Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementssection 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 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained together with the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors including the branch auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 6 of the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, and based on the consideration of the reports of the branch auditors as referred to paragraph 6 below, 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, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

5. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Sr Key Audit Matters No.	How our Audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
a. Revenue Recognition:	Our audit procedures on revenue recognized included:
The Corporation recognizes reinsurance premium income based on the statement of accounts or closing statements received from the ceding companies. At the year end, estimates are made for the accounts not received based on the Estimated Premium Income (EPI) agreed upon by both the Corporation and the Ceding Companies at the time of inception of the treaty or policy slip. Premium estimation is the differential of EPI and the booked premium for the Corporation. Estimation of Income can be considered reasonable only when the factors involved in premium estimation are extracted correctly from the IT accounting system.	• Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key controls over Revenue Recognition.
	• Verified Premium Estimation with the guidelines of the Corporation and have performed test of controls, test of details and analytical review procedures on estimation of income.
	• Verified EPI from the treaty or policy slip as the case may be and verified Actual Premium booked from Statement of Accounts or Closing statements received from the Cedants on the sample basis.
b. Claim Provisioning:	Our audit procedures on claim provisioning included:
Insurance Claim is the major area of expense for the insurance company. Total claims incurred include paid claims, Outstanding Loss Reserve (OSLR) and Claims Incurred but Not (Enough) Reported (IBNER).	• Verified guidelines of the Corporation relating to claim processing, have performed test of controls, test of details and analytical review procedures on the outstanding claims. Verified the claim paid and provision created on sample basis with payment proof and Preliminary Loss advice received from the Cedant Company and the same is further verified from the surveyors report.
The Provision and payment of claims was considered to be one of the areas which required significant auditor attention and was one of the matters of most significance in the Standalone Financial Statements as the quantum involved is significant.	• For the claim cases which has been incurred but not reported and cases in which claim has been reported but not enough reported, these cases has been captured by the actuaries appointed by the Corporation. The Actuarial valuation of liability in respect of Claims Incurred but Not Reported (IBNR) and those Incurred but Not Enough Reported (IBNER) as at March 31st 2025, is as certified by the Corporations Appointed Actuaries and we had audited the amounts and the related liability, based on such report.
c. Valuation of Investments:	Our audit procedures on Investment included the following:
The Corporations investments represent a substantial portion of the assets as of 31st March 2025, which are to be valued in accordance with accounting policy framed as per the extent of the regulatory guidelines.	• Understood Managements process and controls to ensure proper classification and valuation of Investment.
The valuation of all investments should be as per the investment policy framed by the Company which in turn should be in line with IRDAI Investment Regulations and Preparation of Financial Statement Regulations. The valuation methodology specified in the regulation is to be used for each class of investment.	• Verified and obtained appropriate external confirmations and/or Statements for availability and ownership rights related to these investments.
The Company has a policy framework for Valuation and impairment of Investments. The Company performs an impairment review of its investments periodically and recognizes impairment charge when the investments meet the trigger/s for impairment provision as per the criteria set out in the investment policy of the Company. Further, the assessment of impairment involves significant management judgment. The classification and valuation of these investments was considered one of the matters of material significance in the audit of Standalone Financial Statements due to the materiality of the total value of investments to the Standalone Financial Statements.	• Tested the design, implementation, management oversight and operating effectiveness of key controls over the classification and valuation process of investments.
	• Test-checked valuation of different class of investments to assess appropriateness of the valuation methodologies with reference to IRDAI Investment Regulations along with Companys own investment policy.
	• Reviewed the Companys impairment policy and assessed the adequacy of its impairment charge on investments outstanding at the Year end.
	• Based on procedures above, we found the companys impairment, valuation, and classification of investments in its Standalone Financial Statements in all material respects to be fair.
d. Ascertainment, disclosure and Provisions of contingent liabilities:	Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to the following:
The Company has material uncertain tax matters, both direct and indirect, under disputes involving considerable demand raised on the Company which require significant judgment to determine the possible outcome of these disputes.	• Obtained understanding of the process of identification and measurement of provisions and contingent liabilities relating to ongoing litigations implemented by the management, through various discussions held with companys legal and finance personnel.
Additionally, the Company has other ongoing legal matters relating to various claims not acknowledged as debts which require application of management judgement in order to determine the likely outcome.	• Tested the design and operating effectiveness of the controls put in place by the management in relation to assessment of the outcome of the pending litigations at various level of regulatory authorities and judicial hierarchy.
Managements disclosures with regards to provisions and contingent liabilities relating to ongoing litigation are presented in Note No. 44 to the Companys Standalone Financial Statements.	• Inspected the summary of litigation matters and discuss key developments during the year with the Companys Legal and Finance personnel.
The assessment of whether a liability is recognised as a provision or disclosed as a contingent liability in the Standalone Financial Statements is inherently subjective and requires significant management judgement in determination of the cash outflows from the business, interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and careful examination of pending assessments at various levels of regulatory authorities.	• Inspected and evaluated, where applicable, external legal and/or regulatory advice sought by the Company.
Since the amounts involved are significant and due to the range of possible outcomes leading to high estimation uncertainty that requires significant management and auditor judgement, this matter is considered to be a key audit matter for the current year audit.	• Discussed and challenged the managements assessment of the likelihood, magnitude and accounting of any liability that may arise in certain material cases. Accordingly, we reviewed the amount of provisions recognised and contingent liabilities disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements and exercised our professional judgment to assess appropriateness of such conclusions, involving experts as required.
	• Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures made in the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards.

OTHER MATTERS

6. We did not audit the financial information of three foreign branches and one domestic branch included in the Standalone Financial Statements, whose audited financial information reflect total assets (before eliminations) of Rs11,21,868 Lakhs as at 31^st March 2025 and total Premiums earned (Net) (before eliminations) of Rs2,36,391 Lakhs and Profit after Tax (before eliminations) of Rs25,733 Lakhs for the year ended on that date respectively, as considered in the Standalone Financial Statements. These financial information have been audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to us and our conclusion on the Standalone Financial Statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these branches is based solely on the report of another auditor.

7. Three branches are located outside India whose financial information have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries and which have been reviewed by other auditors or local management certified under generally accepted auditing standards applicable in their respective countries. The Corporations management has converted the financial information of such branches located outside India from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have reviewed these conversion adjustments made by the Corporations management. Our conclusion in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of such foreign branches located outside India is based on the report of another auditor/management certified accounts and the material conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Corporation reviewed by us.

8. The Standalone Financial Statements include the financial information of Dubai branch which has intimated the Run-off branch status as per the audited financial information received for the year ended 31^st March 2025. The auditors of the branch have also stated that the Branch is not looked upon as a Going Concern in the future as a Portfolio Transfer Agreement has been entered on 14^th September 2022, between GIC Gift City Branch and Dubai Branch.

9. The actuarial valuation of liabilities in respect of Incurred But Not Reported (the "IBNR") including Incurred but not Enough Reported (the "IBNER"), Premium Deficiency Reserve (the "PDR") and Technical Reserves (the "TR") is the responsibility of the Corporations Appointed Actuaries (the "Appointed Actuaries"). The actuarial valuation of these liabilities, that are estimated using statistical methods, as at 31^st March 2025 has been duly certified by the Appointed Actuaries and in their opinion, the assumptions considered by them for such valuations are in accordance with the guidelines and norms issued by the IRDAI and the Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with the IRDAI. We have relied upon the Corporations Appointed Actuaries Certificates in this regard for forming our conclusion on the valuation of liabilities for outstanding claims reserves, the PDR and TR contained in the Standalone Financial Statements of the Corporation.

10. The Standalone Financial Statements of the Corporation for the year ended 31^st March 2024 were audited by K A S G & Co. and Mehra Goel & Co., previous joint statutory auditors of the Corporation who have expressed unmodified opinion vide their audit report dated 28^th May, 2024.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

12. The accompanying Standalone Financial Statements have been approved by the Companys Board of Directors. The Corporations Board of Directors is responsible for matters as stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 and Cash flows of the Corporation in accordance with the Insurance Act 1938, as amended, by the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015 ("the Insurance Act"), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 ("the IRDAI Act"), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Actuarial, Finance and Investment Functions of Insurers) Regulations, 2024 ("Regulations"), the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") including the Accounting Standard specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

13. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the act for safeguarding of the assets of the Corporation 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 & presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

14. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Corporations to continue as 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 Corporation or to cease operations, as has no realistic alternative but to do so.

15. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Corporations financial reporting process.

AUDITORS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16. Our Objective are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, 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.

17. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatements of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud and 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, misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Corporation has in place an adequate internal financial control systems over financial reporting 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 the management use of going concern basis of accounting and, based on audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Corporations ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or condition may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of 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.

18. 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.

19. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the 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.

20. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 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.

21. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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 Standalone Financial Statements.

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. Commensurate to the size and nature of the business, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Corporations internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

6. A Corporations 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 Corporations 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 Corporation; (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 Corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Corporation; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Corporations assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

7. 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 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.

Opinion

8. In our opinion, commensurate with the size & nature of business, the Corporation has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31^st 2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Corporation considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note.

Other Matters
