Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and auditorsâ report
thereon
The Companyâs 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 auditorsâ report thereon. The Annual Report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors'' report.
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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone
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.
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.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) prescribed 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 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 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, the Board of Directors are 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
the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial
reporting process.
Auditorsâ 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 auditors'' 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 Standalone
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 the management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Director''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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors'' 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 auditorsâ 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
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditorsâ 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.

Expected credit loss on trade receivables |
|

The Company has outstanding trade receivables and Contract Asset of Rs.31,044.72 lakhs and Rs.87,456.12 lakhs respectively as at March 31, 2024, including overdue / aged receivables. The Company supplies missiles to its sole customer Ministry of Defence (MoD). The Company has past |

The Company has not provided for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) allowance on trade receivables considering the past business experience with MoD. Based on the above experience and using its best estimate, the Company has not accounted any ECL provision on the balance sheet date. Due to the significance of trade receivables and the related management''s judgement this is considered to be a key audit matter. |
MoD). ⢠Obtained an understanding of the managementâs plan and steps being taken to collect all receivables including overdue / aged receivables. ⢠Evaluated managementâs assessment of recoverability of the outstanding receivables from MoD including recoverability of overdue/ aged receivables through inquiry with management, and analysis of recent collection trends in respect of receivables particularly aged receivables. ⢠Evaluated managementâs assumption and judgement relating to collection considering business environment in which the Company operates and rights available with the Company to recover amount due from customer (i.e., MoD). ⢠Evaluated managementâs continuous assessment considering the collection against the overdue/ aged receivables.

Provision and contingent liabilities relating to ongoing litigations |

|
|
presented in Note No. 38(6) of the Standalone Financial Statements. The assessment of whether a liability is recognised as a provision or disclosed as a contingent liability in the Standalone Financial Statements is inherently subjective and requires significant management judgement in determination of the cash outflows from the business, interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and careful examination of pending assessments at various levels of authorities. Since the amounts involved are significant and due to the range of possible outcomes leading to high estimation uncertainty that requires significant management and auditor judgement, this matter is considered to be a key audit matter for the current year audit. |

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and auditorsâ 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 financial statements and our auditorsâ report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors'' report.
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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed 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 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 financial statements, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditorsâ 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 auditorsâ 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 Standalone 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 the management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Director''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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors'' 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 auditors'' 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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors'' 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.

We draw attention to Note 38(25) to the standalone financial statements regarding ifnpact on the company''s operation due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
We draw attention to Note: 38 (27) regarding the impact on the financials due to change in Accounting Policy on Customer Financed assets.
We draw attention to Note No 38(7) to the standalone financial statements:
The Company holds inventory valued at Rs 8,350.75 lakhs as at 31.03.2023 that was procured for certain orders. These orders were short closed by the customer. The company holds advance from customer of Rs 36,234.42 lakhs relating to such orders. The inventories are nonmoving for more than five years. As per company''s accounting policy redundancy provision is to be recognised for inventory which are non-moving for more than five years. No redundancy provision is recognised for these inventories.
The company contends that the customer has impliedly agreed to take over the inventory against the advance which is sufficient to cover the value of inventory. Hence no loss would be incurred by the company on this account and no redundancy provision is therefore considered necessary. There is no explicit term in the sale contracts to set-off the advance to the value of inventory.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report thereon
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s Annual Report but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditorâs 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 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 misstatemenj>-of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to repopf^fo^ this regard. / »/ff
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone 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, 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder.
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 the 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 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 financial statements, management and Board of Directors are 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. Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s 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 mairtM&i^
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: (J râ
I *>4â
⢠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 controls.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 control with reference to standalone 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 in preparation of Standalone Financial Statements 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone Ind AS 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 (i) in planning the scope of our audit work aryla in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identif/$Ly misstatements in the financial statements. I *A
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.

e. the right of the lessor to retrieve the leased property in certain circumstances. We reviewed the correspondence between the company and the lessor on the relevant subjects such as levy of service charges, request for extension of lease and lessor''s intention to retrieve the leased property. We assessed the legal rights and obligations of either party flowing from the lease deed. We reviewed the status of the project for which the right to use asset was acquired and the circumstances around it as at the date of balance sheet. We evaluated the management''s assessment of the attendant circumstances leading to the decision to recognise impairment. The audit procedures adopted by us did not lead to any reservations regarding the impairment assessment. |
|
Contingent Liabilities disclosed with regard |
Our audit procedures relating to Contingent Liabilities disclosed regarding certain legal and tax matters included the following: ⢠We understood, assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls surrounding assessment of litigations relating to the relevant laws and regulations; ⢠We discussed with the management the recent developments and the status of the material litigations; ⢠We performed our assessment on a test basis on the underlying calculations supporting the contingent liabilities/other |
|
to taxation related disputes |
|
|
The company is in litigation with the tax r departments on various issues, received demands, deposited a portion of the demands under protest and has contested against the orders in appropriate forums. In one instance the first appellate authority has decided against the company. The issues involved are varied. The company has not made any provision for these demands which total to Rs 30,951.31 lakhs crores. All the demands are treated as contingent liabilities. |
|
This is a key audit matter, as evaluation of these matters requires management judgement and estimation, interpretation of laws & regulations and application of relevant judicial precedents to determine whether a provision is required or the same may be disclosed as a contingent liability, and making related disclosures in the financial statements. Refer Note Nos 38 (6) and Accounting Policy No. 16 |
significant litigations disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements; ⢠We used our expertise to gain an understanding and to evaluate the disputed tax matters; â¢We evaluated the orders raising the demands and other communication from regulatory authorities and management responses thereto; ⢠We evaluated management''s assessments by understanding precedents set in similar cases and assessed the reliability of the management''s past estimates/judgements; ⢠We evaluated management''s assessment around those matters that are not disclosed or not considered as contingent liability, as the probability of material outflow is considered remote by the management; and ⢠We assessed the adequacy of the Company''s disclosures. Based on the above work performed, the assessment in respect of litigations and related disclosures relating to contingent liabilities/other significant litigations in the Standalone Financial Statements is considered reasonable. |

Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note Nos. to the standalone financial statements specified below:
Note No. 38(1): The exceptional item of Rs 3,358.57 lakhs reported in the profit & loss account represents recognition of impairment of a right to use asset and infrastructure created thereon. The right to use was acquired in 2014 for a specific project of Government of India. The project is yet to be finalized. The company''s right is tempered with timelines which the company has not complied. The lessor has exercised its option to repossess the asset due to non-compliance. The company is pursuing with the lessor for extension of timelines. The company has recognised impairment pending such extension.
Note No. 38(7): The company holds unusable inventory of Rs 9,446 lakhs which relates to an order that is since cancelled by the customer. The company holds a customer advance of Rs 36,234.42 lakhs. No provision has been made towards such inventory which is held as a current asset. The company contends that the customer''s advance held is sufficient to cover the value of inventory, so no loss would be incurred by the company on this account and hence no provision is considered necessary.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters.
Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report thereon
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s Annual Report 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 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.
Management''s responsibility for the Standalone 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, 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder.
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 the 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 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 financial statements, management and Board of Directors are 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. Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s 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:
⢠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 controls.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 control with reference to standalone 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 in preparation of Standalone Financial Statements 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone Ind AS 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 (i) in 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 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.

The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatements, 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 Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting.
4. 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 expenditure of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directions 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 material effect on the financial statements.
5. 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 controls over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
6. Opinion:
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on âthe internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Indiaâ.
