Basis for Qualified Opinion
1. As disclosed in note no.9 of the Financial Statements the Company is having of Trade Receivables
amounting to Rs. 96,090.39 Thousand and which is outstanding from long time or for a period of
more than 12 months and management is not able to provide the balance confirmation of the same
as on the Balance sheet date and the management have filed an application with NCLT against two
parties covering the receivables of Rs. 61,240 Thousand which is under process and order is not yet
passed at NCLT and one party covering the receivables of Rs. 11,755.69 Thousand which is under
CIRP process as per NCLT order 06.01.2025. In absence of such confirmation and reconciliation and
the ongoing recovery proceeding with NCLT, we are unable to ascertain the possible effect of the
same on financial statements for the year.
2. As disclosed in note no. 17 of the Financial Statements the Company is having of Trade payables
amounting to Rs. 58,676.14 Thousand and which is outstanding from long time and management is
not able to provide the balance confirmation of the same as on the Balance sheet date. In absence
of such confirmation and reconciliation, we are unable to ascertain the possible effect of the same
on financial statements for the year.
3. As disclosed in note no. 3 of the Financial Statements, the Company has given the Advances to
certain suppliers amounting to Rs. 28,655.73 Thousand. The management is not able to provide any
document related to such advances and neither the purpose and the commitment against such
advances have been provided to us and also the confirmation of the balance as on the balance sheet
date have also not been provided accordingly in absence of the adequate details and balance
confirmation we are unable to ascertain the possible effect of the same on the financial statements
for the year.
4. The Company received an order from the GST department blocking an Input Tax Credit (ITC) of Rs.
1,060 thousand. Of this, Rs. 150.00 thousand was later unblocked, while the remaining Rs.910.00
thousand remains as blocked. However, the effect of the same has not been reflected in the
financial statements, resulting in an understatement of both the reported loss and liabilities by the
blocked amount of Rs.910.00 thousand.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those SAs are
further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Results
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 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 qualified opinion on the annual financial results.
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 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit

financial statements.
The company has accumulated losses of Rs. 27,997.94 Thousand and it has incurred net loss
amounting to Rs. 15,773.51 Thousand during the year ended March 31, 2025. Further the Company
has accounted Sales Turnover of Rs. 2,187.59 Thousand during the whole financial year which is
negligible as compared to the previous period and also the company does not have any orders in
hand. Further in absence of cash flow the company is unable to repay its liabilities meet other
financial obligations/commitments in timely manner, apart from this there are litigations going on
by or against the Company. All these indicate material uncertainty about the Company''s ability to
continue as a Going Concern. However, the new management have represented that they are trying
to get the approval of the shareholders through special resolution to change the main object clause
of the company and if they will be able to get the approval then they have certain business plans
which will generate the revenue for the company and accordingly the financial statements are
prepared on a going concern basis.
Key Audit Matters
1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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.
2. Except for the matters described in the Basis for qualified opinion and Material Uncertainty Related to
Going Concern 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 other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexures to
Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but
does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s 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 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. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the 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 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. 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 judgements 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, the Management is responsible for assessing the Company''s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to the 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 Financial Statements
1. 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.
2. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 the 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.
¦ Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the Financial Statements that, individually or in 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 and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any
identified misstatement in the financial statements.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 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.

Government in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in "Annexure A" a statement on the matters
