capital. Government regulations are multiplying, while energy 

limitations and climate change are forcing businesses to revisit 

operations and partnerships.

This climate of uncertainty is ripe for innovation. While 

businesses look to redesign their value chains to identify the right 

customer, they will also seek to reduce consumption of and 

dependence on constrained resources.

The ability to spot trends and effectively use IT to overcome 

these challenges will determine the success of global 

organisations. The ability to help identify challenges around the 

corner and work alongside customers in diverse industries as 

they recalibrate their strategy and reformat their business model 

is the strength that Wipro brings to the engagement.

At Wipro, we believe that applying minds to the problem brings 

radical solutions. This is borne out in engagements such as the 

one where we helped create the world's smallest dishwasher for 

a customer with a 30% lower energy footprint and 50% 

reduction in water consumption. Technology and analytics came 

together for a leading telecom customer to reduce their energy 

footprint by 11%, operational expenses by 8%, and GHG (Green 

House Gas) emissions by 6%.

organisation's ability to address scale, standardization and 

simplification, driving efficiency, optimising delivery and lowering 

unit costs. This research also found that while IT projects include 

hardware, software, services, and facilities, they together 

accounted for nearly 63% of the costs. In this scenario, 

variabilization enables the business to adopt outcome-based 

models, SLA-driven engagements, and pay-per-use models. 

Virtualization and pay-as-you-go software such as SaaS and 

Cloud now allow businesses to variabilize their asset inventory, 

and expand or reduce components or services as the need 

dictates.

While our customers have the freedom to leverage the model of 

their choice based on their preferences, Wipro believes that 

adopting this model also makes it a win-win situation for the 

service provider as well.

At Wipro, we are committed to investing in technologies such as 

Cloud, which can enable variabilized use of IT - whether 

applications, information, processing or storage. To quote an 

example, Wipro helped formulate a variabilized cloud solution for 

a leading global manufacturer, which, with its variable pricing 

model, helped the customer save US$ 30 million.

Businesses that still believe in terms like 'capital-intensive' and 

'fixed costs' would thrive only in predictable markets of which 

there are hardly any around us. Businesses facing shrinking 

product cycles and newer challenges with increasing frequency 

and are the facts of business today, and as with every evolution, 

the best solution must come to the fore. The answer and the 

future is variabilization.

Business Agility through

Variabalization

Investments in assets have long been the sign of a successful 

business, but in today's unpredictable environment, businesses 

would rather focus on being an agile organization than one that is 

encumbered by sunken investments. Variabilization of 

technology and resources helps a business reduce its fixed costs, 

and it no longer needs to worry about end-of-life infrastructure 

and the additional investments needed to refresh.

With variabilization, the asset utilisation is dynamic, and this 

enables the business to be nimble too.

Internal research at Wipro shows that about 74% of an 

organisation's IT costs can be variabilized while still retaining the

Business value through
consumerization of 
Technology

The shift in focus within the IT world from the enterprise to the 

consumer has been gradual, but game-changing nonetheless. 

Today's consumer can consume more media and heavy data on a 

simple handheld device than the early connected enterprise did. 

With tools for communication, collaboration, and entertainment 

available across a range of devices, consumer spend on IT - from 

a hardware and applications perspective - has overtaken that of 

enterprises. Imagine - the world's largest data centres today 

serve consumers, not enterprises!

The connected individual is bringing this same preference for 

devices and applications into the workplace, and employers 

today face the challenge of allowing employees to work from the 

location of their choice, on a device running an operating system 

of their choice, and yet demanding connectivity to all business 

tools and data. IDC recently reported that in 2011, 20% of 

respondents to their survey said that they use Facebook and 

MySpace for business, and this had more than doubled from 8% 

of respondents in 2010.

This should be seen as a positive trend, as not only does it bring 

the latest technology to the workplace, it also helps lower the 

cost of procuring and provisioning hardware and software for the 

employer. Studies have also shown that employees who are 

allowed to bring their own devices to the workplace are happier 

and more productive. 

On the flip side, however, are the pressures faced by the IT 

department. An influx of diverse devices will prove to be a 

nightmare from a policy and governance standpoint, and could 

also expose corporate data to misuse. The safeguards put in 

place to prevent unauthorised access, or to ensure standard 

protocols among all devices connecting to the network, will have 

to be robust and regularly refreshed to address newer threats.

Wipro has been helping customers on this journey for some time 

now. For instance, Wipro worked with a customer to implement a 

workforce management solution focused around consumer IT for 

rescheduling, routing, location intelligence and service 

management, for a global utility company. This solution brought 

the customer an improvement of up to 30% in resource 

efficiency and productivity, further resulting in improved 

customer satisfaction, and higher revenues. Consumerization of 

Technology is here to stay, and the enterprise that identifies the 

best balance between freedom and control for their employees 

will reap the benefits of having motivated employees and being 

seen as an innovative organization.

Another result of this consumerization is that consumers are 

increasingly drawn towards and equipped for a digital lifestyle. 

This means that marketers have an added medium - digital - to 

reach out to their target audiences and improve loyalty, and this 

can be done in interesting and engaging ways. 

Wipro Digital works with customers to devise an integrated 

digital marketing strategy, with a choice of a full suite of digital 

solutions and services, including creative design. Wipro Reach is 

the digital marketing platform for e-commerce, content, social 

collaboration and CRM, and analytics. Wipro Digital also helps 

drive consistent experiences and engagement across channels 

for the customer, and aids the business in its quest for return on 

investment, helps it to optimise spend, while enhancing 

customer loyalty and stickiness.

million. Using data from analytics can throw up new business 

our customers, and has helped a global bank view its customers' 

exposure, offer counsel on investment opportunities as well as 

on product types and settlement markets that cause the highest 

'fail' ratio. The bank's operation balance grew to US$209 billion 

as against US$149 billion the previous year. Using Analytics, our 

customers derive intelligence that drives their investments, helps 

them create better marketing strategies, improves their products

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER TO
THE STAKEHOLDERS 

In the last completed fiscal year covered by this Annual Report, 

we achieved revenues of  375 billion, recording a year on year 

 ` 

growth of 21%. All our efforts are directed towards positioning 

Wipro to leverage emerging opportunities in the market place to 

sustain our growth in the future. We continue to focus on our 

decade long sustainability journey, where we are seeing an 

increasing shift in mindset globally towards sustainable growth.

To conclude, the energy in our leadership team and the high 

passion levels in our employees give us the confidence that we 

are well on our way to building a strong and sustainable 

business. I would like to thank each and every one of our 

customers, employees, shareholders, partners and supporters 

for their continued trust in building Wipro for this exciting future. 

.

Very Sincerely,

Azim H. Premji

Chairman

Dear Stakeholders,

We are living in interesting times. Change is no longer sporadic 

and spaced out but regular and continuous. In this constantly 

changing world, our clients across the globe are focused on 

revenue growth and enhancing productivity with a view to 

increasing their profits. The entire Globe is their canvas. They are 

identifying newer growth opportunities and differentiating their 

offerings to customers in the market place. In parallel, our clients 

realize that they need to significantly change their cost 

structures and create a focused marketing strategy for each of 

their customer segments to compete globally. 

In my view, Technology is going to be the KEY enabler for clients 

to achieve this dual objective of growth and differentiation as 

they transform themselves. 

On the 'growth' paradigm, our clients are looking for deeper 

customer insights and improved ways of delivering services to 

their customers which will increase their ability to cater to a 

global market. Wipro's investments in key technology themes, 

coupled with our domain specific solutions and global footprint, 

positions us to be their trusted partners in their growth journey. 

Productivity and Variablization of cost structure is another prime 

priority of our clients. Technology for most of our clients is no 

longer a cost but an investment decision. It is a key enabler to 

drive productivity and simplify their business processes to 

reduce operational costs. Wipro with strong delivery capabilities, 

global presence and deep business process understanding, is 

well placed to help our clients achieve this goal. 

On the external front, it is these ideas that make me positive on 

our growth prospects in the IT services businesses. This 

optimism on the external front is supplemented by the 

significant progress on our organizational restructuring initiated 

in 2011. Wipro today is better equipped to help our customers to 

'Do Business Better'.

We are making significant investments, both on the client facing

On the operational front, our focus is to drive excellence across 

through process improvement and automation.

A constant in this volatile business environment over the 

decades is our consistent and continuous attention to achieving 

the highest levels of corporate governance in Wipro. Our strong 

governance culture is reflected in the Spirit of Wipro values 

promoted at an employee level at the base, a strong and thriving 

Ombudsman system at the inner organization core, a strong 

management team and Board to keep the tone at the top 

consistent with our beliefs. We have a clear internal policy of 

all aspects of the business to improve profitability. A specific 

area is cutting working capital cycle times and improving cash 

flow generation. We are also making significant investments to 

improve supply chain efficiencies through process redesign and 

automation. We are reasonably confident that our initiatives will 

help drive sustainable profitable growth in the years to come.

In this volatile economic environment, we have a sound liquidity 

position with net cash (net-of-debt) of $ 1.4 billion. Our financial 

stability and strong balance sheet provides us the ability to make

      Economic Overview

Global economy is under stress due to high levels of sovereign 

debt in the Western markets coupled with increasing levels of 

unemployment and rising income and wealth inequalities. We  

see subdued growth in the developed markets and growth 

slowing down in the developing markets. In this economic 

environment, businesses are focused on investing in newer areas 

for growth and driving productivity and enhancing sustainability. 

We believe the shift towards driving sustainable growth, has 

brought ecological sustainability to the mainstream business 

mindset.

The current economic landscape places technology as a primary 

business lever in developed markets, which is an opportunity 

that Wipro is well positioned to leverage. To elaborate, 

technology is the key enabler for businesses to adapt to the 

volatile macro environment and the changing ecological 

landscape, and our IT business is well set to capitalize on it. In 

the emerging markets, our Consumer Care business is well 

positioned to ride on the rising consumer demand, while our 

manufacturing presence in low cost countries will help our 

Infrastructure engineering business address the global demand  

for profitability.

The shift towards global sourcing, continues, with a 12% growth

businesses turning to offshore technology service providers to 

meet their need for Variabilization of their cost structures, 

enhanced cost competitiveness and efficiency through 

differentiated solutions.

Over the past two decades, India has risen to become the 

leading destination for global sourcing of IT, BPO and R&D 

services. Established Indian IT services companies have a proven 

track record for providing business and technology solutions, 

ability to handle scale, high quality talent and strong domain and 

technology capabilities. These factors, coupled with strong 

existing client relationships have facilitated India's emergence as 

the global outsourcing hub.

Wipro is well positioned to address the $ 758 billion market of IT 

Services and BPO. In addition, Wipro's unique capability in 

Engineering services help us address the $ 1.15 trillion global 

spend in that area. Our market continues to be large and our 

penetration levels low. We expect Indian IT exports to grow 

faster than the growth in global technology spends.

Our revenue from IT Services increased by 21.1%. In US dollar 

terms our revenue increased by 13.4% from US$ 5,221 million to 

US$ 5,921 million. This increase is primarily on account of 

increase in volume by 11.5% and increase in onsite-offshore mix 

by 1.3%. Our average US/INR realization increased from ` 44.9 

for the year ended March 31, 2011 to ` 48.0 for the year ended 

March 31, 2012.

Our gross profit to revenue percentage declined by 209 bps 

during the year. This decline in gross margin is primarily on 

account of lower employee utilization rates and an increase in 

personnel compensation cost during the year. Further, integration 

of our SAIC acquisition from June 2011 has contributed to a 

decline in gross margin by 50 bps.

During the current year, we realised 53.8% of revenue from work 

done in locations outside India (“Onsite”) and remaining 46.2% 

of revenue was realised from the work performed from our 

development centers in India (“Offshore”).

Our continued focus on driving revenue productivity resulted in 

our onsite price realization increasing by 2.3% during the year 

and our offshore price realization increasing by 0.6% in  US 

dollar terms. Our revenue contribution from Fixed Price Projects 

(FPP) is 45.7% for the year. In FPP, we undertake to complete 

project within agreed timeline at a fixed price for a given scope of 

work. The economic gains or losses realized from completing the 

project earlier or later than initially projected timelines or at 

lower or higher efforts accrues to us.

Our revenue from IT Services increased by 21.1%. In US dollar 
terms our revenue increased by 13.4% from US$ 5,221 million to 
US$ 5,921 million. This increase is primarily on account of 
increase in volume by 11.5% and increase in onsite-offshore mix 
by 1.3%. Our average US/INR realization increased from ` 44.9 
for the year ended March 31, 2011 to ` 48.0 for the year ended 
March 31, 2012.

Our gross profit to revenue percentage declined by 209 bps 
during the year. This decline in gross margin is primarily on 
account of lower employee utilization rates and an increase in 
personnel compensation cost during the year. Further, integration 
of our SAIC acquisition from June 2011 has contributed to a 
decline in gross margin by 50 bps.

During the current year, we realised 53.8% of revenue from work 
done in locations outside India (“Onsite”) and remaining 46.2% 
of revenue was realised from the work performed from our 
development centers in India (“Offshore”).

Our continued focus on driving revenue productivity resulted in 
our onsite price realization increasing by 2.3% during the year 
and our offshore price realization increasing by 0.6% in  US 
dollar terms. Our revenue contribution from Fixed Price Projects 
(FPP) is 45.7% for the year. In FPP, we undertake to complete 
project within agreed timeline at a fixed price for a given scope of 
work. The economic gains or losses realized from completing the 
project earlier or later than initially projected timelines or at 
lower or higher efforts accrues to us.

Our top customer contributed 3.6% of our revenue, top 5 
customers 11.3% and the top 10 customers accounted for 19.6% 
of our revenue. We have 7 customers contributing more than 
$100 million revenues in the current year, an increase from 3 in

Revenue contributed by the customers added during the year 
was at 2%, the same level as in the previous year.

In our IT Services Business segment, manpower cost accounts for 
approximately 50% of the Revenues. Other major costs included 
Sub-contracted manpower cost, depreciation and employee-
travel cost.

The operational drivers for these costs are Utilisation of 
employees, Onsite: Offshore composition and the composition of 
experience profile of employees called the 'Bulge-mix'.

During the current year, our investments for strategic bench to

Revenue Mix: Geographical Distribution

Growth in the current year was driven by an 18% increase in

Our revenues from this business are derived in major currencies 
of the world while a significant portion of its costs are in Indian 
rupees. The exchange rate between the rupee and major 
currencies of the world has fluctuated significantly in recent 
years and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Currency 
fluctuations can adversely affect our revenues and gross margins.

The market for IT services is highly competitive. Our competitors 
include software companies, IT companies, systems consulting 
and integration firms, other technology companies and client in-
house information services departments. We may also face 
competition from IT and ITES companies operating from 
emerging low cost destination like China, Philippines, Brazil, 
Romania, Poland etc.

cost affordable computing, which is expected to also fuel growth. 

Increased adoption of virtualization and cloud computing 

technologies, large-scale digitization and the increased 

importance of big data or analytics have also contributed to 

growth in the server and storage markets. Demand for 

networking equipment is increasing as businesses invest in 

expanding and upgrading their infrastructure, and as penetration 

of mobile devices, teleconferencing and voice over internet 

protocol ("VOIP") increases.

Increasing demand for data and rising consumer income is 

leading to an increase in demand for notebook computers, which 

according to the NASSCOM Strategic Review Report, 2012, was 

the fastest growing market among all hardware categories.

      Wipro Credentials and Strategy

Our IT Products segment provides a range of IT products 

encompassing computing, storage, networking, security, and 

software products. Under this segment, we sell IT products 

manufactured by us and third-party IT products.

Our range of IT Products is comprised of the following:

• Wipro Manufactured Products. Our manufactured range of

   products includes desktops, notebooks, net power servers,

   netStor storage and super computers. We offer form

   factors and functionalities that cater to the entire spectrum

   of users - from individuals to high-end corporate entities.

   We continue to launch new products based on market

   needs

   enterprise wide area network (WAN), wireless LAN and

   unified communication systems

• Software Products. Our products under this category are

   comprised of enterprise application, data warehousing and

   business intelligence software from leading software

   product companies

• Data Storage. Our products under this category are

   comprised of network storage, secondary and near line

37

We derive approximately 52% of revenues from United States 

and 28% from Europe. In an economic slowdown, our clients 

located in these geographies may reduce or defer their 

technology spending significantly. Reduction in spending on IT 

services may lower the demand for our services and negatively 

affect our revenues and profitability.

Some countries and organizations have expressed serious 

concerns about a perceived association between offshore 

outsourcing and the loss of jobs domestically. With the growth of 

offshore outsourcing receiving increasing political and media 

attention, there have been concerted efforts to enact new 

legislation to restrict offshore outsourcing or impose 

disincentives on companies which have been outsourcing jobs. 

This may adversely impact our ability to do business in these 

jurisdictions and could affect our revenues and operating 

profitability.

Our employees who work onsite at client facilities or at our 

facilities in the United States on temporary or extended 

assignments typically must obtain visas. If U.S. immigration laws 

change and make it more difficult for us to obtain H-1B and L-1 

visas for our employees, our ability to compete for and provide 

services to our clients in the United States could be impaired.

These risks are broadly country risks. At an organizational level, 

we have a well-defined business contingency plan and disaster 

recovery plan to address these unforeseen events and minimize 

the impact on services delivered from our development centers 

based in India or abroad.

million for the year ended March 31, 2011 to US$ 97 million for 
the year ended March 31, 2012.

Our gross profit to revenue percentage in our IT Products
segment increased marginally by 31 bps. This increase is 
primarily due to an increase in finance income on deferred 
consideration earned from the total outsourcing contracts.

Risk

IT Products revenues are impacted by seasonal changes that
affect purchasing patterns among our consumers of desktops, 
notebooks, servers, communication devices and other products.

The IT products market is a dynamic and highly competitive
market. In the marketplace, we compete with both international 
and local providers. We are witnessing pricing pressures due to 
commoditization of manufactured products business and higher 
focus on Indian markets by leading global companies.

Nonetheless, we are favorably positioned due to our quality
leadership, expertise in target markets and our ability to
create client loyalty by delivering value to the customer.

Consumer Care and Lighting

Industry Overview
AC Nielsen estimates that India is amongst the fastest growing 
geographies for fast moving consumer goods (“FMCG”), with a 
growth rate of 14.2% for the Moving Annual Total November 
2011, or the twelve month period ending in November 2011, for 
the non-food segment, the market we address. According to AC 
Nielsen, the market is expected to grow at a compounded annual 

growth rate (“CAGR”) between 12% to 15% for the period from 

2012-2015. According to AC Nielsen, household and personal 

care FMCG market in the other Asian countries in which we 

operate including Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia, is expected 

to grow at a CAGR of 8% for the period from 2012-2015.

Wipro Credentials and Strategy

Our Consumer Care and Lighting business segment focuses

on niche markets in personal care in specific geographies in

Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as office solutions in

India. We successfully leverage our brands and distribution

strengths to sustain a profitable presence in the personal care

sector, including personal wash, fragrances, hair and skin

care, male toiletries and household lighting and office

products. Our office solutions include lighting products,

modular switches, modular furniture and security solutions.

Our Santoor brand is the third largest in India in the soap

category, and our Safi brand is the largest Halal toiletries

brand in Malaysia. Our Yardley brand gives us a stronger

presence in the Middle East in the luxury segment of personal

care. We are among the top 15 companies in personal care in

India, and the third largest company in personal care in

Malaysia and the fourth largest company in personal care in

Vietnam.

We market and sell our personal care products through a

network of distribution channels which include modern retail

outlets, hypermarts, supermarts, traditional retailers, van

operators and wholesalers. We sell and market our consumer

care products primarily through our distribution network in

India, which has access to over 4,000 distributors and

approximately 1.9 million retail outlets. We sell a significant

portion of our lighting products to major industrial and

commercial customers through our direct sales force, from

34 sales offices located throughout India.

In India, we leverage our brand recognition by successfully

incorporating the Wipro name in our consumer brands. We

intend to expand our marketing efforts with the aid of

advertising campaigns and promotional efforts targeted at

specific regions of India. We intend to introduce acquired

personal care product brands to further establish our

presence in the markets for personal care products in India.

In our other geographies, led by Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia

and China, we have direct access to over 230,000 retail

outlets.

Our Consumer Care and Lighting revenue increased by 22.5%. 

This increase is attributable to an increase of approximately 

24.1% in revenue from consumer products including Yardley 

products sold in Indian markets and an increase of approximately 

20% in revenue from personal care products sold in southeast 

Asian markets.

The growth in revenues in Indian markets is primarily due to an 

increase in revenue from toilet soap products, domestic lighting 

and institutional business.

Our gross profit as a percentage of our revenues from the

Consumer Care and Lighting segment decreased by 117 bps. The 

increase in major input costs has primarily contributed to

reduction in gross margin.

Risk Factors

Our competitors in the consumer care and lighting are located 

primarily in India, and include multinational and Indian 

companies. Certain competitors have recently focused on sales 

strategies designed to increase sales volumes by  lowering prices. 

Sustained price pressures by competitors may require us to 

respond with similar or different pricing strategies.  This may 

adversely affect our gross and operating profits in future periods.

Our revenue from the IT Products segment increased by 4.1% 

primarily due to an increase in export revenue from US$ 79 

million for the year ended March 31, 2011 to US$ 97 million for 

the year ended March 31, 2012.

Our gross profit to revenue percentage in our IT Products

segment increased marginally by 31 bps. This increase is 

primarily due to an increase in finance income on deferred 

consideration earned from the total outsourcing contracts.

Risk

IT Products revenues are impacted by seasonal changes that

affect purchasing patterns among our consumers of desktops, 

notebooks, servers, communication devices and other products.

The IT products market is a dynamic and highly competitive

market. In the marketplace, we compete with both international 

and local providers. We are witnessing pricing pressures due to 

commoditization of manufactured products business and higher 

focus on Indian markets by leading global companies.

Nonetheless, we are favorably positioned due to our quality

leadership, expertise in target markets and our ability to

create client loyalty by delivering value to the customer.

Performance Highlights

Wipro Credentials and Strategy

Our Consumer Care and Lighting business segment focuses
on niche markets in personal care in specific geographies in
Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as office solutions in
India. We successfully leverage our brands and distribution
strengths to sustain a profitable presence in the personal care
sector, including personal wash, fragrances, hair and skin
care, male toiletries and household lighting and office
products. Our office solutions include lighting products,
modular switches, modular furniture and security solutions.
Our Santoor brand is the third largest in India in the soap
category, and our Safi brand is the largest Halal toiletries
brand in Malaysia. Our Yardley brand gives us a stronger
presence in the Middle East in the luxury segment of personal
care. We are among the top 15 companies in personal care in
India, and the third largest company in personal care in
Malaysia and the fourth largest company in personal care in
Vietnam.

We market and sell our personal care products through a
network of distribution channels which include modern retail
outlets, hypermarts, supermarts, traditional retailers, van
operators and wholesalers. We sell and market our consumer
care products primarily through our distribution network in
India, which has access to over 4,000 distributors and
approximately 1.9 million retail outlets. We sell a significant
portion of our lighting products to major industrial and
commercial customers through our direct sales force, from
34 sales offices located throughout India.

In India, we leverage our brand recognition by successfully
incorporating the Wipro name in our consumer brands. We
intend to expand our marketing efforts with the aid of
advertising campaigns and promotional efforts targeted at
specific regions of India. We intend to introduce acquired
personal care product brands to further establish our
presence in the markets for personal care products in India.

In our other geographies, led by Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia
and China, we have direct access to over 230,000 retail
outlets.

Our Consumer Care and Lighting revenue increased by 22.5%. 
This increase is attributable to an increase of approximately 
24.1% in revenue from consumer products including Yardley 
products sold in Indian markets and an increase of approximately 
20% in revenue from personal care products sold in southeast 
Asian markets.

The growth in revenues in Indian markets is primarily due to an 
increase in revenue from toilet soap products, domestic lighting 
and institutional business.

Our gross profit as a percentage of our revenues from the
Consumer Care and Lighting segment decreased by 117 bps. The 
increase in major input costs has primarily contributed to
reduction in gross margin.

Risk Factors

Our competitors in the consumer care and lighting are located 
primarily in India, and include multinational and Indian 
companies. Certain competitors have recently focused on sales 
strategies designed to increase sales volumes by  lowering prices. 
Sustained price pressures by competitors may require us to 
respond with similar or different pricing strategies.  This may 
adversely affect our gross and operating profits in future periods.

39

A major share of revenue in Consumer care and lighting business 
comes from top three brands in India and international business. 
Any dilution in market share of such brand against competition 
may adversely impact our revenue. Further, price volatility in 
major inputs for personal care products, could have an adverse 
impact on our margin.

Others

Our "Others" business segment includes our Infrastructure
Engineering business. This business is centered on mobile 
construction equipments and material handling solutions. We 
manufacture and sell cylinders and truck hydraulics, and we also 
distribute hydraulic pumps, motors and valves for international 
companies. We are the world's largest independent
manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders. We have a global footprint 
of manufacturing facilities in Europe, Brazil, China and India and 
sell to customers across the globe. We also expanded this
business to provide water solutions that address the entire
spectrum of treatment solutions and systems for water and
waste water. 

Our strategy is to increase our global market share through
strengthening relationships with global original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) who are likely to seek stable suppliers like 
Wipro to partner; and diversification into newer segments 
organically and/or inorganically through acquisitions. Our main 
domestic competitors include, UT Limited (India), Dongyong, 
Pacoma, Sundaram Hydraulics and Dantal and overseas suppliers 
such as the Kayaba, Precision Hydraulics Company and Hyva (in 
tipping business).

Our Others business segment also includes our Wipro Eco 
Energy business unit, which provides intelligent, sustainable
alternatives for energy generation, distribution and consumption. 
We help customers reduce their energy footprint, increase
energy efficiency and replace conventional with renewable
energy sources.

Risk Factors

The Infrastructure Engineering business is linked to
infrastructure spending globally. If there is an economic
slowdown, it would translate in to lower growth for our
customers and in turn reduce our growth prospects.

  Performance Highlights

Revenue from our Others segment, including reconciling
items, increased by 59.5%, from ` 11,969 million for the year
ended March 31, 2011 to ` 19,099 million for the year ended
March 31, 2012. The increase in revenue is attributable to
increased demand for infrastructure engineering products in
India and Europe. Further, integration of our acquisition of
R. K. M. Equipamentos Hidraulicos Ltda from May 2011 has
resulted in additional revenue of ` 639 million.

(1) For the purpose of segment reporting only, we have

included the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in

revenue.  Excluding the impact of exchange rate

fluctuations, revenue, as reported in our statements of

income under IFRS, is ` 310,542 million and ` 371,971

million for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2012,

respectively.

(2) Our adjusted non-GAAP profit for the year ended March

by an increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue from

• Our selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of

revenue increased from 7.1% for the year ended March 31,

2011 to 7.4% for the year ended March 31, 2012. In absolute

terms selling and marketing expenses increased by 25.3%,

primarily due to an increase in the IT Services and Consumer

Care and Lighting segment.

• Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of

revenue decreased from 5.9% for the year ended March 31,

2011 to 5.4% for the year ended March 31, 2012. In absolute

terms general and administrative expenses increased by

10.6%, primarily due to increased expenses in the IT

Services segment and Consumer Care and Lighting segment.

• As a result of the foregoing factors, our operating income

increased by 11%, from ` 57,668 million for the year ended

March 31, 2011 to ` 64,013 million for the year ended March

31,2012.

•

Our finance expenses increased from ` 1,933 million for the

year ended March 31, 2011 to ` 3,491 million for the year

ended March 31, 2012. This increase is primarily due to

increase of ` 1,277 million in exchange loss on foreign

currency borrowings and related derivative instruments. This

increase is also due to increase in interest expense by

` 281 million during the year ended March 31, 2012, due to

higher loans and borrowings.

• Our finance and other income, increased from ` 6,652

million for the year ended March 31, 2011 to ` 8,895 million

for the year ended March 31, 2012. Our interest and dividend

income increased by ` 2,248 million during the year ended

March 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended March 31,

2011. This was partially offset by a marginal decrease in the

gain from sale of investments during the same period.

• Our income taxes increased by ` 4,049 million from ` 9,714

million for the year ended March 31, 2011 to ` 13,763

million for the year ended March 31, 2012. Adjusted for tax

write-backs our effective tax rate increased from 16.5% for

the year ended March 31, 2011 to 21% for the year ended

March 31, 2012. This increase is primarily due to the

expiration of the tax holiday period for STPs, which resulted

in a substantial portion of our pre-tax income becoming

subject to taxation. The increase is partially offset by an

increase in profits from our operations in SEZ units.

• Our equity in earnings of affiliates for the years ended

March 31, 2011 and 2012 was ` 648 million and ` 333

million, respectively. Equity in earnings of affiliates primarily

relates to the equity in earnings of Wipro GE.

• As a result of the foregoing factors, our profit attributable to

equity holders increased by ` 2,753 million, or 5.2%, from

` 52,977 million for the year ended March 31, 2011 to

` 55,730 million for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Foreign exchange gains/(losses), net

We have a consistent hedging policy, designed to minimize the 
impact of volatility in foreign exchange fluctuations on the 
earnings. We evaluate exchange rate exposure arising from these 
transactions and enter into foreign currency derivative 
instruments to mitigate such exposure. We follow established 
risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like 
foreign exchange forward / option contracts to hedge forecasted 
cash flows denominated in foreign currency. Our foreign 
exchange gains / (losses), net for the years ended March 31, 2011 
and 2012 were ` 445 million and ` 3,278 million respectively. 
The foreign exchange losses, net with respect to effective portion 
of derivative hedging instrument designated as cash flow hedges 
upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction and 
recorded as part of Revenues for the years ended March 31, 2011 
and 2012 were ` (3,023) million and ` (3,720) million,
respectively.

Our foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, comprise of:

•

The changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as
hedging derivatives and ineffective portions of the hedging

instruments. For forward foreign exchange contracts which
are designated and effective as cash flow hedges, the marked
to market gains and losses are deferred and reported as a
component of other comprehensive income in stockholder’s
equity and subsequently recorded in the income statement
when the hedged transactions occur, along with the hedged
items; and Exchange differences arising from the translation
or settlement of transactions in foreign currency, except for
exchange differences on debt denominated in foreign
currency (which are reported within finance expense, net).
Although our functional currency is the Indian rupee, we
transact a significant portion of our business in foreign
currencies, in particular the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate
between the Rupee and the dollar has changed substantially
in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future.
Consequently, the results of our operations are affected as
the Rupee fluctuates against the U.S. dollar. Our exchange
rate risk primarily arises from our foreign currency revenues,
cash balances, payables and debt. The break up of our
currency wise exposure on the balance sheet is shown in the

We enter into derivative instruments to primarily hedge our forecasted cash flows denominated in certain foreign currencies, foreign currency 
debt and net investment in overseas operations. Please refer to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for additional 
details on our foreign currency exposures.

Finance expense

Our finance expense is comprised of interest expense on

borrowings, impairment losses recognized on financial

assets, gains/losses on translation or settlement of foreign

currency borrowings and changes in fair value and gains/

losses on settlement of related derivative instruments, except

foreign exchange gains/losses on short-term borrowings

which are considered as a natural economic hedge for the

foreign currency monetary assets which are classified as

foreign exchange gains/losses, net within results from

operating activities. Borrowing costs are recognized in the

statement of income using the effective interest method.

Finance and other income

Our finance and other income comprises interest income on

deposits, dividend income and gains on disposal of available

for-sale financial assets. Interest income is recognized using

the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized

when the right to receive payment is established.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash flow from its operating, investing and

financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of 

Cash Flows under IFRS, is summarized in the table below:

Our credit period to customers generally ranges from 45-60 

days. The quantum of overdue debtors beyond 90 days has come 

down from ` 14,834 million (24% of the total receivables) in year 

ended March 31, 2011 to ` 12,702 million (16% of the total 

receivables) in year ended March 31, 2012. The age wise break up 

of receivables, net of allowances that are past due, is given

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalent and 

short-term investments of ` 119,627 million. Cash and cash 

equivalent and short-term investments, net of debt was ` 60,669 

million. In addition we have unused credit lines of ` 32,747 

million. To utilize these lines of credit we require the consent of 

the lender and compliance with certain financial covenants. We 

have historically financed our working capital and capital 

expenditures through our operating cash flows and through bank 

debt, as required.

Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended March 

31, 2012 decreased by ` 361 million, while profit for the year 

increased by ` 2,666 million during the same period. The 

decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due 

to an increase in current receivables including unbilled, 

attributable higher revenue from IT Services segment without 

any corresponding change in Receivable Days in the IT Services 

segment.

increase in finance lease receivables by ` 463 million, primarily 

relating to large projects and increase in prepaid expenses and 

deposits by ` 1,886 million and ` 451 million, respectively. This is 

partially offset by the increase in trade payables and accrued 

expenses on account of better management of payment terms. 

Receivable Days as of a particular reporting date is the 

proportion of receivables, adjusted for unbilled and unearned 

revenue to the revenues for the respective fiscal quarter 

multiplied by 90.

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 

2012 was ` 8,056 million. Cash provided by operating activities 

was utilized for the payment for business acquisitions amounting 

to ` 7,920 million. We also sold (net of purchases) available for 

sale investments and inter-corporate deposits amounting to

` 4,057 million.

We purchased property, plant and equipment amounting to

` 12,977 million, which was primarily driven by the growth 

strategy of the Company.

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended March 31, 

2012 was ` 17,397 million as against ` 26,378 million for the 

year ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily due to net 

proceeds from loans and borrowings amounting to ` 712 million 

and payment of dividend amounting to ` 17,229 million.

On April 25, 2012, our Board proposed a cash dividend of

` 4 per equity share and ADR. The proposal is subject to the 

approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be 

held on July 23, 2012, and if approved, would

Foreign exchange gains/(losses), net

We have a consistent hedging policy, designed to minimize the 

impact of volatility in foreign exchange fluctuations on the 

earnings. We evaluate exchange rate exposure arising from these 

transactions and enter into foreign currency derivative 

instruments to mitigate such exposure. We follow established 

risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like 

foreign exchange forward / option contracts to hedge forecasted 

cash flows denominated in foreign currency. Our foreign 

exchange gains / (losses), net for the years ended March 31, 2011 

and 2012 were ` 445 million and ` 3,278 million respectively. 

The foreign exchange losses, net with respect to effective portion 

of derivative hedging instrument designated as cash flow hedges 

upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction and 

recorded as part of Revenues for the years ended March 31, 2011 

and 2012 were ` (3,023) million and ` (3,720) million,

respectively.

Our foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, comprise of:

•

The changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as

hedging derivatives and ineffective portions of the hedging

instruments. For forward foreign exchange contracts which

are designated and effective as cash flow hedges, the marked

to market gains and losses are deferred and reported as a

component of other comprehensive income in stockholder’s

equity and subsequently recorded in the income statement

when the hedged transactions occur, along with the hedged

items; and Exchange differences arising from the translation

or settlement of transactions in foreign currency, except for

exchange differences on debt denominated in foreign

currency (which are reported within finance expense, net).

Although our functional currency is the Indian rupee, we

transact a significant portion of our business in foreign

currencies, in particular the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate

between the Rupee and the dollar has changed substantially

in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future.

Consequently, the results of our operations are affected as

the Rupee fluctuates against the U.S. dollar. Our exchange

rate risk primarily arises from our foreign currency revenues,

cash balances, payables and debt. The break up of our

currency wise exposure on the balance sheet is shown in the

Further, operating cash flow is decreased due to increase in

proceeds from loans and borrowings amounting to ` 712 million 
and payment of dividend amounting to ` 17,229 million.

On April 25, 2012, our Board proposed a cash dividend of
` 4 per equity share and ADR. The proposal is subject to the 
approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be 
held on July 23, 2012, and if approved, would 

43

result in a cash outflow of approximately  ` 11,431, million 
including corporate dividend tax thereon.

We maintain a debt/borrowing level that we have established 
through consideration of a number of factors including cash flow 
expectations, cash required for operations and investment plans. 
We continually monitor our funding requirements, and strategies 
are executed to maintain sufficient flexibility to access global 
funding sources, as needed. Please refer to Note 12 of our Notes 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for 
additional details on our borrowings.

As discussed above, cash generated from operations is our 
primary source of liquidity. We believe that our cash and cash 
equivalents along with cash generated from operations will be 
sufficient to meet our working capital requirements as well as 
repayment obligations in respect of debt / borrowings.

As of March 31, 2012, we had contractual commitments of
` 1,673 million related to capital expenditures on construction or 
expansion of software development facilities, ` 14,838 million 
related to non-cancelable operating lease obligations and
` 6,378 million related to other purchase obligations. Plans to 
construct or expand our software development facilities are 
dictated by business requirements.

In relation to our acquisitions, a portion of the purchase 
consideration is payable upon achievement of specified earnings 
targets in the future. We expect that our cash and cash 
equivalents, investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds 
and the cash flows expected to be generated from our operations 
in the future will generally be sufficient to fund the earn-out 
payments and our expansion plans.

In the normal course of business, we transfer accounts 
receivables, net investment in sale-type finance receivable and 
employee advances (financial assets). Please refer Note 15 of our 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS.

Our liquidity and capital requirements are affected by many 
factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing 
operations of our businesses and some of which arise from 
uncertainties related to global economies and the markets that 
we target for our services. We cannot be certain that additional 
financing, if needed, will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2012, our cash and cash equivalent 
were primarily held in Indian Rupees, U.S. Dollars, Pound Sterling, 
Euros, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars and Saudi Riyals. Please 
refer to “Financial risk management” under Note 15 of our Notes 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for more 
details on our treasury activities.

Acquisitions

An active acquisition program is an important element of our
corporate strategy. On June 10, 2011, we acquired the global
oil and gas information technology practice of the Commercial 
Business Services Business Unit of Science Applications International 
Corporation Inc along with 100% of the share capital in SAIC Europe 
Limited and SAIC India Private Limited. On July 2, 2011 we also 
acquired 100% of the share capital of SAIC Gulf LLC (hereafter the 
acquisitions are collectively referred to as ‘oil and gas business of 
SAIC’). The oil and gas business of SAIC provides consulting, system 
integration and outsourcing services to global oil majors with 

significant domain capabilities in the areas of digital oil field, petro-
technical data management and petroleum application services, 
addressing the upstream segment. The Company believes that the 
acquisition will further strengthen Wipro’s presence in the Energy, 
Natural Resources and Utilities domain. Typically the significant 
majority of our integration activities relating to an acquisition are 
substantially completed within three to six months after the 
Acquisition Date.

We believe our acquisition program supports our long-term strategic 
direction, strengthens our competitive position, particularly in 
acquiring new domain expertise, expands our customer base, 
increases our ability to expand our service offerings and provides a 
greater scale to grow our earnings and increase stockholders’ value. 
See Note 6 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under 
IFRS for additional information related to our acquisitions.

Risk Management at corporate level

Risk Management at Wipro is an enterprise wide function. It

is backed by a qualified team of specialists with deep

industry experience who develop frameworks and

methodologies for assessing and mitigating risks.

ERM Framework at Wipro

Our framework is based on principles laid out in the four 

globally recognized standards

• Orange Book by UK Government Treasury.

• COSO; Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework

by Treadway Commission

• AS/NS 4360:2004 by AUS/NZ Standards board

• ISO/FDIS 31000:2009 by ISO

We have consciously moved to a system of proactive risk 

management by capturing weak signals and responding to them 

instead of reacting to a crisis. Early identification gives us a wider 

range of options and alternatives to respond effectively and 

efficiently.

and the cash flows expected to be generated from our operations 

in the future will generally be sufficient to fund the earn-out 

payments and our expansion plans.

In the normal course of business, we transfer accounts 

receivables, net investment in sale-type finance receivable and 

employee advances (financial assets). Please refer Note 15 of our 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS.

Our liquidity and capital requirements are affected by many 

factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing 

operations of our businesses and some of which arise from 

uncertainties related to global economies and the markets that 

we target for our services. We cannot be certain that additional 

financing, if needed, will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2012, our cash and cash equivalent 

were primarily held in Indian Rupees, U.S. Dollars, Pound Sterling, 

Euros, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars and Saudi Riyals. Please 

refer to “Financial risk management” under Note 15 of our Notes 

to the Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for more 

details on our treasury activities.

Acquisitions

An active acquisition program is an important element of our

corporate strategy. On June 10, 2011, we acquired the global

oil and gas information technology practice of the Commercial 

Business Services Business Unit of Science Applications International 

Corporation Inc along with 100% of the share capital in SAIC Europe 

Limited and SAIC India Private Limited. On July 2, 2011 we also 

acquired 100% of the share capital of SAIC Gulf LLC (hereafter the 

acquisitions are collectively referred to as ‘oil and gas business of 

SAIC’). The oil and gas business of SAIC provides consulting, system 

integration and outsourcing services to global oil majors with 

significant domain capabilities in the areas of digital oil field, petro-

technical data management and petroleum application services, 

addressing the upstream segment. The Company believes that the 

acquisition will further strengthen Wipro’s presence in the Energy, 

Natural Resources and Utilities domain. Typically the significant 

majority of our integration activities relating to an acquisition are 

substantially completed within three to six months after the 

Acquisition Date.

We believe our acquisition program supports our long-term strategic 

direction, strengthens our competitive position, particularly in 

acquiring new domain expertise, expands our customer base, 

increases our ability to expand our service offerings and provides a 

greater scale to grow our earnings and increase stockholders’ value. 

See Note 6 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under 

IFRS for additional information related to our acquisitions.

Risk Management at corporate level
Risk Management at Wipro is an enterprise wide function. It
is backed by a qualified team of specialists with deep
industry experience who develop frameworks and
methodologies for assessing and mitigating risks.

ERM Framework at Wipro
Our framework is based on principles laid out in the four 
globally recognized standards

• Orange Book by UK Government Treasury.

• COSO; Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework

by Treadway Commission

• AS/NS 4360:2004 by AUS/NZ Standards board

• ISO/FDIS 31000:2009 by ISO

We have consciously moved to a system of proactive risk 
management by capturing weak signals and responding to them 
instead of reacting to a crisis. Early identification gives us a wider 
range of options and alternatives to respond effectively and 
efficiently.

Internal Control Systems and their adequacy

Focus on implementation of Intellectual Property risk 
management continued during the year. The controls were 
further subjected to an independent stress testing for assessing 
implementation effectiveness. 

Large Project Risks

Specific models to address risks in business segments/processes 
were rolled out such as, customer credit risk assessment, deal 
risk assessment, etc.

Physical Security & Employee Safety

Employee safety continued as a core focus with enhanced 
measures for transportation process (24*7 operations).

Proactive anti-fraud Initiatives

Rule based anomaly detection systems have been introduced to 
identify exceptions. The control environment has been further 
strengthened during the year with more automated controls. 
Failure modes were comprehensively re-assessed and technology 
solutions were explored and implemented to automate controls.

Climate Change & Sustainability

Awareness & Training

Role based training programs to enhance risk literacy covering 
Intellectual Property practices, information security compliance, 
risk management in large bids, delivery risk management, Foreign 
Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act compliance were 
deployed.  Educational newsletters and case studies were also 
regularly published.

Outlook

We have followed a practice of providing only revenue guidance 
for our largest business segment, namely, IT Services. The 
guidance is provided at the release of every quarterly earnings 
when detailed Revenue outlook for the succeeding quarter is 
shared. Over the years, the Company has performed in line with 
quarterly Revenue guidance.

On April 25, 2012, along with our earnings release for quarter 
ended March 31, 2012, we provided our most recent quarterly 
guidance. Revenue from IT Services segment for the quarter 
ending June 30, 2012 is likely to be ranged between
USD 1,520-1,550 million*.

* Guidance is based on the following exchange rates: GBP/USD 
at 1.58, Euro/USD at 1.31, AUD/USD at 1.07, USD/INR at 50.07.

During the year, we engaged a 3rd party expert firm Det Norske 
Veritas (DNV) to carry out a specific risk assessment of Climate 
Change & Sustainability risks across the organization. Outcome 
of this exercise will be added to the risk inventory for mitigation 
tracking in the current year.

Critical Partner Alliance Risk Management

A Risk Management framework was deployed to assess the
risks in engagement with critical alliance partners. Key risk
indicators such as availability of alternates, financial stability,
and delivery performance were assessed and mitigated.

Code of Business Conduct compliance / governance (Ombuds 
Process)

To augment the current Ombuds (whistle blowing) process at 
Wipro, we rolled out a 24/7 hotline and web support across the 
globe, accessible to employees, partners, clients and all other 
interested parties. Systemic issues identified during Ombuds 
investigations are considered as risks and taken up for mitigation.

Global Economic Conditions

Global Risks 2012 report tabled at World Economic Forum 
(WEF), 2012 listed “Bad Government Balance sheets” as a top 
risk. As a pro-active measure, we developed an Economic risk 
indicator framework with scenario planning and possible 
mitigations.

We continually strive to provide our employees with competitive 
and innovative compensation packages. Our compensation 
packages include a combination of salary, stock options, pension, 
and health and disability insurance. We measure our 
compensation packages against industry standards and seek to 
match or exceed them. We adopted an employee stock purchase 
plan in 1984, employee stock option plan in 1999 and 2000 and 
restricted stock unit option plan in 2004, 2005 and 2007. We 
have devised both business segment performance and individual 
performance linked incentive programs that we believe more 
accurately link performance to compensation for each employee.

Compensation/People practices

Our human resources department is centralized at our corporate 
headquarters in Bangalore and functions across all of our business 
segments. We have implemented corporate-wide recruiting, 
training, performance evaluation and compensation programs that 
are tailored to address the needs of each of our business
segments.

Our relationship with employees and employee groups are based 
on mutual trust and respect and we continue to maintain the same 
spirit at all times. We continue to fulfill all requirements and 
commitments which could arise out of collective bargaining as 
required across various development centers and manufacturing 
facilities and other such agreements in specific geographies across 
Americas, Europe and Asia.

We hire entry level graduates from both the top engineering and 
management universities in India, as well as more experienced 
lateral hires through employee referral programs, advertisements, 
placement consultants, our website postings and walk-ins. To 
facilitate employee growth within the Company, all new openings 
are first offered to our employees. The nature of work, skill sets 
requirements and experience levels are highlighted to the 
employees. Applicants undergo the regular recruitment process 
and, if selected, get assigned to their new roles.

According to Nasscom Strategic Review 2012, Global technology 
spend is expected to grow by 5% in 2012. Worldwide IT Services 
spending is expected to grow 4.3% in 2012 and 4.7% in 2013. The 
growth is fuelled both by use of IT to reduce cost structures as 
well as increased adoption of cloud, mobility, analytics and social 
media. India accounts for less than 5% of the global technology 
spending and this provides a strong headroom for growth of the 
IT-BPO sector in India. 

Worldwide IT spending is forecast to total $3.7 trillion in 2012, a 
2.5 percent increase from 2011, according to the latest outlook 
by Gartner, Inc.

financial  statements  of  each  subsidiary.  In  compliance  with 
the exemption granted, we have presented in page 190 to 192 
summary financial information for each subsidiary.

The detailed financial statements and audit reports of each of the

Wipro’s R&D Activities: 2011–12

Strengthening  the  portfolio  of  Applied  Research,  Centers  of 
Excellence  (CoE),  Customer  Co-innovation,  Cloud,  Mobility, 
Analytics, Solution Accelerators, and Software Engineering Tools 
& Methodologies, have been the focus of Wipro’s Research and 
Development (R & D) activities. 

Applied Research

Wipro’s  focus  on  Inclusive  Innovation  is  aimed  at  discovering 
where and how Information and Communication Technology 
(ICT)  can  address  effective  delivery  of  G2C  and  B2B  services 
to  rural  citizens  in  Education,  Health,  Agriculture,  and  Rural 
Development sectors. 

The Applied Research in Intelligent Systems Engineering (ARISE) 
lab initiative set up this year jointly with IMEC, the world’s leading 
applied research organization in Nano-technology and Nano-
electronics  provides  a  collaborative  platform  for  customers 
to  co-innovate  and  build  affordable  solutions  for  emerging 
market needs. ARISE has started applied research and system 
prototyping  activities  in  two  disruptive  Nano-technologies 
-  Hyper-spectral  imaging  (HSI)  and  Body  area  networks  that 
have  wide-ranging  applications  for  Healthcare,  Insurance, 
Manufacturing and Energy & Utilities customers.

Center of Excellence (COE)

Wipro’s  COE  create  competencies  in  emerging  areas  of 
technology and industry domains and incubate new practices 
for  business  growth.  Big  Data,  Machine  to  Machine,  Natural 
User Experience, Web Science, and Nano electronics were the 
technology  themes  identified  for  the  year  and  Investments 
in  these  technology  themes  have  resulted  in  development 
of  industry  application  prototypes  in  the  area  of  Augmented 
Reality, Sensor Networks and Big Data visualization. 

The  COE  also  created  new  services  in  the  areas  of  Big  Data 
Management,  Application  Performance,  and  Asset Tracking 
solutions  thereby  helping Wipro  establish  partnerships  with 
leading  technology  platform  providers  like  Microsoft,  Cisco, 
EMC, HP, Oracle, Amazon, Salesforce and emerging technology 
startups like Splunk.

Customer Co-Innovation

Wipro was involved in performance tuning for a large project 
for  Government  of  India.  In-depth  consulting  was  provided, 
based on custom Hadoop configuration  with  load  balancing, 
performance  tuning,  proactive  monitoring,  and  replication 
setup. Wipro conducted a detailed study of existing modeling 
and simulation systems used by insurance major and forecast 
a  data  explosion  due  to  the  implementation  of  Solvency  II 
regulatory requirements. We worked closely for a large Indian 
Non-Renewable energy provider in setting up RTU’s connected 
to the Windmills to meet this regulatory need. 

Cloud

Integrated  Cloud  Services  (ICS)  group  was  created  this  year 
to provide end-to-end business solutions to customers using 
cloud technologies. The offers include process-centric solutions 
(Process  transformation  leveraging  SaaS  Applications,  Cloud 
Enabled Process Outsourcing, Cloud Based Business Platforms) 
and technology-centric solutions (Application Transformation 
for  Private  and  Public  Cloud,  Cloud  Based  Infrastructure 
Transformation, Custom Cloud Engineering) and a wide variety 
of service products that align to these solution areas.  The team 
is focused on creating industry relevant vertical cloud solutions 
for the various industries by building a strong value network of 
partners, creating IPs, frameworks, and accelerators.    

Mobility

Wipro Mobility Solutions enables the mobile individual – at work 
and outside. Wipro brings its own IP on business processes and 
application code to help its clients rapidly implement mobile 
solutions,  particularly  in  the  areas  of  sales  force,  customer 
support, and employee benefits management. For enterprises 
looking to reach the mobile customer, we offer remote health 
management,  anywhere TV  and  entertainment,  connected 
home, automobile navigation and entertainment, mobile retail 
and mobile banking solutions.

Analytics

A new Service line ‘Analytics & Information Management’ was 
formed with a view to maximize opportunities in the Analytics 
space.    Big  Data  capabilities  required  by  enterprises  were 
developed  in  data  management  and  processing  areas  like 
Non-relational, No SQL databases, in-memory databases, and 
map-reduce  technologies. We  are  also  creating  a  Big  Data  / 
Appliances Lab-on-Hire to enable Customer POCs. Partnerships 
with  academia  include  collaborations  with  top  universities 
with leading quant programs – Duke University, DePaul, Indian 
Statistical Institute, IIM-B and Carnegie Mellon. 

Solution Accelerators

Wipro continues to invest in reusable IPs/solution accelerators 
(components,  tools,  and  frameworks). We  have  integrated 
various  accelerator  assets  to  create  integrated  stacks  and 
solutions.  Our  Digital TV  broadcast  middleware  reusable  IPs 
(ATSC, OpenCable, Cable Card components for US market; DVB-
T/S/C for Europe; ISDB-T/S for Japan; MHEG-5 etc.) have helped 
DTV  OEMs  reduce  R&D  costs  and  product  development  lead 
time. Today, the stacks have over 30 licensees. 

Some  other  examples  of  integrated  stack  and  solutions  and 
business platforms are: the Wipro Cloud stack, digital marketing 
platform and enterprise grade smart meters, Telco in a Box, and 
Oracle-based Clinical Trials solutions. Wipro has also developed a 
Telehealth solution platform designed around patient centricity, 
device interoperability, open standards for integration with back-
end PHR and decision support tools/systems.

Software Engineering Tools & Methodologies

We are committed to our investments in ‘in-house’ development 
of  software  engineering  tools  to  improve  productivity 
and  quality.  Some  examples  include, Wipro  Requirements 
Management, Wipro Style, Wipro Accelerator, Wipro Unit Test, 
Wipro code checker and Deepcheck. We have also developed 
a  tool  called Wipro  PAT  (Portfolio  Analysis Tool)  in Transition 
area. We have developed a tool for Flex delivery especially for 
Managed Services engagements for effective queue, capacity, 
and productivity management at reduced cost. KEDB (Known 
Error Data Base) Tool on our Knowledge Management platform 
is  another Wipro  developed  tool  that  helps  in  faster  ticket 
resolution in managed services projects. An automated SHINE 
workflow-enabled learning framework was implemented on the 
Knowledge Management platform that reduces the cycle time to 
make new joiners ready for productive deployment on projects.

Patents

In FY 11-12, Wipro has filed for 15 new patents. From the previous 
filings, 10 patents have been granted. Wipro has also submitted 
invention disclosures and has contributed for its client to win 
patent  in  the  pay-TV  services  area  on  techniques  adopted  in 
the middleware architecture. We have bagged two US Patents 
on algorithms/IPs in video post processing.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Responsibility 
Reporting

Wipro’s sustainability reporting articulates our perspective on 
the emerging forces in the global sustainability landscape and 
Wipro’s response on multiple dimensions. For each of the three 
dimensions  of  economic,  ecological  and  social  sustainability, 
we state the possible risks as well as the opportunities that we 
are trying to leverage.

Our fourth ‘Sustainability Report’ for 2010-11 is a comprehensive 
articulation  of  Wipro’s  multiple  initiatives  on  Energy  and 
Greenhouse	Gas	reduction,	Water	Efficiency,	Waste	Management,	
Diversity,  Employee  Engagement,  Customer  Stewardship, 
Education, Community Care and Advocacy. Our report has been 
rated	A+	for	the	fourth	successive	instance	based	on	a	rigorous	
external	 audit	 by	 DNV	 AS,	 the	 globally	 renowned	 provider	
of  sustainability  assurance  services. The  rating  represents 
the  highest  standards  of  transparency  and  completeness  in 
reporting.

The  theme  of  our  sustainability  report  for  2010-11 “The 
imperative	of	hope”	symbolizes	the	pressing	need	for	seeking	
answers to the intractable social and environmental problems 
that the world faces in a spirit of optimism and courage. The 
challenges are so many and so deep rooted that many view them 
with	a	sense	of	resignation	as	part	of	an	existential	dilemma	that	
we can only hope to cope with and not ever resolve.

Your  Company’s  Sustainability  Report  for  2010-11  has  been 
assessed	by	DNV	at	the	A+	level,	which	represents	the	highest	
levels of transparency, coverage and quality of reporting. You 
can	know	more	about	our	sustainability	and	Social	Initiatives	
in  our  website  www.wipro.com/about.wipro/sustainability/
disclosures.aspx.

Your Company’s Sustainability Report for 2011-12, which forms 
part  of  this  Annual  Report  2011-12  includes  the  disclosures 
recommended	 under	 National	Voluntary	 Guidelines	 for	 the	
Social, Environmental and Economic Responsibilities of Business, 
2011	issued	by	the	Ministry	of	Corporate	Affairs,	Government

Shareholders’ Satisfaction Survey

The Company conducted a Shareholders’ Satisfaction survey in 
July	2011	seeking	views	on	various	matters	relating	to	investor	
services.

1,944 shareholders participated and responded to the survey. 
The  analysis  of  the  responses  reflects  an  average  rating  of 
about	4.08	on	a	scale	of	1	to	5.	Around	85%	of	the	shareholders	
indicated that the services rendered by the Company were good 
/excellent	and	were	satisfied.

Information flow to the Board Members

Information	is	provided	to	the	Board	members	on	a	continous	
basis  for  their  information,  review,  inputs  and  approval  from 
time	to	time.	More	specifically,	we	present	our	annual	Strategic	
Plan	and	Operating	Plans	of	our	businesses	to	the	Board	for	their	
review,	 inputs	 and	 approval.	 Likewise,	 our	 quarterly	 financial	
statements and annual financial statements are first presented to 
the Audit committee and subsequently to the Board of Directors 
for	 their	 approval.	 In	 addition	 specific	 cases	 of	 acquisitions,	
important  managerial  decisions,  material  positive/negative 
developments and statutory matters are presented to the Board 
and Committees of the Board for their approval. 

As a system in most cases information to directors is submitted 
along  with  the  agenda  papers  well  in  advance  of  the  Board 
meeting.	Inputs	and	feedback	of	Board	members	are	taken	in	
preparation of agenda and documents for the Board meeting.

We  schedule  meetings  of  our  business  heads  and  functional 
heads  with  the  Directors  prior  to  the  Board  meeting  dates. 
These meetings facilitate Directors to provide their inputs and 
suggestions on various strategic and operational matters directly 
to	the	business	and	functional	heads.	Meeting	with	directors	
enthuse and motivate our business leaders.

Board Meetings

We  decide  on  the  board  meeting  dates  in  consultation  with 
Board	 Governance	 &	 Compensation	 Committee	 and	 all	 our	
directors,  considering  the  practices  of  earlier  years.  Once 
approved	by	the	Board	Governance	&	Nomination	Committee,	
the  schedule  of  the  Board  meeting  and  Board  Committee 
meetings is communicated in advance to the Directors to enable 
them to schedule their meetings. 

Our Board met four times in the financial year 2011-12, on April 
25-27	2011,	July	19-20	2011,	October	30-31,	2011	and	January	
18-20,2012.

Our Board meetings are normally scheduled for two days. The 
gap	between	two	meetings	did	not	exceed	four	months.

The necessary quorum was present for all the meetings.

Post-meeting follow-up system

After the board meetings, we have a formal system of follow up, 
review and reporting on actions taken by the management on 
the decisions of the Board and sub-committees of the Board.

FOURTH  LAYER:  GOVERNANCE  OF  THE  MANAGEMENT 
PROCESS

Corporate Executive Council of the Company (CEC)

The  day-to-day  management  is  vested  with  the  CEC  of  the 
Company  comprising  of  Business  and  Functional  heads  who 
work  under  the  overall  superintendence  and  control  of  the

The list of CEC members is given below:

(ii)	 Suresh	Senapaty,	CFO	and	Executive	Director	

(iii)	 T.K.	Kurien,	CEO	(IT	Business)	and	Executive	Director	

Likewise,	under	this	policy,	we	have	prohibited	discrimination,	
retaliation  or  harassment  of  any  kind  against  any  employees 
who,  based  on  the  employee’s  reasonable  belief  that  such

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In	1983,	we	articulated	‘Wipro	Beliefs’	consisting	of	six	statements.

At the core of beliefs was integrity articulated as

•	

Our	 individual	 and	 Company	 relationship	 should	 be	
governed by the highest standard of conduct and integrity. 

Over years, this articulation has evolved in form but remained 
constant in substance. Today we articulate it as Code of Business 
Conduct and Ethics.

In	our	company,	the	Board	of	Directors	and	all	employees	have	
a responsibility to understand and follow the Code of Business 
Conduct.	 All	 employees	 are	 expected	 to	 perform	 their	 work	
with honesty and integrity. Wipro’s Code of Business Conduct 
reflects general principles to guide employees in making ethical 
decisions. This  code  is  also  applicable  to  our  representatives. 
The Code outlines fundamental ethical considerations as well 
as  specific  considerations  that  need  to  be  maintained  for 
professional  conduct. This  Code  has  been  displayed  on  the 
Company’s  website.  www.wipro.com/corporate/investors/ 
corporate-governance.

The	Chairman	has	affirmed	to	the	Board	of	Directors	that	this	
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been complied by the 
Board	members	and	Senior	Management.

Introductory Context
this section provides a detailed overview of Wipro’s                     
sustainability program -  its constituent dimensions, 
vision, goals and progress as of March 31st 2012. While 
we have been publishing  a comprehensive  sustainability 
report for four years now, this is the first instance that 
we are including a sustainability overview as part of our 
Annual Financial Report.

our sustainability Report is based on the AA1,000 
standard and the GRi framework  - based on which, 
our reports have been consistently rated A+ four 
times in succession, representing the highest levels 
of transparency and depth of reporting. in preparing 
this overview, while drawing from our GRi reporting 
experience, we have largely aligned it with the ‘national 
Voluntary Guidelines (nVGs) on the social, environmental 
and economic responsibilities of Business” drafted  by the 
Ministry of Corporate Affairs. 

i. For details of the NVGs, please refer  http://www.iica.
in/images/MCA_NVG_BOOKLET.pdf. A summary 
articulation of the nine principles of Responsible Business 
under the nVG framework is available in the annexure at 
the end of this section           

ii. Our Sustainability Reports can be viewed and 
downloaded at www.wipro.com/about-wipro/
sustainability/sustainability-disclosures.aspx 

  Why Disclose:  

We believe that sustainability disclosures carry 
value for both, the stakeholders at which they are 
targeted and for the reporting organization.  For the 
stakeholder, it provides a consistent and logical basis 
to understand the organization’s vision, commitment 
and progress on the principal ecological, social and 
economic indicators. A company’s thinking and actions 
on sustainability is increasingly seen as a proxy for its 
long term orientation and longevity. For the reporting 
organization, disclosures provide a valuable platform to 
engage with its stakeholders  and to use it as a catalyst 
for continuous improvement.  We believe that  including 
this sustainability overview section in our Annual Report 
will provide us with a far larger scale of reach with 
our investors, customers and other key stakeholders ; 
we hope that this will lead on to a richer platform for  
engaging with our stakeholders which will provide us 
with valuable insights and inputs into our sustainability 
program.

  Scope: 

the scope of this report covers  all of Wipro’s business 
-  unless mentioned otherwise -  and is for the financial 
year 2011-12 . 

the content for this section is driven by the twin 
pillars of stakeholder inclusiveness  and  Materiality 
Determination i.e. ‘Who are our stakeholders’ and ‘What 
issues are material to them’

For our materiality determination framework, please 
refer to our last sustainability Report for 2010-11.  there 
are no significant changes  from the seventeen principal 
sustainability dimensions mentioned in the report.

the principal sustainability topics covered in this report 
and their mapping to corresponding  nVG principles are 
shown in the diagrammatic representation below

stakeholder engagement
(Aligned to principle 4 of the nVG guidelines)

Management Approach:  
At Wipro, we have always viewed our Customers, 
employees and investors as strategic partners and 
stakeholders. over the last decade, our programs in 
education and community care has brought us in close 
engagement with two new stakeholders – partners in 
the education ecosystem and  proximate Communities. 
While the it services industry model does not

of this sector in the last two decades has resulted 
in a variety of ancillary services e.g. bus transport,

role in the success of our Green Computing journey.  

 Wipro has been engaging closely with Government 
and industry networks on matters related to energy, 
water, e-waste and  education policy. simultaneously, 
we also have collaborative partnerships with Research 
and Academic institutions. to these seven stakeholders, 
we have , by deliberate design, identified another 
stakeholder, Current and Future  generations. We think 
that the future must inform our thinking and actions 
on sustainability more than anything else, as otherwise 
our vision will stop short of being truly sustainable; 
therefore, while this stakeholder group may not have a 
tangible and real face to it, they act as an anchor for all 
our decisions.

Corporate Governance
(Aligned to principle  1 of the nVG guidelines)

An organization’s license to operate in the long run is dependent 
on the soundness of its governance and management practices.

Sustainability Governance
sustainability is integral to Wipro’s vision and outlook ;  
this is reflected in the commitment and engagement  with 
sustainability issues by Wipro’s leadership team, starting from 
our Chairman. the Chief sustainability officer (Cso) who carries 
overarching responsibility for our sustainability charter reports 
to the chairman and is part of the Corporate executive Council, 
the senior most executive body in the organization.  in addi-
tion, we have constituted a  sustainability Council that provides 
direction and reviews progress on our sustainability goals. the 
council includes the Ceos of the it, Consumer Care and lighting 
and the infrastructure engineering businesses, the Cso and the 
global heads of Human Resources, operations, Marketing, talent 
transformation, Recruitment, Risk Management , Diversity and 
sustainability. the council meets once a quarter and its charter 
includes all dimensions of corporate responsibility.

For other details on Corporate Governance – including 
the governance structure, mechanisms, composition of 
board, board sub-committees, etc - please refer to the 
Corporate Governance section of this report.

  Code of Business Conduct 

 Wipro has a corporation wide Code of Business Conduct 
& ethics (CoBCe) that sets both, the broad direction 
and specific guidelines for all business transactions. the 
emphasis is on human rights, prevention of fraudulent 
and corrupt practices, freedom of association, elimination 
of child and forced labor, advertisement and media 
policy, avoidance of conflict of interest, prevention of 
sexual harassment and unyielding integrity at all times. 
the CoBCe contains guidelines for all business practices 
and is applicable to all employees, contractors and 
consultants. the complete code can be accessed at www.
wipro.com/corporate/investors/ corporate-governance.
htm. the CoBCe is socialized at multiple points of an 
employee’s lifecycle - it is first covered as part of the 
induction program of new hires and subsequently, every 
employee has to take an online test annually to assert his 
familiarity with the tenets of the CoBCe. We have a zero 
tolerance policy for non compliance with the CoBCe, 
especially on non-negotiable factors - e.g. child labor, 
anti-corruption etc.

  The Ombuds-process

Having a robust whistleblower policy that employees and 
other stakeholders can use without fear or apprehension 
is a sine non qua for a transparent and ethical company. 
Wipro’s  
ombuds-process is designed to be this and more. it 
allows and encourages any affected stakeholder to report 
breaches of the CoBCe and any other matter of integrity 
to the concerned ombuds-person.

in Wipro, our Chief Risk officer is also the Chief ombuds-
person who works with designated ombuds-person in 
each Bu.  
the process ensures confidential and anonymous 
submissions regarding (i) questionable accounting 
or auditing matters, the conduct of which results in a 
violation of law by Wipro or  
(ii) substantial mismanagement of company resources  
(iii) Any instance of sexual harassment or any other form 
of discrimination (iv) Any violation of human rights as 
articulated in the CoBCe and as per the principles of the 
u.n.Global Compact.   in 2011-12, the ombuds portal has 
been upgraded with a 24/7 multi-lingual hotline facility 
for ease of access in logging  
concerns as well as access via web at www.wipro.com.   

in 2011-12, a total of 728 complaints were received via 
the ombudsprocess and the resolution percentage of 
cases as of March 2012 was 92%.

Human Capital -  
people engagement at Wipro
(Aligned to principle 3, 4 and 5 of the nVG guidelines)

Management Approach:  
Doing good begins at home. We believe that the global 
standards that we embrace as a corporation must translate 
into our actions as an employer. these standards are 
incorporated in meeting the strategic drivers that shape 
our people practices and processes. ours is a global 
knowledge workforce that offers high end solutions to a 
global customer audience. in this context drivers such as 
engagement, learning and empowerment are integral to 
building a world class workforce. Core values of the spirit 
of Wipro and the CoBCe create a global foundation for a 
free and fair workplace for employees across all countries 
and businesses. At the same time, our practices are broad 
and flexible in integrating local regulatory and cultural 
flavors. our practices in wellbeing and health, learning 
and development and Diversity are influenced by globally 
accepted standards set applied to operational contexts.  
All our efforts point towards creating and nurturing a 
workplace characterized by freedom, fairness and world-
class practices. 

  engagement and empowerment

employee engagement is an inclusive and empowering 
platform that connects employees with leaders as well 
as peer groups. Forums such as company level Wipro 
Meets, Business unit level All Hands Meets and Regional 
meets are interactive platforms for sharing information, 
voicing feedback and conferring reward and recognition. 
Webcasts and web-chats also form a regular channel of 
engagement between senior leaders or subject Matter 
experts (sMes) and employees. A host of newsletters 
are created internally by respective functions to keep 
Wiproites abreast of latest developments and initiatives. 
information on people policies and practices are made 
available to all employees on the company intranet 
portal; revisions to policies are updated regularly as well. 
During 2011-12, several policies 

Wipro was among the top 3 in the 2012 Business today list 
of Best Companies to work for in india.

and processes were simplified as part of the ‘simplify’ 
initiative, to improve employees’ experience.

At Wipro, we respect employees’ right to form or participate 
in trade unions. less than 1% of our employees in the it 
business are part of registered trade unions. these are a 
section of employees in europe, Brazil, Mexico and Australia. 
We also have Work Councils in France and Germany. Collective 
Bargaining Agreements are entered into with trade unions 
in Finland and Brazil. the HR function meets these groups 
every month to consult on any changes that can impact work 
environment and terms and conditions.

one significant source of employee feedback and opinion, 
globally, is the employee perception survey (eps). the eps is 
held once every 2 years and covers various themes that are 
material to employees -Culture, Manager Quality, Role, Work 
environment, leadership and the spirit of Wipro values. in 
the eps 2011, Diversity, team, social Responsibility, Customer 
Focus and Values were the 5 top-rated drivers of engagement.  
the areas of improvement on which we are focusing 
are career growth, development linked to role, greater 
communication around Wipro’s strategic direction.

in 2011, in order to more directly embed employee feedback 
into organizational action, the employee Advocacy Group 
(eAG) was created. the eAG is formed of volunteers who come 
together as peers, as a steering group. the eAG works on two 
specific areas: 
channelizing feedback on existing policies and practices, and 
reviewing new policies before launch, wherever feasible. 

At Wipro, we believe in the power of appreciation; recognizing 
performance and valuable contribution is a part of our 
organizational DnA. Quarterly, half yearly and annual reward 
events are held across businesses and geographies to 
recognize stellar accomplishments. in 2011, the Winners Circle 
reward and recognition framework was launched. 

partner employees
Across it businesses, contract employees with specific 
skills are deployed in projects. skilled contract employ-
ment is a leverage point for technology firms globally; it 
creates value as well as flexibility, for clients and talented 
individuals alike. At Wipro, our people supply chain is a key 
value enabler, for various critical business and functional 

processes. Contract workforce is an integral part of vari-
ous projects across it business. Across locations, contract 
workforce is engaged in key functions such as security, 
Housekeeping and other essential support functions. our 
total contract workforce is around 25,000, and covers both 
skilled and support services. 
A unique example of enhancing people supply chain value 
is the partner employee engagement team (peet) in one 
of our service lines, which alone employs over 10,000 
skilled contract employees. the partner engagement 
team is a dedicated human resource team that manages 
engagement, learning & development, performance man-
agement and reward & recognition for contract employ-
ees. this practice was initiated in 2010-11 and since then 
has yielded  
tangible results in terms of higher retention as well as 
higher engagement of contract workforce. in 2011-12, the 
partner employee engagement practice was recognized as 
one of 8 most impactful practices at the nHRD HR show-
case event at Bangalore.

the Winner’s Circle is comprehensive and people-friendly; 
it brings together all types of rewards under a single point-
based framework. Winners earn reward ‘points’ and have a 
wide choice of prizes to redeem their points. 

Details of our employee metrics for the it business are 
provided in ‘Management Discussion & Analysis’ section of the 
report.

Free and Fair workplace 
Wipro is an equal opportunity employer and remains 
committed to the highest standards of openness, probity 
and accountability. the Code of Business Conduct & 
ethics (CoBC&e) defines our commitment and actions as a 
meritocracy and equal  
opportunity employer. All decisions regarding hiring, learning 
opportunity, salary, compensation and separation are based 
on merit and performance. We are committed to non-
discrimination on any grounds, such as nationality or ethnic 
origin, gender, race, religion, caste, disability, political or 
sexual orientation.  
We strongly believe that this commitment reinforces  
a progressive and high-performing culture at work. 

Compliance with basic employment norms such as adherence 
to minimum wage standards, statutory benefits and timely 
wage payment have been maintained without any defaults 
for the reporting period across our businesses. suppliers and 
third party

employment agreements also include contractual obliga-
tions to fulfill these employment norms.

  Health and Well being

Wipro promotes and adheres to a cohesive and holistic 
approach to the well being of its employees - including 
physical, emotional and mental well being. Work-life 
balance at Wipro is perceived not just as a time share 
between work and home but rather as a focus on all 
aspects governing ‘life’ for all employees, irrespective 
of gender or any other factor. We view employees as 
complete individuals and hence our practices to promote 

safety, health, emergency response and overall wellness 
are frequently revised based on regulations, industry 
trends and employee feedback. this approach is reflected 
in our workplace security administration, prevention and 
mitigation of health and safety hazards, comprehensive 
medical policies and numerous initiatives on fitness, 
nutrition and emotional wellbeing. employees actively 
support and participate in these initiatives, thereby mak-
ing them relevant and successful. 15 of our locations, 
covering 70% of our workforce, are certified for oHsAs 
18001:2007 (occupational health and safety assessment 
series)

  Learning and Development at Wipro

At Wipro, learning and development is an integral part of 
the work culture and takes place in many different ways. 
structured learning takes place via classroom training 
and online e-learning. every employee has an individual 
learning plan that addresses individual learning needs 
through the integrated talent Management system 
(itMs) portal, which is a vast repository of over 17,961 
e-learning titles, spread over 3,520 courses.  soft 
skill training inputs are linked to the performance 
Management system and are customized to each role 
within Wipro. the range of training spans technical, 
domain, process and behavioural training. the pioneering 
WAse program (Wipro Academy of softwareexcellence) 
was launched in 1995. the WAse program consists of an 
8-semester (four years) off - campus collaborative Ms 
program with the Birla institute of technology & science 
(Bits), pilani (Rajasthan, india). students receive technical 
and academic inputs as well as the opportunity to apply 
their learning in live projects. 

WASE: 3,143 students joined in 2011-12

WiSTA:  400 students joined in the first year of the 
program in 11-12

TEC: 2,000 employees benefitted

  WistA (Wipro software technology Academy) is the 
latest entrant in Wipro’s training repertoire. WistA is 
a new, work-integrated M.s. program in information 
technology for science graduates with non-mathematics 
disciplines. it is structured along similar lines as WAse, in 
collaboration with Vit university, Vellore (tamil nadu). 
last year also witnessed the launch of talent enrichment 
Centers (teCs). teCs enable employees to upgrade their 
skills, spend minimal in-between projects and find the 
right assignments.

the key focus of 2011- 2012 has been to build capabilities 
in realm of program Management, Architecture and 
Delivery Management which have been identified as 
key distinguishing capabilities for Wipro. We believe 
this will help us partner with our clients in their 
business transformation initiatives. this includes the 
Architect Career essentials (ACe) framework launched in 
october 2011 and the unified Competency Framework 
for technical competency building. At the middle 
management level, the Delivery Manager Academy offers 
individualized development where Delivery Managers are 

entrusted with driving growth, operational efficiencies, 
customer relationships and people engagement. Global 
program excellence Group has also been formed under 
Global transformation office to assess, develop and 
deploy program managers.

At Wipro, leadership development is a strong, 
institutionalized process that comprises lifecycle 
programs and customized interventions to build leaders 
at all levels. every year, all leaders above the middle 
management grade receive 360-degree feedback on 
the Wipro leaders’ Qualities (WlQs). the qualities are 
periodically revised to keep aligned to current and 
emerging business realities. in 2011, the WlQs underwent 
revision and the revised qualities are centered on the 
twin pillars of Client and people. 2012 

During 2011-12, it business employees across levels 
benefited from over 7,500 programs. these programs 
included over 5,000 technical and domain skill building, 
over 1,000 functional, operational and quality process 
orientation, and over 1,000 behavioural and leadership 
development programs.

For a global organization such as ours, talent and 
workforce diversity is a key success factor. We believe in 
treating all people with respect and dignity. Managing 
diversity not only makes us more creative, flexible, 
productive and competitive but also promotes innovation 
and business success. our focus on Diversity and 
inclusion has gathered significant momentumover the 
last four years and today it is seen as a key aspect of our 
work culture and ethos. Wipro’s diversity charter focuses 
on four primary pillars: Gender, nationalities, persons with 
Disabilities and people from underprivileged sections of 
society.

the Women of Wipro program is a strategic business 
enabler for Wipro. the objectives of Women of Wipro 
are to improve retention of women employees, facilitate 
an increased talent pipeline of women leaders at senior 
levels, and develop Wipro as an equal opportunity 
employer. Women of Wipro has been instrumental in the 
launch of numerous programs , more notable of which 
are the Women in leadership workshops which help 
understand and address the issues and dilemmas often 
faced	by	successful	career	women	and	the	“Mentoring	
for success” program for high-potential women in middle 
management. 

• Gender: 

persons with disability voluntarily declare their disability 
through a self identification Form ensuring complete 
transparency. During in 2011-12, 150 persons declared 
their disability via this form.  We have also introduced a 
Reasonable Accommodation policy, to enable managers 
and HR teams in providing an inclusive environment. 
other interventions include an e-learning module on 
Diversity and inclusion which has been completed by 
over 7,000 employees as on March 2012. An emergency 
evacuation preparedness program for persons with 
disabilities was initiated in 2011-12 at Bangalore, Kolkata 
and Chennai. At the close of 2011-12, we had over 350 
persons with disability working in different roles, across 
geographies.

  Wipro was presented the 2011 ‘NASSCOM 

Corporate Award’ as the Best IT services & Product 
Company for Excellence in Gender Inclusivity

“Women helping Women” category award at the 
8th Annual stevie Awards for Women in Business

in 2009, Wipro introduced a comprehensive framework 
designed to aid the inclusion and a high degree of 
contribution by employees with disabilities who 
worked with Wipro. this laid the foundation to welcome 
more people with disability into Wipro. We believe 
that an inclusive environment facilitates employment 
as well as career building for persons with disability. 
the framework focuses on 6 areas - people policies, 
Accessible infrastructure, Accessibleinformation systems, 
Recruitment, training and Awareness. this includes 
enabling infrastructural changes in existing and new 
premises, such as addition of hand rails, ramps, lifts, 
designated parking spaces, customized workstations and 
also technology assistance in terms of modified laptops, 
voice activated programs and other assistive applications. 

the key tenets of human rights and labor practices 
as articulated in the CoBCe are also applied across 
our manufacturing setups (Consumer Care& lighting 
and Wipro infrastructure - Win). in Win, 38% of our 
total workforce is non- indian. As a demonstration 
of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, Win 
manufacturing has started employing women and 
people with hearing impairment on the shop floor in the 
Chennai plant. in collaboration with the Directorate of 
employment and training we have made efforts to ensure 
that appropriate training, safety and other enabling 
infrastructure is provided. Recruitment drives are 
conducted in collaboration with Vocational Rehabilitation 
Centre to extend opportunities to people with disabilities.

ecological sustainability
(Aligned to principle 6 of the nVG guidelines)

Management Approach:  
ecological sustainability is a cornerstone of our charter 
and a major driver of many of our key programs, 
internal and external. Hitherto, resource efficiency – 
materials, energy, water -, waste management and  
pollution mitigation have been the principal levers of 
any corporate organization’s environmental program.  
But this has changed in the last few years ; with the 
increasing centrality of issues like climate change and 
water stress, organizations have come to realize that 
externalizing the costs of ecological damage is a poor 
idea in the long run.

  our program is built on five pillars : energy efficiency 

and GHG mitigation,  Water efficiency and responsible 
use, Waste management, Biodiversity and product 
Responsibility. We present a progress update on the 
first four in this sub-section with the last dimension 
being covered in the next sub-section.

  Scope of Reporting:

India: 67 locations, the majority of operations is from 27 
owned locations representing 88% of our workforce.

Overseas:  85 locations, which includes 8 customer data 
centers. nearly all of the office locations overseas are 
leased.

  Management system 

We have been following the guidelines of the iso 14001 
framework for more than a decade now as one of the 
cornerstones of our environmental Management system 
(eMs). 20 of our campus sites in india are certified to the 
standards of iso 14001:2004.

Goal(s)
to Reduce the scope 1 and scope 2 GHG intensity 
of Wipro’s operations by 50% over a 4 year period : 
from 2.6 Mt per employee in 2010-11 to 1.3 Mt per 
employee by 2014-15, translating into a net reduction 
of nearly 60,600 tons at the Wipro ltd level. this target 
applies to all of ourcampus facilities and offices

note: For scope 3 emissions – these  comprise emission 
sources that are not in our direct sphere of control 
- while we have a strong baseline measurement in 
place, we are in the process of expanding the sources 
to be included under this scope as per the new GHG 
Corporate Value Chain (scope 3) Accounting and 
Reporting standard. We will complete this exercise 
by end-2012 and simultaneously establish goals for 
reduction that are appropriate for this category

Business travel and commute each contribute to 20% of 
the total emissions profile for the india it business

the 11% reduction in GHG emissions intensity for the 
reporting year as compared to 2010-11 has been driven 
by  two key contributory factors:

• 

energy efficiency measures contributed  to a 4% 
decrease in energy intensity per employee. this is 
due to energy optimization measures, replacement 
of some older equipment with more energy 
efficient equipment and consolidation of operations 
accompanied by a transition from leased to owned 
facilities  with the  resulting increase in overall 
utilization of office space.

•  We have used separate grid emission factors (from 
Central electricity Authority) based on locations of 
our operations; for south india operations we have 
used 0.75 Kg/KwH while for other regions we have 
used 0.80 kg/KwH. the undifferentiated emission 
factor in 2010 was 0.79 kg/KwH. the emission factor 
for south used is 5% lower than the grid emission 
factor used for 2010-11.  this is a more accurate 
representation of our GHG emissions.

  office Space energy Metrics 

  GHG Mitigation Strategy

the total energy consumption, electricity and back-
up diesel generated, for office spaces across all global 
operations in it is 319 Mn units.  Data centers, india and 
overseas (usA and Germany) contribute to another 75 Mn 
units. Considering the significant change in our energy 
efficiency consumption profile due to data centers, we 
report energy and emissions intensity for office spaces 
and data centers separately. 

the emissions intensity per employee and per area (floor 
space) for office facilities is shown below. Against a per 
employee annual emission target of 2.2 tons for 11-12, we 
are at 2.34.

  energy efficiency: 

over the preceding five year period, we have 
implemented a variety of energy efficiency  measures 
e.g. we were one of the early adopters of Green Building 
Design with 18 of our current buildings certified to the 
international leeD standard ( silver, Gold, platinum) . 

since 2007, we have been working on a server 
rationalization and virtualization program, through 
which we have decommissioned old physical servers 
and replaced the processing capacity with virtualization 
technology on fewer numbers of servers. As of March 
2012, we have 800 virtual servers running on 120 
physical servers - contributing to an energy savings of 
approximately 3 Million units annually.

the above  measures have resulted in  a cumulative 
energy intensity reduction of around 20%. 

  Re procurement: 

For the reporting period of 2011-12, we procured 55 Mn 
units of Renewable energy through the ppAs  (power 
purchase agreements) with private producers, which 
amounts to approximately 17% of our total office space 
energy consumption  in the it business.  

  Captive Re: 

We implemented two pilot installations of  solar pV  of 
100 KW each in our Kolkata and Chennai campuses ; this 
is combination with our extensive  use of solar water 
heaters in our guest blocks and cafeterias have resulted in 
a cumulated savings of 1.6 Mn units of electricity.

  Remote collaboration and mobile productivity 

enablers 
the it services outsourcing model require frequent 
travel to customer locations , mainly overseas, across 
the delivery life cycle and contributes to around 20% of 
our overall emissions footprint. over the years, we have 
launched  various remote collaboration and workstation 
productivity solutions, like internet enabled voice and 
video conferencing technologies and accessibility of 
intranet based applications over internet.    this has 
resulted in a 30% increase in the use of web meeting 
technologies (like Microsoft live meeting and Webex). 
our conservative estimates show an emissions savings of 
over 30,000 tons. 

  Water: Intensity and Recycling Ratio 

At Wipro, we view water from the three inter-related 
lens of Conservation, Responsibility and security; our 
articulated goals are therefore predicated on these three 
dimensions.

Goal(s): To improve water efficiency (Fresh water use 
per employee) by 5% year on year

Water 
efficiency

•	 Responsible	Sourcing	-	To	
ensure responsible water 
manage ment in proximate 
communities, especially in 
locations that are prone to 
water scarcity

Water
security

Water
Responsibility

•	 Recognizing	water	availability	as	a	business	risk,	to	
proactively assess and plan for the water security of 
the organization in a manner that is congruent with 
the above two goals.

  Water is withdrawn from four sources - ground water, 

municipal water supplies, private purchase and rain 
water utilization - with the first two sources accounting 
for nearly 65% of the sourced water. the majority of the 
balance 35% is from private sources near our operations. 
the water supplied by the municipal bodies and the 
industrial association are sourced by them in turn from 
river or lake systems. our water that is purchased from 
private sources can be traced to have been extracted 
from ground water. 

the per employee water consumption for the reporting 
year is 1.71 m3 per month (as compared to 1.81 in 
2010-11). We recycle 1,032,050 m3 of water in 23 of our 
major locations, (872,880 for 21 locations in 2010-11) 
using sewage treatment plants (stps), which represents 
33% of the total water consumed. the percentage 
of this recycled water as a percentage of freshwater 
extracted is around 50%. We are continuously exploring 
better metering of our water infrastructure (input and 
consumption points). A significant proportion of the 
water data is based on water balance derivations and not 
actual readings.

sourcing of water is a complex interplay of various 
socio-economic factors at various levels - organization, 
community, catchment area and the city. Hence a multi-
stakeholder approach to water management is crucial. 
While government agencies and the public sector have 
been important players in water till now, there are enough 
case studies from across the world that illustrates the 
critical importance of community management in water. 
With the objective of improving our own understanding 
of the socio-economic context of our sourcing of 
water and acting upon it, we have commissioned a 
comprehensive study to explore these areas at two of our 
large locations in Bangalore and Chennai.

the study, to be completed in 2012, will serve as a 
reference template for Wipro to form an informed 
understanding of the water scenario in the other 
locations that it operates in. the study could also play a 
role in larger advocacy across government, utility service 
providers and business.

  Biodiversity:

nature provides us the best illustration of why diversity 
is critical;  for it is well understood now that  biodiversity 
or the plurality of species is crucial to human well 
being - from providing new sources of medical cures to 
preserving climate integrity and providinglivelihoods to 
millions. We think therefore  that the business sector must 
get involved much more in the issues of biodiversity.

As an organization with large campuses in urban 
settings, we are acutely conscious ofour responsibility 
on this front and have set for ourselves the following 
goals.

•	 To	convert	five	of	our	existing	campuses	to	

biodiversity zones by 2015. 

•	 All	new	campuses	will	incorporate	biodiversity	

principles into their design

our first biodiversity project was initiated at our 
electronic City campus inpartnership with AtRee, a 
globally renowned biodiversity institution (www.atree.
org) in 2010-11. the first phase of the project - a butterfly 
park and herbal garden - will get completed by March 
2013. 

  pollution and Waste:

Goal(s):  To ensure 95% of total waste is recycled/
reused by  
2013	-	i.e.		Less	than	5%	is	disposed	through	landfills.

pollution of air and water poses one of the most serious 
threats to community health and welfare. our waste  
management strategies are centered around either 

•  recycling the waste for further use or

•	 arranging for safe disposal. to operationalize our 

strategy, we follow robust processes of segregating  
waste into organic, inorganic,e-waste, hazardous, 
packaging, Bio medical and other categories, which is 
then either recycled inhouse or through outsourced 
vendor 

83% of the total waste from our it india operations is 
recycled -through both,  in-house recycling units and 

through authorized vendor tie-ups.  A majority of the 
balance mixed solid waste is also handled through 
authorized vendors - however its trail is not entirely 
known to us and hence we have classified it as untreated 
waste. in 2012-13, we are initiating a comprehensive 
waste audit at key locations by an external agency  - the 
audit will help us  verify our processes and get insights 
into improving our recycling ratio.

  We continually assess operational risks to the 

environment and apply the precautionary principle in 
our approach to get insights and plan - for example, the 
responsible water use study and waste life cycle audits to 
be completed in 2012-13. in the reporting period, there 
were no instances of environmental fines imposed or 
negative consequences due to our operations.

  Consumer Care and Lighting

Although a formal program was started in 2011-12, over 
the past couple of years, aspects of sustainability are 
ingrained in many resource and operational efficiency, 
health and safety, labor relations and community 
initiatives across the manufacturing locations. . there 
have been targeted  reductions in  the water and 
electricity consumption apart from the increased use  
the use of recycled water in the factory premises. All our 
manufacturing units have rain water harvesting facilities. 
the CClG business has been reporting resource use 
(energy, water, waste) as part of key disclosures, like the 
Carbon Disclosure project for the past three years. 

Consumer Care and Lighting goals on Energy, Water and 
Waste

•  energy: 10% reduction over last year for both lighting and 

consumer care units

•  Water: Reduce fresh water consumption by 5% yoy. . 

Recycling/Reuse water:  From 12% to 20% of fresh water 
consumption in lighting and from 7% to 15% of fresh water 
in soaps (metrics arrived based on rule of thumb)

•  Waste: 100% disposal of hazardous waste through pollution 

control board certified agencies.  For non-hazardous 
categories, we will reduce percentage waste going to 
landfills by 5% yoy.

  Wipro Infrastructure engineering (WIN): 

energy conservation, material conservation through 
redesigning of products and processes have been part of 
Win’s quality and environmental management systems. 
All manufacturing locations of Win are iso14001 certified. 
there is zero discharge of waste water across all plant 
locations.

Value Chain sustainability
(Aligned to Principle  2 and Principle 9 of the NVG 
guidelines)

Management Approach: 
in the globalised world of markets for services and 
products, the networks for resources, skills and 
manufacturing locations are increasingly multi-tiered 
and interlinked. the environmental and social footprint 
of products and services is therefore spread across 
these many layers and carry different degrees of risks.  
it becomes the responsibility of the primary producer 
of services and products therefore to  exercise varying 
degrees of influence and control on its value chain. 

in our sustainability vision and thinking, we recognize the 
centrality of going beyond our organization’s boundaries 
and of working with all important stakeholders in the value 
chain - suppliers, customers, contractors, service providers 
etc. 

our customer stewardship program consists of multiple 
pillars - the Green Computing initiative, the Green Data 
Center program, the it for Green portfolio of software 
solutions and custom solutions in Green Buildings and 
Clean energy.  in our lighting division, our portfolio 
includes a range of CFl and leD lights. Apart from 
health products, we continue to look for innovations 
which promote consumer well being across our product  
portfolio. For more details on our customer solutions 
portfolio,	please	refer	to	the	“Customer	Stewardship”	
section of our last sustainability Report 2010-11 

started in 2007, we have been pioneers in Green 
Computing  with mature programs on the three pillars 
of energy efficiency, toxics elimination and extended 
producer Responsibility for e-waste. 

our supplier Responsibility program is more recent : in 
2011-12, we initiated a environmental and social Risk 
profiling of our top 100 suppliers in the Computers and it 
services division. We will use this as a foundation to create 
a strong program on supplier responsibility from 2012-13 
onwards

It Services
in it services, our predominant suppliers are utility 
providers, telecom, it infrastructure and support services 
like hospitality, catering and transportation.  An example 
of the  collaborative approach that we adopt with our 
service providers is the successful partnership with the 
local transport authority in Bengaluru that has resulted in 
significant benefits for employees, local community and 
the environment. 

Another unique example is a study that we initiated 
in 11-12 to explore the development of a Responsible 
Water use framework - this  involves interaction with local 
authorities and water supply chain stakeholders.

Recognizing the socio-economic benefits of local 
procurement, we encourage sourcing from the local 
economy. Aligned to the leeD standards, nearly 50% of 
the construction materials is sourced locally.

At an aggregate level , nearly 88% of our supplier 
base is based in india which translated into 73% of the 
procurement  by value for the reporting year.

  We have also started an exercise in consolidating our 
supply chain base in order  to make our engagement 
more focused and meaningful. in Fy13, we will also be 
launching our supplier engagement program on esG 
principles with a select group of suppliers.

  Wipro expects its suppliers to adhere to similar standards 
of ethics and integrity as for itself. specific clauses in the 
CoBCe require our suppliers to adhere to  the ethical 
and responsible principles governing child labor, forced 
labor, discrimination, fraud and anti-corruption. We have 
zero tolerance for breaches of fundamental human rights  
principles and on bribery and anti-corruption with a 
resultant terminaton of any supplier found guilty of such 
breaches.

our ombuds process is available 24X7 (online and 
through specified contact numbers) for supplier s and 
contractors to report any breach of code of conduct 
by Wipro employees. in 2011-12, we have launched a 
multilingual 24X7 call center. During 2011-12, there were 
25 instances of suppliers who were found in breach of 
the CoBCe, subsequent to which we terminated and 
blacklisted 6. For the balance 19 - where the breaches 
were not serious- limited actions were taken along with 
counseling and warnings.

life cycle sustainability in our personal computing 
business is based based on the three pillars of 
energy management, chemicals management and 
waste (end of lifecycle) management. All our new 
product launches are energy star 5 (as per u.s. epA 
standards) enabled. in india, Bee Ver 1.0 (equivalent 
to es 5) is a new energy rating system for laptops 
and all 4 laptop models introduced in the reporting 
period are compliant with Bee guidelines. over the 
years, we have developed successful partnerships 
to procure computing components that meet and 
exceed RoHs (Restriction on Hazardous substances) 
guidelines. Across all the customer shipments that 
were made during 11-12, RoHs compliance stood at 
around 99.7%, with the small portion explainable on 
account of  customer specified components. We have 
also	launched	a	few	models	as	part	of	our	“Beyond	
RoHs” program with the aim to offer pVC and BFR 
free products. We are fully geared up to meet the 
new e-waste guidelines and are working closely with 
stakeholders to ensure compliance. 

Customer communication on health and safety 
aspects is a key aspect of our sustainability program. 
instructions on our end-of-life disposal program 
are added in all shipments. our take-back program 
for end of life desktops and laptops is an industry 
first in india. Across the country there are 17 
collection centers. in 2011-12, we collected 229 tons 
of e-waste. All products follow required eMi/eMC 
(electromagnetic interference) regulations.  Desktop 
Monitors (18.5 and 20 inch models) are tCo certified - 
which cover aspects of ergonomics and user centered 
design.  instructions on safe disposal and recyclability 
are mentioned on the carton and individual 
accessories.  the installation failure trend, which 
measures hard failures in the first month of product 
use, is one of the lowest in the industry at 0.27%. 
Across the warranty period (1 year) this figure is still a 
low 0.4%, which demonstrates the build quality of the 
product.

Greenpeace continues to be instrumental in providing 
critical feedback and inputs to our Green Computing 
journey.	Their	“Guide	to	Green	Electronics”	has	rated	
Wipro as the no. 1 green company in india since 2009.
earlier last year, Wipro launched a program for our key 
and materially important component suppliers with 
a view to understand their environmental footprint 
and social impact and further strengthen our supply 
chain engagement on esG (environment, social and 
Governance) aspects.

product quality and manufacturing efficiency have 
always been part of our life cycle sustainability program 
in the Wipro Consumer Care & lighting division.  We use 
recycled material in packaging across our key product 
categories. We are first in the market to introduce leD 
lighting for domestic consumers and are leaders in 
selling the leD lighting solutions in commercial and 
institutional markets in india. leDs draw 1/10th of 
power of normal Gls bulbs for the same luminosity 
output. simultaneously, we have reduced the mercury 
content in our  CFl bulbs from 4.5 mg to 3 mg and are 
planning to eliminate the mercury in tube lights (Ftl) 
through  alternate arrangement by the end of 2012-
13.  All our manufacturing locations have quality, eMs 
(environmental Management system) and Health & 
safety, which does thorough audit of the sustainable 
practices within the organization as a part of certification 
process.

  We are working on a program that will include on-

product communication of safe disposal method for 
consumer care products like baby diapers and lighting 
products like CFl and tubelights. A Management team 
visits the market once in a month in different parts 
of country to collect feedback on  product issues and 
to identify opportunities for more effective customer 
service. the inputs from these visits are captured in a 
‘Customer service opportunity (Cso)’ portal with the 
commitment that the issues should be resolved within 
45 days. A toll free customer care number is printed in 
all the products we sell, through which customers can 
log complaints/queries and suggestions related to our 
products.

  education and Community 
(Aligned to principle  8 of the nVG guidelines)

Management Approach:  
For more details on our innovations in customer 
solutions addressing this principle, please refer 
to	the	“Customer	Stewardship”	section	of	our	last	
Sustainability	Report	2010-11	and	the	“Value	chain

our social transformation initiatives are now nearly 
a decade old. over the years, our approach has been 
to engage in social issues with sensitivity, rigor and 
responsibility.

education and Community Care are the two areas that 
we decided focus on when we started a decade back.

one of the key outcomes of our work has been to develop a 
country-wide network of partner organizations.

policy Advocacy
(Aligned to principle  7 of the nVG guidelines)

Management Approach:

Aligned with our conviction that business, government, 
civil society and academia must be equal stakeholders in 
engaging on the critical issues of sustainability, we have 
consciously been working towards building advocacy and 
engaging with 
government and industry networks on areas that , we 
think, need priority attention.

our areas of focus on policy and advocacy have  centered 
around Clean energy and Climate Change, Water, e-Waste, 
education and Diversity. our approach is to work through 
industry platforms like Cii and to support research and 
publication s with partners who carry expertise in the 
above domains.

this section provides an overview of the work that we have 
been doing on policy and advocacy in the above areas 
with emphasis on the highlights for 2011-12.

  Stakeholders and the primary issues

our primary identified stakeholders for public policy and 
advocacy are
• 

Relevant government ministries and departments, 
 both at the center and the states where we operate 
in ; our interactions have been largely with the 
Ministry of environment and Forests, Ministry of new 
and Renew able energy, the planning Commission, 
Ministry of Human Resources Development, Ministry 
of Corporate Affairs

•	

•	

Industry	networks	and	associations play a crucial 
role as catalysts for awareness, advocacy and 
action on the multiple dimensions of sustainability 
; by providing a common platform  for industry 
representatives to share and exchange ideas and 
practices, industry association can help foster a 
virtuous cycle of innovation led improvement. 
industry networks also lend trength and credibility in 
the dialogue process with government on important 
matters of policy and directives. the industry 
networks that we have been an integral part of are:

•	

•	

•	

•	

The	CII-Godrej	Green	Business	Center

The	CII-ITC	Center	for	Sustainable	Development

The	CII	Climate	Change	Council

The	Nasscom	working	groups	on	Gender	
Diversity

Research and Advocacy NGOs: issues like energy, 
 Climate Change, Water, Biodiversity, Community 
Health etc require strong civil society involvement 
in addition to policy intervention and business 
action ; while the advocacy role of nGos is well 
established, an equally critical role is that of 
furthering empirical research in these areas. nGos, 
by combining the right blend of field work and 
academic rigor can generate valuable insights that 
can inform the work of practitioners, policy makers 
and industry professionals. illustrative examples of 
such organizations that we work with are : Cstep in 
the area of Clean energy, BioMe in the area of Water, 
AtRee in the area of Biodiversity etc

Persons	with	Disability:	Inclusive	interventions	in	
the work place and systemic interventions in the 
space of education for this section

•  We will continue to work primarily through industry 

networks, the education ecosystem and research and 
advocacy nGos in bringing about systemic change ; 
one of our core operating principles is to not spread 
our energies and resources thin by working on too 
many issues - we will, therefore, be selective in the 
partners we engage with on the areas mentioned 
above.

  plans and direction forward

•  We think that public policy and advocacy will have 
to play an increasingly strong part in bringing 
sustainability concerns, challenges and solutions to 
the center stage of attention in the national arena; 
the business sector must adopt a proactive and 
visionary stance, moving away from a compliance-
driven mindset to one where it sees itself as a driver 
of a shift to a radically different position for business 
- one in which it views larger socio-ecological 
issues as being central to its own sustainability and 
therefore one where it should drive innovation and 
improvement through progressive thinking

•  Our areas of advocacy focus will continue to be

Energy	and	Climate	Change

•	 Water

Introduction
Det norske Veritas As (‘DnV’) has been commissioned by the management of Wipro limited (‘Wipro’ or ‘the Company’) 
to carry out an independent assurance engagement on the Business Responsibility Report (‘BRR’ or ‘the Report’) to be 
published along with its Annual Report 2011 – 12 in its printed format.  this assurance engagement has been conducted 
against the nine principles enunciated in the ‘national Voluntary Guidelines on social, environmental and economic 
Responsibilities of Business’ (nVG) framed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of india. the verification 
was conducted by a multidisciplinary team of qualified and experienced assurance professionals during May 2012, for the 
year of activities covered in the Report i.e. 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2012. 

the intended users of this assurance statement are the management of the Company and readers of this Report. the 
management of Wipro is responsible for all information provided in the Report as well as the processes for collecting, 
analyzing and reporting the information. DnV’s responsibility regarding this verification is to Company only and in 
accordance with the agreed scope of work. the assurance engagement is based on the assumption that the data and 
information provided to us is complete and true. 

DnV expressly disclaims any liability or co-responsibility for any decision a person or entity would make based on this 
Assurance statement.

  Scope, boundary  and limitations of Assurance 

the scope of work agreed upon with Wipro includes verification of the content of the BRR i.e. disclosures against 
nine principles of nVG and reported in the Annual Report 2011-12 i.e. review of the policies, initiatives, practices and 
performance described in the Report as well as references made in the Report.

  For Det Norske Veritas AS,

the reporting boundary is as set out in the Report, covering entities over which Wipro has management control and 
significant influence as explained in the report. 

During the verification process, there were no limitations encountered on the scope for the assurance engagement. 

  Assurance  Methodology

this assurance engagement was planned and carried out in accordance with the DnV protocol for Verification of 
sustainability Reporting .the Report has been reviewed for a moderate level of assurance, as set out in Verisustain.

As part of the engagement, DnV has verified the statements and claims made in the Report and assessed the robustness of 
the underlying data management system, information flow and controls.

  Conclusion

We consider the methodology and process for gathering information developed by the Company for this Report is 
appropriate and the qualitative and quantitative data included in the Report, were found to be reliable, identifiable and 
traceable; the personnel responsible were able to demonstrate the origin and interpretation of the data. 

the report predominantly covers the response to Wipro’s it business which account for 86 % of its total business revenue, 
however Wipro needs to include disclosures related to its non it business to improve the completeness.

in our opinion the Report, provides a fair representation of the company’s sustainability policies, objectives, management 
approach and performance during the reporting year. on the basis of our verification methodology and scope of work 
agreed upon nothing has come to our attention that would cause us not to believe that this report is not materially correct 
and is not a fair representation of the data and information.

assets.

(b) 

 The Company has a regular programme of physical verification of its fixed assets by which all fixed assets are verified in

regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. As informed to us, no material discrepancies were noticed 
on such verification.

(c)   Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial, and therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.

between the physical stocks and the book records were not material.

(b) 

In our opinion, the rate of interest, where applicable and other terms and conditions on which loans have been granted 
to companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Act are not, prima facie, 
prejudicial to the interest of the Company.

(c)  The principal amounts and interest, where applicable, are being repaid regularly in accordance with the agreed contractual 
terms. Additionally, there are no overdue amounts in excess of Rupees one lakh. Accordingly, paragraphs 4(iii) (c) and (d) 
of the Order is not applicable to the Company.

(d)  The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured, from companies, firms or other parties covered in the 
register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. Accordingly, paragraphs 4 (iii) (e) to (g) of the Order are not applicable

(vi)  

In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, there is an adequate internal control system 
commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its business with regard to purchase of inventories and fixed 
assets and with regard to sale of goods and services. We have not observed any major weakness in the internal control system 
during the course of the audit.

(v) 

(a) 

In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the particulars of contracts or arrangements 
referred to in Section 301 of the Act have been entered in the register required to be maintained under that Section.

In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the transactions made in pursuance of

time.

(vi)  The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public.

(vii)  In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system commensurate with the size and nature of its business. 

(viii)  We have broadly reviewed the books of account relating to material, labor and other items of cost maintained by the Company 
pursuant to the Rules prescribed by the Central Government for the maintenance of cost records under section 209(1)(d) of the 
Act and are of the opinion that prima facie, the prescribed accounts and records have been made and maintained. However, 
we have not made a detailed examination of the records.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
1.   Company overview

Standalone Financial Statements

Wipro Limited (Wipro or the Company), is a leading India 
based provider of IT Services, including Business Process 
Outsourcing (BPO) services, globally.  Further, Wipro has 
other  businesses  such  as  IT  Products,  Consumer  Care 
and  Lighting  and  Infrastructure  engineering. Wipro  is 
headquartered in Bangalore, India.

2. 

Significant Accounting Policies

i. 

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with 
Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) 
under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, 
except for certain financial instruments which are measured 
on a fair value basis. GAAP comprises Accounting Standards 
specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 
2006 (as amended), Accounting Standards issued by the 
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and other 
generally accepted accounting principles in India.

of each balance sheet date is disclosed under long term 
loans and advances.

v. 

Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost less other than 
temporary  decline  in  the  value  of  such  investments,  if 
any. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and 
fair value determined by category of investment. The fair 
value  is  determined  using  quoted  market  price/market 
observable information adjusted for cost of disposal. On 
disposal  of  the  investment,  the  difference  between  its 
carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or 
credited to the statement of profit and loss.

vi. 

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable 
value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost 
is determined using the weighted average method. Cost of 
work-in-progress and finished goods include material cost 
and appropriate share of manufacturing overheads.

ii. 

Use of estimates

vii.  Provisions and contingent liabilities

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance 
with  the  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
requires management to make judgments, estimates and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
income,  expenses  and  the  disclosure  of  contingent 
liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and 
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Revision to accounting estimate is recognised in the period 
in which the estimates are revised and in any future period 
affected.

iii.  Goodwill

The goodwill arising on acquisition of a group of assets is 
not amortized and is tested for impairment if indicators of 
impairment exist.

iv. 

 Tangible assets, intangible assets and Capital work-
in-progress

Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated 
depreciation.  Costs  include  expenditure  directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Borrowing costs 
directly attributable to the construction or production of 
qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost.

Intangible assets are stated at the consideration paid for 
acquisition less accumulated amortization.

Cost of fixed assets not ready for use before the balance 
sheet date is disclosed capital work-in-progress. Advances 
paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding as 

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  Company  has  a 
present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable 
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the 
amount of obligation.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is 
a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but 
probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where 
there  is  a  possible  obligation  or  a  present  obligation  in 
respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is 
remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

The Company recognizes provision for onerous contracts 
based on the estimate of excess of unavoidable costs of 
meeting obligations under the contracts over the expected 
economic benefits.

viii.  Revenue recognition

Services:

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  the  significant 
terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have 
been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured. 
The  method  of  recognizing  the  revenues  and  costs 
depends on the nature of the services rendered:

A.  Time and material contracts

  Revenues  and  costs  relating  to  time  and  material 
contracts  are  recognized  as  the  related  services  are 
rendered.

Standalone Financial Statements

B.  Fixed-price contracts

  Revenues from fixed-price contracts, including systems 
development and integration contracts are recognized 
using  the  “percentage-of-completion”  method. 
Percentage  of  completion  is  determined  based  on 
project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total 
estimated  project  costs  required  to  complete  the 
project. When total cost estimates exceed revenues in 
an arrangement, the estimated losses are recognized in 
the statement of profit and loss in the period in which 
such  losses  become  probable  based  on  the  current 
contract estimates.

‘Unbilled  revenues’  included  in  other  current  assets 
represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as of 
the balance sheet date. ‘Unearned revenues’ included 
in other current liabilities represent billing in excess of 
revenue recognized.

C.  Maintenance Contracts

  Revenue  from  maintenance  contracts  is  recognized 
ratably  over  the  period  of  the  contract  using  the 
percentage  of  completion  method. When  services 
are  performed  through  an  indefinite  number  of 
repetitive acts over a specified period of time, revenue 
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the specified 
period unless some other method better represents the 
stage of completion.

In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output 
units is agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such 
contracts,  revenue  is  recognized  with  respect  to  the 
actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total 
contractual output. Any residual service unutilized by 
the customer is recognized as revenue on completion 
of the term.

Products:

Revenue  from  sale  of  products  is  recognised  when  the 
product has been delivered, in accordance with the sales 
contract. Revenue from product sales are shown as net of 
excise duty, sales tax separately charged and applicable 
discounts. 

Other income:

Agency  commission  is  accrued  when  shipment  of 
consignment is dispatched by the principal. 

Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, 
based on rates implicit in the transaction.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right 
to receive dividend is established.

ix. 

Leases

Leases of assets, where the Company assumes substantially 
all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as 

finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lower 
of the fair value of the leased assets at inception and the 
present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments 
are  apportioned  between  the  finance  charge  and  the 
outstanding  liability. The  finance  charge  is  allocated  to 
periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate 
of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. 
Lease rentals in respect of assets taken under operating 
leases are charged to profit and loss account on a straight 
line basis over the lease term.

In certain arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue 
from the sale of products given under finance leases. The 
Company  records  gross  finance  receivables,  unearned 
income  and  the  estimated  residual  value  of  the  leased 
equipment  on  consummation  of  such  leases.  Unearned 
income  represents  the  excess  of  the  gross  finance  lease 
receivable plus the estimated residual value over the sales 
price of the equipment. The Company recognises unearned 
income as financing revenue over the lease term using the 
effective interest method.

x. 

Foreign currency transactions

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign 
currency  transactions.  Foreign  currency  transactions  are 
accounted in the books of account at the average rate for 
the month. 

Transaction:

The difference between the rate at which foreign currency 
transactions are accounted and the rate at which they are 
realized is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Translation:

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at period-
end are restated at the closing rate. The difference arising 
from  the  restatement  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of 
profit and loss.

In  March  2009,  Ministry  of  Corporate  affairs  issued  a 
notification  amending  AS  11, ‘The  effects  of  changes  in 
foreign  exchange  rates’. This  was  further  amended  by 
notification  dated  December  29,  2011.  Before  the  said 
amendment, AS 11 required the exchange gains / losses 
on long term foreign currency monetary assets / liabilities 
to be recorded in the statement of profit and loss. 

The amended AS 11 provides an irrevocable option to the 
Company to amortise exchange rate fluctuation on long 
term foreign currency monetary asset / liability over the 
life of the asset / liability or March 31, 2020, whichever is 
earlier. The amendment is applicable retroactively from the 
financial year beginning on or after December 7, 2006.

The Company did not elect to exercise this option.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised when the Company 
becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the 
instrument. 

Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting:

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations 
on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in a 
non-integral foreign operation and forecasted cash flows 
denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the 
effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following 
established risk management policies including the use of 
derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial 
instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.

The Company has adopted the principles of Accounting 
Standard  30,  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement  (AS  30)  issued  by  ICAI  except  to  the 
extent  the  adoption  of  AS  30  does  not  conflict  with 
existing accounting standards prescribed by Companies 
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and other authoritative 
pronouncements.

In  accordance  with  the  recognition  and  measurement 
principles set out in AS 30, changes in fair value of derivative 
financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are 
recognised directly in shareholders’ funds and reclassified 
into the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence 
of the hedged transaction.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments 
that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in 
the statement of profit and loss.

The  fair  value  of  derivative  financial  instruments  is 
determined based on observable market inputs including 
currency  spot  and  forward  rates,  yield  curves,  currency 
volatility etc. 

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

A  financial  instrument  is  any  contract  that  gives  rise  to 
a  financial  asset  of  one  entity  and  a  financial  liability  or 
equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets of the 
Company mainly include cash and bank balances, trade 
receivables, unbilled revenues, finance lease receivables, 
employee  travel  and  other  advances,  other  loans  and 
advances  and  derivative  financial  instruments  with  a 
positive  fair  value.  Financial  liabilities  of  the  Company 
mainly  comprise  long  term  and  short  term  borrowings, 
trade payable, accrued expenses and derivative financial 
instruments  with  a  negative  fair  value.  Financial  assets 
are  derecognized  when  all  of  risks  and  rewards  of  the 
ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. In 
cases where substantial risk and rewards of ownership of 
the  financial  assets  are  neither  transferred  nor  retained, 
financial assets are derecognized only when the Company 
has not retained control over the financial asset.

Standalone Financial Statements

The Company measures the financial assets and liabilities, 
except  for  derivative  financial  assets  and  liabilities  at 
amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method. 
The  Company  measures  the  short-term  payables  and 
receivables with no stated rate of interest at original invoice 
amount,  if  the  effect  of  discounting  is  immaterial.  Non-
interest bearing deposits are discounted to their present 
value.

xii.  Depreciation and amortization

The Company has provided for depreciation using straight 
line method, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the 
Companies  Act,  1956,  except  in  cases  of  the  following 
assets, which are depreciated based on estimated useful 
life, which is higher than the rates specified in Schedule 
XIV. 

Class of Asset

Buildings
Computer equipment and Software 
(included under plant and machinery)
Furniture and fixtures
Electrical installations  
(included under plant and machinery)
Office equipment
Vehicles

Estimated 
useful life
30 - 60 years

2 - 7 years
5 - 6 years

5 years
5 years
4 years

Fixed assets individually costing Rupees five thousand or 
less are depreciated at 100% over a period of one year.

Assets  under  finance  lease  are  amortised  over  their 
estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is lower. 

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful 
life on a straight line basis. For various brands acquired by 
the Company, estimated useful life has been determined 
ranging  between  20  to  25  years. The  Company  believes 
this based on number of factors including the competitive 
environment,  market  share,  brand  history,  product  life 
cycles,  operating  plan,  no  restrictions  on  title  and  the 
macroeconomic  environment  of  the  countries  in  which 
the brands operate. Accordingly, such intangible assets are 
being amortised over the determined useful life. Payments 
for leasehold land are amortised over the period of lease.

xiii. 

Impairment of assets

Financial assets:

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether 
there  is  any  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  or 
group of financial assets is impaired. If any such indication 
exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment 
loss. The  amount  of  loss  for  short-term  receivables  is 
measured as the difference between the assets carrying 
amount and undiscounted amount of future cash flows. 
Reduction, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit 
and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is any indication

Standalone Financial Statements

that  if  a  previously  assessed  impairment  loss  no  longer 
exists, the recognised impairment loss is reversed, subject 
to maximum of initial carrying amount of the short-term 
receivable.

Other than financial assets: 

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether 
there is any indication that a non-financial asset including 
goodwill may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the 
Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. 
If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable 
amount  of  the  cash  generating  unit  to  which  the  asset 
belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying 
amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction 
is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the 
statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date 
there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment 
loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed 
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject 
to a maximum of depreciated historical cost. In respect of 
goodwill, the impairment loss will be reversed only when 
it was caused by specific external events of an exceptional 
nature that is not expected to recur and their effects have 
been reversed by subsequent external events.

xiv.  Employee benefits

Provident fund: 

Employees  receive  benefits  from  a  provident  fund. The 
employee and employer each make monthly contributions 
to the plan. A portion of the contribution is made to the 
provident fund trust managed by the Company, while the 
remainder of the contribution is made to the Government’s 
provident  fund. The  Company  is  generally  liable  for  any 
shortfall  in  the  fund  assets  based  on  the  government 
specified minimum rate of return. 

Compensated absences:

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated 
absence. The  employees  can  carry-forward  a  portion  of 
the  unutilized  accumulating  compensated  absence  and 
utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at 
retirement or termination of employment. The Company 
records  an  obligation  for  compensated  absences  in  the 
period  in  which  the  employee  renders  the  services  that 
increases  this  entitlement. The  Company  measures  the 
expected cost of compensated absence as the additional 
amount  that  the  Company  expects  to  pay  as  a  result  of 
the  unused  entitlement  that  has  accumulated  at  the 
balance sheet date. The Company recognizes accumulated 
compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non-
accumulating  compensated  absences  are  recognized  in 
the  period  in  which  the  absences  occur. The  Company 
recognizes  actuarial  gains  losses  immediately  in  the 
statement of profit and loss. 

Gratuity:

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the 
Company  provides  for  a  lump  sum  payment  to  eligible 
employees, at retirement or termination of employment 
based on the last drawn salary and years of employment 
with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the 
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), HDFC Standard 
Life, TATA AIG and Birla Sun-life. The Company’s obligation 
in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit 
plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation carried 
out by an independent actuary using the projected unit 
credit  method. The  Company  recognizes  actuarial  gains 
and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

Superannuation: 

Superannuation  plan,  a  defined  contribution  scheme,  is 
administered  by  the  LIC  and  ICICI  Prudential  Insurance 
Company  Limited.  The  Company  makes  annual 
contributions  based  on  a  specified  percentage  of  each 
covered employee’s salary.

xv.  Employee stock options

The Company determines the compensation cost based 
on the intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is 
amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

xvi.  Taxes

Income tax:

The  current  charge  for  income  taxes  is  calculated  in 
accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Tax liability 
for domestic taxes has been computed after considering 
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). The excess tax paid under 
MAT provisions being over and above regular tax liability can 
be carried forward and set off against future tax liabilities 
computed under regular tax provisions. Accordingly, MAT 
credit  has  been  recognized,  wherever  applicable  on  the 
balance sheet which can be carried forward for a period 
of ten years from the year of recognition.

Deferred tax:

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  the 
future tax consequences attributable to timing differences 
that result between the profit offered for income taxes and 
the profit as per the financial statements of the Company.

Deferred taxes are recognised in respect of timing differences 
which originate during the tax holiday period but reverse after 
the tax holiday period. For this purpose, reversal of timing 
difference is determined using first in first out method.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  using 
the  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or 
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.  The effect 
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates 
is recognised in the period that includes the enactment/
substantive enactment date.

Deferred tax assets on timing differences are recognised 
only if there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future 
taxable  income  will  be  available  against  which  such 
deferred  tax  assets  can  be  realized.    However,  deferred 
tax  assets  on  the  timing  differences  when  unabsorbed 
depreciation  and  losses  carried  forward  exist,  are 
recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty 
that  sufficient  future  taxable  income  will  be  available 
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. 

Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness 
of their respective carrying amounts at each balance sheet 
date.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current 
and non-current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a 
legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such 
assets and liabilities on a net basis.

xvii.  Earnings per share 

Basic: 

The  number  of  equity  shares  used  in  computing  basic 
earnings  per  share  is  the  weighted  average  number  of 

Standalone Financial Statements

shares outstanding during the year excluding equity shares 
held by controlled trusts.

Diluted: 

The number of equity shares used in computing diluted 
earnings  per  share  comprises  the  weighted  average 
number  of  equity  shares  considered  for  deriving  basic 
earnings per share, and also the weighted average number 
of  equity  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 period, unless issued at a later date. The 
number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares 
are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares issued.

xviii.  Cash flow statement

Cash  flows  are  reported  using  the  indirect  method, 
whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects 
of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or 
accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The 
cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and 
financing activities of the Company are segregated.

The Company’s Indian operations have been established as 
units in Special Economic Zone and Software Technology 
Park Unit under plans formulated by the Government of 
India. As per the plan,  the Company’s  Indian operations 
have export obligations to the extent of net positive foreign 
exchange (i.e. foreign exchange inflow - foreign exchange 
outflow  should  be  positive)  over  a  five  year  period. The 
consequence of not meeting this commitment in the future 

would  be  a  retroactive  levy  of  import  duties  on  certain 
hardware previously imported duty free. As of March 31, 
2012,  the  Company  has  met  all  commitments  required 
under the plan.

Tax Demands:

The Company had received tax demands aggregating to 
` 40,040 (including interest of ` 10,616) arising primarily 
on account of denial of deduction under Section 10A of 
the  Income Tax  Act,  1961  in  respect  of  profit  earned  by 
the Company’s undertaking in Software Technology Park 
at Bangalore for the years ended March 31, 2001 to March 
2008. The  appeals  filed  against  the  said  demand  before 
the Appellate authorities have been allowed in favor of the 
Company by the second appellate authority for the years 
upto March 2004 and further appeals have been filed by 
the Income tax authorities before the Hon’ble High Court. 
The first appellate authority has granted relief for the year 
ended March 31, 2005 and further appeal has been filed by 
the Income tax authorities before the Income-tax Appellate 
Tribunal.  The Company is in appeal before the Income-tax 
Appellate Tribunal  for  the  years  ended  March  31,  2006 
and March 31, 2007 after receiving the assessment orders 
following the directions of the Dispute Resolution Panel. 
For the year ended March 31, 2008, the objections against 
the draft assessment order are pending before the Dispute 
Resolution Panel.

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order of the appellate authority upholding the claims of the 
Company for earlier years, the Company believes that the 
final outcome of the above disputes should be in favor of 
the Company and there should not be any material impact 
on the financial statements.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims 
which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The 
resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have 
a material and adverse effect on the results of operations 
or the financial position of the Company.

33.  Adoption of AS 30

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30, as per 
announcement by ICAI except to the extent such principles 
of  AS  30  does  not  conflict  with  existing  accounting 
standards prescribed by Companies (Accounting Standards) 
Rules, 2006. 

The Company has designated USD 262 million (2011: USD 
262  million)  and  Euro  40  million  (2011:  Euro  40  million) 
of forward contracts as hedges of its net investments in 
non  integral  foreign  operations. The  Company  has  also 
designated a yen-denominated foreign currency borrowing 
amounting to JPY 16.5 billion (2011: JPY 16.5 billion), along 
with  a  floating  for  floating  Cross-Currency  Interest  Rate 
Swap  (CCIRS),  as  a  hedging  instrument  to  hedge  its  net 
investment  in  a  non-integral  foreign  operation.  Further, 
the  Company  has  also  designated  yen-denominated 
foreign  currency  borrowing  amounting  to  JPY  8  billion 
(2011: JPY 8 billion) along with floating for fixed CCIRS as 
cash flow hedge of the yen-denominated borrowing and 
also as a hedge of net investment in a non-integral foreign 
operation. As equity investments in non-integral foreign 
subsidiaries/operations  are  stated  at  historical  cost,  in

35.  Sale of financial assets

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the 
Company transfers accounts receivables, net investment 
in  finance  lease  receivables  and  employee  advances 
(financials  assets)  to  banks.  Under  the  terms  of  the 
arrangements, the Company surrenders control over the 
financial assets and is without recourse. Accordingly, such 
transfers  are  recorded  as  sale  of  financial  assets.  Gains 
and losses on sale of financial assets without recourse are 
recorded at the time of sale based on the carrying value 
of the financial assets and fair value of servicing liability. 
In  certain  cases,  transfer  of  financial  assets  may  be  with 
recourse. Under arrangements with recourse, the Company 
is obligated to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, 
subject  to  limits  specified  in  the  agreement  with  the 
banks.  Accordingly,  in  such  cases  the  amount  received 
are recorded as borrowings in the balance sheet and cash 
flows from financing activities. Additionally, the Company 
retains servicing responsibility for the transferred financial 
assets.

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2012,  the  Company 
transferred  financial  assets  of  Nil  (2011:  `  1,369),  under 
such arrangements. Proceeds from transfer of receivables 
on non-recourse basis are included in the net cash provided 
by  operating  activities  in  the  statements  of  cash  flows. 
Proceeds from transfer of receivables on recourse basis are 
included in the net cash provided by financing activities. 
This transfer resulted in a net gain / (loss) of Nil for the year 
ended March 31, 2012 (2011: ` (7)). As of March 31, 2012, 
the maximum amounts of recourse obligation in respect 
of the transferred financial assets are Nil (2011: Nil).

36.  Finance lease receivables 

Operating leases:

The Company provides lease financing for the traded and 
manufactured products primarily through finance leases. 
The  finance  lease  portfolio  contains  only  the  normal 
collection  risk  with  no  important  uncertainties  with 
respect  to  future  costs. These  receivables  are  generally 
due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over 
periods ranging from 3 to 5 years.

The components of finance lease receivables are as follows:

The  Company  leases  office  and  residential  facilities 
under  cancelable  and  non-cancelable  operating  lease 
agreements that are renewable on a periodic basis at the 
option of both the lessor and the lessee. Rental payments 
under such leases are ` 2,154 and ` 1,848 during the years 
ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Details  of  contractual  payments  under  non-cancelable 
leases are given below:

Gratuity:  In  accordance  with  applicable  Indian  laws,  the 
Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement 
plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories of employees. 
The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested 
employees, at retirement or termination of employment, 
an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn 
salary  and  the  years  of  employment  with  the  Company. 
The Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual 
contributions  to  a  fund  managed  by  the  Life  Insurance 
Corporation  of  India  (LIC),  HDFC  Standard  Life, Tata  AIG 
and Birla Sun Life (‘Insurer’). Under this plan, the settlement 
obligation remains with the Company, although the Insurer 
administers  the  plan  and  determines  the  contribution 
premium required to be paid by the Company.

The Company has invested the plan assets with the insurer 
managed funds. The expected rate of return on plan asset 
is based on expectation of the average long term rate of 
return  expected  on  investments  of  the  fund  during  the 
estimated term of the obligation. Expected contribution 
to the fund during the year ending March 31, 2013 is ` 336.

The  Company  assesses  these  assumptions  with  its 
projected  long-term  plans  of  growth  and  prevalent 
industry standards. The estimates of future salary increase, 
considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, 
seniority,  promotion  and  other  relevant  factors  such  as 
supply and demand factors in the employment market.

Superannuation:  Apart  from  being  covered  under 
the  gratuity  plan,  the  employees  of  the  Company  also 
participate  in  a  defined  contribution  plan  maintained 
by  the  Company. This  plan  is  administered  by  the  Life 
Insurance  Corporation  of  India  and  ICICI  Prudential 
Insurance Company Limited. The Company makes annual 

Standalone Financial Statements

contributions  based  on  a  specified  percentage  of  each 
covered employee’s salary.

For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2012,  the  Company  has 
reversed (net) ` (38), being excess the contribution (2011: 
contribution recognised ` 168) to superannuation fund, in 
the statement of profit and loss. 

Provident fund (PF): In addition to the above, all employees 
receive benefits from a provident fund. The employee and 
employer  each  make  monthly  contributions  to  the  plan 
equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary. A portion 
of  the  contribution  is  made  to  the  provident  fund  trust 
established by the Company, while the remainder of the 
contribution is made to the Government’s provident fund. 

The interest rate payable by the trust to the beneficiaries 
is regulated by the statutory authorities. The Company has 
an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between 
the returns from its investments and the administered rate.

Upto  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  in  the  absence  of 
guidance  from  the  Actuarial  Society  of  India,  actuarial 
valuation could not have been applied to reliably measure 
the provident fund liabilities. During the year ended March 
31,  2012,  the  Actuarial  Society  of  India  issued  the  final 
guidance  for  measurement  of  provident  fund  liabilities. 
Accordingly, based on such actuarial valuation there is no 
shortfall in the fund as of March 31, 2012.

The details of fund and plan assets are given below:

As  of  March  31,  2012,  provision  for  leave  encashment 
of  `  3,289  has  been  presented  under  Provisions  - 
Employee  retirement  benefits. The  liability  as  of  March 
31, 2011 of  ` 2,028 that was previously included under 
Sundry  Creditors  in  the  financial  statements  for  year 
ended  March  31,  2011  prepared  under  the  pre-revised

accordingly  reclassified  under  provisions.  Provision  for 
leave  encashment  is  a  deferred  deduction  under  the 
tax  laws  which  can  be  claimed  only  on  actual  payment. 
Accordingly,  the  consequent  impact  on  current  and 
deferred tax has been given effect.

39.  Employee stock option

i) 

Employees  covered  under  Stock  Option  Plans  and 
Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Option Plans (collectively  
“stock  option  plans”)  are  granted  an  option  to 
purchase  shares  of  the  Company  at  the  respective 
exercise  prices,  subject  to  requirements  of  vesting 
conditions. These options generally vest over a period 
of five years from the date of grant. Upon vesting, the 
employees  can  acquire  one  equity  share  for  every 
option. The  maximum  contractual  term  for  these 
stock option plans is generally 10 years.

ii) 

iii) 

The stock compensation cost is computed under the 
intrinsic value method and amortised on a straight 
line basis over the total vesting period of five years 
The instrinic value on the date of grant approximates 
the fair value. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the 
Company has recorded stock compensation expense 
of ` 878 (2011: ` 1,310).

The compensation committee of the board evaluates 
the  performance  and  other  criteria  of  employees 
and  approves  the  grant  of  options. These  options 
vest with employees over a specified period subject 
to  fulfillment  of  certain  conditions.  Upon  vesting, 
employees are eligible to apply and secure allotment 
of  Company’s  shares  at  a  price  determined  on  the 
date of grant of options. The particulars of options 
granted under various plans are tabulated below. (The 
number of shares in the table below are adjusted for 
any stock splits and bonus shares issues).

The  weighted-average  grant-date  fair  value  of  options 
granted during the year ended March 31, 2012 was ` 449.80 
(2011: ` 417.65) for each option. The weighted average share 
price of options exercised during the year ended March 31, 
2012 was ` 399.22 (2011: ` 424.28) for each option.

The fair value of 30,000 options granted during the year 
ended  March  31,  2012  (other  than  at  nominal  exercise 
price) has been estimated on the date of grant using the 
Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The fair value

gas  information  technology  practice  of  the  Commercial 
Business  Services  Business  Unit  of  Science  Applications

AUDITORS’ REPORT

AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WIPRO LIMITED 
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

We have audited the attached consolidated balance sheet of Wipro Limited (‘the Company’) and subsidiaries (collectively called 
‘the Wipro Group’) as of March 31, 2012, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and the consolidated cash flow statement 
for the year ended on that date, annexed  thereto. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material 
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 
as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with 
the  requirements  of  Accounting  Standard  21,  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  Accounting  Standard  23,  Accounting  for 
Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’).

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 28 of the Notes that describes the principles of Accounting Standard 
(AS) 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements, followed by the Company, which has not currently been notified 
by the National Advisory Council for Accounting Standards pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as per 
Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956. Had the Company not followed the principles of AS 30, the profit after taxation for 
the year ended March 31, 2012 would have been lower by ` 1,633 million.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the consolidated financial statements 
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

(a) 

in the case of the consolidated balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the Wipro Group as of March 31, 2012;

(b) 

in the case of the consolidated statement of profit and loss, of the profit of the Wipro Group for the year ended on that date; and

(c) 

in the case of the consolidated cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the Wipro Group for the year ended on that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1.  Company overview

Wipro  Limited  (Wipro  or  the  Parent),  together  with 
its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  Company  or  the 
group)  is  a  leading  India  based  provider  of  IT  Services, 
including  Business  Process  Outsourcing  (BPO)  services, 
globally.  Further, Wipro has other businesses such as IT 
Products, Consumer Care and Lighting and Infrastructure 
engineering. Wipro is headquartered in Bangalore, India.

Minority interest in share of net result for the year is 
identified and adjusted against the profit after tax. 
Excess of loss, if any, attributable to the minority over 
and above the minority interest in the equity of the 
subsidiaries is absorbed by the Company.

  –  The consolidated financial statements are prepared 
using  uniform  accounting  policies  for  similar 
transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

2. 

Significant Accounting Policies

iii.  Use of estimates

i. 

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with 
Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) 
under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, 
except for certain financial instruments which are measured 
on a fair value basis. GAAP comprises Accounting Standards 
(AS),  issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants 
of  India  (ICAI)  and  other  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles in India.

ii. 

Principles of consolidation

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance 
with  the  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
requires management to make judgments, estimates and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
income,  expenses  and  the  disclosure  of  contingent 
liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Estimates and 
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Revision to accounting estimate is recognised in the period 
in which the estimates are revised and in any future period 
affected.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
on the following basis:

iv. 

Tangible  assets,  intangible  assets  and  capital 
work-in-progress

  –  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the 
financial statements of Wipro and all its subsidiaries, 
which are more than 50% owned or controlled. The 
financial statements of the parent Company and its 
majority owned / controlled subsidiaries have been 
combined on a line by line basis by adding together 
the  book  values  of  all  items  of  assets,  liabilities, 
incomes  and  expenses  after  eliminating  all  inter-
Company  balances  /  transactions  and  resulting 
unrealized gain / loss.

  –  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the 
share of profit / loss of associate companies, which 
are  accounted  under  the ‘Equity  method’,  wherein, 
the share of profit / loss of the associate Company 
has  been  added  /  deducted  to  /  from  the  cost  of 
investment.

  –  Minority  interest  in  the  net  assets  of  consolidated 

subsidiaries consists of:

a) 

b) 

 the  amount  of  equity  attributable  to  the 
minorities at the dates on which investment in 
a subsidiary is made; and

 the  minorities  share  of  movements  in  equity 
since the date of parent-subsidiary relationship 
came into existence.

Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated 
depreciation.  Costs  include  expenditure  directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Borrowing costs 
directly attributable to the construction or production of 
qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost.

Intangible assets are stated at the consideration paid for 
acquisition less accumulated amortization.

Cost of fixed assets not ready for use before the balance 
sheet  date  is  disclosed  as  capital  work-in-progress. 
Advances  paid  towards  the  acquisition  of  fixed  assets 
outstanding  as  of  each  balance  sheet  date  is  disclosed 
under long term loans and advances.

v. 

Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost less other than 
temporary  decline  in  the  value  of  such  investments,  if 
any. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and 
fair value determined by category of investment. The fair 
value  is  determined  using  quoted  market  price/market 
observable information adjusted for cost of disposal. On 
disposal  of  the  investment,  the  difference  between  its 
carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or 
credited to the statement of profit and loss.

vi. 

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable 
value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost

is determined using the weighted average method. Cost of 
work-in-progress and finished goods include material cost 
and appropriate share of manufacturing overheads.

vii.  Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  Company  has  a 
present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable 
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the 
amount of obligation.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is 
a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but 
probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where 
there  is  a  possible  obligation  or  a  present  obligation  in 
respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is 
remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

The Company recognizes provision for onerous contracts 
based on the estimate of excess of unavoidable costs of 
meeting obligations under the contracts over the expected 
economic benefits.

viii.  Revenue recognition

Services:

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  the  significant 
terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have 
been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured. 
The method for recognizing revenues and costs depends 
on the nature of the services rendered:

A.  Time and material contracts

Revenues and costs relating to time and material contracts 
are recognized as the related services are rendered.

B. 

Fixed-price contracts

Revenues  from  fixed-price  contracts,  including  systems 
development  and  integration  contracts  are  recognized 
using the “percentage-of-completion” method. Percentage 
of  completion  is  determined  based  on  project  costs 
incurred  to  date  as  a  percentage  of  total  estimated 
project  costs  required  to  complete  the  project. When 
total cost estimates exceed revenues in an arrangement, 
the estimated losses are recognized in the statement of 
profit and loss in the period in which such losses become 
probable based on the current contract estimates.

‘Unbilled  revenues’  included  in  other  current  assets 
represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as of the 
balance sheet date. ‘Unearned revenues’ included in other 
current  liabilities  represent  billing  in  excess  of  revenue 
recognized.

C.  Maintenance contracts

Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably 
over the period of the contract using the percentage of 
completion method. When services are performed through 

an  indefinite  number  of  repetitive  acts  over  a  specified 
period  of  time,  revenue  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line 
basis over the specified period unless some other method 
better represents the stage of completion.

In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output 
units  is  agreed  at  a  fixed  price  for  a  fixed  term.  In  such 
contracts,  revenue  is  recognized  with  respect  to  the 
actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total 
contractual output. Any residual service unutilized by the 
customer is recognized as revenue on completion of the 
term.

Products:

Revenue  from  sale  of  products  is  recognised  when  the 
product has been delivered, in accordance with the sales 
contract. Revenues from product sales are shown as net 
of excise duty, sales tax separately charged and applicable 
discounts.

Other income:

Agency  commission  is  accrued  when  shipment  of 
consignment is dispatched by the principal.

Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, 
based on rates implicit in the transaction.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right 
to receive dividend is established.

ix. 

Leases

Leases of assets, where the Company assumes substantially 
all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as 
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lower 
of the fair value of the leased assets at inception and the 
present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments 
are  apportioned  between  the  finance  charge  and  the 
outstanding  liability. The  finance  charge  is  allocated  to 
periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate 
of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. 
Lease rentals in respect of assets taken under operating 
leases are charged to profit and loss account on a straight 
line basis over the lease term.

In certain arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue 
from the sale of products given under finance leases. The 
Company  records  gross  finance  receivables,  unearned 
income  and  the  estimated  residual  value  of  the  leased 
equipment  on  consummation  of  such  leases.  Unearned 
income  represents  the  excess  of  the  gross  finance  lease 
receivable plus the estimated residual value over the sales 
price of the equipment. The Company recognises unearned 
income as financing revenue over the lease term using the 
effective interest method.

Foreign currency transactions

Transaction:

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign 
currency  transactions.  Foreign  currency  transactions  are 
accounted in the books of account at the average rate for 
the month.

The difference between the rate at which foreign currency 
transactions are accounted and the rate at which they are 
realized is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Translation:

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at period-
end are translated at the closing rate. The difference arising 
from  the  translation  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of 
profit and loss, except for the exchange difference arising 
on monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in 
a cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a non-
integral  foreign  operation.  In  such  cases  the  exchange 
difference  is  initially  recognised  in  hedging  reserve  or 
translation reserve, respectively. Such exchange differences 
are subsequently recognised in the statement of profit and 
loss on occurrence of the underlying hedged transaction 
or  on  disposal  of  the  investment,  respectively.  Further, 
foreign  currency  differences  arising  from  translation  of 
intercompany receivables or payables relating to foreign 
operations, the settlement of which is neither planned nor 
likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part 
of net investment in foreign operation and are recognized 
in Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR).

Integral operations:

Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  are  translated  at  the 
exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. 
Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. 
The items in the statement of profit and loss are translated 
at  the  average  exchange  rate  during  the  period. The 
differences arising out of the translation are recognised in 
the statement of profit and loss.

Non-integral operations:

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate 
prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. The items in the 
statement of profit and loss are translated at the average 
exchange rate during the period. The differences arising 
out of the translation are transferred to translation reserve.

xi. 

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised when the Company 
becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the 
instrument.

Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting:

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations 
on  foreign  currency  assets,  liabilities,  net  investment  in 

Consolidated Financial Statements

non-integral foreign operations and forecasted cash flows 
denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the 
effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following 
established risk management policies including the use of 
derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial 
instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.

The Company has adopted the principles of Accounting 
Standard  30,  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement  (AS  30)  issued  by  ICAI  except  to  the 
extent  the  adoption  of  AS  30  does  not  conflict  with 
existing accounting standards prescribed by Companies 
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and other authoritative 
pronouncements.

In  accordance  with  the  recognition  and  measurement 
principles  set  out  in  AS  30,  changes  in  fair  value  of 
derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow 
hedges  are  recognised  directly  in  shareholders’  funds 
and reclassified into the profit and loss account upon the 
occurrence of the hedged transaction. The Company also 
designates  derivative  financial  instruments  as  hedges 
of net investment in non-integral foreign operation. The 
portion of the changes in fair value of derivative financial 
instruments  determined  to  be  an  effective  hedge  are 
recognised  in  the  shareholders’  funds  and  would  be 
recognised in the statement of profit and loss upon sale 
or disposal of related non-integral foreign operation.

Changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of 
the hedges and derivatives that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting are recognised in the statement of profit and 
loss.

The  fair  value  of  derivative  financial  instruments  is 
determined based on observable market inputs including 
currency  spot  and  forward  rates,  yield  curves,  currency 
volatility etc.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

A  financial  instrument  is  any  contract  that  gives  rise  to 
a  financial  asset  of  one  entity  and  a  financial  liability  or 
equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets of the 
Company mainly include cash and bank balances, trade 
receivables, unbilled revenues, finance lease receivables, 
employee  travel  and  other  advances,  other  loans  and 
advances  and  derivative  financial  instruments  with  a 
positive  fair  value.  Financial  liabilities  of  the  Company 
mainly comprise secured and unsecured borrowings, trade 
payables,  accrued  expenses,  eligible  current  and  non-
current liabilities and derivative financial instruments with a 
negative fair value. Financial assets are derecognized when 
all of risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial 
asset have been transferred. In cases where substantial risk 
and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are neither 
transferred nor retained, financial assets are derecognized 
only when the Company has not retained control over the 
financial asset.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company measures the financial assets and liabilities, 
except  for  derivative  financial  assets  and  liabilities  at 
amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method. 
The  Company  measures  the  short-term  payables  and 
receivables  with  no  stated  rate  of  interest  at  original 
invoice amount, if the effect of discounting is immaterial. 
Noninterest  bearing  deposits  are  discounted  to  their 
present value.

xii.  Depreciation and amortisation

The Company has provided for depreciation using straight 
line method, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the 
Companies  Act,  1956,  except  in  cases  of  the  following 
assets, which are depreciated based on estimated useful 
life, which is higher than the rates specified in Schedule 
XIV.

Nature of asset
Buildings
Computer equipment and software 
(included under plant and machinery)
Furniture and fixtures
Electrical installations  
(included under plant and machinery)
Office equipment
Vehicles
Plant and machinery

Life of asset
30 – 60 years

2 – 6 years
3 – 10 years

5 years
3 – 10 years
4 years
2 – 21 years

Fixed assets individually costing Rupees five thousand or 
less are depreciated at 100% over a period of one year.

Assets  under  finance  lease  are  amortised  over  their 
estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is lower.

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful 
life on a straight line basis. For various brands acquired by 
the Company, estimated useful life has been determined 
ranging  between  20  to  25  years. The  Company  believes 
this based on number of factors including the competitive 
environment,  market  share,  brand  history,  product  life 
cycles,  operating  plan,  no  restrictions  on  title  and  the 
macroeconomic  environment  of  the  countries  in  which 
the brands operate. Accordingly, such intangible assets are 
being amortised over the determined useful life. Payments 
for leasehold land are amortised over the period of lease.

xiii. 

Impairment of assets

Financial assets:

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether 
there  is  any  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  or 
group of financial assets is impaired. If any such indication 
exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment 
loss. The  amount  of  loss  for  short-term  receivables  is 
measured as the difference between the assets carrying 
amount and undiscounted amount of future cash flows. 
Reduction, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit 

and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is any indication 
that  if  a  previously  assessed  impairment  loss  no  longer 
exists, the recognised impairment loss is reversed, subject 
to maximum of initial carrying amount of the short-term 
receivable.

Other than financial assets:

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether 
there is any indication that a non-financial asset including 
goodwill may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the 
Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. 
If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable 
amount  of  the  cash  generating  unit  to  which  the  asset 
belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying 
amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction 
is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the 
statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date 
there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment 
loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed 
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject 
to a maximum of depreciated historical cost. In respect of 
goodwill, the impairment loss will be reversed only when 
it was caused by specific external events of an exceptional 
nature that is not expected to recur and their effects have 
been reversed by subsequent external events.

xiv.  Employee benefits

Provident fund:

Employees  receive  benefits  from  a  provident  fund. The 
employee and employer each make monthly contributions 
to the plan. A portion of the contribution is made to the 
provident fund trust managed by the Company, while the 
remainder of the contribution is made to the Government’s 
provident  fund. The  Company  is  generally  liable  for  any 
shortfall  in  the  fund  assets  based  on  the  government 
specified minimum rate of return.

Compensated absences:

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated 
absence. The  employees  can  carry-forward  a  portion  of 
the unutilized accumulating compensated absences and 
utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at 
retirement or termination of employment. The Company 
records  an  obligation  for  compensated  absences  in  the 
period  in  which  the  employee  renders  the  services  that 
increases  this  entitlement. The  Company  measures  the 
expected cost of compensated absence as the additional 
amount  that  the  Company  expects  to  pay  as  a  result  of 
the  unused  entitlement  that  has  accumulated  at  the 
balance sheet date. The Company recognizes accumulated 
compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non-
accumulating  compensated  absences  are  recognized  in 
the  period  in  which  the  absences  occur. The  Company 
recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the 
statement of profit and loss.

Gratuity:

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the 
Company  provides  for  a  lump  sum  payment  to  eligible 
employees, at retirement or termination of employment 
based on the last drawn salary and years of employment 
with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the 
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), HDFC Standard 
Life, TATA AIG and Birla Sun-life. The Company’s obligation 
in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit 
plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation carried 
out by an independent actuary using the projected unit 
credit  method. The  Company  recognizes  actuarial  gains 
and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

Superannuation:

Superannuation  plan,  a  defined  contribution  scheme,  is 
administered  by  the  LIC  and  ICICI  Prudential  Insurance 
Company  Limited.  The  Company  makes  annual 
contributions  based  on  a  specified  percentage  of  each 
eligible employee’s salary.

xv.  Employee stock options

The Company determines the compensation cost based 
on the intrinsic value method. The compensation cost is 
amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

xvi.  Taxes

Income tax:

The  current  charge  for  income  taxes  is  calculated  in 
accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Tax liability 
for domestic taxes has been computed after considering 
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). The excess tax paid under 
MAT provisions being over and above regular tax liability can 
be carried forward and set off against future tax liabilities 
computed under regular tax provisions. Accordingly, MAT 
credit  has  been  recognized,  wherever  applicable  on  the 
balance sheet which can be carried forward for a period 
of ten years from the year of recognition.

Deferred tax:

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  the 
future tax consequences attributable to timing differences 
that result between the profit offered for income taxes and 
the profit as per the financial statements of each entity in 
the Group.

Deferred  taxes  are  recognised  in  respect  of  timing 
differences which originate during the tax holiday period 
but reverse after the tax holiday period. For this purpose, 
reversal  of  timing  difference  is  determined  using  first  in 
first out method.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  using 
the  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or 

Consolidated Financial Statements

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The effect 
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates 
is recognised in the period that includes the enactment/
substantive enactment date.

Deferred tax assets on timing differences are recognised 
only if there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future 
taxable  income  will  be  available  against  which  such 
deferred  tax  assets  can  be  realized.  However,  deferred 
tax  assets  on  the  timing  differences  when  unabsorbed 
depreciation  and  losses  carried  forward  exist,  are 
recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty 
that  sufficient  future  taxable  income  will  be  available 
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness 
of their respective carrying amounts at each balance sheet 
date.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, it’s current 
and non-current tax assets and liabilities, where it has a 
legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such 
assets and liabilities on a net basis.

xvii.  Earnings per share

Basic:

The  number  of  equity  shares  used  in  computing  basic 
earnings  per  share  is  the  weighted  average  number  of 
shares outstanding during the year excluding equity shares 
held by controlled trust.

Diluted:

The number of equity shares used in computing diluted 
earnings  per  share  comprises  the  weighted  average 
number  of  equity  shares  considered  for  deriving  basic 
earnings per share, and also the weighted average number 
of  equity  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 period, unless issued at a later 
date. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive 
equity shares are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus 
shares issued.

xviii.  Cash flow statement

Cash  flows  are  reported  using  the  indirect  method, 
whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects 
of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or 
accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The 
cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and 
financing activities of the Company are segregated.

Rules, 2006.

i) 

ii) 

iii) 

As permitted by AS 30, the Company has designated 
a  yen-denominated  foreign  currency  borrowing 
amounting to JPY 16.5 billion (2011: JPY 16.5 billion) 
along with a floating for floating Cross-Currency Interest 
Rate Swap (CCIRS), as a hedging instrument to hedge 
its net investment in a non-integral foreign operation. 
In  addition,  the  Company  has  also  designated  yen-
denominated foreign currency borrowing amounting to 
JPY 8 billion (2011: JPY 8 billion) along with floating for 
fixed CCIRS as cash flow hedge of the yen-denominated 
borrowing and also as a hedge of net investment in 
non-integral foreign operation.

Accordingly,  the  translation  gain/(loss)  on  the 
foreign  currency  borrowings  and  portion  of  the 
changes in fair value of CCIRS which are determined 
to  be  effective  hedge  of  net  investment  in  non-
integral  operation  and  cash  flow  hedge  of  yen-
denominated  borrowings  aggregating  to  `  (1,633) 
for the year ended March 31, 2012 (2011: ` 447) was 
recognised in translation reserve / hedging reserve 
in shareholders’ funds. The amount of gain/(loss) of  
` (1,627) for the year ended March 31, 2012 (2011: 
`  142)  recognised  in  translation  reserve  would  be 
transferred  to  profit  and  loss  account  upon  sale  or 
disposal of the non-integral foreign operation and the 
amount of gain / (loss) of ` (6) for year ended March 
31,  2012  (2011:  `  305)  recognised  in  the  hedging 
reserve  would  be  transferred  to  the  statement  of 
profit and loss occurrence of the hedged transaction.

In  accordance  with  AS  11,  if  the  Company  had 
continued  to  recognize  translation  (losses)  /gains 
on  foreign  currency  borrowing  in  the  statement 
of  profit  and  loss,  the  foreign  currency  borrowing 
would  not  have  been  eligible  to  be  combined 
with  CCIRS  for  hedge  accounting.  Consequently, 
the  CCIRS  also  would  not  have  qualified  for  hedge 
accounting and changes in fair value of CCIRS would 
have  to  be  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit 
and loss. As a result profit after tax would have been 
lower by ` 1,633 for the year ended March 31, 2012 
(2011:  higher by ` 447).

29.  Derivatives

As of March 31, 2012, the Company has recognised losses 
of ` 1,605 (2011: ` 1,226) relating to derivative financial 
instruments  (comprising  of  foreign  currency  forward 
contract,  option  contracts  and  floating  to  fixed  CCIRS) 
that are designated as effective cash flow hedges in the 
shareholders’ funds.

In addition to the derivative instruments discussed above in 
Note 28, the Company has also designated certain foreign 
currency  forward  contracts  to  hedge  its  net  investment 

Consolidated Financial Statements

in  non-integral  foreign  operations. The  Company  has 
recognized loss of ` 1,153 for the year ended March 31, 
2012  (2011:  `  122)  relating  to  the  derivative  financial 
instruments  in  translation  reserve  in  the  shareholders’ 
funds.

principal amounts of the Company’s derivative contracts

Wipro GE Medical Systems (Wipro GE)

The  Company  has  a  49%  equity  interest  in Wipro  GE 
Healthcare Private Limited (Wipro GE), an entity in which 
General  Electric,  USA  holds  the  majority  equity  interest. 
The shareholders agreement provides specific rights to the 
two shareholders. Management believes that these specific 
rights do not confer joint control as defined in Accounting 
Standard  27 “Financial  Reporting  of  Interests  in  Joint 
Ventures”. Consequently, Wipro GE is not considered as a 
joint venture and consolidation of financial statements is 
carried out as per the equity method in terms of Accounting 
Standard 23 “Accounting for Investments in Associates in 
Consolidated financial statements”.

Wipro GE had received tax demands aggregating to ` 2,615 
(including interest) arising primarily on account of transfer 
pricing  adjustments,  denial  of  export  benefits  and  tax

holiday benefits claimed by Wipro GE under the Income Tax 
Act, 1961 (the “Act”) for the year ended March 31, 2001 to 
March 31, 2007. The appeals filed against the said demand 
before the Appellate authorities have been allowed in favor 
of the Company by first appellate authority for the years 
upto March 2004 and further appeals have been filed by 
the  Income  tax  authorities  before  the  second  appellate 
authority. The first appellate authority has granted partial 
relief for the year ended March 31, 2005 and further appeal 
would  be  preferred  by  the  Company  before  the  second 
appellate authority.  The Company filed appeal before the 
second appellate authority for the year ended March 31, 
2006 after receiving the assessment orders following the 
directions  of  the  Dispute  Resolution  Panel. The  second 
appellate  authority  passed  an  order  directing  assessing 
officer  (AO)  to  give  fair  opportunity  of  hearing  to  the 
Company, the case is pending with AO. For the year ended 
March  31,  2007,  the  appeal  filed  against  the  demand  is 
pending before the first appellate authority.

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order of the appellate authority upholding the claims of 
Wipro GE, Wipro GE believes that the final outcome of the 
disputes should be in favour of Wipro GE and will not have 
any  material  adverse  effect  on  its  financial  position  and 
results of operations.

Others

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2012,  the  Company 
entered into an agreement to purchase 26% of the equity 
investments in Wipro Kawasaki Precision Machinery Pvt. 
Ltd.  for  a  cash  consideration  of  `  130. This  investment 
is  accounted  as  an  equity  method  investment  under 
Accounting Standard 23, “Accounting for Investments in 
Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements”.

31.  Sale of financial assets

From  time  to  time,  in  the  normal  course  of  business, 
the  Company  transfers  accounts  receivables  and  net 
investment in finance lease receivables (financials assets) to 
banks. Under the terms of the arrangements, the Company 
surrenders control over the financial assets and transfer is 
without recourse. Accordingly, such transfers are recorded 
as  sale  of  financial  assets.  Gains  and  losses  on  sale  of 
financial assets without recourse are recorded at the time 
of sale based on the carrying value of the financial assets 
and fair value of servicing liability.

In  certain  cases,  transfer  of  financial  assets  may  be  with 
recourse. Under arrangements with recourse, the Company 
is obligated to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, 
subject  to  limits  specified  in  the  agreement  with  the 
banks. The  Company  has  transferred  trade  receivables 
with  recourse  obligation  and  accordingly,  in  such  cases 
the amounts received are recorded as borrowings in the 
balance sheet and cash flows from financing activities. As 
of  March  31,  2012  and  2011,  the  maximum  amounts  of 

recourse obligation in respect of the transferred financial 
assets (recorded as borrowings) are ` 1,163 and ` 1,085 
respectively.

32.  Finance lease receivables

The Company provides lease financing for the traded and 
manufactured products primarily through finance leases. 
The  finance  lease  portfolio  contains  only  the  normal 
collection  risk  with  no  important  uncertainties  with 
respect  to  future  costs. These  receivables  are  generally 
due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over 
periods ranging from 3 to 5 years.

The components of finance lease receivables are as follows:

Gross investment in lease

Not later than one year 
Later than one year and not later 
than five years 
Unguaranteed residual values

Gratuity:  In  accordance  with  applicable  Indian  laws, 
the  Company  provides  for  gratuity,  a  defined  benefit 
retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories 
of  employees. The  Gratuity  Plan  provides  a  lump  sum 
payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination 
of  employment,  an  amount  based  on  the  respective 
employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment 
with  the  Company. The  Company  provides  the  gratuity 
benefit through annual contributions to a fund managed 
by  the  Life  Insurance  Corporation  of  India  (LIC),  HDFC 
Standard Life, TATA AIG and Birla Sunlife (‘Insurer’). Under 
this  plan,  the  settlement  obligation  remains  with  the 
Company, although the Insurer administers the plan and 
determines the contribution premium required to be paid 
by the Company.

The  Company  assesses  these  assumptions  with  its 
projected  long-term  plans  of  growth  and  prevalent 
industry standards. The estimates of future salary increase, 
considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, 
seniority,  promotion  and  other  relevant  factors  such  as 
supply and demand factors in the employment market.

Superannuation:  Apart  from  being  covered  under 
the  gratuity  plan,  the  employees  of  the  Company  also 
participate in a defined contribution plan maintained by 
the Company. This plan is administered by the LIC & ICICI. 
The  Company  makes  annual  contributions  based  on  a 
specified percentage of each covered employee’s salary.

For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2012,  the  Company 
contributed ` 493 to superannuation fund (2011: ` 631).

Provident  Fund  (PF):  In  addition  to  the  above,  all 
employees  receive  benefits  from  a  provident  fund. The 
employee and employer each make monthly contributions 
to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary. 
A portion of the contribution is made to the provident fund 
trust established by the Company, while the remainder of 
the contribution is made to the Government’s provident 
fund.

The interest rate payable by the trust to the beneficiaries 
is regulated by the statutory authorities. The Company has 
an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between 
the returns from its investments and the administered rate.

Upto  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  in  the  absence  of 
guidance  from  the  Actuarial  Society  of  India,  actuarial 
valuation could not have been applied to reliably measure 
the provident fund liabilities. During the year ended March 
31,  2012,  the  Actuarial  Society  of  India  issued  the  final 
guidance  for  measurement  of  provident  fund  liabilities. 
Accordingly, based on such actuarial valuation there is no 
shortfall in the fund as of March 31, 2012.

As  of  March  31,  2012,  provision  for  leave  encashment 
of  `  3,289  has  been  presented  under  Provisions  – 
Employee  retirement  benefits. The  liability  as  of  March 
31,  2011  of  `  2,028  that  was  previously  included  under 
Sundry  Creditors  in  the  financial  statements  for  year 
ended  March  31,  2011  prepared  under  the  pre-revised 
Schedule VI  of  the  Companies  Act,  1956,  has  now  been 
accordingly  reclassified  under  provisions.  Provision  for 
leave  encashment  is  a  deferred  deduction  under  the 
tax  laws  which  can  be  claimed  only  on  actual  payment. 
Accordingly,  the  consequent  impact  on  current  and 
deferred tax has been given effect.

35.  Employee stock option

i) 

ii) 

Employees  covered  under  Stock  Option  Plans  and 
Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Option Plans (collectively 
“stock  option  plans”)  are  granted  an  option  to 
purchase  shares  of  the  Company  at  the  respective 
exercise  prices,  subject  to  requirements  of  vesting 
conditions. These options generally vest in tranches 
over  a  period  of  five  years  from  the  date  of  grant. 
Upon vesting, the employees can acquire one equity 
share  for  every  option. The  maximum  contractual 
term  for  aforementioned  stock  option  plans  is 
generally 10 years.

The stock compensation cost is computed under the 
intrinsic value method and amortised on a straight 
line basis over the total vesting period of five years. 
The intrinsic value on the date of grant approximates 
the fair value. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the 
Company has recorded stock compensation expense 
of ` 954 (2011: ` 1,433).

The compensation committee of the board evaluates the performance and other criteria of employees and approves the 
grant of options. These options vest with employees over a specified period subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. 
Upon vesting, employees are eligible to apply and secure allotment of Company’s shares at a price determined on the 
date of grant of options. The particulars of options granted under various plans are tabulated below. (The numbers of 
shares in the table below are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares issues).

Income tax

The  provision  for  taxation  includes  tax  liability  in  India 
on  the  Company’s  worldwide  income. The  tax  has  been 
computed  on  the  worldwide  income  as  reduced  by  the 
various  deductions  and  exemptions  provided  by  the 
Income tax act in India (Act) and the tax credit in India for 
the tax liabilities payable in foreign countries.

Most  of  the  Company’s  operations  are  through  units  in 
Software Technology Parks (‘STPs’) and Special Economic 
Zones (SEZ’s). Income from STPs is not eligible for deduction 
from 1st April, 2011. Income from SEZ’s are eligible for 100% 
deduction for the first 5 years, 50% deduction for the next 
5 years and 50% deduction for another 5 years subject to 
fulfilling certain conditions.

Pursuant to the amendments in the Act, the Company has 
calculated its tax liability after considering the provisions 
of law relating to Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). As per the 
Act, any excess of MAT paid over the normal tax payable 
can be carried forward and set off against the future tax 
liabilities. Accordingly an amount of ` 1,223 (2011: ` 488) 
is included under ‘Short term loans and advances’ in the 
balance sheet as of March 31, 2012.

i) 

Current taxes are net of reversal of provisions recorded 
in  earlier  periods,  which  are  no  longer  required, 
amounting  to  `  845  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2012 (2011: ` 590) and MAT credit of ` 1,061 for the 
year ended March 31, 2012 (2011: Nil).

The components of the deferred tax, net are as follows:

at Bangalore for the years ended March 31, 2001 to March 
31, 2008. The appeals filed against the said demand before 
the Appellate authorities have been allowed in favor of the 
Company by the second appellate authority for the years 
upto March 31, 2004 and further appeals have been filed 
by the Income tax authorities before the Honorable High 
Court. The first appellate authority has granted relief for the 
year ended March 31, 2005 and further appeal has been 
filed by the Income tax authorities before the Income-tax 
Appellate Tribunal. The Company is in appeal before the 
Income-tax Appellate Tribunal for the years ended March 
31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 after receiving the assessment 
orders following the directions of the Dispute Resolution 
Panel. For the year ended March 31, 2008, the objection 
against the draft assessment order is pending before the 
Dispute Resolution Panel.

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order of the appellate authority upholding the claims of the 
Company for earlier years, the Company believes that the 
final outcome of the above disputes should be in favor of 
the Company and there should not be any material impact 
on the financial statements.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims 
which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The 
resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have 
a material and adverse effect on the results of operations 
or the financial position of the Company.

42.  Acquisitions

In  June  2011,  the  Company  acquired  the  global  oil  and 
gas  information  technology  practice  of  the  Commercial 
Business  Services  Business  Unit  of  Science  Applications 
International  Corporation  Inc.  along  with  100%  of  the 
share capital in SAIC Europe Limited and SAIC India Private 
Limited. In July 2011, the Company also acquired 100% of 
the share capital of SAIC Gulf LLC (hereafter the acquisitions 
are collectively referred to as ‘oil and gas business of SAIC’). 
The  oil  and  gas  business  of  SAIC  provides  consulting, 
system integration and outsourcing services to global oil 
majors  with  significant  domain  capabilities  in  the  areas 
of digital oil field, petro-technical data management and 
petroleum application services, addressing the upstream 
segment. The Company believes that the acquisition will 
further strengthen Wipro’s presence in the Energy, Natural 
Resources  and  Utilities  domain. The  goodwill  of  `  6,004 
comprises of value of expected synergies arising from the 
acquisition. The  purchase  consideration  of  `  7,536  was 
settled in cash.

43.  Segment reporting

` 40,040 (including interest of ` 10,616) arising primarily

46.  Hitherto the applicability of revised Schedule VI from the current year, the Company has reclassified previous year figures 
to conform to this year’s classification. The adoption of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement 
principles followed for preparation of the financial statements. However, it significantly impacts presentation and disclosures 
made in the financial statements, particularly presentation of Balance Sheet.

REpORT OF INDEpENDENT REgISTERED pubLIC ACCOuNTINg FIRM

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

The Board of Directors and Equity holders 
Wipro Limited:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Wipro Limited and subsidiaries (“the Company”) 
as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and 
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of the Company as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the 
three-year period ended March 31, 2012, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by International 
Accounting Standards Board. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated 
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated May 
16, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

2.  basis of preparation of financial statements

(i) 

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
and  its  interpretations  (“IFRS”),  as  issued  by  the  International 
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

(ii)  Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in 
compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Accounting policies 
have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these 
financial statements.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  correspond  to  the 
classification provisions contained in IAS 1(revised), “Presentation 
of Financial Statements”. For clarity, various items are aggregated 
in the statements of income and statements of financial position. 
These  items  are  disaggregated  separately  in  the  Notes  to 
the  consolidated  financial  statements,  where  applicable. The 
accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods 
presented in these consolidated financial statements.

All amounts included in the consolidated financial statements 
are  reported  in  millions  of  Indian  rupees  (Rupees  in  millions) 
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated. Due to 
rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document 
may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not 
precisely reflect the absolute figures.

(iii)  Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on 
a historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for 
the following material items which have been measured at fair 
value as required by relevant IFRS:-

a.  Derivative financial instruments; and

(iv)  Convenience translation (unaudited)

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have 
been  prepared  and  reported  in  Indian  rupees,  the  national 
currency of India. Solely for the convenience of the readers, the 
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 
March 31, 2012, have been translated into United States dollars 
at  the  certified  foreign  exchange  rate  of  US$1  =  `    50.89,  as 
published by Federal Reserve Board of Governors on March 30, 
2012. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts 
have been, could have been or could be converted into United 
States dollars at such a rate or any other rate.

(v)  Use of estimates and judgment

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in 
conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, 
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of 
accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from 
those estimates.

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  a 
periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized 
in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future 
periods  affected.  In  particular,  information  about  significant 
areas  of  estimation,  uncertainty  and  critical  judgments  in 
applying  accounting  policies  that  have  the  most  significant 
effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial 
statements is included in the following notes:

a) 
Revenue recognition: The Company uses the percentage of 
completion method using the input (cost expended) method to 
measure progress towards completion in respect of fixed price 
contracts. Percentage of completion method accounting relies 
on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. This 
method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of the 
revenues and costs applicable to various elements of the contract 
can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future 
costs  to  complete  include  estimates  of  future  labor  costs  and 
productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these 
contracts  depends  on  estimates  that  are  assessed  continually 
during the term of these contracts, recognized revenue and profit 
are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. 
When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is 
provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable. 
To date, the Company has not incurred a material loss on any 
fixed-price and fixed-timeframe contract.

b)  Goodwill: Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually 
and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its 
carrying value. The recoverable amount of cash generating units 
is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less 
cost to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and

assumptions which includes revenue growth rates and operating 
margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted 
discount rate, future economic and market conditions.

(i) 

Significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

c) 
Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company 
are India and the United States of America. Significant judgments 
are  involved  in  determining  the  provision  for  income  taxes 
including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of 
being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve 
complex  issues,  which  can  only  be  resolved  over  extended 
time periods. Though, the Company considers all these issues 
in  estimating  income  taxes,  there  could  be  an  unfavorable 
resolution of such issues.

d)  Deferred  taxes:  Deferred  tax  is  recorded  on  temporary 
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and 
their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted. The ultimate realization of deferred tax 
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits 
during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax 
loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company considers 
the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected 
future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of 
the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, 
could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable 
income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

e) 
Business  combination:  In  accounting  for  business 
combinations, judgment is required in identifying whether an 
identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from 
goodwill.  Additionally,  estimating  the  acquisition  date  fair 
value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
involves  management  judgment. These  measurements  are 
based on information available at the acquisition date and are 
based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed 
reasonable  by  management.  Changes  in  these  judgments, 
estimates, and assumptions can materially affect the results of 
operations.

f )  Other estimates: The  preparation  of  financial  statements 
involves  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported 
amount of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities 
at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of 
revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Specifically, the 
Company estimates the uncollectability of accounts receivable by 
analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, 
customer  credit-worthiness  and  current  economic  trends.  If 
the  financial  condition  of  a  customer  deteriorates,  additional 
allowances may be required. Similarly, the Company provides 
for  inventory  obsolescence,  excess  inventory  and  inventories 
with  carrying  values  in  excess  of  net  realizable  value  based 
on  assessment  of  the  future  demand,  market  conditions  and 
specific inventory management initiatives. If market conditions 
and  actual  demands  are  less  favorable  than  the  Company’s 
estimates, additional inventory provisions may be required. In all 
cases inventory is carried at the lower of historical cost and net 
realizable value. The stock compensation expense is determined 
based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will 
eventually vest.

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial 
statements of the Parent Company and entities controlled by the 
Parent Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the 
Company has the power to govern the financial and operating 
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 
In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are 
exercisable are taken into account.

All intra-company balances, transactions, income and expenses 
including unrealized income or expenses are eliminated in full 
on consolidation.

Equity accounted investees

Equity accounted investees are entities in respect of which, the 
Company  has  significant  influence,  but  not  control,  over  the 
financial  and  operating  policies.  Generally,  a  Company  has  a 
significant influence if it holds between 20 and 50 percent of 
the voting power of another entity. Investments in such entities 
are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted 
investees) and are initially recognized at cost.

(ii)  Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each 
of the Company’s subsidiaries and equity accounted investees 
are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment in which these entities operate (i.e. the “functional 
currency”).  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
presented in Indian Rupee, the national currency of India, which 
is  the  functional  currency  of Wipro  Limited  and  its  domestic 
subsidiaries and equity accounted investees.

(iii)  Foreign currency transactions and translation

a) 

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the respective 
functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the 
dates  of  the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses 
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the 
translation at the exchange rates prevailing at reporting date of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
are recognized in the statement of income and reported within 
foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results of operating 
activities.  Gains/losses  relating  to  translation  or  settlement  of 
borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within 
finance expense except foreign exchange gains/losses on short-
term borrowings, which are considered as a natural economic 
hedge for the foreign currency monetary assets are classified and 
reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results 
from  operating  activities.  Non  monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical 
cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of 
transaction.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

b) 

Foreign operations

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, 
the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations that 
have local functional currency are translated into Indian Rupee 
using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income 
and  expense  items  are  translated  at  the  average  exchange 
rates  for  the  period.  Exchange  differences  arising,  if  any,  are 
recognized in other comprehensive income and held in foreign 
currency  translation  reserve  (FCTR),  a  component  of  equity. 
When a foreign operation is disposed off, the relevant amount 
recognized in FCTR is transferred to the statement of income 
as part of the profit or loss on disposal. Goodwill and fair value 
adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation 
are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and 
translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date.

c)  Others

Foreign  currency  differences  arising  on  the  translation  or 
settlement  of  a  financial  liability  designated  as  a  hedge  of  a 
net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other 
comprehensive income and presented within equity in the FCTR 
to  the  extent  the  hedge is  effective. To  the  extent  the  hedge 
is  ineffective,  such  difference  are  recognized  in  statement  of 
income. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed 
off,  the  relevant  amount  recognized  in  FCTR  is  transferred 
to  the  statement  of  income  as  part  of  the  profit  or  loss  on 
disposal. Foreign currency differences arising from translation 
of  intercompany  receivables  or  payables  relating  to  foreign 
operations,  the  settlement  of  which  is  neither  planned  nor 
likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of 
net investment in foreign operation and are recognized in FCTR.

(iv)  Financial Instruments

a)  Non-derivative financial instruments

Non derivative financial instruments consist of:

- 

- 

 financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, 
trade receivables, unbilled revenues, finance lease receivables, 
employee and other advances, investments in equity and debt 
securities and eligible current and non-current assets;

 financial liabilities, which include long and short-term loans 
and borrowings, bank overdrafts, trade payable, eligible 
current liabilities and non-current liabilities.

Non  derivative  financial  instruments  are  recognized  initially 
at  fair  value  including  any  directly  attributable  transaction 
costs. Financial assets are derecognized when substantial risks 
and  rewards  of  ownership  of  the  financial  asset  have  been 
transferred.  In  cases  where  substantial  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership  of  the  financial  assets  are  neither  transferred  nor 
retained,  financial  assets  are  derecognized  only  when  the 
Company has not retained control over the financial asset.

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  non  derivative  financial 
instruments are measured as described below:

A.  Cash and cash equivalents

The  Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalent  consist  of  cash  on 
hand  and  in  banks  and  demand  deposits  with  banks,  which 

can be withdrawn at anytime, without prior notice or penalty 
on the principal.

For  the  purposes  of  the  cash  flow  statement,  cash  and  cash 
equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits 
with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable 
on  demand  and  are  considered  part  of  the  Company’s  cash 
management system.

b.  Available-for-sale financial assets

The Company has classified investments in liquid mutual funds, 
equity  securities,  other  than  equity  accounted  investees  and 
certain  debt  securities  (primarily  certificate  of  deposits  with 
banks) as available-for-sale financial assets. These investments 
are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized 
in other comprehensive income and presented within equity. 
The impairment losses, if any, are reclassified from equity into 
statement of income. When an available for sale financial asset 
is derecognized, the related cumulative gain or loss in equity is 
transferred to statement of income.

C. 

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with 
fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an 
active market. They are presented as current assets, except for 
those maturing later than 12 months after the balance sheet 
date  which  are  presented  as  non-current  assets.  Loans  and 
receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction 
costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the 
effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and 
receivables comprise trade receivables, unbilled revenues, cash 
and cash equivalents and other assets.

b)  Derivative financial instruments

The  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  fluctuations  on 
foreign  currency  assets,  liabilities,  net  investment  in  foreign 
operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign 
currency.

The  Company  limits  the  effect  of  foreign  exchange  rate 
fluctuations by following established risk management policies 
including  the  use  of  derivatives.   The  Company  enters  into 
derivative  financial  instruments  where  the  counterparty  is  a 
bank.

Derivatives  are  recognized  and  measured  at  fair  value. 
Attributable  transaction  cost  are  recognized  in  statement  of 
income as cost.

A.  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 held in cash flow hedging reserve, 
a component of equity 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 income and reported within 
foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from operating 
activities. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for 
hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative 
gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve 
is transferred to the statement of income upon the occurrence of 
the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction 
is  no  longer  expected  to  occur,  such  cumulative  balance  is 
immediately recognized in the statement of income.

d) 

Share based payment reserve

The share based payment reserve is used to record the value 
of  equity-settled  share  based  payment  transactions  with 
employees. The  amounts  recorded  in  share  based  payment 
reserve are transferred to share premium upon exercise of stock 
options by employees.

b.  Hedges of net investment in foreign operations

e) 

Cash flow hedging reserve

The  Company  designates  derivative  financial  instruments  as 
hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The Company 
has  also  designated  a  combination  of  foreign  currency 
denominated borrowings and related cross-currency swaps as 
a hedge of net investment in foreign operations. Changes in the 
fair value of the derivative hedging instruments and gains/losses 
on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated 
borrowings designated as a hedge of net investment in foreign 
operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and 
within equity in the FCTR 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 income and reported 
within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from 
operating activities.

Changes  in  fair  value  of  derivative  hedging  instruments 
designated and effective as a cash flow hedge are recognized 
in other comprehensive income (net of taxes), and presented 
within equity in the cash flow hedging reserve.

f) 

Foreign currency translation reserve

The exchange difference arising from the translation of financial 
statements  of  foreign  subsidiaries,    differences  arising  from 
translation of long-term intercompany receivables or payables 
relating to foreign operations, changes in fair value of the derivative 
hedging instruments and gains/losses on translation or settlement 
of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as hedge 
of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in other 
comprehensive income, and presented within equity in the FCTR.

C.  Others

Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments 
not designated as cash flow hedges or hedges of net investment 
in foreign operations are recognized in the statement of income 
and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within 
results from operating activities.

Changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of foreign 
currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which have 
not been designated as hedges are recorded in finance expense.

g)  Other reserve

Changes in the fair value of available for sale financial assets is 
recognized in other comprehensive income (net of taxes), and 
presented within equity in other reserve.

h)  Dividend

A  final  dividend,  including  tax  thereon,  on  common  stock  is 
recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders. 
An interim dividend, including tax thereon, is recorded as a liability 
on the date of declaration by the board of directors.

(v)  Equity and share capital

a) 

Share capital and share premium

The Company has only one class of equity shares. The authorized 
share capital of the Company is 2,650,000,000 equity shares, par 
value ` 2 per share. Par value of the equity shares is recorded as 
share capital and the amount received in excess of par value is 
classified as share premium.

Every holder of the equity shares, as reflected in the records of the 
Company as of the date of the shareholder meeting shall have 
one vote in respect of each share held for all matters submitted 
to vote in the shareholder meeting.

b) 

Shares held by controlled trust (Treasury shares)

The Company’s equity shares held by the controlled trust, which 
is consolidated as a part of the Group are classified as Treasury 
Shares. The Company has 14,841,271 treasury shares as of March 
31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Treasury shares are recorded at 
acquisition cost.

c) 

Retained earnings

Retained  earnings  comprises  of  the  Company’s  prior  years’ 
undistributed earnings after taxes. A portion of these earnings 
amounting to ` 1,144 is not freely available for distribution.

(vi)  Property, plant and equipment

a) 

Recognition and measurement

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost 
includes  expenditures  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition 
of  the  asset.  Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the 
construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized 
as part of the cost.

b)  Depreciation

The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over 
the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis from the date 
the assets are available for use. Assets acquired under finance 
lease  and  leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  over  the 
shorter of estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease 
term. The estimated useful life of assets are reviewed and where 
appropriate are adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives 
of assets for the current and comparative period are as follows:

Category
Buildings
Plant and machinery
Computer equipment and software
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Vehicles

useful life
30 to 60 years
2 to 21 years
2 to 6 years
3 to 10 years
4 years

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

When  parts  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate 
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 
Subsequent  expenditure  relating  to  property,  plant  and 
equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future 
economic  benefits  associated  with  these  will  flow  to  the 
Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, 
plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and 
the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use 
before such date are disclosed under capital work- in-progress.

(vii)  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. Identifiable 
assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in 
a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the 
date of an acquisition. Transaction costs incurred in connection 
with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

The  cost  of  an  acquisition  also  includes  the  fair  value  of  any 
contingent consideration. Any subsequent changes to the fair 
value  of  contingent  consideration  classified  as  liabilities  are 
recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

a) 

Arrangements where the Company is the lessee

Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Company 
assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the 
lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present 
value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are 
apportioned between the finance charge and the outstanding 
liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the 
lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability.

Leases  where  the  lessor  retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and 
rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments 
made under operating leases are recognized in the statement of 
income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

b) 

Arrangements where the Company is the lessor

In  certain  arrangements,  the  Company  recognizes  revenue 
from  the  sale  of  products  given  under  finance  leases. The 
Company records gross finance receivables, unearned income 
and the estimated residual value of the leased equipment on 
consummation of such leases. Unearned income represents the 
excess of the gross finance lease receivable plus the estimated 
residual  value  over  the  sales  price  of  the  equipment. The 
Company  recognizes  unearned  income  as  financing  revenue 
over the lease term using the effective interest method.

a)  Goodwill

(ix) 

Inventories

The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the Company’s share 
in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and 
contingent liabilities is recognized as goodwill. If the excess is 
negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in 
the statement of income.

b) 

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of an 
acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination 
are  measured  at  fair  value  as  at  the  date  of  an  acquisition. 
Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost 
less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life 
reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected 
to be generated and consumed. Intangible assets with indefinite 
lives  comprising  of  brands  are  not  amortized,  but  instead 
tested for impairment at least annually and written down to the 
recoverable amount as required.

The estimated useful life of amortizable intangibles are reviewed 
and  where  appropriate  are  adjusted,  annually. The  estimated 
useful lives of the amortizable intangible assets for the current 
and comparative periods are as follows:

Category
Customer-related intangibles
Marketing related intangibles

(viii)  Leases

useful life
2 to 11 years
20 to 30 years

Inventories  are  valued  at  lower  of  cost  and  net  realizable 
value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost is 
determined using the weighted average method.

(x) 

Impairment

a) 

Financial assets

The  Company  assesses  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there 
is  any  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  or  a  group  of 
financial  assets  is  impaired.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the 
Company estimates the amount of impairment loss. 

A. 

Loans and receivables

Impairment losses on trade and other receivables are recognized 
using separate allowance accounts. Refer Note 2 (v) for further 
information regarding the determination of impairment.

b.  Available for sale financial asset

When the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets declines 
below acquisition cost and there is objective evidence that the 
asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that has been recognized 
in other comprehensive income, a component of equity in other 
reserve is transferred to the statement of income. An impairment 
loss may be reversed in subsequent periods, if the indicators for 
the impairment no longer exist. Such reversals are recognized 
in other comprehensive income.

b)  Non financial assets

The  Company  assesses  long-lived  assets,  such  as  property, 
plant, equipment and acquired intangible assets for impairment 

Annual Report 2011-12

204

05 US Gap IFRS_2012.indd   204

6/19/2012   7:50:55 PM

whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that 
the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  group  of  assets  may  not 
be  recoverable.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  Company 
estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable 
amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of its 
fair value less cost to sell (FVLCTS) and its value-in-use (VIU). If 
the recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount 
of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less 
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its 
recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment 
loss  and  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  income.  If  at  the 
reporting date there is an indication that a previously assessed 
impairment  loss  no  longer  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  is 
reassessed  and  the  impairment  losses  previously  recognized 
are reversed such that the asset is recognized at its recoverable 
amount  but  not  exceeding  written  down  value  which  would 
have  been  reported  if  the  impairment  losses  had  not  been 
recognized initially.

Intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives  comprising  of  brands 
are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least 
annually at the same time and written down to the recoverable 
amount as required.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the same 
time  and  when  events  occur  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate  that  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash  generating 
unit is less than its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test 
is performed at the level of cash-generating unit or groups of 
cash-generating units which represent the lowest level at which 
goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. An 
impairment in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

(xi)  Employee Benefit

a) 

Post-employment and pension plans

The  Group  participates  in  various  employee  benefit  plans. 
Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as 
either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under 
a  defined  contribution  plan,  the  Company’s  only  obligation 
is  to  pay  a  fixed  amount  with  no  obligation  to  pay  further 
contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay 
all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks 
fall on the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution 
plans is recognized as an expense during the period when the 
employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is 
the  Company’s  obligation  to  provide  agreed  benefits  to  the 
employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the 
Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations 
is calculated using the projected unit credit method.

The company has the following employee benefit plans:

A.  provident fund

Employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a 
defined benefit plan.  The employer and employees each make 
periodic contributions to the plan. A portion of the contribution 
is made to the approved provident fund trust managed by the 
Company; while the remainder of the contribution is made to 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

the government administered pension fund. The Company is 
generally liable for any shortfall in the fund assets based on the 
government specified minimum rates of return.

b. 

Superannuation

Superannuation  plan,  a  defined  contribution  scheme  is 
administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India and ICICI 
Prudential Insurance Company Limited.  The Company makes 
annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each 
eligible employee’s salary.

C.  gratuity

In  accordance  with  the  Payment  of  Gratuity  Act,  1972,  the 
Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, 
at retirement or termination of employment based on the last 
drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The 
gratuity fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of 
India (LIC), HDFC Standard Life, TATA AIG and Birla Sun-life. The 
Company’s obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a 
defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation 
using the projected unit credit method. The Company recognizes 
actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of income.

b) 

Termination benefits 

Termination  benefits  are  recognized  as  an  expense  when 
the  Company  is  demonstrably  committed,  without  realistic 
possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate 
employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide 
termination benefit as a result of an offer made to encourage 
voluntary redundancy.

c) 

Short-term benefits 

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an 
undiscounted basis and are recorded as expense as the related 
service  is  provided.  A  liability  is  recognized  for  the  amount 
expected  to  be  paid  under  short-term  cash  bonus  or  profit-
sharing plans, if the Company has a present legal or constructive 
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided 
by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

d) 

Compensated absences 

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated 
absences.   The  employees  can  carry  forward  a  portion  of  the 
unutilized accumulating compensated absences and utilize it 
in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination 
of  employment.    The  Company  records  an  obligation  for 
compensated  absences  in  the  period  in  which  the  employee 
renders  the  services  that  increases  this  entitlement.   The 
Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences 
as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a 
result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end 
of the reporting period. The Company recognizes accumulated 
compensated  absences  based  on  actuarial  valuation.  Non-
accumulating  compensated  absences  are  recognized  in  the 
period in which the absences occur. The Company recognizes 
actuarial  gains  and  losses  immediately  in  the  statement  of 
income.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

(xii)  Share based payment transaction

b. 

Fixed-price contracts

Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of 
equity settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined 
vesting  period.  Equity  instruments  granted  are  measured 
by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  instrument  at  the  date 
of  grant.  In  cases,  where  equity  instruments  are  granted  at  a 
nominal exercise price, the intrinsic value on the date of grant 
approximates the fair value. The expense is recognized in the 
statement of income with a corresponding increase to the share 
based payment reserve, a component of equity.

The equity instruments generally vest in a graded manner over 
the vesting period. The fair value determined at the grant date is 
expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of 
such grants (accelerated amortization). The stock compensation 
expense  is  determined  based  on  the  Company’s  estimate  of 
equity instruments that will eventually vest.

(xiii)  Provisions

Provisions  are  recognized  when  the  Company  has  a  present 
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required 
to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of 
the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of 
the consideration required to settle the present obligation at 
the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks 
and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a 
provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the 
receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that 
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable 
can be measured reliably.

Provisions  for  onerous  contracts  are  recognized  when  the 
expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract 
are  lower  than  the  unavoidable  costs  of  meeting  the  future 
obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts 
are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  lower  of  the  expected 
net  cost  of  fulfilling  the  contract  and  the  expected  cost  of 
terminating the contract.

(xiv)  Revenue

The  Company  derives  revenue  primarily  from  software 
development and related services, BPO services, sale of IT and 
other products.

Revenues  from  fixed-price  contracts,  including  systems 
development and integration contracts are recognized using the 
“percentage-of-completion” method. Percentage of completion 
is  determined  based  on  project  costs  incurred  to  date  as  a 
percentage of total estimated project costs required to complete 
the project. The cost expended (or input) method has been used 
to  measure  progress  towards  completion  as  there  is  a  direct 
relationship between input and productivity. If the Company does 
not have a sufficient basis to measure the progress of completion 
or to estimate the total contract revenues and costs, revenue is 
recognized only to the extent of contract cost incurred for which 
recoverability  is  probable. When  total  cost  estimates  exceed 
revenues in an arrangement, the estimated losses are recognized 
in the statement of income in the period in which such losses 
become probable based on the current contract estimates.

‘Unbilled  revenues’  represent  cost  and  earnings  in  excess  of 
billings as at the end of the reporting period. ‘Unearned revenues’ 
represent  billing  in  excess  of  revenue  recognized.  Advance 
payments received from customers for which no services have 
been rendered are presented as ‘Advance from customers’.

C.  Maintenance contract

Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over 
the period of the contract using the percentage of completion 
method. When  services  are  performed  through  an  indefinite 
number of repetitive acts over a specified period of time, revenue is 
recognized on a straight-line basis over the specified period unless 
some other method better represents the stage of completion.

In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units is 
agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such contracts, revenue 
is  recognized  with  respect  to  the  actual  output  achieved  till 
date as a percentage of total contractual output. Any residual 
service unutilized by the customer is recognized as revenue on 
completion of the term.

b) 

Products

Revenue  from  products  are  recognized  when  the  significant 
risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, 
continuing  managerial  involvement  usually  associated  with 
ownership  and  effective  control  have  ceased,  the  amount  of 
revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic 
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company 
and  the  costs  incurred  or  to  be  incurred  in  respect  of  the 
transaction can be measured reliably.

a) 

Services

c)  Multiple-element arrangements

The Company recognizes revenue when the significant terms of 
the arrangement are enforceable, services have been delivered 
and  the  collectability  is  reasonably  assured. The  method  for 
recognizing revenues and costs depends on the nature of the 
services rendered:

A.  Time and materials contracts

Revenues and costs relating to time and materials contracts are 
recognized as the related services are rendered.

Revenue from contracts with multiple-element arrangements 
are  recognized  using  the  guidance  in  IAS  18,  Revenue. The 
Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately 
identifiable  components  based  on  their  relative  fair  values 
or  on  the  residual  method.  Fair  values  are  determined  based 
on  sale  prices  for  the  components  when  it  is  regularly  sold 
separately,  third-party  prices  for  similar  components  or  cost 
plus, an appropriate business-specific profit margin related to 
the relevant component.

d)  Others

The  Company  accounts  for  volume  discounts  and  pricing 
incentives  to  customers  by  reducing  the  amount  of  revenue 
recognized at the time of sale.

Revenues are shown net of sales tax, value added tax, service 
tax and applicable discounts and allowances. Revenue includes 
excise duty.

The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the 
time when the revenue is recognized. The accruals are based 
on the Company’s historical experience of material usage and 
service delivery costs.

(xv)  Finance expense

Finance  expense  comprise  interest  cost  on  borrowings, 
impairment losses recognized on financial assets, gains / (losses) 
on  translation  or  settlement  of  foreign  currency  borrowings 
and changes in fair value and gains / (losses) on settlement of 
related derivative instruments except foreign exchange gains/
(losses), net on short-term borrowings which are considered as 
a natural economic hedge for the foreign currency monetary 
assets which are classified as foreign exchange gains/(losses), 
net within results from operating activities. Borrowing costs that 
are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognized 
in the statement of income using the effective interest method.

(xvi)  Finance and other income

Finance  and  other  income  comprises  interest  income  on 
deposits, dividend income and gains / (losses) on disposal of 
available-for-sale financial assets. Interest income is recognized 
using  the  effective  interest  method.  Dividend  income  is 
recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

(xvii) Income tax

Income  tax  comprises  current  and  deferred  tax.  Income  tax 
expense  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  income  except  to 
the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly 
recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.

a) 

Current income tax

Current  income  tax  for  the  current  and  prior  periods  are 
measured  at  the  amount  expected  to  be  recovered  from  or 
paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income 
for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the 
current tax amount are those that are enacted or substantively 
enacted by the reporting date and applicable for the period. The 
Company  offsets  current  tax  assets  and  current  tax  liabilities, 
where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized 
amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or 
to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.

b)  Deferred income tax

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

the  deferred  income  tax  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of 
goodwill  or  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable 
profits or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred income tax asset are recognized to the extent that it 
is probable that taxable profit will be available against which 
the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of 
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

Deferred  income  tax  liabilities  are  recognized  for  all  taxable 
temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary 
differences  associated  with  investments  in  subsidiaries, 
associates and foreign branches where the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable 
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable 
future.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed 
at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to 
allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset 
is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the 
reporting date.

The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, 
where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or 
on different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle 
the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax 
assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

(xviii) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average 
number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted 
for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed 
using  the  weighted-average  number  of  equity  and  dilutive 
equivalent  shares  outstanding  during  the  period,  using  the 
treasury stock method for options and warrants, except where 
the results would be anti-dilutive.

New Accounting standards adopted by the Company:

The  Company  adopted  IAS  24  (revised  2009) “Related  Party 
Disclosures” (“IAS 24”) effective April 1, 2011. The purpose of the 
revision is to simplify the definition of a related party, clarifying 
its  intended  meaning  and  eliminating  inconsistencies  from 
the definition. Adoption of IAS 24 (revised 2009), did not have 
a material effect on these consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting standards not yet adopted by the Company:

Deferred  income  tax  is  recognized  using  the  balance  sheet 
approach.  Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are 
recognized  for  deductible  and  taxable  temporary  differences 
arising  between  the  tax  base  of  assets  and  liabilities  and 
their  carrying  amount  in  financial  statements,  except  when 

In  October,  2010,  the  IASB  issued  an  amendment  to  IFRS  7 
“Disclosures – Transfers of financial assets”. The  purpose  of  the 
amendment is to enhance the existing disclosures in IFRS 7 when 
an asset is transferred but is not derecognized and introduce 
new disclosures for assets that are derecognized but the entity

continues to have a continuing exposure to the asset after the 
sale. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning on or 
after July 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted. The Company 
is evaluating the impact, these amendments will have on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  December,  2011,  the  IASB  issued  an  amendment  to  IFRS 7 
“Disclosures – offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities”. 
The amended standard requires additional disclosures where 
financial assets and financial liabilities are offset in the balance 
sheet. These disclosures would provide users with information 
that is useful in (a) evaluating the effect or potential effect of 
netting  arrangements  on  an  entity’s  financial  position  and 
(b)  analyzing  and  comparing  financial  statements  prepared 
in  accordance  with  IFRSs  and  U.S.  GAAP. The  amendment  is 
effective  retrospectively  for  fiscal  years  beginning  on  or  after 
January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The Company 
is evaluating the impact, these amendments will have on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2009, the IASB issued the chapter of IFRS 9 “Financial 
Instruments relating to the classification and measurement of 
financial  assets”. The  new  standard  represents  the  first  phase 
of a three-phase project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition  and  Measurement (IAS  39)  with  IFRS  9  Financial 
Instruments (IFRS 9). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine 
whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair 
value, replacing the many different rules in IAS 39. The approach 
in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial assets 
(its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics 
of  the  financial  assets.  In  October  2010,  the  IASB  added  the 
requirement  relating  to  classification  and  measurement  of 
financial liabilities to IFRS 9. Under the amendment, an entity 
measuring  its  financial  liability  at  fair  value,  can  present  the 
amount of fair value change in the liability attributable to change 
in  the  liabilities  credit  risk  in  other  comprehensive  income. 
Further the IASB also decided to carry-forward unchanged from 
IAS 39 requirements relating to de-recognition of financial assets 
and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 is effective for fiscal years beginning 
on or after January 1, 2015. Earlier application is permitted. The 
Company is evaluating the impact, these amendments will have 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  May  2011,  the  IASB  issued  IFRS 10” Consolidated Financial 
Statements”.  The  new  standard  establishes  principles  for 
the  presentation  and  preparation  of  consolidated  financial 
statements  when  an  entity  controls  one  or  more  other 
entities.  IFRS  10  replaces  the  consolidation  requirements 
in  SIC-12 “Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities”  and  IAS  27 
“Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements”.  IFRS  10 
builds  on  existing  principles  by  identifying  the  concept  of 
control as the determining factor in whether an entity should 
be included within the consolidated financial statements of the 
parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to 
assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to 
assess. IFRS 10 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after 
January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The Company 
is evaluating the impact, these amendments will have on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”. 
The new standard defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a 
framework  for  measuring  fair  value  and  requires  disclosures 
about  fair  value  measurements.  IFRS  13  applies  when  other 
IFRSs  require  or  permit  fair  value  measurements.  It  does  not 
introduce any new requirements to measure an asset or a liability 
at fair value or change what is measured at fair value in IFRSs or 
address how to present changes in fair value. IFRS 13 is effective 
for  fiscal  years  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013.  Early 
application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact, 
these amendments will have on the Company’s consolidated 
financial statements.

In June 2011, the IASB issued Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of 
Financial Statements” that will improve and align the presentation 
of  items  of  other  comprehensive  income  (OCI)  in  financial 
statements prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The amendments require companies 
preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRSs to group 
together items within OCI that may be reclassified to the profit or 
loss section of the income statement. The amendments will also 
reaffirm existing requirements that items in OCI and profit or loss 
should be presented as either a single statement or two consecutive 
statements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning 
on or after July 1, 2012. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company 
is  evaluating  the  impact,  these  amendments  will  have  on  the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  June  2011,  the  IASB  issued  IAS  19  (Amended)  “Employee 
Benefits”. The new standard has eliminated an option to defer 
the recognition of gains and losses through re-measurements 
and requires such gain or loss to be recognized through other 
comprehensive  income  in  the  year  of  occurrence  to  reduce 
volatility. The amended standard requires immediate recognition 
of effects of any plan amendments. Further it also requires asset 
in profit or loss to be restricted to government bond yields or 
corporate  bond  yields,  considered  for  valuation  of  Projected 
Benefit Obligation, irrespective of actual portfolio allocations. 
The  actual  return  from  the  portfolio  in  excess  of  such  yields 
is  recognized  through  Other  Comprehensive  Income. The 
amendment is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning 
on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier adoption is permitted. The 
Company is evaluating the impact, these amendments will have 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  December,  2011,  the  IASB  issued  an  amendment  to  IAS 32 
“Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities”. The purpose 
of  the  amendment  is  to  clarify  some  of  the  requirements  for 
offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance 
sheet. This includes clarifying the meaning of “currently has a 
legally  enforceable  right  to  set-off”  and  also  the  application 
of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as 
central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement 
mechanisms  that  are  not  simultaneous. The  amendment  is 
effective  retrospectively  for  fiscal  years  beginning  on  or  after 
January 1, 2014. Earlier application is permitted. The Company 
is evaluating the impact these a mendments will have on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The  assessment  of  marketing-related  intangibles  (brands 
and  trade-marks)  that  have  an  indefinite  life  were  based  on 
a  number  of  factors,  including  the  competitive  environment,

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible were tested for impairment 
annually  in  accordance  with  the  Company’s  procedure  for 
determining the recoverable value of such assets. For the purpose 
of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a CGU representing 
the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored 
for internal management purposes, and which is not higher than 
the Group’s operating segment. The useful life of the trademark 
and brand in respect of the acquired Wipro Yardley FZE, Wipro 
Yardley Consumer Care Private Limited, Chandrika and Northwest 
has been determined to be indefinite life intangible assets. For 
the  purpose  of  impairment  testing,  indefinite  life  intangibles 
in Wipro Yardley FZE and Wipro Yardley Consumer Care Private 
Limited are allocated to the Yardley businesses and the indefinite 
life  intangibles  in  Chandrika  and  Northwest  are  allocated  to 
Consumer Care India businesses. The recoverable amount of the 
CGU is the higher of its FVLCTS and its VIU. The FVLCTS of the 
CGU is determined based on the market capitalization approach, 
using the turnover and earnings multiples derived from observed 
market data. The VIU is determined based on discounted cash 
flow projections. Key assumptions on which the Company has 
based its determination of VIUs include:

1.25 – 8.25 years 

8.125 years

a) 
Estimated  cash  flows  for  five  years  based  on  formal/
approved internal management budgets with extrapolation for 
the remaining period, wherever such budgets were shorter than 
5 years period.

b) 
Terminal  value  arrived  by  extrapolating  last  forecasted 
year  cash  flows  to  perpetuity  using  long-term  growth  rates. 
These long-term growth rates take into consideration external 
macroeconomic  sources  of  data.  Such  long-term  growth  rate 
considered does not exceed that of the relevant business and 
industry sector.

c) 
The  discount  rates  used  are  based  on  the  Company’s 
weighted  average  cost  of  capital  as  an  approximation  of  the 
weighted  average  cost  of  capital  of  a  comparable  market 
participant, which are adjusted for specific country risks.

d) 
Value-in-use is calculated using after tax assumptions. The 
use of after tax assumptions does not result in a value-in-use that 
is materially different from the value-in-use that would result if 
the calculation was performed using before tax assumptions. The 
before tax discount rate is determined based on the value-in-use 
derived from the use of after tax assumptions.

Based on the above, no impairment was identified as of March 31, 
2011 and 2012 as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the 
carrying value. Further, none of the CGU’s tested for impairment 
as of March 31, 2011 and 2012 were at risk of impairment. An 
analysis  of  the  calculation’s  sensitivity  to  a  change  in  the  key 
parameters (Revenue growth, operating margin, discount rate 
and  long-term  growth  rate)  based  on  reasonably  probable 
assumptions, did not identify any probable scenarios where the 
CGU’s recoverable amount would fall below its carrying amount.

6.  business combination

None of the goodwill, other than goodwill relating to business 
purchase in the U.S. (` 2,703), is expected to be deductible for 
income tax purposes.

The gross and fair value of trade receivables included in other 
assets above amounts to ` 1,170. None of the trade receivable 
has been impaired and it is expected that full contractual amount 
can be collected.

estimates that the annual consolidated revenue for the Company 
would have been ` 373,798 and the annual profit before taxes 
for the year for the Company would have been ` 69,935. The 
pro-forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results 
that would have occurred if the acquisitions had occurred on 
dates indicated or that may result in the future.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

The Company has entered into cross-currency interest rate swap 
(CCIRS) in connection with the unsecured external commercial 
borrowing and has designated a portion of these as hedge of 
net investment in foreign operation.

The  contract  governing  the  Company’s  unsecured  external 
commercial  borrowing  contain  certain  covenants  that  limit 
future  borrowings  and  payments  towards  acquisitions  in  a 
financial  year. The  terms  of  the  other  secured  and  unsecured 
loans and borrowings also contain certain restrictive covenants 
primarily requiring the Company to maintain certain financial 
ratios. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has met the covenants 
under these arrangements.

Fair Value

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, 
unbilled revenues, trade payables, current financial liabilities and 
borrowings approximate their carrying amount largely due to 
the short-term nature of these instruments. A substantial portion 
of the Company’s long-term debt has been contracted at floating 
rates of interest, which are reset at short intervals. Accordingly, 
the  carrying  value  of  such  long-term  debt  approximates 
fair  value.  Further,  finance  lease  receivables  are  periodically 
evaluated based on individual credit worthiness of customers. 
Based on this evaluation, the Company records allowance for 
expected losses on these receivables. As of March 31, 2011 and 
2012, the carrying value of such receivables, net of allowances 
approximates the fair value.

Investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds, which are 
classified as available-for-sale are measured using quoted market 
prices  at  the  reporting  date  multiplied  by  the  quantity  held.   
Fair value of investments in certificate of deposits, classified as 
available for sale is determined using observable market inputs.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined 
based on observable market inputs including currency spot and 
forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc.

Fair value hierarchy

Level  1  –  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for 
identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. 
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on 
observable market data (unobservable inputs)

Sale of financial assets

From  time  to  time,  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  the 
Company  transfers  accounts  receivables,  net  investment  in

finance lease receivables (financial assets) to banks. Under the 
terms of the arrangements, the Company surrenders control over 
the financial assets and transfer is without recourse. Accordingly, 
such transfers are recorded as sale of financial assets. Gains and 
losses on sale of financial assets without recourse are recorded 
at the time of sale based on the carrying value of the financial 
assets and fair value of servicing liability.

In certain cases, transfer of financial assets may be with recourse. 
Under arrangements with recourse, the Company is obligated 
to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, subject to limits 
specified in the agreement with the banks. The Company has 
transferred  trade  receivables  with  recourse  obligation  (credit 
risk) and accordingly, in such cases the amounts received are 
recorded as borrowings in the statement of financial position 
and cash flows from financing activities. As at March 31, 2011 and 
2012, the maximum amount of recourse obligation in respect 
of the transferred financial assets (recorded as borrowings) is ` 
1,085 and ` 1,163, respectively.

Financial risk management

General

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or 
to future cash flows that may result from a change in the price 
of  a  financial  instrument. The  value  of  a  financial  instrument 
may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign 
currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes 
that  affect  market  risk  sensitive  instruments.  Market  risk  is 
attributable  to  all  market  risk  sensitive  financial  instruments 
including investments, foreign currency receivables, payables 
and loans and borrowings.

The  Company’s  exposure  to  market  risk  is  a  function  of 
investment  and  borrowing  activities  and  revenue  generating 
activities  in  foreign  currency. The  objective  of  market  risk 
management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s 
earnings and equity to losses.

Risk Management Procedures 

The Company manages market risk through a corporate treasury 
department, which evaluates and exercises independent control 
over the entire process of market risk management. The corporate 
treasury department recommends risk management objectives 
and  policies,  which  are  approved  by  senior  management 
and  the  Audit  Committee. The  activities  of  this  department 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

include management of cash resources, implementing hedging 
strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, 
and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.

Foreign currency risk

The Company operates internationally and a major portion of 
the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently 
the  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  through 
its  sales  and  services  in  the  United  States  and  elsewhere, 
and  purchases  from  overseas  suppliers  in  various  foreign 
currencies. The exchange rate risk primarily arises from foreign 
exchange revenue, receivables, cash balances, forecasted cash 
flows, payables and foreign currency loans and borrowings. A 
significant portion of revenue is in U.S. dollars, euro and pound 
sterling, while a significant portion of costs are in Indian rupees. 
The exchange rate between the rupee and U.S. dollar, euro and 
pound sterling has fluctuated significantly in recent years and 
may continue to fluctuate in the future. Appreciation of the rupee 
against  these  currencies  can  adversely  affect  the  Company’s 
results of operations.

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from 
these transactions and enters into foreign currency derivative 
instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows 
established  risk  management  policies,  including  the  use  of 
derivatives like foreign exchange forward / option contracts to 
hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency.

The  Company  has  designated  certain  derivative  instruments 
as cash flow hedge to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure 
of  forecasted  highly  probable  cash  flows. The  Company  has 
also designated a combination of foreign currency borrowings 
and  related  cross-currency  swaps  and  other  foreign  currency 
derivative instruments as hedge of its net investment in foreign 
operations.

As at March 31, 2011 and 2012, Re. 1 increase / decrease in the 
exchange rate of Indian Rupee with U.S. dollar would result in 
approximately ` 810 and ` 1,629 decrease / increase in the fair 
value of the Company’s foreign currency dollar denominated 
derivative instruments, respectively.

As at March 31, 2011 and 2012, 1% change in the exchange rate 
between U.S. dollar and Yen would result in approximately ` 170 
and ` 194 increase/decrease in the fair value of cross-currency 
interest rate swaps, respectively.

customers, taking into account the financial condition, current 
economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of 
accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. No 
single customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts 
receivable  as  at  March  31,  2011  and  2012,  respectively  and 
revenues for the year ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, 
respectively. There is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired

Cash  and  cash  equivalents,  available-for-sale  financial  assets, 
investment  in  certificates  of  deposits  and  interest  bearing 
deposits  with  corporates  are  neither  past  due  nor  impaired. 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  with  banks  and  interest-bearing 
deposits  are  placed  with  corporate,  which  have  high  credit-
ratings  assigned  by  international  and  domestic  credit-rating 
agencies.  Available-for-sale  financial  assets  substantially 
include investment in liquid mutual fund units. Certificates of 
deposit represent funds deposited with banks or other financial 
institutions for a specified time period.

Financial assets that are past due but not impaired

There is no other class of financial assets that is past due but not 
impaired except for trade receivables of ` 2,594 and ` 2,748 as of 
March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Of the total receivables, ` 
41,146 and ` 58,982 as of March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, 
were neither past due nor impaired. The company’s credit period 
generally  ranges  from  45-60  days. The  aging  analysis  of  the 
receivables have been considered from the date of the invoice. 

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk primarily arises from floating rate borrowing, 
including  various  revolving  and  other  lines  of  credit. The 
Company’s investments are primarily in short-term investments, 
which  do  not  expose  it  to  significant  interest  rate  risk. The 
Company manages its net exposure to interest rate risk relating 
to  borrowings,  by  balancing  the  proportion  of  fixed  rate 
borrowing  and  floating  rate  borrowing  in  its  total  borrowing 
portfolio. To manage this portfolio mix, the Company may enter 
into interest rate swap agreements, which allows the Company 
to  exchange  periodic  payments  based  on  a  notional  amount 
and agreed upon fixed and floating interest rates. As of March 
31,  2012,  substantially  all  of  the  Company  borrowings  was 
subject to floating interest rates, which reset at short intervals. If 
interest rates were to increase by 100 bps from March 31, 2012, 
additional annual interest expense on the Company’s floating 
rate borrowing would amount to approximately ` 564.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not 
be  able  to  settle  their  obligations  as  agreed. To  manage  this, 
the  Company  periodically  assesses  the  financial  reliability  of

past due, is given below:

Counterparty  risk  encompasses  issuer  risk  on  marketable 
securities,  settlement  risk  on  derivative  and  money  market 
contracts and credit risk on demand and time deposits. Issuer 
risk  is  minimized  by  only  buying  securities  which  are  at  least 
AA rated. Settlement and credit risk is reduced by the policy of

entering into transactions with counterparties that are usually 
banks  or  financial  institutions  with  acceptable  credit  ratings. 
Exposure to these risks are closely monitored and maintained 
within  predetermined  parameters. There  are  limits  on  credit 
exposure  to  any  financial  institution. The  limits  are  regularly 
assessed and determined based upon credit analysis including 
financial  statements  and  capital  adequacy  ratio  reviews.  In 
addition,  net  settlement  agreements  are  contracted  with 
significant counterparties.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity  risk  is  defined  as  the  risk  that  the  Company  will 
not  be  able  to  settle  or  meet  its  obligations  on  time  or  at  a 
reasonable price. The Company’s corporate treasury department 
is  responsible  for  liquidity,  funding  as  well  as  settlement 
management.  In  addition,  processes  and  policies  related  to 
such risks are overseen by senior management. Management 
monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling 
forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. As of March 31, 
2011 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents are held with major 
banks and financial institutions.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

In April 2010, Wipro GE acquired medical equipment and related 
businesses  from  General  Electric  for  a  cash  consideration  of 
approximately ` 3,728.

Wipro  GE  had  received  tax  demands  aggregating  to  `  2,615 
(including  interest)  arising  primarily  on  account  of  transfer 
pricing adjustments, denial of export benefits and tax holiday 
benefits claimed by Wipro GE under the Income Tax Act, 1961 
(the “Act”) for the year ended March 31, 2001 to March 31, 2007. 
The appeals filed against the said demand before the Appellate 
authorities have been allowed in favor of the Company by first 
appellate authority for the years upto March 2004 and further 
appeals have been filed by the Income tax authorities before 
the  second  appellate  authority. The  first  appellate  authority 
has granted partial relief for the year ended March 31, 2005 and 
further appeal would be preferred by the Company before the 
second appellate authority.  The Company filed appeal before 
the second appellate authority for the year ended March 31, 2006 
after receiving the assessment orders following the directions 
of the Dispute Resolution Panel. The second appellate authority 
passed  an  order  directing  assessing  officer  (AO)  to  give  fair 
opportunity of hearing to the company, the case is pending with 
AO. For the year ended March 31, 2007, the appeal filed against 
the demand is pending before the first appellate authority. 

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order of 
the appellate authority upholding the claims of Wipro GE, Wipro 
GE believes that the final outcome of the disputes should be in 
favour of Wipro GE and will not have any material adverse effect 
on its financial position and results of operations.

Others

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company entered 
into an agreement to purchase 26% of the equity investments

method investment under IAS 28, “Investments in Associates”.

March 31, 2012 is 32.445% as compared to 33.218% for the year 
ended March 31, 2011. This change in tax rate is on account of 
reduction in surcharge from 7.5% for the year ended March 31, 
2011 to 5% for the year ended March 31, 2012, in the financial 
annual budget by the Indian Government.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

Deferred taxes on unrealized foreign exchange gain / loss relating 
to  cash  flow  hedges  is  recognized  in  other  comprehensive 
income and presented within equity in the cash flow hedging 
reserve. Deferred tax liability on the intangible assets identified 
and recorded separately at the time of an acquisition is recorded 
by an adjustment to goodwill. Other than these, the change in 
deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  is  primarily  recorded  in  the 
statement of income.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company 
considers the extent to which, it is probable that the deferred 
tax  asset  will  be  realized. The  ultimate  realization  of  deferred 
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable 
profits during the periods in which those temporary differences 
and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company 
considers  the  expected  reversal  of  deferred  tax  liabilities, 
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in 
making this assessment. Based on this, the Company believes 
that it is probable that the Company will realize the benefits of 
these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax 
asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the 
near term if the estimates of future taxable income during the 
carry-forward period are reduced. Deferred tax asset in respect 
of  unused  tax  losses  amounting  to  `  2,076  and  `  1,734  as  of 
March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively have not been recognized 
by the Company.

The Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ` 2,042 and ` 
2,330 in respect of carry forward losses of its various subsidiaries 
during the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2012. Management’s 
projections of future taxable income and tax planning strategies 
support the assumption that it is probable that sufficient taxable 
income will be available to utilize these deferred tax assets.

Pursuant to the changes in the Indian income tax laws, Minimum 
Alternate Tax (MAT) has been extended to income in respect of 
which deduction is claimed under section 10A, 10B and 10AA 
of  the  Act;  consequently,  the  Company  has  calculated  its  tax 
liability for current domestic taxes after considering MAT. The 
excess tax paid under MAT provisions over and above normal 
tax liability can be carried forward and set-off against future tax 
liabilities computed under normal tax provisions. The Company 
was required to pay MAT and accordingly, a deferred tax asset 
of ` 488 and ` 1,223 has been recognized in the statement of 
financial position as of March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, 
which can be carried forward for a period of ten years from the 
year of recognition.

A  substantial  portion  of  the  profits  of  the  Company’s  India 
operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits 
attributable to export operations and profits from undertakings 
situated  in  Software Technology,  Hardware Technology  Parks 
and Export Oriented units. Under the tax holiday, the taxpayer 
can utilize an exemption from income taxes for a period of any 
ten  consecutive  years. The  tax  holidays  on  all  facilities  under 
Software Technology, Hardware Technology Parks and Export 
Oriented  units  has  expired  on  March  31,  2011.  Additionally, 
under  the  Special  Economic  Zone  Act,  2005  scheme,  units  in

designated special economic zones providing service on or after 
April 1, 2005 will be eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of 
profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first 
five years from commencement of provision of services and 50 
percent of such profits and gains for a further five years. Certain 
tax benefits are also available for a further five years subject to 
the unit meeting defined conditions. Profits from certain other 
undertakings are also eligible for preferential tax treatment. In 
addition, dividend income from certain category of investments 
is exempt from tax. The difference between the reported income 
tax expense and income tax computed at statutory tax rate is 
primarily attributable to income exempt from tax.

Deferred  income  tax  liabilities  are  recognized  for  all  taxable 
temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary 
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries where 
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will 
not  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future.  Accordingly,  deferred 
income  tax  liabilities  on  cumulative  earnings  of  subsidiaries 
amounting to ` 12,969 and ` 15,722 as of March 31, 2011 and 
2012,  respectively  has  not  been  recognized.  Further,  it  is  not 
practicable to estimate the amount of the unrecognized deferred 
tax liabilities for these undistributed earnings.

The tax loss carry-forwards of ` 5,941 and ` 5,344 as of March 
31, 2011 and 2012, respectively relates to certain subsidiaries 
on  which  deferred  tax  asset  has  not  been  recognized  by  the 
Company. Approximately, ` 4,644 and ` 4,417 as of March 31, 
2011 and 2012 respectively, of these tax loss carry-forwards is 
not currently subject to expiration dates. The remaining tax loss 
carry forward of approximately ` 1,297 and ` 928 as of March 
31, 2011 and 2012 respectively, expires in various years through 
fiscal 2029.

We  are  subject  to  U.S.  tax  on  income  attributable  to  our 
permanent establishment in the United States due to operation 
of our U.S. branch. In addition, the Company is subject to a 15% 
branch profit tax in the United States on the “dividend equivalent 
amount” as that term is defined under U.S. tax law. The Company 
has not triggered the branch profit tax until year ended March 
31, 2012. The Company intends to maintain the current level of 
net assets in the United States commensurate with its operation 
and consistent with its business plan. The Company does not 
intend to repatriate out of the Unites States any portion of its 
current profits. Accordingly, the Company did not record current 
and deferred tax provision for branch profit tax.

19.  Dividends

The  Company  declares  and  pays  dividends  in  Indian  rupees. 
According to the Indian law any dividend should be declared out 
of accumulated distributable profits only after the transfer to a 
general reserve of a specified percentage of net profit computed 
in accordance with current regulations.

The  cash  dividends  paid  per  equity  share  were  `  4,  `  6  and 
`  4  during  the  years  ended  March  31,  2010,  2011  and  2012, 
respectively. The  Company  has  also  paid  an  interim  dividend 

of ` 2 per equity share during the year ended March 31, 2012.

During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company has also 
paid stock dividend, commonly known as bonus shares in India, 
comprised of two equity shares for every three equity shares 
outstanding on the record date and two ADSs for every three 
ADSs outstanding on the record date. The stock dividend did 
not affect the ratio of ADSs to equity shares, such that each ADS 
after the stock dividend continues to represent one equity share 
of par value of ` 2 per share.

The  Board  of  Directors  in  their  meeting  on  April  25,  2012 
proposed a final dividend of ` 4 (US$0.08) per equity share and 
ADR. The proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders at 
the Annual General Meeting to be held on July 23, 2012, and 
if  approved,  would  result  in  a  cash  outflow  of  approximately 
` 11,431, including corporate dividend tax thereon (` 1,595).

20.  Additional capital disclosures

The  key  objective  of  the  Company’s  capital  management  is 
to ensure that it maintains a stable capital structure with the 
focus on total equity to uphold investor, creditor and customer 
confidence and to ensure future development of its business. The 
Company focused on keeping strong total equity base to ensure 
independence, security, as well as a high financial flexibility for 
potential future borrowings, if required without impacting the 
risk profile of the Company.

The Company’s goal is to continue to be able to return excess 
liquidity  to  shareholders  by  continuing  distributing  annual 
dividends in future periods. During the year ended March 31, 
2011 and 2012, the Company distributed ` 6 and ` 4, respectively 
in dividend per equity share. The Company has also distributed 
an interim dividend of ` 2 per equity share during the year ended 
March 31, 2012. The amount of future dividends will be balanced 
with effort to continue to maintain an adequate liquidity status.

The  capital  structure  as  of  March  31,  2011  and  2012  was  as 
follows:

Total equity attributable to 
the equity shareholders of 
the Company
As percentage of total 
capital
Current loans and

25.  Earnings per equity share

A reconciliation of profit for the year and equity shares used in 
the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share 
is set out below:

Basic:  Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the 
profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the 
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during 
the period, excluding equity shares purchased by the Company 
and  held  as  treasury  shares.  Equity  shares  held  by  controlled 
Wipro Equity Reward Trust (‘WERT’) and Wipro Inc Benefit Trust 
(WIBT) have been reduced from the equity shares outstanding 
for computing basic and diluted earnings per share.

Diluted: Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during 
the period for assumed conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Employee share options are dilutive potential equity 
shares for the Company.

The calculation is performed in respect of share options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair 
value (determined as the average market price of the Company’s shares during the period). The number of shares calculated as 
above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

Employees covered under the stock option plans and restricted 
stock  unit  option  plans  (collectively “stock  option  plans”)  are 
granted an option to purchase shares of the Company at the 
respective  exercise  prices,  subject  to  requirement  of  vesting 

In 1984, the Company established a controlled trust called the 
Wipro Equity Reward Trust (“WERT”). The WERT purchases shares 
of the Company out of funds borrowed from the Company. The 
Company’s compensation committee recommends to the WERT 
certain officers and key employees, to whom the WERT grants 
shares from its holdings at nominal price. Such shares are then 
held by the employees subject to vesting conditions. The shares 
held by the WERT are reported as a reduction in stockholders’ 
equity

The movement in the shares held by the WERT is given below:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was ` 814, 
` 417.65 and ` 449.8 for each option, respectively. The weighted average share price of options exercised during the year ended 
March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was ` 557.52, ` 424.28 and ` 399.22 for each option, respectively.

The fair value of 30,000 options granted during the year ended 
March 31, 2012 (other than at nominal exercise price) has been 
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton 
option pricing model. The fair value of share options has been 
determined using the following assumptions:

In May 2010, the Government of India amended the Payment of 
Gratuity Act, 1972 to increase the limit of gratuity payment from 
` 0.35 to ` 1. Consequently, during the year ended March 31, 
2011, the Company has recognized ` 254 of vested past service 
cost in the statement of income.

The  principal  assumptions  used  for  the  purpose  of  actuarial

c) 

Provident Fund:

Upto year ended March 31, 2011, in the absence of guidance from the Actuarial Society of India, actuarial valuation could not have 
been applied to reliably measure the provident fund liabilities. During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Actuarial Society of 
India issued the guidance for measurement of provident fund liabilities. Accordingly, based on such actuarial valuation there is no 
shortfall in the fund as at March 31, 2012.

29.  Commitments and contingencies

Operating leases: The Company has taken office and residential 
facilities under cancelable and non-cancelable operating lease 
agreements that are renewable on a periodic basis at the option 
of both the lessor and the lessee. The operating lease agreements 
extend up to a maximum of fifteen years from their respective 
dates of inception and some of these lease agreements have 
price escalation clause. Rental payments under such leases were 
` 3,062, ` 3,230 and ` 3,734, for the year ended March 31, 2010, 
2011 and 2012, respectively.

Details  of  contractual  payments  under  non-cancelable  leases 
are given below:

As at March 31,

Not later than one year

five years

5,143

3,294

3,696
`   10,265 `  14,839

Capital  commitments:  As  at  March  31,  2011  and  2012,  the 
Company had committed to spend approximately ` 2,071 and 
` 1,673, respectively, under agreements to purchase property 
and equipment. These amounts are net of capital advances paid 
in respect of these purchases.

Guarantees:  As  at  March  31,  2011  and  2012,  performance 
and  financial  guarantees  provided  by  banks  on  behalf  of  the 
Company  to  the  Indian  Government,  customers  and  certain 
other agencies amount to approximately ` 19,841 and ` 23,240, 
respectively, as part of the bank line of credit.

Contingencies  and  lawsuits:  The  Company  had  received  tax 
demands aggregating to ` 40,040 (including interest of ` 10,616) 

Annual Report 2011-12

232

arising primarily on account of denial of deduction under section 
10A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of profit earned by 
the  Company’s  undertaking  in  Software Technology  Park  at 
Bangalore for the years ended March 31, 2001 to March 31, 2008. 
The appeals filed against the said demand before the Appellate 
authorities have been allowed in favor of the Company by the 
second appellate authority for the years up to March 31, 2004 
and further appeals have been filed by the Income tax authorities 
before the Honorable High Court. The first appellate authority 
has granted relief for the year ended March 31, 2005 and further 
appeal has been filed by the Income tax authorities before the 
Income-tax Appellate Tribunal.  The Company is in appeal before 
the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal for the years ended March 
31,  2006  and  March  31,  2007  after  receiving  the  assessment 
orders following the directions of the Dispute Resolution Panel. 
For the year ended March 31, 2008, the objections against the 
draft assessment order is pending before the Dispute Resolution 
Panel.

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order 
of the appellate authority upholding the claims of the Company 
for earlier years, the Company believes that the final outcome 
of the above disputes should be in favor of the Company and 
there should not be any material impact on the consolidated 
financial statements.

The  Contingent  liability  in  respect  of  disputed  demands  for 
excise duty, custom duty, income tax, sales tax and other matters 
amounts to ` 1,384, ` 1,472 and ` 2,374 as of March 31, 2010, 
2011 and 2012, respectively.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which 
have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The resolution 
of these legal proceedings is not likely to have a material and 
adverse  effect  on  the  results  of  operations  or  the  financial 
position of the Company.

05 US Gap IFRS_2012.indd   232

6/19/2012   7:50:58 PM

 
Other  commitments: The  Company’s  Indian  operations  have 
been  established  as  unit  in  Special  Economic  Zone  and 
Software Technology Park Unit under plans formulated by the 
Government  of  India.  As  per  the  plan,  the  Company’s  India 
operations  have  export  obligations  to  the  extent  of  foreign 
exchange  net  positive  (i.e.  foreign  exchange  inflow  –  foreign 
exchange outflow should be positive) over a five year period. 
The  consequence  of  not  meeting  this  commitment  in  the 
future would be a retroactive levy of import duties on certain 
hardware previously imported duty free. As of March 31, 2012, 
the Company has met all commitments required under the plan.

30.  Segment Information

The Company is currently organized by segments, which includes 
IT  Services  (comprising  of  IT  Services  and  BPO  Services),  IT 
Products, Consumer Care and Lighting and ‘Others’.

Information on reportable segments is as follows:

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

The  Chairman  of  the  Company  has  been  identified  as  the 
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by IFRS 8, 
Operating Segments. The Chairman of the Company evaluates 
the segments based on their revenue growth, operating income 
and  return  on  capital  employed. The  management  believes 
that return on capital employed is considered appropriate for 
evaluating the performance of its operating segments. Return on 
capital employed is calculated as operating income divided by 
the average of the capital employed at the beginning and at the 
end of the period. Capital employed includes total assets of the 
respective segments (except cash and cash equivalents, available 
for sale investments and inter-corporate deposits amounting to ` 
105,348, ` 114,663 and ` 128,037 as of March 31, 2010, 2011 and 
2012, respectively, which is included under Reconciling items)

IT  Products: The  IT  Products  segment  sells  a  range  of 
Wipro  personal  desktop  computers, Wipro  servers  and Wipro 
notebooks. The  Company  is  also  a  value  added  reseller  of 
desktops,  servers,  notebooks,  storage  products,  networking 
solutions  and  packaged  software  for  leading  international 
brands. In certain total outsourcing contracts of the IT Services 
segment,  the  Company  delivers  hardware,  software  products 
and other related deliverables. Revenue relating to these items 
is reported as revenue from the sale of IT Products.

iii)  Consumer  care  and  lighting:  The  Consumer  Care  and 
Lighting segment manufactures, distributes and sells personal 
care  products,  baby  care  products,  lighting  products  and 
hydrogenated cooking oils in the Indian and Asian markets.

iv) 
The Others’ segment consists of business segments that do 
not meet the requirements individually for a reportable segment 
as defined in IFRS 8.

Corporate activities such as treasury, legal and accounting, 
v) 
which do not qualify as operating segments under IFRS 8, and 
elimination of inter-segment transactions have been considered 
within ‘reconciling items’.

Revenues include excise duty of ` 842, ` 1,007 and ` 1,205 
b) 
for the year ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. 
For the purpose of segment reporting, the segment revenues are 
net of excise duty. Excise duty is reported in reconciling items.

d) 
For  evaluating  performance  of  the  individual  business 
segments,  stock  compensation  expense  is  allocated  on  the 
basis of straight line amortization. The incremental impact of 
accelerated amortization of stock compensation expense over 
stock compensation expense allocated to the individual business 
segments is reported in reconciling items.

e) 
For evaluating the performance of the individual business 
segments,  amortization  of  intangibles  acquired  through 
business combinations are reported in reconciling items.

f ) 
For evaluating the performance of the individual business 
segments,  loss  on  disposal  of  subsidiaries  are  reported  in 
reconciling items.

g) 
The  Company  generally  offers  multi-year  payment 
terms  in  certain  total  outsourcing  contracts. These  payment 
terms  primarily  relate  to  IT  hardware,  software  and  certain 
transformation  services  in  outsourcing  contracts.  Corporate 
treasury provides internal financing to the business units offering 
multi-year  payment  terms.  Accordingly,  such  receivables  are 
reflected in capital employed in reconciling items. As of March 
31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, capital employed in reconciling items 
includes  `  8,516,  `  12,255  and  `  13,562,  respectively,  of  such 
receivables on extended collection terms. The finance income on 
deferred consideration earned under these contracts is included 
in the revenue of the respective segment and is eliminated under 
reconciling items.

h)  Operating income of segments is after recognition of stock 
compensation expense arising from the grant of options:

provide disclosure of geographical location wise assets, since the 
meaningful segregation of the available information is onerous.
