with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those standards require that we comply with

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, 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 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, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, 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.

the Company''s ability to continue as going concern. As informed to us
by management, the Empowered Group of Corporate Debt Restructuring
(CDR) Cell has admitted the Company''s application under the CDR Scheme.
The Company''s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent,
interalia on the successful outcome of its application under CDR Scheme

and other reasons stated in the aforesaid Notes, the Company has
prepared the accompanying financial statements on going concern

Government for the ICT Project and invocation of bank guarantee of Rs.
295,000,000/-. The Company has filed a special leave petition in the
Hon''ble Supreme Court against termination order. The Company believes
that it has a strong case on merits. The matter, being sub judice,
pending the outcome of the legal proceedings, no adjustment has been
made to the carrying value of receivables of Rs. 748,319,014/- and of
the fixed assets of Rs. 1,002,144,968/- at this stage, for this

Company relating to trade receivables which have remained overdue for
