Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. The company has an investment in unquoted shares of BVM Finance Pvt. Ltd. Whose carrying value is Rs.
1,00,00,000 as at March 31,2025. However, as per the latest available audited financials of the investee company
as at March 31, 2023, the net worth of the company has been negative end is under CIRP. However, the company
has not recognized the effect of the same in its Statement of the Profit and Loss. Hence, the loss for the period is
understated to that extent.
We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (âSAsâ), as specified
under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the âAuditorâs
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statementsâ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in
accordance with the âCode of Ethicsâ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and ICAlâs
Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our qualified audit opinion on the Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Financial Statements for 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. In addition to the matter described in the âBasis for Qualified Opinionâ section, we have
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the âAuditorâs responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statementsâ
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures

The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs
Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include
the Financial Statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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.
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 Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in
accordance with the Ind AS and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 the 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.
In preparing the Financial Statements, the 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 going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors 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 Companyâs financial reporting process
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud
is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal 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 system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
Related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of 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 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 Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, make it
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating
the results of our work: and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be
thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Financial Statements 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.

invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the
Funding Party (âUltimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of
the Ultimate Beneficiaries.
(c) Based on such audit procedures that we have considered reasonable and appropriate in the
circumstances, nothing has come to our notice that has caused me to believe that the representations
under both sub-clauses mentioned above contain any material mis-statement.
v. The company has not proposed or declared any dividend during the year.
vi. Based on our examination which included test checks, the company has used an accounting software
for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (editlog) facility and the
same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the accounting software.
Further, during the course of our audit we did not come across any instance of audit trail feature being
tampered and preserved by the company in compliance with the applicable statutory requirements for
record retention.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PRISM FINANCE
LIMITED ("the company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st
March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement
for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements :
The company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of the company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility :
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We 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
thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we 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 the 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. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial
statements.
Opinion :
