Disclosure of difference between the employee compensation cost using intrinsic value of stock options instead of fair value of the options and the impact of difference on profits and on EPS of the Company : ESOS 2011 and ESOS 2011 Tranche II :Since the options were granted at the market price, the intrinsic value of the option is nil. Consequently the accounting value of the option (compensation cost) was also nil. However, if fair value of the options according to Black-Scholes–Mertons Option Pricing Model was to be used for calculating the accounting value of the option, the compensation cost would have been 3.81 crores, the profit after tax would have been lesser by 3.81 crores and basic and diluted EPS would have been 33.05 & 32.94 respectively.
Weighted-average exercise prices and weighted-average fair values of options : ESOS 2011 :All the options were granted at an exercise price of 317.85 per option and hence the weighted average price is 317.85 per option. The weighted average fair value of the option (using the Black-Scholes-Mertons Option Pricing Model) works out to 51, 67 and 75 for the options vesting on February 10, 2012, February 10, 2013 and February 10, 2014 respectively.

ESOS 2011 Tranche II: All the options were granted at an exercise price of 548.80 per option and hence the weighted average price is 548.80 per option. The weighted average fair value of the option (using the Black-Scholes–Mertons Option Pricing Model) works out to 70, 101 and 116 for the options vesting on October 25, 2012, October 25, 2013 and October 25, 2014 respectively.
