(COMPAT). The Company had filed an appeal before Hon’ble Supreme Court of India (Hon’ble
Court) against the said order which the Hon’ble Court admitted vide its order dated 27 August
2014 and the Company deposited ₹ 630.00 crores on Hon’ble Court’s direction and has shown
the same as recoverable in the books. The Company has filed an application seeking refund
including interest, which is to be listed along-with main appeal in due course.
(ii) CCI vide its order dated 14 May 2015 had directed one of the subsidiary company relating to
New Town Heights Project, to cease and desist in implementation of the terms and conditions
of Apartment Buyer Agreement which is found to be unfair and abusive. No penalty has been
imposed by CCI. Appeals filed by the Company were dismissed by COMPAT and the order of
the COMPAT was challenged by the Company, before the Hon’ble Court. The appeals have
been tagged with the main appeal (mentioned in Para-a(i) above).
b) In a matter, the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana passed order against the Company,
one of its subsidiaries and a joint venture company cancelling the sale deeds of land/removal of
construction relating to two IT SEZ/ IT Park Projects in Gurugram admeasuring 56.48 acres. The
said order was challenged by the Company before Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and the matter
is stayed till further orders.
c) In a matter alleging the Company for non-disclosure of material information at the time of filing
Red Herring Prospectus in 2007, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) restrained
the Company and its Officers/certain directors from accessing the securities market and
prohibited them from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, in any
manner, whatsoever, for a period of three years. The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) vide its
order dated 13 March 2015 quashed and set aside the order passed by SEBI. Against SAT’s order,
SEBI filed an appeal with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India (Hon’ble Court), which stood
admitted vide order dated 24 April 2015 without granting any interim stay in favour of SEBI. In
October 2015, SEBI filed applications before the Hon'ble Court seeking, restraint on the
Company, its promoters and/or directors from proceeding with the sale of 159,699,999
Cumulative Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares of DLF Cyber City Developers Limited
held by the promoter group companies to third party institutional investors. The said applications
came up for hearing before the Hon’ble Court on 4 November 2015 and the Hon’ble Court did
not pass any orders restraining the Transaction and simply directed that the said applications be
listed along with the appeal. The matters are pending for final outcome.
d) A subsidiary company has total outstanding trade receivables from Coal India Limited and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as “CIL”) amounting to ₹ 259.68 crores. The subsidiary company
and CIL had approached JSERC (Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission) for fixation
of tariff, who passed the order in favor of the subsidiary company and the same was upheld by
Appellate Tribunal. CIL filed appeal before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India (Hon’ble Court)
which issued order dated 14 September 2012 directing CIL to pay tariff fixed by JSERC as
confirmed by Appellate Tribunal, however, the said amount is still pending recovery. The
subsidiary company believes that pending final disposal of the matter and keeping in view the
interim relief granted by the Hon’ble Court the amounts due from CIL are fully recoverable. In
addition, there are other similar cases from other customers wherein amount involved is ₹ 137.18
crores and the subsidiary company is confident of its recovery based on the Court decisions till
date and legal advice.
Based on the grounds of the appeals and advice of the independent legal counsels, management believes
that there is strong likelihood of succeeding in respect of above matters. Pending the final decisions on
the above matters, no adjustment is required to be made in these consolidated financial results.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Results
e) In earlier years, one of the joint venture company, Twenty Five Downtown Reality Limited
[formerly Joyous Housing Limited (JHL)] defaulted in meeting its debt obligation to a housing
finance company (HFC or Lender). Disputes arose between the shareholders of JHL, and an
arbitration for repayment of the Company’s entire outstanding dues, inclusive of interest, from
JHL is ongoing between the shareholders.
Meanwhile, the Lender assigned the loan to Omkara Asset Reconstruction Company Limited
(ARC) and also invoked the pledge of shares, despite the Company’s acceptance of Lender’s offer
to purchase 100% shares of JHL (at a price higher than the reserve price) and repay the outstanding
dues of the Lender. The ARC thereafter sold 75% shares of JHL (including 37.5% shares of the
Company) to a third party.
The aforesaid assignment of loan as well as the sale of shares has been challenged by the Company
before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, and the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi has referred the
said disputes between all parties involved to arbitration before a sole arbitrator i.e. Mr. Justice
(Retd.) V. Ramasubramanian, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India, which arbitration is
currently ongoing.
Owing to the ongoing actions and circumstances, which are challenged by the Company, JHL at
present is not a joint venture of the Company, only in accordance with Ind AS 111 ‘Joint
Arrangement” read with Ind AS 110 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’.
The Company has also filed a petition under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code,
2016 against JHL before the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai for initiation of corporate
insolvency proceedings against JHL on basis of admission of liability in its audited balance sheets.
At present the total loan and investments of the Company in JHL are ₹ 562.49 crores. Further,
based on the legal advice, management believes that it has a strong likelihood of successful
outcome in its favour. Still, due to ongoing dispute and uncertainties involved w.r.t. outcome of
litigation/arbitration and consequential impact on recoverability of the Company’s
investment/loan, the provision recognised against such investment/loan is considered to be
adequate.
The above litigations as mentioned in point 6 (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) are subject matter of ‘Emphasis of
Matter’ in Independent Auditor’s Audit Report.
7. The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend of ₹ 5 per share (250 %) on equity shares of ₹
2 each, for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 for the approval of shareholders.
8. During the quarter, DLF Home Developers Limited (‘DHDL’), a wholly-owned material subsidiary,
has allotted 60,000 – 8.50% Senior, Secured, Rated, Listed, Redeemable, Guaranteed, Rupee
Denominated Non-Convertible Debentures (‘NCDs’) of the face value of ₹ 100,000 each at par,
amounting to ₹ 600.00 crores by way of private placement. The NCDs are secured by way of pari-passu
charge on immovable property situated in New Delhi, owned by another wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company.
In accordance with the terms of the Debenture Trust Deed, the security is sufficient to cover more than
one hundred and fifty percent of principal and interest outstanding in respect of these NCDs.
Out of the total proceeds of ₹ 600.00 crores from issuance of said non-convertible debentures, there is
no utilization of proceeds as at 31 March 2024 and the entire proceeds are invested in fixed deposits.
