We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters:
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit matter description |
How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: |
The audit procedures included but were not limited to: |
(Refer to Note no.3.2 of the Notes to the Standalone financial statements) | --Assessment of the processes of the Company for adoption of the new accounting standards. |
Revenue from contracts with customer is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods and is measured at the transaction price received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates, based on contractually defined terms. | --Selecting a sample from each type of the contracts with the customers, and testing the operating effectiveness of the internal control, relating to identification of the distinct performance obligations and determination of transaction price. Carrying out a combination of procedures involving enquiry and observation, re-performance and inspection of evidence in respect of operation of these controls. |
In some cases, discounts estimated will be determined on sale of goods by the customers. | |
Also, in certain cases the Company has contracts with customers which entitle them to right of return. At year end, number of returns, and discounts that have been incurred and not yet settled with the customer are estimated and accrued. Estimating the amount of accrual at year-end is considered a key audit matter due to the judgements required to be made by management. | --Testing the relevant controls including access and change management controls of information technology systems, which are relevant for appropriate measurement and presentation of revenue and related account balances. |
Performing following procedures on the samples selected: | |
--Reading, analysing and identifying the distinct performance obligations in these contracts. | |
--Comparing these performance obligations with that identified and recorded by the Company. | |
--Testing sample of revenues with the performance obligation specified in the underlying contracts. | |
--Carrying analytical procedure for reasonableness of revenue disclosed by segments. | |
--Evaluating the appropriateness of adequate disclosures in accordance with the standards. | |
Inventory valuation: |
|
(Refer to Note no. 3.8 to the Notes to the Standalone financial statements) | We obtained a detailed understanding and evaluated the design and implementation of controls that the Company has established in relation to inventory valuation. |
Inventories are to be valued as per Ind AS 2. As described in the Note no. 3.8 on Inventories, the Company carries inventory at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. The Company provides for changes in value based on estimated inventory usage. This methodology relies upon assumptions made in determining appropriate provisioning percentages to apply to inventory balances. As a result, the management applies judgment in determining the appropriate provisions against inventory of Stores, Raw Material, Finished Goods and Work in Progress based upon a detailed analysis of old inventory, net realisable value below cost based upon future plans for sale of inventory. | We obtained assurance over the appropriateness of managements assumptions applied in calculating the value of inventory provisions by: verifying the value of a sample of inventory items to confirm whether they are held at the lower of cost and net realizable value, through comparison to vendor invoices and sales prices; reviewing the documents and other records related to physical verification of inventories done by the management during the year. |
verifying that the adequate cut off procedure has been applied to ensure that purchased inventory and sold inventory are correctly accounted. | |
using data analytics to identify unusual inventory usage characteristics, completing assumption tolerance testing and recalculating the provision in totality. | |
Allowance for Credit Losses: |
|
(Refer to Note no. 3.1(ii)(f) & Note No.59 to the Notes to the Standalone financial statements) | Our audit procedures to test the effectiveness of controls over allowances for credit loss includes the following: |
The Company applies the simplified approach which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivables. The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions of its customers, their industry and geography of operations. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company also considers other related information for its customers, including credit periods, to estimate the probability of default in future and has considered estimates of possible effects from any uncertain events/litigations etc. The Management has exercised significant judgement in estimating the allowance for credit losses making it a key audit matter. | Trade Receivables ageing report as on balance sheet date |
Development of the expected credit model for the allowance for credit losses, including consideration of the current and estimated future economic conditions. | |
Completeness and accuracy of information used in the estimation of probability of default Status of recovery of trade receivables as on the report date out of the total outstanding as at March 31, 2024 | |
Verification of computation of the allowance for credit losses | |
Testing the arithmetical accuracy and computation of the allowance prepared by the Management. | |
Testing the allowance for credit loss through alternate scenarios, including profiling of customers based on their attributes with various sensitivities around the assumptions and reviewing the possible effects of any uncertain events/ litigations to validate the Management estimates. |
Other Information:
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report Directors Report, Management Discussion & Analysis and Corporate Governance Report-- other than the financial statements and our auditors report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
The Chairmans Statement, Directors Report, Management Discussion & Analysis and Corporate
Governance Reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report. When we read these reports, if we conclude that the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of the 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 and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income/loss, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for 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, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the standalone financial statements by the Board of Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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 of the Company are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
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 Standards on Auditing (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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system with reference to the 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 ability of the Company 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 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.

Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, both issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both 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 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 the 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 standalone 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 Companys internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 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 standalone financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financialstatements, 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, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024, 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
