 our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted. 

We have historically benefited from many policies of the Government of India and the Indian state governments in the states in which we operate which are designed to promote foreign investment generally and in our industry in particular, including significant fiscal incentives, relaxation of regulatory restrictions, liberalized import and export duties and preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation.  However, many of the fiscal policies we have benefited from in the past have lapsed or are no longer available to us, and there is no assurance that fiscal policies from which we continue to benefit will be available to us in the future.

Additionally, the Indian government has challenged our entitlement to certain benefits we have claimed in the past. During the period from 2017 to 2020, we received benefits totaling $59 million from the Director General of Foreign Trade (“DGFT”) of India pursuant to the Services Export from India Scheme (“SEIS"). These benefits were available to us in respect of our export of certain services eligible under the SEIS. However, in 2023 and 2024, the DGFT and Indian customs authorities issued us show cause notices challenging our entitlement to such benefits. We subsequently disputed these notices before the Delhi High Court and obtained interim stays temporarily preventing enforcement of the notices. In the event that it is ultimately determined that we were not eligible for the SEIS benefits we claimed, we could be liable for recovery of the amount received along with penalties and interest, which could be material.

Our provision for income taxes, actual tax expense and tax liability could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including lower income before taxes generated in countries with lower tax rates, higher income generated in countries with higher tax rates, changes in tax laws and regulations or in the interpretation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, changes in applicable income tax treaties, changes in accounting principles or interpretations thereof or in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the elimination or expiration of certain tax concessions, exemptions or holidays that had reduced our tax liability, and adverse outcomes of tax examinations or tax-related litigation, including a determination by any tax authority that our transfer prices are not
