accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind
AS") prescribed under section 133 of the Act, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2024, its loss and 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 Companies Act, 2013. 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 opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements of the current year. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS 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 the matter described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in
our report.

Key audit matter
|
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
|
|
1.
|
Accuracy in identification and
categorisation of receivables from
financing activities as performing and
non-performing assets and in ensuring
appropriate asset classification,
existence of security, income
recognition, provisioning/ write off
thereof and completeness of
disclosure including compliance in
accordance with the applicable extant
guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of
India (RBI).
|
We have assessed the systems and processes laid down by
the Company to appropriately identify and classify the
receivables from financing activities to ensure correct
classification, income recognition and provisioning/write
off including of Non-performing assets as per applicable
RBI guidelines. The audit approach included testing the
existence and effectiveness of the control environment laid
down by the management and conducting of detailed
substantive verification on selected samples of continuing
and new transactions in accordance with the principles laid
down in the Standards on Auditing and other guidance
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Agreements entered into regarding significant transactions
including related to corporate loans have been examined
to ensure compliance. We have also reviewed the reports
generated from management information systems. The
impact of all significant external and internal events
including those, if any, subsequent to balance sheet date
have been taken into consideration for the above
purposes. Compliance with material disclosure
requirements prescribed by RBI guidelines and other
statutory requirements have been verified.

2.
|
Accounting for investments
The Company has investments
aggregating Rs 4,031.58 lakhs in equity
shares as at 31st March, 2024. These
investments are measured either at
cost, fair value through Profit and Loss
("FVTPL) or fair value through Other
Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI")
based on fulfillment of required
criteria which involve management
judgment.
|
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Read the minutes of the meetings authorizing the
investment.
• Performed test of controls on the operating
effectiveness of internal controls on investments.
• Obtained management representations on the
judgments exercised for classification of investments,
including indicative yields and maturity periods
considered for amortised workings.
• Tested the disclosure made by the Company.
|
|

|
The Company's investments (other
than investment in Associates) are
measured at fair value at each
reporting date and these fair value
measurements significantly impact the
Company's results. Within the
Company's investment portfolio, the
valuation of certain assets such as
thinly traded quoted shares and the
unquoted equity requires significant
judgement due to their quotation not
regularly available and unavailable
respectively and limited liquidity in
those shares.
|
We have assessed the Company's process to compute the
fair value of various investments. For regularly quoted
instruments, we have independently obtained market
quotations and recalculated the fair valuations. For the
thinly traded quoted shares and the unquoted instruments,
we have obtained an understanding of the various
valuation methods used by management and analysed the
reasonableness of the principal assumptions made for
estimating the fair values and various other data used
while arriving at the fair value measurement.

Other Information:
The Company's Management and Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Boards' Report
including Annexures to the Boards' Report but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 on the information obtain prior to the date of this
auditors report we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are
required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income),
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with the
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 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 the 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 also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting
process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS 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 scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 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
standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.
