In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, theaforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act 2013, ("theAct") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian AccountingStandards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules 2017, as amended, ("Ind AS") and the accounting principles generally accepted in India,of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, its profit, including other comprehensiveincome, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described inthe 'Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements' section of our report. We areindependent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financialstatements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the auditevidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on thefinancial statements.
We draw attention to the following matters:
a) The Company had provided inter corporate deposit (ICD) to M/s. Solding Hydrowatt Private Limitedon April 1,2023 for an amount of Rs. 2,00,00,000/- for a period of 2 years at an interest rate of 7.5%p.a. Further, the said ICD is repayable on demand.
According to the information and explanation provided to us, Solding Hydrowatt Private Limited is arelated party and as such, all related party transactions are required to be carried out at an arm'slength basis.
Although, the Company has charged interest on such ICDs given to its related parties, the interestrates are not on an arm's length basis and the interest income has been under reported in the financialstatements to that extent.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we donot provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, butdoes 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 anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our auditor otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.Responsibilities of Management and those charged with governance for the Financial Statements:
The Company's management and the Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair viewof the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows andchanges in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted inIndia, including the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a trueand 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 assessingthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements :
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit 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 ofthese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal 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 responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrol that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
