and to the best of our informa on and according to the explana ons given to us, the aforesaid financial statements
give the informa on required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the accoun ng principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2024, its Loss including other comprehensive income, the 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 Audi ng (SAS) specified under sec on 143(10) of the
Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibili es under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibili es for the Audit of the Financial Statements sec on of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Ins tute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibili es 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.
Other Informa on
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for other informa on. The other informa on comprises informa on
included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including annexures to Board's Report and
Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the standalone financial statements and our Auditor's Report
thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other informa on and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connec on with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other informa on and in doing so, consider whether the other informa on is materially
inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If, based on work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
in this other informa on; we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

("the Act") with respect to the prepara on of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial

STOCKHOLDING SECURITIES IFSC LIMITED | 23


RAMANLAL G. SHAH & CO.

posi on, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with accoun ng principles generally accepted in India, including Indian Accoun ng Standards
(Ind AS) prescribed under sec on 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accoun ng Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accoun ng records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preven ng and detec ng frauds and other
irregulari es; selec on and applica on of appropriate implementa on and maintenance of accoun ng policies;
making judgments and es mates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementa on and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were opera ng effec vely for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accoun ng records, relevant to the prepara on and presenta on of the financial statement 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 con nue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, ma ers related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accoun ng unless management
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease opera ons, or has no realis c alterna ve but to do so. The Board
of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial repor ng process.

Auditor's Responsibili es for the Audit of financial statements


Our objec ves 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 scep cism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Iden fy 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 detec ng a material misstatement resul ng from
fraud is higher than for one resul ng from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, inten onal omissions,
misrepresenta ons, 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 sec on 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 opera ng effec veness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accoun ng policies used and the reasonableness of accoun ng es mates and
related disclosures made by management.
• CConclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accoun ng and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or condi ons that may cast
significant doubt on the Company's ability to con nue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw a en on 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 condi ons
24 | 6th ANNUAL REPORT 2023-24
RAMANLAL G. SHAH & CO.

• Evaluate the overall presenta on, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transac ons and events in a manner that
achieves fair presenta on.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other ma ers, the planned scope and
ming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
iden fy 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 rela onships and other
ma ers that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

ANNEXURE B TO AUDITORS' REPORT


Report on internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of sub sec on 3 of sec on 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial repor ng of StockHolding Securi es IFSC Limited
as at 31st March, 2024 in conjunc on 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
principles as codified under the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Repor ng
issued by the Ins tute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibili es include the design,
implementa on and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were opera ng effec vely for
ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the
safeguarding of its assets, the preven on and detec on of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the
accoun ng records, and the mely prepara on of reliable financial informa on, as required under the Companies
Act, 2013.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial repor ng
based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Repor ng (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Audi ng, issued by ICAI and deemed
to be prescribed under sec on 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 Ins tute 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 repor ng was established and maintained and if such controls operated effec vely in
all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system over financial repor ng and their opera ng effec veness. Our audit of internal financial
controls over financial repor ng included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial
repor ng, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and tes ng and evalua ng the design and opera ng
effec veness 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 repor ng.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Repor ng
A company's internal financial control over financial repor ng is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial repor ng and the prepara on of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accoun ng principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial
repor ng includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail accurately and fairly re ect 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 accoun ng principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authoriza ons of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding preven on or mely detec on of unauthorized acquisi on, use, or
disposi on of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limita ons of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Repor ng


Because of the inherent limita ons of internal financial controls over financial repor ng, 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, projec ons of any evalua on of the internal financial controls over financial repor ng to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial repor ng may become inadequate
because of changes in condi ons, 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
repor ng and such internal financial controls over financial repor ng were opera ng effec vely as at 31stMarch, 2024,
based on Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Repor ng issued by the Ins tute of
Chartered Accountants of India.
