1. Disclaimer of Opinion

We were engaged to audit the standalone financial statements of MT Educare Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

We do not express an opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company. Because of the significance of the matters described in the "Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion" paragraph of our report, we have notbeenabletoobtainsufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these standalone financial statements.

2. Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

For the paragraphs (a) to (k) mentioned below, we are unable to comment on the elements of standalone financial statements which may require necessary disclosures/ documentation/ explanations and/or adjustments including material uncertainty regarding Companys ability to continue as a going concern, and impact on the standalone financial statements. We sufficient and appropriate audit areunabletoobtain evidence on the matters mentioned below, which may have a material and pervasive impact on the financial position of the Company as at and for year ended 31 March 2025.

a) As described in Note 1 and Note 54 of the standalone financial statements, we have been informed that various claims by operational creditors/ financial creditors / employees / statutory authorities and other creditors including claims for guarantee obligation("creditors") have been submitted to the RP.

The overall obligations and liabilities, including interest and principal amounts of borrowings will be determined during the Corporate InsolvencyResolution Process ("CIRP"). As the outcome of the CIRP is still pending, no accounting impact has been recognised in the books of account in respect of any excess, shortfall, or non-receipt of claims from the aforementioned creditors. In the absence of final determination and reconciliation of such claims, we are unable to comment on adjustments, if any, that may be required.

b) In the absence of comprehensive review of carrying amount of assets (including property, plant and equipment, investments, loans and advances, balances with government authorities, deposits, trade and other receivables) and liabilities and non-availabilityofconfirmations of substantial balances and pending completion of CIRP, we are unable to comment upon, whether any adjustments are required to the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities and consequential impact, if any, on the profit for the year ended 31 March 2025. Further, nondetermination of fair value of financialassets and liabilities and impairment of carrying amount of other assets and liabilities are not in compliance with Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments", Ind AS 36"Impairment of Assets" and Ind AS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets".

c) The Company has recognised net deferred tax assets of 6,235.92 lakhs as at 31 March 2025, which includes deferred tax assets recognised on loans. The recognition of deferred tax assets on such loans is not in accordance with Ind AS 12 "Income Taxes". Further, the recognition of deferred tax assets is based on the assumption that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods against which these deferred tax assets can be utilized. In view of the continued losses and the ongoing Corporate InsolvencyResolution Process (CIRP), we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the assumptions underlying the recognition of these deferred tax assets as per Ind AS 12 "Income Taxes". Accordingly, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments are required to the carrying amount of these deferred tax assets as at 31 March 2025.

d) i) The Company has outstanding loans, trade receivables and other receivables ("receivables") of 7,769.97 lakhs (net of provisions) as at 31 March 2025, which are overdue / rescheduled. The management / RP envisages the same to be good and recoverable. However, in view of the long outstanding nature of these balances and sufficient appropriate in the absence of audit evidence, we are unable to assess whether any adjustments are necessary to the carrying amount of these receivables and the consequential impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements. The non-recognition of an impairment provision/ expected credit loss in respect of these receivables is not in compliance with Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments".

ii) As referred in Note 12 of the standalone financial statements, the Company has not accounted for interest income of 1,987.35 lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2025 and 3,749.99 lakhs up to 31 March 2025, pending recoveries of long outstanding loans (included in d (i) above).

e) The Company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest to banks, financial institutions and other lenders, resulting in the classification of the accounts as a Non-Performing Assets (NPA). Furthermore, the Company has not recognised interest expenses (excluding any additional or penal interest) on the aforesaid borrowings of 347.35 lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2025 and 1,547.11 lakhs up to 31 March 2025, based on the basic rate of interest as per the terms of the loans. This non-recognition of borrowing costs is not in compliance with Ind AS 23 "Borrowing Costs" read with Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments".

f) We have not received bank statement/ confirmation of balance for the balance lying in current account with bank of 5.36 lakhs. In the absence of we are unable to determine possible impact, if any, on the profit for the year ended 31 March 2025 and on the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents.

g) We have been informed by the RP that certain information, including the minutes of the meetings of the Committee of Creditors (COC), and the outcome of certain specific/routine procedures carried out as part of the IBC process are confidential in nature and cannot be shared with other than the COC and Honble NCLT. In the opinion of the RP, the matter is highly sensitive, confidential and may have adverse impact on the resolution process. Accordingly, we were not provided access to such information and are therefore unable to comment on the impact, if any, on the standalone financial statements, including recognition, measurement, and disclosures, that may have arisen, had such information been made available to us.

h) The Companys investment in subsidiary companies of 1,297.71 lakhs as at 31 March 2025 has been considered as good and fully recoverable by the management / RP, despite the subsidiaries having accumulated losses, complete erosion of net worth, and facing liquidity constraints.Intheabsenceofsufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support this assessment, we are unable to comment on whether any adjustments are required to the carrying value of these investments in accordance with Ind AS 36 – "Impairment of Assets", and the consequential impact, if any, on the standalone. financialstatements

i) The Company has accumulated losses, negative net worth (considering the impact of various paragraphs stated above), and its current liabilities exceed its current assets. Additionally, there has been a decline in operational activity and defaults in meeting its financialobligations.

These events or conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the outcome of the CIRP, including approval and implementation of the resolution plan. We have not obtained evidence to support the management/ RPs assessment that the Company will continue as a going concern.

j) The Company has not carried out physical verification of property, plant and equipment Accordingly, material discrepancies, if any, could not be ascertained and therefore, we are unable to comment on the existence of such property, plant and equipment and its related impact, if any, on the accompanying standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 including recognition, measurement and disclosures, that may arise had the Company carried out such physical verification.

k) The Company has received various notices relating to direct and indirect tax matters.

However, the management has not provided evidence, including a comprehensive assessment or reliable data, to enable us to evaluate the potential financial impact of these matters. Consequently, we are unable to quantify the possible effects, if any, of matters on the standalone financial statements

In the absence of adequate information, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments are required in respect of provisions, contingent liabilities, or related disclosures, as required byInd AS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and Ind AS 12 "Income Taxes"

Our report on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 had a disclaimer of opinion with respect to the matters stated in paragraphs (a) to (i) above. For the matters mentioned in paragraph (a) to (k) above, we are unable to determine the adjustments that are necessary in respect of Companys assets, liabilities as on Balance sheet date, income and expenses for the year, statement of cash flowsand related presentation and disclosures in standalone financial statements, so we disclaim to form any opinion on the standalone financial statements.

3. Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 48 to the standalone financial statements, regarding derecognition of right-of-use assets, write off of security deposit and advances given and write back of corresponding lease liabilities, pertaining to leased premises, for the reasons as detailed in the said note. The net gain of 2,378.63 lakhs on derecognition has been disclosed as an exceptional item in the standalone financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
