MD’S MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,
It gives me immense pleasure to represent you 29th Annual Report of your company M/s. Zodiac
Energy Limited. The world has been changed after COVID-19 Pandemic and humanity is still
struggling to cope up with different mutants of corona virus and wave after wave are engulfing
the globe with huge number of cases. As you all are aware, we all are passing through the testing
time of COVID-19 pandemic and global shutdown. Globally, businesses are facing upheaval task
to stay afloat and survive the situation.
Fiscal F.Y. 2020-21 will be remembered as the year of COVID-19. We are grateful to the frontline
healthcare workers and other support teams who are selflessly and fearlessly serving humanity
during these challenging times. The silver lining is the success of large-scale vaccination in a few
countries including India in controlling the pandemic that is giving hope to humanity at large.

India was relatively successful in managing the first wave of the pandemic outbreak but unfortunately, the second wave of Covid-
19 is spreading the virus much more rapidly across India, including the rural areas which were relatively less impacted in the first
wave. We are cautious and hopeful that with an all-out effort, we will be able to overcome the challenging situation the country is
facing. With rapid Vaccination we expect that the third wave of COVID -19 do not impact India much.
Despite the adverse impact of COVID-19, I am pleased to inform you all that your Company has achieved turnover of ₹100 crore for
the first time in its history reflecting robust growth of 47.20 % in turnover for the financial year 2020-21. Profit After Tax(PAT) has
increased to ₹4.50 crore in FY 2020-21 from ₹ 3.00 crore in FY 2019-20.
This positive performance amid pandemic time was possible mainly on account of continued support of shareholder’s and
pragmatic leadership provided by the Board of Directors. The support at all the levels of operations by all the employees of your
Company also played crucial role in achieving this result.
I would like to thank the entire management team, the work force, the bankers and the Business Associates of the company for
enabling your Company to perform well in this troubled time. I have also taken this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors for
their immense efforts in formulating and steering your Company’s strategies and policies.
The renewable energy is now replacing the fossil fuel energy and from being marginalised source, it is fast becoming mainstream
energy source. The nations across world are changing their usance pattern to embrace more and more renewable energy sources,
Solar being the major among them.
India is embarked to deploy 450 GW of green energy by 2030 including green hydrogen technology and your company is prepared
for being the part of the journey towards fossil fuel free world. I am confident that your Company will achieve greater heights in
the times to come and also will deliver long term value addition to all the stakeholders, namely shareholders, customers and
employees.
Your company is now qualified for migrating to main board of NSE & BSE and your company is preparing for the same and
hopefully, it will migrate to main boards in coming times.
I thank you all very much and I look forward to receive even greater support from all of you.

Stay safe.
With warm Regards,

Kunjbihari Shah
Managing Director

EFFECTS OF COVID -19 ON THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY:
The COVID-19 pandemic towards the end of last financial year created lot of uncertainty on supply as well as demand side and
instrumental in creating high volatility in the market. As you all are aware, we all are passing through the testing time of COVID-19
pandemic and global shutdown. Globally, businesses are facing upheaval task to stay afloat and survive the situation.
We began the financial year under review under complete lockdown and first two months have been washed out due to strict
restrictions on movement of man & material during this time in India.
The COVID-19 pandemic has few adverse effects on the solar sector in India too such as shortage of manpower, adherence to
social distancing, lack of parts and equipment. The reverse migration of skilled and unskilled labour etc.
At present 80% of the solar cells and modules used in Indian projects are coming from China. This pandemic situation has affected
the manufacturing capacities of China and also due to quarantine laws of many countries, logistic from the beginning of the year
has been affected. Due to this many ship container companies had also stopped functioning out of Chinese ports and transporting
goods from China to other countries, including India. This created huge disruption in supplies of components for the projects to be
executed. Also, the cost of material and logistic have been increased substantially.
The brighter side of this pandemic situation is that during the lock-down, the solar power plants installed by clients were
continuously earning for them. Due to this, many clients in residential, industrial, and commercial sector are thinking positively for
installing solar power plants for their electricity requirements. The Govt. of India and Govt. of Gujarat have given tremendous and
commendable support to resume businesses in this pandemic situation. We appreciate their support.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
The discussion hereunder covers Company’s performance and its business outlook for the future. This outlook is based on
assessment of the current business environment and Government policies. The change in future economic and other
developments are likely to cause variation in this outlook.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:
 Global Economy:
The global economy reported de-growth of 3.5% in 2020 compared to 2.9% in 2019, the sharpest contraction since World War II.
This steep decline in global economic growth was largely due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the consequent
suspension of economic activities across the world. This led to global supply chain disruptions, resulting in a de-growth in some of
the largest global economies. Global FDI reported a significant decline from $1.5 trillion in 2019 to $859 billion in 2020, the lowest
since the 1990s and more than 30% below the investment trough that followed the 2008-09 global financial meltdown.

World output (3.5) 2.9

Advanced economies (4.9) 1.7

Emerging and developing economies (2.4) 3.7

Performance of some major economies:
United States: The country witnessed a GDP de-growth of 3.4% in 2020 compared to a growth of 2.3% in 2019.
China: The country’s Gross Domestic Product grew 2.3% in 2020 compared to 6.1% in 2019 despite being the epicenter of the
outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
United Kingdom: Britain’s GDP shrank 9.9% in 2020 compared to 1.4% growth in 2019, 2x the annual contraction recorded in the
aftermath of the global meltdown in 2009.
Japan: Japan witnessed a contraction of 4.8% in 2020, the first instance of a contraction since 2009. (Source: CNN, IMF, Economic
Times, trading economics, Statista, CNBC)
The global economy is projected to grow by 5.5% in 2021 largely due to the successful roll-out of vaccines across the globe,
coupled with policy support in large economies. (Source: IMF)
 Indian Economy:
The Indian economy passed through one of the volatile periods in living memory in 2020-21.
At the start of 2020, India was among five largest global economies; its economic growth rate was the fastest among major
economies (save China); its market size at 1.38 bn was the second largest in the world; its rural population of the under-consumed
is the largest in the world.
The Indian government announced a complete lockdown in public movement and economic activity from the fourth week of
March 2020. As economic activity came to a grinding halt, the lockdown had a devastating impact on an already-slowing economy
as 1.38 billion Indians were required to stay indoors - one of the most stringent lockdowns enforced in the world.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the consequent suspension of economic activities due to the pandemic-induced
lockdown, coupled with muted consumer sentiment and investments, had a severe impact on the Indian economy during the first
quarter of the year under review. The Indian economy de-grew 23.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2020-21, the sharpest de-
growth experienced by the country since the index was recorded.
The Indian and state governments selectively lifted controls on movement, public gatherings and events from June 2020 onwards,
each stage of lockdown relaxation linked to corresponding economic recovery. Interestingly, the recovery was not merely linear
but across-the-board. As controls relaxed what the country observed was a new normal: individuals were encouraged to work from
home; inter-city business travel was replaced by virtual engagement; a greater premium was placed on the ownership of personal
mobility modes (cars and two-wheelers); there was a sharp increase in home purchase following the need to accommodate an
additional room for home working.
The result is that India’s relief consumption, following the lifting of social distancing controls, translated into a full-blown economic
recovery. A number of sectors in India – real estate, steel, cement, home building products and consumer durables, among others -

Zodiac Energy Limited Annual Report 2020-2021 Page 36 of 62


reported unprecedented growth. India degrew at a relatively improved 7.4 per cent in the July September quarter and reported 0.4
per cent growth in the October-December quarter and a 1.6% growth in the last quarter of the year under review. The result is that
India’s GDP contracted 7.3% during 2020-21, largely on account of the sharp depreciation of the first two quarters. This sharp
Indian recovery – one of the most decisive among major economies – has validated India’s robust long-term consumption
potential.
Indian economic reforms and recovery:
India began to report improving Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections month-on-month in the second half of 2020-21 following
the relaxation of the lockdown.
The per capita income was estimated to have declined by 5% from ₹1.35 lakh in 2019-20 to ₹1.27 lakh in 2020- 21.
A slowdown in economic growth and inflation reflected on the country’s currency rate; the Indian rupee was one of the worst
performers among Asian peers, marked by a depreciation of nearly 2.83% in 2020 from ₹71.28 to ₹73.30 to a US dollar before
recovering towards the close of the financial year.
Despite the gloomy economic scenario, foreign direct investments (FDI) in India increased 13% to US$57 billion in 2020, the digital
sector being the biggest catalyst.
The gap between government expenditure and revenue was estimated at ₹12 trillion due to increased borrowing by the
government in May 2020 to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak.
India jumped 14 places to 63 in the 2020 World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking and is the only country in the emerging
market basket that received positive FPIs of $23.6 billion in 2020, ranking eighth among the world’s top stock markets with a
market capitalisation of $2.5 trillion in 2020. The Indian government initiated structural reforms in agriculture, labour laws and
medium-small enterprise segments. The labour reforms were intended to benefit MSMEs increase employment, enhance labour
productivity and wages.
India extended the Partial Credit Guarantee Scheme by relaxing the criteria and allowing state-owned lenders more time to
purchase liabilities of shadow banks.
Under the ₹45,000-crore partial credit guarantee scheme, announced as a part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat package, three
additional months were given to banks to purchase the portfolio of non-banking financial companies.
The government approved amendments to the Essential Commodities Act and brought an ordinance to allow farmers to sell their
crop to anyone; the changes to the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, is intended to ‘deregulate’ agricultural commodities (cereals,
pulses, oilseeds, edible oils, onions and potatoes from stock limits). The government approved the Farming Produce Trade and
Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance, 2020, to ensure barrier free trade in agriculture produce.
The Government relaxed foreign direct investment (FDI) norms for sectors like defence, coal mining, contract manufacturing and
single-brand retail trading.
Outlook:
The outlook for the country appears to be positive in view of the possibility that three down cycles – long term, medium-term and
short-term – could well be reversing at the same time. The long-term downtrend, as a result of non-performing assets, scams and
overcapacity could be over; the medium-term downtrend was caused by the ILFS crisis, select banks collapse as well as affected
NBFCs and companies; the short-term downtrend was on account of the pandemic.
There is a possibility of each of these downtrends having played out that could well lead to a multi-year revival in capital
investments. Besides, a change in the US leadership could result in a revival in global, trade, benefiting Indian exporters.
The Indian economy is projected to grow by more than 10% in FY22, making it one of the fastest growing economies. India’s
growth journey could be the result of a culmination of favorable tailwinds like consistent agricultural performances, flattening of
the COVID-19 infection curve, increase in government spending and favorable policies and the quick-roll out of the vaccine, among
others.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:


Indian renewable energy sector is the fourth most attractive renewable energy market in the world. India was ranked fifth in wind
power, fifth in solar power and fourth in renewable power installed capacity, as of 2019.
Installed renewable power generation capacity has gained pace over the past few years, posting a CAGR of 17.33% between FY16-
20. With the increased support of Government and improved economics, the sector has become attractive from investors
perspective. As India looks to meet its energy demand on its own, which is expected to reach 15,820 TWh by 2040, renewable
energy is set to play an important role. The government is aiming to achieve 227 GW of renewable energy capacity (including 114
GW of solar capacity addition and 67 GW of wind power capacity) by 2022, more than its 175 GW target as per the Paris
Agreement. The government plans to establish renewable energy capacity of 523 GW (including 73 GW from Hydro) by 2030.

Zodiac Energy Limited Annual Report 2020-2021 Page 37 of 62


As of May 2021, India had 95.7 GW of renewable energy capacity, and represents 25% of the overall installed power capacity,
providing a great opportunity for the expansion of green data centers.
The country is targeting about 450 Gigawatt (GW) of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030 – about 280 GW (over 60%) is
expected from solar.
Installed renewable power-generation capacity has increased at a fast pace over the past few years, posting a CAGR of 15.51%
between FY16 and FY21. India had 94.4 GW of renewable energy capacity in FY21.
From April 2015 to February 2021, India has added 117.9 GW of power generation capacity, including 64.5 GW of conventional
source and 53.4 GW from renewable sources.

By December 2019, 15,100 megawatts (MW) of wind power projects were issued, of which, projects of 12,162.50 MW capacity
have already been awarded. Power generation from renewable energy sources in India reached 127.01 billion units (BU) in FY20.
With a potential capacity of 363 GW and with policies focused on the renewable energy sector, Northern India is expected to
become the hub for renewable energy in India.

According to the data released by Department for


Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), FDI
inflow in the Indian non-conventional energy sector stood
at US$ 9.83 billion between April 2000 and December
2020. More than US$ 42 billion has been invested in
India’s renewable energy sector since 2014. New
investment in clean energy in the country reached US$
11.1 billion in 2018. According to the analytics firm British
Business Energy, India ranked 3rd globally in terms of its
renewable energy investments and plans in 2020.

There are some initiatives which are taken by Government of India to boost India’s renewable energy sector which includes:
 In June 2021, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd. (IREDA) has invited bids from solar module manufacturers
for setting up solar manufacturing units under the central government’s Rs. 4,500 crore (US$ 616.76 million) Production
Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
 In June 2021, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved ReNew Power to exchange equity shareholding by its
existing shareholders with shares of ReNew Global. Along with this, the CCI also approved a reverse triangular merger of
ReNew Global’s subsidiary with RMG II.
 In April 2021, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and CEEW’s Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF) jointly launched the
India Renewables Dashboard that provides detailed operational information on renewable energy (RE) projects in India.
 In April 2021, the Ministry of Power (MoP) released the draft National Electricity Policy (NEP) 2021 and has invited suggestions
from all stakeholders such as Central Public Sector Undertakings, Solar Energy Corporation of India, power transmission
companies, financial institutions like Reserve Bank of India, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, HDFC Bank, ICICI
Bank, industrial, solar, and wind associations, and state governments.
 In March 2021, the Union Cabinet approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the field of renewable energy
cooperation between India and the French Republic.

Zodiac Energy Limited Annual Report 2020-2021 Page 38 of 62


 In March 2021, Haryana announced a scheme with a 40% subsidy for a 3 KW plant in homes, in accordance with the Ministry
of New and Renewable Energy's guidelines, to encourage solar energy in the state. For solar systems of 4-10 KW, a 20%
subsidy would be available for installation from specified companies.
 In March 2021, India introduced Gram Ujala, an ambitious programme to include the world's cheapest LED bulbs in rural areas
for Rs. 10 (US$ 0.14), advancing its climate change policy and bolstering its self-reliance credentials.
 In the Union Budget 2021-22, Ministry for New and Renewable Energy was allocated Rs. 5,753 crore (US$ 788.45 million) and
Rs. 300 crore (US$ 41.12 million) for the ‘Green Energy Corridor’ scheme.
 Under Union Budget 2021-22, the government has provided an additional capital infusion of Rs. 1,000 crore (US$ 137.04
million) to Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) and Rs. 1,500 crore (US$ 205.57 million) to Indian Renewable Energy
Development Agency.
The Government is committed to increased use of clean energy sources and is already undertaking various large-scale sustainable
power projects and promoting green energy heavily. In addition, renewable energy has the potential to create many employment
opportunities at all levels, especially in rural areas. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has set an ambitious target
to set up renewable energy capacities to the tune of 227 GW by 2022, of which about 114 GW is planned for solar, 67 GW for wind
and other for hydro and bio among other. India’s renewable energy sector is expected to attract investment worth US$ 80 billion in
the next four years. About 5,000 Compressed Biogas plants will be set up across India by 2023.
It is expected that by 2040, around 49% of the total electricity will be generated by renewable energy as more efficient batteries
will be used to store electricity, which will further cut the solar energy cost by 66% as compared to the current cost. Use of
renewables in place of coal will save India Rs. 54,000 crore (US$ 8.43 billion) annually. Renewable energy will account for 55% of
the total installed power capacity by 2030.

GROWTH DRIVERS:
Green city concept: A green city is entirely run on power generated from renewable resources. In this concept, the proposed city
will receive power from environment friendly facilities such as solar rooftops, solar parks and waste recycle plants. The
government plans to establish a green city in every state and took the first step at Diu, India’s first solar city by day.
Rising fuel prices: India is one of the largest importers of fossil fuels. It is vulnerable to fluctuating fuel prices causing a rise in trade
deficit and weakening rupee. The rising prices of petroleum goods have created an incentive for consumers to avail of alternate
energy sources.
Conducive government policy: The Indian government recognises that green energy is a futuristic alternative to address India’s
growing power demand while ensuring environmental sustainability. To promote the growth of green energy, the Indian
government introduced solar parks under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, making customs and excise duty provisions for solar
rooftops, among others.
Commitment to climate change: India remains committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change, moderating 21% of the
pledged 33% of emissions intensity over 2005 levels. It is expected that India will reach its target of generating 175GW green
power even before the targeted deadline.
Scalable: As renewable energy resources become available in abundance even in the most underdeveloped areas, national
productivity could increase.
Cost-efficient: Renewable energy has zero procurement costs apart from the initial capital expenditure. Following a gradual
decline in transmission cost, the one-time large-scale installation costs can be easily recovered by generated revenues.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report and Shareholder’s Information, but does not
include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Board’s report is expected to be made available
to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone 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
standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
When we read the Board’s report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required
to communicate to those charged with governance and necessary action in accordance with SAs will be taken.
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, of the
Company in accordance with the 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 responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 SA swill 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 the 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 controls 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 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

ANNEXURE – A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 1 (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even
date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls 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 Zodiac Energy Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021
in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the period 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 (‘ICAI’).
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 based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the
“Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies
Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and,
both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 judgment, 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.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 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 authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial
control over financial reporting 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, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such
internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, 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.

I Segment Reporting :
Segments have been identified and reported taking into account nature of products and services, the differing risks and
returns and the internal business reporting systems.
J Leases :
Lease, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset during
the lease term, are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating lease are recognised as an expense in
the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term, considering the renewal terms, if appropriate.
K Earnings Per Share :
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed by adjusting the number of shares used for basic EPS with the weighted average number of shares
that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The weighted average number of
equity shares and potential equity shares outstanding during the period and for all the period presented is adjusted for
events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of
equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
L Taxes on Income :
Income Tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax (charge or credit).
(i) Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the
provision of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
(ii) Deferred tax is recognized, on timing differences, being the difference between taxable income and accounting income
that originate in one period and capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred Tax Assets in respect of
unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognized if there is virtual certainty that there will be
sufficient future taxable income available to realize such losses.
M Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets :
(i) A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the
obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimates.
(ii) Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes. Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor
disclosed in the financial statements.
N Events after reporting date :
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the
reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the
Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
O General :
Any other accounting policy not specifically referred to are consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
