Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Allcargo Logistics Limited ("the Company") which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended and notes to the standalone financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as 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 the Standalone 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 43 of the standalone financial statements regarding accounting of demerger of certain businesses of the Company into Allcargo Terminals Limited and TransIndia Realty & Logistics Parks Limited under the Scheme of Arrangement (the ''Scheme'') approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (''NCLT''). As per the accounting treatment prescribed in the Scheme and Circular No. 09/2019 dated August 21, 2019 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (''MCA''), demerger has been accounted from the appointed date i.e. April 01, 2022. As per the provisions of Ind AS notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, the Demerger should have been accounted for from the date of transfer of control.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone 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.

Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
(a) Recoverability of trade receivables (as described in Note 7.2 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
The gross balance of trade receivables as at 31 March 2023 amounted to Rs. 34,706 lakhs, against which the Company has recorded expected credit loss provision of Rs. 3,179 lakhs. The collectability of trade receivables is a key element of the Company''s working capital management. The Company has a formal policy for evaluation of recoverability of receivables and recording of impairment loss which is applied at every period-end. In accordance with Ind AS 109 ''Financial Instruments'', the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables which is based on the credit loss incurred in the past, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company has also considered customer accounts as well as experience with collection trends and current economic and business conditions.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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.
⢠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, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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 standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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 standalone financial statements that give a true 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 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free
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.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
(a) Recoverability of trade receivables (as described in Note 7.2 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
The gross balance of trade receivables as at 31 March 2022 amounted to Rs. 70,086 Lakhs, against which the Company has recorded expected credit loss provision of Rs. 6,754 Lakhs. The collectability of trade receivables is a key element of the Company''s working capital management. The Company has a formal policy for evaluation of recoverability of receivables and recording of impairment loss which is applied at every period-end. In accordance with Ind AS 109 ''Financial Instruments'', the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables which is based on the credit loss incurred in the past, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company has also considered customer accounts as well as experience with collection trends and current economic and business conditions and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic relating to COVID -19. The Company''s disclosures are included in Note 2.2(f) and Note 2.2(s) and note 7.2 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for determining the allowance for doubtful debts and details of the year on year movement in gross and net trade receivables. |
Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: ⢠We evaluated the Company''s policies, processes and financial controls relating to the monitoring of trade receivables and review of credit risks of customers. ⢠Examined the management''s assessment of the customers'' financial circumstances and ability to repay the debt. ⢠Circularized requests for balance confirmations on sample basis and examined responses. ⢠Obtained evidence of receipts from customers. ⢠Inspected relevant contracts and correspondence with the customers on sample basis, assessment of their creditworthiness with reference to publicly available information, where applicable. ⢠Evaluated management''s estimates and the inputs used by management for development of the ECL model, analysis of ageing of receivables, assessment of material overdue individual trade receivables including specific customer balances and sector exposure. ⢠We tested the mathematical accuracy and computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by the Company. |
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
Income Taxes - recoverability of deferred tax assets (as described in Note 8 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
At March 31, 2022, the Company had net deferred tax assets of Rs. 7,098 Lakhs, which include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) of Rs. 7,653 Lakhs paid in accordance with the income tax provisions. MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet based on a judgment that it is probable that the future economic benefit in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability will be realized. Some of the Company''s units are located in tax-free zone/ area from which the profit earned is not subject to income-tax and this results in the Company being subject to paying MAT. The recognition of MAT and its subsequent assessment of recoverability within the allowed time frame involves significant estimate of the financial projections, availability of sufficient taxable income in the future and significant judgements in the interpretation of tax regulations and tax positions adopted by the management, based on which we determined MAT to be a key audit matter. The Company''s disclosures are included in Note 2.2(g) and Note 2.4 and Note 8 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for taxes and details of the year on year movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: ⢠We evaluated the Company''s accounting policies with respect to recognition of tax credits in accordance with Ind AS 12 "Income Taxes" ⢠We obtained an understanding of the process relating to recognition and assessment of recoverability of deferred tax asset and evaluated the design and tested the effectiveness of financial controls in this area relevant to our audit. ⢠We have evaluated the Company''s assumptions and estimates in relation to the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income based on most recent budgets and plans, prepared by management principally by performing sensitivity analyses and evaluated and tested the key assumptions used to determine the amounts recognized. ⢠We assessed the reasonableness of management''s business plans considering the relevant economic and industry indicators. ⢠We involved our tax specialists who evaluated the Company''s tax positions ⢠We have tested the mathematical accuracy of tax calculation and the MAT balance. We assessed the disclosures in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 12 "Income Taxes". |
Provisions and contingent liabilities including taxation related matters (as described in Note 26 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
The Company is contesting direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases and management exercises judgment in estimating the likelihood of any liability crystalizing on the Company. The evaluation of management''s judgments, including those that involve estimations in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and the quantification of the potential financial settlement have been identified as key audit matter during the current year audit. Evaluation of the outcome of the direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases, and whether the risk of loss is more likely than not or remote, requires significant judgment by management. The Company''s disclosures are included in Note 2.2(p) and Note 2.2(q) and Note 26 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for contingent liabilities and details of pending legal and direct and indirect tax litigation disclosed as contingent liabilities. |
Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: ⢠We evaluated the Company''s policy and processes for direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases. ⢠We assessed the design and implementation of the Company''s controls over the assessment of litigations and of disclosures. ⢠We examined regulatory correspondence to assess development in all pending cases against the Company. ⢠We discussed the status and potential exposures in respect of significant litigation and claims with the Company''s internal legal team including their views on the likely outcome of each litigation and claim and the magnitude of potential exposure and sighted any relevant opinions given by the Company''s advisors. ⢠For material tax matters, we involved our tax specialists to assess management''s application and interpretation of tax legislation affecting the Company, and to consider the quantification of exposures and settlements arising from the disputes with the tax authorities in the various tax jurisdictions. |
We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report. |
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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.
⢠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, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 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

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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.

the Standalone Financial Statements'' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the âCode of Ethics'' issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters.

Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
In calculating expected credit loss, the Company has also considered customer accounts as well as experience with collection trends and current economic and business conditions and has taken into account estimates of possible effect from the pandemic relating to COVID -19. The Company''s disclosures are included in Note 2.2 (f), Note 2.2 (s) and Note 7.3 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for determining the allowance for doubtful debts and details of the year on year movement in gross and net trade receivables. |
⢠Inspected relevant contracts and correspondence with the customers on sample basis, assessment of their creditworthiness with reference to publicly available information, where applicable. ⢠Evaluated management''s estimates and the inputs used by management for development of the ECL model, analysis of ageing of receivables, assessment of material overdue individual trade receivables including specific customer balances and sector exposure. ⢠We tested the mathematical accuracy and computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by the Company. |
Income Taxes - recoverability of deferred tax assets (as described in Note 8 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
At March 31, 2021, the Company had net deferred tax assets of '' 7,086 lakhs, which include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) of '' 11,292 lakhs paid in accordance with the income tax provisions. MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet based on a judgment that it is probable that the future economic benefit in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability will be realized. Some of the Company''s units are located in tax-free zone/ area from which the profit earned is not subject to income-tax and this results in the Company being subject to paying MAT. The recognition of MAT and its subsequent assessment of recoverability within the allowed time frame involves significant estimate of the financial projections, availability of sufficient taxable income in the future and significant judgements in the interpretation of tax regulations and tax positions adopted by the management, based on which we determined MAT to be a key audit matter. The Company''s disclosures are included in Note 2.2 (g), Note 2.4 and Note 8 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for taxes and details of the year on year movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: ⢠We evaluated the Company''s accounting policies with respect to recognition of tax credits in accordance with Ind AS 12 âIncome Taxesâ ⢠We obtained an understanding of the process relating to recognition and assessment of recoverability of deferred tax asset and evaluated the design and tested the effectiveness of financial controls in this area relevant to our audit. ⢠We have evaluated the Company''s assumptions and estimates in relation to the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income based on most recent budgets and plans, prepared by management principally by performing sensitivity analyses and evaluated and tested the key assumptions used to determine the amounts recognized. ⢠We assessed the reasonableness of management''s business plans considering the relevant economic and industry indicators. ⢠We involved our tax specialists who evaluated the Company''s tax positions ⢠We have tested the mathematical accuracy of tax calculation and the MAT balance. ⢠We assessed the disclosures in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 12 âIncome Taxesâ. |
Provisions and contingent liabilities including taxation related matters (as described in Note 26 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
The Company is contesting direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases and management exercises judgment in estimating the likelihood of any liability crystalizing on the Company. The evaluation of managementâs judgments, including those that involve estimations in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and the quantification of the potential financial settlement have been identified as key audit matter during the current year audit. |
Our audit procedures, among other things included the following: ⢠We evaluated the Company''s policy and processes for direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases. ⢠We assessed the design and implementation of the Company''s controls over the assessment of litigations and of disclosures. ⢠We examined regulatory correspondence to assess development in all pending cases against the Company. |
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
Evaluation of the outcome of the direct tax, indirect tax and legal cases, and whether the risk of loss is more likely than not or remote, requires significant judgment by management. The Company''s disclosures are included in Note 2.2 (p), 2.2 (q) and Note 26 to the financial statements, which outlines the accounting policy for contingent liabilities and details of pending legal and direct and indirect tax litigation disclosed as contingent liabilities. |

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
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 standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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 standalone financial statements that give a true 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 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠I dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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.
⢠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, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2021 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Allcargo Logistics Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A Companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31,2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Report on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Allcargo
Logistics Limited (''the Company''), which comprise the Balance sheet as
at March 31, 2014 and the Statement of Profit and loss and the Cash flow
statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s responsibility for the financial statements
The Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the ActÂ) read with the General Circular
15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in
respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility
includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control
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.
Auditors'' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information
required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair
view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India:

Company as at March 31, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and loss, of the Profit of the
Company for the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our report, we draw attention to note 46 of the
financial statements regarding the Scheme of Arrangement (''the Scheme'')
sanctioned by the Hon''ble High Court of Judicature at Mumbai. The
Scheme permits the Company to adjust the deficit of Rs. 3,410 Lakhs
arising against cancellation of Investment against the share capital of
the amalgamating company to goodwill, which is considered to be an
override to the relevant provisions of Accounting Standard 14 (AS 14)
Accounting for Amalgamations''. Had such deficit not being adjusted to
goodwill, the Company would have reflected such deficit of Rs. 3,410
Lakhs to general reserve account. Our opinion is not qualified in
respect to this matter.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003 (''the

We have audited the accompanying fnancial statements of Allcargo
Logistics Limited (''the Company''), which comprise the Balance sheet as
at 31 March 2013 and the Statement of proft and loss and the Cash fow
statement for the year then ended, and a summary of signifcant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s responsibility for the fnancial statements
The Management is responsible for the preparation of these fnancial
statements that give a true and fair view of the fnancial position,
fnancial performance and cash fows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act"). This responsibility includes
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and presentation of the fnancial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors'' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fnancial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the fnancial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the fnancial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the fnancial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the fnancial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fnancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffcient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
