We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of M/s. RAJ TELEVISION NETWORK LIMITED (âthe
Companyâ), which comprise the balance sheet as at
March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss,
the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of
Cash Flows for the year ended, and Notes to the Financial
Statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) 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, (âInd
ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
March 31, 2025; and its profit, total comprehensive
income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
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 Auditorâs
Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the financial statements under the provisions of the Act
and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key audit matter:
1. Recoverability of long overdue receivables from
customers and matter of litigation of receivables.
The Company has receivables of ? 12.96 crores, which are
long overdue, as on 31 March 2025. We considered this
as key audit matter on account of risk associated with
long outstanding receivables, the Companyâs assessment
of the recoverability of these receivables and consequent
determination of provision for expected credit loss which
requires significant Management estimates and
judgments.
Principal audit procedures performed:
Company has filed a petition to collect the long
outstanding amount of Rs.5.12 crores and it is under
subject matter of Honâble Supreme Court. The company is
also in the process of collecting the balance amount of
?7.83 crores.
Attention is invited to following âNote 2.18âw of the Ind AS
financial statements regarding the matter of litigation
relating to M/s Thaicom Public Company Limited
(A Thailand based Company). M/s. Thaicom Public
Company Limited has received an award from Foreign
Arbitration for US$ 11,34,885.21, including interest
accrued thereon and has a filed petition under section 8
of Insolvency and Bankruptcy code 2016. The matter has
since been settled through an out-of-court settlement,
and the case has been withdrawn. Our opinion is not
modified in respect of this matter.
The Companyâs board of directors is responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the
Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report,
Business Responsibility Report but does not include the
financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover
the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our
audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to
read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude
that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE
CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE 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 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. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting
records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for
safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that
were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statement
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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. Those Board of
Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and
to issue an auditorâs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism 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.
⢠With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial
controls over financial reporting of the Company and
the operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to
our separate Report in âAnnexure Bâ. Our report
expresses an unmodified opinion on the adequacy
and operating effectiveness of the Companyâs
internal financial controls over financial reporting.
⢠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
The People''s Channel
material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorâs
report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative
materiality and qualitative factors in
(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work; and
(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements
in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to
communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements
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.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of management and those charged with governance for the Financial Statements
5. 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 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. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
6. In preparing the 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. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
7. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
8. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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.
⢠With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company
and the operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate Report in "Annexure Bâ. Our report expresses an unmodified opinion on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
9. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 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.
13. As required by the Companies (Auditorâs Report) Order, 2020 ("the Orderâ) issued by the Central Government in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in the ââAnnexure Aâ a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.
14. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, we report that:
(a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
(b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of those books.
(c) The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss, and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the books of account.

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 read with Schedule V to the Act.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, 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 the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with
