Basis for Qualified opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs). 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 (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made 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 audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
With respect to the following matters mentioned in the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2020
(“the Order”) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of Sub- Section (11) of Section 143(3) of the Companies Act, 2013 We
report that
I) The Company has incurred cash Losses for the year 2023-24 to the Extent of ' 516.64 lakhs (Previous year ' 537.07 Lakhs).
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those that, in our professional Judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the
current period. These Matters if any, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
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.
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 no material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
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, total comprehensive income,
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 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, 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 Director's are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Further, as per section 134 of the Companies Act, 2013, the standalone financial statements of a Company are required to be authenticated
by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, where authorized by the Board or at least two Directors, of which one shall be the Managing
Director or the CEO (being a Director), the CFO and the Company Secretary where they are appointed. In view of the pendency of Liquidation
Process as a going concern, these powers, including aforementioned responsibility for the standalone financial statements, in terms of the
code, are now vested with Mr. Kshitiz Gupta to carry out the functions of the Company in his capacity as the Liquidator. However, Mr. Gupta
has given limited authority to the KMP's of the company and they are responsible for preparing the standalone financial statements under
the supervision of Mr. Gupta.
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 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 controls.
• 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 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.
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 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 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.
