Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Golden Legand Leasing and Finance Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025 and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including statement of Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as "the Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section below, the aforesaid 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(lndian 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, its loss, total comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
a) . There was no system of obtaining periodical confirmation of balances relating to trade receivables, trade payables, loans and advances, borrowings and current liabilities. The effect of the same on the result for the period is not ascertainable.
b) . The Company has not done any retrospective adjustment of prior period errors and omissions by restating the comparative amounts for prior period presented or, where the errors relate to the period (s) before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balance of assets, liabilities and equity for that period. This is in contravention to Indian accounting standard (Ind AS) 8 (Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors).
In the absence of information, the effect of which cannot be quantified, we are unable to comment on the possible impact of the items stated in the point nos. (a) And (b) above on the Ind-AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on March 31, 2025.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the 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 Act and the Rules there under, 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 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 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.
In addition to the matter described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion" section, we have determined the following matter to be a key audit matter to be communicated in our report:
Revenue from Operations -First Year of Operations as a Payment Gateway and Aggregator
Description of the Key Audit Matter
The Company commenced its operations as a listed Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) engaged in payment gateway and payment aggregator services during the current financial year. Revenue from operations primarily comprises transaction processing fees, commission income, service fees from merchants, and other digital payment-related income. Given the nature of the business, revenue recognition involves high transaction volumes, and multiple service offerings. As this is the first year of operations, there is an inherent risk regarding the completeness, accuracy, and timing of revenue recognition in accordance with Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These factors required significant auditor attention and audit effort.
Our audit procedures include, but were not limited to
1. Evaluating the appropriateness of the Companys revenue recognition policies and their compliance with Ind AS 115.
2. Understanding and testing the design and implementation of key internal controls over the revenue cycle.
3. Assessing key revenue streams and reviewing sample contracts with merchants to evaluate performance obligations and timing of revenue recognition.
4. Performing substantive testing on a sample of transactions to verify amounts charged, timing of recognition, and supporting documentation.
5. Reperforming reconciliations between bank transaction settlement data, and accounting records.
6. Reviewing the adequacy of revenue disclosures in the financial statements.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
1. 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 the Board report , Management discussion and Analysis, Business responsibility and substantiality report and corporate governance report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon.
2. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
3. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information included above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
4. When we read the above reports, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are requested to communicate the matter to these charged with governance and take necessary action, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulation.
5. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; 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 Financial Statements
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, Cash Flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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; design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that are 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 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.
The Companys Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
2. 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.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. 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.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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 determined the matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period. And are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors report unless law or regulation preclude public disclosure, or 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.

(2) provide reasonable assurance that 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 could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
