We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of INDERGIRI FINANCE LIMITED ("the
Company”) which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that
date, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS 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 March 31, 2024, and the profit and total 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 Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind
AS 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 Ind AS 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 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 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 Ind AS
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Ind AS financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Auditor’s Response

1. Allowances for expected credit losses (‘ECL’):
As at 31 March 2024, the carrying value of loan
assets carried at amortised cost, aggregated INR
75,508.08 thousand constituting approximately
90% of the Company’s total assets. Significant
judgement is used in classifying these loan assets
and applying appropriate measurement principles.
ECL on such loan assets carried at amortised
cost is a critical estimate involving greater level
of management judgement. As part of our risk
assessment, we determined that the ECL on
such loan assets has a high degree of estimation
uncertainty, with a potential range of reasonable
outcomes for the financial statements. The elements
of estimating ECL which involved increased level
of audit focus are the following:
• Qualitative and quantitative factors used in staging
the loan assets carried at amortised cost;
• Basis used for estimating probabilities of default
(‘PD’), loss given default (‘LGD’) and exposure at
default (‘EAD’) at product level with past trends;
|
Principal audit procedures performed:
We have examined the Company’s policies that articulate the
objectives of managing each portfolio and their business models.
We have also verified the methodology adopted for computation
of ECL that addresses adopted policies and procedures and
controls for assessing and measuring credit risk on all lending
exposures carried at amortised cost. Our audit procedures related
to the allowance for ECL included the following, among others:
Testing the design and operating effectiveness of the following:
• Completeness and accuracy of the EAD and the classification
thereof into stages consistent with the definitions applied
in accordance with the approved policy including the
appropriateness of the qualitative factors to be applied.
• Completeness, accuracy and appropriateness of information
used in the estimation of the PD and LGD for the different
stages depending on the nature of the portfolio.
• Accuracy of the computation of the ECL estimate including
reasonableness of the methodology used to determine
macro-economic overlays and adjustments to the output of
the ECL.

of default and other related information used in estimating
the PD;
• The mathematical accuracy of the ECL computation by
using the same input data as used by the Company.
• Completeness and accuracy of the staging of the loans and
the underlying data based on which the ECL estimates have
been computed.

• Assessed the systems and processes laid down by the
Company to appropriately ensure compliance and
disclosures as per the applicable Ind AS, RBI guidelines and
other applicable statutory, regulatory and financial reporting
framework.
• Designed and performed audit procedures to assess the
completeness and correctness of the details disclosed
having regard to the assumptions made by the management
in relation to the applicability and extent of disclosure
requirements.

Other information
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Director’s
Report including Annexures to Director’s Report but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the Ind AS 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 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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,
total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows 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 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 Ind AS financial statements, the 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these Ind AS 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 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 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 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 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Ind AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Ind AS 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 misstatements in the Ind AS financial
statements.
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 Ind AS 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.
