Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated

to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of
the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 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 that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in
the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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 the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgment, 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
financial control relevant to the Company's preparation of the
financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in
place an adequate internal financial control system over financial
reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the
Company's Directors, 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 on the standalone
financial statements.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
a) Attention is invited to Note 32 forming part of the Financial
Statements, regarding evaluation of long term investment by the
management. We have relied upon the confirmation by the management in
the absence of independent external evaluation.
b) As stated in Note 27 forming part of the Financial Statements,

Rs. 9,695,589, the Company has initiated legal and recovery actions,
the proceedings of which are in different stages.
In view of the above, the quantum of realisability of old outstanding
sundry debtors/ legally initiated debts is not ascertainable at this
stage.

explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter
described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph above, the
aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required
