Key audit matter

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Revenue from sale of products is recognised at a point in time
when control of the products is transferred to the customer.
The actual point in time when revenue is recognised varies
depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales
contracts entered with customers. Revenue from the sale of
goods is measured based on the transaction price adjusted
for discounts and rebates, which is specified in contract with
customers. The Company has many customers operating in
various geographies and sales contracts with these customers
have distinct terms and conditions relating to the recognition
of revenue and right of return.

We identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products
as a key audit matter considering:

Revenue is a key performance indicator for the Company.
Accordingly, there could be pressure to meet the expectations
of investors / other stakeholders and / or to meet revenue
targets stipulated in performance incentive schemes for a
reporting period. We have considered that there is a risk of
fraud related to revenue being overstated by recognition in the
wrong period or before control has passed during the year and
at period end.

Our procedures in respect of recognition of revenue included the

following:

» Verifying the accounting policies adopted by the Company
with respect to recognition of revenue by comparing with the
applicable accounting standards.

» Testing the design, implementation and operating
effectiveness of the Company's manual and automated
controls over revenue recognition.

» Performing substantive testing of selected samples of revenue
transactions recorded during the year as well as at year-
end. We used statistical sampling and verified contractual
terms of sales invoices / contracts, shipping documents and
acknowledged delivery receipts for those transactions.

» Analysing and testing high risk journal entries that contain
unusual combinations of credit to revenue with no associated
debit to cash, debtors or another revenue account.

» We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in the
financial statements as per the requirement of Ind AS 115
Revenue from contracts with customers.

We have audited the standalone financial statements
of Ajanta Pharma Limited (the “Company") which
comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31
March 2025, and the standalone statement of profit
and loss (including other comprehensive income),
standalone statement of changes in equity and
standalone statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including material 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
(“Act") in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of
the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit and
other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs
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 together with the ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial
statements under the provisions of the Act 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 on the
standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgement 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 as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.

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
Company's annual report, but does not include the
financial statements and 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 in the 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.

Management's and Board of Directors'
Responsibilities 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 state of affairs, profit/ loss
and other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) 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 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, the
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 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 is also 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
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 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 with reference
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 and Board of Directors.

» Conclude on the appropriateness of the
Management and Board of Directors use of the
going concern basis of accounting in preparation
of standalone financial statements 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.

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.
