We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial
Statements of PVP Ventures Limited (hereinafter referred to as
"the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31
March 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows
and the Statement of Changes in Equity, for the year then
ended, and a summary of the material accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the
Standalone Financial Statements").
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 ("the Act") in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standard) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("the Rules") and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state
of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its loss,
total comprehensive loss, its cash flows and changes in equity
for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibility
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 ("ICAI") 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 made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and
the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence
obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
a) We draw attention to Note No. 61 of the Standalone
Financial Statements which highlights that, Corporation
Finance Investigation Department ("Investigation
department") of Securities and Exchange Board of India
("SEBI") has issued summons under Section 11C of SEBI
Act, 1992, to the Company, Chief Executive Officer and
the Managing Director for production of documents
before the Investigating Authority. The summons were
issued relating to loans and investments extended to
the erstwhile subsidiaries (currently related party) - PVP
Global Ventures Private Limited and PVP Media Ventures
Private Limited and Wholly owned subsidiary - Safetrunk
Services Private Limited. As stated in the said note, the
Management has duly responded to the said summons
and is confident of a favourable outcome.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
b) We draw attention to Note No. 51 & Note No. 52 of
the Standalone Financial Statements, w.r.t interest
free secured loan provided to New Cyberabad City
Projects Private Limited (NCCPL) erstwhile subsidiary
and currently a related party of the Company and the
corresponding accounting. Principal amount of Rs.
21,843.49 Lakhs is outstanding from the said party as
at 31 March 2025. The Management of the Company
is confident of recovering the loan within the extended
tenor duly factoring in the future business plans of the
related party and considering positive developments
w.r.t ongoing litigations as highlighted in the said note.
Further the Company is guaranteed 50% payout from the
revenues generated in excess of the loan outstanding,
out of the sale/development of the aforesaid properties
as per the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) as indicated
in the aforesaid note. Accordingly, the Management of
the Company believes that neither is there a necessity to
charge interest on the loans advanced nor a requirement
to create an allowance for expected credit loss
Based on the internal assessment/ professional opinion
received, the Company believes that the provisions
of Section 186 of the Act in respect of loans, making
investments, providing guarantees and the securities
are not applicable to the Company as it involved on the
business of providing infrastructural facilities, except for
Section 186(1) of the Act.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
c) We draw attention to Note No. 48 of the Standalone
Financial Statements, which is related to the sale of
Company''s erstwhile subsidiary, i.e NCCPL to Picturehouse
Media Limited ("PHML"), related party of the Company, for
an amount of Rs. 3,256.44 Lakhs out of which an amount
of Rs. 2,800 Lakhs remains outstanding from PHML as at 31
March 2025. As stated in the said note, the Management
is confident of receiving the amount within the stipulated/
agreed period and there is no necessity to create an
allowance for expected credit loss despite PHML having
negative Net worth, continuing losses and no significant
business activity being carried out by the said related party,
considering the business plans of its subsidiary, NCCPL and
considering positive developments w.r.t ongoing litigations
as highlighted in (b) above.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
d) We draw attention to Note No. 40 of the Standalone
Financial Statements, w.r.t appeals which have been
filed w.r.t various Income Tax (IT), Goods and Service Tax
(GST), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and
Stamp Duty matters are pending adjudication with the
appellate authorities. The Company has been advised that
it has a good case to support its stand and no provision is
required to be created in this regard.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
e) We draw attention to Note No. 46 of the Standalone
Financial Statements, regarding management
assessment w.r.t applicability of the provisions of Section
135 of the Act and rules thereon towards Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) expenditure for the year ended 31
March 2024. The Company is in the process of quantifying
its liability considering legal interpretations around the
computation of profits under Section 198 of the Act on
the basis of which the CSR spend is computed. While the
Company has created a provision during the current year
ended 31 March 2025, based on the estimated maximum
amount to be spent, the actual spend could vary based
on legal/ professional discussions being carried out in
this regard. Any adjustment to such an amount would
be carried out upon finalization of the assessment in
this regard and when such amount is finally remitted.
Further the Management is of the view that, penalty
which might arise on account of non-compliance, if any,
shall be dealt with as and when it arises and the same is
quantified/ levied by the respective regulatory authority.
The Management believes such non-compliance shall not
have a material impact on the Financial Statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
f) We draw attention to Note no. 50 of the Standalone
Financial statements, which is w.r.t acquisition of Humain
Health Tech Private Limited ("HHT") from PV Potluri
Ventures Private Limited, related party of the Company for
an amount of Rs. 2,249.60 Lakhs. Further, the Company has
provided a loan amounting to Rs. 2,215.03 Lakhs to support
the operations of the subsidiary/ repayment of existing
debt towards PV Potluri Ventures Private Limited (erstwhile
Holding Company of HHT) and other related parties which
has been classified as Deemed Investments aggregating to
a total investment amount of Rs. 4,464.63 Lakhs. As stated
in the said note considering the future business projections
and estimated cash flows of the subsidiary, the Company
carried out impairment testing for the investment in HHT
as required by Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets. Based
on the report from an independent registered valuer, it was
determined that the recoverable amount is less than the
carrying value as on the reporting date. The Management
has created a provision for impairment of Rs. 669.69 Lakhs
which has been classified and presented as an exceptional
loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matter.
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, 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. We have determined the
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our Report.

the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Board''s Report including
Annexures thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis,
Report on Corporate Governance and Chairman''s
Statement but does not include the Standalone Financial
Statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
⢠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 and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone
Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during
the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
⢠If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this
auditor''s report, 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 Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these Standalone 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 accounting principles generally accepted
in India under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant
rules issued thereunder. 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; the selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and the 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 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
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless 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
Company''s financial reporting process.
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 Auditor''s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone
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 financial 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 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 Management''s use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the
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 auditor''s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue
as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the 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.
⢠Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the entity to express an opinion
on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone
Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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 Standalone
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 Standalone Financial Statements
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.

2020 ("the Order") issued by the Central Government of

g) With respect to the adequacy of the Internal Financial
Control over Financial Reporting of the Company and
operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to our
separate report in "Annexure B". Our report expresses
a Qualified opinion on the adequacy and operating
effectiveness of the Company''s internal financial controls
over financial reporting for the reasons stated therein.
h) With respect to the other matters to be included
in the Auditor''s Report in accordance with the
requirements of section 197(16) of the Act, as
amended, in our opinion and to the best of our
information and according to the explanations given
to us, the remuneration paid by the Company to its
directors during the year is in accordance with the
provisions of Section 197 of the Act.
The Company has proposed to pay remuneration
of Rs. 500 Lakhs to Mr. Prasad V. Potluri, Managing
Director, for the FY 2024-25. In accordance with
the provisions of Sections 197 and 198 of the Act,
the Company has incurred a loss for the said year;
accordingly, the remuneration is determined based
on the Effective Capital as prescribed under Schedule
V to the Act. The proposed remuneration is subject
to approval of the shareholders by way of a special
resolution in the upcoming Annual General Meeting
to be held in FY 2025-26. As at 31 March 2025, the
Company has accrued the remuneration expense
in the books of account. However, no payment has
been made to the Managing Director. Refer Note 53
to the Standalone Financial Statements.
i) With respect to the other matters to be included
in Auditor''s Report in accordance with Rule 11 of
the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, in
our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us:
i. The Company has disclosed the impact of
pending litigations as at 31 March 2025 on its
financial position in its Standalone Financial
Statements (Refer Note 40 to the Standalone
Financial Statements);
ii. The Company did not have any material
foreseeable losses on long-term contracts
including derivative contracts;
iii. There are no amounts which were required to
be transferred to the Investor Education and
Protection Fund by the Company.
iv. a) The Management has represented that,
to the best of its knowledge and belief,
no funds have been advanced or loaned
or invested (either from borrowed funds
or share premium or any other sources
or kind of funds) by the Company to or
in any other person or entity, including
foreign entity ("Intermediaries"), with
the understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary
shall, whether, directly or indirectly lend or
invest in other persons or entities identified
in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf
of the Company ("Ultimate Beneficiaries")
or provide any guarantee, security or the
like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
b) The Management has represented, that,
to the best of its knowledge and belief, no
funds have been received by the Company
from any person or entity, including
foreign entity ("Funding Parties"), with
the understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Company
shall, whether, directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever by or
on behalf of the Funding Party ("Ultimate
Beneficiaries") or provide any guarantee,
security or the like on behalf of the
Ultimate Beneficiaries;
c) Based on the audit procedures that
have been considered reasonable and
appropriate in the circumstances, nothing
has come to our notice that has caused
us to believe that the representations
provided under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of
Rule 11(e), as provided under (a) and (b)
above, contain any material misstatement.
v. The Board has not declared any dividend
during the year. Hence, reporting on whether
the same is in compliance with the provisions
of section 123 of the Act does not arise.
vi. Based on our examination, the Company uses
Tally Prime as its primary accounting software.
However, the Company has not implemented
the Audit trail feature (Edit log facility) in the
accounting software. Hence, neither was the
audit trail feature of the said software enabled
nor was it operating during the year for all
relevant transactions recorded in the software.
Accordingly, the requirement of examining
whether there were any instances of the audit
trail feature being tampered with and the
requirement of preservation of the same by the
Company as per the statutory requirements for
record retention, does not arise.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial StatementsOpinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of PVP Ventures Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity, for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Standalone Financial Statements").
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 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("the Rules") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2024, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and 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 (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibility 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 ("ICAI") 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 made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
a) We draw attention to Note No. 51 & 52 of the Standalone Financial Statements w.r.t the interest free secured loan
provided to New Cyberabad City Projects Private Limited ("NCCPL"), erstwhile subsidiary and currently a related party of the Company and the related accounting. An amount of Rs. 21,843.49 Lakhs is outstanding from the said party as at 31 March 2024. The Management is confident of recovering the loan within the extended tenor duly factoring in the future business plans of the related party, despite the challenges associated w.r.t recoverability of the loan, enforceability and market value of security as highlighted in the said note. Accordingly, the Management believes that there is no necessity to create an allowance for expected credit loss.
The provisions of Section 186(1) & 188 of the Act have been complied with to the extent applicable.
Based on internal assessment/ professional opinion received in this regard, the Company believes that the other provisions of Section 186 of the Act in respect to loans, making investments, providing guarantees and securities are not applicable to the Company as it is involved on the business of providing infrastructural facilities.
Further, the Company has complied with provisions of Section 185 of the Act in respect of loans to entities in which director is interested.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
b) We draw attention to Note No. 48 of the Standalone Financial Statements, which is related to the sale of Company''s erstwhile subsidiary NCCPL to Picturehouse Media Limited ("PHML"), related party of the Company, for an amount of Rs. 3,256.44 Lakhs out of which an amount of Rs. 2,880 Lakhs is due to be received from PHML as at 31 March 2024 stipulated to be recovered within a maximum period of 10 years. As stated in the said note, the Management is confident of receiving the amount within the stipulated/agreed period and there is no necessity to create an allowance for expected credit loss despite the related party having negative Net worth, continuing losses and no significant business activity being carried out by the said related party.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
c) We draw attention to Note No. 50 of the Standalone Financial Statements, w.r.t acquisition of Humain Healthtech Private Limited ("HHT") from PV Potluri Ventures Private Limited ("PV Potluri"), related party of the Company for an amount of Rs. 2,249.60 Lakhs. As stated in the said note considering the future business
projections, estimated cash flows of the subsidiary and the support intended to be provided by the Company, the Management believes that no impairment is required to be provided against the aforesaid investment.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
d) We draw attention to Note No. 35 of the Standalone Financial Statements w.r.t exceptional gain (net) amounting to Rs. 3,650.28 Lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2024 accounted pursuant to the divestment of subsidiaries.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
e) We draw attention to Note No. 44.3 of the Standalone Financial Statements w.r.t the balance lying in escrow account pending fulfillment of the conditions stipulated in Joint development agreement. As stated in the said note, Management believes that same is required to be accounted upon fulfillment of conditions stipulated in the Joint development agreement.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
f) We draw attention to Note No. 40.1(ii) of the Standalone Financial Statements w.r.t non-remittance of Income Tax liability for the financial year 2022-23 on account of challenges related to working capital and the corresponding interest cost accounted in the year ended
31 March 2024. However, the Management believes that the payment of outstanding tax liability along with the interest will be made upon receipt of advances from other joint developers/ receipt of interest free security deposit from a joint developer.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
g) We draw attention to Note No. 39 of the Standalone Financial Statements w.r.t Income Tax appeals which have been filed w.r.t various tax matters and are pending adjudication with the appellate authorities. Based on professional advice, the Company believes that it has a good case to support its stand and no provision is required to be created in this regard.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our Report.

PHML along with its subsidiaries (PVP Cinema Private Limited and PVP Capital Limited) have a negative net worth, incurring continuing losses and other related factors indicating the existence of material uncertainty that will cast significant doubt on PHML''s ability to continue as a going concern. However, considering NCCPL''s business plans to monetise the land banks by developing residential/ commercial properties, availability of market value of proxy land in the vicinity of the land over which development rights are available with NCCPL, estimated future cash flows which will be repatriated to PHML (Company of NCCPL). Based on this, the Management believes that it will be able to recover the sale consideration from PHML within the tenor of 10 years. The Company has carried the consideration receivable at amortized cost as at 31 March 2024 in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS-109 - Financial Instruments. Given the significant level of judgement involved and the quantitative significance, we have determined this to be a key audit matter. |

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
¦ The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management discussion and analysis, Board''s Report including annexures to Board''s Report and Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Management Discussion and Analysis, Boards'' report including the Annexures to the Board Report and Corporate Governance are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
¦ Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
¦ When we read the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including the Annexures to the Board Report and
Report on Corporate Governance, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 ''The Auditor''s responsibilities Relating to Other Information''.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standaione Financiai Statements that give a true and fair view of the financiai position, financiai performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and accounting principies generally accepted in India under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder. 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; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and the estimates that are reasonabie and prudent; and the design, impiementation and maintenance of adequate internal financiai controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standaione Financiai Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standaione Financiai Statements, Management and Board of Directors are responsibie for assessing the Company''s abiiity to continue as a going concern, disciosing, as appiicabie, matters reiated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting uniess the Board of Directors either intends to iiquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no reaiistic aiternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are aiso responsibie for overseeing the Company''s financiai reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonabie assurance about whether the Standaione Financiai Statements as a whoie are free from materiai misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor''s report that inciudes our opinion. Reasonabie assurance is a high ievei of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs wiii aiways detect a materiai misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materiai if, individuaiiy or in the aggregate, they couid reasonabiy be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standaione Financiai Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionai judgment and maintain professionai skepticism throughout the audit. We aiso:
¦ Identify and assess the risks of materiai misstatement of the Standaione Financiai 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 materiai misstatement resuiting from fraud is higher than for one resuiting from error, as fraud may invoive coiiusion, forgery, intentionai omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internai controi.
¦ Obtain an understanding of internai financiai controi reievant 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 aiso responsibie for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internai financiai controis with reference to Standaione Financiai Statements in piace and the operating effectiveness of such controis.
¦ Evaiuate the appropriateness of accounting poiicies used and the reasonabieness of accounting estimates and reiated disciosures made by Management.
¦ Conciude on the appropriateness of Management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materiai uncertainty exists reiated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s abiiity to continue as a going concern. If we conciude that a materiai uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the reiated disciosures in the Standaione Financiai Statements or, if such disciosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conciusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
¦ Evaiuate the overaii presentation, structure and content of the Standaione Financiai Statements, inciuding the disciosures, and whether the Standaione Financiai Statements represent the underiying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiaiity is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standaione Financiai Statements that, individuaiiy or in aggregate, makes it probabie that the economic decisions of a reasonabiy knowiedgeabie user of the Standaione Financiai Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiaiity and quaiitative factors in (i) pianning the scope of our audit work and in evaiuating the resuits of our work; and (ii) to evaiuate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standaione Financiai Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the pianned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, inciuding
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 auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

However, the Company has not implemented the Audit trail feature (Edit log facility) in the accounting software.

Accordingly, the requirement of examining whether there were any instances of the audit trail feature being tampered with and the requirement of preservation of the same by the Company as per the statutory requirements for record retention, does not arise.

We have audited the standalone financial statements of PVP Ventures Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Standalone financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in Basis of Qualified Opinion section below, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015, as amended, (''the Rules") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2023, and its Profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
a) We draw attention to Note no. 43 of the Standalone financial statements which describes that the Company had not created any provision for expected credit loss in the prior years towards the guarantee provided w.r.t loan availed by one of the subsidiaries, i.e., PVP Capital Limited from a bank. The aforesaid guarantee has been invoked in the current year. This is contrary to the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard - 109 - Financial instruments prescribed under the Rules. This has led to overstatement of previous year profits, understatement of current year profits and overstatement of retained earnings as at 1 April 2021 and 1 April 2022. However, we are unable to quantify the amounts on account of non-availability of management estimate of provisioning and related approvals/documentation etc. In the absence of the same, the Management has not performed a restatement of the previous year financial statements as required under Ind AS 8 - "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors".
b) We draw attention to Note no. 48 of the Standalone financial statements, which explains that the Company is in the process of assessing its compliances under the Regulations of Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and in the process of filing the required documents/condonation or compounding applications as may be required with the designated authority in connection with certain transactions with foreign parties relating to issuance/transfer/change of terms of convertible debentures. As stated in the said note, the Management is confident of completing all the required formalities and obtaining the required approval/ratification from the designated authority and there would be no material impact on the financial statements. However pending completion of the formalities and the receipt of required approvals from the designated authority, we are unable to comment on the impact arising out of the same on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 including the consequential effects thereof.
c) We draw attention to Note no. 49 of the Standalone financial statements, which explains that the Company is in the process of assessing its compliances under the Act and the SEBI (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements, Regulations) 2015 ("SEBI Regulations") and the corrective action required w.r.t. the exceptions/qualifications highlighted by the secretarial auditor in their report for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Company is in the process of filing the required documents / condonation /compounding / adjudication of penalty applications as may be required with the designated authority. As stated in the said note, the Management is confident of completing all the required formalities and obtaining the required approval/ratification from the designated authority and there would be no material impact on the financial statements. However pending completion of the formalities and the receipt of required approvals from the designated authority, we are unable to comment on the impact arising out of the same on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 including the consequential effects thereof.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statement 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 ("ICAI") 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 made thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
a) We draw attention to Note no. 30 of the Standalone financial statements w.r.t. exceptional gain (net) amounting to Rs. 6,870.67 lakhs dealing with the Waiver of Principal & Interest on the NonConvertible Debentures / Convertible Debentures, corporate guarantee invoked towards obligation of subsidiary Company and provision for doubtful Advances to subsidiary.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
b) We draw attention to Note no. 42(b) of the Standalone financial statements which deals with waiver / accounting of Interest on Convertible Debentures (CDs). While the interest upto the period ended 30 June 2022 has been waived off, the management believes with transfer of CDs from one holder to another on 4 November 2022 and execution of the relevant documents (Form SH-4) as required under the Act, all the rights and obligations of the Company cease to exist w.r.t previous debenture holder and hence has not accrued interest amounting to Rs. 252.26 lakhs for the period 1 July 2022 to 4 November 2022, based on the understanding / arrangement with the parties.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
c) We draw attention to Note no. 35 of the Standalone financial statements on various appeals that have been filed w.r.t Income Tax matters and are pending adjudication with the appellate authorities. The Company has been advised that it has a good case to support its stand hence does not warrant any provision in this regard.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our Report.

Key Audit Matter |

Adoption of New Income Tax Regime and Significant transactions having Tax impact With effect from financial year 2019-2020, the Income Tax Act, 1961 (''the IT Act'') provides an option of paying income taxes at a lower rate subject to complying with certain prescribed conditions. During the year ended 31 March 2023, the Company opted to pay tax under Section 115BAA of the IT Act (''new tax regime''). In accordance with the new tax regime, the Company is not entitled to carry forward Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit recognized in accordance with Section 115JB of the IT Act and consequently reversed the MAT Credit recognised in the books as on 31 March 2022 as a part of deferred tax expense recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31 March 2023. This amount is considered to be significant. The determination of the point in time at which the Company would shift to the new tax regime involved significant judgement and estimation regarding forecasting future taxable profits and realisation of MAT credit entitlement (an item of deferred tax asset). Since the impact of remeasurement of deferred tax assets as stated above was sensitive to these judgements and estimates, it affects the amount of deferred tax assets that are reversed in the standalone statement of profit and loss of the current year. During the year ended 31 March 2023, Corporate Guarantee given by the Company to a Bank had been invoked for loans availed by one of the step-down subsidiaries i.e., PVP Capital Limited (PVPCL). In |
Principal audit procedures performed: Examined the implications of the proposed tax regime to be adopted on the provision for tax of the Company. Reviewed the Management assessment w.r.t. cost benefit analysis under the new tax regime based on our knowledge of the business. Understood and evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of Company''s controls w.r.t. estimations, recognition of deferred tax assets, recoverability of MAT credit and review by senior management. Obtained and reviewed the legal opinion obtained by the Company for claiming corporate guarantee as a business expenditure. Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of related disclosures in the standalone financial statements. |

accordance with legal opinion obtained by the Management, the amount paid to the bank on behalf of PVPCL has been claimed as business expenditure by the Company under Section 37 of the IT Act. Given the significant level of judgement involved and the quantitative significance, we have determined this to be a key audit matter. |

Provision for Investments in Subsidiaries The Company has made equity investments in the subsidiaries as follows as at 31 March 2023: |
Principal audit procedures performed: Understood and evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of Company''s controls to assess the carrying value of its investments in subsidiaries and expected credit losses.

The Company has also provided loans and advances to these subsidiaries which have been treated as ''deemed investments'' in the absence of any repayment schedule. This has been treated as an equity infusion by the Company to provide support to the subsidiary Companies. As at the year ended 31 March 2023, the net worth of most of the subsidiaries stand substantially eroded and the Auditor of most of the subsidiaries have highlighted uncertainty w.r.t. going concern of the respective subsidiaries which indicates potential impairment of investment in those subsidiaries along with loans and advances given to such subsidiaries. In the current financial year, the Company has provided for an amount of Rs. 9,862.09 lakhs (included as exceptional item in the Statement of Profit and Loss) (Refer Note no. 30 to Standalone Financial Statements). Evaluation of provisioning to be made against investment in subsidiaries is considered as a key audit matter as it requires significant management judgement and estimates in addition to consideration of economic and entity specific factors in determination of the recoverable value used in |

⢠The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the management discussion and analysis, Board''s Report including annexures to Board''s Report and Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Management Discussion and Analysis, Boards report including the Annexures to the Board Report and Corporate Governance are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
⢠Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
⢠When we read the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s report including the Annexures to the Board Report and Corporate Governance, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance as required under SA 720 ''The Auditor''s responsibilities Relating to Other Information''.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder. 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; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and the 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 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 Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 Auditor''s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone 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 with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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 Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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; (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone 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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
The comparative financial information of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022 have been audited by the predecessor auditor. The report of the predecessor Auditor on the comparative financial information dated 25 May 2022 expressed a qualified opinion.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.

STANDALONE FINANCIAL SECTION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT
To the Members of PVP Ventures Limited
Report on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of PVP Ventures Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2018, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements based on our audit. In conducting 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 there under.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements 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 Standalone Financial Statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our Qualified audit opinion on Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
As stated in Note No: 25.3 to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, in relation to investment in equity shares includes investments in two subsidiary companies net off provision made amounting to Rs. 24,528.90 Lakhs, and loans and advances to subsidiary companies of net off provision made amounting to Rs. 31,499.83 Lakhs. The management is of the view that considering the market value of the assets and expected cash flows from the business of these subsidiary companies the provision already made is adequate. Considering erosion in the net worth of the subsidiary companies and are their dependence on the holding company to continue as a going concern, absence of cash flows, delay in commencement of projects and other related factors indicate the existence of material uncertainty in carrying the value of investments and loans and advances at cost less provision already made. Hence we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these net carrying amounts are necessary and additional provision for diminution, if any, to be made are not quantifiable at this point of time.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion Paragraph, the aforesaid Standalone Ind AS 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 (financial position) of the Company as at 31st March 2018, and its profits (financial performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to
a) As stated in Note No: 25.4(3) to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, the company mortgaged perambur land as a security to the lenders for the borrowings made by third parties and the borrowers have not repaid the loan along with interest to the lenders on the due dates. The outstanding loan by these companies as on 31st March 2018 is Rs. 2,866.02 Lakhs. The realizable value of mortgaged assets is dependent on the repayment of the loans by the third parties. The management asserts that no adjustment to the carrying value is required as it is confident that the payment obligations will be met by the third party borrower in due course. Relying on the same no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of the assets.
b) As stated in Note No: 25.5 to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, the obligations towards disputed income tax matters amounting to Rs. 1,783.25 Lakhs are pending before different judicial forums. Pending disposal of these appeals the eventual obligation in this regard is unascertainable at this time. Based on the management''s assessment and based on the experts view on the merits of the dispute, no provision is considered necessary in this regard.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.

ANNEXURE-B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of PVP Ventures Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone 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.
Qualified Opinion
According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit procedure performed, the following material weakness has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the company''s Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting as at 31st March 2018:
The company''s internal financial controls in respect of supervisory and review controls over process of determining of
a) Carrying value of the company''s non-current investments in its subsidiaries and
b) Recoverability of loans to its subsidiaries included under Non-current investments.
Absences of aforesaid assessment in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India could potentially result in a material misstatement in the carrying value of investments in such subsidiaries and the aforesaid dues from such subsidiaries and consequently, could also impact the profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income) after tax.
A ''material weakness'' is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company''s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the company has, maintained, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2018, based on internal control over financial reporting 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.
We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PVP Ventures Limited (herein after referred to "the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Financial Statements).
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, as amended. 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; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of 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 there under.
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 the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosure in the financial statements. These procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor 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 Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the financial statements.
BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION
Attention is drawn to the (a) Note 12 in notes to the financial statements with regard to the investment in equity shares of subsidiary companies with provision made, (b) Note 13 loans and advances to subsidiary companies. The management is of the view that considering the market value of the assets and expected cash flows from the business of these subsidiary companies the provision already made are adequate. However considering the net worth of the subsidiary companies is negative, dependence on the parent to continue as a going concern, absence of cash flows, delay in commencement of projects and other related factors indicate that the existence of material uncertainty in carrying the value of investments and loans and advances at cost less provision already made. Hence we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these net carrying amounts are necessary and additional provision for diminution, if any, to be made are not quantifiable.
QUALIFIED OPINION
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except to the possible effects of the matters described in Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the aforesaid 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 at 31st March, 2016, and their Profit, and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS
We draw the attention to (a) the Note No.24.6 with regard to the Income Taxes disputed before respective authorities, which describes the uncertainty related to the outcome of the Appeals filed against the Orders of the Authorities; and (b) the Note No.24.6.4 with regard to the security by way of mortgage of property given to the lenders for the borrowings by other body corporate and they have not repaid the loan with interest to the lenders. All these items describe the uncertainty related to the outcome of the future events. Our opinion in respect of these matters is not modified.

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following weakness has been identified as at 31st March, 2016. "The Companies internal control system for advance given to subsidiary companies and investments in subsidiary companies, which could potentially result in existence of uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the recoverability or otherwise of these advances and investments and thereby non provision for the shortfall as at the balance sheet date could not have been reasonably established".

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PVP Ventures
(the Company), which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March, 31 2013
and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the
year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for 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 Standards referred to in sub- section (3C) of section
211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act). This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair 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 conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with the
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. These
procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the
assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessment, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
Company''s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the management, 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 qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion:
Attention is drawn to the (a) Note 12 in notes to the financial
statements with regard to the investment in equity shares of subsidiary
companies at cost C54718.10 lakhs with provision for diminution in
carrying value provided for C30358.10 lakhs, (b) investment in
Redeemable Non-convertible Debentures of subsidiary company of
C24832.00 lakhs, and (c) Note 13 in notes to the financial statements
with regard to Unsecured Loans to subsidiary companies of C43660.75
lakhs with provision for doubtful advances made for C5160.16 lakhs. The
management is of the view that considering the market value of the
assets and expected cashflows from the business of these subsidiary
companies the provision already made are adequate. However considering
the networth of the subsidiary companies are negative, dependence on
the parent to continue as a going concern and other related factors
indicate that the existence of material uncertainty in carrying the
value of investments and loans and advances at cost less provision
already made. Hence we were unable to determine whether any adjustments
to these amounts were necessary.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, except to the possible effects of the matters
described in Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial
statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so

b) In the case of Statement of Profit and Loss, of the PROFIT for the
year ended on that date; and
c) In the case of Cash Flow Statement, of the Cash Flows for the year
ended on that date
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to (a) Note 4 with regard to the waiver of Interest
payable to the Debentures (parent company) (b) Note 12 with regard to
the waiver of Interest receivable from Debentures (subsidiary company),
and (c) Note 18 and Note 24.7 with regard to the Income Tax demands

qualified in respect of these matters.
