Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the 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 Ind AS financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

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.

S. No. Key Audit Matters	Auditors Response
1 Allowance for Expected credit loss on trade receivables.	In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures among others, to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence
Evaluation of trade receivables for impairment evidence requires exercise of judgement and involves consideration of various factors.	• Evaluating the accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables terms of the relevant Indian accounting standard;
These factors include customers ability and willingness to pay the outstanding amounts, past due receivables financial and economic difficulties of customers:	• Testing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Companys key internal financial controls. These controls relate to measurement of ECL on trade receivables
This assessment is done for each group of customers resulting from possible defaults over the expected life of the receivables. Based on this assessment, credit loss rate is determined in provision matrix. The credit loss rate is based on the experience of actual credit losses over past years adjusted to reflect the current economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Based on such credit loss rate, the Company records expected credit loss (ECL) allowance for trade receivables.	• Evaluated monitoring mechanism by the company related to credit control collection of trade receivables, follow up for past due amounts and for identification and recognition of corresponding impairment losses:
In view of the above, we have considered measurement of ECL on trade receivables (including retention monies) as a key audit matter	• For a sample of past due receivables, selected on the basis of risk, aging and volume, we examined the ageing of receivables, impairment losses provided/reversed during the year and compared them to historical experience
	• Evaluating the Companys assessment regarding credit worthiness customers and identification of the credit impaired customers
	• Balance confirmation requests were circulated to some of the customers based on random sampling
	• We evaluated the historical credit loss experience, current observable data and forward-looking outlook
	• Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements with reference to the relevant Indian accounting standards.
2 Timing of revenue recognition and adjustments for coal quality variances involving critical estimates	In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when control is transferred to the customers and when there are no other unfulfilled obligations. This requires detailed analysis of each sale agreement/ contract /customer purchase order regarding timing of revenue recognition.	• Assessing the Companys accounting policies for revenue recognition by comparing with the applicable accounting standards i.e Ind AS 115;
Inappropriate assessment could lead to a risk of revenue being recognized on sale of goods before the control in the goods is transferred to the customer.	• Assessing the appropriateness of the estimated adjustments in the process;
Subsequent adjustments are made to the transaction price due to grade mismatch (GCV) / slippage of the transferred goods (coal).	• Testing the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over timing of recognition of revenue from sale of goods and subsequent adjustments made to the transaction price;
The variation in the contract price if not settled mutually between the parties to the contract is referred to third party testing and the Company estimates the adjustments required for revenue recognition pending settlement of such dispute.	• Performing testing on selected statistical samples of customer contracts. Checked terms and condition related to acceptance of goods, acknowledged delivery receipts and tested the transit time to deliver the goods and its revenue recognition. Our tests of details focused on cut-off samples to verify only revenue pertaining to current year is recognized based on terms and conditions set out in sale agreements/ contracts and delivery documents. We also performed tests to establish the basis of estimation of the consideration and whether such estimates are commensurate with the accounting policy of the Company
Such adjustments in revenue are made on estimated basis following historical trend.
Inappropriate estimation could lead to a risk of revenue being overvalued or undervalued.
Accordingly, timing of recognition of revenue and adjustments for coal quality variances involving critical estimates is a key audit matter
3 Assessment of Contingent liabilities in respect of certain litigations relating to direct taxes, various claims led by other parties not acknowledged as debt.	We have obtained an understanding of the Companys procedure in respect of estimation and disclosure of contingent liabilities and adopted the following audit procedure:
There is a high level of judgement required in estimating the contingent liabilities. The companys assessment of contingent liabilities is supported by the facts of the matter, Companys judgement thereon, past experience and advices from legal and independent tax consultants wherever necessary.	• Reviewing the current status and material developments of legal matters.
We identified the above area as Key Audit Matters in view of associated uncertainty relating to the outcome of these matters.	• Examining recent orders from competent authorities and/ or communication received from various authorities, judicial forums and follow-up action thereon.
	• Review and analysis of evaluation of the contentions of the company through discussions, collection of details of the subject matter under consideration, the likely outcome and consequent potential outcomes on those issues.
	• Based on the above procedures performed, the estimation and disclosures of contingent liabilities is considered to be adequate and reasonable.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report thereon

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditors report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the 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.

Managements Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Companys board of directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Ind AS 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder.

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 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 Ind AS 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 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 with reference to financial statements 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 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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.
