at 31 March 2021, its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in terms
of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) and the relevant
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.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
4. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Annual Report, 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.
Page 1 of 6
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 in the 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
5. The accompanying financial statements have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The
Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of 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 and the cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards prescribed under
Section 133 of the Act, read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (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 financial statements that give
a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
6. In preparing the financial statements, Board of Directors 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 Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
7. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
8. 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 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 financial statements.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Page 2 of 6
• 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; and
• 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.
10. 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.
11. Based on our audit, we report that the provisions of Section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act are not
applicable to the Company since the Company is not a public company as defined under Section 2(71) of
the Act. Accordingly, reporting under Section 197(16) is not applicable.

Government of India in terms of Section 143(11) of the Act, we give in the Annexure I, a statement on the
matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order.

32 In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a global pandemic. Consequent to this, Government of India
declared a nation-wide lockdown from 24 March 2020. Subsequently, the nation-wide lockdown was lifted by the Government of
India, but regional lockdowns continue to be implemented in areas with significant number of Covid-19 cases. The Company has
assessed the impact of this pandemic on its business operations and has considered all relevant internal and external information
available up to the date of approval of these financial statements, to determine the impact on the Company’s revenue from
operations for foreseeable future and the recoverability and carrying value of assets. The impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the
overall economic environment being uncertain may affect the underlying assumptions and estimates used to prepare Company’s
financial statements, which may differ from that considered as at the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company
continues its business activities, in line with the guidelines issued by the Government authorities and take steps to strengthen its

operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on nature of products, the
Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current
classification of assets and liabilities.
a. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and
disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include
provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans, provision for
obsolete inventory, deferred tax asset and the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets.
Management believes that the estimates made in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and
reasonable. Actual result could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is
recognised prospectively, in the period in which revisions are made.
b. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before revenue is recognized:
Sale of products
Revenue from sale of product is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership in goods
have been transferred to the buyer and the seller retains no effective control of the goods transferred to
a degree usually associated with ownership and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of
the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. Acquisition cost comprises of purchase price and directly attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of asset is added to its book value only if it increases the
future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Assessment is done at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is made. Assets
whose carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s net selling price and its value in use.
Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing
use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assessment is also done at each reporting
date as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior
accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.

and the rates applicable.

probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a

events not wholly within the control of the Company.
m. Taxes on income
Tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount
expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961. Deferred
income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income
for the year including reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on
the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets
are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. If the Company has carry forward
unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty
supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised against future taxable
profits. Unrecognised deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and recognised to the extent it
has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
