TheCompany has not made any contributions to Pension and Gratuity Trusts or any other fundbased on the percentage of salary towards Gratuity and Pension Liabilities. The Company hasnot recognized its defined benefit obligations based on the actuarial valuation as stated underIND AS 19. On account of this, we are unable to comment on the correctness and the impactof the cost of employee benefits charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss (including theOther Comprehensive Income) and the disclosures as required by IND AS 19 in the financialstatements.
We have not received confirmation of balances in respect of trade payables, trade receivables,investments, loans and advances received by the Company, loans and advances made by theCompany, stock-in trade, and capital work in progress. The management represented that thesebalances are realizable/settled in the ordinary course of business. In the absence of confirmationof balances, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments by way of provision fordoubtful debts/write-off were necessary at the year end.
Further attention is drawn to the presence of several inoperative bank accounts held by theCompany. In the absence of confirmation of the balances of these account balances and theother bank account balances, we are unable to form an opinion on the correctness of thebalances.
Further, attention is drawn to the non-furnishing of, during our audit, the underlying Agreementto the Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) issued by the Company. The Managementhas furnished us USD $65,250/-, the INR equivalent being Rs. 55,52,775. /- as the interestpayable on the FCCBs during the year under audit.

Following this, the Company paid Rs.0.68 Lakhs during FY2023-24 Subsequently, the Company received a reminder for the outstanding TDS demand on14.12.2024 for Rs 16.85 Lakhs. It is to be noted that no provision was made by the Companyagainst the said TDS demand during the year, Instead it has been disclosed as contingentliability in the financial statements

Our audit opinion is not modified in respect of the above.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,Board’s Report Including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report,Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the Standalonefinancial statements and our Auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of ouraudit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
The Company’s board of directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134 (5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair viewof the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian AccountingStandards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Indian Accounting Standards Rules, 2016. As amendedfrom time to time, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give atrue and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reportingprocess.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue an Auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards onAuditing 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 couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of theAct, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability 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 thestandalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourAuditors’ 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 standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work andin evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our Auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure 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 doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
