In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the partnership entities, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (âthe Actâ) 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 March 31, 2023, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
We draw attention to the following notes to the accompanying standalone financial statements:
(i) Note 38(b)(vi) in connection with the wholly-owned subsidiary being subject to an ongoing litigation with its customer Pending resolution of the litigation and based on legal opinion obtained by the management, no provision has been made towards the resulting impact of customer''s counter-claims on the subsidiary in the accompanying standalone financial statements.
(ii) Note 38(b)(vii) in connection with certain ongoing property related legal proceedings in the Company. Pending resolution of the legal proceedings and based on legal opinions obtained by the management, no provision has been made towards any claims and the underlying recoverable, deposits and advances are classified as good and recoverable in the accompanying standalone financial statements.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above 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 financial 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.
" Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
(a) Recognition of Revenue from Contract with Customers (as described in Note 25 and 39 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
The Company applies Ind AS 115 for recognition of revenue from real estate projects. The revenue from real estate projects is recognised at a point in time upon the Company satisfying its performance obligation and the customer obtaining control of the underlying asset, which involves significant estimates and judgement. For revenue contract forming part of Joint Development Arrangements (âJDA'') that are not jointly controlled operations, the revenue from the development and transfer of constructed area/revenue share with a corresponding land/ development right received by the Company is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered by the Company to the land owner under JDA. Such revenue is recognised over a period of time in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115. For contracts involving sale of real estate inventory property, the Company receives the consideration in accordance with the terms of the contract in proportion of the percentage of completion of such real estate project and represents payments made by customers to secure performance obligation of the Company under the contract enforceable by customers. Application of Ind AS 115 involves significant judgment in determining when âcontrol'' of the property underlying the performance obligation is transferred to the customer Further, for revenue contract forming part of JDA, significant estimate is made by the management in determining the fair value of the underlying revenue. As the revenue recognition involves significant estimates and judgement, we regard this as a key audit matter |
Our audit procedures included, among others, the following: - We have read the accounting policy for revenue recognition and assessed compliance of the policy in terms of principles enunciated under Ind AS 115. - We assessed the management evaluation of determining revenue recognition from sale of real estate inventory property at a point in time in accordance with the requirements under Ind AS 115. - We obtained and understood the revenue recognition process and performed test of controls over revenue recognition including determination of point of transfer of control, completion of performance obligation and amount of estimated construction service under JDA, on a sample basis. - We performed test of details, on a sample basis, and tested the underlying customer/JDA contracts, evidencing the point of transfer of control of the asset to the customer based on which the timing of revenue recognition and completion of performance obligation are determined. - We obtained the joint development agreements entered into by the Company and compared the ratio of constructed area/ revenue sharing arrangement between the Company and the landowner as mentioned in the agreement to the computation statement prepared by the management, on a sample basis. - We obtained and tested the computation of the amount of the estimated construction service under JDA, on sample basis. - We tested the computation for recognition of revenue over a period of time for revenue contracts forming part of JDA and management''s assessment of stage of completion of projects and project cost estimates on a test check basis. - We assessed the disclosures made by management in compliance with the requirements of Ind AS 115. |
Recording of related party transactions and disclosures (as described in Note 40 of the Standalone financial statements) |
|
The Company has undertaken transactions with its related parties, which includes making new or additional investments in its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and lending and borrowing of loans; and other transactions to or from the related parties. We identified the recording of related party transactions and its disclosure as set out in respective notes to the Standalone financial statements as a key audit matter due to the significance of transactions with related parties and regulatory compliance thereon. |
Our audit procedures included, among others, the following: - Obtained and read the Company''s policies, processes and procedures in respect of identifying related parties, obtaining approval, recording and disclosure of related party transactions. - Read minutes of shareholder meetings, board meetings and minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, as applicable, in connection with Company''s assessment of related party transactions being in the ordinary course of business and at arm''s length. - Tested, on a sample basis, related party transactions with the underlying contracts, confirmation letters and other supporting documents. - Agreed the related party information disclosed in the financial statements with the underlying supporting documents on a sample basis. |
Recoverability of the carrying value of inventory and land advances/deposits (as described in Note 08, 10 and 13 of the Standalone financial statements) |
|
As at March 31, 2023, the carrying value of the inventory of real estate projects is Rs. 4,738.30 crores and land advances/ deposits of Rs. 184.89 crores. The inventories are carried at the lower of cost and Net Realisable Value (NRV). The determination of the NRV involves estimates based on prevailing market conditions and taking into account the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects and selling costs. Deposits paid under joint development arrangements, in the nature of non-refundable amounts, are recognised as land advance under other assets and on the launch of the project, the same is transferred as land stock under inventories. Further, advances paid by the Company to the seller/ intermediary towards outright purchase of land is recognised as land advance under other assets during the course of transferring the legal title to the Company, whereupon it is transferred to land stock under inventories. The aforesaid deposits and advances are carried at the lower of the amount paid/payable and net recoverable value, which is based on the management''s assessment including the expected date of commencement and completion of the project and the estimate of sale prices and construction costs of the project. We identified the assessment of the carrying value of inventory and land advances/deposits as a key audit matter due to the significance of the balance to the financial statements as a whole and the involvement of estimates and judgement in the assessment. |
Our procedures in assessing the carrying value of the inventories/land advances/deposits included, among others, the following: - We read and evaluated the accounting policies with respect to inventories/land advances/deposits. - We assessed the Company''s methodology applied in assessing the carrying value including current market conditions, applied in assessing the net realizable value, launch of the project, development plan and future sales. - We obtained and tested the computation involved in assessment of carrying value and the net realisable value/ net recoverable value on test check basis. - We enquired from the management regarding the project status and verified the underlying documents for related developments in respect of the land acquisition, project progress and expected recoverability of advances paid towards land procurement (including deposits paid under JDA), on test check basis. |

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 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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 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 including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 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 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 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 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 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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 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 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 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 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 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 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 accompanying financial statements include the Company''s share of net profit/(loss) after tax in respect of 4 partnership entities, whose financial statements and other financial information include the Company''s share of net profit/(loss) after tax Rs. (2.71) crore and total comprehensive income of Rs. (2.71) crore for the year
ended March 31, 2023, as considered in the accompanying financial statements, whose financial statements have been audited by their respective independent auditors.
The reports of such other auditors on financial statements of these partnership entities have been furnished to us and our opinion on the accompanying financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these partnership entities, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.
Our opinion on the financial statements is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors.

The Companyâs 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements based on our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Financial Statements

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone 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.
