We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements
of Induslnd Bank Limited ('the Bank'), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Profit and Loss Account, and
the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to
the standalone financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 Section 29 of the
Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as well as the Companies Act, 2013
(the 'Act') and circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve
Bank of India, in the manner so required for banking companies
('RBI Guidelines') and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the
Act, read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021 as
amended to the extent applicable, of the state of affairs of the
Bank as at March 31, 2025, and its profit, and its cash flows for the
year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing ('SAs') specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those SAs 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 Bank
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 obtained by us, are sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone
financial statements.

Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to schedule 18(17.1) to 18(17.6) to the standalone
financial statements, which explain that the Board commissioned
an investigation/ reviews into the alleged discrepancies, covering
the following significant matters:

a) Internal Trades Derivative Accounting under the head 'Other
Assets' amounting to ^1,959.98 crores being accumulated
notional profits since FY 2015-16 have been written off as a
prior period item in the current financial year.

b) Incorrect accounting and subsequent reversal of cumulative
interest income of ^673.82 crore and Fee Income of ^172.58
crores within the current financial year.

c) Certain incorrect Manual Entries posted in the 'Other Assets'
and 'Other Liabilities' pertaining to prior years amounting to
?595 crores has been set off during the current financial year.

The resultant findings from the investigation / review reports,
in summary, revealed an involvement of senior Bank officials,
including former Key Management Personnel (KMP), in overriding
key internal controls across the aforesaid functions/ areas, and
a concealment from the Board and the statutory auditors of the
wrongful accounting practices adopted, over such period of time,
as indicated in the respective investigation/ review reports.

Basis our evaluation of the findings in the above mentioned
reports, in particular the likely involvement of senior management
in the above matters, we have reasons to believe that suspected
offences involving fraud may have been committed and thereby
we have reported these matters to the Central Government under
Section 143 (12) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 13(1) to
(4) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors Rules), 2014.

We draw attention to schedule 18(17.9) to the standalone
financial statements, which explains that in light of the findings
and adjustments noted above, in particular the override of
management controls by KMPs, the Board of Directors initiated
an internal review of material financial statement account captions
and directed the Management and the Internal Audit Department
to perform additional procedures such as reconciliations of system
reports and listings with balances reflected in general ledger, test
checks over such items in the listing and certain digital procedures
over and above. Based on the above review, rectifications/
reclassifications including those relating to prior-period items
were made to the accompanying standalone financial statements.

We draw attention to schedule 18(17.7) and 18(17.9) to the
standalone financial statements, which state that the Bank is
currently in the process of determining the accountability of the
persons involved in the discrepancies and irregularities mentioned
in the Emphasis of Matter paragraphs with reference to schedule
18(17.1) to 18(17.6) above and assessing the resultant legal or penal
implications, if any, that may arise thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not modified
with respect to these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. 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.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

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 and take appropriate
action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

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

The Bank's Management and 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, and cash flows ofthe Bank in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read
with Companies (Accounting Standards} Rules, 2021 as amended
to the extent applicable, and RBI Guidelines. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act, Banking Regulation Act,
1949 and RBI Guidelines for safeguarding of the assets of the Bank
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 standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management
and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Bank'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 Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Bank's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

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 auditors' 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 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 of these standalone
financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs,
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 d ue 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
Bank has internal financial controls with reference to standalone
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 in the standalone financial statements.

• 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 or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditors' 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 auditors'
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

• 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.

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.

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.

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
for the year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore, the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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.

Other Matters

The audit of standalone financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2024 was conducted by one of the predecessor joint
statutory auditors and one of the current joint statutory auditors
of the Bank, who expressed an unmodified opinion on those
standalone financial statements vide their report dated April 25,

2024. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not

modified in respect of this matter.
