Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 37 of the Ind AS Financial Statements where it is mentioned that reconciliation ofdeferred tax assets and liabilities is under process and necessary adjustment, if any, will be given effect to as andwhen determined.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of theInd AS Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of theInd AS Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separateopinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to becommunicated in our report.

Advances
Other Non Current Assets in Note 6 of the Ind ASFinancial Statements include 'Other Advances' whichinclude advances given to certain entities aggregatingRs 123.47 lakhs as on reporting date which are lyingunadjusted in the books for more than 3 years. Thechances of recoverability of these balances seem to

We have observed from the system derived ledgerabstracts the past trends and have found that thebalances are accumulating over the years instead ofgeffing adjusted, excepting in one account where theyear-end balance has reduced, though suchadjustments during the year are found not much
be remote. The management should consider forquantifying the expected credit loss allowances in theInd AS Financial Statements for each of the advancesgiven. Furthermore, the expectation that thesebalances are to be adjusted within one year from thereporting date is unfounded and accordingly basedon past trends the balances have been classified asnon-current.
significant compared to balances accumulated overthe past period.
We have also sought for external confirmation ofthese balances and requested the management toexplain the reason for which these balances are lyingunadjusted for such a long time in the books ofaccount of the Company.
Advances recoverable include Rs 742.37 lacs onaccount of Tai Projects Private Limited, incorporatedwith an object of settng up a Family EntertainmentComplex at Nonadanga in Eastern MetropolitanBypass, Kolkata in pursuance of a decision to makeinvestment in the said company. The said advance islying static against which a credit balanceRs.347.81lacs exists in the books with very slowmovement recorded over the decades. The Companyis yet to obtain physical possession of the complexand had initiated legal proceedings against KMDAwhich is presently pending disposal before theCalcutta High Court as disclosed in Note 36.2 to theInd AS Financial Statements
Possibilities of realization of the said balancepresently appear to be remote as the matter ispending in the Courts of Law for more than twodecades and with the passage of time the question ofrecoverability of this material debit balance in thebooks is quite uncertain.
We have enquired about the progress of the legalproceedings initiated against the KMDA which is presentlypending disposal before the Calcutta High Court as weobserve almost no movement in the balance over the years
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board'sReport, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not includethe Ind AS Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any formof assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS FinancialStatements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flowsof the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Ind AS FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS Financial Statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Ind AS Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS Financial Statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(I) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the 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 the related disclosures in the IndAS Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Ind AS Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Ind ASFinancial 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 anyidentified misstatements in the Ind AS Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay 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 ofmost significance in the audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
