-
The Indian Accounting Standard 116, “Leases”, notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 defines difference between amortizing rent recognized in books and actual cash rent paid
-

-
Exceptional items primarily include loss on account of impairment of intangible assets, inventory loss on account of fire in warehouses of the group and others. However, this is partially offset by gain on fair valuation of consideration payable to selling shareholders due to business combination

Commentary
-
The table illustrates expected ESOP cost for granted options[(4)]
-
Actual charges might be different based on incremental issuances as well as lapses. For any lapses of unvested ESOPs, normally on attrition, the cost of unvested ESOP recorded so far is reversed in that quarter
-
For new time-based ESOP grants, the total estimated charge would be the number of options granted times the fair value per share computed basis the fair value of the option, as per the valuation report at the time of grant. The charge is front-ended with approximately 52% in Year 1, 27% Year 2, 15% in Year 3 and 6% in Year 4, from the grant date
-
Movements of share price after the date of the grant do not affect the ESOP charge for already granted ESOPs
Notes:
-
Including all outstanding ESOPs
-
Vesting period ranges from one to four years
-
Vesting of these ESOPs are linked to market capitalization 4. Includes all options granted till September 30, 2025
