Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies
Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the

to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of
the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the ICAI''s 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 financial statements.

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 of the current period.

We have determined that there are no key audit matters to

communicate in our report.

information other than the Financial statements and auditor''s
Report thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Management
Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexures
to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not
cover the other information and we will 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
identified above when it becomes available and, indoing so,
consider whether the 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 the fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.

management''s Responsibility for the 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 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 IndAS
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
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 implementation and maintenance
of 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 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, 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.

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

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the 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 financial
statements.

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
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 financial controls
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 financial controls
system with reference to standalone 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial
statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonable knowledgeable
users of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the
scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work;
and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in
the financial statements.

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 financial statements of the current
period 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

ANNEXURE "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ''Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements'' section of our report to the Members of Rama Steel Tubes Limited of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting 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 RAMA STEEL TUBES LTD. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 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 Board of Directors of the Company 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. 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, 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.

Auditor''s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls.

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 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 company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, 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.
