In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (Ind AS) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, the Profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We had 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 Standalone 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 audit opinion.
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS We draw your attention to: a) Note No. 47 of the standalone financial statements, which describes a significant transaction undertaken during the year in pursuant to a Composite Scheme of Arrangement involving the Company and its group entities. The said Scheme was approved by the Board of Directors of the Holding Company Career Point Limited, in its meeting held on 14th February 2023 and was subsequently sanctioned by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, through its final order dated 23rd September 2024, passed under Sections 230 to 232, read with Section 66 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, in Company Petition CP (CAA) No. 9/CHD/PB/2024. The Scheme provided for the demerger of the education business undertaking (Demerged Undertaking) from Career Point Limited (the Demerged Company) into Career Point Edutech Limited (the Resulting Company i.e. the reporting entity), and the amalgamation of Srajan Capital Limited, a wholly owned NBFC subsidiary, with Career Point Limited (the Transferee Company). The Appointed Date for giving effect to the Scheme was determined as 1st April 2023, and the Scheme became effective upon filing of the NCLT order with the respective Registrars of Companies.
The Company has accounted for the impact of the Scheme in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 103 Business Combinations, read with Appendix C, which deals with common control transactions. Accordingly, the pooling of interests method has been applied. Under this method, the assets and liabilities transferred to the Company from the Demerged Undertaking have been recorded at their respective historical carrying values as appearing in the books of the Demerged Company, without any adjustments to reflect fair values or to recognize goodwill. Further, since the transaction qualifies as a business combination under common control, the standalone financial statements of the Company have been restated retrospectively as if the demerger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Consequently, the financial results for the year ended 31st March 2024 have been restated to give effect to the demerger from 1st April 2023, the Appointed Date.
The NCLT, in its detailed order, confirmed that all necessary procedural and statutory requirements had been duly complied with, including service of notices to key regulatory authorities such as the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Regional Director (RD), Official Liquidator (OL), Income Tax Department, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), National Stock Exchange (NSE), and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Notably, no adverse observations were received from any of the statutory authorities, and the shareholders of the Demerged Company approved the Scheme with a voting approval of over 99.99% in favour. The NCLT observed that the Scheme is in compliance with applicable legal requirements and is not prejudicial to the interests of creditors, shareholders, or the public at large. The order further provided that all benefits, liabilities, contracts, proceedings, and employees pertaining to the Demerged Undertaking stand transferred to and vest in the Resulting Company, with effect from the Appointed Date, on a going concern basis.
Further, for the purpose of giving effect to the Scheme in the standalone financial statements, the Company has accounted for the assets and liabilities of the Demerged Undertaking based on the carrying amounts as provided by the management of the Holding Company as on the Appointed Date. Our audit was limited to the accounting and presentation of such balances as per the Scheme. We have not independently verified the underlying books or records of the Demerged Undertaking and have relied on the managements representations and information for the carrying values of the assets and liabilities transferred. b) We draw attention to Note No. 31 of the standalone financial statements, which pertains to the ongoing arbitration proceedings between the Company and Rajasthan Skill and Livelihoods Development Corporation (RSLDC) regarding the DDU-GKY project. The dispute originated from the invocation of a bank guarantee of Rs. 54.22 lakhs and a demand of Rs. 334.76 lakhs raised by RSLDC upon termination of the project. The Company, having received Rs. 216.90 lakhs as the first instalment and having incurred Rs. 371.75 lakhs, challenged the invocation and the demand through proceedings under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Pursuant to the order dated 17 March 2025, the Honble Arbitrator ruled partly in favour of the Company by quashing the said recovery notice and awarding (i) Rs. 54.22 lakhs against the bank guarantee, (ii) Rs. 100 lakhs towards investment, and (iii) Rs. 8 lakhs towards litigation costs, along with simple interest at 9.25% p.a. from the date of award if unpaid within 30 days. Management, based on legal advice and facts of the case, continues to consider the receivable of Rs. 213.41 lakhs as fully recoverable.
These matter are adequately disclosed in the accompanying standalone financial statements.
Therefore our opinion is not modified in respect to above matters.
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 as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1. Business Combination Under Common Control Demerger of Education Undertaking
[Refer to Note 47 to the Standalone Financial Statements]
Pursuant to the Order dated September 23, 2024, passed by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, a Composite Scheme of Arrangement was approved involving the demerger of the education business undertaking (Demerged Undertaking) from Career Point Limited (the Demerged Company) into its wholly owned subsidiary, Career Point Edutech Limited (the Resulting Company and reporting entity). The Appointed Date for giving effect to the Scheme was fixed as April 1, 2023.
As a result of the demerger, the Company accounted for the transaction as a common control business combination in accordance with Appendix C of Ind AS 103 Business Combinations, which governs accounting for transactions under common control. The pooling of interests method was applied to account for the transaction. The transaction required the retrospective restatement of the Companys financial statements from the appointed date, April 1, 2023, to reflect the effect of the demerger, including the recognition of assets, liabilities, and reserves pertaining to the Demerged Undertaking. Furthermore, the Company has allotted 1,81,92,939 fully paid-up equity shares to the eligible shareholders of the Demerged Company in accordance with the Scheme, resulting in the recognition of negative capital reserve of 253.45 Lakhs directly in Other Equity.
Given the magnitude of the restructuring, the retrospective restatement, and the complex application of Ind AS 103, this matter has been identified as a Key Audit Matter due to its complexity and the judgment involved in applying the appropriate accounting treatment. Our audit procedures involved evaluating the Companys compliance with the Scheme and the related accounting standard, and verifying the accuracy of the accounting treatment adopted.
Audit Procedures Performed:
1. We obtained an understanding from management and assessed the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls implemented by the Company relating to the accounting and recognition of the business combination arising out of the demerger approved under the Composite Scheme of Arrangement.
2. We reviewed the NCLT Order dated September 23, 2024, and traced the accounting treatment of the demerger in the standalone financial statements of Career Point Edutech Limited. We ensured compliance with the terms of the Scheme and Ind AS 103, including Appendix C, which governs transactions under common control.
3. We verified the transfer and recognition of assets, liabilities, and reserves pertaining to the education business undertaking by comparing them with the underlying books of account, audited financial statements, and the trial balances of the Demerged Undertaking as of the appointed date (April 1, 2023).
4. We recomputed and independently verified the merger entries recorded under the pooling of interests method, including the restatement of comparative figures for FY 2023 24. We confirmed that the assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical carrying values without any revaluation or recognition of goodwill.
5. We reviewed managements computation of any adjustments made directly in equity, including the amount credited to capital reserve, and validated the consistency of the treatment with Ind AS 103, Appendix C.
6. We evaluated the Companys judgment that the transaction qualifies as a business combination under common control and concluded that the accounting treatment adopted is appropriate based on the control structure and substance of the transaction.
7. We assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in Note 47 of the standalone financial statements, including those related to the impact on the current and comparative period financial results, the accounting policy adopted, and the components transferred under the Scheme.
Conclusion:
Based on the audit procedures performed, we conclude that the accounting for the demerger of the education business undertaking from Career Point Limited into Career Point Edutech Limited has been appropriately carried out in accordance with Appendix C of Ind AS 103 Business Combinations. The financial statements reflect the demergers effect in a manner consistent with the Scheme approved by the NCLT, and the accounting treatment, including the application of the pooling of interests method, is in accordance with the relevant accounting standards.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITORS REPORT THEREON
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the Standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do 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 Other Information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE 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 and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and 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 Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
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 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, 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
AUDITORS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
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:- 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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.
