Mar 31, 2025
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements
of Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited ("the Companyâ), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss
(including Other Comprehensive Income), Statement of Changes in
Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and
notes to the standalone financial statements, including material
accounting policy information and other explanatory information
(hereinafter referred to as the "standalone financial statementsâ).
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 Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act'') in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards
prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind ASâ) and
other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state
of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit (including
other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows
for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards
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
("ICAIâ) 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 obtained by
us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note No. 51 to the standalone financial statements
in respect of certain additions made by the Income Tax Authorities, on
account of undisclosed income and disallowance of certain deductions
claimed by the Company, in the assessment orders passed and a demand
raised on the Company for the assessment years ("AYâ) 2017-18, and
AY 2020-21 to AY 2023-24, pursuant to search and seizure proceedings
conducted under section 132(1) and section 133A of the Income Tax Act,
1961. The Company had filed an appeal with the Joint Commissioner
(Appeals) / Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) against the said
Orders and has paid tax under protest amounting to H 102.77 million.
Further as explained in the aforesaid note, the management of the
Company believes that the assessment orders under appeal; filed by
the Company would not have a material impact on the current period
standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. 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. We have

Information Other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the Annual Report
but does not include the standalone financial statements and our
auditor''s report thereon.
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 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.
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 Act with respect to the preparation of these
standalone 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 Accounting Standards
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 statement 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 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 the Board of Directors either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
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
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.
We give in "Annexure Aâ a detailed description of Auditor''s
responsibilities for Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements.

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss, including Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "standalone financial statements").
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 Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act'') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, of its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards 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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We draw attention to Note No. 50 of the financial statements in respect of additions made by the Income Tax Authorities consequent to an assessment order passed in relation to search and seizure conducted under section 132(1) and section 133A of the Income Tax Act 1961. The Company has filed an appeal with the Joint Commissioner (Appeals) or Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) of Income Tax against the said Order. As there is uncertainty on the ultimate outcome of the assessment proceedings, the impact on the current and previous period financial statements including income tax, interest and other charges if any, is currently unascertainable.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Independent Auditor''s Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2023,
and the Statement of Profit and Loss (Including Other
Comprehensive Income), Statement of Changes in Equity
and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and
notes to the standalone financial statements, including
a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
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 Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act'') in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section
133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS") and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, and
profit, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
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 obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements for the year ended March
31, 2023. 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 Matters
Allowance for expected credit loss for trade
receivables
Refer Note 13 of standalone financial statements with
respect to the disclosures of trade receivables.
As on March 31,2023, trade receivables amount to '' 796.55
million against which provision of '' 51.10 million was made
towards expected credit loss in the books of account.
Calculation of expected credit loss is a complex area and
requires management to make significant assumptions on
customer payment behaviour and estimating the level and
timing of expected future cash flows.
We have identified allowance for expected credit loss as
a key audit matter in view of the significant management
judgement and estimation uncertainty involved.
How Was the Key Audit Matter Addressed in the
Audit
Our audit procedures in respect of this area include but
are not limited to following:
⢠Obtained understating of the Company''s accounting
policy on assessment of impairment of trade
receivables, including design and implementation
of related management controls around it. We have
verified the operating effectiveness of these controls
on a sample basis.
⢠Requested for and obtained independent balance
confirmations from the Company''s customers on
sample basis.
⢠Obtained ageing report of trade receivables and
verified the completeness and accuracy of the
same. Also reperformed ageing for sample of
customer balances.
⢠Verified the appropriateness of the method and model
used for computing the ECL Provision and tested the
reasonableness of the underlying assumptions used
therein. Ensured the same is consistent with previous
years and free from management bias.
⢠Tested the mathematical accuracy of the computation.
⢠Compared the Company''s provisioning rates against
historical trend of actual collection data.
⢠Evaluated management comments and recovery
plans for trade receivables outstanding for more than
180 days, including validation of the same.
⢠Verified subsequent receipts after the year-end on
sample basis.
⢠Verified the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures
made in the financial statement in relation to such
provision in accordance with the requirements of the
relevant Ind AS.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
Directors'' Report including Annexures to the Directors''
Report but does not include the standalone financial
statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
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 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.
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 Act with respect to

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 Accounting
Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This

the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company
and for preventing and detecting frauds and other

or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.
Those 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
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
