1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of
PTC India Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Standalone Statement of Profit
and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash
Flows for the year ended on that date and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âthe standalone
financial statementsâ).
2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give
the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the
âActâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the
Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its profit
(including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in
equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
3. We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 Standalone Financial
Statementsâ section of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (âICAIâ) 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
ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
4. We draw your attention to Note 5A to the standalone financial statements
regarding approval by the shareholders of the Company, in meeting
dated March 28, 2024, for the disinvestment of the Companyâs entire
shareholding in its wholly owned subsidiary, PTC Energy Limited (PEL).
The disinvestment was subject to receipt of necessary regulatory approvals,
consents, permissions, fulfilment of conditions precedent, and other
required sanctions. Accordingly, the investment in PEL was classified as
âassets held for saleâ as at March 31, 2024.
Upon completion of the conditions precedent to the transaction, the
Company transferred its entire shareholding in PEL to ONGC Green
Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ONGC, on March 04, 2025. As
per the terms of the bid, the Company received total sales consideration
of 0 1,175.75 Crores (net of costs to sell) and consequently recorded a
profit of 0 521.63 Crores as âExceptional Itemsâ in the standalone financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2025.
5. We draw your attention to Note 50(j) to the standalone financial
statements which states that, the composition of Board of the Company is
not in accordance with the requirement of SEBI (LODR), 2015 in terms of
minimum number of independent directors from January 13, 2025 due to
appointment of a whole- time director w.e.f. January 13, 2025.
6. We draw your attention to Note 50(i) to the standalone financial statements
which states that, the audited standalone & consolidated financial
statements of the company for the year ended March 31, 2024 have not
been adopted by the Shareholders. The Company has filed unadopted
audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 with the
Registrar of Companies in October 2024 in accordance with Section 137 of
the Companies Act, 2013. The Company believes that the aforesaid matter
does not impact the standalone financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2025.
Our opinion on standalone financial statements of the company is not
modified in respect of matters mentioned in paras 4 to 6 above.
Key Audit Matters
7. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were
of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements
for the year ended March 31, 2025. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs
Report thereon
8. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of
the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The other
information as stated above is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditorâs report.
9. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the
other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
10. In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
11. When we read the other information as stated above and if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements
12. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in
section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and
other 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 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.
13. In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is
responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
14. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs
financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
15. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with Standards on Auditing 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.
16. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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 these standalone
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;
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

issued by the Central Government of India in terms of section 143(11) of

section 197 of the Act.
i) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditorâs

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

4. We draw your attention to Note 50(j) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, the Company has a material subsidiary PTC India Financial Services Limited (PFSL) in which the Company has total investment of '' 754.77 Crores. The Statutory Auditor of PFSL has issued qualified opinion on 03 matters which are fully described in Note 50(k)(i), (ii) & (iv) to the Standalone Financial Statements and are mainly related with payment/reimbursement of personal expenses of '' 0.497 Crores, strengthening of internal control system, Corporate Governance related issues and matters related with resignation of independent directors in previous years. As per the Statutory Auditor of PFSL, the impact of these matters on PFSL, is presently unascertainable.
5. We draw your attention to Note 50(l)(i) to the Standalone Financial Statements regarding resignation of three independent directors of the Company w.e.f. December 05, 2022 and resignation of one independent director w.e.f. December 06, 2022 wherein they have raised issues related to corporate governance and compliance, divergent views of Board members and non-implementation of recommendations in respect of Risk Management Committee (RMC) report of the Company, calling meetings at short notice and few other matters as detailed in their respective resignation letters filed by the Company with the stock exchanges.
The Board of the Company has noted these resignation letters and the managementâs replies thereon in its meetings dated December 6, 2022 and December 7, 2022. Further, the Company has rebutted these claims and has submitted the clarifications on the issues raised by these independent directors to the stock exchanges on December 8, 2022.
6. We draw your attention to Note 50(l)(ii) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, the Company has received emails dated June 22, 2023 and July 10, 2023 from SEBI asking data/information from the Company regarding certain matters, mainly related with the process of the appointment of its Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) and matters mentioned in Note 50(l)(i) of the Standalone Financial Statements. The Board constituted a Sub-Committee of the directors on June 30, 2023 to look into the matters relating to the communication received from SEBI on June 22, 2023 and related aspects and to suggest further course of action.

There is no further communication in this regard.
7. We draw your attention to Note 5A to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, the Shareholders of the Company, at their meeting held on March 28, 2024, have approved the disinvestment by way of sale, transfer or otherwise dispose off, its entire shareholding in the wholly owned subsidiary viz. PTC Energy Limited (PEL) to Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) or its associate companies, not being a related party, subject to regulatory approvals and such other consents, approvals, permissions, fulfilment of conditions precedent to the transaction and sanctions as may be necessary at a value of '' 925 Crores (Enterprise Value of '' 2,021 Crores, i.e. sum of outstanding debt and equity value), subject to adjustments in the abovementioned bid value on the date of closure of transaction as per the bid format.
The Management of the Company has assessed the conditions prescribed by Ind AS 105 âNon-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operationsâ for classification of investment as âassets held for saleâ. Accordingly, the investment in PEL has been classified as âassets held for saleâ in the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company.
8. We draw your attention to Note 6(a) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, the Company has investment in the equity shares ( 5.62 %) of Sikkim Urja Limited (Formerly known as Teesta Urja Limited) (SUL). SUL owns a Hydro Electric Project of 1,200 MW capacity in the state of Sikkim. On October 4, 2023, flash flood in Sikkim arising out of a cloud burst, which has been declared as a disaster by Government of Sikkim under the Disaster Management Act 2005 vide Notification No. 399/ LR&DMD/GoS dated October 4, 2023, caused extensive damage to the abovementioned project.
Based on the available information and best estimation of the management, the Company has measured the fair value of its investment in SUL amounting to '' 99.03 Crores as on March 31, 2024. Accordingly, the carrying value of its investment in SUL, in the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company has reduced to '' 99.03 Crores as on March 31, 2024 from '' 221.10 Crores as on March 31, 2023 and the resultant impact of '' 122.08 Crores has been accounted for in Other Comprehensive
Income during the year ended March 31, 2024- Since the present situation is dynamic in nature, valuation shall be reviewed on quarterly basis as more definitive information is available with the Company from time to time.
9- We draw your attention to Note 35 to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, the Company had filed an appeal with the Honâble Supreme Court in 2014 against the Honâble APTELâs Order dated April 4, 2013, which required the Company to pay the compensation (along with simple interest @ 6% p.a.) to the power supplier due to the non-offtake of power by the Company as per the âTake or Payâ clause of the arrangement. As per the Courtâs directions, the Company deposited '' 20.85 Crores (50% of the compensation) with the supplier in April 2013. The Honâble Supreme Court vide order dated October 27, 2014 admitted the case and directed the parties to maintain status quo. As per the legal opinion obtained, the Company has a good case. Considering there is no movement in the matter and the last hearing in the Honâble Supreme Court was taken place in April 2016, as an abundant caution, during the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has created a provision of '' 20.48 Crores against the amount deposited with the supplier and disclosed the same as an exceptional item in the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company.
10. We draw your attention to Note 50(l)(iii) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, the composition of Board of the Company was not in accordance with the requirement of SEBI (LODR), 2015 in terms of minimum number of independent directors from April 01, 2023 to April 12, 2023 and January 18, 2024 to May 5, 2024. The Company has appointed required independent director on May 6, 2024 and its Board Composition is in compliance with SEBI (LODR), 2015 w.e.f. May 06, 2024.
11. We draw your attention to Note 50(l)(iv) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, based on a review of legal expenses incurred by the Company, the Audit Committee in its meeting dated June 06, 2024 has recommended that an expert agency shall examine the services provided by an advocate in respect of which the Company had incurred expenses of '' 0.55 Crores (excluding GST) and ascertain as to whether these services were provided for the purposes of the Company. The expert agency shall submit its report to the Audit Committee by June 17, 2024.
Our opinion on standalone financial statements of the company is not modified in respect of matters mentioned in paras 4 to 11 above.
Key Audit Matters
12. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs
Report thereon
13. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The other information as stated above is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
14. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
15. In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
16. When we read the other information as stated above and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements
17. The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other 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 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.
18. In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
19. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
20. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing 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.
21. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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 these standalone 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. Oui 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;
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. 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 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.

PTC India Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of PTC India Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2023, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âthe standalone financial statementsâ).
2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the âActâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2023, and its profit (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
3. We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ) 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 ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
4. We draw your attention to Note 50(k)(i) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that, on 19th January 2022, three independent directors of PTC India Financial Services Limited (âPFSâ), a subsidiary of the Company, had resigned, mentioning lapses in corporate governance and compliance. To address the issues raised by independent directors who had resigned, on 4th November 2022, the Forensic auditor appointed by PFS, submitted its forensic audit report (FAR). PFS engaged a reputed professional services firm to independently review its managementâs response submitted in FAR and documents supporting such response and commenting on such observations, including financial implications and any indication towards suspected fraud. PFS managementâs responses and remarks of professional services firm, together with the report of the forensic auditor, had been presented by the PFSâ management to its Board in its meetings held on 7th November 2022 and 13th November 2022 and the PFSâ Board observed that forensic auditor has not identified any event having material impact on the financials of PFS and has not identified any instance of fraud and/ or diversion of funds by PFS. Presently, communications /correspondences are going on with SEBI, Stock exchanges, RBI and ROC on the matters stated in resignation letters referred above and/or the Forensic audit report. Pursuant to the direction of RBI vide its letter dated 6th January 2023, Board of directors of PFS in its meeting held on 3rd February 2023 has revisited the findings of the FAR
and again took on record that the forensic auditor had not identified any event having material impact on the financials of PFS and also have not identified any instances of fraud and diversion of funds by PFS and/or by its employees. Registrar of Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, NCT of Delhi & Haryana (ROC) has issued four show-cause notices (SCNs) dated 14 th February 2023 and 16 th February 2023 to PFS and its KMPs for non-compliances of the provisions of Section 149(8), 177(4)(v) & (vii) and 178 of the Companies Act, 2013 and PFS has submitted its replies on 14th & 17th March 2023 and 24th April 2023 denying the non-compliances mentioned in above SCNs and has prayed to the ROC for withdrawal of these SCNs which is pending. The management of PFS believes that there will be no material financial impact of the same on the state of affairs of
PFS.
5. We draw your attention to Note 50(k)(ii) to the Standalone Financial Statements regarding resignation of two independent directors of PFS w.e.f. 2nd December 2022 mentioning various concerns which includes the matters raised by the earlier independent directors of PFS who have resigned on 19th January 2022, concerns related to conduct and outcome of forensic audit, divergent views of the directors and management on the outcome of forensic audit report, meetings called at short notice/ without adequate notice, violation of SEBI directive regarding change in Board composition, submission of proposal for grant of facilities to the Business Committee/ Board during the period after April 2022 which were not in compliance with the extant policy laid down by the Board and certain other matters as detailed in their resignation letters filed by PFS with the stock exchanges. PFS has rebutted these claims and submitted its reply with the stock exchanges and Reserve Bank of India and in this regard, presently, communications/ correspondences are going on and PFSâ management believes that there will be no material financial impact of the same on the state of affairs of PFS.
6. We draw your attention to Note 50(k)(iii) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that the certain pending minutes of meetings of Audit Committee and IT Strategy Committee of PFS held since 8th April 2022 till 14th November 2022 have been finalized, basis recordings/ videos of such meeting and in this regard, a certificate from an external legal expert has been taken on record. Further, these minutes have been signed by the current chairman(s) of the respective committees of PFS. The management of PFS believes that the relevant provisions of Companies Act 2013 have been complied with and there will be no material financial impact on the state of affairs of PFS.
7. We draw your attention to Note 50(l)(i) to the Standalone Financial Statements regarding resignation of three independent directors of the Company w.e.f. 5th December 2022 and resignation of one independent director w.e.f. 6th December 2022 wherein they have raised issues related to corporate governance and compliance, divergent views of Board members and non-implementation of recommendations in respect of RMC report of the Company, calling meetings at short notice and certain other matters as detailed in their resignation letters filed by the Company with the stock exchanges.
The Board of the Company has noted these resignation letters and the managementâs replies thereon in its meetings dated 6th December and 7th December 2022. Further, the Company has rebutted these claims and has submitted the clarifications on the issues raised by these independent directors to the stock exchanges on 8th December 2022. The Company has not received any further communication in this regard.
8. We draw your attention to Note 50(l)(ii) to the Standalone Financial Statements which states that due to the resignation of four independent directors of the company, the composition of Board of the Company was not in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations in terms of minimum number of independent directors. The Company has appointed
requisite number of independent directors by 13th April 2023 and hence, its Board composition is now in compliance with the Regulations.
9. We draw your attention to Note 50(k)(iv) to the Standalone financial Statements regarding the Show Cause Notice (SCN) dated 8th May 2023 sent by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD & CEO) and Non-Executive Chairman of PFS, on matters of Corporate Governance issues raised by Independent Directors of PFS, who resigned on 19th January 2022 and 2nd December 2022, as detailed in Note 50(k)(i) and Note 50(k)(ii), under Sections 11(1), 11(4), 11(4A), 11B(l) and 11B(2) read with section 15HB of the SEBI, 1992 read with SEBI (Procedure for Holding Inquiry and Imposing Penalties) Rules, 1995. In this regard, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of PFS have noted and taken on record that the above stated SCN, which have been issued by SEBI to the MD & CEO and the Non-Executive Chairman of PFS, is in their individual name/capacity (addressed to). Presently, as informed, MD & CEO and the Non-Executive Chairman both are in the process of preparing replies (also in process of compiling all required data/ records/information/details). PFS believes that the issues raised in SCN will be resolved on submission of detailed evidence/ information/ replies/details by the MD & CEO and the NonExecutive Chairman and there will be no financial implications/ impact on this account on the state of affairs of PFS and the same has been noted and taken on record by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of PFS in their respective meetings held on 18th May 2023.
10. Our opinion on standalone financial statements of the company is not modified in respect of matters mentioned in paras 4 to 9 above.

Such reconciliation statements are signed by the company and utilities from time to time during every year.

To do this: ⢠We assessed the ageing of trade receivables, dispute with customers, the past payment and credit history of the customer. ⢠We evaluated evidence from the legal and external expertsâ reports on contentious matters. ⢠We assessed the profile of trade receivables and the economic environment applicable to these customers. ⢠We considered the historical accuracy of forecasting the allowance for impairment of trade receivables. |

Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
19. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing 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.
20. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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 these standalone 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;
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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 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.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of PTC India Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2022, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âthe standalone financial statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the âActâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2022, and its profit (including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ) 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 ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
We draw your attention to Note 50 (k) to the standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended 31st March 2022 regarding resignation of three Independent Directors (ID) of PTC India Financial Services Limited (PFS, Subsidiary of PTC India Limited) on 19th January 2022 mentioning lapses in governance and compliance, SEBIâs direction to the Company to examine the allegations and come-up with its conclusion and review of report of Risk Management Committee (RMC) by the Board of Directors.
We also draw your attention to Note 50 (l) to the standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended 31st March 2022 mentioning that Regulation 33(3) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015 requires that if a listed entity has subsidiaries, it shall, while submitting annual audited standalone financial results also submit annual audited consolidated financial results to stock exchanges. PTC India Financial Services Limited (PFS) vide its letter dated May 30, 2022 informed the stock exchanges that it shall publish the financial results for the quarter and financial year ended 31 March, 2022 on completion of the forensic audit at the earliest. Therefore, the Company could not prepare the annual consolidated financial results due to non-availability of annual audited financial results of PFS. As the completion of audit of PFS may take time, the Company is publishing and submitting to stock exchanges its annual standalone financial results and to ensure complete compliance of Regulation 33(3) SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulations, 2015, it would publish and submit to stock exchanges its annual consolidated financial results after the financial results of PFS is received.
Our opinion on standalone financial statements of the company is not modified in respect of abovementioned matters.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2022. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter |
How our audit addressed the matter |
|
Reconciliation and Impairment of Trade Receivables and Assessment of reasonable certainty regarding surcharge income/expenses The reconciliation and recoverability of trade receivables, the level of provisions for doubtful trade receivable and the assessment of reasonable certainty regarding surcharge income/expenses involves significant judgements by the management due to customer specific contractual arrangements. The Company determines the reasonable certainty regarding recoverability of surcharge income and corresponding expenses based on historical experience, reconciliation and confirmation of the surcharge income from the parties. Further, the Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions, customer specific contractual arrangements and corresponding amount payable to generator viz a viz amount recoverable from the parties. The Company also considers current and anticipated future economic conditions relating to industry the Company deals with. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company also considers the probability of default in future and estimates of possible effect from the pandemic relating to Covid-19. |
Principal Audit Procedures In order to assess the recoverability and impairment of trade receivables and testing of management estimates regarding reasonable certainty for surcharge income/expenses, we performed following procedures: ⢠We evaluated the Co mpanyâs credit control procedures and assessed and validated the ageing profile of trade receivables. ⢠We assessed the pending surcharge income recoverable and corresponding amount payable, ageing and past trend of the recoveries against surcharge by the parties and the status of reconciliation with the parties. ⢠We assessed recoverability on a sample basis by reference to cash received subsequent to year-end, agreement to the terms of the contract in place. ⢠We reviewed the system of reconciliation followed by the management with the State Electricity Utilities. Such reconciliation statements are signed by the company and utilities from time to time during every year. Where there were indicators that trade receivables were unlikely to be collected within contractual payment terms, we assessed the adequacy of the allowance for impairment of trade receivables. To do this: ⢠We assessed the ageing of trade receivables, dispute with customers, the past payment and credit history of the customer. ⢠We evaluated evidence from the legal and external expertsâ reports on contentious matters. |

How our audit addressed the matter |

⢠We assessed the profile of trade receivables and the economic environment applicable to these customers. ⢠We considered the historical accuracy of forecasting the allowance for impairment of trade receivables. |
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The other information as stated above is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditorâs report.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information as stated above and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other 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 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 is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities 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 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 Standards on Auditing 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 Standards on Auditing, 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 these standalone 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 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.
Other Matter
The standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2021 were audited by another auditor whose report dated 24th June 2021 expressed an unmodified opinion on those standalone financial statements. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of PTC INDIA LIMITED (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on, 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 India (ICAI)â. These responsibilities include the design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10)of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 auditorâs 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 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on, 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.

These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10)of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 auditorâs 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 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 in adequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 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.

ANNEXURE-A TO THE DIRECTORS REPORT
COMMENTS OF THE COMPTROLLER AND COMPANYS REPLY
AUDITOR GENERAL OF INDIA UNDER SECTION
619(4) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 1956 ON THE
ACCOUNTS OF POWER TRADING CORPORATION
OF INDIA LIMITED FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2003.
Balance Sheet
Notes to the Accounts (Schedule J)
Note No. 7
Two state electricity boards while releasing payments have deducted
rebates amounting to Rs. 149 lakh, which were not due to them as the
payments were not made within stipulated period. Above Note stated,
inter alia, that the Company has not considered the deducted amount as
income due to uncertainty in realisation of the same. However, it is
observed that the Company has accounted for the inadmissible rebates as
income under the head electricity sales as well as expenditure under
the head rebates on sale of power.
In fact, the Company should have accounted for the inadmissible rebate
as claims recoverable instead of booking the same under the head
expenditure and made a provision to reflect the uncertainty in
realising the amount in accordance with Accounting Standard 9.
The company, as is evident from its Profit & Loss Account, maintains
separate account for Sales as also Rebate Allowed on Sale of Power.
The rebate is given for timely payment and as such is in the nature of
"Expense" and not "Income".
In the Notes on Accounts, it was mentioned that if the rebate wrongly
claimed was paid by these Electricity Boards, the same would be
accounted for as and when received.
Credit for this amount through Sundry Debtors was not taken following
the conservative approach of not accounting for a receipt which was yet
to come especially in view of the uncertainty of such a receipt. By
accounting for this amount, the profit would go up correspondingly.
The company could not have created the provision in terms of Accounting
Standard 9 as the amounts did not pertain to Sales but to Rebate
where "Rebate claimed and accounted for as expense" have occurred
simultaneously and not subsequent to each other.
