Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our auditof the Financial Statements forthe financial yearended 31stMarch, 2025. These matters were addressed in the contextof our auditof the Financial Statements asa whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our auditaddressed the matter is provided in that context. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report along with our description of how our audit addressed the matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Management and Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management Discussion and Analysis, Boards Report and the Annual Report, but does notinclude the financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will 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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements or oour knowledge obtained during the courseof our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this other information, we are required to reportthat fact. We have nothing to report in this regard at this moment.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 iregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate intemal 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsiblefor assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intendsto liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative butto doso. The Companys Board of Directors s also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process. Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 influencethe economic decisionsof users taken on the basis of these 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 financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate o 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 mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrideof intemal control.
+ Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevantto the auditin orderto 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 whetherthe Company has adequate intemalfinancial controls system in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
+ Evaluate the appropriatenessof accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
+ Conclude on the appropriatenessof 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. f we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditors report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Companyto ceaseto continue as agoing concern.
+ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually o 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 (i to evaluate the effectof any identified misstatements in the financial statements. significantauditfindings, including any significant deficiencies in intemal 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 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 aboutthe matter orwhen, 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.

We have audited the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements of SVC Industries Limited (the Company) as at31st March, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Companyfor the yearended on that date. Managements Respon: ity for Internal Financial Controls
The Companys Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining intemal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components ofinternal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the Guidance Note"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements thatwere operating effectively forensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required undertheAct. Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys intemal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of intemal financial controls with reference to the financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the auditto obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate intenal 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 system 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 intemal financial controls with reference to 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 systemwith reference to financial statements. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
A companys intemal 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 the 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 pemit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effecton the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with referenceto Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of intemal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 intemal financial controls with reference to financial statementsto future periods are subjectto the risk that the intemal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliancewith the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opi ion
In ouropinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, inall material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2025, based on the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Intemal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered accountants of India.
