Amounts converted from stated ₹ lakhs (per tax tables) or rupees. 1 crore = 100 lakh. Promoters and Directors are disclosed jointly in Section B – counts and amounts reflect combined figures (no director-only litigation). The AY 2023-24 ITAT appeal is classified in Section A(f) as an action by the Company against a statutory authority and is included in the Company's 'other' count; the Company tax table on p282-283 explicitly states 6 cases / ₹1,469.15 lakhs and excludes this ITAT case by footnote. No subsidiary-level litigation disclosed. No single grand-total amount is stated in the text. Bucket 'amount_cr' is the sum of explicitly quantified amounts across criminal, tax and other for that party; cases with 'Amount Involved: –' are excluded from the sum.. Outstanding means unresolved — a listed case is an exposure, not a verdict.
