Mar 31, 2025
We have audited the financial statements of
USHA FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED (âthe
Companyâ), which comprise the balance
sheet as at March 31,2025, the statement of
profit and loss, and statement of cash flows
for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
BASIS OF 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
âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statementsâ 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
Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
1.We draw attention to note no. 37 in the
financial statement where the Company
has given multiple unsecured loans to two
borrowers. The total amount of loan
outstanding for these borrowers as at
March 31, 2025, is Rs. 445.25 Lakhs and
Rs. 247.17 Lakhs respectively and the EMI
for these loans remain unpaid for the
period from 602 days to 619 days. As at
March 31,2025, the Company has already
created a provision for 20% of these
outstanding amounts basis its provisioning
policy. As at March 31, 2025, none of the
above debts crossed the threshold for 630
days for 100% provisioning. However, all
these debts crossed that threshold before
the date of these financial results. The
debt should therefore be categorized as
doubtful and the provisioning for 100% of
the amount should be created by the
company and the profits should be
adjusted accordingly.
However, the management of the
Company is of the opinion that the RBI
provisioning needs to be carried out
based on the outstanding as at particular
date and as at March 31,2025, the debt is
not overdue for more than 630 days. Thus,
100% provision as per RBI norms cannot
be created for this amount.
Moreover, as per management view,
based on facts that the company received
EMI in the month of Mayâ2025, this is not
a loss asset as the borrower has started
paying his EMI and the debt is expected to
be regularized. Thus, 100% provision for
the total outstanding amount (after
adjusting for one EMI received in
Mayâ2025) has not been created by the
management for these outstanding loans.
2. We draw attention to note no. 37 in the
financial statement where the Company
has given secured loans to the borrower.
The total amount of loan outstanding for
this borrower as at March 31, 2025, is Rs.
1212.46 Lakhs which were given by the
Company during the FY 2024-25.
The Insolvency proceedings have been
initiated against this Company on Feb 20,
2025. As at March 31, 2025, the EMI for
these loans remain unpaid for the period
from 93 days to 125 days. The
management of the Company is expected
to get a favorable recovery of the amount
through the resolution process of the
borrowers and till the time the resolution
process is finalized, the management is
creating provisioning for these amountsâ
basis the RBI applicable norms & its
provisioning policy.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of
these matters.
OTHER INFORMATION:
The /Companyâs 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 financial statements and our
The annual report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this
auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does
not cover the other information and we will
not express any form of assurance or
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the 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 financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT
AND THOSE CHARGED WITH
GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The Companyâs Board of Directors is
responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe
Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these
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 generally accepted 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 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
Board of Directors is responsible for
assessing the Companyâs 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 Companyâs
financial reporting process.
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
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
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.
> 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.
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.
