We have audited the Standalone Financial
Statements of Kaushalya Infrastructure
Development Corporation Limited (“the
Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at 31st March, 2024, the Statement of Profit
and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), Statement of Cash flow and the
Statement of Changes in Equity for the year
then ended 31st March, 2024, and notes to the
Standalone Financial Statements including a
summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.

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 Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’)
specified under section 133 of the Act read with
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2024,
and its profit (including other comprehensive
income), its cash flows and the changes in
equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of the Standalone

Financial Statements in accordance with
the Standards on Auditing specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013.
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 Group 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 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
Standalone 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 standalone
financial statements for the financial year
ended 31st March, 2024. 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.

Information Other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report
Thereon

The Company’s board of directors is responsible
for the other information. The other information

comprises the information included in the
Board’s Report (and any other information or
Annual Report as the case may be) 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
during the course of our 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.

Management’s Responsibility for the
Standalone 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
standalone financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted
in India, including the 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 statement 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,
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.

Those Board of Directors are 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
Standards on Auditing 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 Standards
on Auditing, we exercise professional
judgement 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 control
relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances.

• 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements
in the standalone financial statements that,
individually or in the 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
in evaluating the results of our work, and
(ii) evaluating the effect of any identified
misstatements in 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, 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 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.
