Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (''SAs'') specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act, and the rules 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Emphasis of Matter

4. We draw attention to note 29(iii) to the Standalone Financial Statements mentioning that the Company is in process of appointing new directors on the Board to comply with Regulation 17(1)(c) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Key Audit Matters

5. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Assessment of valuation of investments measured at fair value for which no listed price in an active market is available and valuation is carried out basis market information and significant unobservable inputs. (Refer note 33 to the standalone financial statements.) The Company has investments in Venture Capital Funds (“VCF”) units amounting to '' 347.82 crores measured at fair value, where no listed price in an active market is available. The corresponding fair value change is recognised in statement of profit and loss in accordance with related Accounting Standard (Ind-AS 109). In measuring the fair value of these investments, the management considers the net asset value (“NAV”) declared by the investment managers of the VCF unit. NAV is considered as a significant unobservable input as the Company does not have direct access to the valuations of the underlying portfolio companies in which the VCFs have invested. The management also reviews the performance of the portfolio companies on a regular basis by tracking the latest available financial statements/financial information, valuation report of independent valuers, investor communications and basis the said assessment determines whether any discount is required to be applied on the NAV communicated by the investment managers of VCF. The assessment made by the management also takes into consideration the illiquidity considering the said investments are not actively traded in the market. The assessment prepared by the management is placed before the Board of Directors for their approval at regular intervals. Considering the inherent subjectivity in the valuation of the above investments, relative significance of these investments to the standalone financial statements and the nature and extent of the audit procedures involved, we determined this to be a key audit matter.

The following procedures were performed by us to test the valuation of investments which are measured at fair value for which no listed price in an active market is available: a. We obtained an understanding from the management, assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company''s control over assessment of fair value of investments. b. We verified that requisite approvals are in place with regards to Management''s assessment of fair valuation of investments in VCF. c. We traced the inputs used in the calculation from the source data (Statement of Accounts, NAV declared etc.) to verify the arithmetical accuracy of the calculation of valuation of investments. d. We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures in the standalone financial statements. Based on our above audit procedures, we consider that the management''s assessment of the fair value of the above investments for which no listed price in an active market is available is reasonable.

Other Information

6. The Company''s 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 Financial Statements and our auditors'' report thereon. The Other Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.

7 Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

8. In connection with our audit of the Standalone 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.

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

9. The Company''s 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 state of affairs, profit and 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'') specified under section 133 of the Act. 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 Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

10. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is 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 intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

12. 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.

13. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

13.1. 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.

13.2. 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) 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.

13.3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management.

13.4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 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.

13.5. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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 year 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.

Other Matter

17. We draw attention to note 24(iii) of the Standalone Financial Statements which highlights that as part of simplification of corporate structure, the Board of Directors of the Company along with the three Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (“WOS”) IDFC Alternatives Limited, IDFC Trustee Company Limited and IDFC Projects Limited, approved the merger of WOS into the Company, subject to receiving regulatory approvals from various authorities. Post Board approval, the Company along with its three WOS has filed scheme of amalgamation with Official Liquidator (“OL”) - Chennai and Regional Director / Registrar of Companies (“ROC”) -Chennai on 06 December 2021. The ROC, Chennai vide its letter dated 01 February 2022 intimated no observation / suggestions to the aforesaid scheme of amalgamation. Also, the OL of Madras High Court vide its letter dated 24 March 2022 communicated no observation to the aforesaid scheme of amalgamation. The Company filed petition with National Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”) -Chennai on 13 April 2022. NCLT heard the petition on 20 October 2022 and passed the order on 22 November 2022 in favour of the Company. Appointed date of the merger being 01 April 2021, the Company has given effect to the Order and have prepared merged accounts for all the periods appearing in the Standalone Financial Statements. Consequently, the previous year numbers presented in the Standalone Financial Statements has been restated. Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements is not modified in respect of the above matter.
