The Company is contesting various demands for payment to the credit of the Drug Prices Equalisation Account under Drugs (Price Control) Order,<br />

1995 for few of its products, including norfloxacin. Based on its best estimate, the Company has made a provision for the potential liability related<br />

to the overcharged amount including the interest thereon and believes that the possibility of any liability that may arise on account of penalty on<br />

this demand is not probable. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in its litigation in the Supreme Court, it will be required to remit the sale<br />

proceeds in excess of the notified selling prices to the Government of India with interest and including penalties, if any, which amounts are not readily<br />

ascertainable.<br />
