The Company's trade receivables as at March 31, 2025, aggregating to Rs. 2874.88 Lakhs, for which external confirmationshave been sent by the management. However, confirmations have not been received from the respective parties. Accordingly,we are unable to comment on the possible adjustments required in the carrying amount of trade receivable and possible impactis presently not quantifiable.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act,2013.

However State Bank of India and Axis Bank has still not given effect for the same intheir books and balance still outstanding aggregating to Rs. 3546.07 lakhs, to that extent there is difference as per books of accountand balance confirmation from banks.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in theAnnual Report, 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 conclusionthereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course ofour 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 requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) withrespect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changesin equity and cash flows of 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 read with the company's (Indian Accounting Standard ) Rules2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management 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 management eitherintends 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.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably 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:
a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
b. Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statement in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
d. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify 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.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant 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 regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance inthe audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
