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 prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with 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 March 31, 2026, 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 of the standalone financial statements 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 Standalone 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 standalone 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 Code
of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note No. 50 of the audited Standalone financial statements regarding the additions made by the Income Tax Authorities, on account of Undisclosed income and disallowance of certain deductions claimed by the company, consequent to an assessment order passed and a demand notice issued on the Company for the assessment year (“AY”) 2017-18 to AY 2023-24 under search assessment proceedings conducted under section 132(1) and section 133A of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
The Company has filed appeals with the Joint Commissioner (Appeals) or Commissioner of Income- Tax (Appeals) against the said Orders and has deposited tax under protest amounting to INR 102.77 million.
Further as explained in the note, the management believes that considering the on-going assessment proceedings and the appeals filed by the Company, the impact, if any including income tax, interest and other charges, on the previous period financial statements and the current year audited standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, is not expected to be material.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
