We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
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 year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the AuditorRs.s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
1. Intangible Assets | Our procedures included, but were not limited to, the following: |
Refer to Note 3.c. and Note 17 to the standalone financial statements | Evaluating the Companys accounting policy in relation to the capitalisation of internally generated intangible assets and assessing its compliance with applicable accounting standards. |
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company capitalised Rs. 290 lakhs towards internally developed technical know-how and had Rs. 313 lakhs under development as at year-end, primarily relating to software development for its proptech business. | Assessing the process and controls over the identification and capitalisation of development costs. |
We identified the recognition, measurement, and impairment assessment of these intangible assets as a key audit matter due to the inherent judgement involved in evaluating whether the costs incurred meet the recognition criteria under the applicable financial reporting framework. This includes assessment of technical feasibility, intention and ability to complete and use or sell the intangible asset, and the expected future economic benefits. | Testing a sample of capitalised costs to underlying documentation to verify whether they met the recognition criteria. |
Further, managements impairment assessment involves significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasted future cash flows and the discount rates applied in the valuation model. The value of these assets is closely linked to the performance of the underlying business initiatives, which are still evolving. Given the level of judgement and estimation uncertainty involved, this area was considered a key focus in our audit. | Inquiring with project teams and reviewing documentation to assess the stage of development and technical feasibility of the projects. |
Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in the standalone financial statements. |
2. Investments | Our procedures included, but were not limited to, the following: |
Refer to Note 4.a.1 of the standalone financial statements | Assessed the Companys accounting policy and internal controls over the valuation of investments. |
As at March 31, 2025, the Company holds investments amounting to Rs.26,120 lakhs classified under non- current financial assets. These include investments in equity instruments of subsidiaries and other equity instruments, which are measured in accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, at fair value through profit or loss or other comprehensive income, as applicable. | Verified the fair value of quoted investments using observable market data as at March 31, 2025. |
The fair valuation of these investments involves significant judgement, particularly for unquoted and illiquid equity instruments. Such judgements include, but are not limited to, assumptions surrounding the f i nancial condi tion and performanceof investeeentities, business outlook, external economic environment, industry-specific dynamics, and the appropriateness of valuation techniques applied. These assumptions have a direct impact on the reported carrying amounts of investments and may have a material effect on the Companys financial position and results. Given the degree of estimation and subjectivity involved, we considered this to be a key audit matter. | For unquoted investments: |
o Obtained and reviewed the valuation reports prepared by management or external valuers. | |
o Evaluated the valuation methodology and key assumptions such as projected cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. | |
o Involved our valuation specialists to assess the appropriateness of the valuation techniques and key inputs. | |
Assessed the independence, competence, and objectivity of external valuers, where engaged. | |
Evaluated the adequacy and appropriateness of the related disclosures in the financial statements. |
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITORRs.S REPORT THEREON
The CompanyRs.s Management and Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the Standalone financial statements and our auditorRs.s report thereon. The Holding CompanyRs.s Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorRs.s 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 of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such 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 the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The CompanyRs.s 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, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 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, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the CompanyRs.s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 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 is also responsible for overseeing the CompanyRs.s financial reporting process.
AUDITORRs.S 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 auditorRs.s 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:
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.
Obtain an understanding of internal financial 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 internal financial 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 the Management and Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management Rs.s 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 CompanyRs.s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorRs.s 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 auditorRs.s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorRs.s 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.

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS WITH REFERENCE TO STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
A companyRs.s internal financial control with reference to standalone Financial Statements 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.

our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that any material uncertainty exists as on the date of the audit report that the Company is not capable of meeting its liabilities existing at the date of balance sheet as and when they fall due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date. We, however, state that this is not an assurance as to the future viability of the Company.
