The year 2020 has been a

challenging year for the entire
world. Little did we know how
the year would unfold. The year
has created significant changes
in how we all live, how we all
work and most importantly it has
given a profound importance to
the word ‘healthcare’.
The prevailing scenario did call for changes, but
something that did not change was our passion
to deliver the best and the commitment to put our
patients’ interests first. The year gone by tested
the adaptability and resilience of our people. It
has enabled the organisation to continue caring
for its patients with compassion and in a safe
environment.
Our this year’s annual report highlights our
corporate values and humble efforts that led to
an increasing maturity of our engagement with
our stakeholders and community. It is a reflection
of how we continued to inspire trust through
quality and care.

Dear Shareholders,
At the outset, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all our clinicians, healthcare and administrative members
of the Fortis fraternity for their tireless efforts and unceasing commitment in treating patients infected by the novel
coronavirus. Working collaboratively with the Central and State Governments, Fortis ensured full compliance with
all institutional guidelines, prioritising, and maintaining patient safety, as protocols for management of patient care
and hospital operations evolved continuously throughout the past year. In the last one year, over 33,000 COVID-19
patients were successfully treated and discharged, over 1.18 lakh patients were treated at the flu clinics/OPDs, and
approx 2.5 million COVID-19 molecular and serology tests were conducted by our partner, SRL Diagnostics. At the peak
of this pandemic, the Company reserved 1,600 beds (40% of beds available) for COVID-19 patients. Currently, 23
Fortis hospitals are closely partnering with the Government in the vaccination drive across the country. The remarkable
leadership, vision and foresight of our Medical Council (our governance body overseeing clinical practices), has ensured
that the best-in-class protocols are in place, leading to desired outcomes.

Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present your Company’s performance for FY 2020-21. The year has been unprecedented, especially
for the healthcare sector across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic has surpassed any healthcare crisis we have ever
witnessed. While the significant loss of lives is very unfortunate, we also had numerous recovered patients walking
out of our hospitals. The year tested our ability to deliver quality healthcare and compassionate care under duress. The
grit and never-give-up attitude of our clinicians and staff through the crisis-ridden year has not gone unnoticed by the
community we serve and has resulted in an exponential increase in the trust we have earned, which is perhaps our
greatest gain.

In tandem with the Government authorities, your Company took many steps to efficiently handle the crisis. Over 1,600
beds were allocated across our network for COVID-19 patients. Flu Clinics and Flu Kiosks were launched, and 1,12,000
Tele and Video Consults were conducted, which is one of the highest in the country. Home healthcare packages were

DIGITAL PATHOLOGY
We launched Digital Pathology labs in Gurugram, Mumbai and Bangalore.
These labs allow our pathologists to read images remotely, enabling real-

Remote reviewing of pathological cases is also essential to prevent delay
in critical patient diagnosis and care, particularly during a crisis and our
association with Microsoft is paving the way to this transformation further.
In FY 20-21, SRL initiated the second phase of AI solution development
engagement with Microsoft. While the Phase 1 focused on AI models in
Cytology and yielded an algorithm for screening of liquid based cytology

To ensure continuous upskilling and learning in times of physical distancing,

we pivoted to digital capability building for the entire organisation. Leveraging
various digital learning platforms curated and contextualised digital solutions,
virtual/online training programs addressing the emerging skill requirements
such as working remotely, tele sales, handling call during COVID-19, enhancing
productivity and professional skills were deployed.

Training cycle of service imparting requisite service skills and enhanced

awareness of employee role in improving customer journey/experience to
support higher customer satisfaction and customer loyalty was introduced.

REGULAR COMMUNICATION
This remained the most critical aspect with unified flow of information on
critical aspects proactively and in as much details as were suitable to ensure
flawless/error free implementation of various protocols. Fighting another
battle with fake news and rumour mongers became quite a challenge. Teams
remained extremely attentive to weed out any unwarranted information
which was not verified from the source itself. Digitised communication/
collaboration platform – MS Teams was made available with extensive training
on features and workflows. This indeed became a life saviour in more than
one manner.

COST OPTIMISATION
A very rigorous activity was undertaken by the management on costs which
could be contained. HR led a voluntary salary reduction scheme which was
subscribed by senior members of all employee groups especially clinicians and
senior executives.

While these COVID-19 specific fronts were being managed, the regular
activities continued to go in a bit scaled down manner. Hiring of critical
resources, working on ongoing critical projects like Project Fusion, Manpower
norms, productivity benchmarks, HR functional audit, Wage code impact
analysis were some of the key things undertaken during last year. To strengthen
culture of performance, Balance Score Card framework has been deployed
across units, translating in better integration of qualitative aspects in addition
to financial parameters as organisation strategic intent.

The situation started to look up effective till December 2020. However a

second wave seems to be building up. Our guards are up and we remain
unfettered.

prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to
standalone financial statements were established and maintained and whether such controls operated effectively in all material
respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with
reference to standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference
to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a
material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements.

statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial
statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with
reference to consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with
reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference
to consolidated financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of the internal controls based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditor of a joint venture company

to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements.

The Group’s goodwill is tested for impairment annually at the year-end or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired.
The Group made an assessment of recoverable amount of the CGUs based on value-in-use calculations which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets
approved by management except for Birdie & Birdie Realtors Private Limited and Fortis Heathcare International Limited, where the valuation has been determined based
on the fair value of net assets.
Cash flow projections were developed covering seven year period as at March 31, 2021 (As at March 31, 2020 seven to ten year) which reflects a more appropriate
indication/trend of future track of business of the Group. Cash flows beyond the seven/ten-year period were extrapolated using estimate rates stated below.
The key assumptions for the value-in-use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during
the year. Management estimates discount rates using post-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGUs.
The growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts. Changes in selling prices and direct costs are based on past practices and expectations of future changes in the
market.
Key assumptions used for value in use calculations are as follows:
Particulars As at As at
March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020
Compound average net sales growth rate p.a. 4% - 12% 3% - 14%
Growth rate used for extrapolation of cash flow projections p.a. 4.0% 4.0%
Discount rate 12% - 13% 12% - 13%
Management believes that any reasonable possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.
Discount rates - Management estimates discount rates using post-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the risks specific to the CGU, taking into
consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate
calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Growth rates - The growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts. Management determines the budgeted growth rates based on past performance and its
expectations of market development. The weighted average growth rates used were consistent with industry reports.

NOTES
FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd.)

40. The main object of the Company is to carry on the business of healthcare and other related activities either directly or through its
subsidiaries. During the previous year ended March 31, 2020, due to significant amount of dividend received by the Company
from a wholly owned overseas subsidiary, the Company’s ‘income from financial assets’ constituted more than 50 per cent
of the gross income for the financial year ended March 31, 2020. Further, the ‘financial assets’ of the Company were also
more than 50 per cent of its total assets as at March 31, 2020 (mainly investment and financing in wholly owned subsidiaries).
Accordingly, the Company technically met ‘Principal business’ test as per the press release by Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) vide
No. 1998-99/1269 dated April 8, 1999 for being classified as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) from April 1, 2020.
However, the significant amount of dividend in the previous year was largely on account of a one-off transaction which led
to dividend payment and the Company does not expect dividend of such a significant amount to be recurring in future. The
Board has also noted and confirmed that such dividend does not represent income from ordinary activities of the Company and
that the Company does not intend to carry on the business as an NBFC. The Company has made a representation to the RBI in
November 2019 that while the Company technically would meet the Principal Business Test due to this significant dividend on
account of the one-off transaction, it does not, and does not intend to, carry on the business as an NBFC and hence keeping
in view the objective behind the test, its registration as a NBFC should not be required. As per the RBI’s ‘Master Direction- Non-
Banking Financial Companies Auditor’s Report (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016’, on the issue of NBFC registration, the statutory
auditor is to examine whether the company has obtained a Certificate of Registration from the RBI when the “company is
engaged in the business of nonbanking financial institution as defined in section 45-I(a) of the RBI Act and meeting the Principal
Business Criteria (Financial Asset/ income pattern)” Subsequent to the completion of audit of the financial statements of the
Company for the year ended March 31, 2020, the statutory auditor of the Company has also intimated the RBI regarding the
Company technically meeting the Principal Business Test and regarding the above referred representation by the company
to the RBI which inter alia stated that the Company is primarily engaged in the healthcare business, and that the Company
has represented to the RBI that it does not presently or in future intend to undertake the business of non-banking financial
institution. Further, during the current year the Company wrote a letter to RBI with a request to confirm that no such registration
as a NBFC is required. It also requested for a meeting to give an opportunity to the Company to explain its position on the
matter. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, RBI advised the Company to submit to it the financial results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 which was duly submitted. Further, as evident from these
financial statements, the criteria for principal business test is not met as at March 31, 2021.

41. The Shareholders’ of the Company have approved the postal ballot resolution on March 14, 2021 to acquire additional 50%
stake equivalent to 2,50,000 equity shares in ‘DDRC SRL Diagnostics Private Limited’ (DDRC SRL) by SRL Limited, a material
subsidiary, for a cash consideration of ` 35,000.00 Lakhs.  Subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2021, the said transaction
was consummated on April 5, 2021. The acquisition has been made by SRL Limited which is in the same line of business as that
of entity being acquired. Post this acquisition DDRC SRL shall be 100% subsidiary of SRL Limited.
