Refer Note 30 to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Additionally, revenue accounting standard contains disclosures which involves collation of information in respect of disaggregated revenue and periods over which the remaining performance obligations will be satisfied subsequent to the Balance Sheet date.

Auditor''s Response to Key Audit Matters

We understood and evaluated the Company''s process, procedure and designed our audit approach consisted testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls and procedures as follows:

• Evaluated the effectiveness of control

over the preparation of information that are designed to ensure the completeness and accuracy.

• Selected a sample of continuing and new

contracts, and tested the operating effectiveness of the internal control, relating to identification of the distinct performance obligations and determination of transaction price. We carried out a combination of procedures involving enquiry and observation, reperformance and inspection of evidence in respect of operation of these controls.

• Tested the relevant information,

accounting systems and change relating to contracts and related information used in recording and disclosing revenue in accordance with Ind AS 115.

III. Disputes and potential litigations:

Refer to Note 39.D.I.a.i. in the

standalone financial statements

Key Audit Matters

The Company is subject to a number of legal, regulatory and tax cases for which final outcome cannot be easily predicted and which could potentially result in significant liabilities.

The assessment of the risks associated with the litigations is based on complex assumptions. This requires use of judgment to establish the level of provisioning, increases the risk that provisions and contingent liabilities may not be appropriately provided against or adequately disclosed. Management judgement is involved in assessing the accounting for demands, and in particular in considering the probability of a demand being successful. The risk related to the claims is mainly associated with the completeness of the disclosure, and the completeness of the provisions in the financial statements.

Accordingly, this matter is considered to be a key audit matter.

Auditor''s Response to Key Audit Matters

In order to get a sufficient understanding of litigations and contingent liabilities, we have discussed the process of identification implemented by the Management for such provisions through various discussions with Company''s legal and finance departments.

We read the summary of litigation matters provided by the Company''s/ Unit''s Legal and Finance Team. We read, where applicable, external legal or regulatory advice sought by the Company.

We discussed with the Company''s/ Unit''s Legal and Finance Team certain material cases noted in the report to determine the Company''s assessment of the likelihood, magnitude and accounting of any liability that may arise.

In light of the above, we reviewed the amount of provisions recorded and exercised our professional judgment to assess the adequacy of disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Information Other than the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows 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 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 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the company or cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS 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 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 Ind AS 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 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has 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 Ind AS 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

Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.

III. Disputes and potential litigations:

Refer to Note 39.D.I.a.i. in the standalone financial statements

Key Audit Matters

The Company is subject to a number of legal, regulatory and tax cases for which final outcome

cannot be easily predicted and which could potentially result in significant liabilities.

The assessment of the risks associated with the litigations is based on complex assumptions. This requires use of judgment to establish the level of provisioning, increases the risk that provisions and contingent liabilities may not be appropriately provided against or adequately disclosed. Management judgement is involved in assessing the accounting for demands, and in particular in considering the probability of a demand being successful. The risk related to the claims is mainly associated with the completeness of the disclosure, and the completeness of the provisions in the financial statements.

Accordingly, this matter is considered to be a key audit matter.

Auditor''s Response to Key Audit Matters

In order to get a sufficient understanding of litigations and contingent liabilities, we have discussed the process of identification implemented by the Management for such provisions through various discussions with Company''s legal and finance departments.

We read the summary of litigation matters provided by the Company''s/ Unit''s Legal and Finance Team. We read, where applicable, external legal or regulatory advice sought by the Company.

We discussed with the Company''s/ Unit''s Legal and Finance Team certain material cases noted in the report to determine the Company''s assessment of the likelihood, magnitude and accounting of any liability that may arise.

In light of the above, we reviewed the amount of provisions recorded and exercised our professional judgment to assess the adequacy of disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Information Other than the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board''s Report including Annexures

to Board''s Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows 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 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 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 standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the company or cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS 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 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 Ind AS 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 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements 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 (‘ICAI’). 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 were 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 standalone Ind AS 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 controls 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 controls 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 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 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 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 on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting polices used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in Paragraph 3 above and subject to our comments in Paragraph 4 above, we report as follows:

(a) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit.

(c) The Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the Books of Accounts maintained by the Company.

and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in Sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Companies Act 1956 except Accounting Standard 9 relating to Revenue Recognition in respect of Sales relating to:

a. Items covered under Note No: C (2)(i), Schedule 25 where, in our opinion, significant risks and rewards have not been passed on to the customers on or before 31st March 2010 on the lines expressed by the Expert Advisory Committee of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India resulting in overstatement of Sales to the extent of Rs. 29821.68 Lakhs and Net profit before tax to the extent of Rs. 3943.78 Lakhs with consequential effect on Sundry Debtors & Inventories and

Reference is invited to the disclosure in Note No.C(2)(i), Schedule 25 forming part of Accounts. Further, it is stated that in respect of sales valued at Rs.29821.68 lakhs, the revenue recognition is consistent with past practice and is in line with the opinion of the Expert Advisory Committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Legal Opinions and the relevant judgment of the Honble Supreme Court of India.

The Company has taken initiatives with the Customers to specify "Ex-works" delivery conditions in their Purchase Orders in order to remove the ambiguity in interpretation as to the timing of transfer of risks and rewards of Ownership especially considering the fact that the transport and insurance arrangements are being made by the Company for and on behalf of Customers with the attendant costs and consequences. The Company under its open policy specifies the Customer/Consignee as the beneficiary under the Insurance Policy. In all these cases, the Customer reimburses the cost of transport and Insurance under express provisions in the contract. This practice of Revenue Recognition is not only in line with the Accounting Policy of the Company and the provisions of Indian Sale of Goods Act, 1930, but also accepted by Customers supported by the Custodian Certificates. In case of GC Notes Sales, efforts are being made with Customers to change the Payment term from "Payment on receipt of equipments" to "Payment against dispatch documents".

As against Rs.29821.68 lakhs recognized as sale for FY 2009-10 covered by GC and CC a sum of Rs. 12560.39 lakhs have already been collected as on 24/06/2010.

b. Certain cases where the significant risks and rewards of ownership in terms of the contract have not passed on to the buyer on or before 31/03/2010 resulting in overstatement of Sales by Rs. 8660.16 Lakhs and overstatement of Profit by Rs. 2754.70 Lakhs with consequential effect on Sundry Debtors and Inventories.

In respect of sales valued at Rs.8660.16 lakhs disclosed vide Note No.C(2)(ii), Schedule 25 forming part of Accounts the revenue recognition is based on unconditional appropriation in line with the Accounting Policy as at 4(i). In terms of Section 23(1) of Indian Sale of Goods Act, 1930, the property in the Goods has been transferred to the Customers by unconditional appropriation of equipments in a deliverable state. In terms of Section 23(2) of the Act the unconditional appropriation is complete by delivering the goods to the Carrier without reserving the right of disposal. All the equipments have been dispatched to and received by Customers as on 24/6/2010. Further, a sum of Rs. 5968.23 lakhs have also been collected from Customers.

Accordingly, the Revenue Recognition amounting totally to Rs.8660.16 lakhs is in order.

(e) We further report that without considering the impact of items mentioned in Paragraph 4 above the effect of which is not presently ascertainable, had the observations made by us in Paragraphs 5(d) above been considered:

(i) Sales for the year would have been Rs. 317285.85 Lakhs instead of Rs. 355767.69 Lakhs reported by the company;
