AUDITOR'S REPORT

You can view full text of the latest Director's Report for the company.
Year End :2026-03 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of Pudumjee Paper Products Limited ("the Company”),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, 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 ended on that date,
and a summary of the significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as
"the 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, 2026, the profit and 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 SAs 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
independence requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the 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
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
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.
We have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

The key audit matter

Auditor’s Response

Intercorporate Loans:

The Company has an outstanding inter-corporate loan
balance of H9.45 crores as of March 31,2026 (original disbursed
principal: H20 crores), from an unlisted corporate entity (the
"Borrower”). The loan carries a contractually agreed interest
rate of 15% p.a. and is secured by a charge over specific
real estate premises owned by the Borrower's directors and
relatives of such directors.

We identified the evaluation of the recoverability and
expected credit loss provisioning of this loan as a Key Audit
Matter due to the following critical indicators:

1. Frequent Maturity Extensions: During the current
financial year, the Investment and Borrowing Committee
approved a further extension of the tenure up to June 30,
2026. While these extensions were executed prior to the
respective maturity dates, they represent a prolonged
exposure period.

Our procedure included, but were not limited to the
following:

Contractual and Authorization Review: We reviewed the
original loan agreement, subsequent addendums, and
verified the approvals of the Investment and Borrowing
Committee for the tenure extensions executed during the
year to confirm that they were contractually formalized
before their respective maturity dates.

Interest and Subsequent Receipts Verification: We

recalculated the outstanding normal interest of H1.08 as
of the balance sheet date. We verified subsequent interest
recoveries made after the balance sheet date through bank
statements and reviewed the accounting treatment for tax
deducted at source (TDS), as well as the expected timelines
for receiving the corresponding TDS certificates.

The key audit matter

Auditor’s Response

2. Persistent Interest Servicing Delays: There have been
significant delays in interest servicing during the current
year. Normal interest outstanding as of the balance sheet
date amounted to H1.08 crores (representing outstanding
dues since July 2025). The Company has contractually
permitted penal interest rights of 2% per month on
delayed payments, which management has chosen not
to levy and/or recognise as income as of now on prudent
basis.

3. Credit Risk Evaluation: Management has identified a
Significant Increase in Credit Risk under Ind AS 109
due to these payment delays. However, the Investment
Committee has determined that the Expected Credit Loss
(ECL) on this facility is nil, relying on their assessment
that the fair value of the underlying collateral remains
sufficient to cover the entire outstanding exposure.

The evaluation of the recoverable amount of the loan,
the valuation of the underlying collateral, and the
assessment of the credit stage under the ECL framework
require significant management judgment, making this
area a key focus of our audit.

ECL Framework and SICR Evaluation: We evaluated
management's assessment of stage classification under
Ind AS 109. We assessed the criteria used to identify the
Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) and classification
as not SICR but 'considered good' category in financial
statement. We critically analysed management's justification
for maintaining a nil ECL provision based on collateral
sufficiency.

Reporting and Disclosures: We verified that the transaction
details, outstanding balances, security terms, and staging
classifications have been appropriately disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements and under the relevant
clauses of the Companies Auditor's Report Order (CARO),
2020.

Provisions and contingencies

In earlier years, the Company had received total demands of
H3,312.98 lakhs from MSEDCL/MERC on power purchased from
outside vendor under group captive power mechanism.

In FY 2019-20, the Company paid H432 lakhs under protest
against demands. Following subsequent favourable orders
from the Appellate Authority and MERC, the Company received
complete refund of H432 lakhs in instalments from MSEDCL,
of which H46.30 lakhs received during the year.

MSEDCL has challenged these orders and appealed before
the Hon'ble Supreme Court, where the matter is currently
pending. On a conservative basis, the Company continues
to carry the original gross provision of H3,312.98 lakhs in its
books pending the final judicial outcome.

Refer note 12 and 32 of the financial statements.

Given the significant value of these provisions and the
inherent complexity and subjectivity in their estimation, we
have identified this as a Key Audit Matter

Our procedure included, but were not limited to the
following:

We assessed the management's judgement in determining
the probability of the outcome of the pending litigation, and
an ultimate probability of economic outflow, at the time
when provision was made.

We evaluated adequacy of the provision made in books.

We have obtained information on the pending litigation and
its status. We have obtained explanations from management
to understand the merits in the demand and appeal filled.
We have also considered the adequacy of the disclosures in
respect of the sub-judice matter.

Other Information

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the preparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the information included
in the Company's Annual Report but does not include the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us
after the date of our auditor's report.

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 identified
above when it becomes available 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.

Responsibilities of Management and
Those Charged with Governance for the
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 financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, the profit
and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its
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 financial statements 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 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 responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's 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 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
financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

Ý 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.

Ý 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.

Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.

Ý 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 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.

Ý 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 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 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.
