Currently, the Company does not separately track provisions and adjustments, in each case to the extent relating to prior years for chargebacks. However, the adjustments are expected to be non-material. The volumes used to calculate the closing balance of chargebacks represent approximately 1.0 to 1.4 months equivalent of sales, which corresponds to the pending chargeback claims yet to be processed.
**
Currently, the Company does not separately track the credits and payments, in each case to the extent relating to prior years for chargebacks, rebates, Medicaid payments or refund liability.
 
(1)
Chargebacks provisions and payments for the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 were each lower as compared to the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of reduction in the invoice price to wholesalers for few of the Company’s major products. This was offset to some extent due to higher pricing rates per unit on chargebacks, on account of reductions in the contract prices through which the product is resold in the retail part of the supply chain for certain of the Company’s products.
 
 
 
(2)
The Company’s overall provision for refund liability as of March 31, 2026 relating to the Company’s North America Generics business was U.S.$47, compared to a liability of U.S.$42 as of March 31, 2025. The refund liability created for new product launches and volume growth, were off-set by the reductions in the contract prices and by product mix changes.
 
The estimates of “gross-to-net” adjustments for the Company’s operations in India and other countries outside of the United States relate mainly to refund liability in all such operations, and certain rebates to healthcare insurance providers are specific to the Company’s German operations. The pattern of such refund liability is generally consistent with the Company’s gross sales. In Germany, the rebates to healthcare insurance providers mentioned above are contractually fixed in nature and do not involve significant estimations by the Company.

Contract asset:
 
As mentioned in the accounting policies for refund liability set forth in Note 3
(
m
)
 of these consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes an asset (i.e., the right to the returned goods), for the products expected to be returned. The Company initially measures this asset at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods, including any potential decreases in the value of the returned goods. Along with re-measuring the refund liability at the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the measurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to its expected level of returns, as well as any additional decreases in the value of the returned products.
 
As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had Rs.64 and Rs.51, respectively, as contract assets representing the right to returned goods.
