In our opinion and to the best of our information andaccording to the explanations given to us, the aforesaidInd AS Financial statements give the information requiredby the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner sorequired and give a true and fair view in conformity withthe Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, of thestate of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, theprofit and total comprehensive income, changes in equityand its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS Financial statements inaccordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities underthose Standards are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS Financialstatements section of our report. We are independent ofthe Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issuedby the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)together with the independence requirements that arerelevant to our audit of the Ind AS Financial statementsunder the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilitiesin accordance with these requirements and the ICAI'sCode of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we haveobtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion on the Ind AS Financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Ind ASFinancial statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind ASFinancial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on thesematters We have determined the matters described belowto be the key audit matters to be communicated in ourreport.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of jewellerywhen control of the goods is transferred to the customer.Given that a significant portion of the Company's revenueis derived from the sale of jewellery , which involvesnumerous individual sales contracts with retail customers,distributors, and franchisees, each with varied contractualterms, there exists complexity in revenue recognition. Boththe Company and its external stakeholders heavily relyon revenue as a primary performance indicator, therebyincreasing the risk of misstatement in the timing andexistence of revenue recognized.
Therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as a keyaudit matter.
In view of the significance of the matter, we applied thefollowing audit procedures in this area, among others, toobtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence:
1. We assessed whether the accounting policy for revenuerecognition was appropriate according to the relevantaccounting standards.
2. We evaluated both the design and implementation ofessential internal financial controls relating to revenuerecognition. This evaluation included an examination ofgeneral IT controls and key application controls over ITsystems responsible for revenue recognition, focusingon access controls, controls over program changes, andthe interfaces between systems.
3. We perused selected samples of key contracts withcustomers to understand terms and conditionsparticularly relating to acceptance of goods.
4. For retail sales, we conducted substantive testing byusing statistical sampling to select transactions atretail outlets. We verified these transactions by tracingsales to corresponding collection reports and bankstatements.
5. We examined a sample of sales transactions conductedimmediately before and after the fiscal year-end. Weconfirmed that the timing of revenue recognition forthese transactions was consistent with the underlyingdocumentation.
2) INVENTORIES
The Jewellery and other allied products stock are held atvarious locations including manufacturing units, storesand third-party locations. The Company has a plan whereininventory is verified on a periodic basis to ascertainthe existence of inventory. Inventory valuation involvessignificant assumptions and estimations made by theManagement. Management also makes an estimate fornon- moving inventory based on the age of the inventory.
We have identified inventory as a key audit matter becauseof the number of locations that inventory is held at andthe judgement applied in the valuation of inventory andprovision for inventory.
In view of the significance of the matter we applied thefollowing audit procedures in this area, among otherprocedures, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
• We assessed the appropriateness of the inventoriesaccounting policies and its compliances with applicableaccounting standards.
• We evaluated the design of key internal financial controlsand operating effectiveness of the relevant key controlswith respect to physical verification of inventory andvaluation of inventory.

• For locations selected using statistical sampling andperformed surprise stock counts at select stores on asample basis.
• For samples selected using statistical sampling, we haveobtained confirmations of inventories held with thirdparties and respective stores.
• We tested, on a sample basis, the valuation of inventoriesas at the year end and the Management's assessment ofnon moving inventories held as at the balance sheet dateif any.
• We considered the adequacy and appropriateness of thedisclosures in the financial statements, relating to theinventories.
3) EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind ASFinancial statements:
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Ind AS Financial statements as a whole are freefrom 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 isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith 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, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these Ind ASFinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Ind AS Financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Undersection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in placeand the operating effectiveness of such controls.

4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the Ind AS Financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the Ind AS Financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the Ind AS Financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements inthe Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of theFinancial Statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i)planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effectof any identified misstatements in the FinancialStatements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear onour independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the Ind ASFinancial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe thesematters in our auditor's report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
