No group companies exist; no material litigation involving group companies impacting the issuer

Amounts converted from ₹ million to ₹ crore (1 crore = 10 million). Only quantified amount stated is ₹0.40 million (₹0.04 crore) in indirect tax matters against the Company. The 1 direct tax case amount is stated as 'NA'. Direct criminal proceedings against directors arise solely from Sudha Ravi's role as independent director of Alkem Laboratories Limited, not from her role with the issuer. Material civil litigations, regulatory/statutory actions, SEBI disciplinary actions and KMP/Senior Management proceedings are all Nil across relevant parties.. Outstanding means unresolved — a listed case is an exposure, not a verdict.
