Segment assets and liabilities
As certain assets and liabilities are deployed interchangeably across segments, it is not practically possible to allocate those assets and liabilities to each
segment. Hence, the details of assets and liabilities have not been disclosed in the above table .

1. The above financial results are prepared in accordance wilh Lhe lndi~n Accounting Standard prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and are
in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Lfsting Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015 (as amended).

2. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority ("NPPA") issued several demand notices on the Company- alleging overcharging regarding scheduled drugs
under the Drugs (Prices Control) Orders -1995 & 2013. The NPPA in its public disclosure has stated the total demand amount against the Company to be
"3,707 Crores.

The above includes demand notices raised by the NPPA under the matter filed by the Company challenging inclusion of its 4 bulk drugs viz. Salbutamol,
Theophylline, Ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin ("Subject Drugs") in the First Schedule of Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 1995 ("1995 DPCO"). During the years 1999
and 2000, the Company filed 3 writ petitions before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court ("Bombay HC") challenging inclusion of Subject Drugs in the First Schedule
of 1995 DPCO and also challenging the demand notices issued by NPPA demanding payment of purported overcharged amounts. It is the Company's case that
the Subject Drugs have been included in the First Schedule of the 1995 DPCO not in conformity with the criteria for inclusion stipulated in the 1994 Drug Policy.

On 31" August, 2001, by way of its common judgment, the Bombay HC decided the writ petitions in favor of the Company, thereby holding that the Subject
Drugs do not fall within the purview of DPCO 1995 and also quashed the demand notices raised by NPPA. The said order allowing the writ petitions, was
subsequently set aside by Hon'ble Supreme Court ("SC") on 1" August, 2003 and the writ petitions were restored for being considered afresh by the Bombay
HC. Pertinently, the SC, inter alia, imposed the burden on the Company to make out its challenge by furnishing all the relevant material within its reach and
knowledge. Further, the SC stayed recovery of SO% of the "overcharged" amounts subject to payment of the remaining SO% of the "overcharged" amounts
pending fresh determination by the Bombay HC.

Accordingly, in terms of SC's Judgment the Company paid to the NPPA an amount of" 175.08 Crores, representing 50% of the alleged overcharged amounts
in respect of the Subject Drugs against demand notices raised till 2003. Meanwhile, in compliance of directions of SC in the Judgment dated 1" August 2003,
the Company also attempted to gather and collect requisite data as directed and sought to place on record the facts and material in relation to such efforts
by amending the respective writ petitions through the amendment applications. The proposed amendments also sought to put on record before the Bombay
HC demand notices issued subsequent to the Judgment dated 1'1 August, 2003, and levied challenges on various grounds including inter alia the fact that the
quantum of the entire set of demand notices were erroneous, arbitrary and contrary to law.

Further, the Company has received certain communications, relating to few of these cases from the NPPA informing of true-up of alleged overcharge and
interest amounting to "371.21 Crores for the residual periods between the date of the earlier notices till date determined by the NPPA, not being later than
the commencement of the new DPCO, 2013. These matters are already sub-judice and subject to the stays issued by the Hon'ble Courts. In 2019, the Company
applied to the Bombay HC to amend its pleadings to include: (i) demand notices received by it, after deposit of" 175.08 Crores ("the Subsequent Demands")
(ii) deduction of trade margin of 16% from outstanding demands (as having not accrued to the Company, as manufacturer) basis the Allahabad He's TC
HPalthcare judgment (iii) to take on record the Government of India's RTI response on unavailability of any records pertinent to and what should have been
the basis for inclusion of the Four Drugs under DPCO, 1995 price control and (iv) re -calculation of interest from date of non-payment of demand as stated in
each demand.

The Bombay HC vide order dated 23'd February, 2024 directed that the Company may amend the pleadings as stated above, upon it depositing 50% of the
Subsequent Demands. The Company appealed the Bombay HC order in a special leave petition before the SC and on 19 th April, 2024 the SC was pleased to
issue notice in the said matter. The Company has been legally advised that it has a substantially strong case on the merits of the matter and therefore no
provision is considered necessary in respect of the demand notices received till date concerning the said matter.

1
Further, the Company carries provision of" 145.73 Crores as at 31' March, 2 l'lll~ lllEI'~ 9f the referenced writ proceedings.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its associates, in
accordance with the Code of Ethia; issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('the ICAI')
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial results under the
provisions of the Act, and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by
us together with the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in
paragraph 12 of the other Matter section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

4. The Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company's management and has been approved
by the Holding Company's Board of Directors, has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual
financial statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and
presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group including its associates in accordance
with the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with
Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is also responsible for
ensuring accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the
Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors of the companies
included in the Group and its associates, covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Group,
and its associates, and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application
of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively, for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of
preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

5. In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors / management of the companies included in
the Group and of its associates, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associates,

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

7. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act will always detect a
material misstatement, when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error, and are considered
material if, individually, or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.

8. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act,
we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

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

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;

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

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures,
and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation; and

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

that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

29 March 2019, issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations , to the
extent applicable.

Other Matters

12. We did not audit the annual financial statements/ financial information of 37 subsidiaries included in the
Statement, whose financial information (prior to consolidation adjustments) reflects total assets of
{ 11,403.28 crores as at 31 March 2024, total revenues of { 3,952.57 crores, total net loss after tax of
{ 79.93 crores , total comprehensive income of { 99.71 crores, and net cash outflows of { 177.98 crores for
the year ended on that date, as considered in the Statement. The Statement also includes the Group's share
of net loss (including other comprehensive income) of { (2.75) crores for the year ended 31 March 2024, in
respect of 2 associates, whose annual financial statements have not been audited by us. These annual
financial statements / financial information have been audited by other auditors whose audit reports have
been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and
disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and associates is based solely on the audit reports of
such other auditors, and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 8 above .

Further, of these subsidiaries and associates, 34 subsidiaries and an associate are located outside India,
whose annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in their respective countries, and which have been audited by other auditors under generally
accepted accounting principles applicable in their respective countries. The Holding Company's
management has converted the financial statement/ financial information of such subsidiaries and an
associate from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles
generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Holding
Company's management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in
respect of these subsidiaries and an associate, is based on the audit report of other auditors and the
conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and audited by us.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter with respect to our reliance on the work done by and the
reports of the other auditors.

1. The above financial results are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard prescribed under section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 and are in compliance with the presentation and disclosure requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended).

2. The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority ("NPPA") issued several demand notices on the Company - alleging overcharging
regarding scheduled drugs under the Drugs (Prices Control) Orders - 1995 & 2013. The NPPA in its public disclosure has stated the
total demand amount against the Company to be, 3,707 Crores.

The above includes demand notices raised by the NPPA under the matter filed by the Company challenging inclusion of its 4 bulk
drugs viz. Salbutamol, Theophylline, Ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin ("Subject Drugs") in the First Schedule of Drugs (Prices Control)
Order, 1995 ("1995 DPCO"). During the years 1999 and 2000, the Company filed 3 writ petitions before the Hon'ble Bombay High
Court ("Bombay HC") challenging inclusion of Subject Drugs in the First Schedule of 1995 DPCO and also challenging the demand
notices issued by NPPA demanding payment of purported overcharged amounts. It is the Company's case that the Subject Drugs
have been included in the First Schedule of the 1995 DPCO not in conformity with the criteria for inclusion stipulated in the 1994
Drug Policy.

On 31 st August, 2001, by way of its common judgment, the Bombay HC decided the writ petitions in favor of the Company, thereby
holding that the Subject Drugs do not fall within the purview of DPCO 1995 and also quashed the demand notices raised by NPPA.
The said order allowing the writ petitions, was subsequently set aside by Hon'ble Supreme Court ("SC") on 1st August, 2003 and the
writ petitions were restored for being considered afresh by the Bombay HC. Pertinently, the SC, inter alia, imposed the burden on the
Company to make out its challenge by furnishing all the relevant material within its reach and knowledge. Further, the SC stayed
recovery of 50% of the "overcharged" amounts subject to payment of the remaining 50% of the "overcharged" amounts pending
fresh determination by the Bombay HC.

Accordingly, in terms of SC's Judgment the Company paid to the NPPA an amount of , 175.08 Crores, representing 50% of the
alleged overcharged amounts in respect of the Subject Drugs against demand notices raised till 2003.

Meanwhile, in compliance of directions of SC in the Judgment dated ist August 2003, the Company also attempted to gather and
collect requisite data as directed and sought to place on record the facts and material in relation to such efforts by amending the
respective writ petitions through the amendment applications. The proposed amendments also sought to put on record before the
Bombay HC demand notices issued subsequent to the Judgment dated 1st August, 2003, and levied challenges on various grounds
including inter alia the fact that the quantum of the entire set of demand notices were erroneous, arbitrary and contrary to law.

Further, the Company has received certain communications, relating to few of these cases from the NPPA informing of true-up of
alleged overcharge and interest amounting to , 371.21 Crores for the residual periods between the date of the earlier notices till
date determined by the NPPA, not being later than the commencement of the new DPCO, 2013. These matters are already sub-
judice and subject to the stays issued by the Hon'ble Courts.

In 2019, the Company applied to the Bombay HC to amend its pleadings to include: (i) demand notices received by it, after deposit of
, 175.08 Crores ("the Subsequent Demands") (ii) deduction of trade margin of 16% from outstanding demands (as having not
accrued to the Company, as manufacturer) basis the Allahabad HC's TC Healthcare judgment (iii) to take on record the Government
of India's RTI response on unavailability of any records pertinent to and what should have been the basis for inclusion of the Four
Drugs under DPCO, 1995 price control and (iv) re-calculation of interest from date of non-payment of demand as stated in each
demand.

The Bombay HC vide order dated 23 rd February, 2024 directed that the Company may amend the pleadings as stated above, upon it
depositing 50% of the Subsequent Demands. The Company appealed the Bombay HC order in a special leave petition before the SC
and on 19th April, 2024 the SC was pleased to issue notice in the said matter.

The Company has been legally advised that it has a substantially strong case on the merits of the matter and therefore no provision is
considered necessary in respect of the demand notices received till date concerning the said matter.

Further, the Company carries provision of , 80.78 Crores as at 31 st March, 2024 for products not part of the referenced writ
proceedings.

3. The paid-up equity share capital stands increased to , 161.47 Crores (80,73,67,062 equity shares of face value , 2 each) upon
allotment of 9,910 equity shares and 6,754 equity shares of, 2 each pursuant to "ESOS 2013-A" and "Cipla ESAR Scheme 2021"
respectively during the quarter ended 31 st March, 2024.

4. The figures for the quarter ended 31'1 March, 2024 and 31 st March, 2023 are the balancing figures between the audited figures in
respect of the full financial year and the unaudited published · · onths of the relevant financial year.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

4. This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements and has been
approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profiUloss and other
comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS
specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 3::1 ot the
Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement
that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

5. In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

6. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

7. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.

8. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, specified under section 1-13(10) of the Act,
we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

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