We have audited standalone financial statements of Mahan Industries Limited ("the company"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
other Comprehensive Income), the Statement in Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statement, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone
financial statement").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in 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) Rules, 2015, as amended,
("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in india, of the state of affairs of the
company as at 31st March, 2024 and profit and total comprehensive income, change in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor's 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 Companies Act, 2013 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
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
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, Boa rd's Report
including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder's Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 the standalone
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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 the Standalone 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 and presentation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance 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, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes the maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting the 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 control,
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, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matter related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or
to cease operations, of has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting
process.
Auditor's Responsibility
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 financial 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 standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone 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 evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statement.
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.
