Significant components of net deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the year ended March 31, 2016 are as follows: (not
reproduced as similar to 31-3-2017
)

Under
the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, the Company is liable to pay Minimum Alternate
Tax in the tax holiday period. MAT paid can be carried forward for a period of
15 years and can be set off against the future tax liabilities. MAT is
recognised as a deferred tax asset only when the asset can be measured reliably
and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset
will be realised. Accordingly, the Company has recognised a deferred tax asset
of Rs. 2,062 crores and has not recognised a deferred tax asset of Rs. 1,108
crores as at March 31, 2017.

The
Company has ongoing disputes with Income Tax authorities relating to tax
treatment of certain items. These mainly include disallowed expenses, tax
treatment of certain expenses claimed by the Company as deductions, and
computation of, or eligibility of, certain tax incentives or allowances. As at
March 31, 2017, the Company has contingent liability in respect of demands from
direct tax authorities in India, which are being contested by the Company on
appeal amounting Rs. 2,688 crores. In respect of tax contingencies of Rs. 318
crores, not included above, the Company is entitled to an indemnification from
the seller of TCS e-Serve Limited.

The
Company periodically receives notices and inquiries from income tax authorities
related to the Company’s operations in the jurisdictions it operates in. The
Company has evaluated these notices and inquiries and has concluded that any
consequent income tax claims or demands by the income tax authorities will not
succeed on ultimate resolution.

The
number of years that are subject to tax assessments varies depending on tax
jurisdiction. The major tax jurisdictions of Tata Consultancy Services Limited
include India, United States of America and United Kingdom.  In India, tax filings from fiscal 2014 are
generally subject to examination by the tax authorities. In United States of
America, the federal statute of limitation applies to fiscals 2013 and earlier
and applicable state statutes of limitation vary by state. In United Kingdom,
the statute of limitation generally applies to fiscal 2014 and earlier.
