AUDITOR'S REPORT

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

1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of IFB Industries Limited ("the Company"),
which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Standalone Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone
Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material
accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

2. 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, 2025, and total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and
other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit 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 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.

Key Audit Matters

4. 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. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be
communicated in our report.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Assessment of carrying amount of equity investments
in the Associate

(Refer to Note 1B(k) "Investment in Subsidiaries and
Associate" under Material Accounting Policies, Note
2 "Use of Estimates and Judgements" - Impairment of
Investments and Note 5 "Investments")

The Company carries its equity investments in the
associate at cost less provision for impairment, if
any, and tests these for impairment where there is an
indication that the carrying amount of investments
may not be recoverable. The Company's equity
investments in the Associate as at March 31, 2025 is
Rs. 97.00 Crores. On the basis of certain impairment
indicators, the management has carried out an
assessment.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Obtained an understanding from the management,
assessed and tested the design and operating
effectiveness of the Company's key controls over
the impairment assessment of its investments in the
Associate.

• Evaluated the Company's process regarding
impairment assessment, inter-alia, by involving
auditor's valuation experts to assist in assessing
the appropriateness of the impairment assessment
model, assumptions underlying the estimate of
future cash flows, the growth rate, discount rate
and terminal growth rate, etc.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

For the said assessment, the management has
estimated the recoverable amount of the investments
based on discounted cash flow model which requires
judgements in respect of certain key inputs such as
assumptions on growth rates, discount rate and the
terminal growth rate.

Significant judgements are involved in the aforesaid
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model.
The impairment assessment of investments in equity
shares of the Associate is a Key Audit Matter due to
the uncertainty of forecasts, discounting future cash
flows being inherently subjective, and significant level
of management's judgement and estimation involved.

• Evaluated the cash flow forecasts with the latest
budgets, actual past results, other supporting
documents, as applicable, and the understanding
of internal and external factors.

• Checked the mathematical accuracy of the model.

• Assessed the sensitivity analysis and evaluated
whether any reasonably foreseeable change in
assumptions could lead to impairment.

• Discussed the key assumptions and sensitivities
with those charged with governance.

• Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in
the standalone financial statements.

Other Information

5. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company's Annual Report 2024-2025, 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 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

6. 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards 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.

7. In preparing the standalone financial statements, Board of Directors 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 Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

8. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities tor the Audit of the Standalone Financial statements

9. 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.

10. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism
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 standalone 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. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

Other Matter

14. The standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024, were audited by another firm
of chartered accountants under the Act who, vide their report dated May 28, 2024, expressed an unmodified opinion
