We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SAMRAT FORGINGS LIMITED (“the
Company”), which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of
Changes in Equity for the year then ended March 31, 2025, and a summary of 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, 2025, 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
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). 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 independence requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
made there under, 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 that there are no key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors and management 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 Annexure to Board’s Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon. The company’s annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this
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 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.
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 state
of affairs, profit/loss (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and 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 mainte¬
nance 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 objective is 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:
• 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 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 and the board of directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the management and board of directors 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 conclu¬
sions 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 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.
