwriting 
and claims processing seamless across 
the operations.

Starting with zero policies at the 
beginning of 2012, Heritage had 
~3,32,000 policies and over 250 
employees at the end of first quarter 
2016. In addition, Heritage began 
offering insurance for homeowners 
as well as commercial residential 
property and also commercial general 
liability. Starting with takeout business 
from the Florida state fund (Citizens), 
Heritage has grown to US$ 683 
million in consolidated premiums-in-

force at the end of the first quarter 
2016. Business expanded from US$ 
5.6 million in operating revenues in 
2012 to US$ 394.8 million in 2015, 
reaching profitability within three 
quarters of operation. 

“Majesco allowed us to jumpstart 
Heritage to get out there and we are now 
over US$ 600 million in consolidated 
premium. So with that rapid growth, we 
had to sustain it. The program success 
comes down to basically two things: 
good people and a good technology 
platform. Flexibility was an important 
aspect when we selected Majesco. 
Our window of growth is small and 
if you’re not able to change with the 
market these days and have a good 
partner that’s changing with you, you’re 
going to see some rough waters ahead.”

Officer, Heritage Property & Casualty

A new bar in product development, 
implementation and market launch

We are working with promising 
InsurTech startups and incumbent 
insurer greenfields across P&C and 
L&A segments and supporting their 
growth strategies – launching new 
business models, introducing new 
products and entering new markets, 
through our platforms, to deliver speed 
to value, to implementation, to market 
and to revenue.

Urban Advantage Insurance, based out 
of California, implemented Majesco 
Policy for P&C and Majesco Billing for 
P&C on the Majesco CloudInsurer™ 

platform in 95 days for dwelling 
fire, enabling their rapid launch into 
the personal lines market.  Urban 
Advantage’s mission is to bring 
comprehensive and competitive personal 
lines insurance products to the urban 
communities of California. Following a 
rapid evaluation, we put them on the 
fast track, leveraging our powerful 
platform and extensive out-of-the-box 
capabilities. Additional products are in 
development for a similar rapid rollout.

“From the very beginning we were 
impressed with the depth of business 

and technical capabilities of the Majesco 
platforms as well as their understanding 
of the unique challenges for greenfields 
like ourselves to support a business 
launch. The speed and quality of the 
implementation has surpassed our 
expectations, helping to rapidly launch 
our business and drive speed to value.” –

Big Data

Cloud computing

Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create machines that can 
simulate human intelligence. Machine learning is an application of AI, which focuses on the 
development of computer programs that can access data and use it learn for themselves. 

Application Programming Interface comprises a set of functions and procedures allowing the 
creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, 
or other service.

Big Data refers to extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal 
patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions.

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources 
include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking and software. 
Cloud services enable users to store files and applications on remote servers or ‘the cloud’ and 
then access all the data via the internet. This means the user is not required to be in a specific 
place to gain access to it, allowing the user to work remotely.

Enterprise solutions

Enterprise software, also known as enterprise application software, is a computer software used 
to satisfy the needs of an integrated organization rather than individual users.

the current insurance industry model and maximize its efficiency and efficacy. 

Internet of Things is the practice of embedding internet connectivity into physical devices and 
everyday objects. These devices can communicate and interact with each other over the internet 
and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.

Life and Annuities

Microservices refer to a software development approach that structures an application as a 
collection of smaller, lightweight modular components. The microservice architecture enables the 
continuous delivery/deployment of large, complex applications.

Modules are software components or parts of a program that contains one or more routines. 
One or more independently developed modules make up a program. An enterprise-level software 
application may contain several different modules, and each module serves unique and separate 
business operations.

Open architecture

Open architecture is a kind of computer/software architecture that intends to make adding, 
upgrading, and swapping components easy.

Platform

Platforms refer to a group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications, 
processes or technologies are developed.

I. 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Global economy and Information Technology

The  global  economy  is  forecasted  to  grow  at  3.3%  in 
2019 and 3.4% in 2020, from 3.6% in 2018. Rising policy 
uncertainties,  possibility  of  the  United  Kingdom’s  (UK) 
exit  from  the  European  Union  (EU),  ongoing  US-China 
trade  conflicts,  currency  volatility  and  weakening 
financial  market  sentiments  are  some  of  the  key 
factors  that  contribute  toward  the  overall  slowdown. 
In  particular,  United  States  of  America  economy 
registered a growth of 2.9% in 2018 and is projected to 
moderate to 2.6% in 2019 and 2.2% in 2020, as the fiscal 
stimulus  winds  down.  Growth  is  estimated  to  remain 
weak  in  the  UK,  at  under  1%  in  both  2019  and  2020, 
from  1.4%  in  2018,  mainly  due  to  persisting  ambiguity 
over the country’s separation from the EU. India’s GDP 
grew at 7.0% in FY2018 and is projected to grow at 7.2% 
in  FY2019  and  7.3%  in  FY2020  benefited  from  easing 
financial market tensions, strong inflow of investments, 
increased  business  confidence,  accommodative  fiscal 
policy and a slew of structural reforms.
[Source:  Organisation  for  Economic  Co-operation  and 
Development (OECD)]

The  National  Association  of  Software  and  Services 
Companies  (NASSCOM)  Strategic  Review  2019  report 
estimates  that  the  global  Information  Technology  and 
Business Process Management (IT-BPM) industry grew 
at  4.9%  in  revenue  terms  to  US$  1.4  trillion  in  2018. 
This was mainly driven by increased software-led digital 
penetration  as  well  as  rise  in  demand  for  advanced 
digital technologies such as industrial automation, cloud 
computing, Artificial Learning (AI) and Machine Learning 
(ML),  Internet  of  Things  (IoT),  Augmented  Reality 
(AR)  and  Virtual  Reality  (VR),  blockchain,  business 
intelligence and data analytics. IT services, in particular, 
witnessed  a  growth  of  3.2%,  owing  to  accelerated 
demand  for  application  development  and  management 
services. The Americas, along with Europe-Middle East-
Africa (EMEA), continue to account for the lion’s share 
of the market at ~84%, followed by Asia-Pacific (APAC) 
region, which accounts for the remaining ~16%.

Indian economy and Information Technology
India  is  on  the  fast  track  to  become  a  digital  as  well  as 
cashless  economy.  In  the  last  few  years,  the  country 
has  seen  a  massive  rise  in  digital  services,  prompting 
a  higher  internet  penetration.  Corporates  are  moving 
towards  Industry  4.0,  adopting  new  technologies  to 
stay  competitive  and  relevant  in  this  connected  world. 
The Indian IT sector is scaling up its footprint across the 
value chain, offering more end-to-end solutions.

NASSCOM  estimates 
IT-BPM 
that 
industry  is  growing  at  6.1%  in  revenue  terms,  from 

the  domestic 

US$  167  billion  in  2017-18  to  US$  177  billion  in 
2018-19.  Increased  adoption  of  emerging  technology 
platforms,  analytics,  cloud  and  mobility  has  enabled  IT 
services  to  grow  at  5.2%  in  revenue  terms,  from  US$ 
86  billion  in  2017-18  to  US$  91  billion  in  2018-19. 
Software products grew at 6.8% to US$ 8.2 billion.

Revenue  generated  by  India’s  insurance  industry  is 
expected  to  grow  to  US$  280  billion  by  FY  2020.  The 
outlook  for  the  industry  is  upbeat,  given  the  pace  of 
economic development, favorable demographics, higher 
disposable  incomes  and  rising  awareness  of  the  need 
for  insurance  and  retirement  planning.  In  addition, 
further  boosts  the 
sustained  regulatory  support 
prospects for the overall sector.

II.  STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The  role  that  technology  can  play  in  transforming  a 
business  is  radically  changing  and  customer  centricity 
is at the heart of it all. Globally, the insurance industry 
is  witnessing  a  fundamental  shift  in  how  its  products 
are  designed  and  delivered,  rapidly  expanding  and 
shifting  distribution  strategies  –  all  with  a  single-
minded  focus  on  achieving  greater  efficiency  and 
excellence  in  customer  service.  This  relentless  journey 
requires insurers to transform their legacy applications, 
move  towards  a  data-driven  world,  find  new  ways  of 
accelerating integration and stay ahead of the curve.

Gartner  forecasts  the  global  IT  spending  in  insurance 
to  grow  at  3.7%  in  2019  to  reach  US  $220.7  billion  in 
constant USD. Major trends that pave the way forward 
are  reinsurance  rate  escalation;  wider  adoption  of 
IoT;  digitalization  of  underwriting,  distribution,  data 
analytics and legacy; and transformation in ecosystems

Key takeaways from Novarica’s survey
Novarica  surveyed  92  insurer  CIO  members  of  the 
Novarica Insurance Technology Research Council during 
August and September of 2018. Here are its key findings.

•	 Overall	IT	spending	is	starting	to	shift	from	core	to	
digital,  data  and  security.  While  the  movement  is 
still  small  given  the  high  expenses  associated  with 
core  systems,  overall  budgets  are  starting  to  shift 
away  from  core  applications  and  toward  digital 
engagement,  analytics  and  ever-growing  security 
needs.

•	 Cloud	 deployments	 are	 increasing	 63%	 of	 insurers	
plan to expand their migration of applications to the 
cloud in 2019.

Gartner forecasts the global IT spending in insurance to grow at 3.7% in 2019 to reach US $220.7 
billion in constant USD.

Majesco Annual Report 2018-19Shaping the future of insurance 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
	
	
•	

Life	 and	 Annuity	 (“L&A”)	 insurers	 are	 focused	 on	
digital, optimized workflow and operating efficiency 
as  they  face  changing  customer  expectations  and 
continuing  margin  pressure  in  legacy  blocks  of 
business.

•	 Property	and	Casualty	(“P&C”)	insurers	are	focused	
on  analytics  and  speed  to  market;  the  mounting 
competition in the space and the threat of adverse 
selection  continue  to  drive  a  need  for  better  and 
faster  product  deployment.  More  mid-sized  P&C 
insurers  are  planning  major  up-gradation  to  their 
analytics capabilities in coming years, as compared 
to the years before.

•	 Both	 L&A	 and	 P&C	 sectors	 increasingly	 perceive	
developing  talent  and  improving  IT  operations  as 
key IT challenges.

In  sum,  the  survey  summarizes  that  business  leaders 
are  demanding  additional  capabilities  and 
faster 
speed  to  market.  IT  organizations  are  responding  with  
enhancements  in  existing  systems  as  well  as  legacy 
system replacements. While replacement activity is still 
significant,  it  is  ebbing  slightly,  especially  among  P&C 
insurers, as the investments of the past decade are going 
into  production.  Across  the  board,  there  is  a  gradual 
shift away from investing in core systems toward digital 
and  data/analytics  systems.  With  security  demands 
growing at the same time as business demand for digital 
and  data  capabilities,  insurers  are  not  likely  to  be  able 
to  fulfill  these  concurrent  demands  using  a  traditional 
IT spending framework. This brings a huge opportunity 
for  Majesco’s  core  business,  which  serves  the  P&C  and 
L&A segments.

III.  COMPANY REVIEW

Almost 200 insurance companies, world over, operating 
in  the  segments  of  P&C,  L&A  and  Group/Employee 
Benefits,  are  transforming  their  businesses  with  our 
solutions. Our market leading software, consulting and 
services  uniquely  underpin  the  entire  insurance  value

The  annual  market  opportunity  for  Majesco’s  products 
and services is over US$ 25 billion. Demand is growing, 
since  insurers  of  all  sizes  are  upgrading  their  core 
business  processes  to  become  more  efficient,  control 
costs,  introduce  new  products  to  the  market  and 
enhance  the  way  they  engage  and  interact  with  their 
customers.  Majesco  is  well  positioned  to  capitalize 
the  business  momentum,  leveraging  favorable  market 
trends,  on  account  of  its  scale,  product  reputation, 
success of implementations and breadth of solutions.

III. A.  Core software

North  American  P&C 
insurers’  demand  for 
core  systems  continues  to  expand  given  their 
efforts to modernize and include a broader array 
of  platforms.  Moreover, 
insurance  CIOs  are 
increasingly  attracted  to  these  core  platforms, 
according to a Gartner’s October 2018 report.

In this context, our core software offering enables 
P&C, L&A and Group insurers to unify advanced 
business  and  technological  capabilities  for  all 
lines  of  operations  on  a  single  platform.  Gartner 
further recognized Majesco’s vision and execution 
prowess,  positioning  us  as  a  leader  in  P&C  core 
platforms in North America.

III. B.  Majesco P&C Core Suite

In today’s new market paradigm, insurers clearly 
recognize  that  to  capitalize  digital  opportunities 
they  need  a  modern,  robust  core  platform  that 
enables  speed  to  value  and  is  scalable,  as  well 
as  easy  to  structure  for  seamless  and  frequent 
content and software upgrades.

  Majesco  P&C  Core  Suite  provides  core  system

In  May  2018,  we  launched  the  revolutionary  Majesco 
Digital1st 
Insurance,  a  next-generation  platform 
solution as the foundation of our new business unit. It is a  
microservices-based

VI.  BUSINESS OUTLOOK

In the Digital Insurance 2.0 era, the demand for agility, 
speed  and  innovation  are  at  the  top  of  the  list  of 
business leaders. Delivering speed to value continues 
to remain key differentiator for us. Majesco’s business 
performance in the 2018-19 fiscal reflects the growing 
success  of  our  cloud-based  strategy  and  solutions 
that  help  insurers  adapt  to  this  era.  The  InsurTech 
disruption  is  expected  to  continue  into  2020  as  well. 
Our management continues to remain focused on our 
core  cloud  business  across  key  verticals  –  P&C  and 
L&A.

To that end, our key growth drives are listed here:

a)  Penetrating 

existing 

client 

accounts  with 

opportunities through cross sell and up sell;

b)  Acquisition  of  new  clients  across  core  areas 
namely  enterprise  billing,  commercial  line  policy 
administration,  group  life  system  and  growth  & 
innovation platform;

c)  Partnership with System Integrators (SI’s) i.e. IBM, 

Capgemini, Deloitte.

d)  Mergers and Acquisitions.

  Majesco,  with  its  size,  scale,  domain  expertise 
and  platforms,  is  well  poised  to  capitalize  on  the 
opportunities  to  support  its  new  and  existing 
customers’  transition  to  Digital  Insurance  2.0. 
Our  exceptional  leadership  team  and  dedicated 
workforce  comprise  our  most  important  asset, 
as  we  chart  out  future  growth  strategies.  Going 
forward,  we  will  continue  to  focus  on  enhancing 
our  competences  and  invest  in  our  innovation 
capabilities, to remain at the vanguard of change.

VII. RISK GOVERNANCE

improves 

Risk  resilience  is  at  the  core  of  our  DNA.  Majesco  has 
in  place  a  strong  enterprise  risk  management  function 
which  oversees  our  risk  management  on  an  ongoing 
basis.  The  primary  objective  of  the  Enterprise  Risk 
Management (ERM) function is to provide a framework 
that 
reduces 
operational surprises and thereby, losses; and identifies 
and  manages  cross-enterprise  risks.  The  ERM  policy, 
approved by the Board, lays down the risk management 
process, expected outcomes, governance and reporting 
structure. The policy also stresses on the importance of 
having a strong risk culture for the ERM to succeed.

response  decisions; 

risk 

  We  have  in  place  a  strong  risk  governance  model 
to  ensure  risk  management  principles  are  followed 
throughout  the  organization  and  a  risk  culture  is 
inculcated.  This  ERM  process  and  policy  is  executed 
(RMC) 
through  the  Risk  Management  Committee 
represented  by  the  business  and  functional  heads 
within  Majesco.  The  Board  of  Directors  oversees  the 
risk  management  process  and  together  with  the  Audit 
Committee, reviews the progress of action plans for the 
identified key risks on a quarterly basis.

A  discussion  of  key  risks  and  concerns,  and  measures 
aimed at mitigating them, are discussed below.

Strategic:  We  could  be  susceptible  to  strategy, 
innovation  and  business  or  product  portfolio  related 
risks  if  there  is  any  significant  and  unfavorable  shift  in 
industry  trends,  customer  preferences,  or  returns  on 
R&D investments.

Majesco does have the benefit of being very well entrenched 
with  many  of  its  customers,  involved  in  their  critical 
and  strategic  initiatives.  Therefore,  client  concentration 
related  risks  are  mitigated  to  an  extent.  Our  investments 
in  intellectual  property  creation  are  being  done  in  a 
measured  manner  and  are  focused  more  on  extending 
and  strengthening  existing  offerings,  rather  than  on  new 
business or end-use/application areas.

  Macro-economic: Risks emanating from changes in the 
global  markets,  such  as  the  recent  financial  meltdown, 
regulatory  or  political  changes,  and  alterations  in  the 
competitive  landscape  could  affect  our  operations  and 
outlook.  Any  adverse  movements  in  economic  cycles 
in our target markets and volatility in foreign currency 
exchange  rates  could  have  a  negative  impact  on  our 
performance.

This risk is mitigated to some extent due to our diversified 
presence in multiple geographies, from Europe to Malaysia 
and  India.  We  also  take  necessary  steps  such  as  foreign 
exchange hedging to mitigate exchange rate risks.

Competition:  We  operate  in  a  highly  competitive 
industry and compete with bigger players, in both India 
and  abroad.  Shifts  in  clients’  and  prospective  clients’ 
dispositions could affect our business.

  We 

leverage  strong  domain  expertise,  robust  delivery 
capabilities and significant project experience to attempt to 
stay ahead of competition.

Dependence  on  key  personnel:  We  have  one  of  the 
best  management  teams  in  the  industry  and  this  has 
been a critical enabler of our operational successes. Any 
loss of personnel through attrition or other means may 
have an impact on our performance.

standards  and 

requirements  such  as  General  Data 

Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  M&A:  Well-considered,  properly  evaluated  and 

strategic acquisitions form part of our growth strategy. 

  We endeavor to have an effective succession plan in place to 

There is no guarantee, however that an acquisition will 

mitigate these risks.

Clients  and  accounts:  Our  strategy  is  to  engage  with 
a  few  key  customers  and  build  long-term  relationships 
with them. Any shift in customer preferences, priorities 
and  internal  strategies  can  have  an  adverse  impact  on 
our operations and outlook.

  We  have  enduring  bonds  with  many  of  our  customers, 

mitigating these risks to an extent.

Cyber  security:  This  has  emerged  as  a  high  category 
risk across the IT industry as organizations are moving 
to  newer  areas  of  engagement,  such  as  cloud-driven 
business model, mobile computing, etc.

  We  have 

implemented  best  security  practices  across 
multiple  domains.  We  have  also  obtained  the  necessary 
insurance coverage.

Contractual,  execution  and  delivery:  Our  operating 
performance is subject to risks associated with factors 
that may be beyond our control, such as the termination 
or  modification  of  contracts  and  non-fulfillment  of 
contractual  obligations  by  clients  due  to  their  own 
financial  difficulties  or  changed  priorities  or  other 
reasons.

  We  have  mechanisms  in  place  to  try  and  prevent  such 
situations, along with the necessary insurance coverage.

Data protection and privacy: The leakage and misuse of 
confidential  and  proprietary  information  increases  the 
risk  of  non-compliance  of  privacy  and  data  protection 
laws.

the  SEBI  Listing  Regulations,  the  performance  evaluation 
of the Board as a whole and individual directors was carried 
out  during  the  year  under  review.  As  a  best  practice,  the 
method  of  formal  performance  evaluation  combines 
Internal Assessment and Assessment by external evaluator. 
The  Company  had  adopted  the  same  methodology  for 
carrying out Board Evaluation exercise.

  With  the  help  of  an  external  evaluator,  a  structured 
questionnaire was prepared, after taking into consideration, 
inputs  received  from  the  Directors,  covering  various 
aspects of the Board’s functioning such as Board Structure 
&  Development,  Board  Meetings  &  Materials,  Key 
Board  Responsibilities  &  Reporting,  Board  Management 
Relationship,  Board  Committees’  Effectiveness,  Board 
Mission.

The  outcome  of  the  evaluation  of  the  Board  was 
comprehensively discussed at the meeting of Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee.

Performance Evaluation process for Independent Directors 
was based on the declarations received from Independent 
Directors	that	they	fulfilled	the	criteria	of	independence	as	
required under the Act and SEBI Listing Regulations.

14.  NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION POLICY 

The  Company  has  a  policy  on  remuneration  of  Directors

and  deliver  intellectual  property-driven  solutions  that 
make  a  positive  business  impact  for  its  global  clients.  For 
this,  the  key  success  enabler  and  most  vital  resource  is 
world-class talent. Majesco Group continually undertakes 
measures to attract and retain such high quality talent.

CHORDS:  Teams  to  work  effectively,  often  need  some 
external  stimuli  and  intervention.  Team  building  can  be 
an  effective  tool  to  bring  the  team  members  together, 
learn  and  function  better  to  improve  communication, 
productivity  and  other  desirable  attributes.  HR  team  has 
facilitated  multitude  of  these  sessions  across  different 
projects and Business Unit’s with participants ranging from 
Software Engineer to Senior Vice President.

GeekCafe:  Continuous  learning  plays  an  important  role 
in  improving  productivity.  GeekCafe  is  an  initiative  to 
leverage the expertise within to build a better knowledge 
base  and  help  employees  improve  their  technical  and 
functional capabilities. HR team has been introducing this 
in various Business Unit’s across offshore.

Annual  Awards:  Employees’  recognition  plays  a  key  role 
in keeping morale up and employees engaged. While there 
were quarterly awards and SPOT awards, there was a need 
to  introduce  something  to  bring  in  more  excitement  and 
anticipation.  Keeping  this  into  consideration,  the  ‘Annual 
Awards’ were launched – a whole new categories of awards 
to  recognize  excellence,  innovation  &  team  spirit  along 
with sizeable rewards for the winners.

  Work  ethics  awareness  campaign:  Strong  work  ethics 
speak  volumes  about  an  organization  and  its  culture.  HR 
team took up an awareness campaign to share information 
about desired work ethics at Majesco and its importance.

Policy awareness campaign: Majesco has many employee 
benefit	 policies	 but	 not	 all	 employees	 are	 aware	 of	 them.	
Hence a policy awareness campaign was initiated wherein 
each month, one policy gets highlighted.

You  matter!  Upwards  feedback:  In  line  with  Majesco 
value of ‘Openness & Transparency’ wherein we would like 
to encourage upwards feedback so as to help build a strong 
leadership team, HR team rolled out a new initiative called 
‘You Matter!’

Fun-n-Joy  &  Majesco  United:  In  addition  to  celebrating 
the  traditional  events  and  festivals,  a  host  of  new  events 
was  added  such  as  International  Men’s  Day,  Majesco 
Anniversary  Week,  Red  FM  Clash  of  Corporates,  Back  to 
School, etc.

As  on  March  31,  2019,  Majesco  Group  had  a  total 
headcount of 2,763 (including contactors’ employees). The 
Directors wish to place on record their appreciation for the 
contributions made by employees to the Company during 
the year under review.

The  Human  Resources  team  has  been  on  a  path  of 
continuous progress and improvement,  constantly  on  the 
lookout for creating better employees experience over the 
last year.

Employee Friendly Policies: A	significant	step	taken	during	
the  year  2018-19  towards  better  employee  experience 
was  to  bring  in  changes  to  various  HR  policies.  As  part 
of  continuous 
improvement,  policies  are  periodically 
reviewed to make them more employee friendly.

[Pursuant to Section 204(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 9 of the Companies  
(Appointment and Remuneration Personnel) Rules, 2014]

ANNEXURE – II

To,
The Members,
MAJESCO LIMITED

I have conducted the Secretarial Audit of the compliance of applicable statutory provisions and the adherence to good corporate 
practices	 by	 Majesco	 Limited	 (hereinafter	 called	 “the	 company”)	 for	 the	 financial	 year	 ended	 March	 31,	 2019	 (“Audit	 Period”).	
Secretarial Audit was conducted in a manner that provided me a reasonable basis for evaluating the corporate conducts/statutory 
compliances and expressing my opinion thereon.

Based	on	my	verification	of	the	Company’s	books,	papers,	minute	books,	forms	and	returns	filed	and	other	records	maintained	
by	the	company	as	specified	in	Annexure-I	and	also	the	information	provided	by	the	Company,	its	officers,	agents	and	authorized	
representatives during the conduct of secretarial audit, I hereby report that in my opinion, the company has during the audit period

opinion on these secretarial records based on my audit.

2. 

I have followed the audit practices and process as were appropriate to obtain reasonable assurance about the correctness of

management.	My	examination	was	limited	to	the	verification	of	procedure	on	test	basis.

6.	 The	Secretarial	Audit	report	is	neither	an	assurance	as	to	the	future	viability	of	the	Company	nor	of	the	efficacy	or	effectiveness

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES

Our mission is to inspire our employees to contribute back 
to the community by, sensitizing them to the needs of the 
community and engaging them with the community through 
volunteering.  Apart  from  this,  we  support  credible  non-
profit  organizations  to  scale  and  build  their  capabilities 
through our core skill of Information Technology.

b) 

In  light  of  ghastly  Pulwama  attack  in  February  2019, 
our  employees  donated  towards  “Bharat  Ke  Veer 
Corpus  Fund”,  a  fundraising  initiative  by  the  Ministry 
of Home Affairs, to support grieving families of Central 
Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.

Mastek  Foundation,  our  CSR  wing,  inscribed  this  mission 
on three pillars: Give, Engage and Build.

GIVE
Giving  back  to  the  society  has  been  an  integral  part  of 
Mastek Foundation’s mission since 2002. During financial 
year  2018-19,  non-profit  organizations  received  support 
towards  their  social  development  projects,  through  our 
CSR grants.

Looking beyond CSR spends
Our  employees  also  supported  non-profit  organizations 
through  payroll  giving  and  by  purchasing  merchandise 
and  organic  products,  in  support  of  projects  on  health, 
education,  child  development  and  disaster  relief.  Brief 
summary of various initiatives is provided below:

a)  When  natural  disasters  strike,  we  are  swift  to 
collaborate  with  non-profit  organizations,  to  support 
the  cause.  During  2018  Kerala  Floods,  Mastek 
Foundation  associated  with  GOONJ  and  encouraged 
our  employees  to  donate  towards  disaster  relief 
operations  for  flood  victims,  for  which  employee’s 
participation was enthusiastic.

c)  NGO marketplace is a platform for credible local non-
profit organizations and social enterprises to present 
their  handmade  merchandise  and  organic  products 
to  employees  for  purchase  and  support  towards 
diverse  social  causes.  Our  employees  participated  in 
this initiative, to empower women entrepreneurs and 
specially abled children.

ENGAGE
Employee involvement beyond funds
Rallying around a cause, such as blood donation, increases 
employee  engagement  and  gives  them  the  opportunity 
to  make  a  positive  difference  in  the  community.  158 
Majesco  employees  participated  in  the  blood  donation 
camp  organized  during  DaanUtsav  –  Joy  of  Giving  Week. 
The  blood  donation  camp  was  organized  in  collaboration 
with  Federation  of  Bombay  Blood  Banks  for  Thalassemia 
patients in October 2018.

Mastek  Foundation  conducted  tree  plantation  drive  in 
collaboration  with  HARIYALI,  a  non-profit  organization 
working  towards  environmental  sustainability 
in  July 
2018. 75 saplings of neem, mango and ficus religiosa were 
planted in Tetavali village in Rabale with an aim to increase 
green cover in the area.

belonging to diverse groups participated. Vision for this year’s 
run  was  women  empowerment,  with  a  message  of  ‘for  every 
mile we run, we pledge to empower her’. The run was ranked the 
10th among top marathons by Mumbai Road Runner.

BUILD

engineering  colleges  across  Mumbai  and  other  cities 
made it through to the finale of 4th season of Project Deep 
Blue,  where  they  developed  solutions  with  emphasis  on 
deploying  technology,  for  urban  sanitation  and  public 
health  issues  such  as  open  defecation  free  India,  waste

To,
The Members,
Majesco Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred as “the standalone financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial 
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair 
view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian 
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind-AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state 
of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2019, its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the 
year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies 
Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
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 standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we

financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have 
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor’s Response

The  measurement  and  disclosure  of  discontinuing 
operation

INA AS 105-requires that details of revenue, expenses, 
assets, liabilities and cash flows relating to discontinuing 
operations  have  to  be  correctly  determined  and 
disclosed  separately  with  net  result  of  current  year 
operation being disclosed in the statement of profit and 
loss.

Principal Audit Procedures

 

The decision to dispose off the insurance related software 
business  of  the  Company  to  its  step-down  subsidiary  was 
taken  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and  duly  approved  by 
shareholders  through  a  circular  resolution.  An  agreement 
to  give  effect  for  the  same  from  April  01,  2019  was  also 
signed.

  We verified the terms of the agreement to see whether all 
the assets and liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows 
as contemplated therein have been correctly identified.

 

 

This  verification  included  the  fixed  assets  as  recorded 
in  fixed  assets  register  relating  to  the  business  being 
transferred,  identification  of  debtors,  loans  and  advances 
including deposits as well as other dues directly related to 
the  business  including  employee  dues  and  corresponding 
assets.

Reviewed the disclosures made in the financial statements

Auditor’s Response

The  measurement  and  accounting  for  share-based 
payments

The share awards are measured at the fair value at the 
date of the grant and expensed on a straight-line basis 
over the vesting period. The judgement of the fair value 
and  number  of  awards  expected  to  vest  is  based  on 
management  estimates.  These  estimates  include  the 
volatility of the share price and the expected number of 
options which will vest.

Accuracy of recognition, measurement, presentation 
and  disclosures  of  revenues  and  other  related 
balances in view of adoption of Ind AS 115 “Revenue 
from  Contracts  with  Customers”  (newly  introduced 
revenue accounting standard). This includes accuracy 
of  revenues  and  critical  estimates  of  onerous 
obligations in fixed price contracts.

The  application  of  the  new  revenue  accounting 
standard  involves  certain  key  judgements  relating 
to  identification  of  distinct  performance  obligations, 
determination  of  transaction  price  of  the  identified 
performance  obligations  and  the  appropriateness  of 
the  basis  used  to  measure  revenue  recognized  over  a 
period  in  respect  of  long-term  contracts.  Additionally, 
the  new  revenue  accounting  standard  contains 
disclosures  which  involves  collation  of  information  in 
respect  of  disaggregated  revenue  and  periods  over 
which  the  remaining  performance  obligations  will  be 
satisfied subsequent to the balance sheet date.

The  estimates  of  efforts  to  determine  the  revenue  as 
well  as  to  consider  progress  of  the  contract,  efforts 
incurred  to  date  and  efforts  required  to  complete  the 
contractual obligations are critical.

Principal Audit Procedures

We assessed management’s accounting under the principles of 
IND AS 102-Share Based payments.

We tested the fair value calculations carried out by an external 
expert for all new shares granted during the year and the vesting 
conditions  and  assessed  the  ongoing  fair  value  of  the  existing 
share-based payments. This included:

• 

• 

• 

• 

a review of the share option based on letter of grant;

an assessment of the reasonableness of assumptions around 
the likelihood of meeting vesting conditions;

an assessment of the reasonableness of inputs including the 
volatility with analysis provided to external experts by the 
management;

recalculation  of  the  amounts  recognised  over  the  vesting 
period;

Principal Audit Procedures

We  assessed  the  Company’s  process  to  identify  the  impact 
of  adoption  of  the  new  revenue  accounting  standard.  As  the 
concerned  software  are  yet  to  be  configured  for  this  change, 
some of our work was done offline.

Our  audit  approach  consisted  of  testing  of  the  design  and 
operating effectiveness of the internal controls and substantive 
testing as follows:

• 

• 

Evaluated  the  design  of  internal  controls  relating  to 
implementation of the new revenue accounting standard.

Selected  a  sample  of  continuing  and  new  contracts,  and 
tested  the  operating  effectiveness  of  the  internal  control, 
relating  to 
identification  of  the  distinct  performance 
obligations  and  determination  of  transaction  price.  We 
carried out a combination of procedures involving enquiry 
and observation, review of evidence in respect of operation 
of these controls.

• 

Selected  a  sample  of  continuing  and  new  contracts  and 
performed the following procedures:

 

 

 

Read and analysed the distinct performance obligations 
in  these  contracts.  Identified  by  the  management  to 
confirm if they are fair and reasonable.

Samples  in  respect  of  revenue  recorded  for  time  and 
material contracts were tested using a combination of 
approved time sheets including customer acceptances, 
subsequent invoicing and historical trend of collections 
and disputes.

towards 

In respect of samples relating to fixed price contracts, 
satisfaction  of  performance 
progress 
obligation  used  to  compute  recorded  revenue  was 
verified  using  analytical  procedures  with  actual 
and  estimated  efforts  from  the  time  recording  and 
budgeting systems to evaluate their reasonableness.

 

Selected samples of contracts and performed a review 
of changes in efforts incurred with estimated efforts to 
identify significant variations and verify whether those 
variations  have  been  considered  in  estimating  the 
remaining efforts to complete the contract.

Samples of revenues disaggregated by type and service 
offerings were tested with the performance obligations 
specified in the underlying contracts.

Performed analytical procedures for reasonableness of 
revenues disclosed by type and service offerings.

above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements 
or  our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit,  or  otherwise  appears  to  be  materially  misstated.  We  have  read  and  considered  the 
Management Discussion and Analysis, Board of Directors Report, Corporate Governance Report and have nothing to report.

In respect of other information other than the above which is expected to be made available to us later we shall read and consider 
whether there is anything materially inconsistent therein with reference to the standalone financial statements or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we find any such inconsistency or misstatement, we shall 
inform those charged with governance of the Company and describe actions applicable in the relevant laws and regulations. As 
these are yet to be approved by the Board of Directors, the same have not been read by us.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 with respect 
to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, 
financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with 
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) specified under Section 
133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereafter.

This responsibility also includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act 
for  safeguarding  of  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 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 financial statements, the 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 
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 Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 

76

Majesco Annual Report 2018-19Shaping the future of insurance 
 
 
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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 standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate 
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for 
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 
internal control.

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in 
the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion 
on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such 
controls.

• 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  and  related 
disclosures made by the management.

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  management’s  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and  based  on  the  audit 
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on 
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw 
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, 
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance 
in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare 
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing 
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Majesco Annual Report 2018-19Shaping the future of insuranceAnnexure - B to the Independent Auditors’ Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 
2013
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Majesco Limited as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction 
with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control 
over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the 
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants 
of India (‘ICAI’). 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 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting 
(the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent 
applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by 
the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India.  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 
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 Ind-AS 
and the 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 Ind-AS and the 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, the 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, 2019, based on the internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  criteria  established  by  the  Company  considering  the  essential  components  of  internal  control 
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered 
Accountants of India.

 Summary of Significant Accounting policies

2 
2.1  Basis of preparation and presentation

(a)  Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

The  financial  statements  of  the  Company  have  been 
prepared 
in  accordance  with  Indian  Accounting 
Standards  (Ind  AS)  as  prescribed  under  Section  133 
of  the  Companies  Act  ,2013  read  with  Rule  3  of  the 
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 
and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.

(b)  Basis of measurement

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  a 
historical cost convention on accrual basis, except for 
the following material items that have been measured 
at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS:-

i)  Certain  financial  assets  and  liabilities  measured 
at  fair  value  (refer  accounting  policy  2.16  on 
financial instruments)

ii)  Share based payment transactions

iii)  Derivative financial instruments

iv)  Defined  benefit  and  other  long-term  employee 

benefits

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current 
or non-current as per the Company’s operating cycle 
and  other  criteria  set  out  in  the  Schedule  III  to  the 
Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services 
and  the  time  between  the  rendering  of  service  and 
their  realization  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  the 
Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve 
months  for  the  purpose  of  current  and  noncurrent 
classification of assets and liabilities.

for  the  year  and  disclosures  of  contingent  liabilities 
as  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date.  The  estimates  and 
assumptions  used 
in  the  accompanying  financial 
statements  are  based  upon  the  Management’s 
evaluation  of  the  relevant  facts  and  circumstances 
as  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements.  Actual 
results  could  differ  from  these  estimates.  Estimates 
and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  a 
periodic  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates,  if 
any, are recognised in the year in which the estimates 
are  revised  and  in  any  future  years  if  the  revision 
effects  such  periods.  Also  key  sources  of  estimation 
uncertainty is mentioned below:

i) 

ii) 

lives  of  property,  plant  and 

 Useful 
equipment and intangible assets:
As described in the significant accounting policy, 
the  Company  reviews  the  estimated  useful  lives 
of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible 
assets at the end of each reporting period.

fair  value  measurements  and 

 The 
valuation processes:
Some  of  the  Company’s  assets  and  liabilities  are 
measured  at  fair  value  for  financial  reporting 
purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset 
or liability, the Company uses market-observable 
data  to  the  extent  it  is  available.  Where  level  1 
input  are  not  available,  the  Company  engages 
third  party  valuers,  where  required,  to  perform 
the  valuation.  Information  about  the  valuation 
techniques  and  inputs,  used  in  determining  the 
fair  value  of  various  assets,  liabilities  and  share 
based payments are disclosed in notes to financial 
statements.

iii)  Actuarial valuation:

The determination of Company’s liability towards 
defined  benefit  obligation  to  employees 
is 
made  through  independent  actuarial  valuation 
including  determination  of  amounts  to  be 
recognized in the statement of profit or loss and 
in  other  comprehensive  income.  Such  valuation 
depend  upon  assumptions  determined  after 
taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion 
and  other  relevant  factors  such  as  supply  and 
demand  factors 
in  the  employment  market. 
Information  about  such  valuation  is  provided  in 
notes to financial statements.

(c)  Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with  Ind  AS  requires  the  Management  to  make 
estimate  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported 
amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  as  at  the  Balance 
Sheet date, reported amount of revenue and expenses 

2.2  Property, plant and equipment

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  of 
acquisition less accumulated depreciation and accumulated 
impairment losses, if any. Direct costs are capitalized until 
the  assets  are  ready  for  use  and  include  inward  freight, 
and  expenses  incidental  to  acquisition  and  installation.

Subsequent  expenditures  related  to  an  item  of  Property, 
plant  and  equipment  are  added  to  its  book  value  only  if 
they  increase  the  future  benefits  from  the  existing  asset 
beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Losses  arising  from  the  retirement  of,  and  gains  or  losses 
arising  from  disposal  of  Property,  plant  and  equipment 
measured as the difference between amount realized and 
net carrying value which are carried at cost are recognised 
in the Profit and Loss Statement.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives
Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment is provided 
when  the  assets  are  ready  for  use  on  the  straight  line 
method,  on  a  pro  rata  basis,  over  the  estimated  useful 
lives of assets, in order to reflect the period over which the 
depreciable asset is expected to be used by the Company. 
The  management  estimates  the  useful  lives  for  the  other 
fixed assets as follows.

Property, 
equipment

Buildings

Computers

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.

The leasehold property on which the investment property 
at  Mahape  is  situated  is  included  in  fixed  assets  and 
amortised over the lease period.

Depreciation  on  sale/deduction  from  property  plant  and 
equipment  is  provided  up  to  the  date  preceding  the  date 
of  sale,  deduction  as  the  case  may  be.  Gains  and  losses 
on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with 
carrying amount. These are included in Statement of Profit 
and Loss under ‘Other Income/Other Expenses’.

Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values 
are  reviewed  periodically  at  each  financial  year  end  and 
adjusted prospectively, as change in accounting estimates.

2.3  Investment properties

Investment  properties  are  measured  initially  at  cost, 
including 
initial 
transaction  costs.  Subsequent 
recognition,  investment  properties  are  stated  at  cost  less 
accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated  impairment 
loss, if any.

to 

The  Company  depreciates  building  component  of 
investment  property  over  28  years  from  the  date  of 
original  capitalization.  The  Company,  based  on  technical 
assessment  made  by  technical  expert  and  management 
estimate,  depreciates  the  building  over  estimated  useful 
lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in 
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management 
believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and 
reflect  fair  approximation  of  the  period  over  which  the 
assets are likely to be used.

The leasehold property on which the investment property 
at  Mahape  is  situated  is  included  in  Fixed  Assets  and 
amortised over the lease period.

The  fair  value  of  investment  property  is  disclosed  in 
the  notes.  Fair  values  are  determined  based  on  an 
annual  evaluation  performed  by  an  accredited  external 
independent valuer.

Investment properties are derecognized either when they 
have  been  disposed  of  or  when  they  are  permanently 
withdrawn  from  use  and  no  future  economic  benefit  is 
expected  from  their  disposal.  The  difference  between 
the  net  disposal  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of 
the  asset  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss 
as exceptional items in the period of derecognition, if the 
amount is significant.

2.4  Intangible assets and amortization

Intangible  assets  are  recorded  at  the  consideration  paid 
for  acquisition  of  such  assets  and  are  carried  at  cost  of 
acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment, 
if any.

The  Company  amortized  intangible  assets  over  their 
estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The 
estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Intangible assets

Computer Software

Useful Life

1 - 3 years

Research  costs  are  expensed  as 
incurred.  Software 
product  development  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred 
unless  technical  and  commercial 
feasibility  of  the 
project  is  demonstrated,  future  economic  benefits  are 
probable,  the  Company  has  an  intention  and  ability  to

complete  and  use  or  sell  the  software  and  the  costs  can 
be  measured  reliably.  The  costs  which  can  be  capitalized 
include  the  cost  of  material,  direct  labor,  overhead  costs 
that  are  directly  attributable  to  preparing  the  asset  for 
its  intended  use.  Research  and  development  costs  and 
software  development  costs  incurred  under  contractual 
arrangements  with  customers  are  accounted  as  expenses 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.5  Impairment of non-financial assets

At each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether 
there  is  any  indication  that  an  asset  may  be  impaired.  If 
any  such  indication  exists,  management  estimates  the 
recoverable  amount.  Recoverable  amount  is  higher  of  an 
asset’s  net  selling  price  and  value  in  use.  Value  in  use  is 
the present value of estimated future cash flows expected 
to  arise  from  the  continuing  use  of  an  asset  and  from  its 
disposal at the end of its useful life. If the carrying amount 
of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment 
loss is recognized in the Profit and Loss Statement to the 
extent  carrying  amount  exceeds  recoverable  amount. 
Assessment is also done at each Balance sheet date as to 
whether  there  is  any  indication  that  an  impairment  loss 
recognized for an asset in prior accounting periods may no 
longer exists or may have decreased.

2.6  Leases

As a lessee
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards 
of  ownership  are  not  transferred  to  the  Company  as  a 
lessee  are  classified  as  operating  leases.  Payments  made 
under operating leases (net of any incentives received from 
the lesser) are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss on 
a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the 
payments are structured to increase in line with expected 
general  inflation  to  compensate  for  the  lessor’s  expected 
inflationary cost increases.

Also initial direct cost incurred in operating lease such as 
commissions,  legal  fees  and  internal  costs  is  recognised 
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  where  the 
Company,  as  lessee,  has  substantially  all  the  risks  and 
rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as  finance  leases. 
Finance  leases  are  capitalized  at  the  lease’s  inception 
at  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  property  or,  if  lower,  the 
present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Such 
assets  are  disclosed  as  leased  assets  under  tangible 
in  accordance  with  the 
assets  and  are  depreciated 
Company’s depreciation policy described in note 2.2. The 
corresponding  rental  obligations,  net  of  finance  charges, 
are  included  in  borrowings  or  other  financial  liabilities  as 
appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the 
liability  and  finance  cost.  The  finance  cost  is  charged  to 
the Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease period so 

as  to  produce  a  constant  periodic  rate  of  interest  on  the 
remaining balance of the liability for each period.

2.7  Employee benefits

(a)  Short-term obligations

The  undiscounted  amount  of  short  term  employee 
benefits  expected  to  be  paid  in  exchange  for  the 
services  rendered  by  employees  is  recognized  in  the 
year during which the employee rendered the services. 
These benefits comprise compensated absences such 
as paid annual leave and performance incentives.

(b)   Other long-term employee benefit obligations

(i)  Defined contribution plan

The Company has defined contribution plans for 
post employment benefits in the form of provident 
fund, employees’ state insurance, labour welfare 
fund,  pension  fund  (NPS)  and  superannuation 
fund  in  India  which  are  administered  through 
Government  of  India  and/or  Life  Insurance 
Corporation of India (LIC).

(ii)  Defined benefit plans

Gratuity:  The  Company  has  defined  benefit 
plans  for  post  employment  benefits  in  the  form 
of gratuity for its employees in India. The gratuity 
scheme of the Company is administered through 
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Liability 
for  defined  benefit  plans  is  provided  on  the 
basis  of  actuarial  valuations,  as  at  the  Balance 
Sheet  date,  carried  out  by  an 
independent 
actuary.  The  actuarial  valuation  method  used  by 
independent actuary for measuring the liability is 
the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains 
and  losses  are  recognized  immediately  in  the 
Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) as income or 
expense (net of taxes).

employment 

Compensated  absences:  The  employees  of  the 
Company  are  also  entitled  for  other  long-term 
benefit  in  the  form  of  compensated  absences  as 
per the policy of the Company. Leave encashment 
vests  with  employees  on  an  annual  basis  for 
leave  balance  above  the  upper  limit  as  per  the 
Company’s  policy.  At  the  time  of  retirement, 
death  while  in  employment  or  on  termination 
of

equivalent  to  salary  payable  for  number  of  days 
of accumulated leave balance subject to an upper 
limit  as  per  the  Company’s  policy.  Liability  for 
such benefit is provided on the basis of actuarial 
valuation,  as  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date,  carried 
out  by  an  independent  actuary.  The  actuarial 
valuation  method  used  by  independent  actuary

(c)  Share based payments

Stock  options  granted  to  employees  of  the  Company 
and  its  subsidiaries  (direct  and  step  down)  under 
the  stock  option  scheme  covered  by  Securities  and 
Exchange  Board  of  India  (  Share  based  employee 
benefits)  Regulations,  2014  are  accounted  using  the 
fair value method. The fair value of options granted to 
its employees is recognised in the statement of profit 
and  loss  on  a  graded  vesting  basis  over  the  vesting 
period of the option. The fair value of options granted 
to the employees of its subsidiaries are accounted as 
“Investment in subsidiaries” on a graded vesting basis 
over the vesting period of the option.

2.8  Foreign currency transactions

The financial statements are prepared in Indian Rupees. The 
Indian  Rupee  is  the  functional  currency  of  the  Company. 
Translation  of  foreign  currency  into  Indian  Rupees  has 
been carried out as under :

a)  Both  monetary  and  non-monetary  foreign  currency 
assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities are 
translated at closing exchange rates as at the Balance 
Sheet date.

b) 

Income and expenditure of transactions are translated 
at the rate on the date of transaction.

c)  All  resulting  exchange  differences  on  translation  are 
taken directly to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.9  Fair value measurement

The  Company  measures  financial  instruments,  such  as, 
derivatives at fair value at each Balance Sheet date.

Fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell 
an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly 
the 
transaction  between  market  participants  at 
is 
measurement  date.  The  fair  value  measurement 
based  on  the  presumption  that  the  transaction  to  sell 
the  asset  or  transfer  the  liability  takes  place  either: 
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  In  the  absence  of  a  principal  market,  in  the  most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability accessible 
to the Company.

for  which 

All  assets  and 
is 
measured  or  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  are 
categorized  within  the  fair  value  hierarchy,  described 
as  follows,  based  on  the  lowest  level  input  that  is 
significant  to  the  fair  value  measurement  as  a  whole: 
 Level  1  —  Quoted  (unadjusted)  market  prices  in  active 

fair  value 

markets for identical assets or liabilities

   Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
unobservable 

The management determines the policies and procedures 
for both recurring fair value measurement and disclosures. 
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has 
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of 
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability 
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.10 Borrowing costs

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition, 
construction  or  production  of  an  asset  that  necessarily 
takes  a  substantial  period  of  time  to  get  ready  for  its 
intended  use  or  sale  are  capitalized  as  part  of  the  cost  of 
the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed as finance 
cost.  Borrowing  costs  consist  of  interest  and  other  costs 
that  an  entity  incurs  in  connection  with  the  borrowing  of 
funds.

2.11  Revenue recognition

Revenue from Operations:
The Company derives revenues primarily from Information 
Technology services. Revenue is recognized upon transfer 
of control of promised products or services to customers in 
an amount that reflects the consideration that the company 
expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. 
Arrangements  with  customers  for  software  related 
services  are  either  on  a  time  and  material  or  on  a  fixed-
price or on a fixed-timeframe.

a)  Time and material contracts

Revenue  on 
are 
time-and-material 
recognized  as  the  related  services  are  performed 
and revenue from the end of the last invoicing to the 
reporting date is recognized as unbilled revenue.

contracts 

b)  Fixed-price contracts

Revenue  from  fixed-price,  fixed-timeframe  contracts, 
where  the  performance  obligations  are  satisfied 
over  time  and  where  there  is  no  uncertainty  as  to 
measurement  or  collectability  of  consideration,  is 
recognized  as  per  the  percentage-of-completion 
method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement 
or  ultimate  collectability,  revenue  recognition 
is 
postponed  until  such  uncertainty  is  resolved.  Efforts 
or  costs  expended  are  used  to  measure  progress 
towards  completion  as  there  is  a  direct  relationship 
between input and productivity.

The  Company’s  revenue  is  categorized  broadly  into 
the following types:

i) 

Support and Maintenance Services

ii)  Professional Services

iii)  License Fee

i)  Support and Maintenance Services:

Support  and  maintenance  are  time  bound 
obligations  for  the  Company  to  be  provided 
over  the  term  of  the  contract  and  hence 
recognized ratably over the term of the contract. 
In Contracts for software customization, related 
services and maintenance services, the Company 
has  applied  the  guidance  in  Ind  AS  115.  The 
revenue  from  contracts  with  customer,  by 
applying  the  revenue  recognition  criteria  after 
identifying  distinct  performance  obligation.  The 
arrangements with customers generally meet the 
criteria  for  considering  software  customization, 
development,  support  and  maintenance  and 
services  as  distinct  performance 
related 
obligations and income is assigned accordingly. 

ii)  Professional Services:

The  professional  services  do  not  significantly 
change  the  base  software  or  its  functionalities. 
They  are  considered  as  a  distinct  deliverable 
and recognized as a separate obligation over the 
period  of  delivery  on  a  percentage  completion 
basis.

iii)  License Fee:

The contracted license fee arises from sale of out of 
the box software and is generally accompanied by 
an customization implementation contract. Hence 
income from both are recognized in proportion to 
the  work  completed  for  implementation  as  they 
are considered integral part of sale of the product. 
Where licensing contracts comes with significant 
obligations  beyond  the  implementation  period 
other  than  support  and  maintenance  such  as 
hosting the software and other efforts to be put 
in and costs incurred, revenue from such license 
is recognized over the licensing period for which 
these obligation run.

Revenues  recognized  in  excess  of  invoicing  are 
classified  as  contract  assets  (which  is  classified 
as  unbilled  revenue)  while  invoicing  in  excess 
of  revenues  are  classified  as  contract  liabilities 
(which is classified as unearned revenues).

Contract  modifications  are  accounted  for  when 
additions,  deletions  or  changes  are  approved 

either  to  the  contract  scope  or  contract  price. 
The  accounting  for  modifications  of  contracts 
involves assessing whether the services added to 
an existing contract are distinct and whether the 
pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services 
added that are not distinct are accounted for on 
a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are 
distinct  are  accounted  for  prospectively,  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 not priced at the standalone 
selling price.

The  company  presents  revenues  net  of  indirect 
taxes in the Statement of Profit and loss.

2.12 Other Income

Dividend  income  from  investments  is  recognized  when 
the  right  to  receive  payment  is  established.  Interest 
income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into 
account the amount outstanding and the applicable rate of 
interest. The company also derives Income from letting of 
office premises. Rental income is recognized on a straight 
line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  lease  as  per  the  terms  of 
the  base  contract  or  such  other  systematic  method  as 
considered appropriate. Income from current investments 
are  recognised  periodically  based  on  fare  value  through 
profit  and  loss  (FVTPL)  as  on  reporting  date.  Retained 
gains/losses  are  recognised  on  the  date  on  which  these 
investments are sold.

2.13 Taxes

Tax  expense  for  the  year  comprises  of  current  tax  and 
deferred  tax.  Current  tax  is  measured  by  the  amount  of 
tax  expected  to  be  paid  to  the  taxation  authorities  on 
the  taxable  profits  after  considering  tax  allowances  and 
exemptions and using applicable tax rates and laws.

(a)  Current income tax

Current  income  tax  relating  to  items  recognised 
outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss 
(either  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  in  equity). 
Current  tax  items  are  recognised  in  correlation  to 
the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in 
equity.  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions 
taken  in  the  tax  returns  with  respect  to  situations 
in  which  applicable  tax  regulations  are  subject  to 
interpretation  and  establishes  provisions  where 
appropriate.

(b)   Deferred tax

Deferred  tax  is  recognized  on  timing  differences 
between  the  accounting  income  and  the  taxable 
income for the year and quantified using the tax rates

and  tax  laws  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  as 
on  the  Balance  Sheet  date.  Deferred  tax  assets  are 
recognized and carried forward to the extent that there 
is  reasonable  certainty  that  sufficient  future  taxable 
income  will  be  available  against  which  such  deferred 
tax  assets  can  be  realized.  Deferred  tax  assets  in 
respect of unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward 
losses are recognized only to the extent it is probable 
and supported by convincing evidence that sufficient 
future taxable income will be available against which 
such deferred tax assets can be realized. The carrying 
amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  reviewed  at  each 
balance sheet date for any write down or reversal, as 
considered appropriate.

  Minimum  Alternative  Tax  (MAT)  credit  is  recognized 
as  an  asset  only  when  and  to  the  extent  there  is 
convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal 
income tax during the foreseeable future. Such asset is 
reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying 
amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the 
extent  there  is  no  longer  convincing  evidence  to  the 
effect  that  the  Company  will  pay  normal  income  tax 
during the foreseeable future.

Current  tax  assets  (classified  as  non-current  and 
current  as  stated  in  2.1(b)  above)  and  liabilities 
are  offset  when  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right 
to  set  off  the  recognized  amount  and  there  is  an 
intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis. 
Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when 
there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  set  off  current 
tax assets and liabilities.

2.14 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions  are  recognized  when  the  Company  has  a 
present  legal  obligation  as  a  result  of  past  events,  and 
it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  embodying 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 
Provisions  are  determined  by  the  best  estimate  of  the 
outflow  of  economic  benefits  required  to  settle  the 
obligation at the reporting date. When no reliable estimate 
can be made, a disclosure is made as a contingent liability. 
A  disclosure  for  a  contingent  liability  is  also  made  when 
there  is  a  possible  obligation  or  a  present  obligation  that 
may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. 
Provisions are reviewed regularly and are adjusted where 
necessary  to  reflect  the  current  best  estimates  of  the 
obligation. Where the Company expects a provision to be 
reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate 
asset,  only  when  such  reimbursement  is  virtually  certain. 
If  the  effect  of  the  time  value  of  money  is  material, 
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that 
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due 
to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

92

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible 
obligation arising from past events, the existence of which 
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence 
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within 
the  control  of  the  Company  or  a  present  obligation  that 
arises  from  past  events  where  it  is  either  not  probable 
that  an  outflow  of  resources  will  be  required  to  settle 
or  a  reliable  estimate  of  the  amount  cannot  be  made. 
A contingent liability recognised in a business combination 
is  initially  measured  at  its  fair  value.  Subsequently,  it 
is  measured  at  the  higher  of  the  amount  that  would  be 
recognised  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  for 
provisions  above  or  the  amount  initially  recognised  less, 
when  appropriate,  cumulative  amortisation  recognised  in 
accordance with the requirements for revenue recognition.

2.15 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  at  bank  and  on 
hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of 
three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in value.

For  the  purpose  of  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash 
flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-
term deposits, as defined above.

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby 
profit before tax is adjusted for the effect of transactions 
of  a  non-cash  nature,  any  deferrals  or  accruals  of  past  or 
future  operating  cash  receipts  or  payments  and  items  of 
income  or  expenses  associate  with  investing  or  financing 
cash  flows.  The  cash  flows  from  operating,  investing  and 
financing activities are segregated.

2.16 Financial instruments

All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. 
Transaction  costs  that  are  attributable  to  the  acquisition 
of the financial asset (other than financial assets recorded 
at fair value through profit or loss) are included in the fair 
value of the financial assets. Purchase or sales of financial 
assets  that  require  delivery  of  assets  within  a  time  frame 
established by regulation or convention in the market place 
(regular  way  trade)  are  recognised  on  trade  date.  While, 
loans  and  borrowings  and  payables  are  recognised  net  of 
directly attributable transaction costs.

For  the  purpose  of  subsequent  measurement,  financial 
instruments of the Company are classified in the following 
categories:  non  derivative  financial  assets  comprising 
amortised  cost,  debt  instruments  at  fair  value  through 
other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), equity instruments 
at  FVTOCI  or  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  account 
(FVTPL),  non  derivative  financial  liabilities  at  amortised 
cost or FVTPL and derivative financial instruments (under 
the  category  of  financial  assets  or  financial  liabilities)  at 
FVTOCI.

The  classification  of  financial  instruments  depends  on 
the  objective  of  the  business  model  for  which  it  is  held. 
Management  determines  the  classification  of  its  financial 
instruments at initial recognition.

a)  Non-derivative financial assets

(i)  Financial assets at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if 
both of the following conditions are met:

(a)  the  financial  asset  is  held  within  a  business 
model whose objective is to hold financial assets 
in order to collect contractual cash flows and

(b)  the  contractual  terms  of  the  financial  asset 
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are 
solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  (SPPI) 
on the principal amount outstanding.

They  are  presented  as  current  assets,  except 
for  those  maturing  later  than  12  months  after 
the  reporting  date  which  are  presented  as  non-
current  assets.  Financial  assets  are  measured 
initially  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs  and 
subsequently carried at amortized cost using the 
effective  interest  method,  less  any  impairment 
loss.

Amortised  cost  are  represented  by 
trade 
receivables,  security  deposits,  cash  and  cash 
equivalents,  employee  and  other  advances  and 
eligible current and non-current assets.

(ii)  Debt instruments at FVTOCI

A  debt  instrument  is  measured  at  fair  value 
through  other  comprehensive  income  if  both  of 
the following conditions are met:

(a) the objective of the business model is achieved 
by  both  collecting  contractual  cash  flows  and 
selling financial assets and

(b)  the  asset’s  contractual  cash  flow  represent 
SPPI

instruments 

Debt 
included  within  FVTOCI 
category are measured initially as well as at each 
reporting  period  at  fair  value  plus  transaction 
costs.  Fair  value  movements  are  recognised  in 
other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the 
Company recognises interest income, impairment 
losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain/(loss) 
in statement of profit and loss. On derecognition 
of  the  asset,  cumulative  gain  or  loss  previously 
recognised  in  OCI  is  reclassified  from  equity  to 
profit  and  loss.  Interest  earned  is  recognised 
under the effective interest rate (EIR) model.

(iii)  Equity instruments at FVTOCI

All equity instruments are measured at fair value. 
Equity  instruments  held  for  trading  is  classified 
as  FVTPL.  For  all  other  equity  instruments,  the 
Company  may  make  an  irrevocable  election  to 
present  subsequent  changes  in  the  fair  value  in 
OCI.  The  Company  makes  such  election  on  an 
instrument-by-instrument basis.

If  the  Company  decides  to  classify  an  equity 
instrument  as  at  FVTOCI,  then  all  fair  value 
changes  on  the  instrument,  excluding  dividend 
are recognised in OCI which is not subsequently 
recycled to statement of profit and loss.

(iv)  Financial assets at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for financial assets. 
Any  financial  asset  which  does  not  meet  the 
criteria  for  categorization  as  at  amortised 
cost  or  as  FVTOCI, 
is  classified  as  FVTPL. 
In  addition  the  Company  may  elect  to  designate 
the  financial  asset,  which  otherwise  meets 
amortised  cost  or  FVTOCI  criteria,  as  FVTPL  if 
doing  so  eliminates  or  significantly  reduces  a 
measurement  or  recognition  inconsistency.  The 
Company  has  not  designated  any  financial  asset 
as  FVTPL.  Financial  assets  included  within  the 
FVTPL category are measured at fair values with 
all changes in the statement of profit and loss.

b)  Non-derivative financial liabilities

(i)  Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities at amortised cost represented 
by  borrowings,  trade  and  other  payables  are 
initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently 
carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective 
interest rate method.

(ii)  Financial 

at 

liabilities 

FVTPL 
Financial  liabilities  at  FVTPL  represented  by 
contingent  consideration  are  measured  at  fair 
value with all changes recognised in the statement 
of profit and loss.

(c) 

Investment in subsidiaries
Investment  in  subsidiaries  are  carried  at  cost  plus 
additional fair value of ESOP granted to employees of 
subsidiaries net of impairment, if any.

2.17 Contributed equity

Equity shares are classified as equity share capital.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares are shown in other equity under securities premium 
as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

2.18 Earnings per share

Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  are  calculated  by  dividing 
the  net  loss  /  profit  after  tax  for  the  year  attributable  to 
equity  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of 
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings 
per  share  is  computed  by  adjusting  the  number  of  shares 
used  for  basic  EPS  with  the  weighted  average  number 
of  shares  that  could  have  been  issued  on  the  conversion 
of  all  dilutive  potential  equity  shares.  Dilutive  potential 
equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of 
the year, unless they have been issued at a later date. The 
diluted potential equity shares have been adjusted for the 
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at 
fair value i.e. average market value of outstanding shares.

The  number  of  shares  and  potentially  dilutive  shares  are 
adjusted for share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate. 
In  calculating  diluted  earnings  per  share,  the  effects  of 
anti dilutive potential equity shares are ignored. Potential 
equity  shares  are  anti-dilutive  when  their  conversion 
to  equity  shares  would  increase  earnings  per  share  or 
decrease loss per share.

2.19 Assets classified as held for sale

The  Company  classifies  non-current  assets  (or  disposal 
group)  as  held  for  sale  if  their  carrying  amounts  will  be 
recovered  principally  through  a  sale  rather  than  through 
continuing use.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met 
only  when  the  assets  (or  disposal  group)  is  available  for 
immediate  sale  in  its  present  condition,  subject  only  to 
terms that are usual and customary for sale of such assets 
(or  disposal  group),  its  sale  is  highly  probable;  and  it  will 
genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale 
of the asset (or disposal group) to be highly probable when:

  The appropriate level of management is committed to a 

plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

  An  active  programmed  to  locate  a  buyer  and  complete 

the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

  The asset (or disposal group) is being actively marketed 
for  sale  at  a  price  that  is  reasonable  in  relation  to  its 
current fair value,

  The  sale  is  expected  to  qualify  for  recognition  as 
a  completed  sale  within  one  year  from  the  date  of 
classification , and

  Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is 
unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made 
or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current  assets  (or  disposal  group)  held  for  sale  are 
measured  at  the  lower  of  their  carrying  amount  and  the 
fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities (or disposal 
group) classified as held for sale are presented separately 
in the Balance Sheet.

94

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once 
classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.

2.20Rounding off amounts

All  amounts  disclosed  in  financial  statements  and  notes 
have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as permitted in 
Schedule III of the Act, unless otherwise stated.

3 (a) Ind AS 115

Effective  from  April  1,  2018,  the  Company  has  adopted 
Ind  AS  115  “Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers” 
using  the  cumulative  effect  method,  applied  to  contracts 
that were not completed as at April 1, 2018. In accordance 
with the cumulative effect method, the comparatives have 
not  been  retrospectively  adjusted.  The  policies  in  effect 
for revenue recognition prior to April 1, 2018 is disclosed 
in  Note  2.11  under  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting 
Policies  in  the  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not have 
any  material  impact  on  the  financial  statements  for  the 
year ended March 31, 2019.

3 (b) Recent accounting pronouncements

On 30 March, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) 
has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) 
Amendment Rules, 2019 containing Ind AS 116 Leases that 
will supersede Ind AS 17 Leases.

The new standard will come into force from 1 April, 2019. 
The  Company  is  evaluating  the  requirements  of  the  new 
standard and its effect on the financial statements.

Ind  AS  116  requires  lessees  to  recognize  assets  and 
liabilities  arising  from  all  leases  (except  for  short-term 
leases and leases of low-value assets) in the statement of 
financial  position.  The  company  will  have  to  capitalise  all 
assets  currently  held  under  operating  leases.  Operating 
lease expenses will be replaced by a depreciation expense 
on Right of Use assets recognised and an interest expense 
as the implicit interest rate in the lease liabilities unwinds.

for 

two 

The  standard  allows 
transition  methods: 
retrospectively  for  all  periods  presented,  or  using  a 
modified  retrospective  approach  where  the  cumulative 
effect  of  adoption  is  recognised  at  the  date  of  initial 
application.  The  Company  is  evaluating  which  of  these 
transition methods will be adopted.

Also, the notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) 
Amendment Rules, 2019 amended changes to other Ind AS 
standards: Ind AS 103 Business Combinations and Ind AS 
111 Joint Operations, Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, Ind 
AS 12 Income Taxes, Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits and Ind 
AS  23  Borrowing  Costs.  These  amendments  shall  come 
into effect from 1 April 2019. The Company  is evaluating 
the impact of these amendments.

38  Employee Stock Option Scheme

(a)  Nature and extent of employee stock option scheme that existed during the year:

Plan I
The Company introduced the employee stock option scheme as a part of the scheme of arrangement, approved by the Hon’ble 
High Court of Gujarat and Hon’ble High Court of Bombay. On the date of demerger all employees of Mastek who were having 
options of Mastek Limited were granted equal number of options of the Company.

The Company introduced the scheme for granting up to 8,000,000 stock options to the employees, each option representing 
one equity share of the Company. The exercise price is to be determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
(“Committee”) and such price may be the face value of the share from time to time or may be the market price or any other 
price as may be decided by the Committee and will be governed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Share 
based employee benefits) Regulations, 2014. The first vesting of the stock options shall happen only on completion of one year 
from the date of grant and the options are exercisable within seven years from the date of vesting.

The  Company  has  granted  employee  stock  options  to  its  employees  and  also  to  employees  of  its  direct  and  indirect 
subsidiaries. As per the demerger scheme of Mastek employees of Mastek Limited who were having options of Mastek on 
date of demerger were granted equal number of options of the Company. These options are mostly granted at the market 
price on the date of grant. As per the SEBI guidelines, the excess of market price of the underlying equity shares as of the 
date  of  the  grant  of  the  options  over  the  exercise  price  of  the  option  were  recognised  and  amortised  on  a  straight  line 
basis  over  the  vesting  period  in  the  previous  GAAP.  On  the  date  of  transition  to  Ind-AS  i.e.  1  April,2016,  the  Company 
carried out a fair valuation of all the unvested options as on that date and debited Retained earnings by INR 214 lakhs and 
INR  30  lakhs  on  account  of  options  relating  to  employees  of  Mastek  Limited  and  the  Company  respectively  with  a  credit 
to  the  employee  stock  option  outstanding  account  considering  the  same  as  equivalent  to  cost  of  employee  stock  option 
granted  by  Mastek  Limited  to  employees  of  Majesco  Group  as  per  the  said  scheme  of  demerger  since  the  management 
of  the  Company  does  not  expect  a  separate  recovery  of  the  same  amount  from  Mastek  Limited  or  recovery  from  the 
Company by Mastek Limited. Accordingly no further adjustments for fair value have been made in respect of these options. 
The fair value of the unvested options relating to the employees of its subsidiaries and step down subsidiaries amounting to 
INR 677 lakhs was debited to Investment in subsidiary account with the corresponding credit to the employee stock options 
outstanding account as part of the Ind AS transition adjustment.

For the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 the fair value of the options both vested and unvested options granted 
to the employees of the Company was determined and the incremental amount of INR 203 lakhs and INR 144 lakhs respectively 
were charged to the employee benefit expense with a corresponding credit to Employee stock options outstanding account.

For the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 similar amount relating to employees of its subsidiaries and step 
down subsidiaries amounting to INR 329 lakhs and INR 450 lakhs respectively was debited to the Investment in subsidiary 
account with the corresponding credit to Employee stock options outstanding account.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments in time deposits, 
restricted  cash,  accounts  receivables,  unbilled  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  and  accrued  liabilities.  The  carrying 
amount of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments in time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivables, unbilled 
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of the reporting date approximates their fair market value due 
to the relatively short period of time of original maturity tenure of these instruments. Classification of the financial assets and 
financial liabilities is gievn below:

44  Fair value hierarchy

The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

• 

• 

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).

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 3 fair value measurements.

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

45  Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company is exposed to various financial risks. These risks are categorized into market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 
The Company’s risk management is coordinated by the Board of Directors and focuses on securing long term and short term 
cash flows. The Company does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.

(A)  Market risk
  Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market 
prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates as described more fully 
below. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest rate risk
Interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will  fluctuate  because  of 
changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily 
to the Company’s Investments and bank balances.

Interest rate sensitivity
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash and cash equivalents, other bank 
balances and investments. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate exposure. Our cash and 
cash equivalents, other bank balances and investments as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were INR 12,747 lakhs 
and  INR  33,894  lakhs  respectively.  We  invest  primarily  in  highly  liquid,  money  market  funds  and  bank  fixed  deposits. 
Because  of  the  short-term  nature  of  the  majority  of  the  interest-bearing  securities  we  hold,  we  believe  that  a  10% 
fluctuation in the interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents and investments would not have a material 
effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

(B)  Credit risk

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents, time deposits, and accounts receivables. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, 
with banks having good reputation, good past track record, and who meet the minimum threshold requirements under 
the counterparty risk assessment process, and reviews their credit-worthiness on a periodic basis. Accounts receivables 
of  the  Company  are  typically  unsecured.  As  there  is  no  independent  credit  rating  of  the  customer  available  with  the 
Company, Management reviews the creditworthiness of customers based on their financial position, past experience and 
other factors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of their customers’ financial condition and monitor the 
creditworthiness of their customers to which they grant credit terms in the normal course of business.

(C)  Liquidity risk

The  Company’s  current  assets  aggregate  to  INR  13,876  lakhs  (March  31,  2018  -  INR  35,091  lakhs)  including  current 
investments, cash and cash equivalents and bank balances against aggregate current liability of INR 1072 lakhs (March 
31, 2018 - INR 993 lakhs) and non current liabilities INR 526 lakhs(March 31, 2018 - INR 439 lakhs) on the reporting date. 
While the Company’s total equity stands at INR 54,057 lakhs (March 31, 2018 - INR 51,990 lakhs), it has no borrowings. 
Hence liquidity risk or risk that the Company may not be able to settle or meet its obligations as they become due does 
not exist.

46  Capital management

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other 
equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximize 
the shareholder value and to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the financial year ended March 31, 2019, the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 15, 2019 have recommended 
a  dividend  of  30%  (INR  1.5/-  per  equity  share  of  INR  5/-  each),  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  shareholders  in  the  ensuing 
Annual General Meeting of the company.

During  the  previous  year,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  in  their  meeting  held  on  August  3,  2017  approved  the 
payment  of  Special  Dividend  @  INR  1/-  per  share  (face  value  INR  5/-  per  share),  to  eligible  shareholders.  Accordingly  the 
Company has paid INR 235 on account of Special Dividend and INR 48 being tax thereon, during the previous financial year. 
This was confirmed by the shareholders of the company at the Annual General Meeting of the company held on August 03, 
2018.

The Company monitors gearing ratio i.e. total debt in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e. equity and debt. Total 
debt comprises of non-current borrowings. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the 
light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To,
The Members,
Majesco Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Majesco Limited (“the Company” or “the Holding 
Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “the Group”), which comprise 
the consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2019, and the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other 
Comprehensive Income), the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 
for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting 
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated 
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and 
give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read 
with  the  Companies  (Indian  Accounting  Standards)  Rules,  2015,  as  amended,  (“Ind-AS”)  and  other  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31,2019, its consolidated profit, 
consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year then 
ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion
We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Standards  on  Auditing  (SAs)  specified  under  section  143(10)  of  the 
Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for 
the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance 
with  the  ethical  requirements  that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  India  in  terms 
of  the  Code  of  Ethics  issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India  (ICAI)  and  the  relevant  provisions  of  the 
Companies Act, 2013, 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 we have obtained is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated 
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have 
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor’s Response

Accuracy  of  recognition,  measurement,  presentation 
and disclosures of revenues and other related balances 
in  view  of  adoption  of  Ind  AS  115  “Revenue  from 
Contracts with Customers” (newly introduced revenue 
accounting  standard).  This 
includes  accuracy  of 
revenues and critical estimates of onerous obligations 
in fixed price contracts.

The application of the new revenue accounting standard 
involves certain key judgements relating to identification 
of  distinct  performance  obligations,  determination  of 
transaction price of the identified performance obligations 
and  the  appropriateness  of  the  basis  used  to  measure 
revenue recognized over a period in respect of long-term 
contracts.  Additionally,  the  new  revenue  accounting 
standard  contains  disclosures  which  involves  collation 
of  information  in  respect  of  disaggregated  revenue  and 
periods over which the remaining performance obligations 
will be satisfied subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Principal Audit Procedures

•   We  assessed  the  Group’s  process  to  identify  the  impact  of 
adoption  of  the  new  revenue  accounting  standard.  As  the 
concerned software are yet to be configured for this change, 
some of our work was done offline. 

•   Our  audit  approach  consisted  of  testing  of  the  design  and 
operating effectiveness of the internal controls and substantive 
testing as follows:

• 

• 

Evaluated  the  design  of 
implementation of the new revenue accounting standard.

internal  controls  relating  to 

Selected a sample of continuing and new contracts, and tested 
the  operating  effectiveness  of  the  internal  control,  relating 
to  identification  of  the  distinct  performance  obligations 
and  determination  of  transaction  price.  We  carried  out  a 
combination of procedures involving enquiry and observation, 
review of evidence in respect of operation of these controls.

 Samples  in  respect  of  revenue  recorded  for  time  and 
material contracts were tested using a combination of 
approved time sheets including customer acceptances, 
subsequent invoicing and historical trend of collections 
and disputes.

 Considered the terms of the contracts to determine the 
transaction  price  including  any  variable  consideration

and  to  test  the  basis  of  estimation/  judgement  of  the 
variable consideration.

 Selected samples of contracts and performed a review 
of changes in efforts incurred with estimated efforts to 
identify significant variations and verify whether those 
variations  have  been  considered  in  estimating  the 
remaining efforts to complete the contract.

 Samples of revenues disaggregated by type and service 
offerings were tested with the performance obligations 
specified in the underlying contracts.

 Performed analytical procedures for reasonableness of 
revenues disclosed by type and service offerings

Principal Audit Procedures

We assessed management’s accounting under the principles of 
IND AS 102-Share Based payments. 

We tested the fair value calculations for all new shares granted 
during  the  year  and  the  vesting  conditions  and  assessed  the 
ongoing  fair  value  of  the  existing  share-based  payments.  This 
included:

• 

• 

• 

• 

a review of the share option based on letter of grant; 

an assessment of the reasonableness of assumptions around 
the likelihood of meeting vesting conditions; 

an assessment of the reasonableness of inputs including the 
volatility with analysis provided to  external experts by the 
management;

recalculation  of  the  amounts  recognised  over  the  vesting 
period.

The  measurement  and  accounting  for  share-based 
payments

The share awards are measured at the fair value at the 
date of the grant and expensed on a straight-line basis 
over the vesting period. The judgement of the fair value 
and  number  of  awards  expected  to  vest  is  based  on 
management  estimates.  These  estimates  include  the 
volatility of the share price and the expected number of 
options which will vest

Fair Value assessment of Trade Receivables

Principal Audit Procedures

Trade receivables comprise a significant portion of the 
liquid assets of the Group  and serve  as  security  for a 
majority of the Group short-term debt.

We  assessed  the  validity  of  material 
long  outstanding 
receivables  by  obtaining  third-party  confirmations  of  amounts 
owing.  We  also  considered  payments  received  subsequent  to 
year-end, past payment history and unusual patterns to identify 
potentially impaired balances.

The  assessment  of  the  appropriateness  of  the  allowance  for 
trade receivables comprised a variety of audit procedures across 
the Group including:

•  Challenging the appropriateness and reasonableness of the 
assumptions applied in the management assessment of the 
receivables;

•  Consideration  of  the  creditworthiness  of  significant  trade 
receivables  over  180  days  with  external  confirmations 
wherever possible;

•  Consideration  and  concurrence  of  the  agreed  payment 

terms;

•  Verification of receipts from trade receivables subsequent 

to year-end;

•  Considered  the  completeness  and  accuracy  of  the 

disclosures.

We were satisfied that the Group’s trade receivables are fairly 
valued and adequately provided against where doubt exists. We 
further considered whether the provisions were misstated and 
concluded  that  they  were  appropriate  in  all  material  respects, 
and  disclosures  related  to  trade  receivable  in  the  consolidated 
financial statements are appropriate..

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the  Other  Information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
Management  Discussion  and  Analysis,  Board  of  Directors’  report  including  Annexures  to  the  Board  of  Directors’  report, 
Corporate Governance Report, and other information published along with but does not include the consolidated financial 
statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  does  not  cover  the  other  information  and  we  do  not  and  will  not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we have obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s 
report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We 
have  read  and  considered  the  Management  Discussion  and  Analysis,  Board  of  Directors  Report,  Corporate  Governance 
Report and have nothing to report.

In respect of other information other than the above which is expected to be made available to us later we shall read and 
consider whether there is anything materially inconsistent therein with reference to the consolidated financial statements 
or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we find any such inconsistency 
or  misstatement,  we  shall  inform  those  charged  with  governance  of  the  Company  and  describe  actions  applicable  in  the 
relevant laws and regulations. As these are yet to be approved by the Board of Directors, the same have not been read by us.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The  Holding  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  these  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 the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified

Majesco Annual Report 2018-19Shaping the future of insuranceThe respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for the maintenance of adequate 
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act 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  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 consolidated 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 presentation of 
the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  respective  Board  of  Directors  of  the  companies  included  in  the 
Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial 
reporting process of the Group.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  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 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud 
or  error,  design  and  perform  audit  procedures  responsive  to  those  risks,  and  obtain  audit  evidence  that  is  sufficient 
and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from 
fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional  omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are 
appropriate  in  the  circumstances.  Under  section  143(3)(i)  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013,  we  are  also  responsible  for 
expressing  our  opinion  on  whether  the  Company  has  adequate  internal  financial  controls  system  in  place  and  the 
operating effectiveness of such controls.

• 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related 
disclosures made by the management.

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit 
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant 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  draw  attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  or,  if  such 
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date 
of 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  consolidated  financial  statements,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation.

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  financial  information  of  the  entities  or  business  activities 
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision  and  performance  of  the  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  which  we  are  the  independent 
auditors.  For  the  other  entities  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  which  have  been  audited  by  other 
auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried 
out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

125

Company overviewStatutory reportS  Financial statementsWe communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the 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.

From  the  matters  communicated  with  those  charged  with  governance,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance  in  the  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  current  period  and  are  therefore  the  key  audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the 
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of 
such communication.

Other Matters
a)  We have audited the standalone financial statements of the Holding company and its step-down subsidiary incorporated 
in  India  prepared  under  Ind  AS  in  accordance  with  applicable  Standards  on  Auditing,  which  have  been  considered  in

b)  We have audited the special purpose financial statements of four foreign subsidiaries prepared under Ind AS for the

lakhs, net profit of INR 943 lakhs and net cash flows (increase of INR 14,390 lakhs) for the year ended on that date (all

reference to the consolidated financial statements of all the subsidiaries prepared by the management under US-GAAP 
on  which  reliance  is  placed  by  us  for  the  audit  of  the  special  purpose  financial  statements.  We  are  not  the  statutory

INR  787  lakhs  for  the  year  ended  on  that  date  (all  the  above  figures  before  elimination  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements), which have been considered in these consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have 
been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on the 
consolidated  financial  statements  in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the  amounts  and  disclosures  included  in  respect  of  these 
subsidiaries (not incorporated in India) is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

Annexure-A to the Independent Auditors’ Report

Report  on  the  Internal  Financial  Controls  under  Clause  (i)  of  Sub-section  3  of  Section  143  of  the 
Companies Act, 2013  referred to in Para 9 of our report for the year ended March 31, 2019.

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 
2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Majesco Limited and one of its subsidiary company 
which is a company incorporated in India, as of that date

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiary company, which is a company incorporated in India, 
are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting 
criteria  established  by  the  Company  considering  the  essential  components  of  internal  control  stated  in  the  Guidance  Note  on 
Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  over  Financial  Reporting  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 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting 
(the “Guidance Note”) issued by ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute 
of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 
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 including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with the 
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. A company’s internal financial controls 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, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind As) specified under 
Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and that receipts 
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and

(3)  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the 

company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

128

Majesco Annual Report 2018-19Shaping the future of insurance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, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Holding Company and its step-
down subsidiary company incorporated in India, have, 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, 2019, 
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of 
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

2  Summary of Significant Accounting policies
2.1  Basis of preparation and presentation

(a)  Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

These consolidated financial statements are prepared 
in  accordance  with  Indian  Accounting  Standards 
(Ind  AS),  under  the  historical  cost  convention  on  the 
accrual  basis  except  for  certain  financial  instruments 
which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the 
Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) (to the extent notified) 
and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange 
Board  of  India  (SEBI).  The  Ind  AS  are  prescribed

historical cost convention on accrual basis, except for 
the following material items that have been measured 
at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS:-

i)  Certain  financial  assets  and  liabilities  measured 
at  fair  value  (refer  accounting  policy  2.15  on 
financial instruments)

ii)  Share based payment transactions

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current 
or  non-current  as  per  the  Group’s  operating  cycle 
and  other  criteria  set  out  in  the  Schedule  III  to  the 
Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services 
and  the  time  between  the  rendering  of  service  and 
their  realization  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  the 
Group  has  ascertained  its  operating  cycle  as  twelve 
months  for  the  purpose  of  current  and  non-current 
classification of assets and liabilities.

(c)  Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with  Ind  AS  requires  the  management  to  make 
estimate  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported 
amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  as  at  the  Balance 
Sheet date, reported amount of revenue and expenses 
for  the  year  and  disclosures  of  contingent  liabilities 
as  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date.  The  estimates  and 
assumptions  used 
in  the  accompanying  financial 
statements  are  based  upon  the  management’s 
evaluation  of  the  relevant  facts  and  circumstances 
as  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements.  Actual 
results  could  differ  from  these  estimates.  Estimates 
and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  a 
periodic  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates,  if 
any, are recognised in the year in which the estimates 
are  revised  and  in  any  future  years  if  the  revision 
effects  such  periods.  Also  key  sources  of  estimation 
uncertainty is mentioned below:

i) 

ii) 

lives  of  property,  plant  and 

 Useful 
equipment and intangible assets:
As described in the significant accounting policy, 
the  Group  reviews  the  estimated  useful  lives  of 
property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible 
assets at the end of each reporting period.

fair  value  measurements  and 

 The 
valuation processes:
Some  of  the  Group’s  assets  and  liabilities  are 
measured  at  fair  value  for  financial  reporting 
purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset 
or  liability,  the  Group  uses  market-observable 
data  to  the  extent  it  is  available.  Where  level  1 
input  are  not  available,  the  Company  engages 
third  party  valuers,  where  required,  to  perform 
the  valuation.  Information  about  the  valuation 
techniques  and  inputs,  used  in  determining  the 
fair  value  of  various  assets,  liabilities  and  share 
based payments are disclosed in notes to financial 
statements.

iii)  Actuarial valuation:

The  determination  of  Group’s  liability  towards 
defined  benefit  obligation  to  employees 
is 
made  through  independent  actuarial  valuation 

including  determination  of  amounts  to  be 
recognized in the statement of profit or loss and 
in  other  comprehensive  income.  Such  valuation 
depend  upon  assumptions  determined  after 
taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion 
and  other  relevant  factors  such  as  supply  and 
demand  factors 
in  the  employment  market. 
Information  about  such  valuation  is  provided  in 
notes to financial statements.

2.2  Property, plant and equipment

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost 
of  acquisition 
less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
accumulated  impairment  losses,  if  any.  Direct  costs  are 
capitalized  until  the  assets  are  ready  for  use  and  include 
inward freight, and expenses incidental to acquisition and 
installation.  Subsequent  expenditures  related  to  an  item 
of  property,plant  and  equipment  are  added  to  its  book 
value  only  if  they  increase  the  future  benefits  from  the 
existing  asset  beyond  its  previously  assessed  standard  of 
performance.

Losses  arising  from  the  retirement  of,  and  gains  or  losses 
arising  from  disposal  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
measured as the difference between amount realized and 
net carrying value which are carried at cost are recognised 
in the statement of profit and loss.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided 
when  the  assets  are  ready  for  use  on  the  straight  line 
method,  on  a  pro  rata  basis,  over  the  estimated  useful 
lives of assets, in order to reflect the period over which the 
depreciable asset is expected to be used by the Group. The 
management estimates the useful lives for the other fixed 
assets as follows.

Property, plant and equipment

Useful Life

Buildings

Computers

Plant and equipment

Furniture and fixtures

Vehicles

Office equipment

Leasehold land

Leasehold improvements

28 years

2 years

2 - 5 years

5 years

5 years

2 - 5 years

Lease  term  ranging  from 
95-99 years

5 years or the primary period 
of lease whichever is less

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  on  sale/deduction  from  property  plant  and 
equipment  is  provided  up  to  the  date  preceding  the  date 
of  sale,  deduction  as  the  case  may  be.  Gains  and  losses 
on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with 
carrying amount. These are included in Statement of Profit 
and Loss under ‘Other Income/Other Expenses’.

Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values 
are  reviewed  periodically  at  each  financial  year  end  and 
adjusted prospectively, as change in accounting estimates.

2.3  Investment properties

Investment  properties  are  measured  initially  at  cost, 
including 
initial 
transaction  costs.  Subsequent 
recognition,  investment  properties  are  stated  at  cost  less 
accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated  impairment 
loss, if any.

to 

The Group depreciates building component of investment 
property  over  28  years  from  the  date  of  original 
capitalization.  The  Group,  based  on  technical  assessment 
made  by  technical  expert  and  management  estimate, 
depreciates the building over estimated useful lives which 
are  different  from  the  useful  life  prescribed  in  Schedule 
II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes 
that  these  estimated  useful  lives  are  realistic  and  reflect 
fair approximation of the period over which the assets are 
likely to be used.

The  fair  value  of  investment  property  is  disclosed  in 
the  notes.  Fair  values  are  determined  based  on  an 
annual  evaluation  performed  by  an  accredited  external 
independent valuer.

Investment properties are derecognized either when they 
have  been  disposed  of  or  when  they  are  permanently 
withdrawn  from  use  and  no  future  economic  benefit  is 
expected  from  their  disposal.  The  difference  between 
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the 
asset  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  as 
exceptional  items  in  the  period  of  derecognition.  If  the 
amount is significant.

2.4  Intangible assets and amortization

Intangible  assets  are  recorded  at  the  consideration  paid 
for  acquisition  of  such  assets  and  are  carried  at  cost  of 
acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment, 
if any.

The Group amortized intangible assets over their estimated 
useful lives using the straight line method. The estimated 
useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Intangible assets

Computer Software

Technology

Trade Name

Customer relationships

Useful Life

1 - 3 years

5 years

9.7 years

15 years

Research  costs  are  expensed  as 
incurred.  Software 
product  development  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred 
unless  technical  and  commercial 
feasibility  of  the 
project  is  demonstrated,  future  economic  benefits  are 
probable,  the  Company  has  an  intention  and  ability  to 
complete  and  use  or  sell  the  software  and  the  costs  can 
be  measured  reliably.  The  costs  which  can  be  capitalized 
include  the  cost  of  material,  direct  labor,  overhead  costs 
that  are  directly  attributable  to  preparing  the  asset  for 
its  intended  use.  Research  and  development  costs  and 
software  development  costs  incurred  under  contractual 
arrangements  with  customers  are  accounted  as  expenses 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.5  Foreign Currency Transactions

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in 
Indian Rupees. The Indian Rupee is the functional currency 
of  Majesco  Limited.  However,  U.S.  Dollar,  Pound  Sterling, 
Malaysian Ringgits, Thai Baht, Singapore Dollar, Canadian 
Dollar  and  Euro  are  the  functional  currencies  for  its 
subsidiaries  located  in  United  States  of  America,  United 
Kingdom,  Malaysia,  Thailand,  Singapore,Canada  and 
Ireland  respectively.  Translation  of  foreign  currency  into 
Indian Rupees has been carried out as under :

a)  Both  monetary  and  non-monetary  foreign  currency 
assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities are 
translated at closing exchange rates as at the balance 
sheet date.

b) 

Income  and  expenditure  of  foreign  operations  are 
translated at annual average closing exchange rates.

c)  All  resulting  exchange  differences  on  translation  are 
taken to reserves under Foreign Currency Translation 
Reserve  through  other  comprehensive  income  until 
the disposal of the investment in subsidiaries.

2.6  Fair value measurement

The  Company  measures  financial  instruments,  such  as, 
derivatives at fair value at each Balance Sheet date.

Fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date. 
The  fair  value  measurement  is  based  on  the  presumption 
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability 
takes place either:

l 

l 

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

In  the  absence  of  a  principal  market,  in  the  most 
advantageous  market  for  the  asset  or 
liability 
accessible to the Company.

All  assets  and  liabilities  for  which  fair  value  is  measured 
or  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  are  categorized 
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based 
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole:

l 

l 

l 

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level  2  —  Valuation  techniques  for  which  the 
lowest  level  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value 
measurement is directly or indirectly observable

Level  3  —  Valuation  techniques  for  which  the 
lowest  level  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value 
measurement is unobservable 

The management determines the policies and procedures 
for both recurring fair value measurement and disclosures. 
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has 
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of 
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability 
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.7  Revenue recognition

Revenue from Operations:

The  Group  derives  revenues  primarily  from  Information 
Technology  services  and  offers  core  software  solutions 
for property and casualty (P&C) and life and annuity (L&A) 
providers, allowing them to manage policy administration, 
claim management and billing functions.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised 
products  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that 
reflects the consideration that the group expects to receive 
in exchange for those products or services.

Arrangements  with  customers  for  software  related 
services  are  either  on  a  time  and  material  or  on  a  fixed-
price or on a fixed-timeframe.

a)  Time and material contracts

Revenue  on

time-and-material 
recognized  as  the  related  services  are  performed 
and revenue from the end of the last invoicing to the 
reporting date is recognized as unbilled revenue.

b)    Fixed-price contracts

Revenue  from  fixed-price,  fixed-timeframe  contracts, 
where  the  performance  obligations  are  satisfied 
over  time  and  where  there  is  no  uncertainty  as  to 
measurement  or  collectability  of  consideration,  is 
recognized  as  per  the  percentage-of-completion 
method. When there is uncertainty as to measurement 
or  ultimate  collectability,  revenue  recognition 
is 
postponed  until  such  uncertainty  is  resolved.  Efforts 
or  costs  expended  are  used  to  measure  progress 
towards  completion  as  there  is  a  direct  relationship 
between input and productivity.

The  Groups  revenue  is  categorized  broadly  into  the 
following types:

i) 

Professional Services

ii)  Cloud  Services/  Usage  based  Subscription 

Services

iii)  Support and Maintenance Services

iv)  License Fee

i)  Professional Services:

The  professional  services  do  not  significantly 
change  the  base  software  or  its  functionalities. 
They  are  considered  as  a  distinct  deliverable 
and recognized as a separate obligation over the 
period  of  delivery  on  a  percentage  completion 
basis.

ii) 

 Cloud Services/ Usage based Subscription 
Services:
This  is  a  service  obligation  of  the  Group  over  a 
period  of  time  and  is  paid  by  the  customer  on 
a  recurring  monthly  fee  based  on  the  service 
being  provided.  Given  that  the  obligations  to 
this  contract  are  met  on  an  ongoing  basis  over 
the period of the contract, the Group recognizes 
the  revenue  on  a  monthly  basis  based  on  the 
subscriptions  earned  for  the  month  in  which 
the  services  are  provided  on  the  minimum 
subscription applicable based on the usage of the 
customer  during  that  month.  In  addition  to  this 
the Group estimates any variations to this at the 
end of quarter and true up for the variations when 
they happen.

iii)  Support and Maintenance:

Support  and  maintenance  are  time  bound 
obligations  for  the  Group  to  be  provided  over 
the  term  of  the  contract  and  hence  recognized 
ratably over the term of the contract.

In respect of contracts for software customization, 
related  services  and  maintenance  services, 
the  Group  has  applied  the  guidance  in  Ind  AS 
115.  Revenue  from  contracts  with  customer,  by 
applying  the  revenue  recognition  criteria  after 
identifying  distinct  performance  obligation.  The 
arrangements with customers generally meet the 
criteria  for  considering  software  customization, 
development,  support  and  maintenance  and 
related 
services  as  distinct  performance 
obligations and income is assigned accordingly.

iv)  License Fee:

a)  For  all  Licenses  sold  or  delivered  prior  to 
April 01, 2018, Group will continue to fulfill 
its  obligation  towards  the  non-distinct 
support  and  License  arrangements  and  will 
continue  to  recognize  revenue  over  the 
period of the contract. At the end of the term, 
if  the  customer  wishes  to  renew  or  in  case 
the customer contracts Group to upgrade to 
the current out of the box version, Group will 
consider all its obligations under the previous 
contract as completed and will recognize the 
going forward License revenue at a point of 
time  in  line  with  the  revenue  recognition  of 
all current contracts.

b)  For all Licenses handed over to the customer 
in  2018-19,  sold  as  out  of  the  box  product, 
of  the  License  Fees,  based  on  the  Groups 
estimates  a  percentage  is  allocable  towards 
the ongoing support to be provided towards 
maintenance of the base product. Rest of the 
contracted  license  fee  and  implementation 
fee  is  recognized  in  proportion  to  the  work 
completed 
implementation  as  they 
are  considered  integral  part  of  sale  of  the 
product.

for 

c) 

d) 

the  software 

In  contracts  wherein 
is 
considered  to  be  handed  over  to  the 
customer on acceptance of the base product, 
the  License  fees  will  be  recognized  for  the 
entire  initial  term  at  a  point  of  time  after 
transfer  to  the  customer  has  occurred, 
regardless of the payment schedule.

In contracts wherein complex change or roll 
out of the software which require extensive 
augmentative  integration  services  to  the 
software  to  make  it  ready  for  the  customer 
for them to derive any value, the License and 
the augmentative integration services will be 
treated as combined performance obligation, 
and 
license  revenue  will  be  recognized 
together  with  such  professional  services 
revenue over the implementation period on 
a percentage completion method regardless 
of the payment schedule.

e)  For all variable License Fees contracts, where 
the  License  Fees  are  structured  based  on  a 
usage model, the revenue recognition follows 
the same principle that the Group is adopting 
for usage-based subscription model included 
under the relevant section in this policy.

Revenues  in  excess  of  invoicing  are  classified  as  contract 
assets  (which  is  classified  as  unbilled  revenue)  while 
invoicing  in  excess  of  revenues  are  classified  as  contract 
liabilities (which is classified as unearned revenues).

Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, 
deletions  or  changes  are  approved  either  to  the  contract 
scope  or  contract  price.  The  accounting  for  modifications 
of contracts involves assessing whether the services added 
to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing 
is  at  the  standalone  selling  price.  Services  added  that 
are  not  distinct  are  accounted  for  on  a  cumulative  catch 
up  basis,  while  those  that  are  distinct  are  accounted  for 
prospectively, 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 not priced at the standalone selling price.

The  Group  presents  revenues  net  of  indirect  taxes  in  the 
Statement of Profit and loss.

Unbilled  revenue  included  in 
‘Other  current  financial 
in  respect  of  services 
assets’,  represents  amounts 
performed  in  accordance  with  contract  terms,  not  yet 
billed  to  customers  at  the  year  end.  Unearned  revenue 
included  in  ‘Other  current  liabilities’  represents  amounts 
received/billed in excess of the value of work performed in 
accordance with the terms of the contracts with customers.

2.8  Other Income

Dividend  income  from  investments  is  recognized  when 
the  right  to  receive  payment  is  established.  Interest 
income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into 
account  the  amount  outstanding  and  the  applicable  rate 
of  interest.  Rental  income  is  recognized  on  a  straight  line 
basis over the term of the lease as per the terms of the base 
contract  or  such  other  systematic  method  as  considered 
appropriate. 
investments  are 
recognised periodically based on fair value through profit 
and loss (FVTPL) as on reporting date. Retained gain / loss 
are recognised on the date on which these investments are 
sold.

from  current 

Income 

2.9  Taxes

Tax  expense  for  the  year  comprises  of  current  tax  and 
deferred  tax.  Current  tax  is  measured  by  the  amount  of 
tax  expected  to  be  paid  to  the  taxation  authorities  on 
the  taxable  profits  after  considering  tax  allowances  and 
exemptions and using applicable tax rates and laws.

(a)  Current income tax

Current  income  tax  relating  to  items  recognised 
outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss 
(either  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  in  equity). 
Current  tax  items  are  recognised  in  correlation  to

the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in 
equity.  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions 
taken  in  the  tax  returns  with  respect  to  situations 
in  which  applicable  tax  regulations  are  subject  to 
interpretation  and  establishes  provisions  where 
appropriate.

(b)  Deferred tax

Deferred  tax  is  recognized  on  timing  differences 
between  the  accounting  income  and  the  taxable 
income  for  the  year  and  quantified  using  the  tax 
rates  and  tax  laws  enacted  or  substantively  enacted 
as  on  the  Balance  Sheet  date.  Deferred  tax  assets 
are recognized and carried forward to the extent it is 
probable  and  supported  by  convincing  evidence  that 
there  is  reasonable  certainty  that  sufficient  future 
taxable  income  will  be  available  against  which  such 
deferred  tax  assets  can  be  realized.  Deferred  tax 
assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation or carry 
forward losses are recognized only to the extent there 
is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence 
that sufficient future taxable income will be available 
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. 
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed 
at  each  balance  sheet  date  for  any  write  down  or 
reversal, as considered appropriate.

  Minimum  Alternative  Tax  (MAT)  credit  is  recognized 
as  an  asset  only  when  and  to  the  extent  there  is 
convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal 
income tax during the foreseeable future. Such asset is 
reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying 
amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the 
extent  there  is  no  longer  convincing  evidence  to  the 
effect  that  the  Company  will  pay  normal  income  tax 
during the foreseeable future.

Current  tax  assets  (classified  as  non-current  and 
current  as  stated  in  2.1(b)  above)  and  liabilities  are 
offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set 
off the recognized amount and there is an intention to 
settle the asset and liability on a net basis.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when 
there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  set  off  current 
tax assets and liabilities.

2.10 Borrowing costs

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition, 
construction  or  production  of  an  asset  that  necessarily 
takes  a  substantial  period  of  time  to  get  ready  for  its 
intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the 
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period 
in  which  they  occur.  Borrowing  costs  consist  of  interest 

140

and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the 
borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange 
differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the 
borrowing costs.

2.11  Leases

As a lessee
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards 
of  ownership  are  not  transferred  to  the  Company  as  a 
lessee  are  classified  as  operating  leases.  Payments  made 
under operating leases (net of any incentives received from 
the lesser) are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss on 
a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the 
payments are structured to increase in line with expected 
general  inflation  to  compensate  for  the  lessor’s  expected 
inflationary cost increases.

Also initial direct cost incurred in operating lease such as 
commissions,  legal  fees  and  internal  costs  is  recognised 
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group, 
as  lessee,  has  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership  are  classified  as  finance  leases.  Finance  leases 
are capitalized at the lease’s inception at the fair value of 
the  leased  property  or,  if  lower,  the  present  value  of  the 
minimum  lease  payments.  Such  assets  are  disclosed  as 
leased assets under tangible assets and are depreciated in 
accordance with the Group’s depreciation policy described 
in  note  2.2.  The  corresponding  rental  obligations,  net 
of  finance  charges,  are  included  in  borrowings  or  other 
financial  liabilities  as  appropriate.  Each  lease  payment 
is  allocated  between  the  liability  and  finance  cost.  The 
finance cost is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss 
over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for 
each period.

2.12 Impairment of non-financial assets

At  each  Balance  Sheet  date,  the  Group  assesses  whether 
there  is  any  indication  that  an  asset  may  be  impaired.  If 
any  such  indication  exists,  management  estimates  the 
recoverable  amount.  Recoverable  amount  is  higher  of  an 
asset’s net selling price and value in use. Value in use is the 
present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  expected  to 
arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal 
at the end of the its useful life. If the carrying amount of the 
asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss 
is recognized in the Profit and Loss Statement to the extent 
carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. Assessment 
is also done at each Balance sheet date as to whether there 
is any indication that an impairment loss recognized for an 
asset  in  prior  accounting  periods  may  no  longer  exists  or 
may have decreased.

Goodwill  is  tested  for  impairment  annually  and  when 
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  may  be 
impaired.

Impairment  is  determined  for  goodwill  by  assessing  the 
recoverable  amount  of  each  Cash  Generating  Unit  (or 
group  of  CGUs)  to  which  the  goodwill  relates.  When  the 
recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  is  less  than  its  carrying 
amount,  an  impairment  loss  is  recognised.  Impairment 
losses  relating  to  goodwill  cannot  be  reversed  in  future 
periods.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for 
impairment annually at the CGU level, as appropriate, and 
when  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  may 
be impaired.

2.13 Provision and contingent liabilities

Provisions  are  recognized  when  the  Group  has  a  present 
legal obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable 
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits 
will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation.  Provisions 
are  determined  by  the  best  estimate  of  the  outflow  of 
economic benefits required to settle the obligation at the 
reporting date. When no reliable estimate can be made, a 
disclosure is made as a contingent liability. A disclosure for 
a contingent liability is also made when there is a possible 
obligation  or  a  present  obligation  that  may,  but  probably 
will  not,  require  an  outflow  of  resources.  Provisions  are 
reviewed  regularly  and  are  adjusted  where  necessary  to 
reflect the current best estimates of the obligation. Where 
the  Company  expects  a  provision  to  be  reimbursed,  the 
reimbursement  is  recognized  as  a  separate  asset,  only 
when such reimbursement is virtually certain.

If  the  effect  of  the  time  value  of  money  is  material, 
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that 
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due 
to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible 
obligation arising from past events, the existence of which 
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence 
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within 
the control of the Group or a present obligation that arises 
from  past  events  where  it  is  either  not  probable  that  an 
outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable 
estimate of the amount cannot be made.

A contingent liability recognised in a business combination 
is  initially  measured  at  its  fair  value.  Subsequently,  it 
is  measured  at  the  higher  of  the  amount  that  would  be 
recognised  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  for 
provisions  above  or  the  amount  initially  recognised  less, 
when  appropriate,  cumulative  amortisation  recognised  in 
accordance with the requirements for revenue recognition.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  at  bank  and  on 
hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of 
three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in value.

For  the  purpose  of  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash 
flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-
term deposits, as defined above.

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby 
profit before tax is adjusted for the effect of transactions 
of  a  non-cash  nature,  any  deferrals  or  accruals  of  past  or 
future  operating  cash  receipts  or  payments  and  items  of 
income  or  expenses  associate  with  investing  or  financing 
cash  flows.  The  cash  flows  from  operating,  investing  and 
financing activities are segregated.

2.15 Financial instruments

All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. 
Transaction  costs  that  are  attributable  to  the  acquisition 
of the financial asset (other than financial assets recorded 
at fair value through profit or loss) are included in the fair 
value of the financial assets. Purchase or sales of financial 
assets  that  require  delivery  of  assets  within  a  time  frame 
established by regulation or convention in the market place 
(regular  way  trade)  are  recognised  on  trade  date.  While, 
loans  and  borrowings  and  payables  are  recognised  net  of 
directly attributable transaction costs.

For  the  purpose  of  subsequent  measurement,  financial 
instruments of the Company are classified in the following 
categories:  non  derivative  financial  assets  comprising 
amortised  cost,  debt  instruments  at  fair  value  through 
other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), equity instruments 
at  FVTOCI  or  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  account 
(FVTPL),  non  derivative  financial  liabilities  at  amortised 
cost or FVTPL and derivative financial instruments (under 
the  category  of  financial  assets  or  financial  liabilities)  at 
FVTOCI

The  classification  of  financial  instruments  depends  on 
the  objective  of  the  business  model  for  which  it  is  held. 
Management  determines  the  classification  of  its  financial 
instruments at initial recognition.

a)  Non-derivative financial assets

(i)  Financial assets at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if 
both of the following conditions are met:

(a)  the  financial  asset  is  held  within  a  business 
model  whose  objective  is  to  hold  financial 
assets  in  order  to  collect  contractual  cash 
flows and

141

(b)  the  contractual  terms  of  the  financial  asset 
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that 
are solely payments of principal and interest 
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

They are presented as current assets, except 
for  those  maturing  later  than  12  months 
after the reporting date which are presented 
as  non-current  assets.  Financial  assets 
are  measured  initially  at  fair  value  plus 
transaction  costs  and  subsequently  carried 
at amortized cost using the effective interest 
method, less any impairment loss.

Amortised  cost  are  represented  by  trade 
receivables, security deposits, cash and cash 
equivalents,  employee  and  other  advances 
and eligible current and non-current assets.

(ii)  Debt instruments at FVTOCI

A  debt  instrument  is  measured  at  fair  value 
through  other  comprehensive  income  if  both  of 
the following conditions are met:

(a)  the  objective  of  the  business  model 

is 
achieved by both collecting contractual cash 
flows and selling financial assets and

(b)  the  asset’s  contractual  cash  flow  represent 

SPPI

instruments 

Debt 
included  within  FVTOCI 
category are measured initially as well as at each 
reporting  period  at  fair  value  plus  transaction 
costs.  Fair  value  movements  are  recognised  in 
other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the 
Company recognises interest income, impairment 
losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain/(loss) 
in statement of profit and loss. On derecognition 
of  the  asset,  cumulative  gain  or  loss  previously 
recognised  in  OCI  is  reclassified  from  equity  to 
profit  and  loss.  Interest  earned  is  recognised 
under the effective interest rate (EIR) model.

(iii)  Equity instruments at FVTOCI

All equity instruments are measured at fair value. 
Equity  instruments  held  for  trading  is  classified 
as  FVTPL.  For  all  other  equity  instruments,  the 
Company  may  make  an  irrevocable  election  to 
present  subsequent  changes  in  the  fair  value  in 
OCI.  The  Company  makes  such  election  on  an 
instrument-by-instrument basis.

If  the  Company  decides  to  classify  an  equity 
instrument  as  at  FVTOCI,  then  all  fair  value 
changes  on  the  instrument,  excluding  dividend 
are recognised in OCI which is not subsequently 
recycled to statement of profit and loss.

(iv)  Financial assets at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for financial assets. 
Any  financial  asset  which  does  not  meet  the 
criteria for categorization as at amortised cost or 
as FVTOCI, is classified as FVTPL.

In  addition  the  Company  may  elect  to  designate 
the  financial  asset,  which  otherwise  meets 
amortised  cost  or  FVTOCI  criteria,  as  FVTPL  if 
doing  so  eliminates  or  significantly  reduces  a 
measurement  or  recognition  inconsistency.  The 
Company  has  not  designated  any  financial  asset 
as  FVTPL.  Financial  assets  included  within  the 
FVTPL category are measured at fair values with 
all changes in the statement of profit and loss.

b)  Non-derivative financial liabilities

(i)  Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities at amortised cost represented 
by  borrowings,  trade  and  other  payables  are 
initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently 
carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective 
interest rate method.

(ii)  Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial  liabilities  at  FVTPL  represented  by 
contingent  consideration  are  measured  at  fair 
value with all changes recognised in the statement 
of profit and loss.

c)  Derivative financial instruments

The  Company  holds  derivative  financial  instruments 
such  as  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  to 
mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates 
on foreign currency assets or liabilities and forecasted 
cash  flows  denominated  in  foreign  currencies.  The 
counterparty  for  these  contracts  is  generally  a  bank. 
Derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value. 
Attributable  transaction  costs  are  recognized  in  the 
statement of profit and loss.

(i)  Cash  flow  hedges:  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of 
the  derivative  hedging  instrument  designated 
as  a  cash  flow  hedge  are  recognized  in  other 
comprehensive  income  and  presented  within 
equity  in  the  cash  flow  hedging  reserve  to  the 
extent that the hedge is effective.

To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes 
in  fair  value  are  recognized  in  the  statement 
of  profit  and  loss.  If  the  hedging  instrument  no 
longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting, 
expires  or  is  sold,  terminated  or  exercised,  then 
hedge  accounting  is  discontinued  prospectively. 
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized

in  the  cash  flow  hedging  reserve  is  transferred 
to  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  upon  the 
occurrence of the related forecasted transaction.

(ii)  Others: Changes in fair value of foreign currency 
derivative  instruments  not  designated  as  cash 
flow  hedges  and  the  ineffective  portion  of  cash 
flow  hedges  are  recognized  in  the  statement 
of  profit  and  loss  and  reported  within  foreign 
exchange gain / (loss).

2.16 Employee benefits

(a)  Short-term obligations

The  undiscounted  amount  of  short  term  employee 
benefits  expected  to  be  paid  in  exchange  for  the 
services  rendered  by  employees  is  recognized  in  the 
year during which the employee rendered the services. 
These benefits comprise compensated absences such 
as paid annual leave and performance incentives.

(b)  Other long-term employee benefit obligations

(i)  Defined contribution plan

The Group has defined contribution plans for post 
employment  benefits  in  the  form  of  provident 
fund, employees’ state insurance, labour welfare 
fund,  pension  fund  (NPS)  and  superannuation 
fund  in  India  which  are  administered  through 
Government  of  India  and/or  Life  Insurance 
Corporation of India (LIC). The Group also makes 
contributions 
towards  defined  contribution 
plans in respect of its subsidiaries, as applicable. 
Under the defined contribution plans, the Group 
has  no  further  obligation  beyond  making  the 
contributions. Such contributions are charged to 
the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

The  Group  also  make  payments  to  defined 
contribution  plans  established  and  maintained 
in  accordance  with  the  local  laws  of  the  United 
States,  Canada  and  United  Kingdom  and  of  the 
jurisdictions in which the subsidiaries are located. 
The  monthly  contributions  to  all  of  these  plans 
are  charged  to  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss 
in  the  year  they  are  incurred  and  there  are  no 
further  obligations  under  these  plans  beyond 
those monthly contributions.

(ii)  Defined benefit plans

Gratuity: The Group has defined benefit plans for 
post employment benefits in the form of gratuity 
for its employees in India. The gratuity scheme of 
the Group is administered through Life Insurance 
Corporation  of  India  (LIC).  Liability  for  defined 
benefit plans is provided on the basis of actuarial 
valuations,  as  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date,  carried 

out  by  an  independent  actuary.  The  actuarial 
valuation method used by independent actuary for

(rounded off to lakhs).

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  included  in  net  profit  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  and 
Loss.  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. 
Transaction  gains  or  losses  realized  upon  settlement  of 
foreign  currency  transactions  are  included  in  determining 
net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. 
Revenue,  expense  and  cash-flow  items  denominated  in 
foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional 
currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of 
the  transaction.  The  translation  of  financial  statements 
of  the  foreign  subsidiaries  to  the  presentation  currency  is 
performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rate 
in effect at the Balance Sheet date and for revenue, expense 
and cash-flow items using the average exchange rate for the 
respective periods. The gains or losses resulting from such 
translation  are  included  in  currency  translation  reserves 
under  other  components  of  equity.  When  a  subsidiary  is 
disposed of, in full, the relevant amount is transferred to net 
profit in the 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.  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.

2.18  Business  combination,  goodwill  and  intangible 

assets
Business  combinations  are  accounted  for  using  the 
purchase  (acquisition)  method.  The  cost  of  an  acquisition 
is  measured  as  the  fair  value  of  the  assets  given,  equity 
instruments  issued  and  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed  at 
the date of exchange. The cost of acquisition 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.

144

Transaction  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  a  business 
combination are expensed as incurred.

a)  Goodwill on consolidation:

Goodwill arising on consolidation is stated at cost less 
impairment  losses,  were  applicable.  On  disposal  of  a 
subsidiary, attributable amount of goodwill is included 
in  the  determination  of  the  profit  or  loss  recognised 
in  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss.  On  acquisition 
of  an  associate  or  joint  venture,  the  goodwill/capital 
reserve arising from such acquisitions included in the 
carrying amount of the investment and also disclosed 
separately.  Impairment  loss,  if  any,  to  the  extent  the 
carrying  amount  exceed  the  recoverable  amount  is 
charged  off  to  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  as  it 
arises  and  is  not  reversed.  For  impairment  testing, 
goodwill  is  allocated  to  Cash  Generating  Unit  (CGU) 
or  group  of  CGUs  to  which  it  related,  which  is  not 
larger than an operating segment, and is monitored for 
internal management purposes.

b) 

Intangible assets
Ind AS 103 requires the identifiable intangible assets 
and contingent consideration to be fair valued in order 
to  ascertain  the  net  fair  value  of  identifiable  assets, 
liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  of  the  acquire. 
Significant  estimates  are  required  to  be  made  in 
determining the value of contingent consideration and 
intangible assets. Theses valuations are conducted by 
independent valuation experts.

2.19 Contributed equity

Equity  shares  are  classified  as  equity  share  capital. 
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of 
tax, from the proceeds.

2.20 Earnings per share

Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  are  calculated  by  dividing 
the  net  loss  /  profit  after  tax  for  the  year  attributable  to 
equity  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of 
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings 
per  share  is  computed  by  adjusting  the  number  of  shares 
used  for  basic  EPS  with  the  weighted  average  number 
of  shares  that  could  have  been  issued  on  the  conversion 
of  all  dilutive  potential  equity  shares.  Dilutive  potential 
equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of 
the year, unless they have been issued at a later date. The 
diluted potential equity shares have been adjusted for the 
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at 
fair value i.e. average market value of outstanding shares.

The  number  of  shares  and  potentially  dilutive  shares  are 
adjusted for share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.

In  calculating  diluted  earnings  per  share,  the  effects  of 
anti dilutive potential equity shares are ignored. Potential 
equity  shares  are  anti-dilutive  when  their  conversion 
to  equity  shares  would  increase  earnings  per  share  or 
decrease loss per share.

2.21 Rounding off amounts

All  amounts  disclosed  in  financial  statements  and  notes 
have  been  rounded  off  to  the  nearest  lakhs  as  per 
requirement  of  Schedule  III  of  the  Act,  unless  otherwise 
stated.

3  Basis of consolidation

(CFS) 

- 
The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
consolidates  the  financial  statements  of  the  Company 
and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by 
the  Group.  The  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses  of 
subsidiaries are aggregated and consolidated, line by line, 
from  the  date  control  is  acquired  by  any  Group  entity  to 
the  date  it  ceases.  Profit  or  loss  and  each  component  of 
other comprehensive income are attributed to the Group 
as owners and to the non-controlling interests. The Group 
presents  the  non-controlling  interests  in  the  Balance 
Sheet separately from the equity of the Group as owners. 
The excess of the Group’s investment in a subsidiary over 
its  share  in  the  net  worth  of  such  subsidiary  on  the  date 
control is acquired is treated as goodwill while a deficit is 
considered as a capital reserve in the CFS. On disposal of 
the subsidiary, attributable amount on goodwill is included 
in the determination of the profit or loss and recognised in 
the Statement of Profit and Loss. Impairment loss, if any, to 
the  extent  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  recoverable 
amount is charged off to the Statement of Profit and Loss 
as  it  arises  and  is  not  reversed.  For  impairment  testing, 
goodwill  is  allocated  to  Cash  Generating  Unit  (CGU)  or 
a  group  of  CGUs  to  which  it  relates,  which  is  not  larger 
than  an  operating  segment,  and  is  monitored  for  internal 
management  purposes.  The  proportionate  share  of 
the  Group  in  the  net  profits/losses  as  also  in  the  other 
comprehensive  income  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of 
Profit and Loss and the carrying value of the investment is 
adjusted by a like amount (referred as ‘equity method’). All 
intragroup  assets  and  liabilities,  equity,  income,  expenses 
and cash flows relating to transactions between members 
of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Operating cycle
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or 
non-current as per the Group’s normal operating cycle and 
other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies 
Act,  2013  and  Ind  AS  1  -  Presentation  of  Financial 

Statements based on the nature of products and the time 
between the acquisition of assets for processing and their 
realisation in cash and cash equivalents.

4(a) Ind AS 115

Effective  from  April  1,  2018,  the  Company  has  adopted 
Ind  AS  115  “Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers” 
using  the  cumulative  effect  method,  applied  to  contracts 
that were not completed as at April 1, 2018. In accordance 
with the cumulative effect method, the comparatives have 
not  been  retrospectively  adjusted.  The  policies  in  effect 
for revenue recognition prior to April 1, 2018 is disclosed 
in  Note  2.11  under  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting 
Policies  in  the  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not have 
any  material  impact  on  the  financial  statements  for  the 
year ended March 31, 2019.

4(b) Recent accounting pronouncements

On 30 March, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) 
has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) 
Amendment Rules, 2019 containing Ind AS 116 Leases that 
will supersede Ind AS 17 Leases.

The new standard will come into force from 1 April, 2019. 
The  Company  is  evaluating  the  requirements  of  the  new 
standard and its effect on the financial statements.

Ind  AS  116  requires  lessees  to  recognize  assets  and 
liabilities  arising  from  all  leases  (except  for  short-term 
leases and leases of low-value assets) in the statement of 
financial  position.  The  company  will  have  to  capitalise  all 
assets  currently  held  under  operating  leases.  Operating 
lease expenses will be replaced by a depreciation expense 
on Right of Use assets recognised and an interest expense 
as the implicit interest rate as the lease liabilities unwinds.

for 

two 

The  standard  allows 
transition  methods: 
retrospectively  for  all  periods  presented,  or  using  a 
modified  retrospective  approach  where  the  cumulative 
effect  of  adoption  is  recognised  at  the  date  of  initial 
application.  The  Company  is  evaluating  which  of  these 
transition methods will be adopted.

Also, the notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) 
Amendment Rules, 2019 amended changes to other Ind AS 
standards: Ind AS 103 Business Combinations and Ind AS 
111  Joint  Operations,  Ind  AS  109  Financial  Instruments, 
Ind AS 12 Income Taxes, Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits and 
Ind AS 23 Borrowing Costs. These amendments shall come 
into effect from 1 April 2019. The Company is evaluating 
the impact of these amendments.

The key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations are as follows:

- Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)

- Discount rate

- Growth rates

- Anticipated capital expenditure

EBIT MARGINS:

The  margins  have  been  estimated  based  on  past  experience  after  considering  incremental  revenue  arising  out  of  services 
from the existing and new customers. Margins will be positively impacted from the efficiencies and initiatives driven by the 
company; whereas, factors like increased cost of operations may impact the margins negatively.

Discount rate:

Discount rates reflects current market assessment of the specific CGUs and is estimated based on the weighted average cost 
of capital for respective CGU/group of CGUs. Pre-tax discount rate used was ranging from 4.5% to 5.75% for the year ended 
March 31, 2019 (previous year 7.78%)

Growth rates:

The growth rates used is in line with the long term average growth rates of the respective industry and country in which the 
entity operates considering the technology involved and are consistent with the internal / external sources of information. The 
average growth rates used in extrapolating cash flows ranged from 12% to 16%. (previous year 12% to 16%)

Capital expenditure:

The cash flow forecasts of capital expenditure are based on past experience after considering the additional capital expenditure 
required which is expected to be very nominal.

by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted  earnings  /  (loss)  per  share  amounts  are  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit/loss  attributable  to  equity  holders  after 
adjusting by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the effect of dilutive potential 
equity shares arising from outstanding stock options

42  Employee Stock Option Scheme
A  Employee stock option scheme of the company
(a)  Nature and extent of employee stock option scheme that existed during the year:

Plan I

The company introduced the employee stock option scheme as a part of the scheme of arrangement, approved by the Hon’ble 
High Court of Gujarat and Hon’ble High Court of Bombay.On the date of demerger all employees of Mastek who were having 
options of Mastek Limited were granted equal number of options of the Company.

The Company introduced the scheme for granting up to 80,00,000 stock options to the employees, each option representing 
one equity share of the Company. The exercise price is to be determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
(“Committee”) and such price may be the face value of the share from time to time or may be the market price or any other 
price as may be decided by the Committee and will be governed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Share 
based employee benefits) Regulations, 2014. The first vesting of the stock options shall happen only on completion of one year 
from the date of grant and the options are exercisable within seven years from the date of vesting.

The Company has granted employee stock options to its employees and also to employees of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. 
As per the demerger scheme of Mastek employees of Mastek Limited who are having options of Mastek on date of demerger 
were granted equal number of options of the Company. These options are mostly granted at the market price on the date 
of grant. As per the SEBI guidelines, the excess of market price of the underlying equity shares as of the date of the grant 
of the options over the exercise price of the option were recognised and amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting 
period in the previous GAAP. On the date of transition to Ind-AS i.e. 1 April,2016, the Company carried out a fair valuation 
of all the unvested options as on that date and debited Retained earnings by INR 214 lakhs and INR 30 lakhs on account of 
options relating to employees of Mastek Limited and the Company respectively with a credit to the employee stock option 
outstanding  account  considering  the  same  as  equivalent  to  cost  of  employee  stock  option  granted  by  Mastek  Limited  to 
employees of Majesco Group as per the said scheme of demerger since the management of the Company does not expect a 
separate recovery of the same amount from Mastek Limited or recovery from the Company by Mastek Limited. Accordingly 
no further adjustments for fair value have been made in respect of these options.

For the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 the fair value of the options both vested and unvested options granted 
to the employees of the group was determined and the incremental amount of INR 203 lakhs and INR 144 lakhs respectively 
were charged to the employee benefit expense with a corresponding credit to Employee stock options outstanding account.

For the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 similar amount relating to employees of its subsidiaries and step down 
subsidiaries amounting to INR 329 lakhs and INR 450 lakhs net of recoveries respectively was debited to the Statements of 
Profit and Loss with the corresponding credit to Employee stock options outstanding account.

B  Employee stock option scheme of the subsidiary, Majesco, USA
(a)  Nature and extent of employee share-based payment plans that existed during the year:
  Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2015, Majesco adopted the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Options and stock awards for the 
purchase of upto 38,77,263 shares may be granted by the Board of Directors to our employees, consultants and directors at 
an exercise or grant price determined by the Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options may be granted as incentive 
or nonqualified stock options with a term of not more than ten years. The 2015 Plan allows the Board of Directors to grant 
restricted or unrestricted stock awards or awards denominated in stock equivalent units or any combination of the foregoing 
and may be paid in common stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of common stock or other securities and cash. 
On March 31, 2018, an aggregate of 20,81,983 shares were available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

In  June  2015,  Majesco  adopted  the  Majesco  2015  Equity  Incentive  Plan  (the  “2015  Plan”).  On  May  9,  2018,  the  Board  of 
Directors of Majesco approved an increase of 20,00,000 shares in the amount of shares available for issuance under the 2015 
Plan thereby increasing the number of shares available under such plan from 38,77,263 shares to 58,77,263 shares.

Majesco Annual Report 2018-19Shaping the future of insuranceNotes to the Audited Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the year ended March 31, 2019(Amount in INR lakhs, unless otherwise stated) 
 
 
  Majesco  uses  the  Black-Scholes-Merton  option-pricing  model  (“Black-Scholes”)  to  measure  fair  value  of  the  share-based 
awards. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the model, 
the most significant of which are the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of the option award, the risk-free interest 
rate of return and dividends during the expected term.

For the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 the fair value of the options both vested and unvested granted to the 
employees of the Company, amounting to INR 1,722 lakhs and INR 1,064 lakhs respectively was charged to the Statements of 
Profit and Loss with a corresponding credit to Employee stock options outstanding account.

46  Segment reporting

The  Company’s  operations  predominantly  relate  to  providing  software  solutions  in  the  insurance  industries  delivered  to 
customers globally. The organisational and reporting structure of the Group is based on Strategic Business Units (SBU) concept. 
The SBU’s are primarily geographical segments. SBU’s are the operating segments for which separate financial information is 
available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in 
assessing performance. These SBU’s provide end-to-end information technology solutions on time and material contracts or 
fixed bid contracts, entered into with customers. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the operations of the 
Company as one operating segment. Hence no separate segment information has been furnished herewith.

The Group’s primary reportable segments consist of the following SBUs, which are based on the risks and returns in different 
geographies and the location of the customers: North America Operations, Europe Operations, and Others. ‘Others’ include 
operations of the Group in other parts of the world including India.

50  Fair value hierarchy

The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

• 

• 

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 following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Contingent  consideration  pertaining  to  the  acquisition  of  the  consulting  business  of  Agile  Technologies,LLC,  a  New  Jersey 
limited  liability  company  (“Agile”),  as  of  December  31,  2015  has  been  classified  under  level  3  as  the  fair  valuation  of  such 
contingent consideration has been done using one or more of the significant inputs which are not based on observable market 
data. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant 
inputs that are not observable in the market. The significant inputs not supported by market activity included the Group’s 
probability  assessments  of  expected  future  cash  flows  related  to  its  acquisition  of  the  consulting  business  of  Agile  during 
the earn-out period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in 
accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement (the “Agile Agreement”), dated December 12, 2014, as amended 
on January 26, 2016. The total (loss)/ gain attributable to contingent consideration payable for the acquisition of the Agile 
business were INR 51 lakhs and INR 109 lakhs for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.The Group paid 
INR 699 lakhs to Agile as earn-out consideration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Group paid INR 773 lakhs to 
Agile as earn-out consideration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

As on March 31, 2019, no amount is payable on this account.

The  fair  value  of  Derivative  financial  instruments  is  determined  based  on  observable  market  inputs  and  valuation  models. 
The Derivative financial instruments are valued based on valuations received from the relevant counter-party (i.e., bank). The 
fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract and foreign exchange par forward contract has been determined as the 
difference between the forward rate on the reporting date and the forward rate on the original transaction, multiplied by the 
transaction’s notional amount (with currency matching).

51  Financial risk management objectives and policies

The group is exposed to various financial risks. These risks are categorized into market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The 
group’s risk management is coordinated by the Board of Directors and focuses on securing long term and short term cash 
flows. The group does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.

(A)  Market risk
  Market  risk  represents  the  risk  of  loss  that  may  impact  our  financial  position  due  to  adverse  changes  in  financial  market 
prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk primary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest 
rates, each as described more fully below. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative 
purposes.

(i) 

Interest rate risk
Interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will  fluctuate  because  of 
changes in market interest rates. The group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to 
thegroup long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a 
balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash and cash equivalents and investments. 
We  do  not  use  derivative  financial  instruments  to  hedge  interest  rate  exposure.  Our  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and 
investments as of March 31, 2019 were INR 10,986 lakhs and INR 8,662 lakhs respectively, as of March 31 2018 were 
INR 5,976 lakhs and INR 30,880 lakhs respectively . We invest primarily in highly liquid, money market funds and bank 
fixed deposits. Because of the short-term nature of the majority of the interest-bearing securities we hold, we believe 
that a 10% fluctuation in the interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents and investments would not have a 
material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

(ii)  Foreign currency risk

As bulk of the income and a significant part of the expenses of the group are earned/incurred in foreign currency any 
fluctuation  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  may  have  potential  impact  on  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss,  other 
comprehensive income and equity.

Considering  the  countries  and  economic  environment  in  which  the  group  operates  its  operations  are  subject  to  risks 
arising from fluctuations in the rates of US dollar, Great Britain pound, Singapore dollar against the Indian rupee which is 
the functional currency of the group.

The group as per its risk management policy uses derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreign exchange.

The  foreign  exchange  rate  sensitivity  is  calculated  by  aggregate  of  the  net  foreign  exchange  rate  exposure  and  a 
simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift to all the currencies by 10% against the functional currency i.e., the 
Rupee.

(B)  Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, 
time deposits, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivables. The Group maintains its cash and cash equivalents, 
time deposits, derivative financial instruments with banks having good reputation, good past track record, and who meet the 
minimum threshold requirements under the counterparty risk assessment process, and reviews their credit-worthiness on 
a periodic basis. Accounts receivables of the Group are typically unsecured. As there is no independent credit rating of the 
customer available with the Group, Management reviews the creditworthiness of customers based on their financial position, 
past experience and other factors. The Group entities perform ongoing credit evaluations of their customers’ financial condition 
and  monitor  the  creditworthiness  of  their  customers  to  which  they  grant  credit  terms  in  the  normal  course  of  business. 
Refer to note 46 on ‘Segment information’ for details relating to customers with revenue that accounted for 10% or more of

respectively. The increase to 6 days was primarily due to one customer. The days sales outstanding have been calculated by 
taking into consideration the combined balances of accounts receivable and unbilled amounts receivable.

in addition interest and other finance charges of INR 324 was incurred during the year. During the previous year, the cash 
generated  from  financing  activities  was  on  account  of  the  proceeds  (net)  from  issue  of  shares  of  INR  23,188  lakhs  and 
borrowings by INR 1,767 lakhs reduced by payment of Dividend INR 283 lakhs and repayment of loans by INR 1065 lakhs. 
We  operate  in  multiple  geographical  regions  of  the  world  through  our  various  subsidiaries.  We  typically  fund  the  cash 
requirements  for  our  operations  through  license,  services,  and  support  agreements.  As  of  March  31,  2019,  we  had 
approximately  INR  40,313  (PY  39,857)  lakhs  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,  other  bank  balances  and  marketable  securities  of

As a growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long term business plans. 
Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next twelve months, we anticipate incurring 
capital expenditures of 1000 to 1500 for new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.

  We believe that our current cash balances and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our normal 
operating needs for at least the next twelve months. These projections include anticipated sales to new customers and upsell/
cross sell to existing customers, the exact timing of which cannot be predicted with absolute certainty and can be influenced 
by factors outside our control. Our ability to fund our working capital needs and address planned capital expenditures will 
depend on our ability to generate cash in the future and plans to use the existing funds.

Our future liquidity and capital resource requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following 
trends and uncertainties we face and those described in Risk Factors detailed above.

Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control.

Our need to invest resources in product development  in order to  continue to enhance our current products, develop new 
products, attract and retain customers and keep pace with competitive product introductions and technological developments.

  We  experience  competition  in  our  industry  and  continuing  technological  changes.  Insurance  companies  typically  are  slow 
in making decisions and have numerous bureaucratic and institutional obstacles, which can make our efforts to attain new 
customers difficult. We compete on the basis of insurance knowledge, products, services, price, technological advances and 
system functionality and performance.

  We do not expect a need for a change in the mix or relative cost of our sources of capital.

share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The primary objective of the Company’s capital
