The Government of India recently amended the tax incentives available to companies set up in designated STPs. The period of the STP Tax Holiday available to such companies is restricted to 10 consecutive years beginning from the financial year when the unit started rendering business process management services or March 31, 2011, whichever is earlier.

The Company also has operations in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Income from SEZs is fully tax exempt for the first 5 years, 50% exempt for the next 5 years and 50% exempt for another 5 years subject to fulfilling certain conditions. Pursuant to the amendments in the Indian Income Tax Act, the Company has calculated its tax liability after considering Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). The MAT liability can be carried forward and set off against the future tax liabilities. Accordingly, Rs. 41.82 crore was carried forward and shown under “Loans and Advances” in the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2010 and Rs 22.65 crores as of March 31, 2009.
