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 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 standalone financial statements
or our knowledge obtained during the course of 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.
The Company''s Board of Directors are 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 as per
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind As") 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 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, the Board of
Directors 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 the Board of Directors 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.
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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 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.

|
|
1. |
The company applies Ind As -115 "Revenue received from Contracts with Customers" for recognition of revenue from sale of commercial and residential real estate, which is being recognised at point in time upon the Company satisfying its performance obligation and the control of the underlying asset gets transferred to the customer which is linked to the application and receipt of occupancy certificate. Ind AS 115 requires significant judgment in determining when ''control'' of the commercial/residential units is transferred to the customer. Further, for projects executed through JDA, significant estimate is undertaken by management for determining the fair value of the estimated construction service. Considering the significance of management judgements and estimates involved and the materiality of amounts involved, aforementioned revenue recognition is identified as a key audit matter. |

Related Party Transactions under Ind AS 24 - Related Party Disclosures |
|
|
The Company has undertaken transactions with its related parties in the ordinary course of business at arm''s length. These include making new or additional investments in its subsidiaries; sales and purchases to and from related parties, etc. as disclosed in note 37 to the standalone financial statements. We identified the accuracy and completeness of the 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 compliances thereon, during the year ended 31 March 2024. |

During the course of preparation of standalone financial statements for the year management of the company identified material prior period accounting errors in respect of:
(i) short recognition of net deferred tax asset of ''873.66 lacs in earlier periods
till March 31,2023, (ii) excess reversal of revenue of ''1041.61 lacs relating to earlier periods by crediting to an account under "Other Current Liabilities" & debiting to "Other Equity" while complying with requirements of lndAS-115 while migrating from IGAAP to IndAS.
These errors have been corrected in accordance with the requirement of applicable standard IndAS 8 by restating the
opening balance of deferred tax asset, liability on account of excess reversal of revenue & other equity for the current period i.e. 01st April, 2023 since it is impracticable to adjust comparative information for prior periods to achieve comparability with the current period as requisite data is not collected in prior periods in a way that allows retrospective restatement to correct a prior period error & it is impracticable to recreate the information.
Our opinion for the year ending March 31, 2024 is not modified with respect to this matter.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors'' Report thereon:
6. The Company''s board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises of the information included in the Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report 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 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 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, only then we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management''s responsibility for the standalone financial statements
7. The Company''s board of directors are 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 comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 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, 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
8. 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 Standard 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 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 standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statement may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; (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 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.
