We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of SALASAR TECHNO ENGINEERING LIMITED ("the
Companyâ), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31,2025, the statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
Standalone Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial
Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025 and its profits, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
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
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(" ICAIâ) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the Standalone 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 Standalone
Financial Statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period.
We have not determined any matters to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
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 Standalone
Financial Statements and our
auditor''s report thereon which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
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, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we will communicate the
matter to those charged with governance and take necessary action as per applicable laws and regulations.
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, 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 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.
(a) 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.
(b) 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 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3Xi) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on
whether the Company has adequate 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 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.
(c) Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonable knowledgeable users of the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial
Statements.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) 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 be reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were
necessary for the purposes of our audit.
b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our

effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate Report in "Annexure Aâ. Our report expresses an unmodified opinion

individually or in the aggregate) have been advanced or loaned or invested (either from borrowed funds or share
premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any other person or entity, including foreign
entity ("Intermediariesâ), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary
shall, whether, directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever

shall, whether, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Funding Party ("Ultimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on
behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.
(c) Based on the audit procedures that have been considered reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, nothing
has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11(e),
as provided under (a) and (b) above, contain any material misstatement.
(d) (A) No final dividend has been proposed in the previous year, declared and paid by the Company during the year

the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software. Further, during the course of our audit we did not come
across any instance of audit trail feature being tampered with and the audit trail has been preserved by the company
as per the statutory requirements for record retention.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial

We have not determined any matters to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.
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

obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
When we read the other information and if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we will
communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and take necessary action as per applicable laws and
regulations.
Management''s Responsibility 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, 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 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.
(a) 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.
(b) 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 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
controls relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)® of the
Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate
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 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.
(c) Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or
in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonable knowledgeable users of the
Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
(d) We communicate with those charged with

with governance, we determine those matters that
were ofmost significance in the audit ofthe 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 be reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.

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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit.

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.
Inherent 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.
