Basis for Opinion
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 opinion.
Key audit matters
4. 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. 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.
Appropriateness of revenue recognition on sale of services
Note 15 (Revenue from operations) of the financial statements.
The Companys revenue principally comprises sale of services from Subscription revenue. Revenue from the sale of services is recognised over time wherein the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. The progress is measured using the output method which measures revenue by comparing time elapsed to the total subscription period.
We have identified the recognition of revenue as a key audit matter specifically in terms of the risk of error in the timing and amount of revenue recognised. The subscriptions sold are generally non-cancellable. However, based on customary business practices followed by the Company, refunds are issued to customers on case-to-case basis on cancellation. The Company estimates the provision for such cancellations and recognises revenues net of such provision. Revenue recognition is determined to be an area involving significant risk in line with the requirements of Standards of Auditing and requires significant auditor attention.
Considering the above-mentioned factors, appropriateness of revenue recognition has been considered as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our key audit procedures around revenue recognition included, and not limited to, the following:
Understood and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key manual controls relating to revenue recognition;
Read the Companys revenue recognition accounting policy and evaluated the appropriateness of the companys revenue recognition accounting policy with respect to principles of Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers;
Tested reconciliation items between sales register and general ledger;
Tested sales transactions on a sample basis by examining the underlying documents which inter- alia included sales invoices and related terms and conditions to assess whether revenue was recognised appropriately;
Evaluated the contract terms for selected samples of customer contract and recalculated the revenue including amount disclosed as deferred revenue to determine appropriateness of the revenue recognised;
Tested the timing of recognition of revenue including performing cut-off procedures to determine whether revenue is recognised appropriately over a period of time based on satisfaction of performance obligation.;
Tested reconciliation of deferred revenue to determine whether the revenue has been recognised in the appropriate financial period;
Tested unusual journal entries if any posted under revenue general ledgers; and
Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures made in the financial statements in respect of revenue recognition with the applicable accounting standards.
Based on the procedures performed above, we did not note any significant exceptions in the management assessment of revenue recognition for sale of services.
Appropriateness of Assessment of recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets ("DTA") on tax losses
(Refer note 8 to the financial statements.)
The Company has recognised DTA of INR 2,048.88 lakhs on business losses carried forward from the earlier years in the income tax return to the extent it is recoverable based on the Companys projected probable taxable profits in the forthcoming years.
DTA has been recognised on the basis of the Companys assessment of availability of future probably taxable profit to be able to utilise such tax losses. The recoverability of the DTA depends upon factors such as the projected probable taxable profits of business, the period considered for such projections, the rate at which those profits will be taxed, the period over which the tax losses will be available for recovery and the likely outcome of disputes pending with the tax authorities if any. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The assessment of recoverability of DTA is considered a key audit matter as significant estimates and judgement are required by the Companys Management in the preparation of forecasts of future probable taxable profits based on the underlying business plans.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures, which involved applying materiality and sampling techniques, included the following:
Evaluating the design and testing of the operating effectiveness of Companys controls relating to taxation and the assessment of carrying amount of DTA relating to unabsorbed tax losses.
Evaluating whether the unabsorbed losses, on which deferred tax asset is recognised, has been assessed by the tax authorities and is available for utilisation in accordance with the provisions of Income- tax Act, 1961.
Assessing the appropriateness of tax rate applied to the taxable profit forecasts.
Reviewing the Companys accounting policy in respect of recognizing deferred tax asset on tax losses
Assessing the reasonableness of the period of projections used in the deferred tax asset recoverability assessment.
Obtaining the future taxable income projections prepared by the management and evaluating the judgements and assumptions made by the management in determining the projected future taxable income for reasonableness and performing sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions.
Assessing the adequacy of disclosures made in the financial statements with regard to deferred taxes.
Based on the above procedures performed, our testing did not identify any significant exceptions with respect to the reasonableness of the assumptions and estimates used by the management in assessing the recoverability of DTA recognised in respect of tax losses as at year end.
Other Information
5. 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 financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Annual report is 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 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 the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
6. The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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.
7. In preparing the 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
8. 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 influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 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.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Annexure A to Independent Auditors Report
Referred to in paragraph 14(g) of the Independent Auditors Report of even date to the members of Tracxn Technologies Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Tracxn Technologies Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting ("the Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring 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 under the Act.
Auditors Responsibility
3. 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 deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. 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.
4. 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 internal 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.
5. 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 system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
6. A companys internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial controls 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 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 effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal 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 internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls 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
8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all 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 March 31, 2024, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by ICAI.
