Company"), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2025, the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the
year then
ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of material
accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
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 (Ind AS) and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2025, and its profits
and other comprehensive income,
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing
(SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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 ("the 1CAI") together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
thereunder, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the ICAIs Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for
our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
Attention is invited to Note No. 38 to the Standalone Financial Statements, in respect
of assessments by the
Income Tax Department and subsequent notices under of the Income Tax Act, 1961, demands
for amount
aggregating to Rs. 3,091.03 Lakhs and interest thereon is raised on the Company. The
management has filed
appeals before the Honble Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) ("CIT(A)") and
an application for stay
against the recovery of demand with the Income Tax department. Based on the expert legal
opinion obtained,
the management of the Company is of the opinion that the said demands will be set aside in
the appropriate
forum and there will be no liability.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises
the information included in the Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, but
does not include
the standalone financial statements and our Auditors Report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information
and vve 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 and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during our audit or otherwise
appears to be
materially misstated.
Other information is not made available to us at the date of this auditors report. 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 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 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
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, the 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 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 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:
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 with
reference to standalone financial statements 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.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone
linancial 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 (i) in 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 financial
controls 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.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
A companys internal financial control with reference to 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. A

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

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Reporting

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

reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the
internal financial control with
reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changed in conditions,
or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
