We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Jet Airways (India) Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of 31 March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements 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 (âthe Guidance Noteâ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ). 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 companyâs 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.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 with reference to financial statements 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 with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 auditorâs 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 Companyâs internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over with reference to financial statements
A companyâs internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 with reference to financial statements 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 companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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, maintained an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Annexure - B to the Independent Auditors'' Report
(Referred to in our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'')
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Jet Airways (India) Limited ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
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 (''the Guidance Note'') 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 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 auditorâs 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 companyâs 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, maintained 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of JET
AIRWAYS (INDIA) LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31st March, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the
Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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 financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting
and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in
the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, 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 financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, 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 on the standalone
financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
give the information required by 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 state of affairs of the Company as
at 31st March, 2015, and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the Notes to the
financial statements:
a) Note 32 to the financial statements in respect of loan given to its
wholly owned major subsidiary ("subsidiary company") of Rs. 209,412 lakhs
(net of provision) as at 31st March 2015 (Rs. 196,392 lakhs as at 31st
March 2014). The subsidiary company has a negative net-worth of Rs.
243,428 lakhs as at 31st March 2015 (Rs. 214,289 lakhs as at 31st March
2014). On a consideration of factors as explained in the note and
based on recent valuation report, the Company has made a provision for
doubtful loan of Rs. 22,739 lakhs so as to fairly reflect the recoverable
amount of the loan. The assessment of remaining carrying amount of loan
is critically dependent upon the achievement of the expected operating
performance by the subsidiary company after implementation of the
business plan as mentioned in the note.
b) Note 42 in the financial statements which indicate the preparation
of financial statements of the Company on going concern basis for the
reasons stated therein. The appropriateness of assumption of going
concern is dependent upon realisation of the ongoing synergies from
alliance with the Strategic Partner and/or the Company's ability to
raise requisite finance/generate cash flows in future to meet its
obligations, including financial support to its subsidiary companies.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

(INDIA) LIMITED ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at

accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company''s Management is responsible for the preparation of these
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies
Act, 1956 ("the Act") (which continue to be applicable in respect of
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular
15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate
Affairs) and in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. 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. 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 Company''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the 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.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the
information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a
true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31st March, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the
Company for the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to following notes to the financial statements:
(a) Note 32 regarding amount of investments in and advances to its
wholly owned major subsidiary aggregating to Rs. 360,892 lakhs as at 31st
March 2014 (Rs. 298,160 lakhs as at 31st March 2013). The subsidiary has
a negative net worth of Rs. 214,289 lakhs (Rs. 171,358 lakhs as at 31st
March 2013). On a consideration of factors as explained in the note,
the Company has made a provision of Rs. 70,000 lakhs so as to fairly
reflect the ''other than temporary'' diminution in such investment. The
assessment of carrying amount of investment is critically dependent
upon the achievement of the expected operating performance by the
subsidiary after re-organization of the fleet as mentioned in the note.
(b) Note 42 regarding preparation of financial statements of the
Company on going concern basis for the reasons stated therein. The
appropriateness of assumption of going concern is dependent upon
realisation of the synergies from alliance with the Strategic Partner
and/or the Company''s ability to raise requisite finance/generate cash
flows in future to meet its obligations, including financial support to
its subsidiary.

31st March, 2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company''s Management is responsible for the preparation of these
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 211(3C)
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") and in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility
includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the 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

effectiveness of the Company''s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the 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. Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the
information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a
true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India :
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31st March, 2013;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the
Company for the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to following notes to the financial statements :
(a) Note 29 A (b) (ix) which describes the uncertainty related to the
outcome of the continuing litigation with erstwhile shareholders of Jet
Lite (India) Limited. During the previous year, in terms of the order
passed by the Honourable High Court of Bombay disposing off the claim,
the Company had discharged Rs. 11,643 lakhs as interest @ 9% p.a.. The
counterparty''s claim contesting this judgment seeking increased
compensation and interest was dismissed by the Honourable High Court of
Bombay. The Special Leave Petition filed by the parties is pending
before the Honourable Supreme Court of India. Based on legal advice and
pending final determination, the amount paid to the counter party has
not been recognised as interest in the accounts.
(b) Note 32 regarding amount of investments in and advances given to
its wholly owned major subsidiary aggregating to Rs. 298,160 lakhs as
at 31st March 2013. The accumulated losses have fully eroded the net
worth of the subsidiary in past and its negative net worth as at the
year-end raised to Rs. 171,358 lakhs. The estimation is critically
dependent on the achievement of the projections of operating
performance by the subsidiary as mentioned in the Note.
(c) Note 39 regarding preparation of financial statements of the
Company on going concern basis for the reasons stated therein.
The appropriateness of assumption of going concern is dependent upon
implementation of the alliance with Strategic Partner and/or the
Company''s ability to raise requisite finance/generate cash flows in
future to meet its obligations, including financial support to its
subsidiary.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Jet Airways (India)
Limited ("the Company") as at 31st March , 2012, and the Statement of
Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year
ended on that date, both annexed thereto. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and the disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principle used and the significant estimates
made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
3. Without qualifying our opinion, we invite attention to the
following notes:
i) Note no. 32 (b) (viii) regarding the continuing litigation with
erstwhile shareholders of Jet Lite (India) Limited. During the year,
the Honorable High Court of Bombay had disposed off the Execution
application in terms of which the Company paid Rs. 11,643 lakhs as
interest @ 9% p.a. The counterparty contested this judgment and sought
increased compensation and interest @18% p.a. instead of 9% p.a. while
the Company challenged the levy of interest in toto. Consequent to the
dismissal of this matter by the Honorable High Court of Bombay, both
the parties filed a Special Leave Petition which is pending before the
Honorable Supreme Court of India. The management has, based on legal
advice and pending final determination, not recognized the amount paid
as aforesaid as interest in the accounts.
ii) Note no. 35 regarding investments in and advances given to its
subsidiary aggregating to Rs. 292,739 lakhs (Previous year Rs. 317,451
lakhs). The accumulated losses have fully eroded the net worth of the
subsidiary and its negative net worth as at the year-end is Rs 141,826
lakhs (Previous year Rs. 123,533 lakhs). An external valuation report
obtained by the management covers the carrying value of such investment
/ advance and accordingly no provision for diminution/recoverability is
considered necessary by the management. In view of the prevailing
situation in the aviation sector, the valuation as aforesaid is
dependent on the achievement of the projections as regards operating
performance by the subsidiary.
iii) Note no. 1 A (c) regarding preparation of financial statements of
the Company on going concern basis for the reasons stated therein. The
appropriateness of assumption of going concern is critically dependent
upon the Company's ability to raise requisite finance / generate cash
flows in the near future to meetits obligations.
4. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 (CARO),
issued by the Central Government of India in terms of Section 227(4A)
