Independent Auditor’s Report

To The Members of Reliance Retail Limited


Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Reliance Retail Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31st March 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow
Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information (“together referred to as “the financial statements”).
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 prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the 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 31st March 2024, and its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes
in equity 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 specified under section 143(10) of
the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility 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 made 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 obtained by us is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

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 Board of Directors 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.
• 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 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 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 Ind AS and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India. 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; 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, 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.
Those Board of Directors are also 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 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 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.
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.

Annexure “B” To the Independent Auditors’ Report


(Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under ‘Report on other legal and regulatory requirements’ section of our report of even date to the
members of Reliance Retail Limited for the year ended 31st March, 2024)

Report on the internal financial controls over financial reporting under clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Reliance Retail Limited (“the Company”) as of
31st March, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s responsibility for internal financial controls


The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control
over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (“The Guidance Note”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to
Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to
these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing
prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and
the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system
over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial
controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with
reference to these financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements.

Meaning of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting
with reference to these financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
RELIANCE RETAIL LIMITED 11

Inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference
to these financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with
reference to these financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us the Company has, in all material respects,
an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting
with reference to these financial statements were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2024, based on the criteria for internal
financial control over financial reporting established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated
in the Guidance Note.

B.2 SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a) Current and Non-Current Classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on Current/ Non-Current classification considering
an operating cycle of 12 months being the time elapsed between deployment of resources and the realisation in cash and
cash equivalents there-against.

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost, net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing cost and any cost directly
attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use, net charges on foreign exchange contracts

intended use, are considered as pre-operative expenses and disclosed under Intangible Assets Under Development.
The Company assesses if useful life of an intangible asset is finite or indefinite.
Assets with finite useful life are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life and assets with indefinite
useful lives are not amortised but are tested for impairment annually at the cash generating unit level.
A summary of the amortisation/depletion policies applied to the company’s Other Intangible having finite useful life and
to the extent of amortisation is as under.

Particulars Useful life


Softwares
Brands, Trademark and Licences
Over a period ranging from 5 to 25 Years
Platform and related Product Developments
Franchisee Rights

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for Intangible Assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at each
reporting date.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, cash at banks, short-term deposits and short-term highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

(f) Inventories
Items of inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence, if any,
Costs of inventories are determined on weighted average basis except Gold and silver is determined on FIFO basis.
Inventories of Gold / Silver are adjusted with gains / loss on qualifying fair value hedges.

(g) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the mount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(h) Contingent Liabilities


Disclosure of contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of
which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of amount cannot be
made.

(i) Current Tax and Deferred Tax


The tax expenses for the period comprise of current tax and deferred tax. The Company exercises judgment in computation
of current tax considering the relevant rulings and reassesses the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each
reporting period.
18 RELIANCE RETAIL LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024

(j) Revenue Recognition


Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer
at an amount that reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally
concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangement, because it typically controls the goods or services before
transferring them to the customer.
Generally, control is transfer upon shipment of goods to the customer or when the goods is made available to the customer,
provided transfer of title to the customer occurs and the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or
future obligations with respect to the goods shipped.
In respect of revenue from rendering of services, the Company exercises judgement for identification of performance
obligations, and in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.
Generally the credit period does not exceed 90 days for sale of goods or services as the case may be.
Customer acquisition cost comprises of directly attributable cost incurred towards acquisition of new customers and it is
amortised over the expected customer churn period
In case of discounts, rebates, credits, price incentives or similar terms, consideration are determined based on its expected
value, which is assessed at each reporting period.

(k) Financial Instruments


i. Financial Assets
Purchase and sale of Financial Assets are recognised using trade date accounting. Trade receivables that do not contain
a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
All other equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognised in Statement of Profit and
Loss, except for those equity investments for which the Company has elected to present the value changes in ‘Other
Comprehensive Income’. However, dividend on such equity investments are recognised in Statement of Profit and
loss when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
The Company uses ‘Expected Credit Loss’ (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than
those measured at Fair Value Through Profit Or Loss (FVTPL).
Assets are generally measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) except where the Company, based
on the business model objectives, measures these at Amortized Cost or Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive
Income (FVTOCI).
Expected Credit Losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:
• The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial
instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
• Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the
life of the financial instrument).
For Trade Receivables, the Company applies ‘simplified approach’ which requires expected lifetime losses to be
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every
reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12 month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase
in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.

ii. Financial Liabilities


For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts are determined
to approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
RELIANCE RETAIL LIMITED 19

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024

iii. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting


The Company uses various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, forwards &
options and commodity contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to
which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
the hedge.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement of Profit
and Loss, except in case where the related underlying is held as inventory, in which case, they are adjusted to the
carrying cost of inventory.
Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

A. Cash Flow Hedge


The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative Financial Assets/ Liabilities as hedging
instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange
exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash
transactions.

B. Fair Value Hedge


The Company designates derivative contracts or non-derivative Financial Assets/Liabilities as hedging
instruments to mitigate the risk of change in fair value of hedged item due to movement in interest rates, foreign
exchange rates and commodity prices.
iv. Offsetting
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when, and
only when, the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the amount and it intends, either to settle them on
a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

C. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY


The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of assets or liabilities affected in next financial years.

(A) PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT/ INTANGIBLE ASSETS


Estimates are involved in determining the cost attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary
for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. Property, Plant and Equipment/Intangible
Assets are depreciated/amortised over their estimated useful life, after taking into account estimated residual value.
Management reviews the estimated useful life and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the
amount of depreciation/ amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful life and residual values
are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological
and future risks. The depreciation/amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from
previous estimates.

(B) PROVISIONS
The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability (including litigations) requires the application of judgement
to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities
are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
20 RELIANCE RETAIL LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024

(C) IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS


The impairment provisions for Financial Assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss
rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation,
based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each
reporting period.
In case of non-financial assets, assessment of impairment indicators involves consideration of future risks. Further, the
company estimates asset’s recoverable amount, which is higher of an asset’s or Cash Generating Units (CGU’s) fair value
less costs of disposal and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair
value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if no such transactions can be identified, an
appropriate valuation model is used.

(D) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT


For estimates relating to fair value of financial instruments refer note 30 of financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024

The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority, promotion
and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is certified by the
actuary.
The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the composition of Plan
assets held, assessed risks, historical results of return on plan assets and the Company’s policy for plan assets management.
VII. The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with Financial year 2023-24.

VIII. Sensitivity Analysis


Significant Actuarial Assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount trade, expected
salary increase and employee turnover. The sensitivity analysis below, have been determined based on reasonably possible
changes of the assumptions occurring at end of the reporting period , while holding all other assumptions constant. The
result of Sensitivity analysis is given below:

Particulars As at As at
31st March, 2024 31st March, 2023
Decrease Increase Decrease Increase
Change in rate of discounting ( delta effect of +/- 0.5%) 8 9 9 10
Change in rate of salary increase ( delta effect of +/- 0.5%) 9 9 9 10
Change in rate of employee turnover ( delta effect of +/- 0.5%) - - 1 1
(Decrease ` 42,399 and Increase ` 2,29,210)

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
Investment risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined
by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
Interest risk:A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase
in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Longevity risk:The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality
of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will
increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk:The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants.
As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to perform or pay the amounts due causing
financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from Company’s activities in investments, dealing in derivatives and receivables
from customers. The Company ensure that sales of products are made to customers with appropriate creditworthiness. Investment
and other market exposures are managed against counterparty exposure limits. Credit information is regularly shared between
businesses and finance function, with a framework in place to quickly identify and respond to cases of credit deterioration.
The Company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk arising in the course of its business activities.
Credit risk across the Company is actively managed through Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, Parent Company Guarantees,
advance payments and factoring & forfaiting without recourse to the Company. The Company restricts its fixed income investments
in liquid securities carrying high credit rating.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s inability to meet its cash flow commitments on the due date. The Company maintains
sufficient stock of cash, marketable securities and committed credit facilities. The Company accesses global and local financial
markets to meet its liquidity requirements. It uses a range of products to ensure efficient funding from across well-diversified
markets. Treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s cash flow position and ensures that the Company is able to meet
its financial obligation at all times including contingencies.
The Company’s liquidity is managed centrally with operating units forecasting their cash and liquidity requirements. Treasury
pools the cash surpluses and arranges to either fund the net deficit or invest the net surplus in a range of short-dated, secure and
liquid instruments including short-term bank deposits and similar instruments. The portfolio of these investments is diversified
to avoid concentration risk in any one instrument or counterparty.
