We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Arman Financial Services Limited ("Herein

Changes in Equity and the Consolidated statement of Cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information ("herein

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the
consideration of reports of other auditor on separate financial statements of a subsidiary - Namra Finance Limited as
were audited by the other auditor, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 (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 consolidated state of affairs of the Group, as at 31 March 2023, of its
consolidated profit and other comprehensive loss, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the
year then ended.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s
Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements under the provisions of
the Act and the Rules made 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 along with the consideration
of audit reports of the other auditors referred to in the "Other Matters” paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion on the Consolidated 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,
Consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit, of
the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.

MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Holding Company''s Management and the Board
of Directors are responsible for the 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 state of affairs, consolidated profit
/ loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated
statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash
flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards (''Ind AS'') specified under section

The respective Management and the Board of Directors of
the companies included in the Group are responsible for
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets
of each company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities; the 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

OTHER INFORMATION

The Holding Company''s management and the Board of
Directors are responsible for the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in
the Holding Company''s annual report, but does not include
the consolidated financial statements and our auditor''s
report thereon. The other information is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.

Our opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we
read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the
matter to those charged with governance. We have nothing
to report in this regard.

ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of
the consolidated financial statements that give a true and
fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose
of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by
Management and the Directors of the Holding Company,
as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the
respective Management and the 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 the respective Board of Directors 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
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:

• 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.

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial 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 Group has
adequate internal financial controls system 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 the 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 ability of the Group
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 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 the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the entities or business
activities of the Holding Company and its Subsidiary
to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial
Statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the audit of
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.

We communicate with those charged with governance
of the Holding Company and such other entities included
in the Consolidated Financial Statement 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.

Annexure "B" to Independent Auditor''s Report

Referred to in paragraph 4(ii)(f) of our Report of even date to the Members of ARMAN FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED for the year ended 31st March, 2016.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company''s 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. 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 company''s 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 Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors'' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s 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 "Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 auditor''s 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 Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company''s 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 company''s 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 company''s 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 31st March 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.
