Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Quaified Opinion

1. We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of TCI Finance Limited ("the Company"), for the quarter and year ended March 31,2024 ("the Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("the listing Regulations").

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matters described in Basis for Qualified Opinion section and Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section of this report, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act 2013 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 March 31,2024, the loss and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects in the respect of the matters described in paragraph 3 under basis for qualified opinion below, the Statement:

(i) is presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and

(ii) give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standard and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net loss and other comprehensive loss and other financial information for the year ended March 31,2024

Basis for qualified Opinion

We draw attention to following notes to the financial statements:

a. Note 29 regarding claims on the Company by the lenders of Amrit Jal Ventures Private Limited and it''s subsidiary Gati Infrastructure Bhasmey Power Private Limited aggregating to Rs. 25,619.80 Lakhs due to invocation of corporate guarantee given by the Company. Against the said liability, the Company during the year 2019-20, considering the disputed nature of claim and unlawful invocation of Corporate Guarantee made a provision of Rs.7,798.91 Lakhs. As at March 31,2024, the Company has disclosed the balance amount of liability Rs.17,820.89 Lakhs as contingent liability in its financial statements. In the absence of adequate basis for recognition of partial liability, in our opinion the company ought to have recognised the liability in its books. Had the liability been recognised, the loss for the year and accordingly the other equity (negative balance) will be higher by Rs.17,820.89 Lakhs.

b. Note no 28 (i) regarding the invocation of Company''s investment in equity shares of Gati Limited pledged as security for the credit facilities availed from Godavari Commercial Services Private Limited (Godavari), one of the lenders to the Company. However, the Company continued to present the said equity shares as investment at fair value as at March 31,2024 despite invocation for the reasons stated in the said note. Fair value of the invoked shares considered as an asset aggregates to Rs.930.25 Lakhs. Considering that investments have been sold, we are unable to comment on the appropriateness of presentation of fair value of said equity shares as investments in the financial statements. Further in view of the uncertainty relating to recoverability of the said investment, we are unable to comment on the impact, if any, on the loss for the year and other equity as at March 31,2024.

c. Note no 28(iii) regarding the investments in equity shares of the Company held in Gati Limited pledged for the facilities availed by Amrit Jal Ventures Private Limited (AJVPL). The lenders of AJVPL have invoked the pledge and realized their dues. However, the company continued to present the said equity shares as investment at fair value as at March 31,2024 despite invocation for the reasons stated in the said note. The fair value of the invoked shares considered as an asset aggregates to Rs.774.41 Lakhs. Considering that investments have been sold, we are

unable to comment on the appropriateness of presentation of fair value of said equity shares as investments in financial statements. Further, in view of the uncertainty relating to recoverability of the said investment, we are unable to comment on the impact if any, on the loss for the year and other equity as at March 31,2024.

d. Regarding preparation of the financial statements by the management on a going concern basis for reasons stated therein. In the absence of sufficient and appropriate evidence and the liabilities devolved on the company upon invocation of guarantees by the lenders of other entities in opinion, preparation of financial statements on a going concern is not appropriate. Hence, we are unable to comment on the effect on carrying value of assets and liabilities had the financial statements been prepared not as a going concern.

e. Note no 31 regarding non recognition of interest expense of Rs.62.44 Lakhs for the year ended March 31,2024 for the reasons stated in the said note. The interest expense not recognised, upto March 31,2024 aggregates to Rs.398.31 Lakhs. Consequently, loss for the year is lower by Rs.62.44 Lakhs and Other Equity (negative balance) and borrowings are lower by Rs.398.31 Lakhs.

f. The Company has received communication from RBI regarding non-reporting of matters reported at para (b), (c) and (d) above and a direction to account the same in the financial statements of March 31,2020. As the Company received the complaint, post the audit of March 31,2021, the Company has submitted the revised financial position [i.e. special purpose reporting] by adjusting the above-said qualifications. The financial statements for the current year do not include any adjustments contained in the directions of the RBI. We are unable to comment on effect on presentation and disclosures in the financial Statements the Company followed the directions of the RBI.

In view of the matters reported at para (a) to (f) above and considering cumulative effect of these matters on the carrying values of assets and liabilities as at the year end, we are unable to comment on the effect on the loss for the year and the retained earnings, had these matters been given effect in the financial results and financial statements for the current year.

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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 on the financial statements.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 33 regarding preparation of the financial statements by the management on a going concern basis for the reasons stated therein. In the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence and the liabilities devolved on the Company upon invocation of guarantees by the lenders of other entities, we are of the opinion that preparation of financial statements on a going concern is not appropriate. Hence, we are unable to comment on the effect on carrying value of assets and liabilities had the financial statements been prepared not as a going concern.

Our opinion is modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter:

1. We draw attention to Note no 25 regarding the petition filed by the three shareholders on the Company and the management regarding operation and mismanagement of affairs of the Company and the statutory auditors of the Company regarding reporting requirements of the said transactions.

2. We draw attention to Note no 32 regarding the receipt of the communication from Reserve Bank of India regarding the non- compliance with the maintenance of minimum Net Owned Funds as required under RBI Act, 1934 advising the Company for surrender of Certificate of Registration.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s 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.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the presentation of these annual financial results that give a true and fair view of the net loss and other comprehensive loss of the company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with the Listing Regulations. 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 judgment and estimates that are responsible 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 annual financial results 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 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.

Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of 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 system 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 Board of Directors.

♦ Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors 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 upto 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 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 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.

Annexure A to the Independent Auditors’ 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 TCI Finance Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone 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” 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.

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 whether 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 auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 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 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 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 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, 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, 2017, 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.

Re: TCI Finance Limited

Annexure A to the Independent Auditors'' 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 TCI Finance Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone 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" 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.

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.

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 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 v1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the 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, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2016, based on 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.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by 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 audit opinion.
