We have audited the financial statements of Rajasthan Cylinders and Containers Limited ("the
Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including other comprehensive income), Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the Financial Statementsâ).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the
effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the aforesaid financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the 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, ("Ind-ASâ)
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
31st March 2024, and its loss (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
(i) The interest payable u/s 16 of MSMED Act, 2006 and other disclosures of trade payable to micro
enterprises and small enterprises has not been ascertained and not provided for. (Refer Note No. 19).
(ii) Balances of Trade Payable, Loans given, Interest receivable on loans and Unsecured Loan Taken are
subject to confirmation and consequent adjustment, if any. (Refer Note No. 35).
(iii) The Company has recognised deferred tax assets amounting to Rs. 533.79 Lakhs as on
31st March 2024, which includes deferred tax assets on carried forward unused tax losses and other
taxable temporary differences on the basis of expected availability of future taxable profits for
utilization of such deferred tax assets. However, in view of the history of losses recorded by the
Company and no operational segment, we are unable to comment on any adjustments that may be
required to the carrying value of aforesaid net deferred tax assets as at 31 March 2024.
(Refer Note No. 6)
Had the impact of above qualification in Para (iii), without considering Para (i and ii) for which impact could
not be determined, been considered, the total comprehensive income for the year would have been
Rs. -669.96 Lakhs as against reported total comprehensive income of Rs. -136.17 Lakhs and other equity
would have been Rs. 746.85 Lakhs as against the reported figure of Rs. 1280.64 Lakhs and Deferred Tax
Assets would have been Rs. Nil as against reported figure of Rs. 533.79 Lakhs.
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 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 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 we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern
The company has closed its manufacturing operations due to unsatisfactory performance of the company and
continued operational losses. The company has disposed off its Plant & Machinery in one or more tranches.
These events or conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. However, consent of Board of Directors is accorded to
appoint a consultant for setting a new project, hence, the financial statements have been prepared on going
concern basis. (Refer Note 36)
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters (''KAM'') 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. Except for the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section,
we have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s report thereon
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Company''s annual report, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditors'' report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5)
of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of
the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were
operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 Board of Directors 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 Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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 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 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 auditors'' 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.

that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
