turnkey contracts, the Company bears the risk of cost and
time overruns, including delays caused by factors beyond
its control.
•
economic conditions in respective geographies
•
the financial position of the industries serviced by the
Company
•
pace of technological changes
•
information technology spending of the clients and
•
cross currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Total
Employee costs in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 11.76% in fiscal 2010 to
11.36% in fiscal 2011. The decrease is attributable to cost of salaries, 0.63% (8.36% in fiscal 2011; 8.99% in fiscal 2010)
partly offset by higher foreign allowances 0.23% (1.70% in fiscal 2011; 1.47% in fiscal 2010).
SG&A expenses other than employee costs decreased significantly by 2.13%, from 7.60% of revenues in fiscal
2010 to 5.47% in fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to successful continuing cost management
initiatives undertaken across the Company. Significant decreases in terms of revenues were recorded in rent and
electricity (1.10% in fiscal 2011; 1.53% in fiscal 2010), depreciation and amortization (0.63% in fiscal 2011; 0.91% in

fiscal 2010), communication expenses (0.38% in fiscal 2011; 0.44% in fiscal 2010), provision for doubtful debts (reversal of
0.28% in fiscal 2011; provision of 0.57% in fiscal 2010) and other expenses (2.07% in fiscal 2011; 2.58% in fiscal 2010).
Other expenses were lower in fiscal 2011 as a percentage of revenues primarily as a result of:
•
cost of repairs (0.25% in fiscal 2011, 0.66% in fiscal 2010)
•
consumables (0.12% in fiscal 2011, 0.20% in fiscal 2010)
•
other miscellaneous items of expenses (0.69% in fiscal 2011, 0.93% in fiscal 2010)
•
offset by higher education, recruitment and training costs (0.58% in fiscal 2011, 0.33% in fiscal 2010) and higher
advertisement costs (0.16% in fiscal 2011, 0.11% in fiscal 2010).
Increased business activity necessitated higher levels of travel and consequently the expenditure on account of travel
and conveyance was higher (0.74% in fiscal 2011, 0.68% in fiscal 2010).
Research and development (R&D) expenses
The Company’s R&D expenses include all expenditure incurred in various research and development centers in India,

The increase in interest income in fiscal 2011 was a result of continuous monitoring of the deployment of surplus cash
in order to maximize yield.
The decrease in the foreign exchange loss (net) in fiscal 2011 is primarily attributable to lower losses incurred on the
forward and option hedging contracts.
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and net changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company benefited from certain tax incentives under the Indian Income Tax Act 1961, for export of IT services
that it provided from specially designated Software Technology Parks in India (STPs). The benefits applicable to STPs
expired on March 31, 2011.
The Company also avails tax incentives applicable to Special Economic Zones (SEZ) under the IT Act.
Till March 31, 2011, ‘Minimum Alternative Tax’ (MAT) was applicable to the Company excluding its income from SEZ.
With effect from April 1, 2011, MAT would be applicable to income from SEZ also. MAT paid results in tax credit which
according to the IT Act can be carried forward for subsequent ten years and adjusted against future tax liabilities. In
the view of the Company, it would have sufficient tax liabilities to offset the MAT credits during the prescribed carry
forward period. Accordingly, MAT has been recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet.

Annual Report 2010-11
The increase in effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to:
•
increase in tax provision for Tata Consultancy Services Limited primarily as a result of expiry of tax holiday for
certain STP units
•
provision for taxes on increased interest income
•
increase in the taxable profit of some of the overseas subsidiaries
•
increase in tax provision of one of the Company’s subsidiaries in India as a result of expiry of tax holiday of its STP
Units with effect from April 1, 2010
The effective tax rate was lower than the current corporate tax rate in India for fiscal 2011 (33.22%), primarily due to
the tax benefits applicable to the STPs and SEZs that the Company operated from during fiscal 2011.
Net income
Net income of the Company for fiscal 2011 was $1,929.4 million ($1,469.1 million in fiscal 2010).

As part of the shareholders’ agreement with
Phoenix Group Services Ltd or Phoenix (formerly known
as Pearl Group Services Limited), Tata Consultancy
Services Limited had a call option to buy the minority
interest of 24% in Diligenta Limited (a subsidiary of the
Company), at a fixed price between March 24, 2010 and
March 23, 2011. TCS has a further call option to buy the
said minority interest from March 24, 2012 and beyond.
Phoenix has a put option to sell the said minority interest
of 24% to the Company at the same price between
March 24, 2011 and March 23, 2012. Since the put option
could mature in less than one year, the liability arising
out of the said option has been recognized as short term
liability as on March 31, 2011. As at March 31, 2011, neither
TCS Limited nor Phoenix exercised their respective options.

be repayable at any time after three years from the date
of allotment at the option of the debt holder. This debt
carries a fixed and variable cumulative dividend liability as
disclosed in note 16 of the notes to consolidated financial
statements.
The debt $ 22.4 million as at March 31, 2011 ($ 22.3 million
as at March 31, 2010) has been considered as a current
liability.
Long-term debt
The Company’s long-term debt as at March 31, 2011 was
$ 0.9 million ($2.4 million as at March 31, 2010).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Tata Consultancy Services Limited
Mumbai, India
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TCS Limited” or the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2011, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2011, all expressed in US dollars. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. 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 consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of TCS Limited as of March 31, 2010 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Background and Operations
Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TCS Limited” or
the “Company”) provide a wide range of information technology and consultancy services including systems
hardware and software, communications and networking, hardware sizing and capacity planning, software
project management solutions, technology education services and business process outsourcing.
As of March 31, 2011, Tata Sons Limited owned 73.75 % of Tata Consultancy Services Limited’s equity share
capital and has the ability to control its operating and financial policies.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain amounts reported in previous years have
been reclassified to conform to the presentation in fiscal 2011.
b.
Basis of consolidation
TCS Limited consolidates all wholly-owned and majority owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries
where the Company’s ownership is more than 50 percent. TCS Limited did not have variable interests in
any variable interest entities during the periods presented.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized profits and losses on such transactions are
eliminated on consolidation.
The results of entities with controlling interests acquired have been consolidated from the date
of acquisition, except for those entities that have been accounted for as business combinations under
common control. Purchase consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired has been
recognized as goodwill. The excess of fair value of the net assets acquired over the sum of (1) the fair value
of the consideration transferred, (2) the fair value of any previously held equity interest, and (3) the fair
value of any non-controlling interests is recognized as a gain in the income statement in the period in
which the business combination occurs.
Where the Company’s ownership interest is less than 100 percent, the non-controlling ownership
interests are reported in the consolidated balance sheets within equity as a separate component. The
non-controlling ownership interest in income, net of tax, is classified as ‘‘net income attributable to
non-controlling interests’’ in the consolidated statement of income.
c.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for
the years presented. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements that are susceptible
to change as more information becomes available include costs to complete for fixed price contracts,
allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable, useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived
assets, asset impairment test, determination of discount and other rate assumptions for retirement and
other postretirement benefit expenses and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods are affected.
d.
Revenue recognition
TCS Limited earns revenues primarily from providing information technology and consultancy
services, including services under contracts for software development, implementation and other related
services, re-licensing of third party software products and sales, licensing and sale of its own software,
business process outsourcing and maintenance of equipment.
30
TCS Limited recognizes revenue as follows:
Revenues from bundled contracts that involve supplying computer equipment, licensing software and
providing services are recognized separately for each separate accounting unit. The contract consideration
is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values. The fair value of
each separate accounting unit is determined by reference to the price charged when the same separate
accounting unit is sold separately.
Revenues from contracts priced on a time and material basis are recognized as services are rendered
and as related costs are incurred.
Revenues from software development contracts, which are generally time bound fixed price contracts,
are recognized over the life of the contract using the percentage-of-completion method, with contract
costs determining the degree of completion. Revenue recognition using the percentage-of-completion
method in conformity with ASC 605-35-05-01, is based on the guidance in ASC 985-605-05, Software
Revenue Recognition to account for revenues under fixed price arrangements for software development
and related services. Losses on such contracts are recognized when probable. Revenues in excess of billings
are recognized as unbilled revenues in the consolidated balance sheet; to the extent billings are in excess
of revenues recognized, the excess is reported as unearned and deferred revenue in the consolidated
balance sheet.
Revenues from business process outsourcing contracts priced on the basis of time and material or
unit of delivery are recognized as services are rendered or the related obligation is performed.
Revenues from the sale of computer equipment are recognized upon delivery, which is when title
passes to the customer. TCS Limited acts as a reseller of third party computer equipment products; such
revenues are reported gross as TCS Limited acts as a principal, has pricing authority and bears inventory
and credit risk.
Revenues from the sale of internally developed and manufactured systems and third party software
products which do not require significant modification are recognized upon delivery of a license, which
is when the absolute right to use passes to the customer and TCS Limited does not have any material
remaining service obligations.
Revenues from maintenance contracts and from finite period software licenses granted are
recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the contract.
TCS Limited recognizes volume discount obligations as a reduction of revenue in proportion to the
revenue recognised from the customer to the total expected revenue.
TCS Limited reports billed out-of-pocket expenses as revenue.
All revenues are recognized only when evidence of an arrangement is obtained and the other criteria
to support revenue recognition are met, including the price is fixed or determinable, services have been
rendered and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Revenues are reported net of discounts, indirect and service taxes.
e.
Cost recognition
Costs and expenses are recognized when incurred and have been classified according to their primary
functions in the following categories:
Cost of information technology and consultancy services
These costs primarily include employee compensation of personnel engaged in providing services,
travel expenses, employee allowances, payroll related taxes, fees to external consultants engaged in
providing services, depreciation and amortization of production related equipment and software, facility
expenses, communication costs, losses incurred on fixed price contracts and other project related expenses.
Cost of equipment and software licenses
These costs consist of the cost of resold computer equipment and re-licensed software, include
inward shipping and insurance costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling costs primarily include employee compensation for sales and marketing personnel, travel
costs, advertising, business promotion expenses, allowances for delinquent receivables, facility expenses
for sales and marketing offices and market research costs.
31
Annual Report 2010-11
General and administrative costs primarily include employee compensation for administrative,
supervisory, managerial and practice management personnel, depreciation and amortization of
non-production equipment and software, facility expenses for administrative offices, communication
costs, fees to external consultants and other general expenses.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses include all costs relating to TCS Limited’s research and
development center and costs incurred for the development of software to be sold.
The R&D center’s expenses primarily consist of employee compensation for research personnel,
facilities expenses for the R&D center and the cost of software and equipment for which there is no future
use within the enterprise. Property, plant and equipment that have an alternative future use within the
enterprise are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
f.
Foreign currency
The functional currency of Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its Indian subsidiaries is the
Indian Rupee, whereas the functional currency of foreign subsidiaries is the currency in their countries of
incorporation.
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the original rates of exchange prevailing at the
time of the transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are restated using
exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains and losses arising on settlement and
restatement of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in net income.
The reporting currency of the Company is US Dollars.
Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currency other than reporting currency have been
translated to the reporting currency using exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income
statement items have been translated using the quarterly weighted average exchange rates. Translation
adjustments have been reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the statement of
changes in shareholders’ equity.
g.
Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or
liability during the year.
Current income taxes
The
current
income
tax
expense
includes
Indian
income
taxes
payable
for
Tata Consultancy Services Limited’s worldwide operations after taking credit for benefits available for
operations in Software Technology Parks (or STPs) and Special Economic Zones (or SEZs) and export
earnings, and after offsetting benefits under double tax avoidance treaties for foreign taxes payable in
overseas jurisdictions.
Current income tax is payable in each of Tata Consultancy Services Limited’s overseas branches and
is computed in accordance with the tax laws applicable in the jurisdiction in which each of the branches
operate. The amounts paid are generally available for offset as tax credits in India towards the income tax
liability computed on Tata Consultancy Services Limited’s worldwide income.
The current income tax expense for overseas subsidiaries has been computed based on the laws
applicable to each entity in the jurisdiction in which that entity operates.
Payments of advance taxes and income taxes payable in the same tax jurisdictions are offset.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, minimum
alternative and other tax credits and unutilized business loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are computed separately for each taxable entity in the consolidated enterprise and for each
taxable jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely
than not that a tax benefit will not be realized and are separately estimated at each such entity without
offsetting. In assessing the realisability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not, that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
32
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which the temporary differences and loss carry forwards are deductible. Management considers
the reversal of taxable temporary differences, the projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies
and impact of tax exemptions currently available to the Company, in making this assessment.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled. The effect
of change in tax rates on deferred tax is recognized in the income statement in the period that the change
was enacted.
For domestic operations carried out in STPs and SEZs, deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, have
been established for the tax consequences of those temporary differences between the carrying values of
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases that reverse after the tax holiday ends. No deferred tax
asset has been recognized for the reduction in taxes attributable to such tax holidays.
For taxable entities and undertakings that are not entitled to tax holidays, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss carry forwards. Valuation
allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will
not be realized.
Uncertain tax position are recognized using the more likely than not threshold determined solely
based on technical merits that the tax positions will sustain upon examination. Tax positions that meet
the recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent
likely of being realized upon settlement with relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all
relevant information.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax assessments in income tax
expenses.
h.
Cash and cash equivalents
TCS Limited considers all highly liquid financial instruments including bank deposits, which are readily
convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be
cash equivalents.
i.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject TCS Limited to concentrations of credit risk principally
consist of cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits, accounts receivable, unbilled revenues and
investment in debentures issued by Tata Sons Limited and its subsidiary.
j.
Business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets
Purchased intangible assets, other than goodwill, consist of amounts allocated to customer
relationships on acquisition of a business, acquisition of intellectual property rights and acquired contract
rights. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes the
nature of intangibles and the estimated useful lives.
Nature of intangibles
Useful lives
Customer-related intangibles
2-10 years
Technology-related intangibles
3-10 years
Software licenses
Acquired contract rights
License period
5-12 years
The Company accounts for its business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized and reported separately from goodwill.
All assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including goodwill, are assigned to reporting units.
Goodwill represents the cost of the acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable
tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually
on March 31 or when events or circumstances indicate that the implied fair value of goodwill is less than
its carrying amount. Goodwill impairment assessment is a two-step test. The first step compares the fair
33
Annual Report 2010-11
value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting
unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however if the
carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment
test is performed to measure the impairment loss, if any. TCS Limited uses an income-based approach to
determine the fair value of the reporting unit by estimating the present value of the future cash flows
after considering current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results and growth
rates, and anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions. When required to perform the second
step, TCS Limited compares the implied fair value of goodwill of reporting units with the carrying amount
of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss
equal to that excess amount is recognized, not to exceed the goodwill carrying amount. TCS Limited
determines the implied fair value of goodwill for a reporting unit by assigning the fair value of the
reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets)
as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of the
reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill.
This assignment process is only for the purpose of testing goodwill impairment and TCS Limited does not
adjust the carrying amount of the recognized assets and liabilities (other than goodwill, if appropriate) or
recognise previously unrecognized intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet as a result of this
assignment process.
k.
Investments
Equity securities and investments in mutual funds with readily determinable fair market values
are classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
such securities, net of applicable taxes, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a
separate component of shareholders’ equity. Unrealized losses considered to be other-than-temporary are
recognized in net income. Realized gains and losses on sale of securities are recorded on the trade date
and the costs of investments sold are determined using the weighted average method.
Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair market values are recorded at original
cost subject to an impairment charge for any other than temporary decline in value. The fair values of
these securities are not estimated if there are no events or changes in circumstances that may have a
significant effect on the fair value.
Debt securities for which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity securities and are reported at amortized cost.
TCS Limited does not have any securities classified as trading.
l.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
provided for property, plant and equipment so as to expense the cost over their estimated useful lives at
the following basis and rates:

Depreciation is not recorded on capital work in progress until construction and installation are
complete and the asset is ready for its intended use.
34
m.
Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill)
Whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not
be recoverable, TCS Limited subjects such assets to a test of recoverability based on the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these cash flows are less than the carrying
value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the
estimated fair value and carrying value of the asset or asset group. Assumptions and estimates used to
estimate cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine the impairment
are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. As of March 31, 2010 and 2011, none of TCS Limited’s
long-lived assets was considered impaired.
n.
Compensated absences
TCS Limited provides for the cost of vacation earned but not taken, based on the number of days of
carry forward entitlement at each balance sheet date.
o.
Long-term debt
TCS Limited reports long-term debt at the outstanding principal balance. Interest costs are accounted
for on accruals basis and charged to the statement of income using the effective interest method.
p.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of
Tata Consultancy Services Limited by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the period. Tata Consultancy Services Limited did not have any potentially dilutive securities in any of the
periods presented.
q.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-shareholder sources. Comprehensive income comprises unrealized gains / (losses)
on available-for-sale securities, translation adjustments arising on the translation of financial statements
from functional currency to reporting currency, effective portion of gains / (losses) on derivative instruments
designated as cash flow hedges, unrealized actuarial gains / (losses) and net income.
r.
Derivative financial instruments
TCS Limited uses foreign currency option and forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign
exchange. TCS Limited recognizes the outstanding contracts at fair value. The option and forward contracts
are designated and documented as hedges at the inception of the contract. The effectiveness of option and
forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured
at inception and on an ongoing basis. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness,
as well as the ineffective portion of designated hedges are reported in earnings immediately.
Changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated and qualifying as hedges are recognized as
a component of the accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in shareholders’
equity and is reclassified into earnings when the related hedge items affect earnings. Changes in fair
value of derivative financial instruments that are not designated as a hedge are recorded immediately in
earnings.
When the financial instrument is terminated or settled prior to the expected maturity or realization
of the underlying item, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. Gains or losses from changes in
fair value of discontinued derivative instruments are recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction
occurs. Transactions that are no longer probable, recognized fair value adjustments within accumulated
other comprehensive income are reported immediately in current earnings.

Newly issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 on Multiple-deliverable Revenue Arrangements. The
ASU amends the guidance in ASC 605-25 on multiple-element revenue arrangements. The ASU requires an
entity to allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their
relative selling prices. The criteria for when delivered items in a multiple-deliverable arrangement should
be considered separate units of accounting has been retained, however the ASU removes the previous
separation criterion that objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of any undelivered items must
exist for the delivered items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting.
The ASU requires that in the absence of the vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence
of the selling prices, consideration must be allocated to the deliverables based on management’s best
estimate of the selling prices. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement
fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted. The ASU is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The effect on adoption of ASC 605-25 on TCS Limited’s
consolidated financial statements is being evaluated.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 on Software Revenue Recognition. It amends
ASC 985-605 and ASC 985-605-15-3 (Issue 03-5) to exclude from their scope all tangible products containing
both software and non software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential
functionality. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The requirements of
this ASU and its impact on TCS Limited’s financial statements are being evaluated.
In April 2010, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on milestone method
of revenue recognition and published ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method amends the
guidance in ASC 605-28. The scope of this ASU is limited to arrangements that include milestones relating
to research or development deliverables. The consensus specifies guidance that must be met for a vendor
to recognise consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety
in the period in which the milestone is achieved. The guidance applies to milestones in arrangements
within the scope of this consensus regardless of whether the arrangement is determined to have single
or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The final consensus will be effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The effect on adoption of
ASC 605-25 on TCS Limited’s consolidated financial statements is being evaluated.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, on ‘When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill
Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts’. This ASU does not prescribe
a specific method of calculating the carrying value of a reporting unit in the performance of step 1 of the
goodwill impairment test, but requires entities with a zero or negative carrying value to assess, considering
qualitative factors listed in ASC 350-20-35-30, whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment
exists. If an entity concludes that goodwill impairment exists, the entity must perform step 2 of the goodwill
impairment test. This ASU is effective for impairment tests performed during the fiscal years (and interim
periods within those years) that begin after December 15, 2010. Early application is not permitted. The
Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-28 to have a material impact on its consolidated
results of operation and financial condition.
In December 2010, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Disclosure of
Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations and published ASU 2010-29. The ASU
amends the disclosure requirements in ASC 805. The amendments in this Update specify that if a public
entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the
combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred
as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this
Update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the
nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business
combination included in the reported proforma revenue and earnings. The ASU is effective prospectively
36
for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. TCS Limited will adopt the revised guidance
effective April 1, 2011.

Acquisitions
On August 31, 2010, Diligenta Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Consultancy Services Limited,
acquired 100 percent equity interest in Diligenta 2 Limited (formerly known as Unisys Insurance Services
Limited), a business process outsourcing (referred to as “BPO”) provider within the life and pension services from
Unisys Limited for a consideration of $1.5 (£1). This acquisition will expand the Company’s existing presence in
the United Kingdom market and strengthen the business capabilities.
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities include an intangible asset relating to customer relationships of
$4.3 million. Excess of fair value of net assets over purchase consideration of $7.3 million has been recognized in
earnings as bargain purchase discount on acquisition.
Proforma information has not been included, as the effect of the acquisition on TCS Limited’s consolidated
results of operations is not material.

Depreciation expense was $106.2 million, $126.0 million and $149.9 million in fiscals 2009, 2010 and 2011,
respectively.
In fiscal 2009, the useful life of computer equipment of Tata Consultancy Services Limited had been
reviewed by the management and the original estimate of the useful life of these assets has been increased
from two to four years. The remaining depreciable amount is charged over the revised remaining useful life of
these assets. Consequently, depreciation for fiscal 2009 is lower and the profit for fiscal 2009 is higher by $39.3
million, and the earnings per share is higher by $0.02.
During the fiscal 2009, Tata America International Corporation (“TAIC”), a wholly owned subsidiary,
received $2.5 million consequent to a grant agreement entered with a State Development Department, USA
in respect of TAIC’s new office established in the State of Ohio, with an obligation to create new employment
positions during the term of the agreement. The carrying amount of the related property, plant and equipment
has been reduced by $2.5 million. The grant is recognized as income over the life of the property, plant and
equipment by way of reduced depreciation charge.

Under Section 10A of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its subsidiaries
in India are entitled to tax holidays for its various Software Technology Park (STP) units located across India.
These tax holidays are available for a period of ten fiscal years from the date of commencement of operations.
However, the tax holiday is not available effective from April 1, 2011.
In addition, Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its subsidiaries in India benefit from the tax exemption
available for units set up under the Special Economic Zone Act, 2005 (SEZ). These tax holidays are available for
a period of fifteen fiscal years from the date of commencement of operations. Under the SEZ scheme, the unit
which begins providing services on or after April 1, 2005 will be eligible for deductions of 100% of profits or
gains derived from export of services for the first five years, 50% of such profit or gains for a further period of
five years and 50% of such profit or gains for the balance period of five years subject to fulfillment of certain
conditions.

The per share (basic) effect of the tax holiday was $0.18, $0.21 and $0.25 for fiscals 2009, 2010

Valuation allowance has been recognized on deferred tax assets relating to impairment of certain securities
carried at cost and uncollected export receivables anticipated to be non-recoverable.
Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, unabsorbed business losses expire 8 years after the year in which
they originate. In respect of certain foreign subsidiaries, business losses can be carried forward indefinitely
unless there is a substantial change in the ownership.
Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its subsidiaries in India are
liable to pay Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) in the tax holiday period. MAT paid can be carried forward for a
period of 10 years and can be set off against the future tax liabilities. Consequently, TCS Limited has recognized
a deferred tax asset of $230.6 million as of March 31, 2011.

TCS Limited classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income
tax expense. TCS Limited has accrued for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of
$4.0 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 respectively.
As of March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, TCS Limited has unrecognized tax benefits of $38.1 million and
$133.5 million respectively, which if ultimately recognized, will reduce the TCS Limited’s annual effective tax
rate. Quantification of amounts of uncertain tax position as disclosed above that may change within twelve
months of the reporting date is not practicable.
TCS Limited files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in India, United States federal and
state jurisdictions, United Kingdom and in several other foreign jurisdictions. On an ongoing basis TCS Limited
is routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome
or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, TCS Limited believes that its unrecognized
tax benefits reflect the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. TCS Limited adjusts these unrecognized
tax benefits, as well as the related interest and penalties, in light of changing facts and circumstances. The
resolution of a matter could be recognized as an adjustment to provision for income taxes and may also require
the outflow of cash.
TCS Limited has ongoing disputes with Indian Income tax authorities relating to tax treatment of
certain items. These mainly include disallowed expenses, tax treatment of certain expenses claimed by
TCS Limited as deductions, and computation of, or eligibility of, certain tax incentives or allowances. As of
March 31, 2011, TCS Limited has demands from direct tax authorities in India, which are being contested
by TCS Limited on appeal amounting to $188.8 million. Demands from direct tax authorities include
46
$53.0 million in respect of TCS e-Serve Limited. TCS e-Serve Limited has also paid advance taxes aggregating
$41.5 million against the disputed amounts for the relevant assessment years. Tata Consultancy Services Limited
is indemnified by Citigroup Inc. against TCS e-Serve Limited’s tax claim and would be required to refund
Citigroup Inc. payments previously made against such claims if TCS e-Serve’s claim is sustained on examination.
TCS Limited believes that its position on these claims made by tax authorities will more likely than not
sustain upon examination by the relevant authorities.
The number of years that are subject to tax assessments varies depending on tax jurisdiction. The major
tax jurisdictions of TCS Limited include India, United States of America and United Kingdom. In India, tax filings
from fiscal 2007 are subject to examination by the taxing authorities. In United States of America, the federal
statute of limitation applies to fiscals 2007 and earlier and applicable state statutes of limitation vary by state.
In United Kingdom, the statute of limitation generally applies to fiscal 2009 and earlier.

The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure TCS Limited’s gratuity
obligations as of March 31, 2011. TCS Limited is expected to contribute $18.3 million to gratuity funds in
fiscal 2012 comprising domestic component of $14.2 million and foreign component of $4.1 million.
The net actuarial gain recognized in other comprehensive income for the period is $3.1 million.
An amount of $7.6 million, net of deferred tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income pertains to
actuarial losses that have not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost for fiscal 2011.
Defined benefit medical plan
The medical plan liability arises on the retirement and death of an employee. The aforesaid liability is
calculated on the basis of fixed annual amount per employee (based on the basic salary) for qualifying employees.
The most recent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined obligation were
carried out on March 31, 2011. The present values of the defined obligation and the related current service cost
and past service cost were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

Estimated fair value of financial instruments
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that
are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
•
Level 1— Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2— Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data.
•
Level 3— Inputs which are unobservable reflecting internal assumptions are used in pricing assets or
liabilities.
The following table summarizes financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis:

Derivative financial instruments
TCS Limited’s revenues are denominated in foreign currency predominantly US Dollar, Sterling Pound
and the Euro. In addition to these currencies, TCS Limited also does business in Australian Dollar, Canadian
Dollar, South African Rand and Swiss Franc. Given the nature of the business, a large portion of the costs are
denominated in Indian Rupee. This exposes TCS Limited to profit / loss on currency fluctuations.
TCS Limited monitors and manages the financial risks relating to its operations by analysing its foreign
exchange exposures by the level and extent of currency risks.
Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its subsidiaries use various derivative financial instruments governed
by policies approved by the board of directors such as foreign currency option contracts as well as forward
contracts to manage and mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange rates. The counter party is generally a bank.
These contracts are for a period between one day and eight years.
Tata Consultancy Services Limited and its subsidiaries report quarterly to its risk management board,
an independent body that monitors foreign exchange risks and policies implemented to manage its foreign
exchange exposures. TCS Limited has developed software platform to monitor, manage and report foreign
exchange exposures relating to hedging transactions on a periodic basis.

Segment information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources
and assessing performance. TCS Limited’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer and
Managing Director.
The Company has identified business segments (industry practice) as reportable segments. Business
segments are primarily financial services comprising banking, finance and insurance services, manufacturing
companies, companies in retail and consumer packaged goods industries, companies in telecommunication,
media and entertainment and others such as energy, resources and utilities, Hi-Tech industry practice, life science
and healthcare, s-Governance, travel, transportation and hospitality, products, etc.
Revenues and expenses directly attributable to segments are reported under each reportable segment.
Expenses which are not directly identifiable to each reporting segment have been allocated on the basis of
associated revenues of the segment and manpower efforts. All other expenses which are not attributable or
allocable to segments have been disclosed as unallocable expenses.
Assets directly attributable or allocable to segments are disclosed under each reportable segment. All
other assets are disclosed as unallocable. Property, plant and equipment that are used interchangeably among
segments are not allocated to reportable segments.
