The Companys annua-report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

6. Our opinion on the standalone financia-statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

7. In connection with our audit of the standalone financia-statements, 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 financia-statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

8. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a materia-misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management Responsibilities for the Standalone Financia-Statements

9. The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act 2013, with respect to the preparation of these standalone financia-statements that give a true and fair view of the financia-position and financia-performance, and the cash flow of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian 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 safe guarding 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 interna-financia-controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financia-statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materia-misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

10. In preparing the standalone financia-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.

11. Those Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company financia-reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financia-Statements

12. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financia-statements as a whole are free from materia-misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high leve-of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs wil-always detect a materia-misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materia-if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financia-statements.

13. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professiona-judgement and maintain professiona-scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

-Identify and assess the risks of materia-misstatement of the standalone financia-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 materia-misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentiona-omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of interna-control.

-Obtain an understanding of interna-controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate interna-financia-controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

-Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

-Conclude on the appropriateness of managements use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materia-uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materia-uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the standalone financia-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.

-Evaluate the overal-presentation, structure and content of the standalone financia-statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financia-statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

14. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financia-statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financia-statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financia-statements.

15. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings that we identify during our audit.

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

Report on the Interna-Financia-Controls under Para (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

1. We have audited the interna-financia-controls over financia-reporting of M/s. Systematix Corporate Services Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financia-statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managements and Board of Directors Responsibility for Interna-Financia-Controls

2. The Companys management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining interna-financia-controls based on the interna-contro-over financia-reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essentia-components of interna-contro-stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Interna-Financia-Controls over Financia-Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate interna-financia-controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective 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 financia-information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the interna-financia-controls over financia-reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Interna-Financia-Controls Over Financia-Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of interna-financia-controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethica-requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate interna-financia-controls over financia-reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in al-materia-respects.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the interna-financia-controls system over financia-reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of interna-financia-controls over financia-reporting included obtaining an understanding of interna-financia-controls over financia-reporting, assessing the risk that a materia-weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of interna-contro-based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of materia-misstatement of the financia-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 interna-financia-controls system over financia-reporting of the Company.

Meaning of Interna-Financia-Controls Over Financia-Reporting

6. A companys interna-financia-contro-over financia-reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financia-reporting and the preparation of financia-statements for externa-purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys interna-financia-contro-over financia-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 financia-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 materia-effect on the financia-statements.

Inherent Limitations of Interna-Financia-Controls Over Financia-Reporting

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

Opinion

8. In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in al-materia-respects, an adequate interna-financia-controls system over financia-reporting and such interna-financia-controls over financia-reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the interna-contro-over financia-reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essentia-components of interna-contro-stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Interna-Financia-Controls Over Financia-Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
