Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified

Key Audit Matter

Auditors' Response

1.

Gems & Jewellery is highly working capital-intensive
industry and Inventory is a major component of it.
Inventory mainly consists of Rough Diamonds, Cut &
Polished diamonds, Jewellery, Gold and other
precious metal and precious and semi-precious
stones.

Cut & Polished Diamonds not being a standardized
product requires specialized skill and knowledge for
valuation. The assessment of its Net Realisable value
is based on the assessment by the management and
valuation done by the government approved valuer
based on various parameters of diamonds and
marketable conditions.

We conclude the valuation of inventories as a key audit
matter for our audit.

In view of the significance of the matter, we have applied the following audit
procedures in this area, among other procedures to obtain sufficient audit
evidence:

- We assessed the appropriateness of the inventories accounting
policies and its compliances with the applicable accounting
standards.

- We evaluated design and implementation of the effectiveness of the
key controls with respect to the safeguarding and physical
movement of inventory and its recording and reconciling physical
verification of inventory. There are sufficient and effective controls in
the IT systems recording movement from manufacturing to sales.

- Inventory of cut & polished diamonds is valued using Specific
Identification method to the extent possible and where it is not
possible, due to vast variety, quality and peculiarity of goods, the
valuation is done using Retail Method.

- We evaluated reasonableness of the management's assessment of
net realizable value which is substantiated and supported by
valuation from an independent government approved valuer.

- We participated and observed the physical verification of inventory
conducted by the management at the offices on sample basis as at
March 31,2025.

Responsibility of Management for Standalone Ind AS 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") with
respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance, (changes in equity) and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the 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 statement that give a true and fair view and 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 either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

That Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

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

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud and 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 one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 company has adequate internal financial control system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.

4. 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 ability of the
Group 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 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 auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

5. 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 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.
