Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss and the Standalone

other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2025, of
the profit and its cash flows 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 SAs are further described in the Auditorâs
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of
the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAIâ)
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 ICAIâs 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.
Emphasis of Matter
(i) We draw attention to Note - 38 of the Standalone
Financial Statements, which describes the advance
payment of '' 21 Lacs made on 24.01.2023 for
purchase of Agriculture Land but the agreement is
yet to be executed. The said amount is included in
"Long Term Loans and Advancesâ in the Standalone
Financial Statements.
(ii) We draw attention to Note - 39 of the Standalone
Financial Statements, which describes the claim of
'' 58.49 Lacs lodged with the United Insurance Company
accounted for in financial year 2023-24 which is still
pending for approval from the said insurance company.
The said amount is included in "Short Term Loans and
Advancesâ in the Standalone Financial Statements.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matters.
Other Information
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the preparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the information included
in the Companyâs Annual Report, but does not include the
Consolidated Financial Statements, Standalone Financial
Statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on 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 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, 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.
Managementâs and Board of Directorsâ Responsibilities
for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs,
profit/loss 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 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, the
respective Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorsâ Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditorâs report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with 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 controls
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 respect 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 the Management and
Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and Board of Directorâs use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of Standalone Financial
Statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report
to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial
Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorâs
report. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of mis-statements in the
Standalone 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 mis-statements 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.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial

assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always

⢠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

going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorâs report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of mis-statements 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
