1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial

which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at 31
March 2025, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive loss), the Standalone
Statement of Cash Flow and the Standalone Statement
of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes
to the standalone financial statements, including material
accounting policy information and other explanatory
information.

2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act') in
the manner so required and give a true and fair view in
conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind
AS') specified under section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
and other accounting principles generally accepted in
India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March
2025, and its profit (including other comprehensive loss),

its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended
on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing 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 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 (‘ICAI') 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 thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and
the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

Information other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report
thereon

6. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Annual Report, but does
not include the standalone financial statements and our
auditor's report thereon. The Annual Report is expected
to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's
report.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with
governance.

Responsibilities of Management and
Those Charged with Governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements

7. The accompanying standalone financial statements have
been approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation and presentation of these standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified
under section 133 of the Act and other accounting

principles generally accepted in India. 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.

8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board
of Directors is 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.

9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements

10. 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 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 Standards on Auditing
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.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 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 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 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 auditor's
report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern; and

• 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory
Requirements

15. As required by section 197(16) of the Act, based on our
audit, we report that the Company has paid remuneration
to its directors during the year in accordance with the
provisions of and limits laid down under section 197 read

amended);

g) With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial
controls with reference to standalone financial

and the operating effectiveness of such controls,
refer to our separate report in Annexure II wherein we
have expressed an unmodified opinion; and

h) With respect to the other matters to be included in

standalone financial statements, has disclosed
the impact of pending litigations on its financial
position as at 31 March 2025;

ii. The Company did not have any long-term
contracts including derivative contracts for
which there were any material foreseeable
losses as at 31 March 2025;

required to be transferred, to the Investor
Education and Protection Fund by the Company
during the year ended 31 March 2025;

to the best of its knowledge and belief, as
disclosed in note 46(a) to the standalone
financial statements, no funds have been
advanced or loaned or invested (either

the Company to or in any person(s) or
entity(ies), including foreign entities (‘the
intermediaries'), with the understanding,

whether recorded in writing or otherwise,
that the intermediary shall, whether,
directly or indirectly lend or invest in other
persons or entities identified in any manner
whatsoever by or on behalf of the Company
(‘the Ultimate Beneficiaries') or provide any
guarantee, security or the like on behalf the
Ultimate Beneficiaries;

b. The management has represented that,
to the best of its knowledge and belief, as
disclosed in note 46(b) to the standalone
financial statements, no funds have
been received by the Company from any
person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign
entities (‘the Funding Parties'), with the
understanding, whether recorded in writing
or otherwise, that the Company shall,
whether directly or indirectly, lend or invest
in other persons or entities identified in any
manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the
Funding Party (‘Ultimate Beneficiaries') or
provide any guarantee, security or the like
on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and

c. Based on such audit procedures performed
as considered reasonable and appropriate
in the circumstances, nothing has come to
our notice that has caused us to believe
that the management representations
under sub-clauses (a) and (b) above
contain any material misstatement.

during the year ended 31 March 2025 in
respect of such dividend declared for the
previous year is in accordance with section

payment of dividend.

b. As stated in note 34(b) to the accompanying
standalone financial statements, the
Board of Directors of the Company have
proposed final dividend for the year ended
31 March 2025 which is subject to the
approval of the members at the ensuing
Annual General Meeting. The dividend
declared is in accordance with section
123 of the Act to the extent it applies to
declaration of dividend.

vi. As stated in Note 47 to the standalone financial
statements and based on our examination which
included test checks, the Company, in respect
of financial year commencing on 1 April 2024,
has used accounting software for maintaining
its books of account which have a feature of
recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the
same have been operated throughout the year
for all relevant transactions recorded in the
software at the application level. The audit trail
feature was enabled from 01 April 2024 till 28
January 2025 at database level for accounting
software to log any direct data changes, used
for maintenance of all accounting records by the
Company ,however, we are unable to comment
on the completeness and accuracy of the logs
being maintained. The said audit trail feature for
the period 29 January 2025 to 31 March 2025,
was not enabled at database level.

Further, during the course of our audit we did
not come across any instance of audit trail
feature being tampered with in respect of the
accounting software where such feature is
enabled.

Furthermore, other than the impact of the
instances mentioned above, the audit trail has
been preserved by the Company as per the
