We have audited the accompanying IND AS Financial Statements of ECS BIZTECH LIMITED (“the
Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and
Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), and the Statement of Changes in Equity and
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 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 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”) prescribed under Section 133 of the act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2025, and its 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 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 ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
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.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note No.26 (5) of the Financial Statements with that the company has not
offered any formal plan or agreement with individual employee, group of employees or their
representatives for retirement benefits hence its recognition measurement and disclosures are not
made.
We draw attention to Note 26(9) of the financial statements wherein the Company has transferred
to Reserve and Surplus (i) loans and advances relating to certain Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDRs)
earlier pledged with the bank against borrowings, as the Bank has neither confirmed their existence
nor adjustment against settlement of loan liability, and (ii) deposits made for sales tax appeals.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.”
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 is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis
Report, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, and Shareholder's Information, but
does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The above mentioned
reports are 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 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 in
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If based on 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 and presentation 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 Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015, as amended.
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; 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 is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility 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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 Standalone Financial Statements of the current
year 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.
