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 qualified audit
opinion.
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS
1. We draw attention to the Note 42 to the Standalone Financial Statements which describes that The Company had invested
Rs.20,000 Lakhs (face value) in Secured Non-Convertible Debentures issued by IL&FS Transportation Networks Ltd (ITNL), a
subsidiary of Infrastructure Leasing & Finance Ltd (IL&FS). A Resolution process was initiated under Sections 241 and 242 of
the Companies Act, 2013 under the supervision of National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). The Ld NCLAT directed
ITNL to make an interim distribution to the creditors, pursuant to which ITNL made partial interim distribution to the creditors
including the Company. In view of the uncertainty on further distribution, without prejudice to its rights, adopting
conservative approach, the Company has impaired and written off an amount of Rs. 13,557.10 lakhs till March 31,2025 which
was included under Exceptional items in financial statements of the respective periods. Subsequent to year end, the Company
has received further interim distribution of Rs.1,050.49 lakhs, aggregating to the total interim distribution of Rs.7228.49Lakhs.
2. We draw attention to Note 43 to the statement which describes that The Company had invested in 9% Yes Bank Perpetual
Additional Tier I (AT-1) Bonds amounting to Rs. 30,000 Lakhs (face value). The Final Reconstruction Scheme of Yes Bank by
Government of India had excluded the writing off AT-1 bonds. However, Yes Bank through its Administrator informed the
stock exchanges that Additional Tier I Bonds for an amount of Rs. 8,415 crores were written down permanently which led
to legal actions by the trustees and by the Company. The Hon'ble Bombay High Court quashed and set aside the decision
of the Administrator which has been challenged by Yes Bank and RBI before the Hon'ble Supreme Court where the matter
has been stayed subject to the final order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The arguments have been completed by the parties,
and the matter has been reserved for order. In view of the uncertainty prevailing in the matter and irrespective of the final
decision in the case, the Company expects an impairment. Hence, adopting a conservative approach, the Company has
impaired and written off amount of ? 10,000.00 lakhs during the previous year ended March 31, 2025, which was included
under Exceptional items in financial results.
3. We draw attention to Note 46 to the Statement which describe that The Board of Directors of the Company, in its meeting
held on February 18, 2025 approved the participation and support of the Company to the Scheme of Arrangement between
National Spot Exchange limited ("NSEL") and the Specified Creditors i.e., traders having outstanding claims above 10 lakhs).
The Board also approved the payment of Rs. 1,950 Crore ("Settlement Amount"), in accordance with the terms of the Scheme,
towards settlement of the claims of Rs. 4610 Cr. Approx. to 5682 Specified Creditors. This Scheme of Arrangement between
NSEL and the Specified Creditors ("Scheme") came into place on the initiative of an investors' association called NSEL Investors
Forum ("NIF") who came up with a proposal for a One-Time Full and Final Settlement ("OTS") between the traders, NSEL and
the Company to bring an end to all the litigations and to settle the claims of the traders. The Scheme entails payment of a
Settlement Amount of Rs. 1,950 Crore by the Company to the Specified Creditors in proportion to their outstanding claims
as on July 31, 2024. The Scheme envisages that on payment of the Settlement Amount, it would result in closure of
proceedings against the Company and the Persons in 63 moons Group (as defined in the Scheme) and release and discharge
the Company and the Persons in 63 moons Group from the Specified Creditors' Claims and removal of restraints in dealing
with its properties. The Scheme entails assignment of Specified Creditors' Claims to the Company on payment of the
Settlement Amount. The Scheme seeks a structured resolution through a statutory mechanism provided by the Companies
Act, 2013.
National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai ("NCLT") on application filed by NSEL, directed to convene a meeting of Specified
Creditors through postal ballot with a facility of voting through electronic means (e-voting) for the purpose of considering,
and, if thought fit, approving the proposed scheme. The Scheme has been duly approved in number 92.81% of Specified
Creditors and value 91.35% in accordance with section 230 of the Companies Act 2013 and the relevant provisions. This
approval exceeds the statutory majority required by Section 230(6) of the Companies Act 2013, that is a majority in number
representing three-fourths in value. NSEL filed a Company Petition before the Ld. NCLT seeking approval of the Scheme,
which was sanctioned by Ld. NCLT vide order dated November 28, 2025. Some of the traders challenged the NCLT Order
sanctioning Scheme, before Ld. National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ("NCLAT") and the same has been dismissed by
the Ld. NCLAT. one of the trader challenged the said dismissal NCLAT order before the Hon'ble Supreme Court; however, the
same was dismissed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The Company is presently taking the necessary steps before the
appropriate courts/tribunal to give effect to the Scheme.
Our opinion is not modified in respect these matters of emphasis.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements taken as a whole; in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Apart
from 'Basis for qualified opinion' we have determined the key audit matters as described below:
A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments
B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customer
C. Contingent liabilities
A. A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments
Description of key audit matter
The Company has investments net of provision of Rs. 72,411.45 Lakhs as at March 31, 2026 consisting of investments in the
equity instruments of subsidiaries, third party bonds, mutual funds, other equity instruments etc. and are valued as per Ind
AS 109, "Financial instruments". By their nature, these are subjected to various factors related to respective investee entities
including but not limited to, economic factors, business dynamics, financial performance etc. and impact a fair valuation of
these investments. Accordingly, this necessitates a close monitoring by the management of these situations and judgement,
based on appropriate evaluation criteria to arrive at a fair value of carrying amounts of these assets as at balance sheet date.
Against this background, this matter was of significance in the context of our audit.
Description of Auditor response
We have carried out a comparison between carrying value of investment as at balance sheet date and net worth as reflected
by latest audited financials of investee companies. Wherever carrying amount of investment is more than the net-worth of
investee Company we have discussed and enquired with the management the process followed by them to identify
permanent diminution, if any, in the value of investment and necessary accounting treatment adopted in the books. In
addition, management has provided us with the future business plans, wherever necessary and how in their business
judgement such gap between investment and net-worth of the investee is either compensated with improving business
conditions or valuations of such entities. Going forward our regular audit procedures are designed to keep a follow up on
outcomes of these management assertions.
B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customer
Description of key audit matter
Revenue amounting to Rs.10,944.13 Lakhs including the revenue from discontinued operations reported in the Company's
financial statements pertains to customer specific contracts and the same are required to satisfy the recognition and
measurement criteria as prescribed in IND AS 115, 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'. Company's revenue is bifurcated
into three main parts (a) revenue from software products (IPR based licenses); (b) revenue from software services and (c ) IT
infrastructure income. Certain contracts necessarily involve estimations and certain assumptions to be made by the
management in determining the quantum of revenue to be recognised in specific period. This inherently creates certain
uncertainties and results in complexities in accounting treatment wherein incorrect assumptions and estimates can lead to
revenue being recognised in incorrect accounting periods thereby impacting the results. Considering these factors, in the
context of our audit this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.
Description of Auditor's response
With a view to verify the reasonableness of the revenue accounting we carried out following procedures:
a) Understanding the internal control environment for revenue recognition and to test check with a view to verify its
operating effectiveness;
b) Major contracts were read and analysed to verify correctness of accounting of revenue as calculated by the Company's
Management;
c) Discussed with the management process of identification of variable consideration and verified the working on test basis;
d) Verified the working of unbilled revenue and unearned revenue on test basis;
e) Performed analytical procedures and obtained reasons for major variances;
f) Ensured that revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting policy of the Company and Ind AS 115;
C. Contingent liabilities
Description of key audit matter
Contingent liabilities as at March 31,2026 amounted to Rs.14,832.68 Lakhs, which mainly include pending income-tax matters
and certain legal cases other than those forming basis for our qualified opinion. Contentious income tax matters relate to
interpretational differences between the Company and various tax authorities, certain matters subjected to internal circulars
and guidelines within tax authorities irrespective of stated legal provisions sometimes requiring decision making only by
higher tax authorities through appellate procedures resulting in delays in outcome. Given the current legal and operational
embargo that the Company is facing, it is subjected the multiple litigations by and on the Company sub-judice at various
courts and levels requiring the Company's Management to exercise significant judgement on these outcomes to determine
the liabilities that are contingent in nature. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit, this matter was of significance
and hence a key audit matter.
Description of Auditor's response
With a view to ensure that disclosures made by the Company in Note 32 to the Standalone Financial Statements, are
determined appropriately and prudently, we obtained information of pending income-tax matters from the Company and
have obtained/verified the documents including the communication with the departments provided by the Company. In
addition, we have carried out comparison with respect to previous year and obtained/reviewed documentation for additional
tax matters arisen during the year. Our tax team has carried out discussions with the Company's internal tax team on these
cases mainly with respect to issues raised by various tax authorities in their communication to the Company to substantiate
Company's assessment that there are no present obligations perceived.
With respect to legal cases disclosed to us, we have obtained updates on pending cases from the management and discussed
it with the Company's internal legal department, wherever necessary. We carried out a comparison between the latest status
and immediate previous status. While comparing, we have tried to ascertain the appropriateness, without being judgemental,
of the management judgement exercised in updating to the latest status and have tried to evaluate an impact on such
ascertainment of whether the Company liabilities to which it is contingently liable are appropriately ascertained with
prudence principle.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON
(HEREINAFTER REFERRED AS "OTHER INFORMATION")
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Directors' Report including any annexures thereto, Corporate Governance Report and Management
Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.
These reports are 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 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 these reports, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter
to those charged with governance and describe actions applicable as per applicable laws and regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS.
The Company's Management and 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, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Ind AS. 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, Company's Management and 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 management and 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 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 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 scepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.
D. 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 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.
E. 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.
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 reasonably knowledgeable user 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.
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.
