Key Audit Matters
a. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters prescribed below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Sr. Key Audit Matter No. | Auditors Response |
A. Assessment of fair value of the land parcel (as described in Note No. 33 of the financial statements) | Our audit procedures related to the key audit matters included the following: |
The management has initiated the process of calculation of fair value of land parcels located in Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Chattarpur and Greater Kailash. The Market Valuation of all the land parcels as on date of consideration and declaration of the financial results by the Board of Directors, has been assessed and valued at ^10,588,86/- lakhs. However, the report being received from a single Valuation Agency is not a complete reliable measure of the fair value of the Investment Property. | We evaluated the details of the land parcels as available in the Schedule I of the order of MCA dated 05.08.2019 pursuant to which the Scheme of Arrangement and Reconstruction was approved. |
As per IND AS 40, Investment Property, when the fair value of the property (not under construction) is not reliably measurable, the entity shall disclose: | In addition, we have considered the Valuation Reports of various Land parcels dated 31.03.2024. |
Further as per Ind AS 40 There is a rebuttable presumption that an entity can reliably measure the fair value of an investment property on a continuing basis. However, in exceptional cases, there is clear evidence when an entity first acquires an investment property (or when an existing property first becomes investment property after a change in use) that the fair value of the investment property is not reliably measurable on a continuing basis. This arises when, and only when, the market for comparable properties is inactive (eg-there are few recent transactions, price quotations are not current or observed transaction prices indicate that the seller was forced to sell) and alternative reliable measurements of fair value (for example, based on discounted cash flow projections) are not available. | We assessed the disclosures made in the financial statements. |
B. Litigation, claims and disputes pertaining to the surplus land (as described in Note No. 35(b) of the financial statements) | Our audit procedures related to the key audit matters included the following: |
There are total 27 cases of litigation, claims and disputes pertaining to the surplus land and Company, known as on 31.03.2025 which are pending under various forums. These litigations claim and disputes, where earlier TCL was a party, subsequent to approval of Scheme and transfer of land, have now been transferred and belong to the Company. | We obtained the list of total cases of litigation, claims and disputes, and analyzed the progress in all the said cases, including evaluation of any financial impact, due to any order of the court during the financial year 2024-25. " |
The Company is in the process of contesting all such litigations, claims and disputes. | We assessed and have made the relevant disclosures in the financial statements. |
The financial implications associated with all such litigations, if any, is undeterminable as of March 31, 2025. | Further, it has been observed that Claim of the Company in respect of Execution of Sale Deed of Chattarpur Land Parcel (in lieu of Shortage of 0.4 acres of Chennai Land Parcel)has not yet been executed by TCL, in favour of the Company as of March 31, 2025. |
Description of the Investment property | Refer Note No.33 of the financial Statements. |
Explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably | |
If possible, the range of estimates within which fair value is likely to fall. |
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
5. The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Boards Report including Annexures to Boards Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
6. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
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.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
7. The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, Cash flows of the Company, changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the IND AS 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; 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 Ind-AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
8. In preparing the financial statements, Management of the Company 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.
9. The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of Financial Statements
10. 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 Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
11. 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.
12. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compiled 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.

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respect.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

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 the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
