in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Other Information
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
Annual
Report 2023-24 47
Philips India Limited
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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
SAs 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 these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 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 management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’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 Company’s ability 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
financial statements 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud
may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference
to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to
financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating
effectively as at March 31, 2024, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the
Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

CORPORATE INFORMATION:
Philips India Limited (the ‘Company’) is a public limited company domiciled in India with its registered office at
3rd Floor, Tower A, DLF IT Park, 08 Block AF, Major Arterial Road, New Town (Rajarhat) Kolkata - 700156, West
Bengal, India. The Company’s business segments comprise of (a) Healthcare Systems, (b) Personal Health and (c)
Innovation Services. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Pune, Maharashtra, and Software Development
centre in Bangalore. The company sells its products primarily in India through independent distributors and modern
trade. The Financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 were authorized by the Board of Directors for
issue in accordance with resolution passed on August 7, 2024.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (referred to
as Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time), presentation requirement of Division II of Schedule
III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind. AS compliant Schedule III) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
These financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on
the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured
at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as stated in the accounting policies set out below. The
accounting policies have been applied consistently over all the years in these financial statements except,
where newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted.
Any asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following conditions:
• the asset/liability is expected to be realized/settled within twelve months after the reporting period.
• the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date;
• in the case of a liability, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified
as non-current assets and non-current liabilities.
For current & non-current classification of assets and liabilities, the Company has ascertained its normal
operating cycle as twelve months. This is based on the nature of services and the time between the
acquisition of assets or inventories for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in
the application of accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments
based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

Report 2023-24 63
Philips India Limited
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that
have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are
included in the following notes:
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses consequent to transition to IND AS. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the
period in which they are incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an
asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision
are met.
The useful life of major components of Property, Plant and Equipment is as follows:
Factory buildings 30 years, plant & equipment 3-17 years, general furniture and fixtures 5-10 years, office
equipment 3-5 years.
The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and management estimate,
depreciates certain items of plant and equipment over estimated useful lives which are different from
the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these
estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are
likely to be used.
Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Property, plant, and equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are
disclosed as “Capital work-in-progress”.
Depreciation is provided on the original cost on a straight-line method as per the useful lives of the
assets as estimated by the management which are equal to the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II
of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on medical equipment given on operating leases and leasehold
improvements is provided on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease or on their estimated useful
life, whichever is shorter.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss, if any.
Investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and
building component of investment property is depreciated over 30 years from the date of original purchase.

Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Though the Company measures investment properties using cost-based measurement, the fair value of
investment properties are disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation
performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model recommended by the
registered valuer as defined under Rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017.
Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as Capital Work-in-
Progress. Advances given towards acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are
disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets.
1.4. Inventories:
Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. In case of medical equipment / systems,
cost is determined on the basis of “First in First Out” method and inventories for ongoing projects are valued
at specific identification of cost method due to nature of the business. For all other items, cost is determined
on the basis of the weighted average method and includes all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. Finished goods and work-in-progress include appropriate proportion of costs of
conversion. Obsolete, defective, and unserviceable stocks are duly provided for.
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits
with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
a) Financial Assets:
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or
through profit or loss)
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent Measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in following categories:
• Equity instruments
Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognized entirely in the Statement
of Profit and Loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognized in other comprehensive income (i.e.
fair value through other comprehensive income). For investment in debt instruments, this will depend on
Annual
Report 2023-24 65
Philips India Limited
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
the business model in which the investment is held. For investment in equity instruments, this will depend
on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for
equity instruments at FVTOCI.
FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the
criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a Debt instrument that
is subsequently measured at FVTPL and is not a part of a hedging relationship is recognized in Statement
of Profit and Loss and presented net in the Statement of Profit and Loss within other gains or losses in the
period in which it arises. Interest income from these Debt instruments is included in other income.
All equity investments in scope of IND AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are
held for trading and contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which
IND AS103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an
irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income all subsequent changes in the fair value.The
Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial
recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from
OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured
at fair value with all changes recognized in the Profit and loss.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial
assets) is primarily de-recognized (i.e., removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when:
• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass
through” arrangement and either.
• the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets or
• the Company has retained the contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but
assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets. In such cases, the financial
asset is de-recognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the
ownership of the financial assets, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained
control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is
continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with IND AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Losses (ECL) model for measurement
and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial asset and credit risk exposure.
• Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
The Company follows “simplified approach” for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• All lease receivables resulting from the transactions within the scope of IND AS 116
Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade
receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life
of trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical
observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines
whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has
not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk
has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument
improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the
Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12- months ECL.
b) Financial Liabilities:
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. the Company financial
liabilities include loans and borrowings including bank overdraft, trade payable, trade deposits, retention
money, liabilities towards services, sales incentives and other payables.
Trade Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end
of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 120 days of
recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within
12 months after the reporting period.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or
medication is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Philips India Limited
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Offsetting of financial instruments:
Financials assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
1.7. Provisions & Contingencies:
Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at
each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate
that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company
or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases, where there is a
liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. the Company does not recognize a
contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements unless the probability of outflow of
resources is remote.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets, and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account
contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Amounts disclosed are net
of returns, trade discounts, rebates, Goods and Service Tax and amount collected on behalf of third parties.
• Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods and is measured at fair value of
consideration received/receivable, net of returns and allowances, discounts, volume rebates and cash
discounts. Revenue is usually recognized when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the
transaction will flow to the entity, amount of revenue can be measured reliably and entity retains neither
continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control
over the goods sold.
The consideration expected by the company may include fixed and/or variable amounts which can be
impacted by sales returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Transfer of control varies depending on the
individual terms of the contract of sale.
68
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Variable Consideration
A variable consideration is recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in
the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the
variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Such assessment is performed on each reporting date to
check whether it is constrained. For products for which a right of return exists during a defined period,
revenue recognition is determined based on the historical pattern of actual returns, or in cases where such
information is not available revenue recognition is postponed until the return period has lapsed. Return
policies are typically based on customary return arrangements in local markets.
Significant financing component
Generally, the Company receives advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in Ind AS 115,
the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing
component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised goods
or services to the customer and when the customer pays for that goods or services will be as per terms
of contract.
Warranty obligations
A provision is recognized for assurance-type product warranty at the time of revenue recognition and
reflects the estimated costs of replacement and free-of-charge services that will be incurred by the
company with respect to the products sold. For certain products, the customer has the option to purchase
the warranty separately, which is considered a separate performance obligation on top of the assurance-
type product warranty. For such warranties which provide distinct service, revenue recognition occurs on a
straight-line basis over the extended warranty contract period. In the case of loss under a sales agreement,
the loss is recognized immediately.
• Contract Balances:
Contract assets:
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the
customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer
pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration
that is conditional. A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional.
Contract liabilities:
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company
has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays
consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is
recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are
recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
• Assets and Liabilities arising from rights of return.
Right of return assets:
Right of return asset represents the Company’s right to recover the goods expected to be returned by
customers. The asset is measured at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs
to recover the goods, including any potential decreases in the value of the returned goods. The Company
updates the measurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to its expected level of returns, as well
as any additional decreases in the value of the returned products.

Report 2023-24 69
Philips India Limited
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Refund Liabilities:
A refund liability is the obligation to refund some, or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from
the customer and is measured at the amount the Company ultimately expects it will have to return to
the customer. The Company updates its estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding change in
the transaction price) at the end of each reporting period. Refer to above accounting policy on variable
consideration.
• Rendering of Services
Revenue from service-related activities is recognized as and when services are rendered and on the basis
of contractual terms with the parties.
Income from annual maintenance service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of
contracts and income from other service contracts is recognized on completion of the service rendered.
Revenue from assets given on operating leases is recognized as per terms and conditions of the agreements.
Revenue from software development services is billed to clients on cost plus basis as per the terms of the
specific contracts.
• Export benefits
Income from export incentives such as duty drawback, merchandise export incentive scheme and service
export incentive scheme are recognized in accordance with their respective underlying scheme at fair value
of consideration received or receivable.
• Interest Income
Interest income is recorded on a time proportion basis considering the amounts invested and the rate of
interest.
• Rental Income
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within
twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in
respect of employee service up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amount expected
to be paid when the liabilities are settled. the liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in
the balance sheet.
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as Employees’ State Insurance, labour welfare fund,
superannuation scheme, employee pension scheme etc. are charged as an expense based on the amount of
contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. Company’s provident
fund contribution is made to a government administered fund and charged as an expense to the Statement of
Profit and Loss. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no
further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.
70
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Defined Benefit Plans
Liability for defined benefit plan is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent
Actuary at year end using the Projected Unit Credit Method.The discount rate used for determining the present
value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yield on government securities of
a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the related obligations at the Balance
Sheet date. Termination benefits are recognized as and when incurred.
The Company covers the liability towards employees’ gratuity managed through Income Tax recognized trust.
Liability with respect to the Gratuity plan, determined on basis of actuarial valuation as described above, and any
differential between the fund amount as per the trust and the liabilities as per actuarial valuation is recognized
as an asset or liability. Annual contributions are made to the employee’s gratuity fund, established with the
insurance company based on an actuarial valuation carried out as at 31 March each year. The fair value of plan
assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognize the obligation on net
basis.
In respect of gratuity, any differences between the interest income on plan assets and the return achieved, and
any changes in the liabilities over the year due to changes in actuarial assumptions or experience adjustments
within the plans, are recognized immediately in ‘Other comprehensive income’ and subsequently not reclassified
to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In respect of compensated absences, actuarial gains / losses are recognized
in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.
The Company operates a defined Post-Retirement Medical Benefit plan for certain specified employees and is
payable upon the employee satisfying certain conditions.
Share-based payments
Certain employees are given stock option plans of Ultimate Holding Company. The cost of stock option plans
is calculated by the Ultimate Holding Company using the Black and Scholes option pricing model. The cost
calculated using this method is recognized as an employee benefits expense over the vesting period of the
options.
Income tax expense for the year comprises of current tax and deferred tax. It is recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination or to an item which is recognized
directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current Tax:
Current income tax, assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered
from the taxation authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Computation
and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) enacted in India by using tax rates and the tax laws that are enacted at the
reporting date.
Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward
of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
Annual
Report 2023-24 71
Philips India Limited
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax
asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized
to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right
to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different
taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax
liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
1.11. Leases:
As a lessee
The Company mainly has lease arrangements for leasehold land, vehicles, and buildings (office premises).
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. This assessment
involves the exercise of judgement about whether there is an identified asset, whether the Company has the
right to direct the use of the asset and whether the Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits
from the use of that asset.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the lease commencement
date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate, term and currency of the contract. Generally,
the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred
and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset on the
site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated
using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the
right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined
on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced
by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability
Lease liability is accounted at amortized cost. The lease liabilities are adjusted for the lease payments made by
the Company. Lease payments are allocated between principle and finance cost. Finance cost is charged to profit
and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability for each period. In case of changes in the future lease payments due to renegotiation, changes of
an index or rate, the lease liability is re-measured (with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use
asset).
72
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities for short term leases as well as low value assets.The Company applies the short-term
lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a
lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option).”
The financial statements are presented in INR, the functional currency of the Company. Items included in the
financial statements of the Company are recorded using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company operates (the ‘functional currency’).
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange
rate prevailing at the date of transaction.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the
functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized as income or
expense in the period in which they arise with the exception of exchange differences on gain or loss arising on
translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value which is treated in line with the recognition of the
gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or
loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset/
liability
The estimated fair value amounts of forward exchange contracts as at March 31, 2024 have been measured
as at that date. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in
the period in which the exchange rates changes. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such
forward exchange contract is also recognized as income or expense for the period.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured
based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the
discounted cash flow model, which involve various judgements and assumptions.
The fair value of financial instruments has been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in
the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
• Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and

1.14.Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted

28. Employees’ Share-based Payments
Certain employees of the company are eligible for stock options granted by the Holding Company (“KPNV”). In conformity
with the guidance note on “Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments” issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (ICAI) in respect of the grants made on or after 1 April 2005, the following disclosures are made:
(a) Method adopted for valuation
Stock compensation expenses under the “Fair Value Method” are determined based on the “Fair Value of the
Options” and amortised over the vesting period. The “Fair Value of the Options” is determined using “Black-Scholes”
option pricing model.
(b) Nature and extent of Employee Share-based Payment Plans:
As from 2003 onwards, the Holding Company (KPNV) issued restricted share rights that vest in equal annual
instalments over a three-year period. Restricted shares are KPNV’s shares that the grantee will receive in three
successive years, provided the grantee is still with the Company on the respective delivery dates. If the grantee still
holds the shares after three years from the delivery date, Philips will grant 20% additional (premium) shares, provided
the grantee is still with Philips. As from 2002, the Holding Company granted fixed stock options that expire after 10
years. Generally, the options vest after 3 years; however, a limited number of options granted to certain employees of
acquired businesses contain accelerated vesting. In prior years, fixed and variable (performance) options were issued
with terms of ten years, vesting one to three years after grant.
In 2013, a new Plan has been introduced which consists of performance shares only. The performance is measured
over a three-year performance period. The performance shares vest three years after the grant date. The number of
performance shares that will vest is dependent on achieving performance conditions, which are equally weighted, and
provided that the grantee is still employed with the Company.
Restricted shares exclude 20% additional (premium) shares that may be received if shares awarded under the
restricted share rights plan are not sold for a three-year period.
(c) Method and assumptions for arriving at the Fair Value of Restricted Shares:
The fair value of restricted shares is equal to the Fair Value of the stock at grant date net of the present value of
dividends which will not be received up to the vesting date. The expected dividend used is the dividend of the
preceding year.
(d) Method and assumptions for arriving at the Fair Value of Performance Shares:
The fair value of the performance shares is measured based on Monte-Carlo simulation and the following weighted
average assumptions for the 2023-24 grants.
1. Risk free interest rate 2.55%
2. Expected share price volatility 36%

Revenue from contract with customers
The Company applied judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue
from contracts with customers, such as identifying performance obligations in a bundled sales transactions,
wherein, the Company sell goods and maintenance/ warranty services separately or bundled together with sales
of goods. In certain non-standard contracts, where the Company provides extended warranties in respect of
sale of consumer durable goods, the Company allocated the apportion of the transaction price to goods bases
on its relative standalone prices. Also, certain contracts of sale includes volume rebates that give rise to variable
consideration. In estimating the variable consideration the Company has used a combination of most likely
amount method and expected value method. Further, in respect of long term contracts, the Company has used
the incremental borrowing rate to the discount the consideration as this is the rate which commensurate with
rate that would be reflected in separate financing arrangement between the Company and its customer.
(ii) Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year, are described below. The company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when
the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the company. Such
changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the
amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the long-term
nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and
the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax
income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The
amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing
interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of
interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective
domicile of the companies.
Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value
of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various
assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the
discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its
long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions
are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans
operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent
with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality
tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity
increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries. Further details about gratuity
obligations are given in Note 27.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured
based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the
DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is
not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of
inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the
reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 33 and 34 for further disclosures.

Warranty
The Company periodically assesses and provides for the estimated liability on warranty given on sale of its
products based on past performance of such products.
Provision for decommissioning
As part of the identification and measurement of assets and liabilities, the Company recognizes provision for
decommissioning obligations associated with Leasehold Improvements. In determining the fair value of the
provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and
the expected timing of those costs. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset
after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. The
carrying amount of the provision as at 31 March 2024 was `50 (31 March 2023: `38). The Company estimates
that the costs would be realised upon the expiration of the lease period.

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The
Company’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due
without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions. The
Company maintained a cautious liquidity strategy, with a positive cash balance throughout the year ended 31st March,
2024 and 31st March, 2023. Cash flow from operating activities provides the funds to service the financial liabilities
on a day-to-day basis. The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-
going basis to meet operational needs. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required
for working capital management and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the
extent required) and any excess is invested in interest bearing term deposits with appropriate maturities to optimise
the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.

40. Leases
As a Lessee:
The Company has lease contracts for vehicles, office buildings and leasehold land. Lease terms of vehicles vary between 3-5
years, while other leases have lease terms between 5-7 years and for leasehold land, lease term is 95 years. The Company’s
obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Consequently, the Company recorded the
lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as on the
date of transition and has measured right of use asset at an amount equal to lease liability adjusted for any related prepaid
and accrued lease payments previously recognized.
The Company also has leases of low value and applies the ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.
Following is carrying value of Right of Use assets recognized on date of transition and the movements
thereof during the year.
