We have audited the accompanying Ind AS Standalone
Financial Statements of Atishay Limited (“the Company”),
which comprises the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2026, 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
ended on that date, and notes to the standalone financial
statements, including a summary of the significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter
referred to as “the standalone financial statements”)
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 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 March 31, 2026, and its profit, total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows
for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements 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
(ICAI) 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 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.
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 as a whole, and in forming
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Company's Board of Directors are 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 a 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 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 including other comprehensive income, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2016, as amended
from time to time, 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 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
