We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

S. NO.

THE KEY AUDIT MATTERS

HOW THE MATTER WAS ADRESSED IN OUR AUDIT

1.

LOAN CLASSIFIED as Non Performing Assets (NPA), TRANSFERRED TO ASSET RECONSTRUCTION COMPANIES (ARC)

OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

(Refer Note 20 to the Standalone Financial Statements)

  1. The company has taken Rupee Loan from Banks and financial institutions and due to default in repayment, they had been classified as NPA. Thus, these Banks and FIs have already assigned their entire exposure to the Assets Reconstruction Companies in previous years. The Company had made payments to the above ARCs which has been adjusted against the total outstanding loan liability.
  2. The Company has negotiated with Corporation Bank and Punjab National Bank (combined with erstwhile Oriental bank of Commerce) to restructure its debts. The Company had made payment to the above banks as per the repayment schedule which has been adjusted against the total outstanding loan liability.

We reviewed the correspondence of the company with the relevant Asset reconstruction companies and we have examined the agreement made with them.

We reviewed the proposal of the company with the Bank.

We obtained the understanding of these reconstruction schemes through meetings with management and review of the minutes of the Board of Directors.

We reviewed the further correspondences of the Company with the relevant Banks/ARCs.

2.

THE COMPANYS EXPOSURE TO LITIGATION RISK

OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

(Refer Note 35A to the Standalone Financial Statements)

The Company is exposed to different laws, regulations and interpretations thereof and hence, there is a litigation risk. Consequently, the Company has significant litigation cases pending with Custom Authorities, Excise Authorities, Service tax Authorities and Income tax Authorities. Given the nature and amounts involved in such cases and the appellate forums at which these are pending, the ultimate outcome and the resultant accounting in the financial statements is subject to significant judgement, which can change over time as new facts emerge and each legal case progresses, and therefore, we have identified this as key audit matter.

We obtained details of completed tax assessments and demands for the year ended March 31, 2022 from management.

We examined the assumptions used in estimating the tax provision and the possible outcome of the disputes.

We considered legal precedence and other rulings in evaluating managements position on these tax positions.

3.

THE COMPANY HAS ISSUED CONVERTIBLE SHARE WARRANT DURING THE YEAR

OUR AUDIT PROCEDURES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

(Refer Notes 17 and 18 to the Standalone Financial Statements.)

During the financial year 2022-2023, the Company has issued 5,00,00,000 and 2,20,00,000 convertible Share warrant on preferential basis at Rs. 52 and Rs. 45 each respectively, out of which 3,50,00,000 share warrant has been converted into equity share during the year and the balance 3,70,00,000 share warrant is pending for conversion. Consideration received towards these warrants which are pending for conversion (25% of Issue price, i.e, Rs. 52/- for 1.5 crore warrant and Rs. 45/- for 2.2 crore warrant) was depicted in ‘Other Equity which subsequently will be utilized for conversion into equity. As the conversion of Share warrants by the company during the financial year 2022-2023, has the effect of enhancing the Equity of the Company the same is considered to be a key audit matter.

Our audit procedure includes gaining an understanding of the process of issue of share warrants followed by the company, to include amongst others:

  1. Authorization by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company;
  2. Passing of resolution in a validly convened and constituted Board meeting of the company.
  3. Passing of resolution in a validly convened and constituted general meeting of the company and necessary regulatory filing done by the Company. Obtaining permission from the NSE/BSE Ltd. under SEBI (Listing obligations and Disclosure requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors Report

Thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditors report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report. Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance 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.

When we read Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement there in we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with Governance.

Managements Responsibility 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, Statement of Changes in Equity and cash flows 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 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, 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 Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibility 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 the 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 scepticism 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 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.
  • 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.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statement. We are also responsibile for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of othe Consolidated Financial Statements of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statement of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statement, which have been auditied by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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 Standalone 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.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting

management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 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

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 be 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

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 over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023, 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.
