INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
POWERLINKS TRANSMISSION LIMITED
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of POWERLINKS TRANSMISSION
LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March,
2014, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then
ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Companys Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards notified under
the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") (which continue to be applicable in respect
of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13
September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
the disclosures in the financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion

given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act
in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India:
