Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
The Company’s 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 financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under. 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under
We conducted our audit of standalone Ind AS financial statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Company’s preparation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on these standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Basis for qualified opinion
(i) As mentioned in Note no. 42 of the standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, as per debt covenant of Restructuring Agreement (RA), the Company is required to adhere to repayment schedule and such event of default gives Edelweiss Assets Reconstruction Company Limited (EARC) right to convert whole of the outstanding amount of restructured rupee loan and/or part of the default amount into fully paid up equity shares of the Company. Pending exercise of conversion right, the Company continues to disclose amount bifurcated between non-current borrowing amounting to Rs. 536,88.13 Lakh and current maturity of borrowing amounting to Rs. 56,71.08 Lakh and provide for interest. Further, the Company is also liable to pay penal interest amounting to Rs. 10,65.92 Lakh for the year ended 31st March 2018, as confirmed by EARC. No provision for such interest is made in the books of account, which is not in compliance with requirements of Ind AS - 23 on "Borrowing Cost". Had provision for such amount would have been made finance cost would have been higher by amount as mentioned above, total comprehensive income would have been lower to that extent and having consequential impact on other equity and financial liabilities.
(ii) As mentioned in Note no. 43 of the standalone lnd AS Financial Statement, the Company failed to adhere to the repayment schedule prescribed in supplement consent terms. As a result, event of default has occurred and the entire debt prior to date of settlement become payable along with interest. The Company has not reversed amount written back on settlement of first consent terms of Rs. 17,19.59 Lakh and not accrued interest amounting to Rs. 2,37.50 Lakh. Had the Company reversed the amount written back and made provision for interest, finance cost and other expense would have been higher by amount as mentioned above, having consequential impact on total comprehensive income, other equity and financial liabilities.
(iii) We draw attention to the Note no. 44 of the standalone Ind AS Financial Statement, wherein it is mentioned that lenders of the one subsidiary have invoked corporate guarantee given by the Company and no accounting impact of the same is recognized in the books of account pending settlement of the matter. The same is not in compliance with requirements of Ind AS - 109 on "Financial Instruments". We are unable to comment on the consequential impact, if any, on financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in Paragraphs above "Basis for Qualified Opinion", the aforesaid standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act, of the financial position of the Company as at 31st March 2018, and its financial performance including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Arshiya Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 Company’s 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 Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, 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 and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of standalone Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 Ind AS 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, directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on the audit of test of controls, in our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2018, 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
