We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Mohit Industries Limited (“theCompany”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of CashFlows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and otherexplanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the standalone financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for theeffects of matter described in the 'Basis of Qualified Opinion' Paragraph below, the aforesaid standalonefinancial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true andfair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of theCompany as at 31st March 2024 and its Loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income),its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
The company has not provided for Post-Employment Benefits and other long term employee benefits underDefined Benefit Plans on accrual basis but provides the same as and when they become due for payment. Thismethod of accounting of Post-Employment Benefits and other long term employee benefits under DefinedBenefit Plans is in deviation with Ind AS - 19 on Employee Benefits. As there is no actuarial report or basis ofcalculation available with the management of such Post-Employment Benefits and other long term employeebenefits, the quantum of deviation cannot be ascertained. If the company had followed the method accountingas per Ind AS - 19, then employee benefit expense would have increased and correspondingly Profit for theperiod would have reduced.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10)of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in theAuditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Board of Directors report, but does not include the financial statements andour auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated. When we read the Board of Directors' report, if we conclude that there isa material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged withgovernance.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act withrespect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows ofthe Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability 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 tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud and error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with 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 fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, 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 thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with referenceto standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures in the standalone financial statements made by the Management andBoard of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concernbasis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the interim condensed standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the interim condensed standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of
our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the interim condensed standalonefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, 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 with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may be reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
