EMPHASIS OF MATTERS
1. We draw attention to the Note 43 to the Standalone Financial Statements which describes Companys investment of Rs. 20,000 Lakhs (face value) in secured non-convertible debentures issued by IL&FS Transportation Networks Ltd (ITNL) (subsidiary of Infrastructure Leasing & Finance Ltd ILFS), whereas, the ITNL has defaulted in repayment of interest. During the resolution process, Honble NCLAT has approved the Revised Distribution Framework proposed by the New Board for interim distribution. The Company without prejudice to its rights had impaired the investment for the expected credit loss by Rs.11,636.55 lakhs till 31 March, 2023 and has written off above-mentioned amounts in respective years.
2. We draw attention to Note 44 to the Standalone Financial Statements which describes Companys investment of Rs. 30,000 Lakhs (face value) in 9% Yes Bank Perpetual Additional Tier I (AT-1) bonds. The honble Bombay High Court has quashed and set aside the letter dated 14 March, 2020 issued by the Administrator, Yes Bank and decision to write off Additional Tier 1 bonds. On the request of the Yes Bank Counsel the honble Bombay High Court has stayed this order for period of six weeks. Yes Bank and RBI challenged the Bombay High Courts order before the Supreme Court and accordingly stay was extended subject to the final order passed by the Supreme Court. It describes the uncertainty related to the current outcome of the above-mentioned order.
Our opinion is not modified in respect these matters of emphasis.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements taken as a whole; in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Apart from Basis for qualified opinion we have determined the key audit matters as described below:
A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments
B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customer
C. Contingent liabilities
A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments
Description of key audit matter
The Company has investments net of provision of Rs. 75,158.58 Lakhs as at 31 March, 2024 consisting of investments in the equity instruments of subsidiaries, third party bonds, mutual funds, other equity instruments etc. and are valued as per Ind AS 109, "Financial instruments". By their nature, these are subjected to various factors related to respective investee entities including but not limited to, economic factors, business dynamics, financial performance etc. and impact a fair valuation of these investments. Accordingly, this necessitates a close monitoring by the management of these situations and judgement, based on appropriate evaluation criteria to arrive at a fair value of carrying amounts of these assets as at balance sheet date. Against this background, this matter was of significance in the context of our audit.
Description of Auditor response
We have carried out a comparison between carrying value of investment as at balance sheet date and net worth as reflected by latest audited financials of investee companies. Wherever carrying amount of investment is more than the net-worth of investee Company we have discussed and enquired with the management the process followed by them to identify permanent diminution, if any, in the value of investment and necessary accounting treatment adopted in the books. In addition, management has provided us with the future business plans, wherever necessary and how in their business judgement such gap between investment and net-worth of the investee is either compensated with improving business conditions or valuations of such entities. Going forward our regular audit procedures are designed to keep a follow up on outcomes of these management assertions.
B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customer
Description of key audit matter
Revenue amounting to Rs. 45,526.88 Lakhs reported in the Companys financial statements pertains to customer specific contracts and the same are required to satisfy the recognition and measurement criteria as prescribed in IND AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Companys revenue is bifurcated into two main parts (a) revenue from software products (IPR based licenses) and (b) revenue from software services. Certain contracts necessarily involve estimations and certain assumptions to be made by the management in determining the quantum of revenue to be recognised in specific period. This inherently creates certain uncertainties and results in complexities in accounting treatment wherein incorrect assumptions and estimates can lead to revenue being recognised in incorrect accounting periods thereby impacting the results. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.
Description of Auditors response
With a view to verify the reasonableness of the revenue accounting we carried out following procedures:
a) Understanding the internal control environment for revenue recognition and to test check with a view to verify its operating effectiveness;
b) Major contracts were read and analysed to verify correctness of accounting of revenue as calculated by the Companys Management;
c) Discussed with the management process of identification of variable consideration and verified the working on test basis;
d) Verified the working of unbilled revenue and unearned revenue on test basis;
e) Performed analytical procedures and obtained reasons for major variances;
f) Ensured that revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting policy of the Company and Ind AS 115;
C. Contingent liabilities
Description of key audit matter
Contingent liabilities as at 31 March, 2024 amounted to Rs. 23,568.96 Lakhs, which mainly include pending income-tax matters and certain legal cases other than those forming basis for our qualified opinion. Contentious income tax matters relate to interpretational differences between the Company and various tax authorities, certain matters subjected to internal circulars and guidelines within tax authorities irrespective of stated legal provisions sometimes requiring decision making only by higher tax authorities through appellate procedures resulting in delays in outcome. Given the current legal and operational embargo that the Company is facing, it is subjected the multiple litigations by and on the Company sub-judice at various courts and levels requiring the Companys Management to exercise significant judgement on these outcomes to determine the liabilities that are contingent in nature. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit, this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.
Description of Auditors response
With a view to ensure that disclosures made by the Company in Note 33 to the Standalone Financial Statements, are determined appropriately and prudently, we obtained information of pending income-tax matters from the Company and have obtained/verified the documents including the communication with the departments provided by the Company. In addition, we have carried out comparison with respect to previous year and obtained/reviewed documentation for additional tax matters arisen during the year.
Our tax team has carried out discussions with the Companys internal tax team on these cases mainly with respect to issues raised by various tax authorities in their communication to the Company to substantiate Companys assessment that there are no present obligations perceived. With respect to legal cases disclosed to us, we have obtained updates on pending cases from the management and discussed it with the Companys internal legal department, wherever necessary. We carried out a comparison between the latest status and immediate previous status. While comparing, we have tried to ascertain the appropriateness, without being judgemental, of the management judgement exercised in updating to the latest status and have tried to evaluate an impact on such ascertainment of whether the Company liabilities to which it is contingently liable are appropriately ascertained with prudence principle.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITORS REPORT THEREON HEREINAFTER REFERRED AS "OTHER INFORMATION"
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors Report including any annexures thereto, Corporate Governance Report and Management Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditors report thereon.
These reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial 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 Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read these reports, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and describe actions applicable as per applicable laws and regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of 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, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. 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 Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Companys Management and Board of Directors are 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 and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
AUDITORS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Act, 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 related disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Directors 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 standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
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. 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone 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 matter 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 benefits of such communication.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
Referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under the heading, "Report on other legal and regulatory requirements" of our report on even date:
REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS UNDER CLAUSE OF SUB SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 "THE ACT"

AUDITORS RESPONSIBILITY
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 and the SAs issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those SAs 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.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 auditors judgment, 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 Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
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 Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Financial Statements.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
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.
