Basis for Opinion
I have conducted my audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Act. My responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the
'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements' Section of my Report. I am
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to my audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
there under, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the Code of Ethics. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion on the financial statements
Emphasis of Matters
a) The company had granted unsecured loan of Rs. 300 lacs to a group company which has
ceased to be going concern. However in the opinion of management the same is good for
recovery being a loan given to company within group.

b) Balances of Income Tax Refunds receivable are subject to confirmation.
( Refer Note No 34 of Notes forming part of accounts)
Information other than the financial statements and Auditors report thereon ('Other
information')
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information.
The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report,
but does not include the financial statements and auditor's report thereon.
My Opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information and I do not express
any form of assurance or conclusions thereon.
In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other
information and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit or other wise appears to
be materially misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a
material misstatement of the other information, I am required to report that fact. I have
nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those charged with Governance for the Standalone
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 standalone financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the state of affairs ( financial position), profit or loss (financial
performance) changes in equity and cash flows of the company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind As specified under section
133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. 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 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management and the Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Company's ability to continue as 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.
Auditor's Responsibility for the audit of the financial statements
My objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that include my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement 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 decision of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, I exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. I 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 my 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.
• 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 I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am
required to draw attention in my auditors report to the related disclosures conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
I 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 I identify during an audit.
1 also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I 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 my independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
