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 Ind AS
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 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
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind AS 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.

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

1

External Confirmations

Positive external confirmation request was sent through
electronic mode. Most confirmations for the same
were not received. The Company seeks and had
sought confirmations from vendors and customers
during the year.

In such events, we auditors performed alternative
audit procedures.

This matter is considered to be key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included, among others, the
following:

Revised assessed risk and modify our audit procedures
to mitigate these risks;

Obtained a reliable assurance pertaining to transactions
with confirming parties, in sense for accurate and
complete process of routine and significant classes
of transactions such as revenue, purchases, etc.;

Selected samples and tested the effectiveness of
controls related to accuracy and completeness of
transactions in totality considering the frequency and
regularity of transactions;

Performed alternative audit procedures like

For accounts receivable balances: scrutiny of ledger
accounts and verification of subsequent receipts;

For accounts payable balances: scrutiny of ledger
accounts and other documents/records, such as bills
from vendors and subsequent payments

Auditor's Response

Carrying value of Receivables

As at March 31,2024, receivables constitutes Nil of
total assets of the Company. The Company is required
to regularly assess the recoverability of its Receivables.

Recoverability of Receivables was highly significant
to our audit due to the value of amounts which also
represents significant portion of the Company's working
capital.

Expected credit loss involves judgement as it must
reflect information about past events, current conditions
and forecasts of future conditions, as well as the time
value of money. Management has made provision for
expected credit loss NIL.

Principal Audit Procedures

Tested the ageing of trade receivables and receipts
subsequent to the year-end;

Evaluated Management's assessment of the current
financial situation of the major entities whose balances
are receivable as at the year-end.

Assessed the Company's expected credit loss
calculations made in determining the recoverable
amount.

Sent and obtained confirmations for major parties
possible.

On the basis of above audit procedures performed we
conclude that there have been substantial delays in
receipts and subsequent receipts have not been
significant.

In view of the above, we are unable to obtain
sufficient and appropriate audit evidence and are
unable to comment on adequacy of loss provision,
valuation and recoverability of balance outstanding.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

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

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the 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 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

6. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013("the
Act") with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements to give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the
Act. 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.

7. In preparing the Ind AS 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 either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

8. 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

9. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 financial statements.

10. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS 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 explaining our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate 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 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 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 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.

• Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of the misstatement in the financial statement that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decision of the reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statement may be
influenced. We considered quantitative materiality and qualitative factor in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and
evaluating the result of our work, and (ii) evaluating the effects of any identified misstatement in the financial statements.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Ind AS 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.

Tally Prime) for maintaining its books of account which does have a feature of recording audit trail facility but
not enabled by the Company.
