INDIA LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement
of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the
Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the Standalone Financial
Statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for
the possible effect of matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the aforesaid
Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting
Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)

state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, the loss and total comprehensive income, changes in
equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for qualified opinion
a. Material uncertainty relating to going concern, in respect of preparation of financial statements of
the company on going concern basis. The company has negative net worth of Rs. 4003.02 Lakhs
and current liabilities exceeds current assets by aggregating Rs. 2752.06 Lakhs. As stated in Note
14 of the Financial Statement, The OTS scheme which was approved by Union bank in the Year
2021-2022 on 4th February 2022 has been cancelled by the Union Bank of India in January 2023
due to non-payment of Rs. 8.71 Crore due till December 2022. Therefore, The Loan waiver of Rs.
1287.93 Lakhs which has been credited to profit & Loss Account in the year 2021-2022 has been
reversed in current financial year 2022-2023. Company has provided interest Rs. 50.57 Lakhs on
30th September 2022 in the books as per the terms of OTS Scheme, The Same has reversed on
account of cancellation of OTS Scheme. The company has not provided any interest since long and
interest will be provided at the time of payment/ final settlement of loan. These conditions indicate
the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to
continue as going concern and therefore the company may be unable to realize its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of the business. We are unable to determine as to
whether any adjustment that would have been necessary and required to be made in respect of trade
receivables, trade payables, borrowings, Current liabilities, loans and advances and contingent
liabilities as at 31st March 2024 and in respect of corresponding possible impact of such items and
associated elements on the statement for the year ended on that date. Accordingly, we are unable

statements.

assets of Rs. 1975.31 Lakhs for Tangible Assets as at March 31,2024 is not made available. Also,
ownership proof of tangible assets has not been provided. The said assets are not tested for of
impairment and hence no provision for impairment has been made. In absence of any alternative

qualified opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the standalone 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.
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 statement and our auditors report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statement, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing is to read the other information and, in doing so. Consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statement or our knowledge obtained in the 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 the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the 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 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 Ind AS and other 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.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors 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 company’s financial reporting process.
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 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. 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.
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, 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or 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 (ii) to evaluate the effect of any
identified misstatements in the 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 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 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.
