(including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash
Flows for the year ended on that date and a summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as âfinancial statementsâ).
2. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except
for the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion Paragraph, the
aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the. Companies Act, 2013 (the âAct") in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind
AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,

Basis for Qualified Opinion
3. As stated in note 18.1 of notes to the financial statements, there is outstanding interest free unsecured
loan liability of Rs.769.68 lakhs as on balance sheet date. These loan amounts were mainly borrowed in
past period (detailed ageing of outstanding loan is not available) from the ex-director and member of the
Company. Based on the information and explanation given to us, the Company is in process of discussion
with the ex-director and member for waiver of loan liability and the final settlement is expected to be
completed in the next financial year. Pending final settlement, balance confirmation for outstanding loan
liability as at balance sheet date are obtained from the Company.

erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 and not repaid to that member as per the transition provision under the
Act.
In regard to the loan liability, the Company is in the process of regularizing the non-compliances with
section 73 and 74 of the Act.
Considering the above, our opinion on financial statement for the year ended 31st March, 2025 is qualified
and the financial impact will be given in the books of account when the matter is resolved. This matter
was qualified by us in our limited review reports for nine-months ended 31st December, 2024.
4. We conducted our audit 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 Auditorâs
Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
5. Attention is invited to note 54 of notes to the financial statements which indicate that the Company has
incurred loss during the current year as well as in the previous years, current liabilities are higher than its
current assets and its net worth is negative as on 31s1 March, 2025. These conditions indicate the
existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt about entityâs ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company has received commitment from the promoters / management for infusing the
funds as and when required for any working capital requirement or any other shortfall that may arise.
Accordingly, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. Our opinion is not modified

regularizations.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter
Key Audit Matter
8 Except for the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph and Material Uncertainty
Related to Going Concern, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in
our independent auditor''s report.
Information other than the financial statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
9. The Companyâs 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, Boardâs
Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report and Shareholderâs information, but does not include the
financial statements and our independent auditorâs report thereon. These reports are expected to be made
available to us after the date of this independent auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
When we read these reports, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of directors for the Financial Statements
10 The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in
t accordance with the Ind AS and 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 financial statements that give a true and fair
view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the management and the 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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
11 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 auditorâs 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 judgment 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Linder 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
respect 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 the management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Directors 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 auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 reasonably knowledgeable user 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 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.
Other matter
12. The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2024 were audited by another
auditor whose report dated 27th May, 2024 expressed an unmodified opinion. We have relied on the said
financial statement for the purpose of confirming the opening balances of assets, equity and liabilities as
on 1sl April, 2024 in respect of the year under audit. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above
matter.

⢠The Companyâs 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,
Boardâs Report including Annexure to Boardâs Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the financial statements and our
auditorâs report there on.
⢠Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the 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.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial
statement
The Companyâs 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 including other comprehensive Income, cash
flows and statement of changes of equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS )
referred to in Section 133 of Companies Act 2013 read with 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 judgment 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 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
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 auditorâs 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
