principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2025, its profit including other comprehensive

compliance with the requirements of the
Ind - AS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes
in Accounting Estimates and Errorsâ, for the
matters described therein.

Statements, which explains that the

a reconciliation statement and supporting

c. Note No. 8(d) to the Standalone Financial

believe that the audit evidence obtained by us

for our qualified opinion on the Standalone
Financial Statements.
5. 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 financial year ended March 31, 2025. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

6. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible
for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report but does not
include the Standalone Financial Statements
and our auditorâs report thereon. These Annual
Report is expected to be made available to us
after the date of our auditorâs report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial
Statements does not cover the other information
and we will 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 identified above when
it becomes available 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.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude
that there is material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance and take appropriate
actions necessitated by the circumstance and
the applicable laws and regulation.
7. The accompanying Standalone Financial
Statements has been approved by the
Companyâs Board of Directors. The Companyâs
Board of Directors are 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 financial position, financial performance
including other comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended. 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 Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
8. In preparing the Standalone Financial
Statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Companyâs 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 management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
9. The Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting
process.
10. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Standalone
Financial Statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 Standalone
Financial Statements.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we
exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
11.1. Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the Standalone 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.
11.2. 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) the
Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the Company has
adequate internal financial controls in
place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls.
11.3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the management.
11.4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the
managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as
a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditorâs report to
the related disclosures in the Standalone
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
auditorâs report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
11.5. 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 Standalone 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 Standalone Financial
Statements.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. From the matters communicated with those
charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditorâs 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.
15. The standalone financial statements of the
Company for the year ended March 31, 2024
were audited by the predecessor auditor, who
have expressed an unmodified opinion on those
standalone financial statements vide their audit
report dated May 23, 2024.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.
16. As required by the Companies (Auditorâs Report)
Order, 2020 ("the Orderâ), issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub-section (11)
of Section 143 of the Act and on the basis of such
checks of the books and records of the Company

described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion
section, in our opinion, the aforesaid
Standalone Financial Statements comply
with the Ind AS specified under Section
133 of the Act, read with Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as
amended.
e. The matters described in paragraph 3 under
the Basis for Qualified Opinion section,
in our opinion, may have an effect on the
functioning of the Company.
f. On the basis of the written representations
received from the directors as on March
31, 2025 taken on record by the Board of
Directors, none of the directors is disqualified
as on March 31, 2025 from being appointed
as a director in terms of Section 164(2) of
the Act.
g. With respect to the adequacy of the internal
financial controls with reference to these
Financial Statements of the Company and
the operating effectiveness of such controls,
refer to our separate Report in "Annexure
Bâ, wherein we have expressed a modified
opinion.
h. In our opinion, the managerial remuneration
for the year ended March 31, 2025 has
been paid/provided by the Company to its
directors in excess of the limit prescribed

and shareholders in due course.
18. With respect to the other matters to be included
in the Auditorâs Report in accordance with Rule

best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, we report as under:
a. The Company has disclosed the impact of
pending litigations as at March 31, 2025
on its financial position in its Financial
Statements - Refer Note 35 to the
Standalone Financial Statements;
b. The Company did not have any long-term
contracts including derivative contracts for
which there were any material foreseeable
losses;
c. There has been delays in transferring
amounts, required to be transferred, to the
Investor Education and Protection Fund by
the company during the year. Refer Note 47
to the Standalone Financial Statements;
d. (a) The management has represented to
us that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, no funds have been advanced
or loaned or invested (either from
borrowed funds or share premium

by the Company to or in any other
person(s) or entity(ies), including
foreign entities ("Intermediariesâ), with
the understanding, whether recorded
in writing or otherwise, that the
Intermediary shall, whether, directly
or indirectly lend to or invest in other

or provide any guarantee, security

recording audit trail (edit log) facility but
was not enabled throughout the year in respect these accounting software(s). Hence, the required
provisions of the Act regarding audit trail for these software(s) have not been complied with in all
aspects.
Further, we are unable to comment if there are any instance of audit trail feature being tampered with,
since such feature was not enabled.
Since the audit trail functionality was not enabled during the year, the question of its retention does not
arise, and accordingly, we are unable to comment thereon.

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

The Company engages in Fixed price contracts, including contracts with multiple performance obligations. Revenue recognition in such contracts involves judgments relating to identification of distinct performance obligations, determination of transaction price for such performance obligations and the appropriateness of the basis used to measure revenue recognised over a period. |
⢠Obtained an understanding of the systems, processes and controls for evaluation of fixed price contracts to identify distinct performance obligations and recognition of revenue. Evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls including IT controls relating to recording of the contract value, determining the transaction price, allocation of consideration to different performance obligations, measurement of efforts incurred and process around estimation of efforts required to complete the performance obligations and the most appropriate method to recognise revenue |

Key Audit Matters |
Auditor''s Response |
|
In case of Fixed price contracts where performance obligations are satisfied over a period of time, revenue is recognised using the percentage of completion method based on management''s estimate of contract efforts. The estimation of total efforts or costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information. These contracts may also involve recognizing onerous obligations that require critical estimates to be made by the management. In case of Fixed price maintenance contracts, revenue is recognised either on a straight line basis or using the percentage of completion method or at an amount equal to sums billed to customer, depending on the most appropriate method that depicts the value of service delivered to the customer. |
⢠On selected sample of contracts, we tested that the revenue recognised is in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. We - evaluated the identification of performance obligations; -considered the terms of the contracts to determine the transaction price; - determined if the Company''s evaluation of the method used for recognition of revenue is appropriate; - tested the Company''s calculation of efforts incurred, estimation of contract efforts including estimation of onerous obligation, through a retrospective review of efforts incurred with estimated efforts; - assessed appropriateness of contract assets/unbilled revenue on balance sheet date by evaluating underlying documentation. ⢠Tested aged contract assets to assess possible delays in achieving milestones, which may require a change in estimated efforts to complete the remaining performance obligations. ⢠Performed analytical procedures over revenue and receivables. |

MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company''s Management and 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 financial position, financial performance, total 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Allied Digital Services Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs 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 (ICAI). 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 companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs 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 âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) ofthe 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 auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Companyâs internal financial controls system overfinancial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control overfinancial 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 companyâs 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 ofthe assets ofthe company; (2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 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 and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the 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
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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 March 31, 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 ofChartered Accountants of India.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Allied Digital Services Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs 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 (ICAI). 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.
Auditorsâ 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 âGuidance Noteâ) 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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 and 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 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
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 March 31, 2016, 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.
