To the Members of Insecticides (India) Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Insecticides (India) Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive
income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement
of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of the material accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred
to as "the standalone financial statements").
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 read with the Companies (Indian 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, 2026, and its profit and total
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 (ICAI) 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 made 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matter
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. We have determined the matters described
below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our
report.
Key Audit Matter |
Auditors Response |
Recognition of Revenue |
Principal Audit Procedures |
| The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the transaction price for the sale, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration and consideration receivable from the customer. | -We performed process walkthrough to understand the adequacy and the design of the revenue cycle. We tested internal controls in the revenue and trade receivables over the accuracy and timing of revenue accounted in the Financial statements. |
| For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Companys Statement of Profit & Loss included Sales of Rs. 2,14,414.11 Lakhs. The nature of rebates, discounts and sales returns, if any, involve judgment in determining sales revenues and revenue cut- off. The risk is, therefore, that revenue may not be recognized in the correct period. | -Understanding the policies and procedures applied to revenue recognition, as well as compliance thereof, including an analysis of the effectiveness of controls related to revenue recognition processes employed by the Company. |
| Refer to Material accounting policies Note 2.2 (b) and Note No. 21 of the standalone Financial Statements. | -We reviewed the revenue recognition policy applied by the Company to ensure its compliance with Ind AS 115 requirements. |
| -We performed detailed testing on transactions, ensuring revenues were recognized in the correct accounting period. We also tested journal entries recognized in revenue focusing on unusual or irregular transactions. | |
-We validated the appropriateness and completeness of the related disclosures in Note No. 21 of the Standalone Financial statements. |
Information Other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditors Report
Thereon
The Companys Board of Directors are 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 and Sustainability
Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information,
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 we do not express any form of
assurance or 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 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.
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 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 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 Board of
Directors 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 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 are 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 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 an 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 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 financial 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 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
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 determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the 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.

ANNEXURE "B" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 2(g) under Report on Other Legal and Regulatory
Requirements section of our report to the Members
of Insecticides (India) Limited of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143
of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference
to financial statements of Insecticides (India) Limited ("the
Company") as of March 31,2026 in conjunction with our audit
of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the
year ended on that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial
Controls
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based
on the internal control with reference to financial statements
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.
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
respective 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 Act.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements of the Company
based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls
Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards
on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to
the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls.
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 was
established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system with reference to financial statements and their
operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements included obtaining an
understanding of internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements, 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.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
internal financial controls system with reference to financial
statements of the Company.
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
Companys internal financial control with reference to financial
statements 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.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with
reference to financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements, 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
financial controls with 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 changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with
reference to financial statements and such internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements were operating
effectively as at March 31, 2026, based on the internal control
with reference to financial statements 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.
