However, in view of unavailability of information on status of such assessments or status of recoverability, we are unable to comment upon the resultant impact, if any on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. Had the Company made provision towards such indirect taxes from Government Authorities, the Net Profit of the Company would have increased by Rs 20.46 Crores.

Assessment for identifying disputable one is not available. In absence of any audit evidence with regards to classification, assessment of disputable or otherwise, we are unable to comment thereon and impact thereof on year ended standalone financial statement.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Recoverability and valuation of financial assets - The Company's financial assets comprise trade receivables, loans (to subsidiaries, related parties, and others), advances to suppliers, and other non¬ current financial assets, carried at book value. These balances aggregate to Rs. 386.86 crores, including items under legal restrictions (such as amounts with Canara Bank of Rs. 15.41 crores under NCLAT order) and assets pending realization or subject to disputes. Management has disclosed that these assets are carried at book value, pending assessment of recoverability and recognition of expected credit losses in accordance with Ind AS 109. Significant judgments are involved in evaluating recoverability, especially in light of ongoing proceedings, delays in settlement, and operational uncertainties of counterparties.

Our audit procedures included, among others:
• Obtaining schedules of all significant financial assets and reconciling with general ledger balances.
• Assessing management's basis for carrying the assets at book value, including evaluation of legal documentation, external confirmations where available, and correspondence with counterparties.

Valuation and Recoverability of Financial Assets The Company's financial assets comprise trade receivables (Rs. 170.27 crores), loans and advances (Rs. 245.38 crores including subsidiaries and related parties), other non-current financial assets (Rs. 16.14 crores), and advances to suppliers (Rs. 17.54 crores).
These assets are stated at their respective book values, pending assessment of recoverability and recognition of expected credit losses (ECL) under Ind AS 109.
Certain balances are subject to legal restrictions, resolution proceedings, or bank holdbacks (eg., Canara Bank deposit Rs. 15.41 crores).
Given the magnitude of these balances and the significant management judgment involved in evaluating recoverability, classification, and adequacy of disclosures, we consider this a key audit matter.
|
• Obtained a detailed schedule of all financial assets and tested the arithmetical accuracy and reconciliations.
• Evaluated management's process for assessing recoverability and impairment, including consideration of resolution proceedings and NCLT orders.
• Performed ageing analysis of receivables and tested subsequent collections on a sample basis.
• Obtained external confirmations for significant receivables and loans; where confirmations were not received, performed alternate procedures.
• Verified restrictions on balances (e.g., bank-held deposits) and traced to relevant legal documents / orders.
• Reviewed correspondence with counterparties, legal / professional advisors, and regulatory bodies to assess the impact on recoverability.

Given the complexity of accounting adjustments required under Ind AS and the significant legal and governance aspects, this matter required significant audit attention.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report thereon
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, 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 Board of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone 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 (financial position), profit/loss and other 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 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 which, in the opinion of the Board, are adequate and are being made more robust, 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 standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is 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, it being noted that such controls are the primary responsibility of the management and are continuously being made more robust, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company to express an opinion on 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, This includes any matters relating to internal financial controls that, in our judgment, could be made more robust, without implying a material deficiency, identified 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.
