4
Management continues to monitor finalisation of Central/State rules on new Labour Codes and will provide additional accounting effects when clarifications are issued
Management expects recovery of certain disputed receivables (including amounts disclosed as recoverable from legal matters) and is pursuing appeals/refunds e.g., CCI deposit of ₹630.00 Cr under protest
The Group will continue to pursue applications for compensation and interest for acquired land parcels following a favourable High Court order; related interest of ₹140.11 Cr was recognised in the quarter
Company is proceeding with filings post NCLT order for amalgamation of multiple subsidiaries into DLF and expects no material impact on consolidated results
Risks & Concerns
6
Material legal contingencies remain
CCI penalty appeal involves a deposit of ₹630.00 Cr shown as recoverable and outcome is pending at Hon'ble Supreme Court
SEBI-related appeals and potential revived penalties across the Group remain pending before Hon'ble Supreme Court and SAT which could affect future cash/outflows
Two IT SEZ/IT Park Project judgments cancelling sale deeds are stayed by the Supreme Court but remain uncertain which could affect inventory/asset rights
Exceptional items and one-offs (labour code impact ₹60.15 Cr and prior impairment reversals) make quarter-to-quarter comparability dependent on non-recurring items
Recovery of trade receivables (e.g., subsidiary claim against Coal India of ₹259.68 Cr and other similar cases) remains sub-judice and timing of cash recovery is uncertain
Reliance on judicial outcomes and appeal processes (multiple matters pending at Supreme Court/SAT/NCLT) adds outcome risk despite management legal counsel confidence
