1) a) The Income Tax Authorities had made disallowances of SEZ profits u/s 80IAB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 during tax assessment of the Company raising demands amounting to ' 109.00 lakhs for the assessment year 2015-16; ' 1,056.00 lakhs for the assessment year 2014-15; ' 6,834.00 lakhs for the assessment year 2013-14; ' 7,308.99 lakhs for the assessment year 2011-12; ' 7,284.99 lakhs for the assessment year 2010-11; ' 35,523.71 lakhs for the assessment year 2009-10 and ' 48,723.00 lakhs for the assessment year 2008-09, respectively.

The Company had filed appeals before the appropriate appellate authorities against these demands for the said assessment years and have got full relief of ' 106,840.45 lakhs i.e. ' 105,675.62 lakhs from the Hon'ble Income Tax Appellate Tribunal against which, the department appeal(s) are pending before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court and ' 1,164.83 lakhs from CIT (Appeals), against which, the department appeal(s) are pending before the Hon'ble Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

Based on the advice from independent tax experts and the development on the appeals, the management is confident that additional tax so demanded will not be sustained on completion of the appellate proceedings and accordingly, pending the decision by the appellate authorities, no provision has been made in these standalone financial statements.

b) The Income tax Authorities have disallowed one-time losses claimed by the company in assessment year 2017-18 and 2019-20 on account of mandatory adoption of erstwhile Ind AS 18 "Revenue” read with Guidance Note for Real Estate Transactions for Ind AS compliant entities and Ind AS 115 "Revenue from contract with customers”, respectively. The one-time losses were adjusted in the retained earnings of the respective financial years in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. However, the assessing officer has allowed alternate claim as per erstwhile Ind AS 7 "Construction Contracts”, read with "Guidance Note on Recognition of revenue by Real Estate Transactions” issued by ICAI, followed by the Company till the year ended 31 March 2016, for assessment year 2017-18 and assessment year 2019-20 to avoid double taxation of already assessed income, but have not allowed alternative claims filed for assessment year 2018-19, assessment year 2020-21 and assessment year 2021-22, consequential to disallowance of one-time losses in assessment year 2017-18 and 2019-20. During the year, a demand of ' 42,774.31 lakhs for assessment year 2021-22 has been created as setting off of business loss amounting to ' 117,967.00 lakhs of assessment year 2017-18 has not been allowed by assessing officer. The Company has preferred appeals against the orders of the assessing officer which are pending with CIT (A)/ NFAC.

Further, the management has evaluated the impact of the matter and believes that there will be no tax impact arising out of this, considering alternative claims are allowed by the assessing officer/ appellate authorities based on the fundamental law of taxation that the same income cannot be taxed twice. However, there may be an impact of ' 20,000.00 lakhs approximately on the carrying value of deferred tax asset due to non-adjustment of certain capital losses.

Based on legal opinion obtained from tax experts, management is confident that it has a strong likelihood of succeeding in the matter and therefore, no adjustments are required in the standalone financial statements of the Company.

2) Other than matters mentioned at point no. 1 above, the Income Tax Authorities have raised demands on account of various disallowances pertaining to different assessment years. The Company is contesting these demands, which are pending at various appellate levels.

DUL filed an appeal to Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission ("HERC”), wherein HERC vide order dated 11 August 2011 held that the supply of electricity by DUL was legal, however, DUL was liable to pay cross subsidy surcharge. Aggrieved by the said order, DUL filed an appeal before Appellate Tribunal of Electricity ("APTEL’) against the levy of cross subsidy surcharge. APTEL held that the supply of electricity for commercial establishments from the main receiving panel was not in accordance with law and must be discontinued.

Further, APTEL also held that the DUL was liable to pay the cross-subsidy surcharge and accordingly, a demand of ' 3,328.00 lakhs was received by DUL from DHBVN against the same.

c) i) The Securities and Exchange Board of India ('SEBI') vide order dated 10 October 2014 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. This Order was passed pursuant to a Show Cause Notice (SCN) dated 25 June 2013 which inter alia alleged that the Offer Documents issued by the Company at the time of its initial public offer in the year 2007 suffered from material non-disclosures and misstatements.

The Company and the said Directors filed appeals before the SEBI Appellate Tribunal ("SAT"). SAT, by majority order dated 13 March 2015, allowed the appeals on the ground that there was nothing that suggested that the investors were prejudiced due to non-disclosure of information by DLF in its offer document, or that such non-disclosure resulted in any benefit to DLF or its Directors in violation of the Erstwhile DIP Guidelines.

SEBI filed an appeal with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, which stand admitted vide order dated 24 April 2015 without granting any interim stay in favour of SEBI.

In February 2015, SEBI, in similar matters, imposed penalties upon Company, some of its directors/ officers and its three subsidiaries and their directors. The Company approached the SAT which held that the SEBI order cannot be sustained. In October 2015, SEBI filed applications before the Hon'ble Supreme 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 Supreme Court on 04 November 2015 and the Hon'ble Supreme Court did not pass any orders restraining the Transaction and simply directed that the said applications be listed along with the appeal. The matter is pending and to be listed in due course.

ii) SEBI issued a SCN dated 28 August 2013 under Sections 15HA and 15HB of the SEBI Act and under Rule 4 of the SEBI (Procedure for Holding Inquiry and Imposing Penalties by Adjudicating Officer) Rules,1995 ('Adjudication Rules') making allegations similar to the SCN dated 25 June 2013. The Company filed its Reply to the same opposing the allegations made against it. Similar SCNs were also issued to three subsidiaries, their directors and certain other entities.

By way of order dated 26 February 2015, the Adjudicating Officer, SEBI imposed monetary penalties upon Company, some of its Officers/ Directors, its three subsidiaries and their Directors under Section 15HA and under Section 15HB of the SEBI Act.

The Company and other parties aggrieved by the aforesaid order filed appeals before the Hon'ble SAT against the aforesaid order dated 26 February 2015. When these appeals were listed before Hon'ble SAT on 15 April 2015, SEBI's counsel under instructions stated that during the pendency of the said appeals, the Order dated 26 February 2015 would not be enforced. The Hon'ble SAT vide its order passed on 25 April 2018 held that in view of Hon'ble SAT's majority decision dated 13 March 2015, the SEBI Order dated 26 February 2015 cannot be sustained.

Accordingly, the Hon'ble SAT disposed off the appeals with a direction that these appeals, shall stand automatically revived once the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India disposes of the civil appeals filed by SEBI against the Hon'ble SAT's judgment dated 13 March 2015.

Based on the advice of the independent legal counsels and grounds of appeal, the management has assessed that there is a strong likelihood of succeeding before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. Pending the final decisions on the above matter, no adjustment has been made in these standalone financial statements.

d) During the previous year, one of the joint venture company, Joyous Housing Limited (JHL) had defaulted in meeting its debt obligation to a housing finance company (HFC or lender). The lender amongst various actions to recover its dues, initiated e-auction of the project, served notices to initiate legal proceedings for alleged contravention related to the loan agreement against JHL, its directors and shareholders. Further, the lender has also initiated the process to take control of the board of JHL and offered the pledged shares to all the three shareholders. In this regard, the Company has submitted a formal expression of interest to purchase 100% shares of JHL for a consideration above the reserve price at which the lender has offered the shares to ensure repayment of the dues to the lender and other financial creditors of JHL.

However, one of the shareholders has filed a petition opposing the actions taken by the other shareholders at the instructions of the lender before National Company Law Tribunal, NCLT, Mumbai. Subsequently, NCLT has passed a status quo order with regard to such actions. Further, the Company has also initiated arbitration proceedings.

Based on the legal advice, management believes that there is 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 was recognised against such investment/ loan in earlier years which was disclosed under "Exceptional Items”, refer note 33. The management considers such provision to be adequate and the net carrying value amounting to ' 18,036.37 lakhs is considered good for recovery, as the project has adequate inherent value, once it is litigation free.

9 ii) a) The petitions were filed before the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the action of the Haryana Government to acquire the land belonging to Gram Panchayat of village Wazirabad, District Gurugram for public purpose and thereafter selling the same to the Company, seeking directions from the court for quashing of the acquisition proceedings under Sections 4 and 6 dated 8 August 2003 and 20 January 2004.

The petitioners therein also sought quashing of the award dated 19 January 2006 and the Regular letter of allotment (RLA) dated 9 February 2010 issued in favour of the Company for 350.715 acres of land. The Company has paid ' 99,969.26 lakhs to Government towards purchase of this land out of total consideration of ' 182,437.49 lakhs.

The Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court, vide its final order dated 3 September 2014, while upholding the acquisition of land has however disapproved the allotment in favour of the Company. The Hon'ble High Court passed an order to keep the RLA dated 9 February 2010 issued in favour of the Company in abeyance and further directed the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation ('HSIIDC') to initiate fresh allotment process for higher returns in respect of the land in question with an option to State to revive the RLA in case no better bid is quoted by the public at large.

The Company has filed a Special Leave Petition before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India challenging the judgment dated 3 September 2014 passed by the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India issued notice to the respondents and directed status quo to be maintained by the parties.

Based on the advice of the independent legal counsels and grounds of appeal, the management has assessed that there is a strong likelihood of succeeding before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. Pending the final decisions on the above matter, no adjustment has been made in these standalone financial statements.

b) The Company has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) against the order dated 2 December 2016 passed by the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court in Writ Petition No.12210 of 2013 challenging the findings and directions passed by the Hon'ble High Court requiring DLF to allocate additional land measuring 10.6 Acres for DLF Park Place complex. DLF has taken the ground that after having rejected the contentions of the association on the claim of extra land based on FAR and PPA norms, the Hon'ble High Court could not have passed the order for allocation of additional land based on the representations made in the Brochure. The Company has further raised the ground that Hon'ble High Court has given a complete go by to the terms and conditions of the binding agreement where it was specifically provided the area of Park Place as 12.67 acres, granted leave in the Special Leave Petition.
