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
Review Report to The Board of Directors, BSE Limited
-
- 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, 2021 and year to date from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021 (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").
-
- 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, 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("Ind AS 34") 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.
-
- 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.
-
- The Statement includes the results of the following entities:
-
i. List of subsidiaries
- a) BSE Institute Limited
- b) BSE Technologies Private Limited
- c) Indian Clearing Corporation Limited
- d) India International Clearing Corporation (IFSC) Limited
-
e) BSE Investments Limited
-
f) BSE Sammaan CSR Limited

- 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 6 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 Ind AS 34 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, 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.

Previous periods's figures have been regrouped wherever necessary.


- 1 The Consolidated financial results comprises of results of BSE Limited ("Holding Company"), its subsidiaries and its associates (together referred to as "the Group"). The above consolidated financial results for the quarter and six month ended September 30, 2021 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2021 and the statutory auditors of the Holding Company have conducted "Limited Review" of the said consolidated financial results for the quarter and six month ended September 30, 2021.
- 2 The above consolidated financial results for the quarter and six month ended September 30, 2021 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 Group 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 S & P Dow Jones Indices LLC and SPDJ Singapore Pte Ltd (hereinafter collectively called as "SPDJ") had filed arbitration proceedings against Holding Company under Singapore International Arbitration Center's rules, inter alia, challenging the termination of index licensing arrangement by Holding Company. The Final Award passed by the Arbitrator Tribunal dated September 17, 2020 inter-alia, held that the termination of the Agreements by Holding Company 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 Holding Company. Accordingly, an amount of 1,453 Lakh was paid by Holding Company to SPDJ with interest upto the date of payment. The amount paid has been disclosed as an "Exceptional item" for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2021. Interest paid to SPDJ of 3 Lakh, 3 Lakh and 17 Lakh has been disclosed as finance cost for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
- 5 (a) 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.
(b) 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 in earlier years as tax on undistributed profits of associates was rendered excess and was written back from the tax expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended March 31, 2021.
- 6 Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2021 includes write-back of Rs. 595 lakhs in respect of expenses earlier provided for recovery from Investors' Services Fund ("ISF") and BSE Investors Protection Fund Trust ("IPF").
- 7 The management has, at the time of approving the financial results, assessed the potential impact of the COVID-19 on the Group. Based on the current assessment, the management is of the view that impact of COVID-19 on the operations of the Group and the carrying value of its assets and liabilities is minimal.
- 8 The Code on Social Security,2020 ('Code') relating to employee benefits during employment and post-employment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India. However, the date on which the code will come into effect has not been notified and the final rules/interpretation have not yet been issued. The Group will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective.
- 9 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 classification / disclosure.

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
Review Report to The Board of Directors, BSE Limited
-
- We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of BSE Limited (the "Company") for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and year to date from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021 (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").
-
- 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, 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("Ind AS 34") 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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 Ind AS 34 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, 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.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of the financial statements
-
The Cash Flow Statement has been prepared under the "Indirect Method" as set out in Indian Accounting Standard - 7 "Cash Flow Statement".
-
Movement in earmarked liabilities and assets are not considered.
-
Previous period's figures have been regrouped wherever necessary.


- 1 The above standalone financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2021 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2021 and the statutory auditors of the Company have conducted "Limited Review" of the said standalone financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2021.
- 2 The above standalone financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2021 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 During the previous year, S & P Dow Jones Indices LLC and SPDJ Singapore Pte Ltd (hereinafter collectively called as "SPDJ") had filed arbitration proceedings against the Company under Singapore International Arbitration Center's rules, inter alia, challenging the termination of index licensing arrangement by the Company. The Final Award passed by the Arbitrator Tribunal dated September 17, 2020 inter-alia, held that the termination of the Agreements by the Company 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 Company. Accordingly, an amount of 1,453 Lakh was paid by the Company to SPDJ with interest upto the date of payment. The amount paid has been disclosed as an "Exceptional item" for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2021. Interest paid to SPDJ of 3 Lakh, 3 Lakh and 17 Lakh has been disclosed as finance costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
- 5 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 management has 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.
- 6 Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, six months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2021 includes writeback of 595 Lakh in respect of expenses earlier provided for recovery from Investors' Services Fund ("ISF") and BSE Investors Protection Fund Trust ("IPF").
- 7 The management has, at the time of approving the financial results, 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 minimal.
- 8 The Code on Social Security,2020 ('Code') relating to employee benefits during employment and post-employment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India. However, the date on which the code will come into effect has not been notified and the final rules/interpretation have not yet been issued. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective.
- 9 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 classification / disclosure.
