We have audited the standalone financial statements of SUVIDHA INFRAESTATE CORPORATION LIMITED (“the company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other Comprehensive Income), and the Statement of changes in Equity, and the Statement of Cash Flow for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “Standalone financial statement”).
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 31st March 2024 and its Profit (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules there under, 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
Key audit matters (‘KAM’) 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.

The key audit matters
|
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
|
|
Advance booking received in to sales
|
|
|
The company has received Rs. 87.78 lakh from ten customers as booking advance for sale of land since last several years. Neither conveyance deed is executed nor amount is refunded nor balance confirmation is received.
|
Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures:
The management has confirmed that these are genuine transaction and shall be converted in to sales within short period.
We have sent balance confirmation letters to all the parties however, till the time of audit completion neither positive nor negative replies have been received from any of the parties.
|
|
Inventory
|
|
|
The company has been trying to sell plotted lands for the last several years. Forecasts of future sales are dependent on market conditions, which can be difficult to predict and be influenced by political and economic factors.
|
Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures:
Assessing the Company’s valuation methodology for the key estimates, data inputs, and assumptions adopted in the valuation. This involved comparing
|
| |
expected average selling prices with published data such as recently transacted prices for similar properties located in the nearby vicinity of each project and the sales budget maintained by the Company;
The auditors have visited where the company is trying to sell its plotted lands. On a visit, it is found that the said lands are still available without any encroachment.
The management has agreed to sell the land shortly if needed at reduced prices to clear the inventory.
|
|
Unpaid calls
|
|
|
There are unpaid calls of Rs. 50.19 lakh in the Share capital for more than 10 years. The name of shareholders who have not paid is not known. No procedure for forfeiture of shares is initiated.
|
Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures:
The management has agreed to make extra efforts either to obtain the money or start the procedure for the forfeiture of shares.
|
|
Revenue recognition for real estate projects
|
|
|
The Company applies Ind AS 115 “Revenue from contracts with customers” for recognition of revenue from real estate projects, which is being recognised at a point in time upon the Company satisfying its performance obligation and the customer obtaining control of the underlying asset.
Considering the application of Ind AS 115 involves significant judgment in identifying performance obligations and determining when ‘control’ of the asset underlying the performance obligation is transferred to the customer, the same has been considered a key audit matter.
|
Our audit procedures include the following substantive procedures:
Read the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies and assessed compliance of the policies with Ind AS 115.
Obtained and understood revenue recognition process including identification of performance obligations and determination of transfer of control of the asset underlying the performance obligation to the customer.
Read the legal opinion obtained by the Company to determine the point in time at which the control is transferred in accordance with the underlying agreements.
Tested, revenue-related transactions with the underlying customer contracts, sale deed and handover documents, evidencing the transfer of control of the asset to the customer based on which revenue is recognised.
Assessed the revenue-related disclosures included in Note 18(1.12) to the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 115.

Other information
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 financial statements and our 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 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. 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 Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity 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, read with relevant rules issued there under. 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 and the 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 management 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 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 based on 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 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 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 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 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.
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.
