Mar 31, 2024
We were engaged to audit the accompanying
standalone financial statements of MT Educare
Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31 March 2024, the Statement of Profit
and Loss (including other comprehensive income),
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement
of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the standalone financial statements, including
a summary of the material accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
We do not express an opinion on the accompanying
standalone financial statements of the Company.
Because of the significance of the matters described
in the "Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion" paragraph
of our report, we have not been able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide
a basis for an audit opinion on these standalone
financial statements.
For the paragraphs (a) to (j) mentioned below, we are
unable to comment on the elements of standalone
financial statements which may require necessary
disclosures/ documentation/ explanations and/or
adjustments including material uncertainty regarding
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, and
impact on the standalone financial statements. We
are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit
evidence on the matters mentioned below, which may
have a material and pervasive impact on the financial
position of the Company as at and for year ended 31
March 2024.
a) We draw attention to Note 1 of the standalone
financial statements regarding admission of the
Company into Corporate Insolvency Resolution
Process ("CIRP"), and pending determination of
obligations and liabilities with regard to various
claims submitted by the operational / financial /
other creditors and employees including claims
for guarantee obligation and interest payable
on loans (as referred in note 35.1 of standalone
financial statements), we are unable to comment
on adjustments, if any, pending reconciliation and
determination of final obligation. Our opinion for
the year ended 31 March 2023 was modified in
respect of this matter.
b) In the absence of comprehensive review of
carrying amount of certain assets (loans and
advances, balances with government authorities,
deposits, trade and other receivables) and
liabilities and non-availability of confirmation of
substantial balances, we are unable to comment
upon adjustments, if any, that may be required
to the carrying amount of such assets and
liabilities and consequential impact, if any, on
the loss for the year ended 31 March 2024. Non¬
determination of fair value of financial assets and
liabilities are not in compliance with Ind AS 109
"Financial Instruments" and Ind AS 37 "Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets".
Our opinion for the year ended 31 March 2023
was modified in respect of this matter.
c) We have not received bank statement/
confirmation of balance for the balance lying in
current account with bank of '' 5.36 lakhs. In the
absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence,
we are unable to determine any possible impact
thereof on the loss for the year ended 31
March 2024 and on the carrying value of cash
and cash equivalents. Our opinion for the year
ended 31 March 2023 was modified in respect of
this matter.
d) We have been informed by the RP that certain
information including the minutes of the
meetings of the COC, and the outcome of certain
specific/ routine procedures carried out as part
of the IBC process are confidential in nature and
could not be shared with anyone other than the
COC and the Hon''ble NCLT. In the opinion of the
RP, the matter is highly sensitive, confidential
and may have adverse impact on the resolution
process. Accordingly, we are unable to comment
on the impact, if any, on the accompanying
standalone financial statements including
recognition, measurement and disclosures, that
may arise had we been provided access to the
above-mentioned information.
e) We draw attention to Note 48 of the standalone
financial statements wherein the Company has
acquired land and building including related
assets ("property") on lease from a subsidiary
company. The subsidiary company has defaulted
on loan taken against the property. The lender
has taken the possession of the property under
the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial
Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest
Act, 2002 ("SARFAESI"). The Company/ RP has
requested the lender to withdraw the possession
of the property citing the statutory provisions
of CIRP. In view of the above, we are unable to
comment on carrying value of Right of use assets
of '' 2,135.30 lakhs, security deposits/ advances
given '' 174.05 lakhs and corresponding lease
liabilities of '' 4,893.93 lakhs as at 31 March 2024,
and its consequential impact on the standalone
financial statements.
f) The Company has recognized net deferred tax
assets of '' 6,935.86 lakhs considering sufficient
taxable income would be available in future years
against which such deferred tax assets can be
utilized. Due to losses during the year and earlier
years and pendency of CIRP, it is uncertain that
the Company would achieve sufficient taxable
income in future against which such deferred
tax assets can be utilized. Accordingly, we are
unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
evidence to corroborate the Management''s / RP''s
assessment of recognition of deferred tax assets
as at 31 March 2024. Our opinion for the year
ended 31 March 2023 was modified in respect of
this matter.
g) i) The Company has outstanding loans,
trade receivables and other receivables
("receivables") of '' 8,046.73 lakhs (net of
provisions) as at 31 March 2024, which are
overdue / rescheduled. The management
/ RP envisages the same to be good and
recoverable. In view of long outstanding, we
are unable to assess whether adjustments
are necessary to the carrying value of
these outstanding receivables and the
consequential impact on the accompanying
standalone financial statements. Our
opinion for the year ended 31 March 2023
was modified in respect of this matter.
ii) As referred in Note 12 of the standalone
financial statements, the Company has
not provided interest income of '' 1,762.64
lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2024,
pending recoveries of long outstanding
loans (included in g(i) above).
h) The Company has not provided for interest
expense of '' 348.32 lakhs for the year ended 31
March 2024 and '' 1,199.75 lakhs upto 31 March
2024 on outstanding borrowings calculated
based on the basic rate of interest as per the
terms of the loan and claims received. Non
provision of interest is not in compliance with Ind
AS 23 "Borrowing Costs". Our opinion for the year
ended 31 March 2023 was modified in respect of
this matter.
i) The Company''s investment in subsidiary
companies of '' 1,297.71 lakhs are considered as
good and fully recoverable by the management/
RP, inspite of accumulated losses, complete
erosion of networth and liquidity constraints.
In the absence of sufficient and appropriate
evidence, we are unable to comment upon
adjustments, if any, that may be required to the
carrying values of these non-current investments
as per Ind AS 36 "Impairment of Assets", and
the consequential impact on the accompanying
standalone financial statements.
j) The Company has incurred net loss during the
year and has accumulated losses, its current
liabilities exceeding current assets resulting in
negative working capital and has defaulted in its
debt/ other obligations. Accordingly, there exists a
material uncertainty about the Company''s ability
to continue as a "Going Concern". The standalone
financial statements have been prepared by the
management/ RP assuming going concern basis
of accounting, for which we have not been able
to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the use of such assumption, based on
management''s/ RP''s assessment of the successful
outcome of the ongoing Resolution process,
with no adjustments having been made to the
carrying value of assets and liabilities and their
presentation and classification in the standalone
financial statements.
For the matters mentioned in paragraph (a)
to (j) above, we are unable to determine the
adjustments that are necessary in respect of
Company''s assets, liabilities as on Balance sheet
date, income and expenses for the year, cash
flow statement and related presentation and
disclosure in standalone financial statements,
so we disclaim to form any opinion on the
standalone financial statements.

''ANNEXURE A'' TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MT EDUCARE LIMITED
[Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ''Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements'' in the Independent Auditor''s Report of even date to the Members of MT Educare Limited on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018]
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of MT Educare Limited ("the 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.
Management''s 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) (the "Guidance Noteâ). 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 Act.
Auditors'' 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 and the Standards on Auditing, issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 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 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, 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of MT Educare Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s 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.
Auditor''s 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 "Guidance Note") 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.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosure in the Financial Statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the Financial
Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor consider internal control relevant to the
Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the Financial Statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

effectiveness of the entity''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
