Other Information
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Companyâs annual report, but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditorsâ report there on.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion there on.
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 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 other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Management and 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 state of affairs,
profit/loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow 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. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the
Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern , disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the 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.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorsâ Responsibility for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
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 auditorsâ 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.
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 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.
⢠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 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.
⢠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.
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 standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditorsâ 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.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgement, 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.
Revenue recognition (refer note 3.1 to the standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue from sale of residential and commercial units represents 55.53% of the total revenue from operations of the company. Revenue recognition - Fixed price development contracts The Company inter alia engages in fixed - price development contracts, where, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion computed as per the input method based on managementâs estimate of contract costs ( Refer Note 3.1 to the standalone financial statements). Measurement of revenue recorded over time which is dependent on the estimates of the costs to complete Revenue recognition involves significant estimates related to measurement of costs to complete for the projects. Revenue from projects is recorded based on managementâs assessment of the work completed, costs incurred and accrued and the estimate of the balance costs to complete. Due to the inherent nature of the projects and significant judgment involved in the estimate of costs to complete, there is risk of overstatement or understatement of revenue. At Year-end a significant amount of work in progress related to these contracts is recognized on the balance sheet. |
Our audit procedures on revenue recognition included the following; ⢠Evaluating that the companyâs revenue recognition accounting policies are in line with the applicable Accounting standards and their application to the key customer contracts including consistent application; Sales cut-off procedures for determination of revenue in the current reporting period. ⢠Scrutinizing all the revenue journal entries raised throughout the reporting period and comparing details of a sample of these journals, Which met certain risk-based criteria, with relevant underlying documentation; ⢠Conducting site visits during the year for selected projects to understand the scope and nature of the projects and to assess the progress of the projects and ⢠Considered the adequacy of the disclosures in note 2 & 3 to the standalone financial statement in respect of the judgment taken in recognizing revenue for residential and hospitality sector. In addition, we have the performed the following procedures: Revenue recognition prior to receipt of OC / similar approval and intimation to the customer ⢠Discussing and challenging key management judgments in interpreting contractual terms including obtaining in- house legal interpretations; ⢠Testing sample sales of units for projects with the underlying contracts, completion status and proceeds received from customers; ⢠Identified and tested operating effectiveness of key controls around approvals of contracts, milestone billing, intimation of possession letters / intimation |
|
of receipt of occupation certificate and controls over collection from customers; and ⢠We have obtained confirmations, on a sample basis, from major customers for selected projects to confirm revenue recognized during the year end, performing alternative procedures by comparing details with contracts , collection details and other underlying project related documentation for cases where confirmations are not received. |
|
|
Measurement of revenue recorded over time which is dependent on the estimates of the costs of complete Compared, on a sample basis, revenue transactions recorded during the year with the underlying contracts, progress reports, invoices raised on customers and collections in bank accounts and whether the related revenue had been recognized in accordance with the Companyâs revenue recognition policies; ⢠Identification and testing operating effectiveness of key controls over recording of actual costs incurred for the projects; ⢠Review of the costs to complete workings, comparing the costs to complete with the budgeted costs and inquiring into reasons for variance; and ⢠Sighting approvals for changes in budgeted costs with the rationale for the changes and assessment of contract costs to determine no revenue nature costs are taken to inventory. |
Inventories (refer note 11 to standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Inventories comprising of land, construction work in progress, food & beverages represent 33.23% of the Companyâs total assets. Assessing net realizable value The Company recognizes profit on each sale by reference to the overall project margin, which is the projected profit percentage for a phase that may comprise multiple units and can last a number of years. The recognition of profit is therefore dependent on the estimate of future selling prices and build costs including an allowance for risk. Further estimation uncertainty and exposure to cyclicality exists within the long term projects. Forecasts of future sales are dependent on market conditions, which can be difficult to predict and be influenced by political and economic factors. Inventory represents the capitalized project costs to date less amounts expensed on sales by reference to the aforementioned projections. It is held at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the latter also being based on the forecast for the project. As such inappropriate assumptions in these forecasts can impact the assessment of the carrying value of inventories. Further, due to their materiality in the context of total assets of the Company this is considered significant to our overall audit strategy and planning. |
Our audit procedures to assess the net realizable value (NRV) of inventories included the following: ⢠Discussion with the management to understand the basis of calculation and justification for the estimated recoverable amounts of the unsold units (âthe NRV assessmentâ); ⢠Evaluating the design and implementation of the Companyâs internal controls over the NRV assessment. Our evaluation included assessing whether the NRV assessment was prepared and updated by appropriate personnel of the Company and whether the key estimates, including estimated future selling prices and costs of completion for all property development projects, used in the NRV assessment, were discussed and challenged by management as appropriate; ⢠Evaluating the managementâs valuation methodology and assessing the key estimates, data inputs and assumptions adopted in the valuations, which included comparing expected future average selling prices with available market data such as recently transacted prices for similar properties located in the nearby vicinity of each property development project and the sales budget plans maintained by the Company; ⢠Re-performing the calculations of the NRV assessment and comparing the estimated construction costs to complete each development with the Companyâs updated budgets. |
Land Advances - (refer note 10 to the standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Assessment of recoverability of land advances Land advance represents a sizeable portion of the Companyâs total assets. Land advance represents the amount paid towards procurement of land parcels to be used in the future, for construction of residential projects. These advances are carried at cost less impairment losses, if any. These land advance will be converted into land parcels as per the terms of the underlying contract under which these land advances have been given. To assess the carrying value of land advances, these advances are tested for recoverability by the Company by comparing the valuation of land parcels in the same area for which land advances have been given. Further due to their materiality in the context of total assets of the company this is consider significant to our overall audit. |
Our audit procedures to assess the recoverability of land advances included the following; ⢠For our samples, verified the underlying agreements in possession of the Company, based on which land advances were given; ⢠Discussion with the management to understand their plan for conversation of these land advances into land parcels; and ⢠For our samples, verified the valuation reports of land stock. |
Investment in subsidiaries and loans to group companies (refer to note 8, 9 and 10 to the standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
The carrying amount of the investments in subsidiaries, held at cost represents 11.96%, to associate, represents 5.18% of the Companyâs total assets respectively. Recoverability of investment in subsidiary, joint ventures and an associate The Company has investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate company which are considered to be associated with significant risk in respect of valuation of such investments. These investments are carried at cost less any diminution in value of such investments. In addition, considering the materiality of the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate, vis-a-vis the total assets of the Company, this is considered to be significant to our overall audit strategy and planning. |
Recoverability of investment in subsidiary, joint ventures and an associate Our audit procedures included: ⢠Comparing the carrying amount of investments with the relevant subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate balance sheet to identify whether their net assets, being an approximation of their minimum recoverable amount, were in excess of their carrying amount and assessing whether those subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate have historically been profit-making; ⢠For the investments where the carrying amount exceeded the net asset value, comparing the carrying amount of the investment with the projected profitability based on approved business plans of the subsidiaries joint ventures and an associate; ⢠Considering the adequacy of disclosures in respect of the investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate. |
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Recoverability of loans to subsidiaries and joint ventures |
Recoverability of loans to subsidiaries and joint ventures |
|
The Company has extended loans to joint ventures and subsidiaries that are assessed for recoverability at each period end. Financial assets, which include current loans to joint ventures and subsidiaries aggregated to Rs.2624.67 lakhs at 31 March 2024. Due to the nature of the business in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to heightened risk in respect of the recoverability of the loans and advances granted to the aforementioned related parties. There is also judgment involved as to the recoverability of the working capital and project specific loans, Which rely on a number of property developments being completed over the time period specified in agreements. |
Our procedures included: ⢠We reviewed the controls in place for issuing new loans and evidenced the Board/MD approval obtained. We obtained managementâs assessment of the recoverability of the loans, which includes cash flow projections over the duration of the loans. These projections are based on underlying property development appraisals; ⢠We tested cash receipts received in relation to these loans during the year through to bank statement; and We have obtained independent confirmations to ensure completeness and existence of loans and advances held by related parties as on 31 March 2024. |

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.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Management and 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 state of affairs, profit/loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow 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. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern , disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 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.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorsâ Responsibility for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
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 auditorsâ 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.
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 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.
⢠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 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.
⢠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.
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 standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorsâ 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.

Revenue recognition (refer note 3.1 to the standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue from sale of residential and commercial units represents 65.70% of the total revenue from operations of the company. Revenue recognition - Fixed price development contracts The Company inter alia engages in fixed - price development contracts, where, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion computed as per the input method based on managementâs estimate of contract costs ( Refer Note 3.1 to the standalone financial statements). Measurement of revenue recorded over time which is dependent on the estimates of the costs to complete Revenue recognition involves significant estimates related to measurement of costs to complete for the projects. Revenue from projects is recorded based on managementâs assessment of the work completed, costs incurred and accrued and the estimate of the balance costs to complete. Due to the inherent nature of the projects and significant judgment involved in the estimate of costs to complete, there is risk of overstatement or understatement of revenue. At Year-end a significant amount of work in progress related to these contracts is recognized on the balance sheet. |
Our audit procedures on revenue recognition included the following; ⢠Evaluating that the companyâs revenue recognition accounting policies are in line with the applicable Accounting standards and their application to the key customer contracts including consistent application; Sales cut-off procedures for determination of revenue in the current reporting period. ⢠Scrutinizing all the revenue journal entries raised throughout the reporting period and comparing details of a sample of these journals, Which met certain risk-based criteria, with relevant underlying documentation; ⢠Conducting site visits during the year for selected projects to understand the scope and nature of the projects and to assess the progress of the projects and ⢠Considered the adequacy of the disclosures in note 2 & 3 to the standalone financial statement in respect of the judgment taken in recognizing revenue for residential and hospitality sector. In addition, we have the performed the following procedures: Revenue recognition prior to receipt of OC / similar approval and intimation to the customer ⢠Discussing and challenging key management judgments in interpreting contractual terms including obtaining in- house legal interpretations; ⢠Testing sample sales of units for projects with the underlying contracts, completion status and proceeds received from customers; |
|
⢠Identified and tested operating effectiveness of key controls around approvals of contracts, milestone billing, intimation of possession letters / intimation of receipt of occupation certificate and controls over collection from customers; and ⢠We have obtained confirmations, on a sample basis, from major customers for selected projects to confirm revenue recognized during the year end, performing alternative procedures by comparing details with contracts , collection details and other underlying project related documentation for cases where confirmations are not received. |
|
|
Measurement of revenue recorded over time which is dependent on the estimates of the costs of complete Compared, on a sample basis, revenue transactions recorded during the year with the underlying contracts, progress reports, invoices raised on customers and collections in bank accounts and whether the related revenue had been recognized in accordance with the Companyâs revenue recognition policies; ⢠Identification and testing operating effectiveness of key controls over recording of actual costs incurred for the projects; ⢠Review of the costs to complete workings, comparing the costs to complete with the budgeted costs and inquiring into reasons for variance; and ⢠Sighting approvals for changes in budgeted costs with the rationale for the changes and assessment of contract costs to determine no revenue nature costs are taken to inventory. |
Inventories (refer note 11 to standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Inventories comprising of land, construction work in progress, food & beverages represent 32.58% of the Companyâs total assets. Assessing net realizable value The Company recognizes profit on each sale by reference to the overall project margin, which is the projected profit percentage for a phase that may comprise multiple units and can last a number of years. The recognition of profit is therefore dependent on the estimate of future selling prices and build costs including an allowance for risk. Further estimation uncertainty and exposure to cyclicality exists within the long term projects. Forecasts of future sales are dependent on market conditions, which can be difficult to predict and be influenced by political and economic factors. Inventory represents the capitalized project costs to date less amounts expensed on sales by reference to the aforementioned projections. It is held at the lower of cost |
Our audit procedures to assess the net realizable value (NRV) of inventories included the following: ⢠Discussion with the management to understand the basis of calculation and justification for the estimated recoverable amounts of the unsold units (âthe NRV assessmentâ); ⢠Evaluating the design and implementation of the Companyâs internal controls over the NRV assessment. Our evaluation included assessing whether the NRV assessment was prepared and updated by appropriate personnel of the Company and whether the key estimates, including estimated future selling prices and costs of completion for all property development projects, used in the NRV assessment, were discussed and challenged by management as appropriate; ⢠Evaluating the managementâs valuation methodology and assessing the key estimates, data inputs and assumptions adopted in the valuations, which included comparing expected future average selling prices with available market data such as |
|
and net realizable value, the latter also being based on the forecast for the project. As such inappropriate assumptions in these forecasts can impact the assessment of the carrying value of inventories. Further, due to their materiality in the context of total assets of the Company this is considered significant to our overall audit strategy and planning. |
recently transacted prices for similar properties located in the nearby vicinity of each property development project and the sales budget plans maintained by the Company; ⢠Re-performing the calculations of the NRV assessment and comparing the estimated construction costs to complete each development with the Companyâs updated budgets. |
Land Advances - (refer note 10 to the standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Assessment of recoverability of land advances Land advance represents a sizeable portion of the Companyâs total assets. Land advance represents the amount paid towards procurement of land parcels to be used in the future, for construction of residential projects. These advances are carried at cost less impairment losses, if any. These land advance will be converted into land parcels as per the terms of the underlying contract under which these land advances have been given. To assess the carrying value of land advances, these advances are tested for recoverability by the Company by comparing the valuation of land parcels in the same area for which land advances have been given. Further due to their materiality in the context of total assets of the company this is consider significant to our overall audit. |
Our audit procedures to assess the recoverability of land advances included the following; ⢠For our samples, verified the underlying agreements in possession of the Company, based on which land advances were given; ⢠Discussion with the management to understand their plan for conversation of these land advances into land parcels; and ⢠For our samples, verified the valuation reports of land stock. |
Investment in subsidiaries and loans to group companies (refer to note 8, 9 and 10 to the standalone financial statements)
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
The carrying amount of the investments in subsidiaries, held at cost represents 11.34%, to associate, represents 4.91% of the Companyâs total assets respectively. Recoverability of investment in subsidiary, joint ventures and an associate The Company has investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate company which are considered to be associated with significant risk in respect of valuation of such investments. These investments are carried at cost less any diminution in value of such investments. In addition, considering the materiality of the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate, vis-a-vis the total assets of the Company, this is considered to be significant to our overall audit strategy and planning. |
Recoverability of investment in subsidiary, joint ventures and an associate Our audit procedures included: ⢠Comparing the carrying amount of investments with the relevant subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate balance sheet to identify whether their net assets, being an approximation of their minimum recoverable amount, were in excess of their carrying amount and assessing whether those subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate have historically been profit-making; ⢠For the investments where the carrying amount exceeded the net asset value, comparing the carrying amount of the investment with the projected profitability based on approved business plans of the subsidiaries joint ventures and an associate; ⢠Considering the adequacy of disclosures in respect of the investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate. |
|
The key Audit Matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |

Recoverability of loans to subsidiaries and joint ventures The Company has extended loans to joint ventures and subsidiaries that are assessed for recoverability at each period end. Financial assets, which include current loans to joint ventures and subsidiaries aggregated to Rs 1718.86 lakhs at 31 March 2023 Due to the nature of the business in the real estate industry, the Company is exposed to heightened risk in respect of the recoverability of the loans and advances granted to the aforementioned related parties. There is also judgment involved as to the recoverability of the working capital and project specific loans, Which rely on a number of property developments being completed over the time period specified in agreements. |
Recoverability of loans to subsidiaries and joint ventures Our procedures included: ⢠We reviewed the controls in place for issuing new loans and evidenced the Board/MD approval obtained. We obtained managementâs assessment of the recoverability of the loans, which includes cash flow projections over the duration of the loans. These projections are based on underlying property development appraisals; ⢠We tested cash receipts received in relation to these loans during the year through to bank statement; and We have obtained independent confirmations to ensure completeness and existence of loans and advances held by related parties as on 31 March 2023. |

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial 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 of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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, the company has, in all material respect, an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at march 31,2018,based on â 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.

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 over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs 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 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 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 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, 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 âthe 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 Indiaâ.

Prajay Engineers Syndicate Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31,2015 and the Statement of Profit and Loss

significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated

to the preparation of these standalone 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
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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.
Auditor's responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on my audit. I have taken into account the
provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and
matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's
preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion on the standalone
financial statements.
Opinion
In my opinion and to the best of my information and according to the
explanations given to me, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as

stated therein.
c) Note 24 and 25, in respect of recognizing profit on construction
project under an agreement to sell, stage of completion is determined
as a proportion that contract costs incurred for the work performed
bear to the estimated total costs. Similarly contract revenue is
recognized under the percentage of completion method measured by survey
of work performed. Further, expected loss on contracts is recognized
when it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed the total
contract revenue. This practice is being consistently followed by the
Company. For this purpose, total project/contract costs incurred, and
cost to completion of projects/contracts which is arrived at by the
management based on current technical data, forecast and estimate of
net expenditure to be incurred in future including for contingencies,
etc, which being technical matters have been relied upon by me.

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for

costs incurred for the work performed bear to the estimated total
costs. Similarly contract revenue is recognized under the percentage of
completion method measured by survey of work performed. Further,

total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue. This
practice is being consistently followed by the Company. For this
purpose, total project/contract costs incurred, and cost to completion
