Independent Auditor’s Review Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

To The Board of Directors, BSE Limited

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of BSE Limited (the “Holding Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) and its associates for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and year to date from April 01, 2020 to September 30, 2020 (the “Statement”) attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).

  2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Holding Company’s Management and approved by the Holding Company’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) “Interim Financial Reporting” prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

  3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated March 29, 2019 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

  1. The Statement includes the results of the following entities:

  2. i. List of subsidiaries

    • a) BSE Institute Limited

    • b) Marketplace Technologies Private Limited

    • c) Indian Clearing Corporation Limited

    • d) India International Clearing Corporation (IFSC) Limited

    • e) BSE Investments Limited

    • f) BSE Sammaan CSR Limited

    • g) India International Exchange (IFSC) Limited

  3. ii. List of associates

    • a) Central Depository Services (India) Limited

    • b) Asia Index Private Limited

  1. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and based on the consideration of the review reports of other auditors referred to in paragraph 7 below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

6. Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 11 to the Statement, in respect of contribution required to be made as on September 30, 2020, of Rs. 1,267 lakhs to Core Settlement Guarantee Fund (‘core SGF’) by the Holding Company to clearing corporations other than Indian Clearing Corporation Limited. Considering the representation made by the Holding Company to Securities Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) and pending final decision from SEBI in this regard, no impact has been considered in the Statement.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

  1. The accompanying statement includes unaudited interim financial results and other unaudited financial information of seven subsidiaries, whose unaudited interim financial results reflect Group’s share of total assets of Rs. 2,02,330 lakhs as at September 30, 2020, and Group’s share of total revenues of Rs. 3,775 lakhs and Rs. 7,905 lakhs, Group’s share of total net loss after tax of Rs. 220 lakhs and Rs. 851 lakhs and Group’s share of total comprehensive loss of Rs. 523 lakhs and Rs. 1,133 lakhs for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and for the period from April 01, 2020 to September 30, 2020, respectively, and net cash outflows of Rs. 4,844 lakhs for the period from April 01, 2020 to September 30, 2020 as considered in the Statement, which have been reviewed by their respective independent auditors.

The independent auditors’ reports on interim financial results of these subsidiaries have been furnished to us by the Management, and our conclusion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of such auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.

Our conclusion on the Statement in respect of above matter is not modified with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors.

4 (a) Pursuant to SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/MRD/DSA/CIR/P/2017/95 dated August 10, 2017 (INDIA INX Circular no-20171017-1, dated

2020, six months ended September 30, 2019 and year ended March 31, 2020 respectively.
(b) 'Pursuant to SEBI Circular CIR/MRD/DP/14/2014 dated April 23,2014 and BSE Notice no-20190805-10, 20190925-31, 20191108-
25, with effect from November 25, 2019, the Company has introduced the Liquidity Enhancement Scheme (LES) in derivatives. An
expense of ₹ 491 Lakh, ₹ 201 Lakh, ₹ 692 Lakh and ₹ 219 Lakh has been incurred towards the scheme for the quarter ended
September 30, 2020, quarter ended June 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2020
respectively.
5 (a) During the previous year, the Company had divested its 4% stake in its associate company Central Depository Services (India)
Limited ("CDSL") through offer for sale. The profit on divestment amounting to ₹ 3,204 Lakh was reflected as an "Exceptional Item"
in the Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2020.
(b) S & P Dow Jones Indices LLC and SPDJ Singapore Pte Ltd (hereinafter collectively called as “SPDJ”) had filed arbitration
proceedings against BSE under Singapore International Arbitration Center’s rules, inter alia, challenging the termination of index
licensing arrangement by BSE Limited. The Final Award passed by the Arbitrator Tribunal dated September 17, 2020 inter-alia, held
that the termination of the Agreements by BSE is invalid, the Agreement continue to remain in force and the costs of arbitration,
legal and other costs incurred by SPDJ shall be borne by the BSE. Accrodingly, as amount of ₹ 1,453 Lakh is payable by BSE to SPDJ
with interest upto date of payment. The said amount has been provided in books of accounts for the current quarter and has been
disclosed as an "Exceptional item" for the quarter and period ended September 30, 2020. Interest of ₹ 3 Lakh upto September 30,
2020 has also been provided as finance cost.
6 As per the assessment of management, there are no lease contracts for which IND AS 116 – Leases is required to be applied.
7 (a) Based on the assessment orders received, interest on Income Tax refund, as allowed in the assessments, of ₹ 14 Lakh, ₹ 18 Lakh
and ₹ 18 Lakh has been included in "Other Income" for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, six months ended September 30,
2019, and year ended March 31, 2020 respectively.
(b) A Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 (“Ordinance”) on September 20, 2019 has amended the Income Tax Act, 1961
and Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019, by which the option has been provided for the lower tax regime without any incentives for the
domestic companies. Under the revised tax regime, benefit of accumulated Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is not allowed.
Considering the substantial accumulated MAT credit, the holding company and certain subsidiaries have assessed that, at present it
is beneficial not to opt for the option of availing revised income tax rate. The tax liability for the current period and previous period
has been accordingly calculated. For the remaining subsidiaries the tax liability has been made, applying the revised tax rate.
(c) The Company has been creating deferred tax liability in its consolidated financial statements on undistributed profits of Central
Depository Services (India) Limited ("CDSL") to the extent of its investment in the associate. During the year ended March 31, 2020,
the company sold 4% of its stake in CDSL, due to which dividend distribution tax will no longer be payable in future to the extent of
4% and hence deferred tax liability was reversed to the extent of ₹ 151 Lakh for the year ended March 31, 2020.
(d) As per the Accounting standard applicable to the company, deferred tax liability was provided in the Consolidated Financial
statements in respect of undistributed profits of associates. With the abolition of Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) and introduction
of Section 80 M of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in the Finance Act, 2020, Dividend from associates will no longer be taxed in the hands
of the company. Accordingly, an amount of ₹ 1,812 Lakh provided as tax on undistributed profits of associates, in earlier years, has
been rendered excess and has been written back and netted off from the tax expenses for the current quarter.
8 During the previous year, the Company had opted for the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) scheme, 2019 for the
settlement of service tax matter of earlier years. Accordingly, an amount of ₹ 366 Lakh was paid under the said scheme, which was
charged to the profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 2020.
9 The Company had earlier received observations from SEBI in respect of inspection conducted for the period 2005 – 2017, in which
the Company was asked to plough back certain amount to Investors’ Services Fund (“ISF”) and BSE Investors Protection Fund Trust
(“IPF”) in respect of expenses charged in the earlier years to these funds. On the basis of response submitted by the Company. In
March 2020, SEBI concluded and instructed the company to plough back an amount of ₹ 1,037 Lakh along with interest to the said
funds. Consequently, an expense of ₹ 1,385 Lakh was charged to the profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 2020
along with expense of ₹ 476 Lakh for the year ended March 31, 2018. Accordingly, an amount aggregating to ₹ 1,861 Lakh was
disclosed as "Provision for Additional Contribution to ISF and IPF" for the year ended March 31, 2020. Subsequently, based on final
amount arrived by SEBI, the company has reassessed amount chargeable to the fund for earlier years and has written back ₹ 595
Lakh to "Other income" in the current quarter.

quarter ended June 30, 2020, quarter ended September 30, 2019, six months ended September 30, 2020, six months ended
September 30, 2019 and year ended March 31, 2020 respectively. An amount of ₹ 1,254 Lakh was already provided in the year
March 31, 2019.
11 Interoperability of settlements amongst clearing corporations was implemented from June 2019. After implementation of
interoperability, the members have the option to choose the clearing corporation to clear their trades. Based on their selection, the
trades of BSE are cleared by respective clearing corporations.
As per the requirement arising out of August 27, 2014 SEBI Circular on CIR\MRD\DRMNP\25\2014, for contribution by exchange to
Core SGF ("Settlement Guarantee Fund"), BSE needs to contribute to Core SGFs of all the Clearing corporations through which its
trades are cleared.
BSE has already contributed ₹ 15,541 Lakh to Indian Clearing Corporation Ltd ("ICCL")., which is in excess by ₹ 12,694 Lakh as
compared to the requirement relating to the contribution required to be made to ICCL for Core SGF, as of September 30, 2020.
Based on the transactions executed on BSE, which are cleared by other Clearing Corporations, requirement to contribute for Core
SGF is ₹ 1,267 Lakh as on September 30, 2020. The Board of the Company has represented SEBI to allow utilisation of excess
contribution by BSE lying with ICCL to the requirement of Core SGF contribution to other clearing corporations. The Company has
also represented to SEBI that the contribution by exchanges towards Core SGF of clearing corporations may be allowed to be
contributed in the form of Bank Fixed Deposit / Government Securities. The Company is awaiting final decision of SEBI in this
regard.
In view of the above, no contribution has been made to other clearing corporations and the Company has not taken any charge for
the contribution to Core SGF in the statement of profit and loss. The Management has also assessed that there is no impact on their
operations with clearing corporations due to non payment of contribution to Core SGF.
12 The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread rapidly across the globe including India. On March 11, 2020, the
COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The Indian government had announced
countrywide lockdown which is continuing at present.
In this nation-wide lock-down period, though all the services across the nation were suspended, some essential services
establishments including securities market participants could operate and were exempted from the lock-down.
The management has assessed the potential impact of the COVID-19 on the Company. Based on the current assessment, the
management is of the view that impact of COVID-19 on the operations of the Company and the carrying value of its assets and
liabilities is not likely to be material.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Unaudited Standalone Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

To The Board of Directors, BSE Limited

  1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of BSE Limited (the “Company”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and year to date from April 01, 2020 to September 30, 2020 (the “Statement”) attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).

  2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company’s Management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) “Interim Financial Reporting” prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

  3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

  4. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

5. Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 11 to the Statement, in respect of contribution required to be made as on September 30, 2020, of Rs. 1,267 lakhs to Core Settlement Guarantee Fund (‘core SGF’) by the Company to clearing corporations other than Indian Clearing Corporation Limited. Considering the representation made by the Company to Securities Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) and pending final decision from SEBI in this regard, no impact has been considered in the Statement.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

"Limited Review" of the said standalone financial results.
2 The above standalone financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2020 are prepared in accordance with the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
3 The Company operates only in one Business Segment i.e. "Facilitating Trading in Securities and other related ancillary Services", hence
does not have any reportable Segments as per Ind-AS 108 "Operating Segments".
4 (a) During the previous year, the Company had divested its 4% stake in its associate company Central Depository Services (India)
Limited ("CDSL") through offer for sale. The profit on divestment amounting to ₹ 9,158 Lakh was reflected as an "Exceptional Item" in
the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2020.
(b) S & P Dow Jones Indices LLC and SPDJ Singapore Pte Ltd (hereinafter collectively called as “SPDJ”) had filed arbitration proceedings
against BSE under Singapore International Arbitration Center’s rules, inter alia, challenging the termination of index licensing
arrangement by BSE Limited. The Final Award passed by the Arbitrator Tribunal dated September 17, 2020 inter-alia, held that the
termination of the Agreements by BSE is invalid, the Agreement continue to remain in force and the costs of arbitration, legal and
other costs incurred by SPDJ shall be borne by the BSE. Accrodingly, as amount of ₹ 1,453 Lakh is payable by BSE to SPDJ with interest
upto date of payment. The said amount has been provided in books of accounts for the current quarter and has been disclosed as an

of service tax matter of earlier years. Accordingly, an amount of ₹ 366 Lakh was paid under the said scheme, which was charged to
the profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 2020.

11 Interoperability of settlements amongst clearing corporations was implemented from June 2019. After implementation of
interoperability, the members have the option to choose the clearing corporation to clear their trades. Based on their selection, the
trades of BSE are cleared by respective clearing corporations.
As per the requirement arising out of August 27, 2014 SEBI Circular on CIR\MRD\DRMNP\25\2014, for contribution by exchange to
Core SGF ("Settlement Guarantee Fund"), BSE needs to contribute to Core SGFs of all the Clearing corporations through which its
trades are cleared.
BSE has already contributed ₹ 15,541 Lakh to Indian Clearing Corporation Ltd ("ICCL")., which is in excess by ₹ 12,694 Lakh as
compared to the requirement relating to the contribution required to be made to ICCL for Core SGF, as of September 30, 2020. Based
on the transactions executed on BSE, which are cleared by other Clearing Corporations, requirement to contribute for Core SGF is ₹
1,267 Lakh as on September 30, 2020. The Board of the Company has represented SEBI to allow utilisation of excess contribution by
BSE lying with ICCL to the requirement of Core SGF contribution to other clearing corporations. The Company has also represented to
SEBI that the contribution by exchanges towards Core SGF of clearing corporations may be allowed to be contributed in the form of
Bank Fixed Deposit / Government Securities. The Company is awaiting final decision of SEBI in this regard.
In view of the above, no contribution has been made to other clearing corporations and the Company has not taken any charge for
the contribution to Core SGF in the statement of profit and loss. The Management has also assessed that there is no impact on their
operations with clearing corporations due to non payment of contribution to Core SGF.
12 The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread rapidly across the globe including India. On March 11, 2020, the
COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The Indian government had announced
countrywide lockdown which is continuing at present.
In this nation-wide lock-down period, though all the services across the nation were suspended, some essential services
establishments including securities market participants could operate and were exempted from the lock-down.
The management has assessed the potential impact of the COVID-19 on the Company. Based on the current assessment, the
management is of the view that impact of COVID-19 on the operations of the Company and the carrying value of its assets and
liabilities is not likely to be material.
13 Previous quarter's / period's/ year's figures have been regrouped / reclassified and rearranged wherever necessary to correspond with
the current quarter's / period's/ year's classification / disclosure.
