(including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under Section 143(10)
of the Act. 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. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the Code of Ethics, as amended, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics, as amended. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial
Statements.

Key audit matters

4. 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.

Key Audit Matters

Principal audit procedures

Other bank balances

As on 31st March 2025, the Company carries
cash and bank balances of ^ 4,972.58 lakhs.
The amount of other bank balances have been
considered a key audit matter given the relative
size of the balance in the financial statements.

Our audit procedures included:

• We have tested the design and operating effectiveness
of controls with regard to maintenance of cash balances,
operation of bank accounts and preparation of bank
reconciliation statements.

• We have verified the confirmations of balances from the
banks directly received by us and we have performed
alternate audit procedures where direct confirmation could
not be obtained.

Other information

5. The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company''s annual report but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements
and our auditor''s report thereon. The Company''s annual report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor''s report.

Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements 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 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 Ind AS financial statements

6. 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, changes in equity 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. 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair
view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

7. In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, management 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,
or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of Ind AS financial statements

8. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS financial
statements.

9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

V_

• 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

13. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 ("the Order"), issued by the Central Government
of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in the Annexure A, a statement on the
matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

14. With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor''s Report in accordance with the requirements
of Section 197(16) of the Act, as amended:

paid by the Company to its Directors during the year was in compliance with provisions of Section 197 of

Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to

the explanations given to us:

material foreseeable losses.

iii. During the year, the Company was required to transfer the unclaimed dividend pertaining to the financial
year 2016-17 that was declared in the General Meeting held on September 28, 2017 amounting to Rs.
6,06,334. There was a delay of two months in transferring this amount to the Investor Education and
Protection Fund by the Company.

iv. (a) The Management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no funds (which are

material either individually or in the aggregate) have been advanced or loaned or invested (either from
borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any other
person or entity, including foreign entity ("intermediaries"), with the understanding, whether recorded
in writing or otherwise, that the intermediary shall, whether, directly or indirectly lend or invest in other
persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Company ("Ultimate
Beneficiaries") or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;

(b) The Management has represented, that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no funds (which are

persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party ("Ultimate

circumstances, nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the representations as

course of our audit we did not come across any instance of audit trial feature being tampered with. The
audit trial has been preserved by the company as per the statutory requirements for record retention.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
