The Comparative financial information of the Company for
the year ended 31st March 2024 included in these Ind AS
financial statements, are based on the previously issued
statutory financial statements prepared in accordance with
the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 audited by
the same auditor and our reports for the year ended 31st March
2024 dated 16/05/2024 expressed an unmodified opinion on
those financial statements, and the transition date opening date
opening balance sheet as at 1st April 2023 included in these Ind AS
financial statements, are based on the previously issued statutory
financial statements prepared in accordance with the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 audited by the Predecessor
Auditor and their report dated 29/05/2023 expressed an Qualified
opinion on those financial statements.
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 IND AS financial statements and our auditor''s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone IND AS 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 IND AS 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 during the course of our 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.
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 INDAS financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,
including other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the IND AS
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 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 INDAS
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 IND AS 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 is also responsible for overseeing
the Company''s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the standalone IND AS 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 IND AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 financial 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 system 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 the 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 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.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of
the standalone IND AS financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone IND AS 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
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 of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

the company has paid remuneration to its directors during
the year in accordance with the provisions of section 197
of the Act.

Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. Change in Accounting Policy
a) Change in the method of accounting for providing Gratuity from cash basis to accrual basis:
Had the Company continued to follow cash system of Providing Gratuity as per the previous financial year, the profit for the year would have been higher by Rs 10.22 lakhs and liability of âprovision for Gratuityâ would have been lower to that extent.
b) Change in the method of providing Gratuity & resultant impact in the opening balance as per the previous financial year ended on 31.03.2022 from cash basis to accrual basis:
Had the Company continued to provide the gratuity on cash basis for the earlier years, then opening balance of Reserves & Surplus would have been higher by Rs 19.51 lakhs and liabilities of âProvision for Gratuityâ would have been lower to that extent.
c) Directly debiting the Provision for Gratuity of earlier years to the Opening Balance of Reserves &Surplus instead of routing through Statement of Profit and loss.
Had the company debited earlier year provision for gratuity to the statement of Profit and loss account, the profit for the year transferred to Reserves & Surplus would have been lower by Rs 19.51 lakhs.

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.
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 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 Standards on Auditing 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 Standards on Auditing, 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 system 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 standalone financial statement 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.
