has utilised/ applied an amount of Rs. 72,961.20 lakhs (net of deferred tax) from the outstanding balance in
the securities premium account for creating a provision for impairment losses on financial instruments instead
of debiting the same to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss, which is not in strict accordance with the
applicable Indian Accounting Standards and other applicable regulations. Consequently, the Company''s net loss

Holding Company qualifies to fall under the category of an unregistered CIC and has written to RBI for their view

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters of emphasis.Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the consolidated 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 that there are no key audit matters to communicate with respect to the Holding Company.
Management''s and Board of Director''s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
The Holding Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)
of the Act with respect to preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the
requirements of the Act, that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial
performance, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. The respective management
and Board of Directors of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements are responsible for
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the
assets of each 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 financial statements/consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which has been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated
financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the
companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each company 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.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial
reporting process of each Company.
Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
B. 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 system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation
of consolidated financial statement and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption.
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 consolidated 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 to cease to continue as a going concern.
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in
the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included
in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality 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 financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in
consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.
A. We did not audit the annual financial statements / financial information of 23 subsidiaries and 11 trusts included
in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial information reflect total assets of Rs. 7,38,764 lakh as
at 31 March 2023, total revenue of Rs. 81,249 lakh, total net loss after tax Rs. 52,846 lakh, total comprehensive
loss of Rs. 52,048 lakh and cash outflows (net) Rs. 36,796 lakh for the year ended on that date, as considered
in the Statement. These annual financial statements / financial information have been audited by respective
auditor whose audit reports have been furnished to us by the Holding Company''s management, and our opinion
in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries is based solely on
the audit reports of such other auditors, and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph above.
B. The consolidated financial statements include the annual financial statements/ financial information of 3

total assets of Rs. 19,119 lakh as at 31 March 2023, total revenue of Rs. 30 lakh, total net loss after tax of
Rs. 1,073 lakh, total comprehensive loss of Rs. 961 lakh and cash outflow (net) of Rs. 721 lakh for the year
then ended, as considered in the Statement. These financial statements / financial information have been
certified and furnished to us by the Holding Company''s management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the
amounts and disclosures included in respect of aforesaid subsidiaries, is based solely on such unaudited financial
statements / financial information. In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations given to
us by the Holding Company''s management, these financial statements/ financial information are not material to
the Group.
C. Further, these subsidiaries, are located outside India, whose annual financial statements / financial information
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries. The
Holding Company''s management has converted the annual financial statements / financial information of such
subsidiaries from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles
generally accepted in India. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the balances and affairs of these subsidiaries is
based on such unaudited financial statements / financial information and the conversion adjustments as carried
out by the Holding Company''s management.
D. According to the information and explanations given to us by the Holding Company''s management, one foreign
subsidiary is de-registered and its financial information for the year ended 31 March 2023 is not material to the
group.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of audit reports of the other auditors
referred to in the other matter paragraph, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
consolidated financial statements.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, and our report on other legal and regulatory requirements
below, is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports
of the other auditors and the financial statements certified by the management.

Emphasis of Matter - Registration with Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

5. We draw attention to note 53 to the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes the uncertainties relating to COVID-19 pandemic and impact on the standalone financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2021, the extent of which is dependent on future developments. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
6. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. 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 that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
8. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Company''s Board of Directors. 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
11. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.
12. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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 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 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;
13. 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.
14. 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.
