AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2025-03 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hindustan Motors Limited ("the Company”), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the
Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as 'financial
statements').

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid 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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, 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 financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the
Audit of the 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules issued 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 audit opinion on the financial statements.

Material Uncertainty related to ‘Going Concern’

We draw attention to the following Note to the financial statements:

Note 40 to the financial statements, which indicates that the Company does not have any operations. The Company had
earned substantial gains from disposal of its old and obsolete assets including equipment during the current financial year
and in the immediately preceding financial year, which had resulted in its current assets exceeding current liabilities, also
led to significant reduction of the accumulated losses and ultimately its net worth turned positive. However, the Company
continues to prepare its financial statements on a 'going concern' basis for the reasons stated in the said Notes.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the matter.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the following Note to the financial statements:

Note 42 to the financial statement, which states order issued for resumption of HM Uttarpara land by the Government of
West Bengal. Application filed before West Bengal Land Reform and Tenancy Tribunal (WBLRTT) and after conclusion of final
hearing, an appeal filed by the Company before Hon'ble Calcutta High Court against the order passed by WBLRTT, for which
hearing is in process

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period. These matters 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. In addition to the
matters described in the 'Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern' and 'Emphasis of Matter' paragraphs herein above,
we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Sr. No.

Key Audit Matters

Auditors’ Response

1.

Evaluation of various disputed claims
including taxes against the Company pending
under appeals

The Company has material amount of disputed
claims including taxes and these are at
present pending for adjudication at various
forums, which involves significant judgment
to determine the possible outcomes of these
pending disputes, as their likely outcome shall
be known in future.

Principal Audit Procedures Performed

Obtained detailed list of all pending claims including taxes based
on tax assessments and demands up to the year ended March 31,
2025 from Management. We have checked the relevant papers
and documents and also verified Management's underlying
assumptions in estimating the tax provision and the possible
outcome of the pending litigations. In course of our verification,
we have also considered legal precedence and other rulings in
evaluating Management's position on these uncertain tax positions.

Audit Conclusion:

Refer Note Nos. 1(n) and 36 to the financial

Our procedures did not identify any material exceptions.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon

The Company's Management and 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, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information included in the Annual report, but does
not include the financial statements and auditors' report thereon.

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 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 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 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 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 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 statement
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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. In this context attention is drawn to Note 40 to the

financial statements about the Company's ability to continue as a 'going concern' and the Company continues to prepare its
accounts on a "Going Concern” basis 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.

Auditors’ 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 auditors' 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 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 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 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. Attention is drawn to Material Uncertainty related to 'Going
Concern' paragraph in our report herein above with related disclosures in the Note 40 to the financial statements. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditors' 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.
