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
qualified audit opinion on the 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 Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind AS 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
1. "The Company" has defaulted in repayment of dues to Union Bank of India & IM Financial Asset
Reconstruction Company, which was in violation to / as against to the order passed by the National
Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) dated 19.01.2024.
2. As per the order passed by the NCLAT dated 19.01.2024, it was held that in case of any deviation in the
payment of dues to above referred parties, the Financial Creditors may approach the Adjudicating
Authority to seek an order for liquidation. However, as per the information and explanations by the
management, no such application for liquidation has been filed by the Financial Creditors before the
NCLAT as of date.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including
Annexure to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's
Information, but does not include the Ind AS Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind
AS Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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.
Management’s Responsibility for thelnd AS Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation of these Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the lnd 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 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 Ind AS Financial Statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's
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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS Financial Statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's 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. Mis
statements 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
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 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that is 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 system 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 management's 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists; we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report
to the related disclosures in the Ind AS 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
auditor's 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 Ind AS Financial Statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the 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 Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Ind
AS 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 Ind AS 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 the 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 Ind AS Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31st
March,2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.
