In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified in Section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its profit, cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

2. Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

3. Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Non-receipt of audited statement of account in case of investment through PMS/Fund Managers

a. The Company has invested in shares, securities, debentures, units of mutual funds etc. through Fund Managers & Portfolio Management Service (PMS) providers. These Fund Managers/PMS entities provide statement showing investments made by them on behalf of the company, gains/losses earned/incurred on sale of such investments, expenses incurred by them including their fees for managing the portfolio and the balance of investments remaining with them at the end of the year. The Company accounts for these transactions in its books of accounts on receipt of such statements. However, in all these cases of investment through PMS/fund managers, the audited statements for the financial year are usually not received before finalisation of our audit and all the income, expenditure, gains/losses, investments are accounted for on the basis of unaudited statements provided by these PMS/fund managers to the Company available till the finalisation of our audit. On the basis of its past experience, the management of the Company is of the opinion that generally no material difference in the income, expenditure, gains/losses, investment etc. is detected after the audited statements are provided by these PMS/fund managers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Investment in debentures

b. The Company has invested in debentures of various private/public limited companies directly or through various funds managers/PMS and accounts for interest accrued and/or received on such investment in debentures from these companies/funds from time to time. However, in the case of investment in 20.50% debentures of Green Farm Tech Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs.75,00,000/-, 20% debentures of Samruddhi Realty Ltd. amounting to Rs.1,00,00,000/-, 18% debentures of Fortuna Buildcon (India) Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs.49,00,000/-, 20% debentures of Diyug Construction Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs.77,89,858/-, 17.25% debentures of Kasata Hometech (India) Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs.87,17,500/-, 15% debentures of Shashwati Realty Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs.1,50,00,000/-, and 18% debentures of BCIL Red Earth Developers India Pvt. Ltd. amounting to Rs.63,61,820/-, the interest and principal sums, wherever due, are not being received on due dates. These companies/funds managers/PMS managers have earlier informed the Company about the financial and/or liquidity crunch faced by these companies, status of their construction projects, the legal cases filed in various forums against these companies and have been updating the Company with current status of these cases, financial position and recoverability from time to time and accordingly, advised the company not to account for such interest in its books of accounts on accrual basis. Accordingly, the interest on such debentures is not being accounted for on accrual basis but is being accounted for on receipt basis. Further, having regard to the communications received/talks with these companies/fund managers/PMS managers and evaluation of the underlying assets made by the Board of Directors, wherever in the managements perception, the amounts recoverable against these investments including interest thereon are not recoverable or partly recoverable, provision to the extent required for the same has been made and wherever they are fully secured by the underlying security of immoveable properties with their estimated market values adequately covering the principal amounts as well as interest accrued & already accounted for, no provision has been made.

In the cases of BCIL Red Earth Developers India Pvt. Ltd., Fortuna Buildcon (India) Pvt. Ltd. and Samruddhi Realty Ltd., the fund managers/RPs have informed the Company about diminution in the value of the underlying assets and advised it to provide for such diminution in the value. Accordingly, the Company has made provision for principle as well as interest accrued (& accounted) in the current year as an Exceptional Item in the Profit & Loss account for the year to the extent required.

In the circumstances as aforementioned, the management has taken a conscious decision to not make a provision for any loss on recoverability of these debenture investments & interest already accounted in its books of accounts, except in respect of investments as mentioned in the above para, and has deferred the same till final realisation/decision in various legal proceedings initiated by fund managers/PMS managers for recovery of these debentures. In absence of any working for evaluation of underlying asset being produced before us other than the communications received from the fund managers/PMS managers/Companies, we are not in a position to comment on it.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following:

(i) Non-receipt of audited statement of account in case of investment through PMS/Fund Managers

(a) Obtained an understanding of managements process of recording of investments, profit/loss on sale of such investments, expenses etc. and evaluated it on the basis of earlier years audited & unaudited statements furnished by the PMS entities to check about the difference in the results that occur.

(b) Assessed the appropriateness of the methodology and corrective actions taken in subsequent years.

(c) Assessed the reasonableness & correct recording of the transactions by the PMS entities based on historical data available with the Company.

(ii) Investment in debentures

(a) Obtained an understanding of managements process & methodology of investing in debentures, evaluated the methodology adopted for assessing the realisability of the debentures & interest thereon and security available against such investment in debentures. We also tested effectiveness of such evaluation process adopted by the management to determine recoverable value of the security available.

(b) Assessed the appropriateness of the methodology and valuation model used by the management to estimate the recoverable value of securities underlying these investments.

(c) Assessed the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management regarding the value of underlying security and realisability of the same to cover the investment made by the Company.

4. Other Information

The Companys management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companys annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Companys annual report is expected to be made availalbe to us after the date of this auditors report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance

conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statement or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be material misstated.

When we read the Companys annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

5. Managements Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, (changes in equity) and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

6. Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the

audit. We also:

a. identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

b. obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

c. evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by the management.

d. conclude on the appropriateness of managements use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

e. evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

7. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

8. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

9. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matters or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest of such communication.

10. Other Matters

Our attendance at the time of physical inventory taken by the management was not practicable under the circumstances and accordingly, we have relied upon the report of the internal auditors and have performed alternative procedures to audit on the existence and condition of inventory at year end as per the guidance provided in "SA-501 - Audit Evidence - Specific considerations for selected items" and have obtained sufficient audit evidence to issue our unmodified opinion on these financial results.

In respect of matters related to Goods & Service Tax, this being a legal & technical matter, we have relied upon the working made &returns filed by the Company based on the professional advice received by it.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013("the Act")

1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ELEGANT MARBLES AND GRANI INDUSTRIES LIMITED ("the Company") as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

6. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
