We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of MONINDLTD (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, theStatement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), theStatement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year endedon that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and otherexplanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the standalone financialstatements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanationsgiven to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the informationrequired by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give atrue and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted inIndia, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, the losses(including other comprehensive income) changes in equity and its cash flows for theyear ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance withthe Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of ourreport. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethicsissued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with theindependence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financialstatements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and wehave fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirementsand the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtainedis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalonefinancial statements.
We draw attention to the following matter in the Notes to the financial statements:
Note no. 26a in the financial statements which indicates that there are no major businessactivities in the company. The Company has accumulated losses resulting in erosion ofnet worth and has incurred net cash losses during the year and in the immediatelypreceding financial year. The current liabilities of the Company exceeded its currentassets as at the balance sheet date. These conditions may cast doubt about theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.
However, in view of perception of the management, the financial statements of theCompany have been prepared on a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have applied following auditprocedures in this regard
We have enquired about balanceconfirmation and other relevantdocuments related to negotiations withthe parties towards settlement ofamount.
We have discussed the matter with themanagement and observed thatsignificant balances are confirmedexcept one of the creditors regardingwhich the management has confirmedthe continuance of liability.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of other information.The other information comprises the Director’s report, Corporate Governance report,Business responsible report and Management Discussion and Analysis of Annual report,but does not include the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and our report thereon.The Directors report, Corporate Governance report, Business responsible report andManagement Discussion and Analysis of Annual report is expected to be made availableto us after the date of this auditors’ report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements does not cover the otherinformation and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes availableto us and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during thecourse of our audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read such other information as and when made available to us and if weconclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicatethe matter to those charged with governance.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and Statement of cashflows of the Company in accordance with the in AS and other accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother 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 wereoperating 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 frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalonefinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error audit procedures, design and performresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto 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 involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in orderto design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(I) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonable nessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and event s in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
