We are auditor of the Company in accordance with the Code of ethics issued by the Institute ofChartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements underthe provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with these requirements and the Code of ethics.

In theabsence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to comment upon the carrying value of non current investment, loansto related parties and trade receivable and recoverability of the aforesaid dues and consequential impact, if any on the accompanyingfinancial statement.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance. in our audit of the financial statementsof the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and informingour opinion thereon.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Emphasis of MatterWe draw attention to:
Note no. 13 regarding credit facilities from banks became Non-Performance account during the previous year and forensic audit hasbeen carried for the working of the company and interest has not been provided since August 2018 being NPA. Pending the ultimateoutcome of this matter which is presently unascertainable hence no adjustment has been made.
Note no. 35 regarding net worth of the company has been fully eroded and no business operation since FY 2019-20, but accounts areprepared on going concern basis.
Further the Company has defaulted in repayment of principal and interest payable to Bankers in respect of working capital facilitieswhich indicate existence of liquidity stress and material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continueas a going concern. However, the management is hopeful to meet the Company's financial obligation and continuing business operations.Having regards to this, financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern. Hence no adjustments have beenmade to the carrying value of Assets and Liabilities of the Company.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information includedin the annual 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 in the audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management for the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance (including other comprehensive Income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including the. Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') specified under section 133 ofthe Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and applicationof appropriate accounting 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 accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related. to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless theBoard of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing ('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. to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor 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 thecircumstances. Under section 143(3) of the Act, We are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• 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.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
