We do not express an opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion and Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern sections of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

The matters in Paragraphs 1 to 15 below should be read with Note 1.2 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements which discusses certain key events of the year including reconstitution of the board of directors of the Company and Note 1.3 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements regarding the resolution process followed by the board of directors in relation to the Companys operations, as well as the relevant notes referred to here in below.

1. (a) As mentioned in Note 1.5 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements, on January 1, 2019, the Company, its Holding Company (Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Limited) and its fellow subsidiary (IL&FS Financial Services Limited) received orders from the National Company Law Tribunal for the reopening and recasting of their accounts in respect of financial years 2013-14 to 2017-18, under Section 130 of the Companies Act 2013.

Consequently, the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements do not include any possible adjustments arising from the aforesaid matters, including to the extent these may affect prior period comparatives presented therein.

2. We draw attention to Note 1.12 and Note 1.13 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements which explains the uncertainties involved in determining the recoverable value considered for determining provision for impairment and expected credit loss on investments, loans, trade and other receivables respectively (collectively referred to as "Receivable Balances") during the current year:

a) The recoverable amount is subject to finalisation of the claim management process of subsidiaries and joint ventures and their audited financial statements. Further, the distribution mechanism applied for determining recoverable amount is not in accordance with distribution mechanism approved by National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (‘NCLAT) vide its order dated March 12, 2020;

b) Recoverable amount considered in case of certain Receivable Balances is based on binding financial proposals approved by the Board of Directors and are subject to requisite approvals and acceptance of the Letter of Intent by the successful bidder;

c) Recoverable amount for certain Receivable Balances is based on Fair Valuation, which is subject to various internal and external factors including significant assumptions / estimates / judgments, as at September 30, 2018 and does not consider any adjustment to the present value of the cash flows / working capital upto March 31, 2019;

d) As further explained in Note 1.12 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements, the recoverable amount for certain Receivable Balances does not consider the requirement of the relevant Ind AS standards due to non-availability of the necessary and/or complete information in respect thereof.

Further, recoverable amount in respect of under construction projects is subject to finalisation / acceptance / disbursement of settlement amount by the respective authorities.

e) As mentioned in the note 1.12 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements, during the previous year, the Company had not considered latest traffic study report for impairment assessment of a project and in the current year the impairment provision has been recognised basis the said latest traffic study report. In the absence of the revised impairment assessment basis the latest traffic study report including its consequential impact on other significant assumptions, we are unable to comment on the impairment provision required in the previous year for the said project and its consequential impact accounted in the current year, if any.

In view of the above uncertainties involved and absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the assumptions / estimates / judgements used in determination of recoverable amount for computing the impairment / expected credit loss, we are unable to comment on the possible effects of changes, on account of aforesaid factors, on these standalone Ind AS financial statements.

3. As mentioned in Note 1.11 of the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements, the Company is in the process of reconciling the completeness and status of financial guarantees, performance guarantees, letter of awareness, letter of comfort, letter of assurance, sponsor guarantees, other arrangements and corporate guarantees extended by it to / on behalf of its group (including overseas subsidiaries) / third parties in the period prior to September 30, 2018, pending which, the Company has not recognised any resultant liabilities, if any, in the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements. Consequently, the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements do not include any possible adjustments in this regard.

4. With respect to following transactions, we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence about the underlying commercial substance and rationale of such transactions and consequential impact on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements:

a) Amounts paid during the year to certain related parties which are classified as loans amounting to Rs.

7.50 Crores have been fully impaired during the year as fully described in Note 5 (c) to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

b) Construction cost and other direct expenses incurred/debited to statements of profit and loss during the year, verified by us on a test check basis, amounting to Rs. 52.26 Crores as fully described in Note 24.1 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements and in respect Miscellaneous expenses amounting to Rs. 3.50 Crores as fully described in Note 29 (c).

We have not been provided with the commercial substance and rationale of the said investment including related expenses and the audited financial statements of the said Fund as at March 31, 2019. Hence, we are unable to comment on the fair value of the said investment and other impact on the standalone Ind AS financial statements, if any.

6. As fully described in the note 1.5 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements and further noted in paragraph 1 of our report stated above, the following transactions/matters will be considered by management along with the process of reopening / recasting of accounts in respect of financial years 2013-14 to 2017-18 pending which the comparative information has not been restated:

a) Sale of equity shares of Moradabad Barely Expressway Limited (MBEL) and Gujarat Road Infrastructure Company Limited (GRICL) which had resulted in gain amounting to Rs. 126 Crores in the previous year and subsequently during the current year these investments were acquired by Real Estate Assets Performance Fund and the investment was made by the Company in units of the said Fund, as fully described in Note 4(i) to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

8. We have not received audit evidence as follows:

a) Reconciliation of differences with banks mentioned in Note 1.17 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements aggregating Rs 426.34 Crores, which management believes represents unauthorised adjustments made by the bank in the Companys bank account and unreconciled differences in bank reconciliation statements including direct debits by banks aggregating Rs 420.13 Crores, for which the management is not aware of its nature and the same are in the process of being reconciled by the Company (included in Note 13 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements).

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We refer to Note 1.15 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements. The Company has incurred a loss (including other comprehensive income) of Rs 16,956.12 Crores for the year ended March 31, 2019 and has net liabilities of Rs 13,884.41 Crores as at March 31, 2019. The Company has also suffered consistent downgrades in its credit ratings since September 2018, as a result of which the Companys ability to raise funds has been substantially impaired, with normal business operations being substantially curtailed. These conditions, along with other matters, set forth in that note, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

Emphasis of matter

As stated in Note 1.16 to the accompanying Ind AS financial statements, the Company has not accounted for contractual interest income from its subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and third parties of Rs. 322 Crores on a gross basis and contractually payable finance costs on borrowings of Rs.745 Crores, (excluding penal / other interest and charges), for the period from October 16, 2018 to March 31, 2019 pursuant to an order passed by NCLAT specifying October 15, 2018 as cut-off date for initiation of resolution process.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We were engaged to audit the internal financial controls over financial reporting of IL&FS Transportation Networks Limited (the "Company") as of March 31, 2019, in conjunction with our audit of the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to the standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We were engaged to audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the ICAI.

Because of the matter described in Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph below, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

A companys internal financial control over financial reporting 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 companys 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 company; (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.

Disclaimer of Opinion

Consequent to the various matters mentioned in Note 1.2 to the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements, which have inter alia, resulted in the matters stated in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our auditors report on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements, the normal business operations of the Company as they existed until September 30, 2018 have ceased since, and the New Board has undertaken certain steps as mentioned in that note, to continue the current operations of the Company.

However, in view of the material and pervasive nature of the matters described in our Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our auditors report on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company, we are unable to determine if the Company has established adequate internal financial control over financial reporting and whether such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019.
